Chapter: 1570

Lei Chen nodded: "Thank you for your trouble."

Chen Ze Kai hastened to say: "Young master, this is what's expected of me!"

Ye Chen nodded: "Okay, Old Chen, I'll be going to Yanjing next week. As for the matters in Jinling, you and Hong Wu can handle them. Especially with regards to my wife's situation, please make sure to send someone to secretly protect her. The Wu family is still struggling, and I guess they're unwilling to let things go."

Chen Ze Kai exclaimed: "Young master, are you going to Yanjing? Is it a trip back to Ye's place?"

Ye Chen shook his head: "I haven't decided yet."

Chen Ze Kai asked with surprise: "Young master, please forgive me for speaking out of turn. What is the purpose of your trip to Yanjing this time? If you're not going back to Ye's place, then you'll need to be careful around that Kong De Long! I heard he's recovering from surgery at home and is plotting against you."

"Plotting against me?" Ye Chen laughed coldly: "A mere Kong family young master dares to scheme against me? This time I'm going to Yanjing for my own purposes. If he doesn't keep a low profile or dares to cause trouble, then I won't let him get away with it."

Chen Ze Kai asked again: "Young master, do you need me to notify the family and have them receive you over there? It could also provide some convenience for you."

"No need," Ye Chen said: "I'm not planning on letting the Ye family know about this trip, so please keep it a secret."

"Alright, young master,"

Ye Chen nodded and asked: "Old Chen, I have something to ask you."

Chen Ze Kai hurriedly replied: "Young master, feel free to ask."

"Alright, young master," Ye Chen asked: "Do you know whether it was intentional or not when my parents passed away?"

Chen Ze Kai hesitated and said: "Young master, at the time your parents passed away, I hadn't joined the Ye family yet. I was still in school, and after graduation, I started working for a company under the Ye family's umbrella, and then gradually rose through the ranks to become the Jinling representative. At that time, discussing your parents' affairs was strictly forbidden within the Ye family. Even those older than me with more experience kept quiet about it, so I didn't pursue any details."

Ye Chen furrowed his brow tightly and nodded slightly.

It seems that there must be some hidden truth behind what happened to your parents, but it's possible that it's highly classified information within the Ye family, even for someone like me in my position.

So he didn't ask anymore and simply instructed him: "Old Chen, remember not to mention our conversation to anyone. If anyone from the Ye family asks, you absolutely cannot reveal anything."

Chen Ze Kai's expression turned grave, and he blurted out: "Young master, don't worry! I won't say a word outside!"

If this matter had occurred before I killed the eight great heavenly kings at Long White Mountain, my heart would naturally be more inclined towards the Ye family people. You're just one of the Ye family's stray children, and the Ye family is my own lord.

But after I saw your mighty divine abilities with my own eyes at Long White Mountain, I made up my mind in my heart to bow down to you for life!

That means that in my current view, I only have one master - that is you, Ye Chen.

If you ever tell me to draw my sword against the Ye family people, I'll do it without hesitation."

I bid farewell to Chen Zhekai and left the Jinling Gymnasium alone.

Instead of going home right away, I gave my father-in-law Shao Changkun a call and asked him, "Dad, where are you?"

Shao Changkun laughed and said, "Good son-in-law, I'm at the Old Age University. Our lecture is going really well, and everyone's discussing it eagerly. You have no idea how great the atmosphere is!" JrNovels.com
