Chapter: 3559

"It's impossible to let them off that easily." Ye Zhong waved his hand and began speaking, "Later tonight, we'll receive news from outside. They think we've failed and accepted the harsh conditions imposed by Wanyue Hall, so they'll directly demand that each of us contribute half our assets. I believe they won't dare not to comply."

Ye Zhong's eyebrow shot up in surprise, and he exclaimed, "Chest, you...you're asking them to bleed for you, to give their flesh for you..."

Ye Zhong said expressionlessly, "I want them to bleed for me, to give their flesh for me, but it won't be me who asks. It'll be Wanyue Hall."

As he spoke, Ye Zhong continued, "After Wanyue Hall gets their assets, they'll use offshore companies to transfer the money back to our family. Just in time for my recent overseas transportation venture, I can get some money from them and buy a few dozen cargo ships. That's not counting the people who will be gained; if we can get around two or three trillion out of it, that should still be no problem."

Ye Zhong put Wan Bohun under his control, all for the purpose of letting Wanyue Hall do these dirty and exhausting tasks on behalf of himself.

It had to be acknowledged that Wanyue Hall's coercive power was very strong.

As for the rest, yesterday, Wan Bohun let Luhao Tian propose those many harsh conditions, including giving up half our assets, handing over the entire Ye Ling Mountain, and even wearing mourning clothes and kneeling to receive them.

But these spineless, fearful, and incompetent relatives of ours, Longkang and Longyun, won't they all rush to agree one by one?

Now, if Wanyue Hall asks the same thing from other branches of our family, they will probably not dare not to comply.

Ye Zhong's expression was complex, hesitating for a moment before he finally spoke up, "Fine! Just let them do it. These ungrateful things are all thanks to our family's support, but our family has difficulties. They're running away one by one, and it's only fair that they pay the price."

One side, Ye Zhongzhao's expression was very tense, and he spoke up: "Zhen Er... my son and grandson are leaving at my insistence. I'm old now, and even if I die, I want to die with my older brother and ancestors. But they're still young, and I really can't bear for them to stay behind and take risks, so please look favorably upon me and raise your hand high."

Ye Zhen nodded his head seriously: "Indeed, it's moving to leave something behind. As you wish, I won't pursue it from now on at your place."

He spoke, his expression coldly saying: "But outside of your family, no one else can be exempt!"

Ye Zhongzhao let out a sigh and wiped away sweat, saying: "Zhen Er, thank you so much... "

Ye Zhen waved his hand again and said to Man Break Army: "Break Army, I'll be going to Northern Europe tonight. Tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock, I definitely won't make it back in time. By then, please go down to Ye Ling Mountain and perform a solo show for them one by one, making each of them voluntarily hand over half their assets to Wanyue Hall. Even after the money's been given, don't let them leave, and have them kneel until I return!"

Man Break Army bowed his head: "Sir, please be at ease. Subordinate will take care of it!"

He finished speaking and asked again in a hurry: "Sir, since you're going to Northern Europe this time, do you need me to accompany you?"

Ye Zhen waved his hand: "No need. You still have parents to lay to rest. Tomorrow, let the outside relatives of Ye House take care of it. Please attend to your parents' funeral arrangements."

Man Break Army spoke respectfully: "Subordinate will follow orders!"

Ye Zhen nodded slightly: "Okay, then I'll leave all Ye House's outside relatives' affairs to you."

He finished speaking and looked at Ye Zhongquan again, saying lightly: "This time's ancestral worship ceremony can just skip all those tedious procedures! Ancestral worship is about sincerity. If one's heart isn't sincere, what's the point even if you put on a grand show?"

Ye Zhongquan nodded slightly, agreeing: "You're right, Ye Chen. Ancestral worship is not about showmanship, but sincerity. In the past, everyone went to great lengths to hold ancestral worship ceremonies, only to encounter dangers and most people ended up abandoning their ancestors' graves. Now our ancestors in the underworld must be wondering what's going on."

The kneeling members of the Ye family all looked shamefaced and couldn't dare look up.

Ye Chen didn't bother with them, took a few steps forward, and knelt down at the front of the Ye family ancestral tomb, gazing at the hundreds of ancestors' graves and his parents' mausoleum. He loudly proclaimed: "Our ancestors are above! I, the unworthy descendant Ye Chen, have been away from home for twenty years without being able to pay respects to our ancestors. I hope they can forgive me!"

He paused for a moment before continuing: "Today marks the new beginning of the Ye family in this time of crisis! As the unworthy descendant Ye Chen, I also officially return to my ancestral home and take on the position of family head!" JrNovels.com
