Chapter: 4466

"'The evil in poverty-stricken alleys is straightforward and violent, with guns, drugs, and human trafficking. But the evil on Wall Street is even more terrifying, as those successful individuals sitting in high-rise office buildings can decide the fate of thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of people from third-world countries in the pursuit of profit.'"

Ye Chen noticed that Chen Zhaojun was also moved by this and couldn't help but ask, "'Uncle, after so many years in America, haven't you ever thought about going back?'"

Chen Zhaojun hesitated for a moment before looking at Ye Chen seriously, saying "'To be honest, I've thought about it. Although my father is no longer with us, my mother is still alive and has grown old. I also want to fulfill my filial duties by her side...'"

He sighed softly, saying "'However, when Mr. Wang helped me persuade Liu Sheng back then, I promised Liu Sheng that this would be the case, and this is a promise I must keep for life.'"

Ye Chen spoke softly, saying, "'Clock Uncle, just because it's Liu Sheng from the Hong Kong area, I don't mind helping you out. As long as you want to go back, I'll take care of everything for you.'"

Chen Zhaojun stood up, hands clasped together, and bowed slightly, saying, "'Ye, you're a mighty person who can move mountains, not just one Liu Sheng, but even ten Liu Shenngs wouldn't be your match......'"

He said this with a sense of shame and regret, saying, "'But Ye, as a gentleman says, once a promise is made, it's hard to catch up. I Chen Zhaojun don't fear death, but I'm afraid someone will strike at my spine and call me a small-minded person who breaks promises......'"

"So please don't pressure Liu Sheng for my sake. He has kept his promise and hasn't pursued me again, so I should also keep my promise and not return to Hong Kong!'"

Ye Chen listened with a subtle look of surprise, feeling that Chen Zhaojun was noble and righteous, but also realizing that he had set his moral standards too high, tormenting himself alone.

However, Ye Chen could see the determination in his eyes and knew that this matter couldn't be resolved according to his own wishes. To get Chen Zhaojun to put aside past grievances and move forward, he would have to follow the old saying: "To tie up a bell, one must find the right person."

Otherwise, even if Ye Chen let Wang's family escort Chen Zhaojun back to Hong Kong and use force to coerce Liu Sheng into submission, Chen Zhaojun's heart would still feel short of the mark.

In reality, Ye Chen hadn't thought about having a different conversation with Chen Zhaojun. Although he had an agreement with Liu Sheng not to return to Hong Kong, he didn't have an agreement with Liu Sheng that couldn't be broken by going back to the mainland and working for the Ye family group.

At that time, he could go back to the mainland and work for the Ye family group, having the backing of the Ye family group, and even if Liu Sheng knew, it would be impossible for him to come to Ye's house and demand an explanation.

But when the words reached his lips, Ye Chen ultimately didn't say them out loud.

He knew that with Chen Zhaojun's character, he would definitely not reject his request due to his father's favor and lifesaving grace.

He didn't think it was right to let him fully commit himself to Ye's family business before he had even opened up his heart.

So, Ye Chen decided that after his wife Xiu Chunran finished her master's degree in the United States, he would take some time off and go to Hong Kong Island to have a good chat with Liu over there, and hopefully get him to personally retract his original request regarding Chen Zhaojun, allowing Chen Zhaojun to freely return to Hong Kong Island.

After he returned to Hong Kong Island and had settled his affairs, I'll throw out the olive branch again.

Upon thinking of this, Ye Chen stood up and said to Chen Zhaojun: "Uncle Clock, I understand what you mean. Please don't worry, I guarantee that I won't force anyone to do anything. If I have the ability, I'll make Liu come to New York to ask for your return; if not, I won't use my powers to coerce Liu into doing so."

Chen Zhaojun listened until this point and thought about what to say, then hesitated for a moment before returning without saying anything.

Then he looked at Ye Chen, feeling grateful and nodding his head slightly, speaking sincerely: "Thank you, Young Master Ye for understanding!"

Ye Chen glanced at the time, opened his mouth and said: "Uncle Clock, I have some things to attend to, so I won't bother you. Your daughter-in-law should invite you to her concert tomorrow, right? If you're free, we'll meet up then."

Chen Zhaojun shook his head and said: "Young Master Ye, I won't be going to Cousin Mei's concert. Today, your uncle-in-law is probably still in Los Angeles, and Li Yalin's attention is currently focused on the Qi family group. Once they finish dealing with their own business, they'll likely come find me to ask about Miss Qi."

"As long as Li Yalin doesn't recognize that I was beside Ms. Qi when she lost her phone that day, I can say that Ms. Qi just happened to stop by for a meal, and I spent the whole day thinking about making a living, not knowing anything about celebrities; if they don't have any clues about my connection with Ms. Qi, I think this time we'll be able to get through it smoothly; but if they discover that I'm going to see Ms. Qi's concert tomorrow, this matter will be very difficult to explain, and Li Yalin may even remember me."

Ye Chen nodded thoughtfully and said: "Uncle Clock, since that's the case, I'll wait until my next opportunity to come visit you in New York then!" JrNovels.com
