Chapter: 6233
Steve hurriedly said, "No! Absolutely not!"
As he spoke, Steve took advantage of the fact that he had already drunk some wine and casually poured himself another full cup. He took a deep breath, swallowed the wine, and with a resentful expression, said to Ye Chen, "Mr. Ye, there's no one else here. I'm just speaking my mind. You sent Helen to New York to take revenge, which really caused me trouble! It's not what you initially said. You told me that all I had to do was help you, and after your father received the shock, it would be up to me to inherit the position of clan leader. But you didn't expect you to send Helen to give him medicine, which is equivalent to deceiving me..."
Ye Chen spoke calmly, "That's correct. I did deceive you."
Steve stared at him in astonishment, muttering, "You... why did you do that?"
Ye Chen said simply, "It's very simple, Steve. Because you're untrustworthy. In my eyes, you're someone who is completely lacking in integrity."
Steve said dejectedly, "Leave me alone, Mr. Ye! You're totally misunderstanding me! I'm not that kind of person!"
Ye Chen smiled and said, "I know exactly what's behind you. If you really were to inherit the family position without any obstacles, your first move would be to weaken your brothers as much as possible, then kick them out one by one once you've fully taken control of the family. And your second move would be to break our agreement because by that time, you'd have solidified your footing and wouldn't care if I exposed the internal affairs of the Four Treasures Pavilion."
Steve was taken aback, then silently poured himself a cup of wine and downed it in one gulp.
Ye Chen's words had already made him lose all motivation to defend himself.
Ye Chen continued to say, "As for me, I've always done things from a small-scale to a large-scale. If I didn't use your father's health issues to manipulate you, would you have voluntarily kowtowed to me today?"
Steve was speechless for a moment.
Ye Chen said again, "Steve, I think we'll still be honest with each other in the future. It's pointless to pretend or feign innocence."
Steve nodded slightly, looking guilty, and said, "Mr. Ye, you're right..."
Ye Chen smiled and continued to say, "Steve, actually, you have an advantage over your father here."
As soon as Steve heard this, his eyes lit up with a gleam of excitement, and he hastily asked, "Mr. Ye, what kind of advantage are you talking about?"
"Actually, you and I have a direct connection, but your father doesn't, whether theoretically or physically. You're closer to me than him if it weren't for your lack of sincerity. If I didn't lack sincerity, I wouldn't let Helena go talk to your father and establish an indirect connection."
Saying this, Ye Chen continued, "Look, if you were the boss of a supermarket and found that the people living across from you didn't choose to buy things from you but went all the way to another district to buy them. You can't criticize the buyer's habits; instead, you need to find the problem within yourself or maybe it's because others have something you don't."
Steve nodded repeatedly, feeling guilty and said, "Mr. Ye, you're right... I'll be completely sincere with you from now on and won't hide anything!"
Ye Chen smiled and said, "You can observe that."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Chen brought the topic back to finding people, asking him, "By the way, you just mentioned wanting the other party to pay blood debts. However, this is China, not America; the Rockefeller family won't directly send someone here to stir up trouble, right?"
Steve was warned by Ye Chen and felt a lingering sense of unease while also wanting to get closer to Ye Chen, so he didn't hide anything and said, "Mr. Ye, such dirty work, we definitely won't do it ourselves; it might even cause diplomatic incidents or public crises. We usually like to find Mexican labor to handle this kind of thing, you know those Mexican criminal organization members who are afraid of nothing but the United States."
"Mexican people..." Ye Chen thought back to the criminal organizations he had wiped out in Mexico and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that the Rockefeller family would have cooperation with Mexican criminal organizations."
Steve hurriedly said, "It's not really cooperation; it's just using them once. This isn't a secret in America either; every criminal organization in Mexico relies on selling drugs to Americans for American money. Although they can brutalize and intimidate people in Mexico, in their eyes, the United States is their patron saint; to ensure that their goods and money enter and exit the US without trouble, they will happily do things for Americans."
Ye Chen nodded, smiling, "It seems that the Rockefeller family really has a lot of tricks up its sleeve."
As he finished speaking, Ye Chen asked him, "Since you want to find someone who went missing in Jinling, do you need my help to look into some leads?" JrNovels.com
