Chapter 153: The Ye Family’s State
Translator: Tim Editor: Chrissy
Of course, Ye Mo knew what Ye Ling was thinking. She was afraid he would massacre the Ye Family. Ye Mo wouldn't be so stupid. Even if Ye Ling had no feelings for the Ye Family, he couldn't kill people now, much less when she did have sentiments for them. Even if he were to kill, he would do it secretly. That way, even if everyone knew his actions, none would have evidence.
If Ye Wenqi didn’t dare to slap himself, then don't blame him for playing dirty. He crushed three small pieces of ore and shot one into Ye Wenqi’s body, and two towards the men who whipped Ye Ling. Then, he carried Ye Ling and left.
Looking at Ye Mo’s disappearing shadow, Ye Beirong seemed to have aged ten years. After a long time, he murmured, “Is the Ye Family going to end?”
Ye Wenqi didn’t realize Ye Mo had saved his life. Now that Ye Mo left, he immediately said, “Father, don’t worry, since Ye Mo didn’t kill today, he shouldn’t. Although he’s strong, he’s only one person. Could he compare with the entire family? Wouldn’t he be afraid of the country’s judgment?”
“Shut up! You think I don’t know your little acts? You wanted to suppress Ye Mo, that’s fine, but now you even want to touch Ye Zifeng. You knew nothing about Ye Ling stealing the Dragon Balls? Although Ye Ling is unforgivable, you knew what she did and didn’t stop her. I originally thought that after the Ye Family leaves the political scene, I might as well give you the family. But now, it seems I was very wrong,” Ye Beirong spoke so hastily that he coughed.
Seeing no one from the Ye Family was awake to reality, Ye Beirong sighed again. The only elite of the Ye Family was kicked out. One that was slightly better was also suppressed. To protect Ye Zifeng, he had to send him to England, and now, Ye Wenqi still spoke with arrogance. Ye Mo wasn’t even afraid of Nan Qing; even the Song Family feared him. Why would he be scared of the Ye Family?
Ye Beirong said without interest, “I’m disappointed. The Song Family found out Ye Mo’s power and identity and didn’t dare to fight him, but our Ye Family acted like fools. Ye Long, your intel work is really well done. Wenjin, the Gu Luo guy Ye Ling knew was introduced by you, right? Why is Ye Lu fine? Do you all think I’m old?”
Ye Wenqi’s face paled, but he didn’t argue.
Seeing everyone was silent, Ye Beirong was more disappointed. After a while, he said, “Ye Wenqi, tomorrow, apply for a relocation out of Beijing. You can decide where you go. Wenjin, tomorrow, hand in your resignation and go with your second brother to do business. From today onwards, no one is allowed in the Ye Family mansion without my permission.”
Saying this, Ye Beirong pretty much removed Ye Wenqi and Ye Wenjin from the Ye Family’s authority center. Although he gave Ye Ling to Ye Wenqi to deal with, Ye Wenqi didn’t have any kinship in mind, and that greatly disappointed him.
“Grandpa, wouldn’t our family gradually leave the five great families of Beijing?” Ye Huang was unhappy hearing his father was leaving Beijing. He knew that once they left Beijing, he would no longer be the Ye Family’s young master.
“Hmph, the five great families—once I’m dead, why should the Ye Family be one of them? Stop dreaming. Let our fame stop here. If anyone stirs up trouble, clean up your own mess. Everyone leave, Ye Long and Beiguang stay.” Ye Beirong finished and leaned tiredly against the chair.
He had a plan; it was an all-or-nothing bet. If he failed, the Ye Family would leave Beijing’s authority center. As such, he wouldn’t tell his plan here.
The Ye Family members dejectedly left the meeting room. Although Ye Wenqi wanted to argue, he knew his father’s decision was adamant. He had no choice but to retreat.
At last, only Ye Beirong, Ye Long, Ye Beiguang, and Brother Jing, who never spoke, remained.
Unexpectedly, Brother Jing smiled and spoke after everyone left, “Beirong finally made up his mind, but that Ye Mo is indeed an elite talent. Few young people can compare with him.”
Ye Beirong smiled wearily. “I knew I couldn’t hide it from Brother Jing, but I really have no choice. Few of my sons are talented. They only know how to fight amongst themselves. Wenqi is only a little smart but still can’t lead the family. My original plans are wrong. Although Ye Mo ravaged the Ye Family, this might not be a bad thing. You can’t rise from the ashes without being burned first.”
The old man nodded. “Brother Beirong is right. After Wenqi and Wenjin leave Beijing, you can bring Zifeng back and gradually hand the family over to him. Although Ye Mo isn’t on good terms with the Ye Family, he seems to be pretty good to Ye Ling. That means he would be good to Zifeng. As long as Zifeng leads the Ye Family, if something happens, Ye Mo wouldn’t stand and watch. Looking at his wide connections and fierce means, the Ye Family will blossom.”
Ye Long finally understood. He wanted to say something but couldn’t.
Ye Beirong looked at Ye Long and said, “Originally, I gave most of the authority to Wenqi and Wenjin. Your resources were limited, so I don’t blame you for not having enough intel. But from today on, I will give you more resources. If you still can’t make progress, then decide what to do yourself.”
“Yes, leader, don’t worry, I won’t disappoint you.” Ye Long was joyful. His resources were too limited compared to Song Hai’s. The main reason was that most of the authority was in Ye Wenqi’s and Ye Wenjin’s hands.
…
In a Beijing house, although Ye Ling brought Ye Mo here, he was unfamiliar with it. He had no impression of living here. The room was relatively clean, showing that although Ye Ling rarely lived here, she frequently cleaned it.
Ye Mo went out to buy simple meals and a few sets of clothes. Under Ye Mo’s chi cultivation treatment, Ye Ling had fully recovered. After eating, she felt even better.
“Brother, how did you know I was captured? How did you know I was in the mosque? Did you ask someone?” After Ye Ling recovered, she wanted to know how Ye Mo knew she was captured.
Ye Mo said self-blamingly, “I went to an elite social night in Beijing, and because I taught Song Yi a lesson, I heard people talking about the Ye Family. I was worried about you, so I went to your dorm but didn’t find you. My first reaction was that something happened to you. I went to the Ye Family, and luckily, you were alright; otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to forgive myself.”
“Thank you, brother. Before, I always looked down on you, but now, I know how naïve I was. There are things you can’t resist. You and second brother are the most important people to me. Without you, I may have died. After Mum and Dad passed away, I thought no one would care about me. I don’t know how many times I felt sad and helpless, but now, I know I still have my brother. But Grandpa is so cold-hearted…” Ye Ling fell into Ye Mo’s arms and cried.
Ye Mo patted Ye Ling’s back and blamed himself. Honestly, he never thought of Ye Ling or how she was doing. He didn’t know what she did for him.
If he wasn’t trying to find Ye Zifeng, even if she was beaten to death, he wouldn’t know. Even if he knew, he wouldn’t care. But now, he understood kinship. Ye Ling looked down on him but still did many things for him quietly because he was her brother.
Ye Mo came to Beijing because someone owed him money and he was helping a friend’s son. He only thought of visiting Ye Zifeng after arriving. Now, he understood that he had a sister who cared about him.
For the first time, Ye Mo felt warmth, making him lose himself in thought. After a while, he said self-blamingly, “Sorry, Ye Ling, I never thought about you and made you suffer so much, I…”
Ye Ling suddenly said happily, “Brother, if something good happens from now on, you need to remember me. I’m happy to see you so strong and capable. Dad must be happier. Although I didn’t achieve it, Dad’s last wishes came true. After second brother comes back, we will move out together. I won’t stay in Beijing anymore; I don’t like it here.”
Then, Ye Ling suddenly thought of something. She immediately said, “Brother, Big Uncle saying you’re naturally impotent must be fake, right? I knew it. If Tian He didn’t tell me yesterday, I would’ve thought it was true. They really are bad to the bone.”
Ye Mo touched his nose awkwardly; his thoughts were indeed correct. He didn’t want to talk about this with Ye Ling.
“Hehe, brother, why are you being shy? You’re already at this age. Okay, I’ll save your face and won’t talk about it. I feel really energetic. It’s night already, so I’ll invite you to a good meal tomorrow.” Ye Ling laughed. She didn’t think Ye Mo would be this shy. Her dorm mates were much more open.
This time, their talk was much more intimate than last night. Afterward, Ye Mo and Ye Ling felt the care they had for each other; their originally distant relationship became closer.
“Brother, I’m going to take a shower and sleep. I’m going to invite my dorm mates tomorrow for food; we’ll go together. You can sleep in second brother’s room.” Ye Ling wanted to shower and sleep. Although she had recovered, she still felt tired.
Ye Mo gathered the ores and prepared to make a storage ring and a protective amulet for Ye Ling that night. He didn’t want Ye Ling to undergo such torture again.
