Chapter 1106

Upon hearing the order, Chen Zekai spoke without the slightest hesitation: "Understood, Master Ye. I will arrange a plane immediately to send them both to Mount Zhangbai. I will arrange for dedicated personnel to guard them 24 hours a day, and I will ensure they never have a chance to escape!"

Ye Chen nodded in satisfaction, pointed at Hashimoto Chika nearby, and said: "By the way, send this Japanese friend along with them as well."

Upon hearing this, Hashimoto Chika was so terrified that he burst into tears, sobbing and begging: "Mr. Ye, this entire matter was the work of the Song father and son; they are the masterminds. I am merely someone who followed orders. You cannot send me to Mount Zhangbai under any circumstances! Please, I beg you, let me go!"

Ye Chen sneered: "Hashimoto Chika, do you think that just because you aren't the mastermind, you don't have to be held responsible? Let me tell you, your nature is just as vile as theirs!"

Having said that, Ye Chen instructed Chen Zekai again: "Old Chen, once this Hashimoto Chika arrives at Mount Zhangbai, treat him exactly the same as Song Tianming and Song Rongyu. There must not be the slightest bit of bias, understand?"

Chen Zekai nodded without hesitation and said: "Master Ye, rest assured, I will arrange everything perfectly!"

Ye Chen turned to look at Old Master Song Jimo and asked: "Old Master, are you satisfied with how I have handled this?"

Old Master Song had spent his life in the business world, acting with decisive ruthlessness. When he learned that Song Tianming and Song Rongyu were planning to move against him, he had secretly warned himself that if he ever managed to turn the tables, he would never be soft-hearted.

But when it truly came to the critical moment, he discovered that he still could not bring himself to be completely heartless.

After all, they were his own son and grandson. If he truly killed them, it would be the elderly burying the young, and it would inevitably lead to a family tragedy.

As the saying goes, even a tiger does not eat its cubs. Although there have been instances throughout history of sons killing their fathers, there are few recorded deeds of fathers killing their sons.

Old Master Song was no different.

Although his life had been infinitely glorious, he was ultimately unable to escape the label of an ordinary person.

What is an ordinary person?

One who cannot sever their seven emotions and six desires is an ordinary person.

At the critical moment, being unable to sever the bonds of flesh and blood was Old Master Song's dilemma.

It was precisely because of this that he could only leave the two of them to be dealt with by Ye Chen.

Now, Ye Chen had decided to exile them to Mount Zhangbai. Although the conditions were extremely harsh, when it came down to it, he had still left them their miserable lives.

This also allowed Old Master Song to breathe a sigh of relief.

Therefore, he hurriedly and respectfully said to Ye Chen: "Master Ye, no matter what decision you make, I have not the slightest objection!"

Ye Chen nodded and asked Song Wanting: "Wanting, do you have any objections? If you have any, feel free to bring them up."

Song Wanting also hurriedly said: "Master Ye, Wanting has no objections. I will listen to your arrangements in everything!"

Ye Chen then said: "Since everyone has no objections, then we shall proceed with this. Old Chen, have someone take the three of them away; don't let them be an eyesore here."

Chen Zekai immediately ordered several men in black: "Take the three of them away and guard them strictly! Do not allow any mistakes to happen, do you hear me?"

The crowd hurriedly said: "Understood!"

Having said that, they escorted the three of them out.

Song Tianming and Song Rongyu kept crying and begging for mercy. Song Tianming turned his head to look at Old Master Song and cried out: "Dad... I beg you, for the sake of our father-son relationship, please plead with Master Ye for me, let Master Ye spare me! Otherwise, I might die at Mount Zhangbai, Dad!"

Old Master Song felt a faint, stabbing pain in his heart.

Ye Chen had said he would have them stay at Mount Zhangbai for twenty years. Song Tianming was already over 50 this year; going to that extremely underdeveloped and impoverished region of Mount Zhangbai, his body might not be able to hold out for 20 years.

It was very likely that before the 20-year term was up, he would already be dead at Mount Zhangbai.

So this glance now might be the last time the father and son would ever look at each other in this lifetime.

At this moment, Song Rongyu's legs went limp, and as he was being dragged out by people, he begged bitterly: "Grandpa... I am only in my twenties this year, I don't want to have the best years of my life imprisoned at Mount Zhangbai, please help me... Grandpa!"

Old Master Song's expression was one of struggle and conflict. At this moment, Ye Chen shouted sternly: "Plug their mouths for me!"

Several men in black immediately stuffed things into their mouths, making them unable to speak, and the scene instantly became much quieter.

Then, the three of them were all dragged out.

Seeing this, Old Master Song knew that there was no longer any possibility of a turnaround. He sighed deeply, as if he had suddenly aged more than ten years in an instant.

Ye Chen took in his performance, shook his head lightly, and said in a loud voice: "Old Master Song, you understand the principle of 'raising a tiger leads to disaster' better than I do. You must consider not only yourself but also Wanting. If the future trouble of these two is not eliminated, then one day in the future when you are gone, they will certainly be Wanting's greatest threat!"

Having said that, Ye Chen smiled slightly and continued: "As long as I, Ye Chen, am here, I will not let the two of them truly threaten Wanting. In other words, if these two sources of trouble are not removed, the next time they move against Wanting, I will definitely not let them off. So, strictly speaking, imprisoning them at Mount Zhangbai is not to protect Wanting, but to spare their lives. Otherwise, once they throw themselves into the fire like moths, they will surely be reduced to ashes!"

Old Master Song was stunned for a moment, then looked at Song Wanting, and hurriedly bowed to Ye Chen: "Master Ye, you are right! Let them fend for themselves at Mount Zhangbai!"

Having said that, Old Master Song looked at Song Wanting again and said: "Wanting, since you have returned now, the position of Chairman of the Song Group is naturally yours again. From now on, you will continue to preside over all the affairs of the Song Group!"

Song Wanting nodded respectfully: "Understood, Grandpa."

Old Master Song instructed: "Wanting, Grandpa doesn't ask you to lead the Song Group in reckless charges. As long as you can stabilize the current situation and keep the Song Group from going downhill, Grandpa will be very satisfied. So, don't go talking about any more cross-border cooperation in the future. I would rather the Song Group not expand into any overseas markets and not cooperate with any overseas companies than see you fall into a dangerous situation again, understand?"

Song Wanting nodded lightly and said: "Grandpa, rest assured, I will definitely take personal safety issues seriously in the future. In addition, regarding the cooperation with overseas companies, I think it can still proceed. There is no need to be overly cautious because of this incident."

As she spoke, she paused slightly and added: "This time, Master Ye helped me negotiate the cooperation with Nippon Steel. Nippon Steel's Chairman, Watanabe Shinwa, has already signed the cooperation agreement with me in Japan. The content of the agreement is that both sides will jointly build a factory, investing on a fifty-fifty basis, but Nippon Steel is willing to give 60% of the shares to our Song Group."

"What?!" As soon as these words were spoken, everyone at the scene was stunned, unable to say a word.

Nippon Steel had always been very aggressive in its external cooperation. They were even unwilling to give up 51% of the controlling interest, even if the Song Group gave 60% of the profits to Nippon Steel, Nippon Steel was still unwilling to give up the controlling interest.

Therefore, in the eyes of everyone at the scene, Nippon Steel was the toughest bone to chew.

Yet, Song Wanting said that Nippon Steel was now not only willing to give up the controlling interest but also willing to give up 10% of the shares for nothing to the Song Group. This was simply like a fool's dream!
