Chapter 1472

Su Chengfeng had originally thought that Mai Chengxing might have foreseen the danger in advance and escaped, but he never dreamed that the person calling would be the very mysterious person he had been painstakingly searching for!

Wanting to find the other party and kill them is one thing, but being suddenly known by them and receiving a phone call from them is quite another.

At this moment, Su Chengfeng asked with extreme nervousness, "What... what are your intentions?"

Ye Chen laughed, "What are my intentions? I saved your own grandson and granddaughter, and I also saved your daughter-in-law; I can definitely be considered a benefactor to your Su family. What bad intentions could I have? It's nothing more than having long admired your great name, Old Master Su, and wanting to find an opportunity to drink and discuss the Dao with you."

"You..." Su Chengfeng was panicked to the extreme and couldn't help but ask, "I have never met you, and we have no grudges; what exactly will it take for you to let it go?"

Ye Chen laughed, "Old Master Su, letting it go is impossible. I called not to negotiate peace, but to tell you that before today, you were the one taking the initiative to oppose me, racking your brains to find me."

"But after today, the rules of the game have changed!"

"Now, it's my turn to find you!"

"I hope you hide well in Su Hang and don't get found by me too easily, because if that happens, the game won't be interesting."

After saying this, Ye Chen hung up the phone directly and then turned off Mai Chengxing's phone again.

Just as Ye Chen turned off the phone, Su Su Zhiyu, who was on the side, was already too shocked to speak.

Chen Zekai couldn't help but ask, "Young Master, are you planning to take the initiative and go settle scores with Su Chengfeng?"

"How is that possible..." Ye Chen smiled and said playfully, "If I go to settle scores with Su Chengfeng now, wouldn't that just benefit his remaining children and the Ye family for nothing?"

As he spoke, Ye Chen added, "If I kill Su Chengfeng now, I won't get any substantial benefits, but instead, I'll be fulfilling those Su family members who have been dreaming of splitting up the family. The Ye family would also be able to sit back and reap the rewards, while I get nothing. I wouldn't be stupid enough to do such a thing."

Chen Zekai asked in confusion, "Then why did you say that to Su Chengfeng just now?"

Ye Chen laughed and said, "Just to scare him. This old dog has been manipulating puppets behind the scenes all day long. When something goes wrong with the puppets, he thinks cutting the strings will shield him from risk. Such good times no longer exist from now on."

As he spoke, Ye Chen smiled playfully, "Do you believe me? This old guy is likely already scared out of his wits."

"I believe it!" Chen Zekai laughed, "Xuan Fengnian and Mai Chengxing have both disappeared, and you said you would take the initiative; he must be scared to death!"

Ye Chen laughed, "I called him just to knock him down a peg and put some pressure on him."

Chen Zekai nodded and laughed, "I estimate he will tuck his tail and flee Su Hang today."

Ye Chen said calmly, "I think his biggest problem now is that he doesn't know where to flee. If he stays in the country, it will be easy to find him anywhere. Although going abroad to avoid the limelight is safer, he absolutely wouldn't dare to leave."

Chen Zekai asked in confusion, "Why?"

Ye Chen asked him back, "If you were an emperor in ancient times, would you dare to leave your own country?"

Chen Zekai immediately understood the meaning behind Ye Chen's words and said with a sudden realization, "Young Master, I understand what you mean. There must be many people eyeing Su Chengfeng's position as head of the family. In the current situation, Su Chengfeng absolutely wouldn't dare to leave China."

"Right," Ye Chen nodded and said with a smile, "Su Chengfeng seems to have five sons. The eldest and second are in my hands, and there are three left. These three must all be hoping to inherit the throne."

As he spoke, Ye Chen added, "Originally, these three might not have had such thoughts, but with the successive disappearances of the eldest and second, it must have created an illusion in each of their hearts that they also have a chance to inherit the throne. This isn't even counting Su Chengfeng's grandchildren; the younger generation must also be hoping to hold the power of the Su family alone."

"Therefore, unless it's a last resort, Su Chengfeng will absolutely not leave China, because once he leaves, he might never be able to return in this lifetime."

In ancient royal families, many members were permanently exiled; the reason was that the person in power did not want this person to return and threaten their rule.

Even in modern times, there have been successive incidents of usurpation abroad, usually where the president goes abroad for a visit, and a coup is launched at home, while strictly guarding against the former president returning to the country.

Consequently, the former president can only live in exile abroad.

Therefore, the day Su Chengfeng leaves China will inevitably be the beginning of his deposition!

Su Su Zhiyu had been silent, watching Ye Chen from the side for a long time, before she asked, "Benefactor, did you make this call to my grandfather to force him to come and beg me for help?"

"That's right," Ye Chen nodded and said with a smile, "Your grandfather must feel particularly insecure right now. He has no powerful experts protecting him by his side. Whether in Su Hang, Yan Jing, or any other city in the country, it is difficult to guarantee his own safety. And since he has been holding onto the Su family's power and is unwilling to let go, he is even more afraid to go abroad. The only choice is to negotiate."

After a pause, Ye Chen shook the phone in his hand that was already turned off and laughed, "But I already said the harsh words just now, and this phone is already turned off. If he wants to negotiate, he won't be able to find any contact information for me at all. The only way is to find you."

As he spoke, Ye Chen added, "If he really comes to you to negotiate, then you should readily agree to him, but you must not make your words too absolute. Just tell him you will definitely try your best, but you are not sure you can persuade me."

Su Su Zhiyu hesitated for a moment and asked him, "Benefactor, are you worried that after we cooperate on ocean shipping, he will come forward to obstruct it?"

"That's right," Ye Chen said seriously, "The Su family's ocean shipping business normally has a market value of at least 300 to 400 billion RMB. Even if it is facing difficulties now, the actual total of fixed assets is at least 200 billion. Your grandfather handed such a big cake to you, hoping only that you would keep it for him, not that you would pick up a knife and fork and start eating it directly."

"Once you use the entire Ocean Shipping Group to cooperate with me, in his eyes, this is equivalent to selling the family's ancestral land, which absolutely touches his reverse scale. He will definitely do his best to stop it, and may even turn against you again."

Speaking of this, Ye Chen changed the subject and said with a smile, "But you can rest assured; after you promise him that you will plead for him, you don't have to worry about him turning against you."

"Because I don't have the time to deal with him for the time being. Threatening him on the phone that I was going to find him was just a feint."

"Therefore, he is still safe in the short term; at the very least, I won't move against him."

"And he will definitely attribute this safety to you, feeling that it is entirely because of your help."

"By then, he will see you as his amulet; how would he dare to obstruct you from taking out the Su family's Ocean Shipping Group and reorganizing it with me?"
