Chapter 1635: Inherit your father

Gu Yanzhong's words left Ye Chen's heart unable to calm down for a long time.

Thinking of how his father left Yanjing with such unwillingness and disappointment, feeling unappreciated, and finally dying in a foreign land, Ye Chen's heart felt as if it were being twisted by a knife.

Previously, he didn't want to have too much involvement with the Ye family because he knew that his father's relationship with the Ye family had ended very bitterly, and the Ye family even had to bear some responsibility for his parents' deaths.

Precisely because of this, he had always avoided the Ye family, trying his best not to get entangled with them.

But Gu Yanzhong's words made him understand that his father had actually always been unwilling to accept things as they were in the Ye family!

Because, back then, it was the Ye family that had failed him! Failed his burning passion! Failed his bright youth!

Just as Gu Yanzhong said, his father died with hatred. As his only son, he not only had to seek justice for him but should also carry his banner and inherit his legacy!

Only in this way could he truly comfort his spirit in heaven!

Otherwise, no matter how strong or wealthy he became, if he couldn't inherit his legacy on this point, he would ultimately be unable to make up for his father's huge regret before he died!

Thinking of this, Ye Chen silently filled his glass with white liquor, held it up with both hands, and said to Gu Yanzhong with great solemnity: "Uncle Gu, thank you for your enlightenment! I will definitely inherit my father's legacy, become the head of the Ye family, and let the Ye family stand at the pinnacle of the world!"

Speaking of this, his expression turned somewhat cold as he said: "Before achieving the ultimate goal, I want the entire Ye family to submit to me! I want the entire Ye family to follow my footsteps obediently! No one shall ever leave my father alone on the mountainside like they did twenty years ago!"

"Good!" Gu Yanzhong was extremely excited, shouted loudly, and stood up: "Chen'er! No matter when, remember that you are Ye Changying's son! You must carry your father's banner, stand at the highest point of this world, and let all the top families submit to you! Let the Ye family, the Su family, and the Rothschild family all kneel before you and honor you as supreme!"

Speaking of this, he looked up to the sky and sighed: "I hope that in my lifetime, I can see this moment arrive with my own eyes! That way, I, Gu Yanzhong, can take this news to see your father and mother. At that time, I will have no regrets in this life! I will be able to die with a smile!!!"

In Yanjing this night, many people were plagued by insomnia.

Ye Chen lay on the bed in the Gu family's guest room, thinking about how to become the head of the Ye family and how to let the Ye family stand at the pinnacle of the world.

At the same time, he thought of the Wanlong Palace master who had yet to appear, Wan Pojun.

He knew that Wan Pojun's target was this Ye family Ancestor Worship Ceremony.

Therefore, he speculated in his heart that tomorrow, or at the latest the day after, Wan Pojun would move from behind the scenes to the front.

Wan Pojun would definitely appear with the power he believed was enough to crush the Ye family. This was a disaster for the Ye family, but for him, it was an opportunity!

People say that without breaking, there is no establishing.

Under the leadership of Old Master Ye for so many years, the Ye family's development was very stable. If he were to return for no reason and seize his power, he would definitely become a rebellious son in everyone's eyes.

Therefore, to seize the Old Master's power, he must have a legitimate reason.

And Wan Pojun was the best opportunity!

Thinking of this, Ye Chen pondered in his heart: "Let Wan Pojun take the stage first and perform well. When he has left the Ye family in shambles and teetering on the brink of collapse, that will be the day I, Ye Chen, take over the Ye family's power!"

At the same time, Wan Pojun, who was also in Yanjing, was likewise unable to sleep for a long time.

Just past twelve o'clock in the morning, he personally tore off yesterday's calendar, looked at the four characters "April 4th," and was lost in thought for a long time.

The failure of Chen Zhonglei and more than ten thousand Wanlong Palace soldiers in Syria certainly made him angry and pained, but as April 5th drew closer, he no longer thought about Chen Zhonglei's life or death, or the blow that failure had brought to the Wanlong Palace.

Now, he only thought about avenging his parents and letting them rest in peace.

On this point, Wan Pojun was the same as Ye Chen; both were filial sons, both carried deep hatred for their parents, and both had the determination to overturn everything and reclaim everything.

At this moment, Wan Pojun stepped out of the room, stood in the courtyard, and looked at the dozens of cheap coffins in the yard, his eyes full of murderous intent.

Just then, his capable subordinate Lu Haotian walked up to him and asked: "Palace Master, why haven't you rested yet?"

"Can't sleep." Wan Pojun muttered, feeling unwilling to accept things as they were: "If only that Ye Changying were still alive. I would definitely cut off his head with my own hands before my parents' grave to comfort their spirits in heaven!"

Lu Haotian hurriedly said: "Palace Master, you don't need to think that way. If that Ye Changying had lived until now, wouldn't he have lived twenty more years? That would have been truly letting him off easy!"

As he spoke, Lu Haotian added: "And Palace Master, according to my investigation, Ye Changying's death back then was very tragic. It is said that when the car crashed, his internal organs were all ruptured by the steering wheel, and his wife was even more miserable, trapped in the passenger seat and unable to escape, burned to death alive."

"Hmm..." Wan Pojun nodded gently and said indifferently: "Thinking that they died so miserably, I feel a little better."

Lu Haotian said: "Palace Master, if you feel unhappy, I will take people to carry these coffins to the Ye family right now!"

Wan Pojun waved his hand and said: "Doing this kind of thing in broad daylight is more shocking to everyone. Tomorrow, I will not only make the Ye family realize that disaster is imminent, but also let all the families in Yanjing know that the son of Wan Liancheng from back then has returned!"

After speaking, he stared at those coffins, showing a look of disdain, and sneered: "Tonight, let the Ye family have one last good night's sleep. Tomorrow morning at ten o'clock sharp, carry all these coffins to the Ye family!"

"As you command, Palace Master!"

The next day, Ye Chen got up from bed very early.

Today was the plenary meeting before the Ye family's Ancestor Worship Ceremony, and all Ye family members, including the collateral branches from outside, would attend.

If it were yesterday, Ye Chen would have felt it didn't matter; as long as he arrived, it wouldn't be a big deal whether he was early or late.

But today, for him, the meaning of all this had undergone a earth-shaking change.

If he wanted to become the head of the Ye family, today was exceptionally important for Ye Chen.

Because today was his first official return after leaving the Ye family twenty years ago.

Therefore, today was very important to him.

Gu Yanzhong and Lin Wanqiu got up even earlier.

Seeing Ye Chen come out of the guest room dressed properly, and still wearing jeans and a T-shirt, Lin Wanqiu hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Chen'er, didn't you bring a suit when you came this time?"

Ye Chen hurriedly said: "Auntie Lin, Butler Tang told me before that the clothing for the Ancestor Worship Ceremony is custom-made by the Ye family, so I didn't bring any myself."

Lin Wanqiu nodded and said very seriously: "Today is your first time returning to the Ye family. The first impression you leave on them is very important. You can't dress too casually and let others look down on you!"

As she spoke, she pulled Ye Chen and smiled: "Auntie specially found someone to custom-make a suit for you a few days ago. Come and try it on to see if it fits!"
