Chapter 1649: Three conditions!

Ye Changkong felt his whole body tremble as he was stared at intensely by the Old Master. He hurriedly said, "Dad... I just feel that... in all things... nothing is more important than personal safety..."

As he spoke, Ye Changkong continued to lobby, "Besides, our Ye family's assets are worth more than a trillion. Even if we take out half, what remains is enough for us to live a life of luxury and worry-free comfort for a lifetime. After all, money is something you can't bring with you when you're born, and you can't take it with you when you die. It's meaningless to have so much..."

"Moreover, our Ye family might be able to make a comeback in the future, either in my hands or in Xiaofeng's. When that time comes, we can earn back what we lost today!"

Ye Zhongquan stared at him and asked coldly, "Make a comeback? Based on you? Or based on the two of you?"

Ye Changkong said with extreme embarrassment, "Yes... my ability is indeed not very good. Let me take a step back—even if we can't make a comeback, so what? Even if we just sit around and eat through our savings, this much money is enough for us to live on for several lifetimes!"

Ye Changkong became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke, gesturing as he persuaded, "If you are worried that future descendants won't be up to the task, we can completely take another half from the remaining assets to establish a closed-end family trust fund!"

"With a trust fund of several hundred billion, the annual revenue would be at least ten or twenty billion RMB. As long as you set the rules so that future descendants can only take the net profit from the trust fund and are not allowed to touch the principal, then our descendants, even if they can't make the Ye family make a comeback, can at least live a life of great wealth and nobility!"

"In this way, we can ensure that our Ye family's bloodline continues, and we never have to worry about future descendants bankrupting the Ye family..."

"Looking at it this way, isn't it quite good? Don't you all agree?"

Except for Ye Chen and Helena, everyone else nodded one after another.

For this group of people, no one wanted their personal safety to bear even the slightest risk.

Being alive was the most important thing to them.

In the face of staying alive, what did earning a little less money matter? Even if they handed over ninety percent of the Ye family's assets, they would still have two hundred billion, which would be enough to get by if they tightened their belts.

Seeing that the other Ye family members also showed approval, Ye Changkong knew that his plan had a basic foundation of support.

Therefore, he said to Ye Zhongquan, "Dad! I think you should just agree to the Cataclysmic Front's demands!"

"That's right!" The third son, Ye Changyun, also hurriedly said, "Dad, Big Brother is right. It's better to live a wretched life than to die well. We must think about the Ye family's bloodline and incense!"

Ye Zhangmin also hurriedly nodded and said, "Dad! You should just agree to their conditions. If Mount Ye Ling is gone, it can be rebuilt; if money is gone, it can be earned back. Nothing is more important than the family being safe and sound. Don't you think so?"

Except for Ye Chen's little aunt, Ye Changxiu, who had not spoken, almost everyone else had clearly expressed their agreement to accept the Cataclysmic Front's demands.

Ye Chen had not spoken the whole time, but instead looked at Ye Changkong and the other Ye family members with a cold expression.

At this moment, he was extremely disappointed in the integrity and backbone of the Ye family members.

Not just disappointed, but even somewhat angry.

Because these people who wanted to accept the other party's conditions didn't take the other party's demand to keep his parents' coffins seriously at all.

They only wanted to save their own lives.

Moreover, in their view, only money was worth feeling pain over; everything else was unimportant.

At this time, seeing so many of his children defect, Ye Zhongquan felt a sharp pain in his heart.

He didn't expect that among all his children, not a single one could put family dignity first.

All they thought about was saving their own lives.

This made him feel incomparably sad.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but rebuke with a face full of pain, "You are all persuading me to agree, but have you ever thought that they want Changying's coffin!! Changying is your own brother. How can you hand his coffin over to others and let them trample on it!! If it really comes to that, even if you can survive for a few more years or decades, what face will you have to see Changying after you die?!"

Lu Haotian took a puff of his cigar, then yawned again and said with a smile, "Oh my, the Old Master has a good eye. What our Hall Master wants is to grind Ye Changying's bones to dust!"

Hearing this, Ye Chen had a strong urge to twist Lu Haotian's dog head right off his neck!

However, he still suppressed the urge in his heart, while warning himself: "Stay calm, must stay calm! If you can't bear small things, you will spoil the big plan! If I make a move against Lu Haotian today, that Wan Pojun will absolutely not bring his parents' coffins to Mount Ye Ling tomorrow morning!"

At this time, Ye Zhangmin lowered her head in embarrassment as soon as she heard Lu Haotian's words.

But Ye Changkong said with a serious face, "Dad! Changying is already dead! As the saying goes, when a person dies, the lamp goes out. Apart from a coffin and a tombstone, there is nothing left. But we are still alive! We are all flesh and blood; shouldn't we think about the people who are still alive?!"

Ye Feng also spoke up, "That's right, Grandpa! This matter was caused by my Second Uncle. Now that people have come for revenge, there's no reason for us to take the blame for him!"

After finishing, he became even more indignant, looking at Ye Chen, and said through gritted teeth, "Even if someone really has to take the blame, it should be Ye Chen. After all, he is my Second Uncle's..."

Before Ye Feng could finish speaking, Ye Zhongquan angrily raised his hand and slapped him, shouting, "You bastard! Shut your mouth!"

After finishing, he said with a look of hatred for his failure to meet expectations, "You are all cowards who fear death! If my son Changying were still here, he would never have been as spineless as you!"

Saying this, two lines of hot tears rolled down Ye Zhongquan's face.

At this moment, he was completely disappointed in his children and grandchildren.

Ye Feng had just deliberately tried to expose Ye Chen's identity as Ye Changying's biological son to lead the Cataclysmic Front to shift their hatred, but he didn't expect to be slapped hard by the Old Master before he could finish.

He felt resentful in his heart and almost blurted out Ye Chen's identity, but his father, Ye Changkong, glared at him from the side and shouted sternly, "You rebellious son! Shut your mouth!"

Ye Changkong knew very well that even if they sold Ye Chen out in public at this time, the Cataclysmic Front would not let the other Ye family members go because of it.

But it would very likely completely enrage the Old Master.

Don't look at the fact that the Old Master has already refused the other party; the only way out is still in the Old Master's hands.

If the Old Master thinks it through and grits his teeth to agree to the Cataclysmic Front's conditions, then after the storm passes, the Old Master, as the head of the Ye family, will still control half of the Ye family's assets.

But at that time, Ye Feng, who had betrayed Ye Chen, would never be trusted by the Old Master again, and even he himself would be implicated.

Therefore, he didn't want his son to cut off his own path at this time.

Ye Feng was reprimanded by his father and immediately dared not say anything more.

Ye Zhongquan didn't even bother to look at him at this time. He turned to look at Ye Chen and asked, "Chen'er... in this situation, what do you think should be done?" ===== CHAPTER 1650 =====
