Chapter 2249: Seeking an explanation for three things

"Misunderstanding?"

Ye Chen sneered and said: "All of Hong Kong knows about this matter. Even Hong Yuanshan and that Master Lin are eyeing the thirty-million-dollar bounty you put out. You are telling me now that it's a misunderstanding. Do you think I will believe you?"

Liu Jiahui was extremely nervous at this moment. He only had one thought in his heart, and that was that he must not admit that he wanted to buy Chen Zhaozhong's life, no matter what.

He had seen Ye Chen's methods; when he was ruthless, he would never show mercy.

So, he could only grit his teeth and say: "Mr. Ye, I am truly wronged! This matter is all hearsay in the underworld. Many people only know how to spread rumors randomly and are completely irresponsible..."

Ye Chen looked at him, nodded slightly, and said: "Since you don't admit it, then I will find someone to confront you on the spot. What do you think of Hong Yuanshan? Do you want me to call him over?"

When Liu Jiahui heard that Ye Chen wanted to find Hong Yuanshan, he was even more scared out of his wits.

He knew exactly what kind of person Hong Yuanshan was! Not to mention anything else, he had seen the process of Hong Yuanshan beating Yang Tiansheng that morning very clearly.

He knew that Hong Yuanshan now regarded Ye Chen as the Heavenly King and Father, and only thought about making Ye Chen satisfied in everything he did. If he really called him over, he would definitely bite him to death without hesitation. If he still acted tough at that time, he was afraid he would attack him on the spot.

Thinking of this, Liu Jiahui hurriedly said: "Mr. Ye... this... this might be a misunderstanding in communication... I did tell the people around me before that I was dissatisfied with Zhong and wished I could have his life, but I never thought about really wanting his life..."

Ye Chen saw that he refused to admit it, so he said coldly: "Liu Jiahui, do you think I flew thousands of miles from the United States to have a debate with you? I have known the truth of the matter for a long time. Even if you don't admit it, so what? And don't forget, you promised my father back then that you would no longer hold a grudge about the matter between Uncle Zhong and Ms. Fang, but what did you do later? Why did Uncle Gu Yanzhong fly to Hong Kong specifically to find you again? Wasn't it because you turned your back on your word immediately after my father passed away, violating the promise you made back then?!"

Having said this, Ye Chen's voice raised a few decibels, and he sternly rebuked: "You clearly promised my father, but immediately went back on your word after my father passed away. Do you think I will forgive you for this kind of thing? Do you think no one would come to settle this account with you after more than twenty years?!"

When Liu Jiahui heard this, he was scared out of his wits. He knew that even if he could quibble about Chen Zhaozhong's matter, he couldn't give a reasonable explanation for violating the agreement he had made with Ye Changying.

It was he who had gone back on his word first, and Gu Yanzhong had come to plead for Chen Zhaozhong again. This cause-and-effect relationship had been set in stone twenty years ago, and he had no way to refute it even if he wanted to.

In panic, Liu Jiahui's legs went soft, and he knelt on the ground with a thud, choking up: "Mr. Ye, the matter back then was indeed my going back on my word... I was possessed by a ghost back then. Please forgive me this once, considering that I also had my reasons back then..."

After saying this, he looked at Chen Zhaozhong and blurted out: "Zhong, please say a good word for me to Mr. Ye. From now on, we two will let bygones be bygones. You will be my, Liu Jiahui's, own brother from now on. If I, Liu Jiahui, ever have the thought of killing you again, you can let Mr. Ye tear me into pieces!"

Fang Jiaxin, who was on the side, was also panicked at this time and hurriedly begged: "Zhong... I have been married to Jiahui for more than ten years, and we even have a son. Please help him plead with Mr. Ye, considering the feelings of so many years..."

As she spoke, Fang Jiaxin's eyes turned red, and big tears rolled down.

Chen Zhaozhong also felt a bit unbearable at this time, so he looked at Ye Chen and pleaded: "Young Master Ye... the matter back then... I was also at fault... so..."

Ye Chen raised a hand to interrupt him and said earnestly: "Uncle Zhong, I am now seeking an explanation for my father. I think that any upright person would keep the promises they made to others, even if the other party has already passed away!"

Having said this, Ye Chen looked at Liu Jiahui and said coldly: "Although my father is no longer here, as his son, what he owes others, I will pay back for him, and what others owe him, I will also seek back for him!"

Liu Jiahui was trembling violently when he heard this.

The reason he didn't take the agreement he reached with Ye Changying seriously back then was mainly because he felt that Ye Changying and his wife An Chengxi had been abandoned by the Ye family and the An family; otherwise, these two families couldn't have sat by and watched them meet their deaths.

It was precisely because of this that he didn't take that promise seriously at all in his heart.

Many people seem to value their word as gold, but in reality, they all judge people by their status. They value their word as gold in front of people they can't afford to offend, but in front of people they consider irrelevant, they are completely shameless.

Liu Jiahui was this kind of person in his bones.

He had a very classic motto: never make useless friends.

Once this person was of no use to him, even if it was a childhood friend who grew up together, he wouldn't think much of them.

But once this person was useful to him, even if it was his father's killer, he would find a way to build a relationship with them.

It was precisely because of this profit-seeking personality that he immediately took back the promise he had made to Ye Changying after Ye Changying passed away.

Liu Jiahui had always been proud of this principle of conduct, feeling that he was the truly clear-headed one in the world, but he never dreamed that he would stumble over this today.

So, he begged in extreme panic: "Mr. Ye, it was indeed my being possessed by a ghost back then and not fulfilling the agreement I reached with your father. I really know I was wrong. Please give me a chance to turn over a new leaf!"

Ye Chen looked at him and asked indifferently: "How do you plan to turn over a new leaf?"

Liu Jiahui blurted out without hesitation: "Back then, I promised your father that I would no longer pursue Zhong's actions back then. I know I was wrong now and will correct it. I continue to promise you that I will never make things difficult for Zhong because of this matter again..."

Ye Chen sneered: "Mr. Liu, I came to Hong Kong to seek an explanation for three things. The first thing is that you promised my father more than twenty years ago, and now that I have found you, you tell me you know you were wrong and will correct it. Then how do you give my father an explanation for the mistakes of the past twenty-plus years?"

As he spoke, Ye Chen added: "The second thing is that Uncle Zhong was also a top-tier talent in the financial field back then. Because you, Liu Jiahui, went back on your word, he could only run to the United States and sell roast goose in Chinatown for twenty years. How do you give him an explanation for his twenty years of youth and twenty years of life?"

Immediately, Ye Chen continued: "And the third thing! For these twenty years, Uncle Zhong couldn't return to Hong Kong to reunite with his family, couldn't fulfill his filial piety by his parents' side, and couldn't even return to mourn his father's death. For these twenty years of broken homes and separation, how do you give them an explanation?!" ===== CHAPTER 2250 =====
