Chapter 2554

"Ye Chen conquered the Su family and the Wanlong Palace?!"

Hearing this, Sun Zhidong was shocked and said: "Young lady... this... this is a bit exaggerated... The Su family's strength was originally stronger than the Ye family's, and the Wanlong Palace's strength cannot be measured by money. They have tens of thousands of mercenaries under their command, and it is said that they have already built their own permanent base in the Middle East. How could such an organization be conquered by Ye Chen?"

Lin Wan'er said lightly: "Ye Chen's strength is far from what the Wanlong Palace can compare to. Otherwise, when the Su family and the Wanlong Palace went up to Mount Ye Ling together, they would not have left Ye Chen any way to survive. Although we don't know what happened on Mount Ye Ling that day, judging from the results, Ye Chen was not affected at all. This is enough to prove that the Su family and the Wanlong Palace failed completely on Mount Ye Ling that day."

After a pause, Lin Wan'er said again: "I just said that the enemy in Ye Chen's eyes is the Poqing Society. He has the same irreconcilable hatred for the Poqing Society as I do, but he is much stronger than me. I am still hiding and running for my life in the pursuit of the Poqing Society, but he has already launched a real attack on the Poqing Society in the dark. Just from this point, how could the mere Wanlong Palace stop him? If he wanted to, he could have directly killed the number one figure of the Wanlong Palace on Mount Ye Ling!"

Sun Zhidong pondered for a moment, frowned and said: "In this way, the rumor that the Ye family ceded half of its assets to the Wanlong Palace is actually a smoke bomb released by the Ye family to the outside world!"

Lin Wan'er nodded and said seriously: "To be precise, it should be a smoke bomb released by Ye Chen to the outside world!"

After saying that, Lin Wan'er suddenly remembered something and asked the two: "By the way, after Mount Ye Ling, did the Su family and the Wanlong Palace have any special news or changes?"

"Changes?" The two looked at each other, and Qiu Yingshan said: "I don't know much about the Su family's situation, but I have heard of the Wanlong Palace. Their situation in Syria suddenly became very active, and they soon joined forces with Yisu Shipping to monopolize the armed escort in the Gulf of Aden. Moreover, they completely wiped out a pirate organization before, which immediately scared the pirates in the Gulf of Aden. Since then, no pirates have dared to approach any merchant ship escorted by the Wanlong Palace!"

Lin Wan'er nodded: "This transformation is quite beautiful. I think there should be an expert pointing it out behind the scenes."

Sun Zhidong thought for a while and said: "It's also strange to say. After the news came out that the Su family and the Wanlong Palace won a great victory on Mount Ye Ling, the Su family became much more low-key. Some people say they are making a fortune in silence, but I have always felt that they were very high-profile before they went up to Mount Ye Ling. There is no reason to do anything to make a fortune in silence after winning. Isn't that the same as covering one's ears and stealing a bell? So I have always been quite surprised by this matter. Later, the Su family quickly replaced the head of the family. The previous head of the family, Su Chengfeng, retired and passed the position of head of the family to his 24-year-old eldest granddaughter, Su Zhiyu."

"Passed to the eldest granddaughter?" Lin Wan'er said with a puzzled expression: "Why choose a grandchild to inherit the position of head of the family directly? Shouldn't there be a son to transition in between?"

As she spoke, Lin Wan'er asked Sun Zhidong: "Could it be that the Su family has few descendants?"

Sun Zhidong hurriedly said: "Back to the young lady, on the contrary, the Su family has seven sons, whose names are Morality, Virtue, Benevolence, Righteousness, Propriety, Wisdom, and Faith. Among them, five sons and two daughters are in their prime, and there are even more grandchildren..."

"Strange..." Lin Wan'er frowned and said: "Since there are five sons, why pass the position of head of the family directly to the eldest granddaughter? Not to mention that the eldest granddaughter is a woman, just saying that he skipped the son generation and chose the grandchild generation to succeed directly is very easy to cause dissatisfaction among the five sons. Even the biological father of that Su Zhiyu would never be willing to accept the fact of being directly skipped."

Speaking of this, Lin Wan'er said again: "In the past, Emperor Chengzu of Ming attached great importance to his grandson, Emperor Xuanzong of Ming. But even so, Chengzu did not pass the throne directly to Xuanzong, but passed it to Renzong to transition. Even if this Su Chengfeng really valued Su Zhiyu, he should have passed it to Su Zhiyu's father first, and then let her father pass it to her. In this way, he could also consolidate Su Zhiyu's foundation. Otherwise, with a father and four uncles and two aunts on top, she, a girl, directly ascended to the position. How can she suppress it? Even if Su Chengfeng is supporting her behind the scenes at all times, it is very difficult for Su Zhiyu to truly control the Su family."

Sun Zhidong remembered something and said: "By the way, young lady, after Su Chengfeng passed the position of head of the family to Su Zhiyu, he had already retired. It is said that he went to Africa to enjoy life."

Lin Wan'er's brows frowned tighter: "He helped Su Zhiyu onto a fierce horse, and without personally taking her for a ride and helping her tame the fierce horse, he retired directly?! If he does this, even if this Su Zhiyu has great ability, it is impossible to suppress it!"

Sun Zhidong shrugged: "However, Su Zhiyu's position as head of the family is very stable. After taking over, she did many big things one after another. Cooperating with the Ito family in Japan to establish Yisu Shipping was her handwriting."

Lin Wan'er said seriously: "From the perspective of human nature, Su Zhiyu inherited the position of head of the family. Her father, her uncles, and aunts could not possibly obey her. And Su Chengfeng did not stay by her side to help her suppress the situation. Logically speaking, this is like a balance. This end is Su Zhiyu herself, and that end is her seven elders. The end that the balance presses down must be her seven elders. Su Zhiyu's control over the family will inevitably be eroded and emptied. But you said she sits steadily, then there is only one possibility..."

Speaking of this, Lin Wan'er raised her voice a bit and said firmly: "Behind Su Zhiyu, there must be a more powerful person to help her suppress the situation. It is still the balance I just mentioned. That person stands behind Su Zhiyu and can firmly suppress Su Zhiyu's side, making her seven elders unable to move!"

Sun Zhidong exclaimed: "Young lady, according to your analysis, that person must be Ye Chen!"

"Yes." Lin Wan'er nodded and said: "In this way, all the logic is smooth. Ye Chen conquered the Su family on Mount Ye Ling and even designated the new head of the Su family. Even if Su Chengfeng had ten thousand reluctances, he could only leave China in a gray way. And even if his seven children were unwilling, they could only accept it obediently and dare not have any disobedience to Su Zhiyu!"

After saying that, Lin Wan'er couldn't help but marvel: "In the battle of Mount Ye Ling, Ye Chen clearly won, but he had to say it was a loss to the outside world, and he had to say it was a tragic defeat with more than half of the family assets lost. This move by Ye Chen is really wonderful!"

Sun Zhidong agreed and said: "Since that day, many families no longer put the Ye family in their eyes, feeling that they have become the end of their strength. I once felt sorry for this for a long time, but now it seems that this should be Ye Chen's intention!"

Lin Wan'er nodded and said: "Since it was Ye Chen who won on Mount Ye Ling that day, the Su family and the Wanlong Palace must bow down to Ye Chen. Needless to say, the Wanlong Palace is likely to have pledged allegiance to Ye Chen now. As for the Su family, if the head of the family is still Su Chengfeng, I am afraid they will have to take out more than half of the family assets to beg Ye Chen to raise his hand. But the Su family happened to change a girl to be the head of the family..."

Speaking of this, Lin Wan'er couldn't help but sigh and muttered: "Could it be another romantic debt?"
