Chapter 2973

For Steve, the current situation could be described as suddenly clearing up.

The old man has suffered a major blow and had a stroke; no matter how well he recovers, there will inevitably be many sequelae, and more importantly, his spirit will inevitably be greatly affected. All of these will reduce the possibility of him continuing to lead the Rothschild family.

Therefore, he can now directly inherit the family if he advances, or manage all family affairs as the heir if he retreats, which can be considered as holding real power.

It is precisely because of this that he could not hear at all that Ye Chen's words were warning him and giving him a preventive shot. He even thought that Ye Chen was deliberately telling him not to be so optimistic, hoping that he could better control his emotions after returning to New York.

Consequently, for the first time, he felt moved by Ye Chen in a true sense.

Although this mandatory "partner" had always made him dissatisfied, he did not expect that the other party was actually thinking of him.

This made him suddenly feel in his heart: "If I kick him out immediately after I hold the power and turn against him, would it make me, Steve, seem unkind?"

In fact, little did he know that Ye Chen was not thinking of him at all.

Because Ye Chen knew that he absolutely could not let the old fox Howard Rothschild rest just like that.

The Blood-Dispersing Heart-Saving Pill had already been given to Helena, and he was still counting on relying on that pill to extract various benefits, and by the way, keep Steve in the position of the first heir.

So, he stood up, patted Steve on the shoulder, and smiled: "Steve, take your son and hurry back to see him. Helena originally wanted to chat with you about the cooperation between the two sides, but it seems there is no chance for now. However, don't worry. You go back to fulfill your filial piety before the bed first, and later let Helena go to New York in person. On one hand, she represents the Nordic royal family to visit the old man in person, and on the other hand, she also helps you win more attention in front of the old man. After all, she went to New York because she had a more agreeable chat with you, and the Queen visiting in person will also make you look better."

Steve was also cunning. He immediately understood the meaning of Ye Chen's words. This was to let Helena go to the family to fill the scene for him. After all, the old man really wanted to build some relationship with the Nordic royal family, borrowing the royal background of the Nordic royal family and Helena's popular folk popularity.

Hearing that Ye Chen could let Helena go to New York, Steve was truly moved in his heart.

He couldn't help but hold Ye Chen's hand and said seriously: "Mr. Ye, don't worry, I will always remember your words: if I become rich, I will not forget you! If I become the heir of the Rothschild family, the Ye family will definitely become our strategic partner!"

Ye Chen nodded with a gratified face: "With this heart of yours, it is not in vain that I helped you once!"

Steve nodded repeatedly and diligently, but the next second, he couldn't help but wonder: "Damn, who is helping whom in this matter? Hey, forget it, whoever helps whom, anyway, he successfully transported the Four-Directional Treasure Tower out, and I will soon successfully take over the power. Everyone cooperates for a win-win situation, which can be considered a successful business cooperation case."

So, he said with a face full of gratitude: "Mr. Ye, thank you for your help!"

Ye Chen smiled slightly: "Come on, I am optimistic about you."

In fact, Ye Chen did not doubt Steve's sincerity at this moment, but he also knew that this sincerity had more or less impulsive components in it.

This is like people who have had too much to drink; most of them will become more generous and easier to talk to than usual. Things promised to others while drunk, even if they don't go back on their word after sobering up, will likely be regretted.

Therefore, Ye Chen knew that his verbal promise could not be fully trusted, otherwise, he would be the passive one in the future.

After all, what he could truly and thoroughly manipulate Steve with was that he betrayed the interests of the Rothschild family and helped send the Four-Directional Treasure Tower out of New York and back to China.

However, to rely on this to manipulate him, the premise is that the old fox Howard must hold the power.

Once Steve, the crown prince, ascends the throne, if he tells Howard, the retired emperor, that his grandson was once rebellious and colluded with foreign enemies, Howard can only swallow his broken teeth into his stomach, otherwise his own son will not let him go.

Soon, Steve took his son, who had come to Canada first, and returned to New York by helicopter together.

On his way back to New York, in the emergency room of the Rothschild family, Howard's vital signs were considered stable.

However, stable is stable, but the old man's nervous system was still greatly affected.

The most serious thing was that his right side of the body almost lost nerve sensation. Except for his right hand, right foot, right leg, and right arm, the facial muscles and tongue muscles on the right side were also affected significantly, appearing with a visibly crooked mouth and slanted eyes.

This also meant that his pronunciation and articulation would also be affected.

This is standard hemiplegia.

Fortunately, Howard's brain was not too affected, and his thinking ability remained normal.

After he regained consciousness, the stroke expert comforted him: "Mr. Rothschild, your body is now out of life danger, but you currently have some symptoms of hemiplegia. However, you don't need to worry too much. We have the best rehabilitation medical system in the world. As long as you can actively participate in rehabilitation training, I believe you will be able to restore your ability to move independently in the near future."

Howard's mood was still a bit extreme, and he cursed with trembling teeth: "Bastard... bastard! Call... call my best... best legal team over... I... I want to sue... sue China... want... want back our Four... Four-Directional... Four-Directional Treasure Tower!"

Seeing his blood pressure soar again in an instant, the doctor hurriedly comforted him: "Mr. Rothschild, the most taboo thing for you now is extreme emotions. If your cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems have problems, the situation will only become more serious, and may even endanger your life. I suggest that you must let go of all the things you couldn't let go of before. No matter how much loss you suffered before, you must warn yourself in your heart at all times that saving your life is important, and you must never let this loss continue to expand, especially to your own body. Judging from your symptoms just now, if it were an ordinary person, if the treatment time was delayed by a few minutes, the person might be gone."

As he spoke, the doctor added seriously: "Mr. Rothschild, you already have endless money, but you don't have endless life! In the face of life, everything else is floating clouds! A Chinese comedian said it well: the greatest tragedy in life is that a person dies, but the money hasn't been spent. Think about it yourself, is this the truth?"

Howard did not expect the doctor to speak so directly and so harshly. His first reaction was to instinctively want to get angry and lose his temper, but immediately after, he subconsciously pondered the words the doctor just said.

Losing his temper is simple, but with his current physical condition, losing his temper and killing himself might be even simpler...

He has enjoyed wealth and glory all his life, so he naturally knows that life is the most precious thing in this world.

Although the Four-Directional Treasure Tower concerns the future fortune and destiny of the entire Rothschild family, if he dies, what if the Rothschild family rules the world and dominates the universe in the future?

But taking a step back, if he can survive and live a little longer, what if the Rothschild family declines a little?

Even if the Rothschild family declines by 90% in his hands, and the assets shrink from the scale of tens of trillions or even 100 trillion US dollars to the scale of hundreds of billions of US dollars, so what? Doesn't he still have endless money to spend? Doesn't he still have endless blessings to enjoy?
