Chapter 3027

"Looking for someone?"

Hearing Steve's explanation, Ye Chen raised an eyebrow and asked with a curious, half-smile: "What kind of person requires a crown prince like you, whose wealth rivals a nation, to personally make a trip to China? Could it be that you're looking for a little young master of your Rothschild family who was lost abroad?"

Steve chuckled and said: "Mr. Ye, you're joking. Our Rothschild family values bloodline above all else; how could there possibly be any bloodline lost abroad?"

As he spoke, he deliberately lowered his voice and said earnestly: "Mr. Ye, you must have heard that when the President of the United States goes out, even a single hair he drops or a mouthful of saliva he spits must be taken away by a designated person. It is the same for the little tadpoles of the men in our Rothschild family; where they are used and with whom they are used must be accounted for clearly. Even those left in rubber sheaths must be completely taken away. Anyone who dares to have an illegitimate child outside is an enemy of the entire family. Once discovered, they will never be allowed to recover for all eternity."

Hong Wu, standing to the side, asked in surprise: "No way, is it that exaggerated?"

Steve said solemnly: "It is not exaggerated at all. For the men of the Rothschild family, especially the men of the direct line, once they leave seed outside, they might have to pay a price of tens of billions of US dollars. If this situation were not strictly prohibited, who knows how many women in the world would rack their brains to give birth to a child for the Rothschild family. As long as she gives birth, that is a golden rice bowl for a lifetime. Therefore, our family is particularly concerned about this; whoever dares to mess around will be kicked out."

Ye Chen did not doubt the importance such a super family placed on bloodline, especially when it involved the inheritance of massive assets; naturally, they had to be absolutely cautious.

Therefore, he again feigned curiosity and asked: "Then, since it's not looking for an illegitimate child, what kind of person is worth you coming to find them personally?"

Steve sighed lightly and said: "To tell you the truth, Mr. Ye, you must also know that our family has a long history, and there are more collateral branches than there are hairs on an ordinary person. Among the relatives of our Rothschild family, there is a collateral branch surnamed Horowitz. Our relationship with them is not very close; they can be considered quite average among the collateral blood relatives."

"Two days ago, my father convened a family meeting, and the heads of all the collateral branches were there. The old man probably wanted to take the opportunity to win the hearts of the collateral branch people, so he staged a 'if you have something to say, just say it' act. As a result, this person from the Horowitz family complained in public to my father, saying that a pair of father and son from their family had disappeared in Jin Ling one after another last year."

Speaking of this, Steve said helplessly: "I am the eldest son and the successor to the position of family head already confirmed by the old man, so he let me make a trip personally to find out the specific situation here."

"Oh..." Ye Chen had a look of sudden realization, nodded lightly, and said: "Since they disappeared last year, it's hard to determine whether they are dead or alive!"

Steve said: "Sigh, I couldn't care less about whether they are dead or alive. Anyway, the old man's meaning is that he wants to see the person if they are alive, and see the corpse if they are dead."

Ye Chen asked again: "Then if these two people were killed by someone, wouldn't you still have to stay behind to avenge them?"

"Avenge what..." Steve waved his hand: "I came just to check for clues about these two people. Even if I really wanted to avenge them, I wouldn't need to do it myself. The family will naturally send people over to find out the real culprit and avenge them by the way."

Ye Chen asked again: "Then how do you usually take revenge when you encounter such things?"

Steve snorted coldly and said without hesitation: "Naturally, it is blood for blood. Let alone people who dare to provoke the Rothschild family, even if someone dares to provoke a dog of the Rothschild family, we will never let them off! In this world, the person who can bully the Rothschild family and still make the Rothschild family swallow their anger has not been born yet!"

After finishing, Steve looked up at Ye Chen, his eyes suddenly a little uncomfortable, and he hurriedly added: "Mr. Ye, please don't misunderstand. I said this, it has nothing to do with us sitting here, especially you."

Ye Chen curled his lips: "You have something behind your words. Does that mean I bullied you?"

Steve hurriedly said: "No! Absolutely not!"

As he spoke, Steve, taking advantage of the fact that he had already started drinking, simply filled his glass with wine, drank it in one breath, and taking advantage of the alcohol, said with a face full of grievance: "Mr. Ye, there are no outsiders here. I will say a word from the bottom of my heart. You let Helena return to New York to kill a carbine; it really harmed me! It was in vain that I personally went to pick up Helena. What you told me at the beginning was not like this. You said that as long as I helped you, after my father was stimulated, I would inherit the position of family head. I never expected that you would let Helena give him medicine. Isn't this equivalent to deception..."

Ye Chen said with a calm face: "That's right, I was deceiving you."

Steve looked at him in astonishment and muttered: "You... why are you doing this..."

Ye Chen said: "It's very simple, Steve. Because you are not credible. In my judgment of people, you are definitely a person who goes back on his word."

Steve said with endless grievance: "Mr. Ye! You have misjudged me! I am really not that kind of person!"

Ye Chen laughed: "I know exactly what you have planned for later. If I really let you successfully inherit the position of family head, the first thing you would do is to weaken the brothers who threaten you to the greatest extent. After you fully control the family, you would drive them out of the house one by one to consolidate your own position as family head. And the second thing you would do is to destroy the alliance between us, because by that time you would have completely stood firm and would not care whether I would expose the inside story of the Four Directions Treasure Pavilion, right?"

Steve was stunned, then silently filled a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.

Ye Chen's words had completely deprived him of the intention to defend himself.

Ye Chen continued at this time: "I have always been a villain first and a gentleman later in my work. If I didn't use your father's health to hold you, why would you be willing to lower your head to me in front of me today?"

Steve was speechless for a while.

Ye Chen said again: "Steve, I think you and I should be more sincere in the future. It makes no sense to pretend to be confused or pretend to be innocent while knowing the truth."

Steve nodded with some shame: "Mr. Ye, you are right..."

Ye Chen smiled and continued: "Steve, actually, you have an advantage over your father here with me."

Upon hearing this, Steve's eyes regained their luster, and he hurriedly asked: "Mr. Ye, I don't know what kind of advantage you are talking about?"

Ye Chen said lightly: "You and I have a direct connection, but your father does not. Whether theoretically or physically, you are closer to me. If it weren't for your lack of sincerity, why would I abandon the near and seek the far, and let Helena go to your father to establish an indirect connection that requires a middleman?"

As he spoke, Ye Chen added: "Look, if you are the owner of a supermarket, and you find that the person living opposite you did not choose to come to your place to buy things, but abandoned the near and sought the far to buy in a further street, you cannot pick on the buyer's faults, but must find the problem from yourself. Either you don't have what others have; or everyone has it but your price is high; or the price is the same but your service is too poor. You don't find the problem from yourself; you can't stop the customer and ask him why he didn't come to you to buy things, right?"

Steve nodded repeatedly with shame: "Mr. Ye, you are right... I will definitely be 100% sincere to you in the future, and I will never hide anything!"

Ye Chen laughed: "I can observe."

After speaking, Ye Chen brought the topic back to the direction of finding people and asked him: "By the way, you just said you wanted the other party to pay with blood, but this is China, not the United States. If your Rothschild family really wants others to pay with blood, you can't just send people here to run wild, right?"

Steve was warned by Ye Chen, and while he had lingering fears, he also wanted to get close to Ye Chen, so he said without any cover: "Mr. Ye, we certainly wouldn't do this kind of dirty and tiring work ourselves. If it goes wrong, it will cause diplomatic disputes or public opinion crises. We usually like to let Mexicans do this kind of thing. Look at those members of Mexican criminal groups who are not afraid of anything all day long; in fact, they are most afraid of Americans."

"Mexicans..." Ye Chen remembered the criminal group he had wiped out in Mexico before and said with a smile: "I didn't expect your Rothschild family to have cooperation with Mexican criminal groups."

Steve hurriedly said: "It can't be called cooperation; it's nothing more than pure utilization. This is not a secret in the United States. After all, every criminal group in Mexico relies on selling drugs to the United States to earn Americans' money. Don't look at them killing innocents and acting recklessly in Mexico, but in their eyes, the United States is their God of Wealth. In order to ensure that goods and money enter and leave the United States with fewer problems, they will willingly do things for Americans."

Ye Chen nodded and smiled: "It seems that the Rothschild family really has a lot of means."

After speaking, Ye Chen asked him: "Since the person you want to find disappeared in Jin Ling, do you want me to help you find clues?"

Upon hearing this, Steve said with joy: "It would be best if Mr. Ye is willing to help! Your connections in Jin Ling are definitely something we can't compare with. As long as we have your help, I believe we will be able to find valuable clues soon! Thank you so much, Mr. Ye!"

Ye Chen smiled and said to Steve: "Don't be so polite. Let's eat first. After eating, I will take you to a place. Maybe there are the clues you want to find there."

As he spoke, Ye Chen deliberately asked Hong Wu: "Hong Wu, don't you think so?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Hong Wu chuckled and nodded repeatedly, then asked Steve: "Mr. Rothschild, are you afraid of dogs?"

"Dogs?" Steve didn't know why Hong Wu asked him this, but he still answered very firmly: "To tell you the truth, Mr. Hong, the animal I like most is the dog. Dogs are such loyal animals; few people would not like them."

Hong Wu smiled and said: "That's good, that's good. Let's hurry up and eat. After eating, we'll set off!"
