Chapter 480

After Ma Lan had her cast put on at the People's Hospital, she was driven home by Xiao Xiao Changkun to recuperate.

Along the way, Ma Lan kept nagging Xiao Xiao Changkun, who was beside her, while also fishing for information, trying to figure out why he had dressed himself up so smartly for his gathering today.

However, Xiao Xiao Changkun's mouth was tighter than a safe.

He only wanted to wait for a good opportunity tonight to bring up the divorce with Ma Lan, so before that, he absolutely could not let Ma Lan know about Han Han Meiqing.

Meanwhile, in another car, Ye Chen was driving with a red-eyed Xiao Xiao Churan, following Xiao Xiao Changkun's car at a steady pace.

Xiao Xiao Churan was very sympathetic to her mother's plight. After all, as a daughter, anyone would feel uncomfortable seeing their own mother suffer so many injuries and so much torture.

Besides that, another thing that worried her was the relationship between her father and mother.

She knew her father liked Han Han Meiqing, and compared to Han Han Meiqing, her mother was really lacking in too many ways, so she was very worried that her father would eventually give up their current marriage to pursue his own happiness.

Seeing his wife beside him looking so sorrowful, Ye Chen was just about to open his mouth to comfort her when he suddenly received a call from Chen Zekai.

Chen Zekai asked him on the phone, "Young Master, have you picked up your mother-in-law?"

Because his wife was by his side, Ye Chen could not speak too clearly, so he said vaguely, "Yes."

Chen Zekai said, "That's good."

After saying that, he added, "By the way, Young Master, I heard some news."

Ye Chen asked, "What news?"

Chen Zekai said, "The Wu family of Su Hang seems to be looking for your arch-enemies everywhere. They even sent people to Yan Jing to find Xiao Xiao Yiqian, and they even specially sent people to Mount Zhangbai to find that father and son, Wei Yongzheng and Wei Wei Changming, but they were discovered by the people Hong Wu had arranged there, so they escaped in advance."

Ye Chen couldn't help but furrow his brows tightly.

The only possibility for the Wu family to suddenly contact Xiao Xiao Yiqian and even the Wei father and son was that they wanted to unite a few more of his sworn enemies to deal with him.

Ever since Wu Wu Donghai and his son Wu Xin had suffered every humiliation and fled back to Su Hang, the Wu family had not made any moves. He had thought they realized he was not someone they could afford to provoke, but he didn't expect them to be secretly plotting behind his back.

Ye Chen asked, "Who else have they contacted?"

Chen Zekai said, "The Wu family has also sent people to contact others who have been taught a lesson before, but those are all bottom-tier losers who won't be able to stir up any waves, just like that dog of a couple who once bullied your classmate Wang Daokun and their father."

Subsequently, Chen Zekai asked, "Young Master, should I say a word to the family and just wipe out the Wu family, or let the family warn the Wu family to make them behave themselves in the future?"

"No need," Ye Chen said with a smile, "I don't want others to help."

Ye Chen was not yet prepared to return to the Ye family, and he even felt that he might not necessarily have to return to the Ye family in the future.

After all, he had been away from the Ye family for so many years, and to be honest, although he couldn't say he had deep hatred for the Ye family, there was still a hurdle in his heart—that hurdle being the accidental death of his parents back then.

Therefore, he said to Chen Zekai, "Some things are more interesting when done personally. Relying on others to help is not only unreliable but also loses a lot of the fun."

Chen Zekai hurriedly said, "But Young Master, the Wu family is a top-tier existence in the entire Jiangnan region. If they are truly determined to set themselves against you, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it alone."

Ye Chen smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry about that. Although I am not a very successful person, I am not a soft persimmon that anyone can squeeze either."

Chen Zekai sighed and said, "Young Master, you must still be extra careful and never be negligent in your defense against the Wu family. The Wu family has now offered a reward of 300 million just to kill that father and son, Liu Guang and Liu Ming. Now countless people are hunting them down all over the world. Once they are exposed, they will likely be hacked to death by countless people."

Ye Chen asked curiously, "Does anyone know where that father and son went?"

Chen Zekai said, "It is said that they went abroad, but no one knows which country, because they seemed to have used fake passports when they left."

Ye Chen nodded. Although he didn't say it out loud, he knew very well in his heart that the reason the Wu family wanted to hunt down this father and son was actually because of that crosstalk performance on the short video platform.

The Wu family had been racking their brains to delete that crosstalk from the short video platform, but because the short video platform had already been bought by Tang Tang Sihai, they had no way to do it at all.

Because of that crosstalk, the entire Wu family had lost all face and couldn't delete it, so the only way to regain their face was to kill both Liu Guang and his son, letting the world know that the Wu family would never suffer humiliation in vain.

Chen Zekai said again at this time, "Young Master, the Wu family is willing to spend 300 million or even more just to deal with Liu Guang and his son. If it were to deal with you, I believe they would be willing to pay an even greater price, so you must, must be careful."

Ye Chen said indifferently, "Okay, I understand."

Chen Zekai said, "Young Master, if you have any need for help, please be sure to tell me."

Ye Chen gave a hum, quietly glanced at his wife beside him, and said to Chen Zekai, "I am on my way home now; we'll talk about anything else later."

"Okay."

After Ye Chen hung up the phone, Xiao Xiao Churan asked curiously, "Who are you talking to on the phone? Talking about help or no help, soft persimmons or not—is someone trying to bully you?"

"No," Ye Chen smiled and said, "Wasn't Mom bullied by a pyramid scheme organization? So I'm planning to find a friend to see if they can help Mom vent her anger."

Xiao Xiao Churan hurriedly said, "Absolutely not!"

As she spoke, she added, "To be honest, Mom has suffered so much, and although it's pitiful, as her daughter, I have to say that she brought this upon herself. She values money too much; not only is she obsessed with wealth, but she is always looking for shortcuts without putting in the work. Even if she didn't fall for this scam today, she would fall for another one tomorrow."

Ye Chen nodded in full agreement. He didn't expect that although Xiao Xiao Churan was somewhat blindly filial to Ma Lan, at the very least, she knew what kind of person Ma Lan really was.

Originally, saying he would help Ma Lan vent her anger was just an excuse anyway. Seeing Xiao Xiao Churan say this, he didn't continue the topic.

At this very moment, what was on Ye Chen's mind was the Wu family far away in Su Hang.

Since the Wu father and son were still brooding over their previous encounters, they would sooner or later come to seek revenge on him.

But there was one problem that slightly exceeded his expectations: the Wu father and son were both very arrogant. Why would they need to find helpers for something like seeking revenge on him?

Their contacting Xiao Xiao Yiqian and others who had offended him must be because they wanted to unite a few more enemies to target him together.

To Ye Chen, this was not a very good signal.

Because when enemies are arrogant, they are always very easy to defeat.

But when enemies are no longer arrogant, they become more cunning and also much harder to deal with.

The Wu family already had strong strength, and now they wanted to unite with others to deal with him, which proved that they had made great progress and were worthy of his attention!
