Chapter 529: I

"What?!"

Jiang Ming had lived for over 20 years, and this sentence Ye Chen spoke was the most shocking and incredible thing he had ever heard in his life.

His eyes were bloodshot as he stared fixedly at Ye Chen's face, muttering, "Impossible, how could this be possible? I know you, I've known you since we were kids. Your name is Ye Chen, you're an orphan! You were brought back to the orphanage by Auntie Li when you were 8 years old. You're just like me, a stinking loser in this society with no one to rely on and no parents. How could you be the young master of the Ye family?"

Ye Chen smiled slightly: "I know, it's hard for you to believe this, but it is indeed true. Otherwise, how do you think I could have mobilized so many people to chase you so easily? Look at these helicopters, look at these armed men in black. If I weren't the young master of the Ye family, you all would have already succeeded this time."

"But... but..." Jiang Ming asked in disbelief: "If you are the young master of the Ye family in Yanjing, then why did you grow up in an orphanage since you were a child? Why didn't they take you away? Why would they let a young master like you, who lived in a golden nest, live together with us penniless losers since childhood?"

Ye Chen laughed: "Back then, they didn't know my whereabouts. Before my father died, he went to great lengths to hide my identity. Although the Ye family had been looking for me, they never thought I would grow up in an orphanage."

Jiang Ming immediately pressed: "Then they found you now? When did this happen? And why is this?"

Ye Chen said: "They found me a while ago. To tell you the truth, before they found me, I was just a stinking loser like you. And I might have been even worse off than you, because at that time, not only was I penniless, but I was also a live-in son-in-law at my wife's house. Every day was just washing clothes and cooking; there was no hope in sight for my life. Unlike you, at least you could manage to be a director in a fraudulent company."

Jiang Ming blurted out: "You knew you were the young master of the Ye family, so since you were living so miserably, why didn't you take the initiative to find them? As long as you took the initiative to find them, you wouldn't have to live that life of being looked down upon by others anymore, why didn't you go?"

Ye Chen laughed: "This is the difference between the two of us. I have an extraordinary background, but I am willing to be humble; you have a humble background, but you are not willing to be humble and ordinary. If you were like me, willing to be humble, how could you have committed such a monstrous mistake today?"

"I don't understand!" Jiang Ming shook his head desperately, already losing his sanity as he said: "I don't understand! I really don't understand! Is it just because you saw money when you were young, that you can get by even when you have no money after growing up?"

"Perhaps." Ye Chen smiled faintly and said: "I did live in luxury when I was young. The life I lived back then is probably something you can't even imagine now. But so what? I wasn't happy, and my parents weren't happy either."

Jiang Ming asked incredulously: "Then are you willing to be poor? You clearly experienced a life of wealth when you were young, but when you have nothing, don't you miss that kind of life?"

Ye Chen sighed softly and added: "Jiang Ming, you value money too much. You can value money, but you cannot value it too much. There are some things that money can never compare to, such as your ideals, your love, your principles, and your conscience. Once you put them in the wrong place, you will do the wrong things. Some things can be corrected if done wrong, but some things cannot be changed once done wrong."

At this very moment, Jiang Ming finally realized just how lowly he truly was.

Because Ye Chen in front of him, this Ye Chen who grew up with him in the orphanage, was actually the young master of the Yanjing Ye family!

It was also at this moment that he knew just how big the gap between him and Ye Chen was.

He finally knew the gap between the two.

It was the gap between a swallow and a swan!

It was the gap between a pheasant and a phoenix!

It was the gap between a common fish crossing the river and a true dragon among men!

As the saying goes, how can a swallow know the ambition of a swan? This saying is truly perfect when applied to himself and Ye Chen now.

It was also at this moment that Jiang Ming finally admitted defeat completely.

He knew that not only had he lost this life, but he had also lost the next.

He would never be able to seek revenge on Ye Chen again, and for Ye Chen to kill him would be as easy as crushing an ant.

He, just like the Liu Zhaochen family and those members of the Beggar Sect, was just a small fish or shrimp blown away by a sneeze from Ye Chen, this true dragon among men.

Jiang Ming's face was instantly filled with despair.

Just a moment ago, he was still thinking about seeking revenge on Ye Chen in his next life or the one after.

But at this moment, he finally understood that even if he had another lifetime, he probably wouldn't have the qualifications to seek revenge on Ye Chen.

The most painful thing in the world is realizing that you will never be able to catch up to your enemy in any lifetime.

At this moment, Jiang Ming was already utterly hopeless!

He looked at Ye Chen with tears streaming down his face and choked out: "Ye Chen, I admit it, I really admit it. Kill me, I'm tired of this world, and I'm tired of myself... Please, let me be free..."

Ye Chen nodded, looked at him, and said earnestly: "Jiang Ming, among all the people who are to die today, your crimes are the lightest; but likewise, among all the people who are to die today, everyone has committed a capital crime, and this naturally includes you. I hope you can be reborn into a good family in your next life!"

Jiang Ming gave a miserable smile and said: "Next life... after hearing you finish talking about your affairs just now, I suddenly have a feeling that a person like me might be born with a bitter fate. If you gave me another lifetime, I might still be an orphan, and I might still be a penniless loser in the eyes of others..."

Ye Chen nodded with a calm expression and said: "In that case, then I hope you can be a good person in your next life."

Jiang Ming nodded earnestly and smiled miserably: "The way you put it, I've started to loathe myself too. I hope I can be a good person in the next life."

After saying this, he became much calmer. He had been so scared that he had lost control of his bowels earlier, but at this moment, he was calm enough to support himself and stand up.

He stood in front of Ye Chen and said earnestly: "Alright Ye Chen, send me on my way. Send all those children back safely. Tell Auntie Li I was wrong, tell all our little friends I was wrong, I regret it, and I am atoning for my sins with my life..."

Ye Chen nodded and said: "Since you truly know you were wrong, then I will give you a quick end."

As he spoke, Ye Chen said to Chen Zekai: "Weld all those people into the Iveco, and then have the helicopter lift the car into the middle of the river!"

"Yes, Young Master!"

The helicopter took off again.

Inside the Iveco, the core members of the Beggar Sect and the Liu Zhaochen family kept letting out their final desperate wails.

Everyone was struggling with all their might, but at this time, not only were they welded shut, but the car was also welded shut, and they had no way to escape.

Immediately after, the helicopter simply dropped the Iveco, which was filled with sin, into the river.

The Iveco bubbled rapidly on the surface of the river, and then sank completely to the bottom!

Ye Chen turned his head to look at Jiang Ming at this time and said indifferently: "I promised to give you a quick end; I won't let you die as painfully as they did."

Jiang Ming gave a miserable smile and nodded: "Thank you, Ye Chen."

Ye Chen nodded slightly and said to a man in black beside him: "Take him to the bridge and give him a clean end."

The man in black nodded: "Yes, Young Master!"

Without waiting for the men in black to make a move, Jiang Ming staggered toward the edge of the bridge himself.

He climbed onto the railing, turned to Ye Chen, and said: "Ye Chen, give me a quick end!"

Ye Chen looked at the man in black and nodded slightly.

Subsequently, the man in black took out a black pistol from his waist and aimed it at Jiang Ming's forehead.

Bang!

A spray of blood burst from the back of Jiang Ming's head!

Immediately after, his body fell backward, plummeted off the bridge, and into the river, instantly swallowed by the rolling river water... ===== CHAPTER 530 =====
