Chapter 581: Something Happened at Mount Changbai!

At this very moment.

Tang Chen Yi Pin!

The night was deep, and Ye Chen and his wife were fast asleep in their respective beds.

At this time, Ye Chen's phone suddenly vibrated twice.

Worried that the phone would wake his wife, he hurriedly picked it up and found that he had received two WeChat messages.

It was already past 12 o'clock in the night. He didn't know who would send him a WeChat at this time, but he guessed that whoever could send a WeChat at this time must have something urgent.

So he immediately unlocked his phone and found that the WeChat was from Hong Wu.

"Master Ye, something happened at Mount Changbai. Wei Liang and I are at your door. I wonder if you have time to come out and see us?"

Ye Chen frowned.

Something happened at Mount Changbai, which proved that the Wu family had set their sights on the Wei father and son again.

So he got up quietly, went downstairs, and came outside the villa.

Hong Wu and Wei Liang were standing at the door waiting respectfully.

Seeing that both of them looked nervous, Ye Chen asked, "What happened?"

Hong Wu said, "More than half an hour ago, the Wu family sent people to Mount Changbai. This time, they sent a lot of people—16 of them."

Ye Chen nodded and asked, "And then? Tell me the result directly."

Hong Wu said respectfully, "They intended to snatch the Wei father and son. There was a gunfight between the two sides. My men and Wei Liang's men killed 15 of them, and one escaped."

Ye Chen nodded and asked, "Did your men suffer any losses?"

Wei Liang said, "Master Ye, I lost three men, and Master Hong Wu lost one. That's four in total."

Ye Chen said, "Not bad. Overall, it was a victory."

Hong Wu nodded and said, "I think the Wu family won't give up after two failures. They might move against Mount Changbai comprehensively soon. Wei Liang and I have already started gathering men to rush to Mount Changbai recently, but I'm worried that the Wu family will send their imperial experts next time."

Ye Chen frowned, "Imperial experts?"

"Yes!" Hong Wu said, "Jianghu rumors say that Old Master Wu has the Eight Heavenly Kings under his command. These Eight Heavenly Kings are all martial artists with incredibly powerful strength!"

After speaking, Hong Wu added, "Master Ye, my men can deal with ordinary people, but if they deal with martial arts experts, it might be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. Losing a dozen men doesn't matter, but I'm afraid of delaying your affairs, Master Ye. If they rescue the Wei father and son, I, Hong Wu, will be hard-pressed to shirk the responsibility!"

Ye Chen knew that all big families had super experts they kept.

In his impression, the Ye family had many experts when he was young.

The strength of these experts was far beyond the cognition of ordinary people.

For a super family with assets of trillions, only real top experts could protect their safety.

So, Ye Chen asked him, "Hong Wu, what are your thoughts?"

Hong Wu hurriedly opened his mouth and said, "Master Ye, please forgive me for being blunt. I have always felt that there is no need for the Wei father and son to continue living in this world. Your enemy is now treating them as bargaining chips and is trying their best to win them over. Instead of this, it's better to kill the father and son and end the trouble once and for all!"

Ye Chen smiled slightly and said, "If everything could be solved by killing, the Wu family would have been dead long ago. Some people deserve to die and should be killed as soon as possible, like those people in the Beggar Sect; but for some people, killing them is meaningless."

After Ye Chen finished speaking, he smiled and continued, "Think about Ichiro Kobayashi in your kennel. Actually, you could have killed him long ago, but why did I keep his life? It's because I think this person is interesting alive, and there are more possibilities alive. If he dies, many things will lose a lot of fun. The Wu family is the same, and the Wei family is the same."

In Ye Chen's heart, all things in the world were complementary and mutually restraining.

He kept Ichiro Kobayashi's life to make him and his brother Jiro Kobayashi mutually restrain each other.

He kept the Wei father and son's life to make them and Wei Liang mutually restrain each other.

If Ichiro Kobayashi really died, if he wanted to balance Jiro Kobayashi in the future, or even balance Kobayashi Pharmaceutical, he would lose the best bargaining chip.

If Wei Liang had rebellious thoughts in the future, he could use the Wei father and son to balance him.

This was the imperial art of ancient times.

A true wise monarch would never truly trust a treacherous official, but he would never completely trust a loyal official either.

However, there could be no treacherous officials in the court, because treacherous officials were the key to balancing loyal officials.

If it were a loyal official without the balance of a treacherous official, he would become increasingly arrogant, ignore the emperor, and gradually become a treacherous official.

That was why Ye Chen needed different people to balance each other.

After all, the Ye family was a top big family. The descendants of the Ye family studied the Four Books and Five Classics, read ancient history, and studied the art of the emperor from a young age. These means were almost brought out from their bones.

So, Ye Chen shook his head and said, "Killing the Wei father and son is equivalent to me being afraid of the Wu family. This is a show of weakness, and I never show weakness."

After speaking, he said indifferently, "If I'm not mistaken, the Wu family has likely sent out the Eight Heavenly Kings, and it's even possible that they are already on their way to Mount Changbai."

"Ah?!" Hong Wu and Wei Liang were both dumbfounded.

Wei Liang said in surprise, "They shouldn't be so fast, right? After all, they just lost fifteen men. They should need to retreat and rest for a period of time before making a comeback."

"No!" Ye Chen said firmly, "If Wu Wu Donghai could mobilize martial artists, he should have sent them long ago. So, I guess that the one who can really mobilize martial artists should be the Old Master of the Wu family!"

"The old generation of entrepreneurs is still very powerful. Old Master Wu started from scratch. His ability, courage, and insight are all far superior to ordinary people. If he is in charge of everything behind the scenes, his methods must be much higher than Wu Wu Donghai's! He will definitely launch a fatal blow when others think it is most impossible to attack."

After speaking, he smiled indifferently, "And the most impossible time to attack is right after a failure, when everyone thinks he must retreat and rest, but he insists on catching the opponent off guard."

Hong Wu exclaimed, "Master Ye, what should we do now? Should we send people over overnight?"

Ye Chen waved his hand and said indifferently, "If the opponent sends martial artists, no matter how many people go, it won't be enough to see. It's just sending them to their deaths."

Hong Wu was shocked, "Master Ye, what should we do then?"

Ye Chen said indifferently, "You don't need to worry about this matter. I have my own arrangements. After all, flying from Suhang to Mount Changbai is still quite a long distance, and there is still enough time to prepare!"

Hearing Ye Chen say this, a flash of joy appeared in Wei Liang's eyes, and the heavy stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

So, he said gratefully, "It seems Master Ye is already well-prepared! Wei Liang thanks Master Ye!"

The one most afraid of the Wei father and son returning was Wei Liang.

He didn't want the Wei Pharmaceutical he had finally obtained to be handed over to others in the blink of an eye! ===== CHAPTER 582 =====
