Chapter 706

~9 min read 1,606 words

Thinking of the past, Tang Sihai was choked with sobs.

Listening to his painful crying, Ye Chen felt a sharp pain in his heart as well.

Although many years had passed, the thought that his parents had not died in an accident, but had been murdered, filled Ye Chen's heart with incomparable pain and hatred.

As a son, the vengeance for one's parents is a debt that must be repaid!

This vengeance, without Tang Sihai even needing to say it, he would definitely exhaust every effort to exact!

Otherwise, he would truly be unworthy of being a son!

Therefore, he said in a cold voice, "Steward Tang, rest assured about this matter. I, Ye Chen, swear to heaven that I will personally avenge my parents! Every single person who participated in the plot to harm my parents back then, I will not let a single one of them go!"

"That is good!" Tang Sihai was incredibly moved, but he also said earnestly, "Young Master, regarding this matter, you must not be impulsive. There are many clues behind this that I have yet to untangle, so it is better to plan carefully and avoid exposing yourself too early..."

Ye Chen gave a hum: "I know this, you can rest assured."

After finishing, Ye Chen added: "I have one more question, and I hope you will answer it truthfully."

Tang Sihai immediately said: "Young Master, please ask!"

Ye Chen pondered for a moment and asked: "My wife, Xiao Churan, was she also arranged by you?"

Tang Sihai hurriedly said: "This really was not... I also know your wife's grandfather. I truly did not expect that he would meet you at the construction site where you were working. When I learned he wanted to marry his granddaughter to you, although I knew his granddaughter was not a match for you, I did not stop it at the time, because I only wanted to protect your safety and did not want to interfere with your life."

Ye Chen felt a sense of relief in his heart.

He knew that his childhood in the orphanage was Tang Sihai's arrangement, so he was terrified that his meeting with Xiao Churan was also his doing.

Therefore, he said to Tang Sihai: "Steward Tang, let's stop here for now. I have an appointment tonight. You help me sort through the clues you have on hand over these next few days, and if there is an opportunity, I will talk to you in person."

"Very well, Young Master!"

Ye Chen hung up the phone, only then realizing that two lines of hot tears had unknowingly streamed down his cheeks.

Only today did he learn that, more than a decade ago, his parents had been harmed by villains.

Only today did he learn that, more than a decade ago, the orphanage where he lived had been entirely and meticulously arranged by Tang Sihai, all for the purpose of completely hiding every piece of information about him.

Today, the world had undergone a earth-shattering change in his eyes; it seemed as if the entire world had become unfamiliar.

The last time he had this feeling was the moment he accidentally obtained the Nine Mysteries Heavenly Sutra;

And the time before that was the moment he was eight years old and learned of his parents' passing.

Just as he was lost in thought, Wei Liang called and said: "Master Ye, about what time will you be coming over? Would you like me to drive over to pick you up?"

"No need," Ye Chen said. "I am going to pick up my wife now, and then I will head over. You all wait for me for a while."

After finishing, he hung up the phone and rode his little electric scooter toward Xiao Churan's studio.

At the same time, in the director's office of the Jin Ling Orphanage.

Seeing Tang Sihai finish his call, the director asked respectfully: "Steward Tang, what should I do here now?"

Tang Sihai sighed and said: "Since the Young Master already knows, there is no need for you to remain at the orphanage. In the future, return to your posts in the Ye family. I will make arrangements for you. You have worked hard for all these years!"

The director immediately bowed and said: "Steward Tang, the Second Young Master treated us with great kindness while he was alive. We are willing to die for the service of Young Master Ye Chen!"

Tang Sihai nodded and said: "You are all elites whom the Second Young Master painstakingly cultivated for many years. For more than a decade, stooping to stay in a small orphanage has not only been hard work for you, but also a grievance. Take a good rest during this period."

"When the Young Master inherits the Ye family one day, you will all be the Young Master's trusted aides. At that time, serve the Young Master well!"

"The Young Master is someone you watched grow up. He is kind-hearted, upright in character, and honest in his dealings. If he can take control of the Ye family one day, I believe he will never treat you unfairly."

The director immediately nodded and said: "This is also because the Young Master suffered many hardships from a young age, which is why he has such precious qualities. These qualities in him are something I have never seen in any other rich second-generation heir."

Tang Sihai smiled slightly: "So, letting the Young Master suffer in the orphanage back then, looking at it now, may not have been a bad thing. The Young Master is, after all, the Second Young Master's only son. As the saying goes, dragons beget dragons, phoenixes beget phoenixes. I believe the Young Master's future achievements will be no less than the Second Young Master's!"

Having said that, Tang Sihai waved his hand and said with a pleasant mood: "Alright, I am returning to Jingcheng. You hold a meeting with everyone over these next few days, and then hand over the orphanage to the local relevant departments in Jin Ling. I will give you a sum of money tomorrow. You go back to see your families first, and then find a comfortable resort to have a good rest."

The director bowed again and said: "Thank you, Steward Tang!"

After finishing, he asked again: "By the way, Steward Tang, what about Little Li? She didn't know anything before, but now she knows quite a bit of the inside story."

Tang Sihai said: "She has also put in a lot of effort to take care of the Young Master for so many years, and she is not young anymore. It is time for her to retire and enjoy her later years. I have an estate in Canada; I will give it to her for her retirement. Don't let her see the Young Master again for now; we will talk after the Young Master successfully inherits the Ye family."

The director said: "Little Li has an adopted daughter who also works at the orphanage. She is an orphan who grew up with the Young Master. She knows nothing about these things yet. I am afraid Little Li won't be able to bear leaving her."

Tang Sihai sighed and said: "Talk to that girl, tell her some things selectively, and then let her accompany her foster mother to Canada. There are many Chinese people there, and the requirements for language proficiency are not high. The mother and daughter can quickly start a new life there. I have investigated that girl's background; it is very clean, and she likes the Young Master. She will never do anything detrimental to the Young Master."

"Understood!"

That night, the Jin Ling Orphanage suddenly completed a major blood transfusion.

Everyone was silently packing their luggage and belongings, and staff from the city also rushed over to complete the handover with the original team.

No one knew why a management team of an orphanage, suddenly including everyone from the director to the cooks, had to be replaced. Could it be that these people had committed some major error?

But they could not imagine that these people were like a disciplined army. They had finished this protracted war, and now, it was time to exit the battlefield in an orderly fashion.

Although Auntie Li was extremely reluctant, she also knew very clearly that she, like Ye Chen, had been completely unaware of these things before. But now, she already knew some of the inside story—that Ye Chen's true identity was the Young Master of the Ye family in Jingcheng.

Therefore, she also knew clearly that she could not continue to stay here.

Since she knew this information, she couldn't say she had been dragged into the water, but at the very least, she could no longer remain aloof.

Now that she had been brought into this group, she had to listen to the instructions of the Ye family.

Therefore, she also made a decision to follow the director's instructions and temporarily go to Canada to recuperate.

As for Li Xiaofen, Auntie Li did not tell her the truth, only telling her that the benefactor who had previously sponsored her medical treatment was now sponsoring her to go abroad to recuperate for a period of time. She had no other relatives, so she hoped Li Xiaofen could accompany her.

Li Xiaofen regarded Auntie Li as her own mother, so naturally, she agreed without hesitation. Thus, she also began to pack her luggage, preparing to go abroad with her.

Auntie Li thought that she would tell Li Xiaofen about these things after they arrived in Canada.
