Chapter 756: Mutual checks and balances

In fact, by this point, both brothers had already figured it out.

At this time, money or whatever was just an external object.

What was truly meaningful to them right now was freedom and the status of being the heir to the Kobayashi family!

With only 10% of the shares left in their own hands, they could still guarantee a life of luxury.

But if they were trapped in a dog farm in a foreign land for the rest of their lives, they would never have a chance to turn things around.

So, if these two choices were compared, it was truly the difference between heaven and earth.

When Jiro Kobayashi heard Ichiro Kobayashi say he was willing to give Ye Chen 90% of the shares, Jiro Kobayashi was driven crazy with anxiety.

He almost desperately blurted out, "Mr. Ye, if you are willing to cooperate with me, I can give you 95% of the shares!"

Ye Chen smiled slightly and said, "Jiro Kobayashi. Your realization came a little late. I think it's more appropriate to cooperate with your brother on this matter."

As soon as Ye Chen said this, Ichiro Kobayashi's expression became incomparably excited, while Jiro Kobayashi felt as if he had fallen into an abyss, completely desperate.

Ichiro Kobayashi knelt on the ground excitedly and kowtowed to Ye Chen, choking with sobs, "Mr. Ye, thank you for your trust and appreciation. In the future, I will follow your lead in everything. If you tell me to go east, I will never go west!"

Ye Chen nodded, looked at the incomparably desperate Jiro Kobayashi, and smiled, "Jiro, you don't need to worry too much, and you don't need to be so desperate. My cooperation with your brother is only temporary."

As soon as these words were spoken, both brothers looked at Ye Chen nervously.

Ye Chen continued, "If your brother cooperates well, actively coordinates with me, and satisfies me, then I might continue to cooperate with him. But if he dares to have other thoughts or makes me feel dissatisfied, then I will have him caught back and brought here. I'll have him replace you in feeding the dogs, and then have you replace him as the helmsman of the Kobayashi family."

After hearing this, Ichiro Kobayashi immediately expressed his stance without hesitation, "Mr. Ye, you can rest assured. I will absolutely, absolutely not have any ulterior motives, and I will absolutely not let you have any dissatisfaction with me!"

Jiro Kobayashi was desperate.

Looking at it this way, he was just a deterrent to his brother in the future, and the meaning of his existence was to constantly remind his brother to listen to Ye Chen.

If his brother didn't make any mistakes, he wouldn't have a chance to turn things around.

Ichiro Kobayashi also knew very well that his brother was the means Ye Chen left to control him. If he didn't listen to him, he might swap him and his brother back, so he must fully cooperate with Ye Chen to avoid returning to this ghost place!

What Ye Chen wanted was for these two brothers to check and balance each other. Seeing that his goal was achieved, he felt relieved.

Afterwards, he looked at Ichiro Kobayashi and said lightly, "Ichiro, prepare yourself well these few days. I'm going out of town for a few days. After I come back, I will personally take you to Japan to inherit the Kobayashi family. However, before we go, you must sign a contract with me, giving me 90% of your family's Kobayashi Pharmaceutical shares."

Ichiro Kobayashi nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Mr. Ye, don't worry, I can sign and seal it at any time!"

Only then was Ye Chen satisfied. He smiled slightly and said, "Alright, both of you brothers stay here for now, I'll come back in a few days."

After saying this, he instructed Master Hong Wu, "Hong Wu, you must watch these two brothers for me. There must be no mistakes. Do you understand?"

Master Hong Wu nodded without hesitation and said, "Master Ye, please rest assured. Hong Wu guarantees with his head that there will absolutely be no mistakes!"

"Good."

Ye Chen looked at Chen Zekai and said, "Alright, let's go."

On the way back.

Ye Chen's phone received a push notification.

This notification was a news article with the headline, "Japanese genius female sanda athlete Ito Nanako has left the critical period; doctors say she may bid a final farewell to the ring!"

Seeing this news, Ye Chen hurriedly clicked to view it, and then read the body of the report.

It turned out that after Ito Nanako returned to Japan, she immediately underwent emergency treatment at the best hospital in Tokyo.

Moreover, her injuries at the time were very severe; in fact, her internal organ damage was extremely critical, and for a time, she could not be pulled out of life-threatening danger.

After several hours of emergency treatment, she finally gradually moved out of danger.

However, although she had left the critical period, her physical injury status remained far from optimistic. The media cited top Tokyo physicians, stating that Ito Nanako's bodily functions were now severely damaged, and it was still unknown whether she could recover. Even if she was out of life-threatening danger, the chance of making a full recovery was extremely slim, and in all likelihood, she would be unable to step into the ring again.

The report also said that the Japanese public was deeply saddened by this news and had been praying for Ito Nanako on Japanese social media, hoping she could recover soon and continue to win glory for Japan in the ring.

The end of the article revealed that it was understood that after Ito Nanako's physical condition stabilized, she would head to Kyoto for a long period of recuperation, and for a long time to come, she would likely not appear in the public eye.

After reading it, Ye Chen could not help but sigh.

It seemed that the internal injuries Ito Nanako sustained in the match were indeed very serious.

After all, she and Qin Aoxue were simply not in the same weight class of athletes, so getting injured was inevitable.

In fact, she shouldn't have fought this match that was destined to be lost, but this seemingly delicate girl had a very strong heart; even knowing she might lose miserably, she still insisted on fighting to the end without hesitation.

Ye Chen sighed softly, put his phone away, and said to Chen Zekai, who was driving, "Old Chen, I'm going to Yanjing tomorrow. Please keep an eye on things here in Jin Ling for me."

Chen Zekai nodded immediately and said respectfully, "Young Master, please rest assured. I will guard everything in Jin Ling. I guarantee with my life that there will absolutely be no deviations."

Ye Chen gave a hum and said nothing more.

Chen Zekai asked again, "Young Master, would you like me to arrange a private jet to take you?"

Ye Chen shook his head: "No need. If you arrange a private jet, the Ye family will likely find out. My trip to Yanjing this time has nothing to do with the Ye family, and I don't want to create extra complications. It's better to be low-key."

Chen Zekai nodded: "Young Master, then should I help you book your flight ticket?"

"Good," Ye Chen said, "Then help me book a flight for tomorrow morning."

Chen Zekai hurriedly asked again: "Young Master, which day do you plan to return? Let me book your return ticket as well."

"I haven't decided yet," Ye Chen said, "You don't need to worry about the return trip."

Chen Zekai hesitated for a moment, then said with a serious face: "Young Master, Yanjing is a place where hidden dragons and crouching tigers reside, and the people are a mixed bag. So, after you arrive there, it's best not to act on impulse to avoid unnecessary trouble. If you encounter any problems that are difficult to solve, you can tell me or tell Butler Tang. We will all do our best to help you without informing the family."

"Good, I understand."

Chen Zekai reminded him again: "Young Master, according to the information I have, Kong Delong of the Kong family hates you to the bone. When you go to Yanjing, try not to have conflicts with people surnamed Kong, so as not to let the strong dragon be suppressed by the local snake."

"Kong Delong?" Ye Chen sneered: "If you hadn't mentioned him, I would have almost forgotten this idiot."
