Chapter 668: Judge for Yourself
"Li Shan, you go out first." Xu Baoshan waved his hand and said to Li Shan, who had already been scared silly to one side.
"Yes, President Xu." Li Shan nodded hurriedly, then walked out cautiously.
After everyone in the room had been cleared out, Xu Baoshan lay weakly on the sofa; he truly did not know how to handle this matter.
"Zhang Lao, what do you think of this person Chen Yu?" After everyone had left, Zhang Zhengwen gritted his teeth and said.
"I still think you should seize this opportunity," Zhang Zhengwen said sternly.
"But what about the Liu Family? Everything I possess now was given to me by the Liu Family, and you know what kind of person Liu Jingye is—he always avenges his grudges," Xu Baoshan hesitated. "If he finds out I betrayed him, I will never have a chance to get ahead again."
"This matter is known only to you and me, and looking at Mr. Chen's demeanor, it seems he is at odds with the Liu Family," Zhang Zhengwen said. "I think he just wants to plant you inside the Liu Family."
"So you don't need to worry about this for now. And do you think that since he said such things, he would give you a chance to choose?" Zhang Zhengwen stared at him and said, "He is giving you time to consider, not letting you choose. If you don't choose him, with his methods, he truly has a thousand ways to make you die without anyone knowing why."
Xu Baoshan's face turned ugly again. This time, he had tried to steal a chicken only to lose the rice used to bait it; he already regretted it. Why did he have to go and provoke Chen Yu for no reason?
"But I am still a member of the Liu Family right now. He wouldn't risk going against the Liu Family just to deal with me, would he?" Xu Baoshan said somewhat uncertainly.
"First, if he wants you dead, it is just a matter of a thought; you don't understand at all what a Dharma Cultivator is," Zhang Zhengwen sighed. "Secondly, in the Liu Family, you are merely an insignificant figure. Although the Liu Family has Liu Lianxin, she is the Liu Family's ultimate power. Do you think they would tear their faces off with Chen Yu for your sake?"
Xu Baoshan stood up abruptly. He really had been a bystander blinded by the situation; these words from Zhang Zhengwen had completely awakened him.
Since Chen Yu said it that way, it meant that Chen Yu was giving him a few final days to consider. This was not letting him choose; it was letting him consider.
If he defected to Chen Yu, then things would be easy to handle. If he did not agree, then Chen Yu truly would have a thousand ways to make him die, and it would be the kind of death where there was no proof left behind.
"So you should consider it yourself. I missed out on Chen Yu before because I was too suspicious. If there is an opportunity, I will seize it well," Zhang Zhengwen sighed slightly; mentioning this matter, he was filled with regret.
"Thank you, Zhang Lao. I know what to do." Xu Baoshan nodded with a grave expression; he indeed had an idea of what to do in his heart.
"Xiao Yu, I really find it harder and harder to see through you." On the way back, Zhang Hu sighed and said, "I feel like you are truly unfathomable now. You came to Shengjing with a purpose, right?"
"Yes, there is a purpose." Chen Yu nodded: "My biological mother is in Shengjing, and a large group of people are hoping for her to abdicate. If I don't become strong, if I don't arm myself, I won't be able to protect her. Do you understand?"
"I understand." Zhang Hu was startled; he nodded and said, "Don't worry, Xiao Yu, no matter what happens in the future, I will support you."
"Good, with those words from you, I can rest easy." Chen Yu smiled slightly.
He Group headquarters.
He Group has a special office park in Shengjing, where six buildings in the park are all He Group office locations.
The entire top floor of one of the buildings in the middle is He Lingyun's office.
He Lingyun finished processing the several documents in her hands, stretched, and moved her body.
Mu Xi walked in from outside and served a cup of coffee for He Lingyun.
"What is he doing?" He Lingyun took the coffee and asked.
"Strengthening himself," Mu Xi said. "He went to see that Xu Baoshan today; it looks like he beat Xu Baoshan quite badly."
"Xu Baoshan? Someone under the Liu Family?" He Lingyun was slightly stunned. "Does he have a grudge with the Liu Clan?"
"More or less, yes. But don't worry, that fop from the Liu Family is not even on the same level as our young master," Mu Xi laughed.
"That's good. I have confidence in the son I gave birth to," He Lingyun smiled faintly. "How is it going with the daughter of the Ye Family?"
"The daughter of the Ye Family has already fallen for him," Mu Xi said. "She is the most suitable candidate for a daughter-in-law, but it seems she also knows that girl from the Yu Clan."
"The Yu Clan? Which Yu Clan?" He Lingyun raised her head and asked.
"The Yu Clan that declined several years ago, Yu Zhangye's daughter," Mu Xi said. "Because of a certain incident several years ago, the Yu Clan was kicked out of the ranks of the wealthy families and has never recovered since. Now that couple is obsessed with marrying their daughter into a wealthy family, hoping to rely on their daughter to restore the Yu Clan's prestige."
"I have heard of the girl you mentioned," He Lingyun said. "The girl is not bad, but the Yu couple are not very good people. However, as long as my son likes her, it is not impossible to consider."
"Are you already scouting for daughter-in-law candidates for our young master?" Mu Xi was stunned.
"Otherwise?" He Lingyun smiled faintly. "But there is no rush. There are plenty of girls in Shengjing who are both talented and beautiful; we can take our time choosing."
"Right, no rush, take our time choosing," Mu Xi giggled.
The next day, the nursing home.
Ye Lao is recovering well; he can now eat normally and can even get out of bed and walk a few steps with support.
Ye Lao's face is now glowing with health. If his body hadn't been possessed by that thing for too long, damaging his three Origins, he would be just like a normal person now.
After the acupuncture was finished, Ye Lao broke into a sweat and was pushed inside by a nurse to be cleaned up.
"Your grandfather is recovering well, better than expected," Chen Yu said. "You don't need to worry too much; it won't be long before he recovers to be just like a normal person."
"Okay, thank you," Ye Qingning thanked him out of habit.
"Do you need to be so polite with me?" Chen Yu smiled slightly. "Has there been any movement from your uncle these past few days?"
"No movement at all, he just came to visit a few times, but was chased out by my grandfather," Ye Qingning shook her head and said. "The old man is currently furious; although he was mostly unconscious when he was sick, he was clear-headed in his heart."
"Yes, Ye Lao is clearer in his heart than anyone else," Chen Yu smiled slightly. "So he knows what he is doing; you don't need to worry about this. As long as he is there, your uncle cannot possibly control the power of the Ye Clan."
"But what about you?" Ye Qingning raised her head. "I know this person Ye Jingwu; he has always been unscrupulous in his actions. You are now effectively standing in opposition to him. If he turns vicious, he is capable of doing anything."
