Chapter 85: Suspecting the Cheng Family

"Mask?"

Jiangnan furrowed his brows.

It seems that behind this matter there may be a huge conspiracy.

"Grandfather, please rest well; regarding this matter, I will investigate it together with Mr. Jiang."

Ye Wan opened her mouth to comfort him, but her eyes flickered with deep worry.

Ye Zhentian, however, shook his head, struggling to get up.

"Wan'er, help me up; I want to thank Mr. Jiang properly. He has already saved our Ye family twice; we must repay his kindness!"

"Elder Ye, there's no need for that."

Jiangnan gently shook his head, indicating that he cared little for such formalities.

But Ye Zhentian persisted in standing up from the bed, his demeanor very respectful.

"Mr. Jiang, you are a benefactor of our Ye family; I must thank you in person."

"If you count carefully, you have already saved our Ye family twice."

His voice was somewhat weak, but his tone was very sincere.

"If you hadn't intervened, the Ye family would probably have fallen apart by now."

"Elder Ye, you are too kind."

Jiangnan gave a slight nod.

"It's a trivial effort, not worth mentioning."

"Between you and me, there's no need to be so distant."

His tone was calm, yet it carried an undeniable authority.

Ye Wan stood aside, watching Jiangnan's profile.

That handsome face was unexpectedly alluring. In that moment, a strange feeling rose in her heart.

It felt like a startled fawn colliding, and like spring water rippling.

Ye Wan's cheeks quietly flushed.

"Mr. Jiang, I truly appreciate you this time. If it weren't for you, Grandfather would…"

"If possible, let me stay by your side from now on, like Miss Murong Wan, handling some small matters for you. What do you think?"

"This…"

Jiangnan slightly frowned,

he felt that having Murong Wan by his side was enough,

but seeing the other's hopeful gaze, he couldn't bring himself to refuse. He nodded and said casually:

"As you wish."

…

Qian Chong stood in the corner, taking in everything.

At that moment his complexion was so gloomy it seemed it could drip water!

He clenched his fist, his nails digging deep into his flesh. Blood seeped down his fingertips, yet he didn't notice.

"Jiangnan!"

He gritted his teeth, forcing two words out between his teeth. In his eyes burned a fierce jealousy.

"How dare you lay a hand on my woman!"

"I, Qian Chong, will make you pay!"

"Ye Wan is mine; no one may try to snatch you from my side!"

Qian Chong's eyes turned blood‑red, staring intently at Ye Wan. That gaze was like a starving wolf fixated on its prey.

"One day, I will make you obediently return to my side!"

He turned and left, his silhouette exuding a cold, ruthless resolve.

"Grandfather, do you know who cast a curse on you?"

Ye Wan recalled the earlier events, and a wave of dread rose in her heart.

"I suspect it's the Cheng Family."

Ye Zhentian pondered briefly, then began slowly.

"Cheng Family?"

Ye Wan was startled, then remembered something.

"Could it be because of the Xingchen Plaza Project?"

"Exactly."

Ye Zhentian nodded.

"The Cheng Family has long eyed this project greedily."

"They have repeatedly used hidden traps, trying to snatch the project away."

"I just didn't expect they would resort to such despicable means."

A flash of anger flickered in his eyes.

"What about Jia Chenggong?"

Ye Wan suddenly thought of a person.

"He was originally a vanguard of our Ye family, but later betrayed us and defected to the Cheng Family."

"Could this matter be related to him?"

"Very likely."

Ye Zhentian's face darkened, and he couldn't help clenching his fist.

"That parasitic thing, I'll deal with him sooner or later!"

"Grandpa, what do you plan to do?"

Ye Wan felt uneasy; after all, the opponent's methods were insidious, and Grandpa might not be their match.

A flash of ruthlessness passed through Ye Zhentian's eyes, his fist tightened.

"The Cheng Family is powerful; if we act rashly, we may invite even bigger trouble."

Ye Wan let out a soft sigh,

"The Xingchen Plaza Project is the top priority for the Ye family's future development; there must be no mishaps."

Ye Zhentian pondered for a moment, a hint of resolve flashing in his eyes.

"We cannot sit and wait for death; we must take the initiative and strike."

He looked toward Ye Wan.

"Wan'er, arrange it immediately; the Xingchen Plaza Project, start at once."

"Grandpa, but..."

Ye Wan opened her mouth but stopped.

"The Cheng Family side..."

"No need to worry."

Ye Zhentian waved his hand.

"When troops come, the general blocks; when water comes, the earth covers."

"I don't believe they can still overturn the heavens, can they?"

Seeing Ye Zhentian so resolute, Ye Wan said no more.

"Yes, Grandpa, I'll arrange it right away."

She turned and left, her steps firm.

Inside the room, only Ye Zhentian and Jiangnan remained.

Ye Zhentian looked at Jiangnan, his eyes full of gratitude.

"Mr. Jiang, this time truly owes to you."

"No more words; from now on, whenever Mr. Jiang uses our Ye family, the Ye family will have no objections!"

Jiangnan gave a slight nod, his expression calm.

Ye Zhentian watched Jiangnan, his admiration for him growing deeper.

Despite his youth, he possessed such medical skill, remained unflustered in crisis, and carried an extraordinary bearing.

"Mr. Jiang, what do you think of the Xingchen Plaza Project?"

Ye Zhentian suddenly asked.

"They're just some Jumping Clowns, no need to mind them."

Jiangnan replied offhand.

Ye Zhentian thought briefly, then suddenly said:

"Mr. Jiang, my Wan'er is young and inexperienced. Please continue to support us."

"The Xingchen Plaza Project is also highly valued by the Murong Family's maid. She now stays by your side; I believe this project will have no issues."

"Actually, our Ye family is now large and prosperous, not lacking projects. Mr. Jiang, if you don't mind..."

"I'm not interested in such matters."

Jiangnan waved his hand, cutting off Ye Zhentian's subsequent words.

"But you need not worry; I will personally oversee this project."

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhentian was overjoyed and immediately said:

"Then I entrust it to you, Mr. Jiang."

…

Ye Wan returned to the office, immediately summoned the company's senior executives and called an emergency meeting.

In the conference room, the atmosphere was heavy.

Everyone, upon learning of Ye Zhentian's attack, was shocked.

"Everyone, the Xingchen Plaza Project, start immediately."

Ye Wan looked around, her voice firm.

"We must accelerate the project's progress at the fastest speed."

"Let those petty scoundrels see that our Ye family is not to be trifled with!"

The others, hearing this, nodded in agreement.

"General Manager Ye, rest assured, we will give our all."

"Yes, let them know our Ye family is formidable."

"The Xingchen Plaza Project will surely be completed smoothly."

After the meeting ended, everyone sprang into action.

The whole company, like a high-speed machine, began bustling.

Ye Wan sat in the office, watching the scenery outside the window, her mind filled with countless thoughts.

The Xingchen Plaza Project is the key to the Ye family's future development; there must be no mishaps.

She believes that with Jiangnan's help, the project will surely be completed smoothly.

Thinking of Jiangnan, a gentle smile appeared on her face.

That steady, aloof man always gives people a sense of safety.
