"Brother Ye, the Ye family's affairs are not something you can handle alone. Once Ye Xingchen becomes one of the Five Cardinals, no one will be able to suppress him. The Ye family, with one hand, is already making it difficult for us to breathe. You should know what that signifies.
For a long time, the Ten Elder families have mutually restrained and balanced each other. Now, Ye Xingchen of the Ye family has been the first to break this situation. Coupled with the youthful empowerment of authority, it becomes even more troublesome. Without the checks and balances of the Ten Elder families, they will become even more lawless."
Murong Yuze said anxiously.
He was one of the key figures in the Azure Army, but Ye Xingchen was currently a member of the Provisional Councilor Evaluation Committee and was about to become one of the Five Cardinals.
Wang Yuan continued, "Yes, Brother Ye, please consider it carefully. A single person's strength is always limited. We have a common enemy, and we can fully cooperate."
They continued to persuade him.
However, he also had his own considerations, and some matters were not as simple as they thought.
"I will consider this matter carefully."
After he finished speaking, he paid no attention to their gazes and directly ended the video call.
He lit a cigarette and stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down from a commanding height, taking in the entire panorama.
"Ye Xingchen, he's really a troublemaker."
He let out a long sigh, and Yuan Gang's figure emerged from the darkness, saying softly, "The Ye family is indeed very troublesome. Dragon Pavilion's intelligence network in the capital has already been compressed to headquarters. Six intelligence bureau points have been taken down by the Ye family. We have irreconcilable conflicts with the Ye family."
Ye Longlin frowned, his hands in his pockets. "You've never mentioned this before."
Yuan Gang gave a wry smile. "Everyone in the Dragon Pavilion is aware of your conflict with the Ye family, and we are not in a position to go to war with the Ye family right now. We still have external enemies, so no one wanted to tell you. If Xuan Kui and Mo Fa knew I told you, I wouldn't be in a good position either."
Ye Longlin remained silent. The affairs in the capital were indeed troublesome.
"I need to keep track of the Ye family's movements at all times."
At the same time, within the Plum Blossom Group.
Ye Lin sat in her office chair, suppressing her anger. On the computer screen in front of her, a gaunt figure occupied the display.
"Second Brother, Ye Longlin is too arrogant. Make a move, I want to see him die."
The figure on the screen was Ye Xingchen, the current heir of the Ye family.
Ye Xingchen looked at Ye Lin dotingly. "You, you, when will you ever change this impulsive temper? Ye Longlin is not as easy to deal with as you think. If he were that easy to deal with, he would already be my servant."
Ye Lin spoke with great anger, slamming her fist on the desk. "I'm just not convinced. Why does a small group from a remote area dare to speak to me like this? If it weren't for Ye Longlin's existence, what is she?"
Ye Xingchen, not only about to become one of the Five Cardinals, but also possessed considerable personal power.
No one had seen his full strength. All they knew was that his enemies only saw him make one move, and after that move, the opponent was defeated, giving him a legendary aura.
"Alright, cause less trouble during this period. I've already sent Uncle Fu to Star City. Ye Longlin has the ability to influence decisions within the capital. Keep him busy during this time. I have my own plans, so you behave yourself."
Under Ye Xingchen's reprimand, Ye Lin dared not resist. No one in the Ye family dared to defy Ye Xingchen.
His methods were too iron-fisted and ruthless.
Ye Lin pouted, "Understood."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Lin sneered, "Do you really think... you can control everything?"
...
In the Imperial Capital, Ye Xingchen lay on the sofa, with a figure standing before him, who was none other than Wang Yuan!
Ye Xingchen's tone was cold. "Wang Yuan, Wang Yuan, you are truly useless. You can't even infiltrate Ye Longlin's inner circle. What good is it to be an councilor?"
Even though he was seated, the aura of authority that came from his long-held position made Wang Yuan tremble.
Wang Yuan said fearfully, "Yes... Yes, I'm sorry... I'm useless. I'll try my best to get close to Ye Longlin."
Ye Xingchen said nothing. He stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at half of the capital, his heart filled with ambition.
"Ye Longlin is just a discarded waste. I am the true lineage of the Ye family!"
"Wang Yuan, I am willing to give you a chance to follow me. Once I ascend to that position, your Wang family can be guaranteed prosperity for a hundred years!"
As his words fell, Wang Yuan exclaimed with joy, "Thank you, Cardinal Chen, thank you, Cardinal Chen! From now on, Little Wang will be your vanguard! If you tell me to go east, I will never go west. If you tell me to go north, I will never go south."
Hearing his words, Ye Xingchen felt extremely pleased, a smile appearing on his lips.
"Ye Longlin still has some influence in the military system. If they cause trouble during the election, it will be very problematic. I need to deal with them and ensure that no one causes trouble."
Wang Yuan looked excited. "Really? Can I, Little Wang, truly help Cardinal Chen? Did I hear correctly?"
Ye Xingchen turned around, looking at him playfully. "Wang Yuan, I didn't realize it before. You actually have a sycophantic side. Not bad, not bad, I like it, Hahahaha."
Wang Yuan acted like a lapdog. "It is my honor to be Cardinal Chen's lackey."
Ye Xingchen waved his hand and left directly. After seeing Ye Xingchen off, he returned to his office and lit a cigar.
"Bah! You think you can firmly hold onto a position among the Five Cardinals by acting like this? Ye Xingchen, Ye Xingchen, you will eventually fall because of your arrogance, and I will be the one who facilitates that arrogance."
A meaningful smile appeared on Wang Yuan's lips, completely different from his sycophantic demeanor earlier.
"Do you really think I don't know your plan?"
Star City, Ju Ling Group.
"Ye Longlin, if you've come to gloat, then please leave after you're done. I don't have time to deal with you."
Lin Tian'ai said without looking up, her voice clear and cold.
In fact, she didn't know how to face Ye Longlin. After all, he had done many things before, but she simply didn't believe it.
And this time, it was the same with the loan. He had only given her a card, but this card had made Mo Wudao dare not inquire about the loan, or even ask if such a thing had happened.
It had also caused the Plum Blossom Group to return empty-handed.
With all these fragmented events, she really didn't know how to face this person.
"Someone will be coming here this afternoon, and you won't be able to handle it."
Ye Longlin said slowly, picking up the newspaper beside him and shaking it, his tone still calm.
Lin Tian'ai's hand, which was busy writing, suddenly paused. She looked up, full of confusion. "Who?"
Ye Longlin said nothing, which made Lin Tian'ai feel a pang of discomfort.
"I really dislike things that are beyond my control."
Upon hearing this, Ye Longlin finally showed a slight smile. "You are not qualified to say that now. You will only be qualified to say it when you truly reach the pinnacle."
