Chapter 652: Undercurrents Brewing

g that needs to be supplemented" With an exasperated look at Ye Fan once again, Li Xiangting handed him the document she had been writing earlier. Only then did Ye Fan realize that she had prepared a...Si Kong took a deep breath, "Ye Family Head, just tell me straight. What do you want from me this time The Ye family did me a favor back then. If it's something Si Kong can do, I will definitely not shirk my responsibility!" This was what Si Kong owed the Ye family. He knew he would have to repay it sooner or later.

He also knew that in China, favors owed were often the hardest to repay! He just didn't have the power to choose.

"You can definitely do this, little brother, and only you can do it!" Ye Wuming looked straight into Sikong's eyes, his face full of sincerity.

Si Kong's heart was weighed down by a heavy stone, almost suffocating him. He felt uneasy and a sense of foreboding, but he knew there was no escape now.

"That is, I hope you will come forward and invite Wudao back to our Ye family!"

Ye Wuming finally said those words. Si Kong slumped onto the chair, his heart in disarray, and remained silent for a long time.

And Ye Wuming was also anxiously watching Sikong. He knew that this was indeed difficult for Sikong, but as the head of a prominent family, he had no choice. Perhaps this was what a strong person had to do, but he had to do it!

The Ye family, ever since that incident twenty years ago when their brightest new star fell, has gradually faded from the imperial stage. At the same time, several prominent families in the empire, especially those in Yanjing, have risen like a shining new star, emitting their own dazzling light. This kind of light once belonged to the Ye family, but now, the brilliance emanating from Yanjing makes the Ye family deeply uncomfortable.

Especially this time, with the change of term approaching, Ye Wuming only discovered that there was an invisible big hand secretly setting up a huge scheme behind the scenes. This scheme left their Ye family helpless and unable to find a solution. If this scheme couldn't be solved, it would affect this term election, thereby seriously impacting the Ye family's power. It's even possible that the Imperial Army's power would be reshuffled!

The Ye family has contributed so much to the empire. After decades of development, they have achieved their current status. Could it all be ruined in their hands Ye Wuming was unwilling and couldn't let things continue like this. The only one who could unravel everything was that person!

The one who was driven out of the Ye family by his own hand! The one who swore never to step foot in the Ye family again!

Back then, it was their Ye family who wronged him. Now they're both begging him to return to the Ye family. Isn't this a kind of irony

Will that person willingly come back Ye Wuming knew very well his cousin's personality. If they, the Ye family, went to ask him, it would be impossible no matter what. Therefore, after much deliberation, he finally thought of Sikong.

Ye Wuming didn't expect Si Kong to answer immediately. Instead, he waited quietly. At this moment, he suddenly felt a deep sense of sadness. The fate of the illustrious Ye Family, an empire's renowned clan, was being decided by an outsider. Could it be that the Ye Family had truly fallen

Finally, after a long time of waiting, Sikong uttered these words with great difficulty. However, even he couldn't hear whether the voice came from his own mouth.

Ye Wuming was overjoyed. He tightly grasped Sikong's hand and excitedly said, "Brother, you've gone through so much!"

In another secret chamber of a courtyard within the Ye Mansion, a clandestine conversation was also taking place.

"I said righteousness, I heard that the old man has already made a move. The news from our inside line says he is talking to Sikong right now. We don't know what they are talking about, but this mobilization, the old man bringing Sikong of Linhai to talk, it definitely won't be anything good!" The speaker was a woman in her forties, although she had passed forty, she was well-maintained and could still be considered charming.

Sitting next to her was a man with a slightly gloomy face. After hearing his wife's words, the man lit a cigarette and nonchalantly said: "Are you overthinking things After all, Si Kong is also an old friend of the old master. It's not unusual for him to come here for a chat."

Yang Li patted Ye Shouyi's arm and said reproachfully, "Catching up Do we need to send someone to Linhai to invite Simao especially for catching up Things haven't been peaceful in our Ye family lately. Have you heard any rumors"

Ye Shougong also became serious at this point, sitting up straight. “You mean… the old master wants the Fourth Master to return to our Ye family”

"I told you so! The information from our man beside the old man indicates that his idea isn't out of thin air. After all, the Ye family today is no longer the Ye family of the past! Therefore, Shouyi, we must prepare for the worst. Ada is preparing to return to the country, and we must do something for him!"

Ye Qingda is the son of Ye Shouyi and Yang Li. Since he was a child, they sent him abroad to study, waiting for him to return from abroad and inherit the Ye family's property. However, the old man clearly extended his favor towards Ye Shouyi's elder brother Ye Shouxin's son, Ye Qingcheng, even cultivating him as the next head of the family. Now, through the Ye family's connections, he serves as the commander of the First Regiment of the Yanjing Garrison District Guard Brigade at a young age. He is already in a key position with an unlimited future. The Ye family plans to let Ye Qingcheng undergo several more years of training. After the old man retires, they will allow Ye Qingcheng to take his place.

In this situation, Ye Shouyi, whose eyes were blinded by power, found the Yan family and sought their support. The Yan family, of course, readily agreed and, through Ye Shouyi, laid the groundwork early on. Of course, as a quid pro quo, the Yan family promised to support Ye Kenda's ascension to the position of head of the family in the upcoming succession battle.

So, at this critical juncture, Ye Shouyi and Yang Li urgently asked Ye Kinda to rush back from abroad to prepare for a big move.

"Hmph!" Hearing his wife's words, Ye Shoucheng sneered, "The bureau we laid out is already in place, we just have to wait for them to fall into the trap. The old man wants to rebuild the bureau Not a chance!"

"That's all well and good, but we can't just sit back and wait, after all, Ye Wudao is a formidable opponent with immeasurable power. If he really does come out of seclusion, then Ada will be in grave danger!" Yang Li said anxiously.

"Don't worry, Ye Wudao is very proud. The old master may not be able to get him back." Ye Shouyi still knew a little about Ye Wudao's character.

"I'm afraid it's that Si Kong! Word has it he's Ye Wu Dao's sworn brother! If he joins the fray, things could get complicated!"

"Is that possible" Ye Shouyi also frowned, taking a few hard puffs of his cigarette. As if he had made up his mind, he tossed it away, got up, and said, "No, I have to tell General Kuai, just in case something happens!"

"It's best to screen out trouble for them and prevent them from seeing Ye Wu Dao." Yang Li also said.

"I have a plan," said Ye Shouyi, "By the way, when will Ada be able to return to Beijing"

"The flight this afternoon at 5 o'clock should arrive in Beijing around 11 o'clock tonight, right"

"He's back, tell him not to go anywhere, just wait for me here!" Ye Shouyi said before striding away.e Huang Xiaoya and the others" Ye Fan asked straightforwardly.When Liu Qin heard the question about Huang Xiaoya, her face immediately turned ugly. Ye Fan could tell from her expression that Huang Xia...
