Chapter 652: Undercurrents

screet signal. He swallowed the words that were about to leave his lips. Nevertheless, he still glared at Kawarai Sora with malice.“If responsibility is to be taken, the greatest burden likely falls...Si Kong took a deep breath, "Ye Patriarch, just say it. What do you want me to do this time The Ye family did me a favor back then. If there's anything Si Kong can do, I will gladly do it!" This was what Si Kong owed the Ye family, he knew that he would eventually have to repay it.

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 deeply uneasy, sensing something was amiss, but now he couldn't escape it.

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

Ye Wuming finally said those words. Si Kong slumped into a chair, his heart in turmoil, speechless 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 powerful family, he had no choice. This might be what a strong person would do, but he had to do it!

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

Especially this time, with the upcoming handover, Ye Wuming only realized that there was an unseen giant hand secretly setting up a huge game behind the scenes. This scheme left the Ye family helpless and unable to solve it. If it couldn't be solved, it would affect the handover election, seriously impacting the Ye family's power. It could even lead to a reshuffling of the Imperial Army's forces!

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

The one who was driven out of the Ye family by him with 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 are 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 character. If they, the Ye family, went to persuade him, it would be impossible no matter what. Therefore, after much thought, he finally thought of Sikong.

Ye Wuming did not ask Sima Kong to answer immediately, but waited quietly. At this moment, he suddenly felt a sense of sadness. The fate of the illustrious Ye family of the Empire was about to be decided by an outsider. Could it be that the Ye family had truly fallen

"I... I'll try..." Finally, after a long wait, Sikong uttered these words with difficulty. However, even he couldn't hear if the voice came from his own mouth.

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

In another secret chamber in a secluded courtyard of the Ye Residence, a clandestine conversation was also taking place.

"I said loyalty, I heard that the old master has already made a move. Our inside source tells us that he is currently talking with Sima Kong. We don't know what they are talking about, but this mobilization, the old master bringing Sima Kong from Linhai to talk, it definitely won't be anything good!" The speaker was a woman in her forties with heavy makeup. Although she was over forty, she was well-maintained and could still be considered graceful.

Sitting next to her was a man with a slightly sullen expression. After hearing his wife's words, the man lit a cigarette and nonchalantly said, "You might be overthinking things. After all,司空 is also an old friend of the old man. It's not unusual for him to come here to reminisce."

Yang Li patted Ye Shouyi's arm and said reproachfully, "Catching up Do we need to specially send someone to Linhai to invite Simao for a reunion Our Ye family has been quite unsettled recently. Have you heard any rumors"

"At that moment, Ye Shouyi became alert and sat up straight. "You mean... the old master wants to invite Fourth Master back to our Ye family"

"I told you so! The news from the person we placed by the old man's side shows that he isn't just thinking about this out of thin air. After all, the Ye family is not what it used to be now! So, Shuyi, we must prepare for the worst, Ada is preparing to return home, and we must do something for him!"

Ye Qingda is the son of Ye Shuyi and Yang Li. Since he was a child, they sent him abroad to study, waiting for him to return from abroad to inherit the Ye family's property. However, the old man clearly extended his attention towards Ye Shuyi's older brother Ye Shuxin's son, Ye Qingcheng, and even cultivated him as the next generation head of the family. Now, through the Ye family's connections, he serves as the commander of the First Battalion of the Yanjing Garrison District Guard Regiment. At a young age, he has already reached an important position with an unlimited future. The Ye family plans to let him temper himself for a few more years, and after the old man retires, they will allow Ye Qingcheng to take over.

In this situation, Ye Shoucheng, whose eyes were blinded by power, found the Yan family and sought their support. Of course, the Yan family readily agreed and, through Ye Shoucheng, set up an early plan. Of course, as a condition for exchange, the Yan family promised to support Ye Kenda's ascension to the position of head of the house in the upcoming contest for the headmaster's position.

Therefore, at this crucial juncture, Ye Shouyi and Yang Li urgently requested Ye Qingda to rush back from abroad, ready to make a big move.

"Hmph!" Ye Shoucheng scoffed at his wife's words, "We've already set up our trap, just waiting for them to fall for it. The old man wants to regain control Not a chance!"

"That's how it is, but we can't just sit around and wait either. After all, Ye WuDao is a formidable opponent with immeasurable power. If he really does come out of hiding, then Ada will be in danger!" Yang Li said worriedly.

"Don't worry, Ye Wudao is very arrogant. The old man might not be able to persuade him to come back." Ye Shouyi knew a little about Ye Wudao's character.

"I'm afraid it's that 司空! I heard he is Ye Wudao's sworn brother! If he makes a move, then things will probably change!"

"Is that so" Ye Shouyi also frowned, took a few hard puffs of his cigarette, as if he had made up his mind, threw it away, got up, and said, "No, I have to go to the commander, just in case something happens!"

"It's best to filter out trouble for them and keep them from seeing Ye Wudao," Yang Li also said.

"I have a number in mind," said Ye Shouyi, "By the way, when can Ada return to Yanjing"

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

"He's back, keep him here and have him wait for me peacefully!" Ye Shouyi said before striding away.d just report it to the police.But the driver was completely motionless like a log, as if he hadn't heard her at all.Lin Bingyue panicked and called out several times, but the driver only languidly re...
