CHAPTER 705 – Ye Cheng’s Plan
As soon as the ambulance came and they rushed Chairman Zhang away, the lawyer smiled.
“Hello, how did it go?”
“It went well, Boss. As expected, he refused to see me.”
‘Okay. So you dropped it?”
“Yes. Although I guess he did not get to read it first before getting a heart attack. Apparently, the gift you left him was more than enough to give him a fright.”
.....
“Ah, I see. Good then. Anyways, my gifts must be received and when he comes out from that, he would be faced with a law case in his hands. I wonder how he is going to take that.”
“Boss. I think we should prepare for his death soon if you give him such a fright,” his lawyer teased. “The old man’s heart is weak.”
“Nope. It is as strong as ever. A man with a weak heart would not have the heart to do all he has done. Not to me but to his workers and those standing in his way. Once we bring him down with the law firm, I would handle the rest.”
“Okay. So long as the wicked go down, I am happy. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to do this, Boss.”
“Worry not. We would not lose. I am Ye Cheng. His worst mistake was crossing me more than once. I am not so liberal. I forgive but I bite back the hardest when my kindness is taken for granted. Anyways, you can return now. And prepare for court soon. He must come down.”
“Definitely boss. I would keep you informed.”
“Got it. Bye.”

Ever since Li An’s decision to remove him from his position, to allow Ye Cheng to take full charge of it, things have been going well but he did not show up in the company.
First, he had his embarrassment to handle and the last thing he wanted was every board coming to pay him a visit concerning it.
“Hmm,” Yi Wang Lei sighed. “What progress are you making concerning your father’s case?” Yi Wang Lei asked.
“Not so much but I have it investigated. I know Chairman Zhang would be thorough in his action. The fault would lie in the person he used. It is the same thing that happened with Bai Qing Mei and Hao Huizhong. The fault came when his granddaughter saw my involvement with Li Jing and she came out of hiding.”
“Hahaha, he never saw that one coming. Her crazed obsession for the CEO of Dream Star Corporation. I am sorry bro. You really have suffered so much betrayal. However, how patient you were in dealing with them was a misery. This isn’t you.”
The look in Yi Wang Lei’s eyes when he made mentioned his character told a different story.
“I know. I am surprised I let them go with such a betrayal. My life was at stake.” He took let out a sigh before leaning his back against his chair. “However, then I did not want to alert my father and mother.”
“I see.”
“Yes.” The look in his eyes turned cold as memories of the incident he had, the pain he went through at their betrayal came rolling in. “I never was one who entertained betrayal but for mum’s sake and father’s nagging...”
“Are you sure it was just that?” Yi Wang Lei interjected.
“What? I do not understand.”
“Do you not or you are just playing mindless games with me?” He arched his brows at his friend, expectantly.
Ye Cheng tilted his head to the side. He did not understand what his friend was playing at.
“Is it just because of your parents or because of someone else?”
“Who could it be? Bai Qing Mei was my girlfriend and Hao Huizhong was my best friend. The two were dear to me.”
“Li Jing, dummy. You just did not want her to see the ruthless side to you, did you?” Yi Wang Lei concluded.
“I... No,” he shook his head. “That wasn’t it. I just, I was too broken.”
“And that was even what you needed to bring you back to your ruthless nature. You were played for a fool, Ye Cheng.”
“I know. I just let them go for friendship’s sake and you know who Chairman Zhang is. He is very influential. The case would have died down.”
“That is why we do not tackle them using justice at times. It doesn’t work. Even the law is bloody corrupt.”
“Anyways, I still have not let go of the matter. I told them not to act or hurt those I care about, not only have Bai Qing Mei flaunted that rule several times she takes my words for a joke and I would not tolerate that.”
“Better.”
“They collaborated with Li Xiu and struck at my wife, my life... hehhee, I have been too kind.”
Now that sinister smile on your face... hmm, Bai Qing Mei truly did not see more of this side of you else, she would have known you were not one to be messed with.”
“It doesn’t change the situation. The dumb would forever be dumb. Hao Huizhiong knew I was tactical and ruthless in business. And serious especially in the act of betrayal. It was why Dream Star Could rise. I took the company’s interest to heart.”
“Sadly, he never learnt and thought he was wise.”
‘I can understand his rage and betrayal to some extent but his problem is with my father, not me. I should kill him for his actions but that would be a blood bath against brothers.”
“You acknowledge him?” Yi Wang Lei sat out from his seat, dropping his feet to the ground.
“Whether I choose to or not. I cannot change the fact that my father birthed him.”
“True.”
“Now, no one can blame me for being ruthless because I would be. What Chairman Zhang is facing is just a bit of the iceberg. There would be more to come. I would cripple him as he planned to do to my father.”
