509: Chapter 453 Regret Not Doing Sooner!
509: Chapter 453 Regret Not Doing Sooner!
Get out!
A bunch of clowns!
The brazen words of Ye Fan and Chu Ji struck Ye Wenhai and the others like a loud slap across their faces, their expressions filled with frustration, their mouths tighter than a virgin’s crossed legs.
Although they had only heard of the mythical act of “Heaven-defying Fate Changing” in novels, television, and movies, and considered it completely impossible, a sliver of reason told them that if Ye Fan couldn’t do it, Ye Zhen would never allow Ye Fan to be so unrestrained!
Unlike them, Ye Wenhao, who had once been the top of the Qing bang, had not only heard of “Heaven-defying Fate Changing,” but also knew well how eerie and unpredictable this Magic was, and how exceedingly demanding it was for the practitioner!
In his view, although Ye Fan’s strength was impressive, attempting this eerie and unpredictable magic seed nearly impossible.
But… he was also very aware that since Yan and Chu Xuanji had both arrived downstairs and did not stop Ye Fan, they naturally had confidence in Ye Fan.
This made his suspicion, compared to Ye Wenhai and the others, only more and not less!
“You all go out first.”
Just as Ye Wenhao and others were in shock, Ye Zhen gritted his teeth and made an ugly decision.
As the Ye Family Patriarch, he couldn’t bear to see his children and grandchildren so humiliated, nor could he accept Ye Fan openly addressing the Old Master Ye by his full na, but thinking of Yan accompanying Ye Fan personally to the 301 Hospital, considering Ye Yuanshan’s advice, he eventually compromised with Ye Fan.
“Dad, Heaven-defying Fate Changing is a power only immortals possess—he simply can’t do it—he’s playing, humiliating our Ye Family!”
Ye Wenjun was desperate, he had previously scolded, demanding Ye Fan and Chu Ji to get out, but now he had to leave himself, a contrast too great for him to accept in the mont.
“Yes, Dad, don’t let him deceive you and Grandfather!”
Ye Wenling quickly agreed, her hatred for Ye Fan making it unbearable to be scolded by him to get out.
“Shut up!”
As soon as Ye Wenling finished speaking, Ye Zhen shouted angrily: “Do you all think you are more capable than the old Master?
Everyone, get out!”
“Kid, if you can’t extend the Old Master’s life, or if anything happens to him, I am not finished with you!” Facing Ye Zhen’s scolding, Ye Wenjun didn’t dare to talk back but directed his anger towards Ye Fan.
Ye Fan gave a cold laugh, “What?
Do you also want to end your career like Ye Wenhai?”
“You…”
Angered, Ye Wenjun trembled all over, pointing a finger at Ye Fan.
“Enough talk, just get out!”
Ye Zhen cut off Ye Wenhao sharply, knowing Ye Fan’s character well, if Ye Fan could indeed extend Ye Yuanshan’s life, he would definitely negotiate terms.
And if Ye Fan insisted on making Ye Wenhai and Ye Wenjun end their careers, for the greater good, Ye Yuanshan might just agree.
Perhaps realizing that Ye Zhen was truly angry, Ye Wenjun and Ye Wenling dared not say anything more but left fuming.
Seeing this, Ye Wentao patted an oblivious Ye Wenhai, who, recovering from his shock, glanced at Ye Fan in slight panic, completely forgetting how arrogant he had been before facing Ye Wenhao and father and son, and slinked away like a dog that had lost its ho.
With even the third generation of the Ye family leaving, the fourth generation, led by Ye Long, naturally did the sa.
They walked out, looking at Ye Fan in confusion, still unable to believe that Ye Fan, who was supposed to die, could suddenly beco the savior of the Ye Family!
“This does not include you two.”
Imdiately, as Qin Yan and Ye Cang walked past Ye Fan, Ye Fan sighed.
“Uh…”
Qin Yan and Ye Cang, mother and son, halted instinctively, trying to say sothing but their minds were blank, gazing at Ye Fan with complex expressions as if their emotions were a spilled jar of spices.
“Sigh…”
Seeing this, Ye Wenhao also let out a complex sigh.
He clearly knew that apart from the fact that Qin Yan and Ye Cang hadn’t targeted Ye Fan just now, Ye Fan was also considerate of his feelings.
“Xiao Fan, everyone has left, can we go in now?”
Seeing Ye Wenhai and the others had departed, Ye Zhen’s expression was grim—being the Ye Family Head and one of the tops in the hierarchy, he had never felt as frustrated as today!
“You go in by yourself, neither your dad nor I will enter.”
Before Ye Fan could respond, Chu Ji spoke up first, clearly aware that if Ye Wenhao followed in, it would not be favorable for Ye Fan’s negotiations.
Ye Fan silently nodded and followed Ye Zhen into the intensive care unit, imdiately spotting Ye Yuanshan on the bed.
“Huff…huff…”
Perhaps because of the extended ti off the ventilator, Ye Yuanshan’s breathing was slightly rapid and heavy, his once Commanding Presence face now a pale yellow, with a darkened area between the eyebrows, deep-set eyes, and dim gaze.
At this mont, he looked like a candle in the wind, ready to extinguish at any mont.
“In my life, I have judged many people but misjudged you.”
After gazing for a solid dozen seconds, Ye Yuanshan finally spoke, breaking the silence in the room with a self-mocking tone, “At first, I thought I was right, then I realized I was wrong, and later, I found out I was right after all…”
“So you not only quickly severed all ties between the Ye Family and in the shortest ti but also discarded my dad as a scapegoat, even letting him confess and go to prison?” Ye Fan interrupted Ye Yuanshan rudely.
“Now I think, I was wrong again.”
Ye Yuanshan forced a smile and asked, “I’m curious, what exactly did you rely on to make Yan take the huge risk of facing public scrutiny and accusation, and choose to abandon his principles?”
“You’re not curious; you’re trying to figure out my trump card so that you can take the initiative in the upcoming negotiations and secure the maximum benefit at the least cost,” Ye Fan retorted sharply.
“Yes.”
Having his intentions exposed, Ye Yuanshan showed no embarrassnt but rather bluntly admitted, “Similarly, since you’ve co here, you have your own purposes, so I think we should stop beating around the bush, don’t you think?”
“Six years ago, I developed the drug that resisted the Destroy virus,” Ye Fan stated directly.
Huh?!
Astonished upon hearing Ye Fan’s revelation, both Ye Yuanshan and Ye Zhen were taken aback!
“If that’s the only card you have, you could at best avoid punishnt for your actions by claiming rit, but how would you speak of a counterattack?” Surprised, Ye Yuanshan pondered for a mont before pointedly identifying the key issue.
Seeing Ye Yuanshan, who was barely hanging on, respond so quickly and think so sharply at this mont, Ye Fan was sowhat startled, then added, “Besides, I also have irrefutable evidence of the two Yanhuang Organization mbers who died by my hand colluding with Qinghong, and my destruction of the Hongwu Sect was a sanctioned duel to the death by Yanhuang Organization’s laws, not illegal or against the rules!”
“That’s not enough,” Ye Yuanshan shook his head.
“What if I add that the Bai Family secretly colluded with the Qinghong Organization to the detrint of our nation?” Ye Fan asked.
“You…
do you have evidence?”
Ye Yuanshan and Ye Zhen both gasped—should Ye Fan be able to produce solid proof, it would undoubtedly be the most explosive scandal in Huaxia’s officialdom!
“No,” Ye Fan shook his head.
“Then you?” Ye Yuanshan asked, puzzled.
“I ntioned earlier that five years ago, I only developed a drug to resist the Destroy virus, not eliminate it—the Destroy virus will break out again in a few years!”
Ye Fan laid down his last trump card, “And I can provide a complete cure for the Destroy virus!”
“Uh…”
This ti, both Ye Yuanshan and Ye Zhen were struck dumbfounded.
Initially, Huaxia had managed to surpass the United States and beca the global hegemon by leveraging the drug Ye Fan developed against the Destroy virus, which forced Western nations, including Europe and Arica, to form alliances, thus ending the era of nation-states and ushering in what is now known as the Alliance Era.
If the Destroy virus breaks out again and rampages, and Ye Fan has a drug that completely eradicates it, what does that an?
If Ye Fan were to give the formula to any of the alliances, that alliance would use it to beco the leader among the Six Major Alliances.
The global landscape would shift once more, and Ye Fan himself would beco Humanity’s savior…
That is to say, Ye Fan could essentially determine the future direction of the world!
“Since you were able to develop both a resistant and an eradication drug for the Destroy virus, the matter of prolonging my life should be legitimate, right?”
After the shock, and recalling what Chu Ji had ntioned at the ICU entrance, Ye Yuanshan grew sowhat excited; he could let go of the splendid world and even Huaxia’s most prominent identity and status, but he couldn’t bear to see the Ye Family decline—as long as he lived, the Ye Family would not fall!
“That depends on your sincerity,” Ye Fan responded cryptically, yet more convincingly.
“What do you want?” Ye Yuanshan asked directly.
“First, the Ye Family Camp must at all costs ensure my father ascends to the Red Summit!
Second, expel Ye Wenhai and his family from the Ye Family!” Ye Fan said coldly, his tone leaving no room for doubt.
Whoosh!
Ye Zhen’s expression changed.
Ye Yuanshan faltered and said, “The first point is no problem, but the second point…”
“You have no room to negotiate terms!”
Ye Fan stated emotionlessly, “Besides, I advise you to agree before I change my mind.”
“I…
I agree!”
As if fearing Ye Fan might retract his offer, Ye Yuanshan quickly nodded in agreent.
As the conversation ended, he couldn’t help but exchange glances with Ye Zhen, as if questioning each other: Had the Ye Family not severed ties with Ye Fan earlier and discarded Ye Wenhao as a sacrificial piece, but instead spared no effort to protect the father and son, and had the Ye Family revealed this formula themselves, their camp would not have fallen into its current beleaguered state!
Conversely, no force, including the Bai Family, could have shaken the Ye Family Camp!
But—
They knew there are no ifs in this world.
They also knew that there are no regrets dicine for sale.
Regretting the past!
That was their most genuine reflection at this mont.
