Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1283 - 1258: The Unexpected Happens

Ye Chen looked at Uncle Qiang behind him, feeling he had been sowhat careless.

He was so eager to answer the phone just now that he didn’t notice soone was following him.

The words he had just exchanged with Zhou Susu were likely overheard by Uncle Qiang.

Before Ye Chen could say anything, Uncle Qiang spoke, "Mr. Ye, you don’t have to worry. I’ll go to the police station and turn myself in right now."

"Uncle Qiang, really, you don’t have to. I’ve already discussed it with Susu, you just focus on taking care of the elders." Ye Chen waved his hand and said.

"Mr. Ye, you can’t fool . I’ve already heard the conversation between you two." Uncle Qiang directly exposed Ye Chen’s lie.

"I said you don’t have to, and I’ll handle things with Susu." Ye Chen said sternly.

The old lady just had surgery, and this is when she needs family the most. If Uncle Qiang leaves now, it will surely put her in a bad mood, which is not conducive to her recovery.

Ye Chen has a soft heart and finds it hard to speak up.

Even though he heard what Uncle Qiang said, he still felt reluctant, and the thought made his heart ache.

"Mr. Ye, I know your intentions are good, but I’ve broken the law and should face legal consequences." Uncle Qiang said with righteous conviction.

"I understand that, but if you leave now, I’m afraid it will affect the old lady’s mood." Ye Chen voiced his concerns.

"Mr. Ye, seeing the surgery was a success, I am at ease now. It’s inevitable that I’ll leave her sooner or later; it’s better for it to happen sooner. We’ll just tell her the Group wants to head to the Kyoto Branch imdiately. She won’t suspect anything, and she hopes I can achieve sothing anyway." Uncle Qiang said with a smile.

Since Uncle Qiang put it that way, Ye Chen could no longer argue.

"Alright then, Uncle Qiang, make sure you’ve thought this through. Once you’re at the police station, you can’t co back." Ye Chen reminded him.

"Mr. Ye, I’ve thought it over thoroughly these past few days. Whatever led down this wrong path is unforgivable. Everyone must pay for their wrongdoings." Uncle Qiang maintained a smile as he spoke.

His only concern had already been resolved with Ye Chen’s help. Now, apart from worrying about his mother, he had nothing else to fear.

"Uncle Qiang, it’s good that you’ve thought it through." Ye Chen nodded and said.

Uncle Qiang suddenly spoke up, "Mr. Ye, I have one more request."

"Uncle Qiang, don’t be like this. Just say it directly. We’ve known each other for so long, no need to be formal with ." Ye Chen quickly said.

"My mother has only as her family. After I’m gone, I hope Mr. Ye can help take care of her. After all, she’s old, and she needs soone to look after her. Because of my mistakes, I can’t be there for her or provide her a proper send-off. Please help fulfill this wish." Uncle Qiang pleaded earnestly.

"Uncle Qiang, rest assured, even if you hadn’t asked, I would have done it. I’ll take care of things for the elder." Ye Chen promised sincerely.

"Thank you, Mr. Ye. I owe you so much. In this life, I have nothing to offer in return. In the next life, I’d be willing to serve you in any capacity." Uncle Qiang said gratefully.

The more Uncle Qiang spoke this way, the more uncomfortable Ye Chen felt inside. He had promised Uncle Qiang that he would take him to turn himself in after the elder had fully recovered, but things had unexpectedly turned out like this.

Seeing Ye Chen’s sowhat hesitant expression, Uncle Qiang smiled and said, "Mr. Ye, let’s not waste ti here; otherwise, my mother will get suspicious."

Ye Chen nodded without saying anything and walked towards the hospital room, with Uncle Qiang following behind.

Seeing her son and his boss return, the elderly lady looked at them and asked, "Ah-Qiang, what happened? Why does Boss Ye look unwell? Is he feeling alright?"

"No, Mom. The Group just learned your surgery is done and wants to head to the Kyoto Branch imdiately. Boss Ye thinks it’s a bit inappropriate." Uncle Qiang explained with a smile.

"Boss Ye, you’re too polite. Work is most important, and since my surgery is done, let Ah-Qiang go quickly, by all ans, not to delay work." The elder said.

In response, Ye Chen felt apologetic and said, "Ma’am, I’m really sorry. This is a last-minute decision by the Group, and I have no say in it."

The elder knew Ye Chen had gone out to take a call from the Group, so she relaxed.

She saw it as a good thing, nothing to apologize for.

"Boss Ye, no need to say that. I’m grateful to you. Without you, Ah-Qiang wouldn’t have had such a good opportunity." The elder said cheerfully.

Suddenly, Ye Chen felt a tightness in his chest, a wave of pain swept over him.

But he didn’t show it, fearing the elder might notice sothing.

"Then have a good rest, and let know if you need anything." Ye Chen said before leaving the room.

He knew the mother and son must have a lot to say, so he left the remaining ti for them.

Ye Chen didn’t wait at the door, fearing that eavesdropping on their conversation would make him feel even worse.

After a while, Uncle Qiang finished instructing his mother on so matters and walked out of the room.

"Mr. Ye, let’s go." Uncle Qiang said with a smile.

Ye Chen’s mood was heavy, not understanding why Uncle Qiang was doing this.

The two of them left the hospital in single file, headed to the parking lot, and got into the car.

Throughout the ride, Ye Chen didn’t say a word to Uncle Qiang, and the car’s atmosphere was extrely tense.

Understanding Ye Chen’s mood, Uncle Qiang also remained silent.

He was imnsely grateful for everything Ye Chen had done, but a simple "thank you" couldn’t express his feelings.

Yet, given his situation, there was nothing he could do for Ye Chen, so he chose to say nothing at all.

Zhou Susu in her office was feeling almost ready to explode from anger; she didn’t even know how to handle it.

She dialed Ye Chen’s number repeatedly, but he still didn’t pick up, which made her even more furious.

The car drove for a while and arrived at the entrance to the police station.

Ye Chen parked the car and walked towards the entrance with Uncle Qiang.

He didn’t go straight to Zhou Susu’s office but instead had soone notify her.

After all, Uncle Qiang was a criminal, and taking him directly into the office didn’t seem appropriate.

The fuming Zhou Susu heard a knock on the door from outside and called out, "Co in."

The young policewoman, frightened by Zhou Susu’s expression, said hesitantly, "Captain Zhou, there’s a man outside nad Ye Chen looking for you."

"Just in ti, I was about to look for him myself." Zhou Susu said as she stord out.
