C4 Once upon a Time the Wealthy Class
"It's been a long time since I've felt such warmth from the sun."
After exiting the hotel, Ye Donghan walked on the wide streets of Jiangning. It was almost noon, and the warm winter sunlight slanted down from the sky, softening the cold lines of Ye Donghan's jaw.
It had been twelve years, but Jiangning had long changed. It no longer looked like it did in his memories.
However, there was an absolute sense of familiarity with this seemingly unfamiliar city, causing the coldness in Ye Donghan's heart to dissipate quite a bit.
"Boss."
A figure quickly walked over from behind him.
"How did the matter go?"
Ye Donghan did not look back as he continued to size up the Jiangning that they had parted for twelve years.
"Once this matter has been settled, we have already informed the locals. The matter of Boss coming to Jiangning is prohibited from the upper echelons, so it definitely won't alarm the place. It was just that the Su and Li Family did not do anything regarding Han Weiye. Obviously, what happened just now had reached their ears. Now, the Su, Li and Han families have already started shrinking their businesses a minute ago, and some of their peers seem to be involved as well. "
"Boss, do you want us to …"
Lee Dong rubbed his hands and reported in detail behind Ye Donghan.
"This is a small matter!"
Ye Donghan waved his hand, stopping Lee Dong from continuing.
He naturally knew what Lee Dong was going to say.
The moment he came back, he chopped off the head of the Han family Patriarch Han Weiye, causing a huge commotion. It was laughable that the Li and Su Families would definitely try their best to contract their businesses, giving them a chance at survival.
Ye Donghan had planned to kill the entire Su, Li, and Han families in one night when he returned.
That wouldn't trouble him.
However, Ye Donghan was clear about it.
Of course he had to personally take revenge. However, to clear up the debt, it was even more important to destroy the heart.
What's more …
Since he, Ye Donghan, dared to let Han Hai pass the message to Su and Li Family in public, he wasn't afraid of them running away. Among all the participants in the Ye family massacre that day, one of them couldn't escape his grasp.
"Yes, your subordinate was overthinking it." How could the methods of the boss be something that the small clan with Jiangning could only imagine? As long as we release any rumors, even if it's just a few words, and the boss personally appears in front of us but is killed twelve years ago, I'm afraid they'll have to deliver their own heads to our doorstep. "
"Boss, since this matter has been resolved, let's get down to business. I'm not interested in the matter at all."
Lee Dong chuckled as he flattered her.
"Brat …" Ye Donghan laughed.
To ordinary people, the three Wealthy Classes in Jiangning were indeed high and mighty, but in the eyes of these brothers of theirs, it was just a small matter that couldn't even be considered a small matter, and was extremely boring.
"Oh yeah, boss, there's one more thing."
Lee Dong smoked a cigarette and put it in his mouth. He blew out a cloud of smoke and then said seriously." Old Chen had just returned with a message from his boss, saying that there was news about Zhou family. Twelve years ago, when Ye family was in the midst of a massacre, the three families of Su, Li, and Han suffered consecutive difficulties and the industrial chain similarly suffered heavy losses.
"Today, there isn't even a single item in the entire Zhou family industry, so your days have passed … "It's very difficult."
Lee Dong hesitated for a while, afraid that he would accidentally hear Ye Donghan's thunderous anger.
Sure enough.
"Zhou family..."
Ye Donghan stopped and squinted his eyes.
Lee Dong, who was familiar with Ye Donghan, knew that it was the sign that Boss Ye was about to get angry. Wu Tie shrunk his neck and retreated two steps less, afraid that he would be caught in the crossfire. However, he did not move for a long time. Ye Donghan, who was standing in front of him, shook his head without saying a word, as a look of reminiscence appeared in his eyes.
In the past, other than Su Liu, Wei, Ye and the other two families of the five Wealthy Classes, and Ye family, the rest of them were Zhou family.
Twelve years ago, Ye Donghan was not even fifteen, but he was still just a teenager.
From what he could remember, the Su Lee Han family had a close relationship with Ye family. At that time, the patriarch of Ye family was Ye Donghan's father, so it could be said that half of the credit for the rise of the Su Lee Han family was for Ye family.
But in terms of intimacy, Zhou family and Ye family were the closest.
It was just that for some reason, the relationship between Ye family and the latter became very stiff, to the point where the relationship was cold and the old people did not interact at all.
The only person who had a good relationship with Ye Donghan was a nephew with Zhou family.
But what no one had expected was that when the bloody case of Ye family occurred, within a night, all of the Ye family were plotted against by the three families, and the building was overturned.
Only the one and only Zhou family was unfair to the Ye family.
And it was also because of this that the Zhou family was actually pushed aside by the combined efforts of the Su, Li, and Han Clans. The Zhou family, which used to be part of the five Wealthy Classes, was actually affected because of their righteous words that day.
"Let's go!"
Ye Donghan thought for a while and got into the car.
Not long after, the car stopped. Ye Donghan got off and discovered that Lee Dong had parked the car outside a remote alley in the northern suburbs of Jiangning. The alley was narrow, too narrow for traffic, surrounded by run-down low doors.
Ye Donghan glanced over. He paused for a second and suspicion flashed across his eyes. However, Ye Donghan did not ask.
He knew very well that the information Lee Dong gave him was accurate.
At this moment, a few children jumped out of the alley with candy in hand. Ye Donghan's sharp eyes swept across one of the children who was holding an invitation card. Ye Donghan waved his hand and stopped a child.
"Little friend, uncle is asking you, does old man Zhou Haisheng live here?"
"Yeah, uncle, you know that stubborn old man from Old Zhou family. You go inside, the one in the back. Uncle, if you want to attend their birthday party, then don't go. Their family is so stingy that they don't even give out candy. "
The child grumbled as he caught up to his companion.
Stubborn old man?
The image of the Zhou family Old Man surfaced in Ye Donghan's mind, and he couldn't help but laugh.
He was a stubborn and stubborn old man, which fit Ye Donghan's image very well. Ye Donghan remembered Old Master Zhou's age, he should be eighty years old.
However...
It was his eightieth birthday and he didn't even send out any candy, yet his Zhou family had actually fallen to such a state?
He knew that life in the Zhou family wouldn't be easy.
However, he did not expect things to be this bad.
Ye Donghan was silent for a moment. Then, he sent a message and walked towards the child's direction.
Zhou family was indeed hosting a birthday banquet.
As the saying goes, having an old man in your family is like having a treasure. The eightieth birthday, no matter which family it was placed in, was a joyous occasion to celebrate. It was just that compared to the magnificent wealth of Han family's celebration, where the guests were all famous, Zhou family Old Man Zhou Haisheng's birthday feast was unquestionably much more shabby.
The entrance hall of the Zhou family Academy was quiet, and the people of Zhou family who were running inside had hurried expressions. Although they tried their best to force out a smile, they could not hide the loneliness in their eyes.
Outside the courtyard.
A little old man with a dried face and dressed in a bright red robe was squatting on his front teeth and puffing on a pipe.
He seemed to be smoking very hard, or maybe the tobacco was too choking.
The little old man started to cough violently.
"Dry smoke isn't good for your health. Old Master Zhou is too old, he would probably live to be a hundred if he smokes less. Wouldn't it be a beautiful occasion to hold the Hundred Years' Birthday Banquet then? "
Ye Donghan stopped beside the old man and said with a smile.
