Chapter 1148 Ye Family Second Master Ye Wenwu
Ye Wenyuan was like a cat whose tail was stepped on. His face changed drastically. He quickly waved his hands to deny it and argued in a hurried tone:
"Nephew Lu, you've misunderstood! My word is mine!"
"After learning the news last night, I ordered all forces of the Ye family to arrest Ye Tian at all costs!"
"If he's alive, I want to see him. If he's dead, I want to see his body! On this point, nephew Lu, you can trust me completely!"
"The family meeting is just for the handover procedures of those two projects... After all, it involves too many aspects and requires coordination..." He tried to make his expression look sincere.
Lu Feng stared at Ye Wenyuan for a few seconds, his eyes seemed to see through his soul.
In the end, the contemptuous arc at the corner of Lu Feng's mouth deepened, but he did not continue to ask.
He slowly stood up, no longer looking at Ye Wenyuan, whose face was pale, but turned to Shen Muyun and Li Zhengjun:
"My two uncles, since Patriarch Ye has said that we need to hold a meeting and discuss matters, and that it will take half a day, then let's go. Sitting here doing nothing will not help."
Upon hearing this, Shen Muyun and Li Zhengjun also stood up immediately.
Shen Muyun walked in front of Ye Wenyuan. His not-so-tall figure brought a huge sense of oppression.
He stared at Ye Wenyuan, his eyes as cold as a knife, and his voice was low: "Ye Wenyuan, half a day. I hope you can come up with the real results of the 'negotiation'."
"It's best not to play any tricks... otherwise, you know the consequences very well." The unspoken meaning was full of the threat of impending disaster.
"Yes, yes, yes! Don't worry, Brother Shen! Don't worry, Brother Li! Don't worry, Nephew Lu!"
Ye Wenyuan nodded repeatedly, his attitude extremely humble, almost guaranteeing, "I will never dare to play tricks! I will give you an explanation in half a day!"
Lu Feng said no more, took the lead and walked out calmly.
Shen Muyun glanced at Ye Wenyuan coldly and followed closely. Li Zhengjun also shook his head and followed.
The heavy footsteps gradually faded away, and the heavy door of the living room closed again, blocking out all sounds from the outside world.
Ye Wenyuan was the only one left in the huge living room.
The momentum he had just maintained collapsed in an instant, as if all his strength had been drained from him, and he slumped back into the armchair.
His face was ashen, and his eyes were filled with humiliation, anger, pain and a deep sense of powerlessness.
In the empty living room, the only sounds left were his heavy and suppressed breathing and his gloomy face that looked like it was about to drip with water.
He stared intently at the spot where Lu Feng had just sat, as if he wanted to stare through the chair. His fists clenched so tightly that they made a crackling sound, his nails digging deep into his palms.
After several minutes, he suddenly stood up from the chair, his movements filled with suppressed violence.
He quickly took out his cell phone, his fingers trembling slightly from the exertion, and dialed a number.
When the call was connected, Ye Wenyuan's voice was hoarse and cold, filled with the breath of a storm about to come. Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth:
"Immediately! Gather all core members and leaders of each branch! In half an hour, we'll have an emergency meeting at the family ancestral hall! No one is allowed to be absent!"
Just as Ye Wenyuan was gathering his clansmen to prepare for a meeting, Lu Feng and the other two had already left the Ye residence by car.
The rear space of the Maybach is spacious and quiet, isolated from the noise outside the car.
The vehicle was driving smoothly, but the interior was filled with a solemnity different from that of the Ye family's living room.
Li Zhengjun was the first to break the silence. He turned slightly and looked at Lu Feng, who was sitting in the middle. There was a subtle worry between his brows:
"Xiaofeng, those conditions you just mentioned...are they too...?"
He carefully chose his words, "What if Ye Wenyuan is pushed into a corner and really agrees to it? Although those two projects are extremely valuable, compared to the entire foundation of the Ye family, it may not be impossible for Ye Wenyuan to cut his losses."
Although Shen Muyun, who was sitting on the other side, did not say anything, he looked at Lu Feng and obviously had the same doubts.
After all, the Ye family is one of the four major families with a profound foundation. When it comes to the moment of life and death, they may have the courage to cut off their own arms.
If Ye Wenyuan really agreed, would Lu Feng's subsequent plans be affected?
Facing the doubts of the two elders, Lu Feng smiled gently. That smile contained a calmness that seemed to show he understood everything and a confidence that he was in control of the overall situation.
"Uncle Jun, don't worry,"
Lu Feng's voice was calm and firm, "Ye Wenyuan... definitely won't agree to that."
"In other words, even if he wanted to agree after a personal struggle, the Ye family would never agree."
"Oh? Why do you think so?" Shen Muyun raised an eyebrow and asked, "Though those two projects are crucial to the Ye family and are the core engines of the future, with the accumulation of hundreds of years of inheritance in the Ye family, they won't cause any serious damage. At most, they will cause a significant loss of vitality."
"And with Ye Wenyuan's prestige within the Ye family, which he has built up over the years, it might not be impossible for him to suppress the opposition."
Hearing this, Lu Feng nodded, agreeing with Shen Muyun's analysis: "Uncle is right. Just considering those two projects and Ye Wenyuan's personal prestige, it is indeed not enough to leave him completely helpless."
"But..." He changed the subject, his eyes becoming sharp and meaningful. "He can suppress others, he can suppress the mouths of the elders and side branches of the Ye family, but can he suppress his own brother - Ye Wenwu?"
"Ye Wenwu?" Li Zhengjun and Shen Muyun exclaimed almost in unison, with a look of understanding and surprise on their faces.
"You mean... Ye Wenwu will take the opportunity to cause trouble?" Shen Muyun reacted immediately, his eyes solemn.
Strictly speaking, these people are all of the same generation, and they still have a deep impression of Ye Wenwu.
"good."
Lu Feng affirmed, "Ye Wenwu is a man of great ambition. As a high-ranking official (the top official in Eastern Province), he is never satisfied with the status quo.
"His goal is probably to go one step further and become someone like Uncle Zhengguo."
"And to reach that level, relying solely on his own abilities is not enough. He needs the entire Ye family as the strongest and most obedient backing."
"In other words, he must become the head of the Ye family!"
Lu Feng's voice was calm, but it revealed the most acute contradiction within the Ye family:
"Ye Wenyuan is his biggest stumbling block."
"The two have been fighting openly and covertly for years, and Ye Wenwu has always been unwilling to be inferior to the other."
"He has been waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to completely bring Ye Wenyuan down."
Shen Muyun frowned slightly when he heard this: "That being said, I also know something about Ye Wenwu."
"He is certainly ambitious, but he also has a broad perspective."
"At a time when the Ye family is facing such a severe external crisis and needs to unite to face the outside world, he shouldn't be so stupid as to jump out and cause internal strife at this time, right?"
"Wouldn't this just make the loved ones sad and the enemies happy? Isn't he afraid that the Ye family will fall apart and his political future will be completely ruined?"
