593 That Was Self-Defense, Okay?
Zhao Fulin’s words shocked everyone.
It sounded nice to say that he wanted to make peace, but in fact, it was no different from begging for mercy.
They couldn’t believe that this was coming from Zhao Fulin’s mouth.
The Zhao family was the number one family in Yang Cheng.
Zhao Fulin was the first heir of the Zhao family.
With such a status, he actually came to Ye Chengze to beg for mercy?
Even Ye Chengze himself did not believe it. “You, the dignified Young Master Zhao, are here to ask for peace with me? Are you kidding me?”
Wei Changfeng also stood up and sneered. “Mr. Zhao, aren’t you overacting? Are you guys acting together?”
Ye Chengze heard his reminder and looked at Luo Jingyuan, Chen Qiushan, and Hu Renyu.
There was indeed something fishy about this matter.
These people were all Ye Feng’s core members, but now they were all submitting to him.
He was happy just now and didn’t think too much about it.
At this time, even Zhao Fulin came to him, which made him suspicious.
Zhao Fulin smiled bitterly at his question.
“Brother Ye… No, Young Master Ye, I’m not afraid of losing face. Actually… Our Zhao family has long been strong on the outside but weak on the inside. It’s all relying on our Old Master to maintain it. Now the old man’s body is in the midst of the battle.”
“Sigh, our Zhao family is in a very difficult situation.”
Ye Chengze did not refute his words.
Of course, he knew that the Zhao family was maintained by Old Master Zhao alone, and he also knew that Old Master Zhao was critically ill.
Many forces in Yang Cheng were waiting for the Old Master to die completely. Then, they could swarm up and divide the Zhao family.
Zhao Fulin looked at his face and continued: “Why did I rope Ye Feng in so much? Do you really think that I have a good relationship with him? That I treat him as a brother?”
Ye Chengze glanced at him. “Isn’t that so?”
Zhao Fulin immediately sneered, “I am the first heir of the Zhao family. He is just a kid from a small place. How can he call me brother?”
Ye Chengze looked at him without batting an eyelid. “Then why did you do it?”
Zhao Fulin revealed a sinister smile. “I wanted to build a good relationship with him and then take advantage of his surprise to take over his business and prolong the life of the Zhao family.”
“Hiss…”
When everyone present heard his words, they could not help but gasp.
This Zhao Fulin was too ruthless!
On the surface, they were brothers, but behind his back, he was plotting to seize his assets. It was simply a knife hidden in a smile.
Ye Chengze pondered for a moment and believed 70-80% of his words.
He had always been curious. Normally, people like Zhao Fulin would be very arrogant.
Why would he call Ye Feng, a bumpkin, brother?
Now that he heard his explanation, it immediately made sense.
So it was also to seize other people’s assets?
He looked at Zhao Fulin again. “What do you mean by telling me this?”
Zhao Fulin immediately showed a fawning expression. “I had already planned it, but I didn’t expect Young Master Ye to make a move ahead of time and send this kid to prison…”
Ye Chengze immediately glared at him unhappily. “Don’t spout nonsense. This kid killed people on purpose. He was the one who courted death. What has it got to do with me?”
Zhao Fulin nodded.
“Yes, yes, yes. He asked for it. It has nothing to do with you. What I mean is, when Young Master Ye is harvesting this kid’s assets, can you give our Zhao family a share of the profits? If you agree, when I inherit the position of the Zhao family’s head in the future, I will definitely follow the Ye family’s lead.”
When Ye Chengze heard his words, his eyes immediately turned.
A moment later, he immediately revealed a bright smile.
“Hahaha, Brother Fulin is too polite. What do you mean by share? Since you’ve been planning this for so long, how can I turn the tables on you? You can choose the businesses under Ye Feng. You can choose, and I will choose the rest.”
Zhao Fulin suddenly showed a surprised look. “Young Master Ye, please don’t say that. To be fair, we’ll split his business 50-50. You and I will split 50-50.”
Ye Chengze nodded happily: “Okay, that’s settled then. Brother Fulin, hurry up and take a seat.”
He turned to look at Wei Changfeng. “Changfeng, move to the back and let Brother Fulin sit here.”
Wei Changfeng’s face twitched, but he still stood up without saying a word and gave up a seat.
He had the highest status after Ye Chengze.
Now, with the arrival of Luo Jingyuan and Zhao Fulin, he had been pushed to a secondary position.
This kind of psychological disparity made him very unhappy.
Ye Chengze didn’t care about what he was thinking. He passionately pulled Zhao Fulin to sit beside him.
It was as if they had already forgotten the unpleasantness that had happened between the two of them a few days ago. They were like good brothers who had not seen each other for many days.
Zhao Fulin also looked flattered and toasted with Ye Chengze.
Although Ye Chengze appeared enthusiastic on the surface, he was actually sneering in his heart.
This fool, did he really think that he was his brother?
How could a family that was about to decline be on equal footing with him?
This was good too. First, he would let his guard down. When the time came, he would also reap the benefits of their Zhao family.
..
At the same time, Ye Feng was being questioned in the office.
“Name.”
“Ye Feng.”
“Age.”
“Twenty.”
“The gender.”
“It should be a man, right?”
Ye Feng smiled.
“I advise you to cooperate honestly and not play any tricks.” The officer sitting opposite him had a serious expression.
“I’m already like this. What else can I do?” Ye Feng lifted the handcuffs on his wrists. He had a helpless expression.
“First, explain the process of your crime in detail.” The official was still doing his job.
“Comrade, I don’t like what you’re saying. What do you mean by the crime process? That was self-defense, okay?” Ye Feng immediately cried out.
