Returning to 84, hunting for wealth, one person feeding three families.

Ye Chen's personality has always been to repay even the smallest kindness with the greatest gratitude, but if someone offends him, Ye Chen will absolutely not show any mercy.

Luo Guanzhong was indeed a clever man, knowing that the only connection between the two was Luo Ling.

But he shouldn't have, absolutely shouldn't have, used Luo Ling as an excuse to blackmail her at this moment!

Such a statement was tantamount to touching Ye Chen's sore spot!

"Yes, yes, I shouldn't have said that!"

Upon seeing Ye Chen's words, Luo Guanzhong immediately realized he had misspoke and quickly apologized.

At the same time, he pleaded, "Ye Chen, please help me! If we don't have the money this time, the Luo family is probably finished!"

"Uncle Luo, let's not rush this. We're practically family now. You've come all this way, I should treat you well!"

Ye Chen remained calm and unhurried, directly offering to decline: "How about this, I'll cook for you myself, and you can have lunch here first."

"We can talk about it in detail when Luo Ling returns!"

Upon hearing the name Luo Ling, Luo Guanzhong's expression changed drastically, and he even felt a surge of anger.

Ye Chen clearly has the ability to help me, yet he has refused me time and time again.

Does she really think she has a good temper?

"Ye Chen, I'll just ask you one question. You said yourself that we're family, and if family is in trouble, will you help or not?"

"Uncle Luo, since you've brought this up, I'll just get straight to the point!"

Ye Chen remained neither humble nor arrogant, truthfully revealing his innermost thoughts.

"Uncle Luo, in my opinion, you may not have a talent for business. Being scammed by the Zhang family this time is the best proof of that!"

"My money didn't come from thin air. If I were to waste it for you, I'd be the one who suffers!"

"I can afford it, but you have to agree to two conditions. Once you agree, everything will be fine!"

Seeing that there was still room for maneuver, Luo Guanzhong's expression improved, and he immediately asked further questions.

"Tell me, what exactly do you want to do?"

"It's very simple, Uncle Luo. First, you have to give me an IOU, clearly stating how much money you borrowed and the latest repayment date."

Ye Chen revealed his pre-planned idea: "As for the interest, I can forgo it; after all, we're family!"

"Furthermore, you must transfer half of these factories to Luo Ling and place them under her name!"

"If you agree to these two conditions, I'll give you the money immediately, without wasting your time!"

Ye Chen said this mainly for future considerations.

Based on Luo Guanzhong's actions, it is enough to prove that the other party simply did not have the ability to maintain a business empire.

Rather than watching Luo Jia suffer a humiliating defeat in his hands, it would be better to take this opportunity to let Luo Ling take over.

In this way, even if Luo Guanzhong insists on his own way and loses money, at least Luo Ling's factories can still be saved!

This can be considered as leaving the Luo family a way out!

Ye Chen's worries, however, were interpreted by Luo Guanzhong as a scheme!

"You brat, you clearly have your eye on the Luo family's assets and are trying to swindle them from Luo Ling using this method. Let me tell you, you're dreaming!"

"You just wait. Once Luo Ling gets back, I'll expose your true colors in front of her, and then Luo Ling will definitely leave you!"

Luo Guanzhong immediately turned hostile, his face contorted with rage, and began to accuse him.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen sneered and retorted with a question.

"Uncle Luo, if you had shown this kind of attitude when facing the Zhang family, you wouldn't have lost every penny of that money!"

"You should know better than I what the market is for clivia these days. If you had just persisted back then, would things be like this now?"

"You're timid and weak-willed with outsiders, never daring to say a harsh word, yet you come here to bully me?"

At the end of his speech, Ye Chen stood up and ordered the guests to leave.

"Uncle Luo, if you think I said anything wrong, you can leave now!"

"Perhaps you could ask the Zhang family if they're willing to help you through this difficult time!"

Luo Guanzhong stood there, his hands clenched into fists, his face contorted with worry for a long time.

He stared intently at Ye Chen's cold face!

For a moment, the two sides were locked in a standoff, as if the air itself had frozen in time!

After a good ten seconds, Luo Guanzhong shook his head and sighed, still stubbornly insisting on his position.

"Ye Chen, please help me just this once?"

"I, Luo Guanzhong, am a man of some standing, and you are, after all, my junior. I've already put myself in this position; do you really expect me to bow my head?"

"Uncle Luo, you earn your reputation, you don't let others give it to you!"

Ye Chen's expression was icy, and he immediately retorted.

"You keep calling yourself an elder, but ever since Luo married into our family, have you ever cared about her?"

"All you ever think about is how to break us up. Tell me honestly, have you ever supported me in the slightest?"

"I was the one who told you the information, wanting you to plant this seed for money, but you didn't believe me and secretly found someone to cooperate with. Now you've been scammed, who can you blame?"

"Don't think I don't know what you're up to. Befriending the Zhang family is clearly a way to hedge your bets. When I'm no longer capable, you'll just marry your daughter into the Zhang family!"

"You... I didn't think that way, don't talk nonsense!" Luo Guanzhong said angrily, embarrassed by his thoughts being exposed.

Ye Chen, too lazy to waste words, went straight to the point: "Uncle Luo, what you think is none of my business. Anyway, that's all I'll say!"

"Both of these conditions are indispensable. If you agree to either one, I'll help you!"

"If you can't accept that, then I can only apologize!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Guanzhong finally lowered his head, his expression dejected. On the surface, he appeared to be repentant, but in his heart, a storm was raging.

This city is absolutely outrageous!

I've tried to reason with him, both kind and harsh, but doesn't he know how to back down?

Making so many unreasonable demands is just a way to seize the Luo family's assets!

Even if I'm forced to my death today, I absolutely cannot bow my head!

"Ye Chen, since you've put it this way, then we have nothing more to say!"

"Just you wait and see!"

Finally, Luo Guanzhong uttered a harsh remark and turned to leave.

Watching the other person's departing figure, Ye Chen's pupils showed a hint of coldness!

"Haitao, keep an eye on him for me! If he contacts the Zhang family, tell me immediately!"

Seeing that Luo Guanzhong had made a minor mistake, Ye Chen shouted at the top of his lungs, and the next second, a shadow rushed out from outside the courtyard and followed Luo Guanzhong!

"My father-in-law is extremely biased towards the Zhang family. Now that I've rejected him, he might just go after the Zhang family!"

"It's best to have Haitao keep an eye on him for now, just in case something really bad happens!"
