Chapter 104 See the Last Time

Every large enterprise has some shady accounts, and casually leaking a few could lead to disastrous consequences.

And the documents in Chi Ye’s hands were all the most top-secret files of the Chi family, known only to Chi Xiangqin alone.

Chi Xiangqin’s long-held high position was finally destroyed, his face twisting with a contorted expression as he rebuked:

“You’re insane! For a man, you’re dragging the entire Chi family to the grave! I raised you with such difficulty only for you to defy me like this?”

As people age, their height shrinks somewhat. Chi Ye stood before Chi Xiangqin, coldly looking down at him, his eyes devoid of warmth.

The old man, entering his twilight years, was outwardly strong but inwardly weak, relying on medication to maintain a seemingly healthy appearance.

Chi Ye had thought he was still young and could outlive Chi Xiangqin to gain freedom.

However, Chi Xiangqin should never have touched his treasure.

“You touched what’s most important to me, so I’ll destroy what you care about most. That’s fair.”

The reason he agreed to break up with Su Shi last time was because he didn’t have enough leverage to shake Chi Xiangqin.

Chi Ye had followed Chi Xiangqin in and out of the Chi family’s company since he was a child, deeply understanding the balance between revealing one’s edge and concealing one’s clumsiness.

He both satisfied Chi Xiangqin and prevented the other from becoming wary.

Chi Ye’s methods were all taught by Chi Xiangqin himself. In a way, he had to thank Chi Xiangqin’s wolf-training education, which made Chi Ye cold, rational, and even ruthless, surpassing his teacher.

But now, he was still one step too late.

This year’s Chinese New Year was supposed to be an opportunity. Chi Ye was confident he could force Chi Xiangqin to hand over the Chi family’s power. If he refused, he would use underhanded methods to make him agree.

But Su Shi came over during the Spring Festival, causing Chi Ye to become immersed in the tenderness of love, postponing the plan against Chi Xiangqin again and again.

Chi Ye was filled with regret.

Who would have thought that Chi Xiangqin was, after all, a man who had dominated the business world for a lifetime? He smiled coldly:

“If you destroy the Chi family’s foundation, you won’t get anything either.”

“I don’t care. I just want Su Shi.”

Chi Xiangqin didn’t know why his genes were so bad, his son and grandson both becoming love-struck.

“You’re penniless, do you think he’ll like you? Isn’t he just looking at your surname Chi? Otherwise, would he even give you a second glance?”

Chi Ye said confidently, “He will. He likes me as a person.”

“Useless thing, all you know is love this and love that.” Chi Xiangqin’s eyes flashed fiercely: “If I don’t tell you, do you dare to kill your grandfather?”

Chi Ye clenched his fists even tighter, his chest heaving violently.

Now that things had reached this point, there was no turning back. He might as well go all out and say the words that would stab Chi Xiangqin’s heart the most:

“Back then, you forced Grandma away, then you forced my parents to their deaths. Now you want to force me to my death too. Chi Xiangqin, you’ve done too many evil deeds in your life, you’ll definitely go to hell.”

Chi Xiangqin never engaged in internal conflict, always blaming others for everything.

He was like this with Chi Ye’s grandmother, and like this with Chi Ye’s parents, always believing he was not at fault.

Chi Ye looked at Chi Xiangqin coldly, passing judgment on him:

“Do you think I don’t know? Back then, you sent people to force the car my parents were in to stop, causing the car accident. You personally killed your own son!”

This had always been Chi Xiangqin’s greatest pain deep in his heart. Although he refused to admit it, whenever he thought about it, his intestines turned green with regret.

He couldn’t remember how many midnights he’d dreamt of seeing Chi Shen crawling out of the wrecked car, covered in blood, demanding his life.

Again and again he asked, “Dad, why did you harm me and Shuran? Why did you harm our child?”

Chi Xiangqin felt guilty and was always startled awake, then unable to fall asleep again.

Over time, his body deteriorated.

He had thought it was a failure of education that had produced a useless character like Chi Shen.

So with Chi Ye, he changed to a completely opposite educational approach, thinking it would be different, but he never expected this.

When it came to emotions, he was just as unclear-headed.

Chi Xiangqin felt he was truly a failure, unable to raise a descendant as ruthless as himself.

But even the most unsatisfactory son was still his own son, even a tiger wouldn’t eat its cubs.

After Chi Ye’s reminder, the image of Chi Shen covered in blood reappeared before his eyes, walking towards him with twisted limbs.

Chi Shen was still naive, still saying the same thing, “Dad, why did you harm me and Shuran? Why did you harm our child?”

“I didn’t, I didn’t.”

No one knew that Chi Xiangqin’s inner demon was actually his own son.

Fear caused his drooping eyelids to be propped up by his bulging eyeballs, which were covered in red blood vessels.

He suddenly couldn’t catch his breath, his face flushed red, and he clutched his chest, coughing violently.

The coughing sounded like he was about to cough up his lungs, as if he would die in the next second.

The dragon-head cane, a symbol of his distinguished status, finally fell to the ground with a “clunk.”

A generation of heroes, old and frail!

Afterward, Chi Xiangqin seemed to lose all his strength, collapsing lifelessly to the ground, looking like a withered piece of wood.

Chi Ye squatted down, looking without expression at the source of his nightmares since childhood, and asked softly, “Tell me, where is Su Shi?”

Chi Xiangqin’s voice was as faint as a mosquito’s, uttering one word at a time. Chi Ye put his ear very close to barely hear him clearly.

Pearl Tower, three words.

So, Chi Ye turned around without hesitation, only to see Xu Chongming standing at the door with wide eyes, his eyes full of fear.

Chi Ye’s Rakshasa-like appearance had really frightened Xu Chongming, once again refreshing Xu Chongming’s understanding of Chi Ye.

It seemed that Chi Ye had indeed shown him mercy before.

Chi Ye didn’t care how much Xu Chongming had heard, his mind only on Su Shi. Passing by Xu Chongming, he casually said:

“Why are you here? I don’t have time to deal with you now.”

Xu Chongming hurried to catch up with Chi Ye, “You’re going to find Su Shi, right? I’ll go with you.”

Chi Ye pushed Xu Chongming away, the coldness rising in his eyes chilling to the bone, “Get out of the way. I’m his boyfriend, it’s not your turn to go.”

Xu Chongming grabbed Chi Ye forcefully and said solemnly, “I just received a message about Su Shi, take a look.”

After Xu Chongming answered the phone call from Chi Ye, he still felt uneasy, so he drove to the Chi family to find Chi Ye, wanting to ask more clearly.

On the way, he discovered this message. Xu Chongming felt a chill run through his body. He dialed the number back, but it showed that the other party had turned off their phone.

At this time, the car was almost at the entrance of the Chi family, so he wanted to discuss it with Chi Ye first.

After all, Chi Ye was a local and knew the situation here better, so he would be more confident.

After Chi Ye finished reading the message on Xu Chongming’s phone, he opened the door and got into the car, glancing at him and saying, “Get in the car quickly.”

Xu Chongming opened the passenger seat and plopped down.

This was the first time in so long that the two brothers had worked together so unitedly.

The message was sent from an unknown number, with an address and a sentence:

【Ming-ge, Su Shi is in my hands. If you come now, you can still see him one last time】
