Chapter 888 -888: Counter the Enemy
Age approached, lowering his voice, “Sir, shouldn’t we strike back now? In this election, Zhou Peng is the main rival of the second young master. Mr. Cao has been injured and hasn’t woken up, and it’s very likely that Zhou Peng is the one who poisoned him. Plus, with Zhou Peng hopping around so actively, we must show him some color.”
“The election is in three days, release the news the morning after tomorrow. Due to the urgency, Zhou Peng won’t have time to think of a countermeasure. That way, we can catch Zhou Peng off guard,” Ye Qilan said with a cold sneer curling his lips. “He probably thinks he has a great chance of winning this election, let him be smug for one more day.”
“In your opinion, sir, is it true that Mr. Cao being pushed down the stairs was Zhou Peng’s doing?” Age asked.
Because since the incident happened, Ye Qilan hadn’t troubled Zhou Peng about it, Age couldn’t figure out what Ye Qilan was really thinking.
“On the surface, it seems that Zhou Peng is the prime suspect in Cao Zhen’s accident, but that’s just the guard’s one-sided story. Besides the guard, we have no other physical or witness evidence,” Ye Qilan fell silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, “Where was Cao Shiyu at that time? Has anyone checked?”
Age’s heart chilled, “How could it be Cao Shiyu?”
After all, Cao Zhen was Cao Shiyu’s biological father, how could Cao Shiyu harm her own father?
“Having been through so much lately, Cao Shiyu has taught me a vivid lesson, never underestimate the ruthlessness of a woman.” Ye Qilan spoke indifferently, “Of course, I’m not saying that Cao Zhen’s accident is definitely related to Cao Shiyu.”
For now, Ye Shiqing’s election is what’s most important. With Cao Zhen in a coma for so long and not waking up, he might become a vegetable in the future.
Since the victim is unconscious and there was no further evidence at the time, all we can do is guess. We must investigate any suspicious person.
“I understand what you mean, sir. Not just Cao Shiyu, but Guan Ya needs to be checked too. Anyone who could enter and leave the Cao Family’s premises should be investigated to see if they were there that morning, even including the neighbors living nearby,” Age quickly grasped the meaning of Ye Qilan’s words.
Ye Qilan looked at Age, “These years, it’s been good having you by my side. Age, you’re not young anymore, take some time to find a woman to date, don’t miss out on your own life for my sake.”
Age’s expression turned slightly embarrassed, “Sir, I’m wooden and dull, no woman would like me.” 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝖕𝖚𝖇.𝖈𝔬𝔪
“Don’t be so self-effacing!” Ye Qilan gently rebuked.
Once the threat by his side was dealt with, he had to start arranging Age’s personal affairs. It had been so many years in the blink of an eye since Age had been following him.
That night, the news about Ye Xiandong messing around with two women at the hotel was the talk of the town.
When the old Mr. Ye learned about this, not only did he scold Ye Xiandong, but he also railed at Ye Ling and her husband Ye Peng till they were soaked in humiliation.
Of course, the most frustrated person was Ye Xiandong. He had clearly intended to set a trap for Ye Shiqing, but it turned out that he was counter-played by Ye Shiqing, and now he was the one covered in scandal headlines.
He had underestimated both Ye Qilan and Ye Shiqing, which led to Ye Shiqing humiliating him in such a manner.
Now that his scheme had failed, if Ye Shiqing was to win the election smoothly, he would become the official of Taicheng, and old Mr. Ye would certainly worship Ye Shiqing like a Buddha.
Moreover, Qiao Qiao and Ye Shiqing had long been linked. With Ye Shiqing’s support, Qiao Qiao will probably divorce him very soon, won’t she?
