Chapter 484
To be honest, Xu Tianlin didn't know Ye Xiaorou at all, so naturally he couldn't understand Ye Yunjie's words even more.
However, when he heard the word betrayal, he seemed to understand something.
"What, your sister has betrayed you?" Xu Tianlin laughed coldly, "That's really pathetic. A person who even betrayed his own sister, what face does he have to shout here?"
Xu Tianlin sighed and said directly, "To be honest, I don't know who your sister is, and even if she betrayed you, it's not me she's defecting to. So I advise you to be polite to me!"
"Not you?" Ye Yunjie suddenly froze for a moment and hurriedly pursued, "Who is it if not you? Didn't you say. Wasn't it you who was behind the matter of the City South project? If she wasn't compelled by you, who else could it be?"
Xu Tianlin snorted with laughter and shook his head, "Miss Ye, you are at least the general manager in charge of billions of assets, why are you so naive? Do you really think that I'm the only one behind something like taking out the City South project?"
At this point in time, Xu Tianlin simply did not have too many scruples and said bluntly, "The one your sister has defected to may be someone else, but I don't care a bit about your sister's death or survival, and it has nothing to do with me, the thing I care about. There is only one thing, and it is also the purpose of my coming here!"
Hearing Xu Tianlin's words, Ye Yunjie's heart instantly fell to the bottom of the valley.
This matter, there was someone else behind it besides the Xu family? Moreover, Ye Yunjie had thought that she was about to get news of her sister, but now it seemed that it had gone down the drain again.
"The person you are working with, who exactly is it?" Ye Yunjie asked directly, regardless of Xu Tianlin's words.
Xu Tianlin looked a little unhappy and gave Ye Yunjie a blank look, saying, "Why should I tell you? Who are you to interrogate me like this? What are you? A mere defeated general!"
Xu Tianlin's words completely enraged Ye Yunjie, and she suddenly jumped towards Xu Tianlin with a fierce leap, as agile as a flower cat. Before Xu Tianlin had time to react, she had already jumped on top of him and stuck one hand around his throat, while in Ye Yunjie's other hand, at some point, there was an extra butterfly knife.
Ye Yunjie's eyes showed an icy glint as she stared keenly at Xu Tianlin, who was pinned down by herself, and the butterfly knife in her other hand danced around in her palm, making a whistling sound.
This scene came so suddenly that it really scared Xu Tianlin. He shivered involuntarily and his whole body was instantly wet with cold sweat through his inner shirt.
"What ...... are you doing?" Xu Tianlin asked tremblingly.
He had never expected that Ye Yunjie would have such athletic body skills no matter what. So much so that before he could even see her movements clearly, the other party had already held himself down to death.
And looking at the butterfly knife that was on his neck and the coolness had already penetrated his whole body, Xu Tianlin was almost suffocating with fear.
"I ...... warned you not to mess around, huh? This ...... this ...... thing is very dangerous, you do not mess around, you quickly put it down ......"
Ye Yunjie didn't chance Xu Tianlin's words. Still looking at him coldly, he asked in a low tone, "I'm asking you for the last time, who exactly is that person!"
Xu Tianlin was completely terrified, but he remembered that Zhang Xiangyu had said to himself that his identity, was not to be revealed to others by half.
Only now that he was in danger. It seemed that Xu Tianlin couldn't care less, after all, it was important to stay alive.
As he looked at Ye Yunjie, he seemed to have sensed this woman's ferocious side.
He could tell that Ye Yunjie cared a lot about his sister, in case he really pissed her off because of her sister, wouldn't he die if Ye Yunjie's hand moved a little?
Xu Tianlin had no choice, if Ye Yunjie was as meek as a sheep, he would be a hungry wolf. And at this time Ye Yun-jae fiercely transformed into a fierce tiger, but he was not even a rabbit anymore.
"I ...... I say, I say. You quickly put down the knife first, this is not a joke." Xu Tianlin said while slowly pushing Ye Yunjie's butterfly knife from his neck with his fingertips.
But Ye Yunjie had no intention of moving the knife away. The butterfly knife once again spun around in her hand.
"With a whoosh, Xu Tianlin only felt a soreness at the tip of his finger, and then a hot stream instantly gushed out from his fingertips.
The butterfly knife then returned to its original position.
"Say!" Ye Yunjie asked coldly.
This time Xu Tianlin was considered completely desperate. Although he had only broken a fingertip, he was terrified, after all, that blade was just dangling in front of him. He could even feel the wind brought up by the blade.
"Say say say, I'll say I'll say." Xu Tianlin was completely abashed and hurriedly said, "I'll tell you all, I just know that person's name is Zhang Xiangyu, his identity seems to be very mysterious and he's also very rich, in fact, at first I didn't want to make a move on your City South project, it was this person who found me and gave me a financial support, so I did as I was told."
Chapter 485
"And all along, I've been following his instructions, he's the one who told me to do everything, so the mastermind behind everything that's happening in this ...... south of the city project is that Zhang Xiangyu, it has nothing to do with me."
Xu Tianlin directly took himself off the hook. But he had no choice but to do so, and at a time like this, he certainly felt it was important to stay alive.
Only the words that followed Xu Tianlin's words, Ye Yunjie didn't even bother to listen to them, because she seemed to have been completely stunned the moment she heard the name Zhang Xiangyu.
"So that's how it is ......," Ye Yunjie seemed to have figured out something all of a sudden. She silently let go of Xu Tianlin and instantly fell into deep thought.
The Jiang Hao at the side naturally also understood almost everything, because Ye Yunjie had but told herself. That Zhang Xiangyu was most likely someone from the overseas Chu family.
And the matter of the south of the city project, everything was behind this Zhang Xiangyu's shenanigans.
So that means that so many things that he had experienced were actually all a set up by the overseas Shen family?
Why would they do that? From his father's point of view, he was also half a relative of theirs, so how could they target him like that?
Jiang Hao couldn't figure it out and was even more puzzled as he glanced over at Ye Yunjie, only to find that Ye Yunjie's face was ugly, as if she was anticipating something terrible.
"Sister Ye? What's wrong with you." Jiang Hao asked in a soft voice.
Ye Yunjie sighed, and at this moment, something seemed to have dawned on her.
She couldn't help but give a cold laugh as she murmured faintly, "So that's how it is, so everything seems to make sense!"
Ye Yunjie's words left Jiang Hao in a cloud of confusion. He didn't understand what Ye Yunjie meant.
What made sense? How did it make sense that the Shen family overseas was plotting against him?
Did Ye Yunjie already know about this?
It was impossible, if Ye Yunjie knew about it, then why didn't she inform herself in advance?
On the contrary, she herself had become anxious because of this matter, as if she herself was not clear about this matter at all.
Jiang Hao was baffled, he wasn't sure what was actually going on with this matter, nor did he know what Ye Yunjie's talking to herself there actually meant.
Jiang Hao spoke softly to Ye Yunjie again, "Sister Ye? What's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well?"
Ye Yunjie looked at Jiang Hao, shook her head and said softly, "I'm fine, I'll explain it clearly to you later."
Ye Yunjie then looked at Xu Tianlin again, a touch of contempt in her eyes, and asked, "Say it doggy. It was that Zhang Xiangyu who told you to come, right? What exactly is the purpose of your coming here today with?"
Xu Tianlin looked stunned, he calmed down for a while, took a big breath and said, "He ...... asked me to come to talk to you about acquiring the south of the city project ......"
Before Xu Tianlin came, he thought he could proudly tell this matter to Ye Yunjie, but he didn't want to end up in such a mess himself.
However, once his words were out, Ye Yunjie snorted, "Acquiring the south of the city project? How much are you prepared to offer?"
Xu Tianlin hurriedly stood up from the sofa, straightened his suit, and said, "Eight ...... eight hundred million ......"
Xu Tianlin was a bit vain himself when he said this.
After all, he knew very well that billions of dollars had been invested in the city's south project so far. It is simply a fool's errand to try to take the City South project for eight hundred million of your own.
Not to mention buying the current project under construction, even if it is to buy this huge plot of land in the south of the city project. Apropos of that, eight hundred million was far from enough.
"Oh, eight hundred million? How dare you say that out loud?" Ye Yunjie shook her head with a bitter smile, as if she had heard a big joke in the sky.
If what had just happened had not happened, Xu Tianlin had no fear for Ye Yunjie, and Ye Yunjie dared to say such words, he would definitely dislike her directly. He would have been angry at Ye Yunjie for not knowing what was good and bad, and for not looking at the predicament they were in.
But now, Xu Tianlin wouldn't dare to kill himself.
The coolness of that butterfly knife just now still seemed to be swimming in his body.
He hurriedly said, "No, no, no. That ...... was all Zhang Xiangyu's words, of course I know it's unlikely!"
Ye Yunjie looked up and coldly glared at Xu Tianlin, suddenly shouting angrily, "Knowing that it's impossible, why are you still standing here? Are you waiting for me to invite you to dinner?"
With a cold cry, Ye Yunjie immediately scared Xu Tianlin and he hurriedly ran outside, and as he did so, he kicked the coffee table and almost fell to the ground.
Xu Tianlin also grimaced in pain, but he didn't care so much and rushed to escape.
As far as he was concerned, he was lucky to get back alive today. He was lucky to have made it back alive today.
After all, he had never expected that Ye Yunjie, who looked like a sexy girl, would have such powerful tricks up her sleeve.
It was true. If he had dared to resist or struggle, he would have died several times.
Xu Tianlin jogged all the way back to his car. By now he was already sweating profusely.
He didn't bother to wipe his sweat off and took a few big breaths, but the more he thought about it, the more humiliated he felt about what had just happened. He hammered the steering wheel, cursed angrily, started the car directly and left.
At this time, in the other side of Ye Yunjie's office, after Xu Tianlin left, Ye Yunjie was silent, and she paced around the room for a while without saying a word, as if she was thinking about something.
He had a lot of questions in his stomach at the moment and wanted Ye Yunjie to give him a satisfactory answer.
But where was Ye Yunjie? She was walking back and forth on her own, and her mouth seemed to be muttering something in a low voice, not paying any attention to herself.
In the end, Jiang Hao couldn't stand it anymore and hurriedly stopped Ye Yunjie, sighing, "Aiya Sister Ye, what's going on here, tell me? Why does this matter seem to involve the overseas Shen family again now? Isn't my dad the head of the Shen family?"
Jiang Hao was a bit confused, the Shen family couldn't possibly not know that their own father was behind this City South project, so why would they try every possible way to bring down the City South project?
Ye Yunjie stopped and looked at Jiang Hao, shaking her head slightly and said, "Jiang Shao, there are many things that perhaps only Mr. Shen can tell you, and there are many things that it is better for you not to know."
Ye Yunjie paused and continued, "In fact, the things in this world are far from what you see, what you see, may only be the surface, its inner workings then, or behind it, may make you feel sick and hairy!"
Chapter 486
Jiang Hao still felt clouded by Ye Yunjie's words, how could he feel hairy?
Jiang Hao shook his head, "Why can't I know something? What exactly are you and my father plotting?"
In fact, Jiang Hao had always been able to feel that Ye Yunjie seemed to have a big plan with his own father, and himself. Or rather this project in the south of the city, was just part of the plan.
But going a little deeper, Jiang Hao couldn't guess anyway.
Jiang Hao sometimes even felt that he was like a pawn, and a pawn who didn't know his own fate.
Jiang Hao sighed and continued, "I really want to know what your plan is. And what role I play, you can't just let me go on with you guys without knowing anything, can you? One day when I die, I might not even know how I died!"
Ye Yunjie was silent for a moment. Looking at Jiang Hao, she said in a serious tone, "Alright then, I'll reveal to you some more of what you don't know. I remember talking to you before, although Mr. Shen is in the Shen Family, the nominal head of the clan, so that it seems as if the entire Shen Family, is subservient to Mr. Shen, it's actually not."
"Why not? Couldn't my father order the others?" Jiang Hao asked with a frown.
Ye Yunjie shook her head and said lightly, "You think too simply, a small family, there is still discord between brothers and they fall apart over a small amount of family assets, let alone the Shen family, such a top-tier gentry. Do you know how much all the overseas Shen family's assets are put together?"
Ye Yunjie smiled mysteriously, but Jiang Hao shook his head, of course he didn't know these things, he didn't even know how much his own father had in his family.
Ye Yunjie gazed out the window into the distance and marvelled, "Let me tell you this, all of the Shen family's assets together are almost equivalent to the gd of several countries, a rough estimate is over thirty trillion dollars!"
Ye Yunjie said this breezily, but when it reached Jiang Hao's ears, he nearly fell down in shock.
"How ...... much?" Jiang Hao asked in surprise, "Sister Ye, are you kidding? How many assets does the world's richest man only have?"
Obviously, Jiang Hao didn't believe this rhetoric from Ye Yunjie. After all, such words were directly equivalent to subverting Jiang Hao's three views.
Thirty trillion US dollars, what concept was this? You know, even the most powerful country in this world does not have such a large amount of total gd, and a mere family is saying that they have such a large amount of assets? This is purely a joke, right?
Jiang Hao's reaction was more or less expected by Ye Yunjie, and as she looked at Jiang Hao's look, she couldn't help but snort a laugh.
"Hehe, what, that's scary?"
Jiang Hao shook his head. With a slightly ugly face, he said, "No...... not, you're joking right? If the overseas Shen family is that powerful. Then how come I've never heard of this family on TV or on the internet?"
For Jiang Hao, this seemed to be the single most powerful piece of evidence for himself to poke at Ye Yunjie's lies.
However, Ye Yunjie scoffed at Jiang Hao's naivety, laughed disdainfully and said, "You know. How much unnecessary trouble a family that huge would bring to itself if it was exposed? So in order to avoid some risks and troubles, a behemoth like the Shen family will often hide themselves very deeply, the district media is just that. Do you think it's hard to control them?"
Ye Yunjie then gave another example, "Let me put it to you this way, of the ten major mainstream media in Europe, a large part of them are related to the Shen family, either directly or indirectly, in short, the mouth is controlled by the Shen family, whether they want to be known or not, it really just depends on whether they are willing or not."
These words from Ye Yunjie really refreshed Jiang Hao's three views.
Come on he was just a bitter poor student who was ridiculed a few months ago, and now he suddenly made himself accept it. How could he accept the fact that he was actually a member of such a huge family?
Jiang Hao was a little dumbfounded, and a little excited. This was because he suddenly realised at this point that what people had said in the past about being wealthy was not just a joke, it seemed.
Jiang Hao even had a hint of gossip in his mind. Hurriedly, he asked again, "Then ...... how many assets does my dad he have?"
Ye Yunjie looked at Jiang Hao's cockney look and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Although I just said that the Shen family has so many assets. But you have to know that this is the result of the Shen family operating in Europe for a hundred decades. And these thirty trillion dollars of assets are not actually in the hands of one person, or a handful of people."
Ye Yunjie smiled and said, "Let me put it to you this way, from the first generation of the overseas Shen family, to the current seventh generation, how prosperous the descendants are, as far as the current overseas Shen family's own statistics show, its family members total more than four hundred people. And those thirty trillion dollars of assets are actually distributed in the hands of these four hundred or so people. Some of them have a lot of assets, maybe even hundreds of trillions, but some of them may only have tens of millions of assets. As for Mr. Shen ......"
Ye Yunjie sighed, carefully scrutinized Jiang Hao and asked, "By the way, do you know your father? His life story? And ...... also his family members, like your grandfather?"
Jiang Hao froze for a moment at his words, and looked a little confused at Ye Yunjie's question.
He shook his head, "I ...... grew up following my mother, and since I was young my mother said my father was dead, and she rarely mentioned my father, let alone my father's family. I don't even know if I have any other relatives on my father's side."
Ye Yunjie smiled at her words and said comfortingly, "Your mother did the right thing, she was really good to you, and there are some things that perhaps not letting you know is the greatest protection for you ......"
Ye Yunjie turned to look at Jiang Hao with a serious face and asked, "Then do you want to know your origins? Do you want to know who your father really is? And your father's past?"
Jiang Hao smiled, his eyes immediately burst out with a longing gaze, he nodded heavily and said thirstily, "I want to, of course I want to know my father's past, I also want to ...... still want to know why my father left us in the first place, did he really abandon me and my mother? "
Looking at the longing in Jiang Hao's eyes, as well as the hint of pity that came out in his expression, Ye Yunjie couldn't help but feel a little saddened.
In fact, she had not wanted to say so much to Jiang Hao, but after seeing the hopefulness in Jiang Hao's eyes, she hesitated a little.
Of course, Ye Yunjie knew that there were things she should not say to Jiang Hao, and there were things that Jiang Hao should not hear right now.
But perhaps there are some things that if you don't tell Jiang Hao, he will even have to misunderstand his father for the rest of his life ......
