The old man looked at me again and asked: "Why are you so hesitant when answering this question?"

"Have you hesitated?" I looked at the old man in front of me.

"Yes, I hesitated for almost half a second." The old man nodded and replied.

"Maybe I'm thinking about other questions? But it has nothing to do with this answer." I said again.

The old man smiled and continued: "If you said this from the standpoint of a friend, then you are lying!"

"What do you mean? I didn't lie!" I narrowed my eyes.

"What are you involved in? It's something related to the person in charge of the Ye family. Would ordinary friends interfere in such a matter?"

I was stunned. What the old man said made sense, but I was speechless.

Who would interfere in such a thing involving another friend?

You must know that this kind of thing is not about eating, drinking, or buying things. This is an issue that determines the future direction of a family.

On this issue, I can be said to be just an outsider. I have said so much, but Mr. Ye Shiwen has been very kind by not kicking me out.

Thinking of this, I was a little confused. I didn't understand why I had to talk so much about this issue that had nothing to do with me.

Do I want to say that I don’t want my future opponent to be Ye Fusheng? I would rather Ye Qingcheng sit in this position?

"Well... I sometimes speak so bluntly. Maybe I don't think it through. If you feel that you mind, I won't continue talking." I thought about it, and finally I could only find this reason.

.

"No, you are not a person who speaks and does things without thinking." Mr. Ye Shiwen shook his head and rejected my answer.

"I know you very well. Otherwise, even if you didn't give me face when we were in the lobby just now, I wouldn't have found a way out for you. Zhang Cheng, you are a smart man, otherwise you wouldn't have said what you just said.

It’s just a matter of words, since you didn’t say these words out of consideration, or because this factor is not important, then what is your purpose in saying this?”

I fell silent. Can I say that I don’t even know the answer to this question?

"Can I think that you want Ye Qingcheng to continue sitting in this position for your own sake?" Mr. Ye Shiwen said again, and his eyes narrowed.

"What?" My expression changed, and even Ye Qingcheng's eyes widened.

"For myself? Old man, are you kidding me? What am I doing for myself?"

"I also want to ask this question, but fortunately I already have such a conjecture in my mind." The old man looked at me again.

"What guess?" I frowned.

"That is, you want to devour our lineage, or... you want to devour the entire Ye family, that's why you are so helpful to Qingcheng." Ye Shiwen said in a non-surprising tone.

"This...how is this possible?" I widened my eyes.

"What do you mean? I don't understand it at all? Why do I have such thoughts? Master, are you thinking too much?"

"It's not that I think too much, but it is indeed a possibility, and the possibility is very high." Mr. Ye Shiwen said again.

I laughed angrily, looked at the old man in front of me and said, "Old man, I, Zhang Cheng, have not yet reached this level. I dare not brag about my character, but I am not a greedy person either. Why should I do this?"

Such a despised thing happened?"

"Why not?" Ye Shiwen asked again.

"Everything is just a cloud when it comes to interests. As long as you can become a high-ranking person who looks down on the world, why do you need to worry about what others think of you?"

"I'm sorry, anyone may have the thoughts you mentioned, except me." I said coldly.

"I'm not afraid of you saying I'm hypocritical, old man. In fact, I'm tired of this kind of power struggle. Really! I just haven't completed my goal. If I can get the answer I want, I will immediately

Disappearing into this life circle that does not belong to me in the first place. I really have never had these thoughts you mentioned."

"There are only two kinds of people who can say that, one is a hero and the other is a tyrant." Mr. Ye Shiwen said.

"It's natural for the former to say this, but the latter will only use it as a tool to deceive the world and steal fame to achieve his supreme hegemony. So...should you be the former or the latter?"

"I don't know which one I am, and I even feel that neither answer fits me. But I think in your heart, old man, I belong to the latter, right?" I squinted and looked at Mr. Ye Shiwen in front of me.

"Of course, I have every reason to be so suspicious." The old man nodded.

"In that case, I think we have nothing to talk about. Old man, you already have such thoughts. Can I change your mind?" I said again.

"Indeed you can't." The old man nodded again.

"Let's end this conversation. I think I should go back and think about the next question." I said, and then turned to leave the room.

"Are you ready to leave just like that?" Mr. Ye Shiwen stopped me.

I stopped and turned around, looked at Mr. Ye Shiwen and said, "Old man, do you have anything else to do?"

"Of course." Mr. Ye Shiwen nodded.

"What else does the old man have to do?"

"Since you admitted that you had that idea, should you give me an explanation?" Mr. Ye Shiwen asked, looking at me with squinted eyes.

"Explanation?" I couldn't help but find it funny.

"Old man, what explanation do you want? And this is your subjective imagination from beginning to end. I have not admitted it. Why do you want to ask for an explanation from me?"

"Didn't you acquiesce?"

"I don't have such thoughts. It's just what you think, old man." I glanced at the old man.

"I just feel that I have been insulted by the old man. I don't think I can stay here any longer."

"Indeed, but you must give our Ye family an explanation today. Why did you make such an idea?" Mr. Ye Shiwen said reluctantly.

"It's unreasonable! I will keep your 'kind treatment' in mind, old man." After saying that, I stopped looking at Ye Shiwen and turned around again to leave.

"You can't leave!" Mr. Ye Shiwen's tone suddenly turned cold.
