Chapter 98

Ye Tianming placed his hand on the table, his fists clenched so tightly that the veins on the back of his hand were clearly visible. He almost gritted his teeth as he shouted, "Why are you telling me these things? What for? What do you want me to do? That's my sister!"

Xiao Bing sighed and said calmly, "I understand how you feel... Put yourself in her shoes. You are a smart person, and in terms of intelligence, I don't think you are any less capable than your sister. If you were in her position, could you do nothing at all?"

Ye Tianming swallowed hard, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.

"Originally, this position of heir would have been yours. You are the most reasonable candidate for chairman. Even if your sister uses all her means, the possibility of her turning the tables is not great. And now, with my help in inviting Zhang Yizhi to intervene, it's clear that your sister has almost no chance of winning. After attempting to assassinate you, she will inevitably lose any chance of turning the tables. Do you think she will just sit and wait to be defeated?"

"Will she let you sit in the position of family head so easily and then let herself be at the mercy of others?"

"Perhaps you have no intention of harming her, but that doesn't mean she isn't afraid you might."

Ye Tianming took a deep breath and, after a long silence, his tone finally calmed down. He spoke coldly, word by word, "What exactly do you want to say? Just tell me directly. Besides, our family's affairs are none of your business!"

Xiao Bing could see that his words had struck a chord with Ye Tianming, but ultimately, Ye Tianming couldn't let go of his sibling bond.

Xiao Bing said solemnly, "You might be right. Your family's affairs have little to do with me, especially the matters between you and Ye Xinyi, which should be resolved by you two. The reason I brought this up today is first to remind you, because I don't want to see any mishaps with your position as heir... Whether you want to hear it or not, your sister's character is not as good as yours. This has nothing to do with me, but I am Ye Zi's boyfriend, and I hope everything is well in her family."

"Second, through my repeated interactions with your sister... I believe she will take action soon. I can't guess what she will do, but she won't just sit and wait to be defeated. I don't want your sibling issues to inadvertently harm Ye Zi. That's the most important thing!"

Xiao Bing slowly stood up, his hands resting on the table, and a terrifying aura enveloped him. He felt like a man-eating tiger to Ye Tianming, and he said word by word, "I won't get involved in your sibling issues... But if Ye Zi is harmed, I won't let it go! You may be concerned about your sibling bond, but I don't fear damaging our relationship! No one's face or life is more important to me than my loved ones!"

Ye Tianming's breathing suddenly became rapid. He was not inexperienced; he had met many important figures, and his father was a formidable figure. But this oppressive and even bloody pressure was something even his father didn't possess, making it hard to breathe.

Just then, Ye Tianming's phone rang. Xiao Bing sat back down, and Ye Tianming, relieved, answered the call, "Hello, Xiao Mei... What? Father is in emergency care?"

Ye Tianming quickly hung up and said to Xiao Bing, "Xiao Xi called. My father is in the emergency room, and she is waiting outside."

Xiao Bing followed Ye Tianming out of the barbecue restaurant. At this moment, they were no longer concerned about Ye Xinyi's issues. The most important thing was Ye Bancheng's life. They quickly got into Ye Tianming's private car, and the car sped towards the hospital.

Ye Tianming looked lost and anxious, saying regretfully, "How could this happen? This morning, when I left home, Father was fine. He even said he was going to the temple to burn incense with that woman."

Xiao Bing hadn't expected this to happen. He had been thinking about how Ye Tianming and Ye Xinyi would confront each other, and if Ye Xinyi went to extremes, whether the same thing would happen again and whether it might inadvertently involve Ye Zi. But before they even started, Ye Bancheng had already collapsed. If something happened to Ye Bancheng, the Ye family might fall into chaos.

No matter what, Xiao Bing had to be by Ye Zi's side at this moment!

Xiao Bing patted Ye Tianming's shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry, there's no point in worrying. We'll know the situation when we get there."

The hospital wasn't too far away. When they arrived at the emergency room, Ye Zi, Ye Xinyi, Liu Piaopiao, Bao Lei, and several people Xiao Bing didn't recognize were all waiting outside. The people Xiao Bing didn't know were all well-dressed, clearly people of status, and their expressions were varied, each thinking their own thoughts.

Seeing Xiao Bing and Ye Tianming arrive, Ye Zi ran over first. Xiao Bing hugged her and said softly, "Don't worry, everything will be fine."

Ye Tianming frowned and asked directly, "How is my father? What happened? Why is he in the emergency room?"

Ye Xinyi said, "Let Aunt Liu tell you."

Liu Piaopiao opened her mouth and started crying, wiping her tears. Ye Tianming said, "Aunt Liu, this isn't the time to cry. Just tell me what happened."

Liu Piaopiao nodded, wiped her tears, and said with a lingering fear, "At the temple, I saw a long-necked, disheveled woman, not a woman... it looked like a female ghost. I cried, and your father comforted me. When we came back, your father also saw the female ghost at the temple gate and was frightened, which led to his illness. We brought him here."

Ye Tianming's frown deepened, and he asked, "Just because of that? In broad daylight, and in front of the Buddha, how could there be a female ghost? Besides, what ghost would dare to appear in such a place? That's superstition, how could you see such a thing!"

"I don't know... but we did see it." Liu Piaopiao couldn't help but cry, her tears making her look pitiful.

It had to be said that Liu Piaopiao was a natural seductress. Whether crying or laughing, she had a captivating charm. Even the well-dressed men, some in their forties and fifties, couldn't help but steal glances at her.

Ye Tianming asked again, "How is my father now?"

Bao Lei said, "When the boss was brought in, his condition wasn't good, but the doctor in charge is the most famous authority in Jiangcheng. I believe he will be fine."

Ye Tianming's expression was grim, and he said through gritted teeth, "Do everything possible to save him, do everything possible..."

A middle-aged man in his forties, dressed in a suit, hesitated for a moment. The other old men were giving him signals. He cleared his throat and walked over, saying, "Young Master Ye... don't worry, I believe the chairman will be fine."

"Thank you, all the directors for coming so promptly," Ye Tianming said, though he still seemed distracted.

"Please, please, besides, Chairman Ye is not just your father, he is our boss! To me, he is like an uncle. My father has been with Chairman Ye for many years, and when they started their business together, I wasn't even as old as you are now... Now that my father is old and has handed over his shares to me, as a nephew and the second-largest shareholder, I am naturally concerned about the company and the chairman."

Ye Tianming was getting annoyed. Why was this person saying so much nonsense at such a time? But as the person said, his name was Zhang Mingzhi, and his father was one of the oldest and most respected figures in the company, even respected by Ye Tianming's father. Now that Zhang Mingzhi had inherited his father's shares, he was the second-largest shareholder in the company. Although the Ye family had absolute control over the company, Ye Tianming couldn't afford to disrespect the second-largest shareholder.

Despite his frustration, Ye Tianming said patiently, "Director Zhang, my mind is on the emergency room. If you have something to say, please be brief."

"Ah, actually, we are a bit concerned. The chairman's health is a concern, and we believe in the saying that good people will be protected. But even if he is saved, I'm afraid... I'm afraid he won't be able to manage the company."

"We directors rely on the company for our livelihood. The company cannot be without a leader. The chairman's recent illness has already made the company unstable, and the stock prices have plummeted. If history repeats itself... shouldn't we discuss electing a new, capable chairman?"

Another director said, "I think there's no need to choose. Young Master Ye, you are the only son of the Ye family, and you are capable and excellent in every way. The chairman has always been grooming you. I believe the new chairman should be you!"

At that moment, the emergency room door opened, and the doctor came out, followed by Ye Bancheng, who was still wearing an oxygen mask and had his eyes slightly open. When everyone saw that he was still alive, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Bing also breathed a sigh of relief but glanced at the Ye siblings, especially lingering on Ye Xinyi's face.
