Chapter 98 - Who was the Murderer?
Chapter 98: Who was the Murderer?
Xiao Bing could see that Ye Tianming looked relieved, and Ye Xinyi looked natural. But, this did not mean anything because Ye Xinyi was a smart woman, so she wouldn’t show any flaws.
However, Xiao Bing believed this wasn’t an accident. He did not believe in ghosts and gods, so he was sure that somebody was playing tricks. There must be something hidden in it as for why a simple figure would frighten Ye Bancheng into such a look. Otherwise, his psychological quality would never be frightened.
After the doctor took off his mask, Ye Tianming urgently asked, “Doctor, I am the son of the patient. How is my father? He just became better these days. Is there anything wrong with him this time?”
The doctor sighed and said, “Here’s the situation. When Mr. Ye arrived just now, he almost died. Although he was rescued, his body couldn’t stand the repeated pain because of his age. What’s more, it seemed that the great stimulation of the outside world led to his heart attack this time. Now his brain was also greatly stimulated. Although he was rescued this time… ”
Ye Tianming said nervously, “But what? You don’t have to be worried, just spit it out.”
“Ah, but Mr. Ye is in a state of hemiplegia now because of the damage to his brain nerves… He might regain consciousness, but I think his ability to take care of himself in life will probably be lost… I am afraid it will be very difficult for him to on his own in the future, and his language ability will be impaired to a certain extent.”
Ye Tianming stood stunned, and Ye Xinyi’s face was not very good either. Ye Zi’s tears wouldn’t stop falling down, and she covered her mouth with her hand. No matter how rigid the relationship between her and Ye Bancheng was, he was her father after all.
Xiao Bing hugged Yezi in his arms tighter. Seeing her so sad, made him distressed!
Ye Tianming’s voice was strained, “Can’t he be cured with a high level of medical treatment now?”
The doctor shook his head, “According to the injury of Mr. Ye, this is the best result even in Country Mi.”
Ye Tianming sighed and said, “I know. Thank you, doctor. My father will be in the hospital for a few days, and I hope that you will check in on him regularly.”
“Certainly, take it easy. I would try my best even if he was an ordinary person, and not your father, the great entrepreneur.”
Ye Tianming thanked him a lot, and the doctor comforted as he left.
Mr. Ye had been pushed into the ward. Ye Tianming and the others were still standing outside the operating room. Those directors looked at Ye Tianming and wanted to say something. Ye Tianming sighed, “Dear directors, I know what you all are worrying about in your heart, but now my father has become seriously… Well, give me three days. After three days, the company will hold a board meeting, and I will give you a satisfactory answer.”
After hearing this, they stopped asking finally. Everyone sighed sadly and comforted the three siblings of the Ye Family, and then left one by one.
Xiao Bing could see that these people still had some reservations about Ye Bancheng, but this involved business matters. Xiao Bing also knew more or less about some business operations. Once the news of the chairman’s hemiplegia was disseminated, stocks would fall sharply. At that time, everyone’s family would shrink dramatically. However, although they had emotions, they were also very concerned about interests as businessmen.
So, for these people, the most important thing at present was to let Ye Tianming take over formally. Only the smooth transition of the company could reduce their losses.
Except for the Ye Family, there would only be Xiao Bing left. Ye Tianming looked at Xiao Bing expectantly and said, “Brother Bing, can you invite Zhang Yizhi, the old high-skilled doctor, to return?”
Xiao Bing hesitated for a moment but saw Yezi was also looking at him, so finally, he sighed and said reluctantly, “Well, I am not sure. Although Mr. Zhang and I are friends beyond ages, he is a strange man. Before leaving, he has said that it was the last time this year to be invited by me for treating patients, and there would be no second time.”
Ye Tianming sighed and said, “We should have a try, so Brother Bing, now it will trouble you.”
“Um.” Xiao Bing called Zhang Yizhi on the spot and explained the situation.
After listening, Zhang Yizhi was silent for a moment, then he sighed and said, “How could such a thing happen? Xiao Bing, it’s not that I don’t show respect for your feelings. To tell the truth, I can only treat patients three times a year at most and don’t ask for any specific reasons. The first time has been used in Ye Bancheng. The second time I treated you and help you seal the strength of your body. The third time, I also need to help you unseal it after you no longer need it. If this third opportunity will be applied to Ye Bancheng, then you will have no chance to recover your original strength this year.”
Xiao Bing frowned, but still said firmly, “No problem!”
“You have no problem, but I have a problem!” Zhang Yizhi said with a bitter smile, “I can’t cure Ye Bancheng at all even if I go to treat him. The human body is like a high-speed machine. What is the machine like? What machines have you repaired?” “What is a machine that has been repaired repeatedly in a few days like? Xiao Bing, I have already known the physical condition of Ye Bancheng. To tell the truth, it was a lucky thing that he could recover before according to his physical condition. This time, it would be like that at most even if the Bodhisattva comes.”
Xiao Bing sighed and said, “Okay. I knew that. Mr. Zhang, I won’t bother you anymore. When I go to Jingdu, I’ll buy you a drink.”
“Of course I will buy you a drink if you come to Jingdu. Go and accompany your little girlfriend.”
After hanging up the phone, Ye Family’s faces were very depressed. They also heard the voice on the phone.
“Sorry,” Xiao Bing looked at Yezi and said with some regret, “I can’t…”
“Never mind,” Yezi looked at Ye Xinyi and Ye Tianming and said, “Sister, brother, you all go back first, and today I will accompany father.”
Ye Tianming said, “You… ”
Yezi wiped away her tears and said in a firm voice, “No matter how much I hate him my body is still flowing with his blood… What’s more, I’m no longer a little child. As a child of the Ye Family, the more important this is, the more I can’t shrink back. Even if I shed more tears, I should dry them when I really do something, and then do it firmly.”
Ye Tianming sighed and said, “Okay, I’ll go back with your sister first. There are still some arrangements for the company. I’ll replace you tomorrow. Aunt Liu, you also go back. You were frightened today. Brother Bing, please take good care of my sister.”
Xiao Bing nodded. Ye Tianming and others went into the ward to have a look, and then left the hospital one by one with a sigh.
Now, only Xiao Bing and Ye Zi were left in the ward, and Bao Lei stayed outside the door. He had always been Ye Bancheng’s capable assistant. His face was not good either when something happened to Ye Bancheng.
Yezi sat next to Ye Bancheng. Wearing an oxygen mask, Ye Bancheng had shut his eyes and was sleeping soundly. He opened his eyes when he had been moved from the operating room. After that, he had been sleeping soundly. According to the little nurse who just went out, it was good for Ye Bancheng to wake up tomorrow morning.
Ye Zi placed her hands on Ye Bancheng’s bed. Looking at the old man, her heart filled with sorrow. Her mind was full of memories of riding on her father when she was young. At that time, she felt that his father was great, and like a giant. Later, Ye Bancheng’s business became busier, and the time he spent with her became less and less. But, he still favored her very much and that never decreased.
The relationship between them hadn’t changed until Ye Zi’s mother died. Ye Zi would never forget the day when her father brought that woman into the house. Her heart was so disappointed. From that moment on, her eyes were only suspicious and hostile when she looked at her father. She suspected that her mother must have known her father was having an affair, so she became seriously ill. If her father had not had an affair in the beginning, why did the woman move into her home shortly after her mother died?
But, now, Yezi’s heart was full of complex things. She still had doubts about her father. However, when she thought of her father’s kindness to herself, her heart was filled with sadness and remorse. At this moment, even she didn’t know what she really wanted.
Xiao Bing sighed and said, “Ye Zi, uncle is so serious now. According to what the doctor said… I’m afraid he will never get out of bed. Life is so short, and let the past pass. Anyway, he is your father after all, isn’t he?”
Yezi choked back tears and said, “I don’t know what I’m thinking. I thought I hated him greatly but seeing him like this, I can’t hate him. Brother Bing, hug me. I am so cold, and I am so afraid…”
When Xiao Bing hugged Ye Zi, Ye Xinyi did not return to the company immediately after leaving the hospital but went to another place, the private theater of East Heaven Queen.
Ye Xinyi met East Heaven King in her room. She could go in and out without even being noticed. East Heaven King had been sleeping soundly in her room when she entered the room. Hearing the sound of the opening door, he immediately rolled over and got out of bed.
After removing the powder East Heaven Queen turned out to be a middle-aged man who looked more comely with some feelings of being a Huadan, a female role in Chinese opera. Seeing Ye Xinyi coming in, he immediately revealed a look of surprise and opened arms in welcome.
Ye Xinyi, however, was full of exasperation and pushed East Heaven Queen lioness painted face while screaming, “Paint-face, you’re fucking crazy! Who let you do it?”
Paint-face was stunned by Ye Xinyi’s sudden outbreak and he was confused. He looked at Ye Xinyi with perplexity and asked, “Xinyi, what are you talking about?”
Ye Xinyi gasped and looked at Paint-face and asked, “I will ask you two things. The first thing is, did you assassinate Xiao Bing last night?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Paint-face shook his head.
Ye Xinyi continued to push and ask, “What about my father?” “I only complained to you recently. If this goes on for a long time, the position of chairman of Ye’s Group will surely be Ye Tianming. Now, my father is in the hospital. Did you do that?”
Paint-face shook his head again. Looking at Ye Xinyi’s suspicious face, he cocked up his finger and said loudly, “These two things have nothing to do with me. If I tell half a lie, I will be struck by lightning!”
Hearing this, Ye Xinyi’s face eased slightly, but her eyes were somewhat confused, “If it wasn’t you, who would it be… Could it be North Heaven Queen that could not wait to assassinate Xiao Bing? But even so… Was it a coincidence with my father? No, absolutely not… ”
Paint-face said cautiously, “Was it Ye Tianming?”
Ye Xinyi’s eyes became bright. If Ye Bancheng had gone at this moment, obviously the heir of the Ye Family would have no suspense. Ye Tianming could take resolute measures to inherit the chairman immediately, and Ye Xinyi would lose the last chance to turn over.
But Ye Xinyi quickly shook her head, “No… Ye Tianming is soft-hearted and wouldn’t do such a thing.”
“Whoever he is, if something happens to your father, Ye Tianming will naturally succeed to the position of chairman. What are you going to do? Wait for failure?”
“Waiting to die?” Ye Xinyi sneered, and her eyes gleamed coldly, “That’s not in my character!”
