Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 855: Chapter 517-518: Two Men / Confinement

"Minister Qin, thank you for speaking up for Ye’er. We’ll leave now."

"Wait, answer my question first before you go." Ye Mo pulled away, looking displeased.

"Let’s go. You’ve found the wrong person. Of course, if you don’t want to join me, that’s fine too." Ye Xuan said and walked away by himself. Ye Mo hesitated for a moment but hurriedly followed.

As their silhouettes quickly disappeared through the door, Minister Qin let out a long breath. He was genuinely bewildered earlier, thinking someone else had come in to argue with him.

The relationship between Ye Xuan and Luo Ye was just known to him, and offending Young Master Ye was something he couldn’t afford. Luckily, luckily... He was immensely thankful that when he consulted Vice Chairman Yan, he expressed his view that he hoped Luo Ye wouldn’t obtain investment for the country through such means. However, despite his low position, his suggestion was ultimately not adopted.

Initially, he was puzzled, thinking that perhaps Vice Chairman Yan wasn’t afraid of provoking the Wen Family? Only after getting a hint from someone did he truly understand that this decision was not solely Vice Chairman Yan’s, but supported by the bigwigs above.

The reason was simple; currently, the domestic economy was nearly controlled by the Six Great Families and their allies, and after the Wen and Ye families joined forces, they became unstoppable. Naturally, some bigwigs hoped for some foreign competition to weaken the dominance. Everyone was aware of this, so the Wen and Ye families wouldn’t confront Vice Chairman Yan publicly over this.

Of course, this is an analysis, and whether the specifics are truly like this, perhaps only those involved know, and the opinions from above were not unanimous either, only ultimately giving the newly appointed Vice Chairman Yan some face.

The importance of such massive investment to the country is undeniable, but the downsides are also apparent. Even if the Wen and Ye families don’t openly cause trouble, they will surely harbor resentment. Moreover, if this matter spreads, the several great families domestically might become disheartened and possibly even move their industries abroad.

Therefore, how the matter will ultimately unfold, no conclusion can be drawn yet.

Key is, he is already involved in this, and seems it’s time to take sides. So, how should he decide? Well, does he even have a choice?

Thinking like this, originally somewhat relieved that Young Master Ye didn’t make a fuss, Minister Qin furrowed his brow. He had been pondering how to solve the problem, yet without having time to think deeply. He’s been cautious all his life, but now finds himself having to take a side, alas...

He has always acted on his conscience, but if this leads to failure... Well, if that’s the case, the position isn’t worth holding onto.

...

Ye Mo followed Ye Xuan all the way to the parking lot, saw him get into the car without saying a word, start the engine, Ye Mo grabbed him urgently: "I say, at least tell me what’s the next step. Dragging me here like a fool, what is this?"

"Time is of the essence, I want to tell you on the way." Ye Xuan said, frowning, "They are too deceitful!"

"Who?" Ye Mo was completely puzzled.

"The Feng Family!" Ye Xuan said succinctly.

"The Feng Family is involved in this too?" Ye Mo looked at Ye Xuan in confusion, "Are you sure you’re not mistaken?"

"I’m not referring to this matter, but the issue of my dispatch. Originally, it was supposed to be eight months, but it turned into a year. It was Old Man Feng’s doing, conjuring up a whole parade of justifiable reasons, leaving General Xia with no way to argue."

Ye Mo patted his forehead in realization: "That’s why it suddenly turned into a year, so it’s like this! However, which also shows the Feng Family’s influence shouldn’t be underestimated."

No, with Feng Tianzhi’s personality, wouldn’t he accept such an arrangement? He’s crazy, but he’s also proud. Could it be that I’ve been mistaken about him all along?"

"Feng Tianzhi is unaware of this matter." Ye Xuan paused, "However, his actions this time made me think highly of him. If he hadn’t forced Old Sir Feng to step in, I wouldn’t be able to return now."

Ye Mo puzzledly said: "Grandpa Ye doesn’t know about this matter?"

"Even if Grandpa did know, he couldn’t intervene. In these two years, the Ye Family’s momentum has been too strong, but no family can remain strong if they violate certain taboos, you should understand this."
