Chapter 930: Revealing Everything
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Ye Leng’an, if you’re here today just to get tangled up in this matter, then please leave this place now.” Ye Li pointed angrily toward the door. “Also, please understand that I’m not your prisoner. There’s no need for me to be interrogated by you here.”
Ye Leng’an remained unmoved, sitting silently with an unchanged expression. “Mr. Ye, as I mentioned earlier, I came here today to ask you a few questions. Since I haven’t received any answers yet, do you think I’ll leave so easily?”
With a gnashing of teeth, Ye Li had no other recourse.
Ye Leng’an didn’t spare Ye Li a glance, instead turning to Lin Wanqin with a gentle expression and a hint of guidance in her tone. “Mrs. Ye, do you know where the money that saved the Ye Group came from?”
“We don’t know who gave us that money.” Lin Wanqin’s eyes were hollow as she spoke, seemingly lost in a trance. “We’ve always communicated over the phone and have never met in person.”
Lin Wanqin didn’t understand why she was revealing these details, despite her initial reluctance. Yet, in the face of Ye Leng’an’s gaze, she couldn’t help but divulge everything.
“Lin Wanqin!” Ye Li was shocked and hurriedly reprimanded her, “Shut up.”
He even attempted to cover Lin Wanqin’s mouth to halt her words.
He felt as if he could strangle Lin Wanqin right then and there. He had repeatedly warned her not to speak carelessly, yet here she was, revealing everything.
Their benefactor had explicitly warned against revealing any information about him, lest the Ye Group suffer further consequences.
“Ye Li, if you dare to make a move.” Ye Leng’an’s icy gaze fell upon Ye Li, her words piercing like shards of ice. “I can guarantee that you will hear of the Ye Group’s bankruptcy tomorrow.”
“You can’t…” Ye Li was horrified.
“I can.” Ye Leng’an’s gaze remained cold. Under such scrutiny, anyone would feel a shiver down their spine. “Do you want to test me?”
Under that chilling gaze, Ye Li felt frozen, unable to speak. He could only watch helplessly as Lin Wanqin continued to divulge forbidden secrets.
Resting her chin on one hand, Ye Leng’an turned back to Lin Wanqin and asked, “Why did that person give you such a large sum of money?”
Upon hearing these words, a flicker of struggle passed across Lin Wanqin’s face. She opened her mouth as if to speak, but it seemed as if something was holding her back.
Observing Lin Wanqin’s demeanor, Ye Leng’an’s eyes flashed with a glint of coldness. “Take your time to think. There’s no rush.”
Lin Wanqin seemed to struggle before responding, “That person took Ye Leng’an’s lanugo from us and gave us a large sum of money. He made it clear that we were not to speak of this.”
Lanugo!
Ye Leng’an’s eyes flickered with doubt at this revelation.
Despite her surprise, she realized that she had forgotten about this possession in the Ye family. It was even more astonishing that Ye Li and the others had kept it.
Ye Li was so anxious but dared not intervene. He could only watch as Lin Wanqin spilled all the secrets.
Having obtained the desired answer, Ye Leng’an turned to Ye Li with a mocking tone. “Mr. Ye, this is what you meant by ‘it’s not my concern’? You’re at peace using my belongings to secure wealth!”
Hearing the sarcasm, Ye Li’s face flushed, but he stuttered, “So what? Ye Leng’an, let me tell you, if you dare to harm the Ye Group, I will not let you off.”
Ye Leng’an’s expression remained unchanged at Ye Li’s outburst. “Oh, I’ll say it again. Do as you please.”
With that, she stood up. “Since I’ve received my answer, I won’t disturb you any longer. Goodbye.”
She had come today to ascertain the source of the Ye Group’s fortune and its connection to her.
Now that she had her answer, there was no need to linger. Her next task was to uncover the motives of the person lurking in the shadows, who had taken her lanugo from Ye Li. What was his purpose?
As Ye Leng’an prepared to depart, Ye Li felt no joy, only increasing unease. He stood up, blocking her path. “Don’t go, Ye Leng’an. What are you planning? Are you intending to harm the Ye Group?”
Ye Leng’an didn’t directly answer Ye Li’s question. Instead, a malicious smile curved her lips. “Guess!”
With those words, her smile grew even brighter.
Then, she pushed Ye Li aside and departed.
Watching her leave, Ye Li felt a lump in his throat, his discomfort palpable.
Suddenly, he noticed Lin Wanqin still seated there. Recalling her earlier revelations to Ye Leng’an, his anger flared. He stepped forward, raised his hand, and delivered a harsh slap to her face.
“Ahh!” A scream pierced the air.
Lin Wanqin shot up, clutching her cheek in pain. It was as if she had just woken from a dream. Then, she immediately confronted Ye Li, “Are you insane? Why did you hit me?”
“I hit you? I’m tempted to kill you now.” Ye Li jabbed a finger at Lin Wanqin, his voice trembling with rage. “What have you done? You’ve spilled everything. Do you know what we’re about to face? Is the person behind this someone to be trifled with? Will Ye Leng’an let it slide?”
