Translator: 549690339

The ancestral hall was busy, with many people coming and going.

Yin Qin somehow found himself there too, heading directly towards Ji Baijian, “Surprised, aren’t you?”

Ji Baijian turned his head to look at Yin Qin.

Yin Qin observed Ji Baijian’s terrible complexion.

Then he turned his gaze to Song Zhizhi.

He couldn’t figure out why he looked so unhappy.

Hadn’t he always wanted to usurp Ye Taiting’s position? Shouldn’t he be overjoyed now that Ye Taiting is dead?!

Moreover.

With the troublemaker Ye Taiting gone, they were at much less risk.

They should be celebrating with drinks!

Of course, it was simple for Yin Qin to think this way, but what Ji Baijian needed to consider was, who was pulling the strings behind the scenes?!

Before, he could at least identify Ye Taiting as the plotter behind all this, but clearly…

Clearly, Ye Taiting was the one who ended up getting plotted against!

Who was behind this?!

Ji Baijian’s eyes narrowed.

He fiercely turned his gaze onto Yi Wenhan, who was currently displaying an expression of profound sorrow, and then directed it at Qian Guanshu!

If he wasn’t mistaken… Ye Taiting, who had been scheming others all his life, was bitten by the dog by his side!

Qian Guanshu sensed Ji Baijian’s gaze.

His eyes shifted, meeting Ji Baijian’s cold stare. He gave no indication of his thoughts to Ji Baijian as he turned around and walked away right then and there.

Ji Baijian’s face subtly changed.

At this moment, Qian Guanshu was moving towards Yi Wenhan, helping him up from the floor.

But Yi Wenhan didn’t want to rise.

“Wenhan, get up,” Qian Guanshu commanded.

Yi Wenhan had no choice but to comply.

Everyone in the ancestral hall was watching Qian Guanshu’s actions.

Almost all the influential figures in Jin City had arrived.

Without mentioning the four chiefs who had rushed over immediately after receiving the news, the primary leaders of the three major consortiums and eight enterprises were all present. Importantly, representatives of the official family had also arrived, and their ranks were not low.

Standing beside Yi Wenhan, Qian Guanshu began to speak, “Thank you all for attending Mr. Ye’s memorial service. I am Qian Guanshu, his head secretary. On behalf of Mr. Ye, I sincerely appreciate everyone’s presence which I believe is also appreciated by his spirit in heaven.”

As soon as he started to speak.

The whole scene fell silent, even the funeral music stopped.

Everyone was watching him, waiting for his next words.

“This morning, I announced Mr. Ye’s passing as per his instruction. He went to Jinghe Village yesterday morning upon hearing that project members were captured by the unruly villagers. Concerned for everyone’s safety, he went personally for the rescue, but the head of the village turned out to be an armed gang leader. Mr. Ye was attacked when we least expected it. He suffered a fatal knife wound in the stomach; despite emergency medical treatment, he passed away at 7 o’clock this morning!”

As he spoke, Qian Guanshu’s eyes reddened.

The others seemed to empathize with his sorrow!

Someone couldn’t help but ask, “Why did Mr. Ye personally go to such a dangerous place?”

“Every employee of the Commercial Management is like Mr. Ye’s child. He couldn’t stand to see any of them getting harmed! Until now, no one has had an accident because of working for Commercial Management. Mr. Ye would not allow such a thing to happen! So he insisted on going against my advice! We never knew…” Qian Guanshu’s voice choked with emotion, he couldn’t go on.

“Ah.” Someone sighed.

Everyone was deeply saddened.

Qian Guanshu continued, “Mr. Ye’s death deeply saddens me, but I must fulfill the responsibilities he entrusted to me.”

Everyone looked at Qian Guanshu in surprise.

“As you may know, Mr. Ye had no known heirs. For many years he has been served loyally by me. He has contributed remarkably to the Commercial Management, benefiting countless citizens of Yanshang. His initiative to develop Jinghe Village was to improve the living standards of the villagers and help them escape poverty, but this led to a terrible retaliation! Now, before his death, Mr. Ye revealed a secret he had been hiding for years. He indeed has a descendant. To temper his son, he didn’t want his son to have everything from birth and become an indolent prodigal son! Therefore, he left him at an orphanage right after he was born and let him climb from the bottom, so that he could experience growth and hardship. So, his son would understand that everything he possesses wasn’t given for nothing, to teach him to cherish! Most importantly, Mr. Ye, who grew up in the influential Ye Family, knew he couldn’t truly empathize with ordinary people regardless of his intention. He wanted his son to truly understand the needs of the people and their thoughts, so he could lead the Commercial Management better and bring greater benefits to everyone!”

Qian Guanshu spoke with conviction and fervor.

Ji Baijian just listened calmly.

So did Song Zhizhi.

The others varied in their reactions – some were excited, others were indifferent.

Of course, there were some who harbored resentment.

The agreement was that there would be no heirs, how could one suddenly appear?!

Chu Zhaotian, Qin Wenguo, even Song Shan, felt a pang of bitterness at that moment.

Qian Guanshu said, “Now, on behalf of Mr. Ye, I shall read his will: I, Ye Taiting. If I were to pass away, I would donate a third of my wealth to charity, leave a third to Secretary-General Guanshu, a third to my biological son, Yi Wenhan, no, Ye Wenhan. At the same time, I bestow the position of Consortium heir to my son, Ye Wenhan, and hope that all the chiefs could assist him as they assisted me and support him to become the next leader of the Ye Family. I, Ye Taiting, set this will!”

After Qian Guanshu read the will, he placed the personally signed will of Ye Taiting, with a handprint and a lawyer’s seal of notarization, in front of everyone.

Ye Taiting’s personal lawyer, Tian Jiang, appeared, “I confirm that this will is genuine and valid.”

The entire ancestral hall was in an uproar.

So…

Ye Taiting fooled everyone.

Everyone thought he had no heir, but it turned out that he had just hidden him.

The true heir was surprisingly Yi Wenhan, a minor character who would have been insignificant if not for the scandal with Song Zhizhi!

Indeed, no one could fathom Ye Taiting, no one knew what he was up to.

Qian Guanshu cleared his throat, “Mr. Ye entrusted me to announce his will at his funeral, as he wanted to officially announce Wenhan’s identity in front of everyone. He hopes everyone can treat Wenhan as they treated him. The future Commercial Management organization, I implore everyone present, Mr. Ye is unable to personally thank you, allow me to express his heartfelt gratitude on his behalf.”

Saying this, Qian Guanshu gave a deep bow.

Yi Wenhan stood there, hastily bowing as well.

He appeared exceedingly sincere.

At the site, no one spoke.

Everyone seemed to be still in shock.

It took a while for them to react!

Qian Guanshu didn’t keep talking about the will; he changed the topic, “Mr. Ye’s funeral lasts for two days. The day after tomorrow at 4pm his ashes will be scattered over the moat of Jin City. He wants to continue to remain in this land, to nurture all the people of Yanshang Country.”

The scene was solemn.

The great sacrifice of Mr. Ye, to die for others.

Even after Mr. Ye’s death, he was still concerned about everything in Yanshang Country.

Everyone appeared to be grieving.

Many people involuntarily paid their respects in front of Mr. Ye’s ice coffin, Ji Baijian turned around and left directly.

Song Zhizhi saw Ji Baijian’s figure and hurriedly followed.

Yin Qin, who had been looking forward to some drama, also left when he saw Ji Baijian leave.

Xin Zaozao was also present.

As the chairman of the Consortium Group, she would naturally attend the funeral immediately. She watched Song Zhizhi and the others leave, thought for a moment, and decided to stay, even though she was keen to ask what exactly happened on the trip to Jinghe Village, and why did Mr. Ye suddenly pass away?!

Mr. Ye’s death was really too sudden.

Even more surprising was the fact that Yi Wenhan had become the successor of Commercial Management!

What has the previously highly favored Song Shan become?!

Xin Zaozao couldn’t help but glance at Song Shan in the hall. Seeing him looking gloomy, his eyes constantly staring at the ice coffin as if he were mourning.

Xin Zaozao sighed lightly; she could not make out what happened.

She felt that being here was somewhat unnecessary.

She turned around.

And saw Ji Baili, who was standing behind her.

She pursed her lips.

Ji Baili nodded slightly at her, neither too enthusiastic nor too dismissive.

Then he, accompanied by his father, went to mourn Ye Taiting.

Xin Zaozao watched him leave from her side.

It had been a long time since they last met.

She had always thought that Ji Baili hated her.

Turns out, he had already let go.

That’s good, it’s as it should be.
