After parting ways with Chu Yuxuan at the intersection, Ye Yongsheng's Bentley sped towards the hospital. Ye Tianyi, who had suffered severe facial burns and damage to his vital parts, was still receiving treatment in the hospital.
In the luxurious single-patient room, the doctor had just finished changing the dressings when Ye Yongsheng walked in.
"Dad!" Ye Tianyi, whose entire head was wrapped up with only his eyes and mouth exposed, was propped up against the headboard with his legs spread awkwardly. The sight was quite comical. Ye Yongsheng ignored him and asked the doctor, "How's the situation today?"
The doctor replied, "The condition is steadily improving. He should be able to leave the hospital in three to four days."
Ye Yongsheng asked, "Will there be any scars on his face?"
"No, I can assure you of that."
Ye Yongsheng then inquired, "Are you certain it won't affect his fertility?"
"Absolutely certain."
After the doctor left, Ye Yongsheng sat by the bed, both angry and distressed as he looked at his son. He had already lectured him thoroughly a few days ago, so he had nothing more to say, only asking, "Does it still hurt today?"
Ye Tianyi, looking full of grievance, nodded and said, "It hurts... Dad, we haven't reported this to the police. You must be planning private revenge, right? When will you take action? I want to castrate Chu Yuxuan and fry his head in oil!"
"Do you think this is a child's game or a gang fight?" Ye Yongsheng scolded, "You're almost thirty, yet you still think everything is so simple!"
"So, we just let this go? Dad, this is not your style! Chu Yuxuan didn't just hit me; he's clearly slapping your face!"
"Hmph... Of course, it won't end like this!" Ye Yongsheng snorted coldly, "I've been fighting Chu Zhijing for years, both openly and secretly. Neither of us dared to strike the final blow, fearing that one wrong move would lead to complete failure! But with the internal strife within the Chu family intensifying recently, it presents a perfect opportunity. In fact, I had already planned to deal with him. His son's provocation now gives me a legitimate reason!"
Ye Tianyi immediately got excited, "Really?! Dad, when will you take action? How about waiting until I'm discharged in a couple of days? I want to take revenge personally!"
"Don't cause more trouble for me!" Ye Yongsheng reprimanded, "Although the Chu family is currently in turmoil, the third branch won't support each other. Chu Xiaotian is basically in semi-retirement, but don't forget, you offended the first branch of the Chu family four years ago. Hmph... I need to find some connections and stabilize Chu Haoran and his son, to prevent them from teaming up with Chu Zhijing."
Ye Tianyi felt a bit ashamed, clenched his fists, and said, "Anyway, Chu Yuxuan must not have a good ending!"
After a while, Ye Yongsheng summoned the doctor for some final instructions and then left the hospital, heading to the headquarters of the Ye Group.
On the way, Ye Yongsheng felt uneasy and tried to call his beloved wife, but the phone was turned off. After coming home drunk from a social event last night, he hadn't paid attention to whether his wife, Liu Sisi, was at home. He only realized this morning that she was missing. He called her, but the phone was off, so he asked the maid, who informed him that Liu Sisi had left yesterday evening and hadn't returned since.
Ye Yongsheng was a man with a strong need for control and would never allow Liu Sisi to stay out overnight. Now not only had she stayed out, but her phone was also turned off, which made him suspect infidelity.
It was no wonder. Liu Sisi was an inherently seductive woman, and any man who married her would likely be on guard. However, Ye Yongsheng was genuinely fond of her; he had liked her even before she married into the Chu family.
Unable to reach her by phone and losing patience, Ye Yongsheng immediately sent someone to look for her.
After spending the morning anxiously in his office, just before noon, the person he had sent finally returned with news: "Ye, we have a lead... Um, a reporter just revealed that your wife, Liu Sisi, was seen with Chu Zhijing... I'll send you the link."
Ye Yongsheng: ?!!
He stared blankly for five to six seconds before hanging up and quickly opening the link sent by his bodyguard. The article, titled "The Passionate Tycoon and His Ageless Ex-Wife Reignite Their Romance?" featured a picture of Chu Zhijing embracing Liu Sisi at the entrance of a hotel, apparently just coming out.
Although they were fully covered with hats and masks, one was the man he hated the most, and the other was the woman he loved the most. How could he not recognize them?
Ye Yongsheng was almost driven to the point of vomiting blood from anger. In reality, he knew Liu Sisi had only loved Chu Zhijing throughout her life, but ten years ago, Chu Zhijing had teamed up with Zhao Yunbo to wipe out the Liu family. With such deep-seated enmity, how could Liu Sisi possibly forgive him?
He couldn't understand it; he simply couldn't understand!
Could it be that when a woman's romantic brain takes over, she really ignores everything else?
Ye Yongsheng cursed, his eyes suddenly filled with murderous intent, and roared, "I'll make sure to tear these two treacherous lovers apart!"
The door of the office was open, and his roar echoed through the office. The employees exchanged glances but seemed used to it. After all, they were accustomed to the chairman's explosive temper. Moreover, since Liu Sisi was a hidden wife and rarely appeared at Ye Group, apart from the bodyguards, no one knew about Ye Yongsheng's remarriage. So, they were unsure about what had made him so furious and assumed it was a business partner who had angered him.
After about five minutes, Ye Yongsheng gradually calmed down, considered his options, and sent a text message to someone saved as "Xiao Wu": "Keep a close watch on Chu Zhijing. Report to me in advance wherever he goes!"
At nine o'clock in the evening, Ye Yongsheng arrived at a restaurant called "Red Mansion."
The restaurant, with its ancient charm, was located in a secluded area southwest of Jiangcheng. It was set against the mountains and beside the water, resembling a red nine-story pagoda. It was a landmark building in Jiangcheng, having been established for over thirty years and was very famous.
Although its name was simple, the restaurant was not to be underestimated. Years ago, it was renowned for its exceptional cuisine and was frequented by people of high status. Even though the regulations were stricter now, it was still a place where the elite gathered. Without a membership card, you couldn't even enter the door, and obtaining a membership required the recommendation of at least two current members.
Such strictness hinted that the Red Mansion was more than just a restaurant. There were rumors that it was built by a high-ranking official who had retired to Jiangcheng from the capital. Although he no longer held any official positions, his connections, information, and financial resources were not to be underestimated. This background was rumored but never verified. However, given the circumstances, who would dare to verify it?
To this day, the owner of the Red Mansion remained a very mysterious figure.
After parking the car, the driver took out two large wooden gift boxes from the trunk. Ye Yongsheng took the boxes and walked into the restaurant.
The driver, feeling bored, decided to stay in the car. Since his boss would likely be a while, he might as well wait in the car in case he needed it urgently.
Back in the car, the driver took out his phone and was about to play a few games when his father suddenly called him. "Hello, Dad!"
The driver answered the call, and the next second, the smile on his face froze.
