Life is like a play, and drama is like life.

Every bit of life can be regarded as a play, from the deceit between individuals, to the open and secret struggle between families, and even to the game of national opinions.

The struggle for interests between businessmen and the struggle for power between the powerful and powerful cannot escape this category.

And in this world, any scene is divided into inside and outside the play, in front of and behind the scenes.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the drama of the upper-level game is only performed by those bigwigs who often show their faces on TV, but in fact, everyone who enters the drama knows that compared with the drama in front of the scene, the drama behind the scenes is not inferior at all, and even more exciting and cruel.

Once, in the Yanjing Hotel, the Ye family did not hesitate to use all resources in order to humiliate the Pei family, including He Lao, a group of old people behind the scenes who supported the Ye family went to cheer one after another, but Pei Wufu took more bigwigs and old people, slapped in the face and was humiliated.

This time, Pei Donglai took advantage of his trip to Japan to start with the group of old people who supported the Ye family behind the scenes, relying on the four major families and the leaders in the system and the group of supporters behind them, once again used the trick of drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle like pure gold, which directly made the Ye family lose the support of the group of old people led by He Lao.

For He Lao's group of people, the influence and the resources and energy that can be mobilized can't catch up with the old lady of the Chen family.

But as the saying goes: a fence with three piles, a hero with three gangs.

The influence and deterrence formed by the sum of many old people like He Lao are far beyond the incomparable power of the old lady of the Chen family, and this is also the greatest reliance of the Ye family in the past few years to stand tall in the republic.

Now, the Ye family, who has lost this dependence, is undoubtedly kicked off the altar as Xu Li thought in her heart.

In such a situation, in the face of Ye Ban's inquiry, looking at the expectant expressions of Ye Ban and Xu Li, Ye Shi did not answer.

He didn't know how to answer.

It all came so suddenly, so suddenly that he didn't prepare for anything.

What's more, the attitude of the group of old people represented by He Lao is extremely resolute, and they are resolute to the point that they cannot be shaken!

"Dad...... Dad, is there really nothing to be done? ”

Seeing that Ye Shi, who had never bowed his head in the struggle all his life, was dumbfounded and silent, Ye Ban's heart hung directly in his throat, and his tone revealed deep concern: "Without the support of He Lao, with that kid's style of killing everything, if we can continue to rely on those who are not used to us, our situation will be very dangerous."

At risk?

Why didn't Ye Shi know this?

Still no answer.

Ye Shi's mind couldn't help but think of Pei Donglai's unfamiliar face, which was by no means unfamiliar.

He remembered that Pei Donglai risked being humiliated by the Ye family at the risk of being humiliated by the Qin family, stepped into the Forbidden City, stood on the rostrum of Yanyuan, and faced economic experts from all over the country calmly, slapped Ye Zhengrong hard, and was shocked.

He also remembered Pei Donglai's fierce spirit and peerless demeanor in leading the Tenglong Special Operations Team to completely destroy the Dragon Tooth Reserve Team with zero casualties.

He remembered that when he met Pei Donglai at the Yanjing Hotel, even under the premise of facing the powerful people in the entire hall and being isolated, Pei Donglai never bent his back and chose to admit defeat, but stubbornly clenched his fists, with a posture of confronting fate and reality!

"I was wrong, I was wrong all these years, although you said that you have 'only the country in your heart, not a home', but you still have this family in your heart - you just put the country first! You are the most suitable person to take over the Ye family! ”

"You are indeed wrong, but it is not because of this matter - you are wrong because you should not be ungrateful to drive Wanqing out of the Ye family, let alone kill the Pei family!"

……

"You called me at this time, you didn't want to intercede for that evil seed, did you?"

"I spoke to him last night, and he and I reached an agreement that if the Ye family doesn't make a fuss about this matter, the grievances of the Pei Ye family will be written off."

"A write-off? Hehe...... Hehehe...... Hehehehehe......"

"That evil seed killed Zheng Rong, so that Xiao Ban lost the opportunity to stand at the top, and our Ye family's vitality was greatly damaged! At this time, he wants to write it off, is it possible? What capital does he have to say this?? ”

"The Xi family is his backer - the hole card left by Pei Wufu."

"Huh? Are you sure? ”

"Sure."

"That's the best—although I don't think that all forces, including the Xi family, will come forward to protect him at this time, but I'd rather see that happen! Because...... Rather than killing that evil seed, I would like to see those three old things offend a large number of people because of this, and those people will join us and bring our Ye family back to glory! ”

……

Thinking about it, thinking about it, Ye Shi's ears couldn't help but echo the conversation between him and Ye Gucheng after the end of the Daxinganling case that day, after Ye Ban went to Langshan Prison to make a big mistake, and also echoed a few days ago, Pei Donglai beat up a Japanese student and Ri. Root. stationed in the East China Sea. After the staff of the museum, it caused huge public opinion pressure, and Ye Gucheng talked to him.

Difficult...... Am I really wrong??

Thinking back on all this, Ye Shidi couldn't help but secretly ask himself in his heart, and for the first time began to question his decision.

Later, in the surprised eyes of Ye Ban and Xu Li, Ye Shi's face rarely showed a little remorse, and then ...... His heart moved, and he vaguely thought of something, and a light appeared in his originally dull eyes.

He still didn't answer Ye Ban's words, but grabbed the microphone that he had dropped before and dialed a number.

Seeing this, Ye Ban and Xu Li didn't dare to say anything, but looked forward to Ye Shi being able to turn the tide.

"It's me."

Soon, the phone was connected, and Ye Shi, who had always been as calm as a mountain, was the first to speak in a rare manner, and his tone was extremely complicated.

There was no response.

On the other end of the phone, the Dragon King Ye Gucheng, who was the leader of the Dragon Tooth, stood on the playground of the Dragon Tooth base, looking at the brilliant starry sky, silent.

"You know better than I do what is happening on the Japanese side."

Seeing that Ye Gucheng didn't speak, Ye Shi gritted his teeth and said a little aggrieved: "But you may not know, just now, He Fengshun called me to tell me that they will no longer support us in the future." ”

"I know."

Ye Gucheng spoke, his tone seemed to be as cold as ever, but if you carefully distinguish it, you will notice that his tone has a little more emotional fluctuations than usual, very slight, but real.

"How do you know?" Ye Shi was slightly surprised.

Ye Gucheng retracted his gaze, his originally slightly trance-like gaze became sharp, and he felt as if he had made some kind of decision, and his tone was completely indifferent, without any emotion: "Not only do I know this, but I also know that you called me at this time to ask me to go to Donglai to talk and end this battle in a peaceful way." ”

“——”

Seeing that Ye Gucheng had guessed his intentions, Ye Shi raised his eyebrows, and his face was even more surprised, but he didn't speak.

For Ye Shi, who is at the top of the pyramid of power, he cares more about face than the magnates below, which is why he insisted on making the Pei family and his son pay the price because of the Qin family's unilateral breach of the contract and the cold war with the Qin family.

And yet—

Today, whether it is the Pei family or the Ye family, it is not what it used to be.

He knew very well that without the support of He Lao's group, with the current situation, if Pei Donglai insisted on bringing down the Ye family, with the help of the four major families and some other people, the Ye family would completely fall, and there would be no suspense!

On the contrary, if Pei Donglai is as said a few days ago, the grievances of the Pei and Ye families will be written off, then although the Ye family will be much worse than before, it will not completely fall - Pei Donglai is the link connecting several major forces. Without Pei Donglai, several major forces may not be able to twist into a rope.

In this way, without the support of He Lao and others, even if the Ye family relies on its own foundation, it is not something that any force can say can be uprooted.

"In the Ye family, he has no hatred for you, on the contrary, because of what you did in the Yanjing Hotel and in the Daxinganling incident that day, he is grateful to you in his heart, and even treats you as an uncle. If you go to him, he will probably sell your face and let the Ye family survive-according to what I know about him, although he acts in a strong heroic style, he is also a person who values love and righteousness. ”

After a little silence, Ye Shi spoke, his tone was complicated, as if he never dreamed that he would one day lower his head and beg for someone, and he was asking for a grassroots teenager who was not even interested in letting him look at it!

"Back then, when Wanqing and Wufu fell in love, you didn't talk about feelings, but about identity, status, family interests; Later, after the two sides fell out, you still didn't talk about feelings, but about law and power; Now, you have been cornered by a hairy boy who once made all the Ye family members ignore it, and you have begun to talk about feelings. ”

As he spoke, the corners of Ye Gucheng's mouth tugged at a mocking smile: "Don't you think it's too late?" ”

It's late......

Ye Shi was speechless.

"Just a few days ago, he tried to talk to you about feelings, but you didn't talk to him, and now if you go to talk to him again, he won't talk to you."

Ye Gucheng asked and answered himself, and a faint emotional fluctuation appeared in his tone again: "Similarly, I won't talk to him - I don't want to alarm Wanqing's soul, and I don't want her dead to become a bargaining chip for interests again!" ”

"Lonely City ......"

"Dut...... Toot ......"

Ye Shi tried to say something more, but found that Ye Gucheng had hung up the phone, and his face turned blue with anger.

On the playground of the Dragon Tooth Base, Ye Gucheng did not leave, but looked at the stars in the sky and said something that only he could hear.

"Hatred is the source of power that stimulates a person's greatest potential, and it is also the bane that makes a person fall into the abyss - in just one year, Donglai has changed from a pawn to a cannon and then to today's car, and has the potential to slay dragons, and the fall of the Ye family is a foregone conclusion."

"Takefu, whether you're hiding behind the scenes or going to heaven, you can be proud - there is no better chess player in this world than you!

"What's even more rare is that you are still a good teacher and a good father!"

When the words fell, Dragon King Ye Gucheng's face was full of respect.

This time.

It's not because of Pei Wufu's bursting force value. (To be continued)
