Ye Chen raised his head and chested, took a deep breath, and then walked towards the study. The old housekeeper looked at Ye Chen's back, a little excited, after all, the old housekeeper was a person who came over, and the time to calm down was very fast. He looked at Ye Chen's back, and a relieved expression emerged. That's the look of anticipation from the older generation to the younger generation.

The patriarch's study was in the back room with a panoramic sea view, and it was said that the cost of that study exceeded a million dollars. The pure gold statue in the study that Ye Chen still remembers, and the study room full of the smell of ancient books, are all some out-of-print books. Ye Chen walked into a dimly lit corridor, which was also covered with dark wool carpets, and the walls were hung with European-style wall lamps, and the lights were a little dim.

Ye Chen took a step and walked towards the second room. After a brief pause in the doorway, there was a knock.

"Come in!" a deep baritone voice came from the study. Ye Chen trembled visibly when he heard this voice. He struggled to control his emotions, then pushed the door open and stepped inside. In the room, it was bright, the curtains of the windows were opened, and facing the study was an invincible sea view, the beautiful, blue sea, a few seagulls slid through the air, a touch of sunset burned the whole sky, and then, the sea was also ignited by this raging group, and a touch of golden light seemed to appear on the whole sea.

And on the side of the window, an old man with silver hair sat on a bamboo Taishi chair. The old man had an oriental face, but spoke fluent English, and said, "You're back!"

"Yes!" Ye Chen nodded.

"I know, you must have come back to ask me about the crime this time, right?" The old man was still leaning back in his chair, not moving, making people feel a little stunned, Ye Chen had already been used to such a patriarch. In this world, Ye Chen's most admired and respected person probably belongs to the patriarch, he has the most powerful power in the world, but he is shocked in the face of anything. Even if the sky fell, he wouldn't have any look of horror.

"Don't dare!" Ye Chen replied lightly.

At this time, the old man finally stood up from the chair, and then turned to look at Ye Chen, the wrinkles on the old man's face, no one could guess that this old man was actually only in his sixties. Being in a high position, in the eyes of outsiders, he is pampered, but who knows the energy that the old man has put into the family in the past few years? Looking at the old man's old face, Ye Chen's eyes widened. The old man smiled faintly: "Xiao Ye, you are my most admired heir, and you are also my favorite." ”

"However, you didn't show up when I needed help the most!" Ye Chen looked at the old man very coldly.

"Yes!" the old man nodded and said, "I didn't show up, I even knew that Shen Haotian was going to deal with you, and I also knew that Yun Qi betrayed you." ”

Ye Chen's expression became even colder, as the patriarch, he actually said such a thing, didn't it contradict what he said earlier? Ye Chen looked at the old man with cold eyes, as if he was waiting for the old man to give him an answer. The patriarch smiled bitterly and said, "There are many disasters in wealthy families, and this is not false at all. Tang Xuanzong Li Shimin killed his brother Li Jiancheng. Although the Ross Jue family is not as good as a dynasty, the internal struggle has never been broken in the family. ”

"The first rule of the Ross Jue family, the heirs are not allowed to fight among themselves!" Ye Chen gritted his teeth and said.

"Yes!" the old man nodded, and said, "I've been thinking about this for a long time. If an heir can't even pass this level of intrigue, how can he become a qualified heir in the future?"

"So you just let Shen Haotian move?!" Ye Chen asked suspiciously.

"Yes, it's not!" The old man smiled faintly, then took two steps, walked to a bookshelf, took out a notebook, and then handed it to Ye Chen, saying, "It records some things about the days before Shen Haotian wanted to kill you, and I didn't make a move." However, I have kindly reminded you many times to watch your side. But you didn't listen to me!"

"I ......" Ye Chen was stunned.

"As an heir, you should be fully vigilant, whether it is external or internal!" The old man looked at Ye Chen solemnly and said, "Shen Haotian killed you, your woman betrayed you, I didn't make a move, because I regarded that incident as a test for you." If you can pass the test, then you will be the ultimate heir to Lord Rose, and if you can't pass the test, then there is no use saying more. ”

"But, I'm back alive now!" Ye Chen gritted his teeth and said.

"Yes, that's exactly what I'm looking forward to, you're finally back!" the old man let out a breath of relief and said, "The burden that has been pressed on me for more than 20 years can finally be loosened!"

"I don't think I can inherit the position of patriarch for the time being!" Ye Chen looked at the old man seriously.

"Oh, why?" asked the old man curiously.

"I still have a lot of things to do, give me a year, and when I deal with the things that need to be dealt with, I will be back!" Ye Chen's knot in his heart was finally untied, so he was relieved, and this time he came to the patriarch to ask why he didn't save himself back then. Now that he has received an answer that he is satisfied with, Ye Chen's heart is relieved.

The old man hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes, but you must now perform the baptism of the patriarch." ”

"Wouldn't that announce that I am the heir?" Ye Chen frowned.

"Yes!" the old man nodded, and said, "In this way, you will be hunted by more people, and I think this may be the last test for you to climb to the position of the patriarch of the Ross Lord!"

Ye Chen smiled and said, "What should come will always come, so just let the storm come more violently!"

"Haha......" The old man suddenly raised his head and laughed, "Xiao Ye, your character is still so hard!"

Ye Chen came back, and the news spread in Xiaoyao City in an instant, and several other heirs in the Rose Jue family immediately felt a sense of crisis. This sense of crisis is definitely emanating from the heart, and every heir to the throne will launch a massacre, which is the bloodshed within the wealthy family. In order to consolidate their rule, they must kill all those heirs. And the older generation will all abdicate. A new generation of successors will follow.

The country needs to be renewed, and the blood needs to be replaced. Families also need to be renewed, and blood needs to be replaced. It is a continuation of life, a continuation of the flame of a race. Natural selection, survival of the fittest.

In the entire Xiaoyao City, a few families are happy and a few are sad. The city expressed eager congratulations on Ye Chen's return. On the night of the same day, fireworks were set off in the main castle of the Ross family, and the fireworks worth more than 200,000 US dollars rose into the sky, making the entire Easy City beautiful.

Ye Chen stood at the top of the castle, facing a gust of sea breeze, and suddenly stood at the peak of this world, Ye Chen suddenly became a little unaccustomed. From an ordinary bastard, he suddenly became the heir of the world's hidden family, and he was also the ultimate heir, which made Ye Chen feel a sense of gain and loss. Although all those memories have returned, there are some things that cannot be replaced.

For example, once friendships, once loves, all the past......

"Young master, it's cold, let's wear a dress!" The old man staggered, carrying a heavy coat and walked up, Ye Chen took the coat in the old housekeeper's hand, and said with a smile: "Old housekeeper, thank you!"

"Young master, you will see the outside world when you say this, you are going to become the patriarch!" the old butler smiled and said, "I will serve you in the future." Perhaps, I will become the first old man of the Ross Lord family to serve three generations of patriarchs!"

Ye Chen smiled and didn't say anything. The old butler chattered in Ye Chen's ear: "Young master, you must be careful when you come back this time." Now there are constant internal contradictions in the family, and external troubles are constantly coming. The patriarch is busy with all these things, so you must be careful!"

"What's going on with the Tchaikov family?" Ye Chen took a puff of his cigarette, and in the dark, the stars were shining.

"The Tchaikov family is nothing, the key is the Doomsday family's side, which has had a huge impact on our market!" the old butler sighed and said, "They didn't pay any attention to the agreements they had signed, and a large number of products and some low-cost raw materials poured into Asia and Eastern Europe. This has had a significant impact on our market. Moreover, our family members on the periphery have already reported this serious problem to us many times. ”

"Doomsday Family!" Ye Chen silently remembered in his mind. Then he said coldly: "Behind this, there must be the shadow of the Columbor Chamber of Commerce, right?"

"Yes!" the old butler nodded.

Bang......

With a loud bang, a salute rushed into the sky at a height of a thousand meters, and then bloomed a huge colorful light, in the major streets of the city, already surrounded by a crowd of onlookers, at this time everyone has already gotten off work, whether it is from the manor, or in the various shopping malls and supermarkets in the city of Xiaoyao employees have gathered on the side of the road to watch.
