Chapter 622: Chapter 621 [One Toxic Man, Two Ruthless Women]

[PS: The first update of the day is here. Please subscribe!!!]

Ye Tianchen walked out of the villa where Ling Qing of the Ling family’s fourth daughter lived, and couldn’t help but laugh depressingly to himself. Ling Qing turned out to be such a promiscuous woman. It seemed that this woman had been well ’trained’ by the strong men in M country, otherwise how could she have become like this? And this woman’s ambition was very big, even greater than Ling Xia’s, the third daughter. Ling Qing wanted to swallow the entire Ling family’s assets and did not care at all about Ling Yue or Ling Xia’s life or death. She truly was not a simple character.

Now, having used the ”Bone Transformation Skill” to take on Manager Apo’s appearance, Ye Tianchen had obtained three different pieces of information.

The first was that Ling Yuyang, the eldest son of the Ling family, had long been colluding with M country, plotting together for the family’s assets and even planning to kill his own father, Ling Shuanghe, to take control of the entire Ling family.

The second one was that Ling Xia, the third daughter of the Ling family, was a very cunning woman who had always been discreetly observing things. She was also standing on Ling Yuyang’s side. Perhaps she did not really want to live in M country, but she also wanted to take the opportunity to claim more of the Ling family’s assets. She had already clearly stated that she would stand on Ling Yuyang’s side and wanted thirty percent of the family’s ownership shares after everything was settled.

The third was that Ling Qing was an extremely slutty bitch. This woman couldn’t handle a day without a man and often resorted to self-comfort. However, if you thought of her merely as a woman indulging in carnal pleasures, you would be greatly mistaken. The biggest shock she gave to Ye Tianchen was her immense ambition; she even wanted to manage the Ling family’s assets jointly with Ling Yuyang, each controlling half. Could you say this woman wasn’t hugely ambitious?

And to Ye Tianchen, it felt like her ambition did not stop there.

After coming out of Ling Qing’s villa, Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but laugh and shake his head. Ling Shuanghe was truly tragic. Among his four children, aside from Ling Yue, all were plotting for his fortune, even his most beloved fourth daughter, Ling Qing, who had not only become a lascivious slut but also the most ambitious woman, unbeknownst to Ling Shuanghe. Life was just a play, and everyone was acting every day; to act in a good play was not really that difficult.

Ye Tianchen left the villa where Ling Qing lived, and standing on the balcony on the second floor of the villa, dressed in a provocative nightgown, Ling Qing continued to watch Ye Tianchen’s retreating figure, her confidant maid standing by her side.

”Miss, is there anything wrong?” The maid, seeing Ling Qing persistently staring at Ye Tianchen’s back, couldn’t help but ask.

”I don’t know. I just have a feeling that there’s something off about this Manager Apo, but I can’t quite put my finger on what it is!” Ling Qing frowned and said.

Ling Qing was a very smart and careful woman. She always felt that there was something off about this encounter with Manager Apo, but she could never pinpoint what exactly was wrong. To say there was a problem — but this was clearly Manager Apo, his physique and the voice he spoke with, including his gaze, nothing was different. However, Ling Qing had been intimate with Manager Apo before, and despite being around forty years old and not old, a woman who had been with a man before would definitely have a deeper understanding of him.

”The miss must be overthinking it. I suppose it’s because the matters within the estate are getting tenser, making Manager Apo more cautious too. If his and the young master’s plan fails, not only will they not get a bit of the Ling family’s assets, but they will also be directly driven out of the Ling family and never be able to return!” the maid thought for a moment and said.

”I hope so. To gain full control of the Ling family’s assets, the old man’s seal is needed. This seal has been with him since he started his business and eventually became the tool to mobilize all of the Ling family’s assets. Otherwise, it would be impossible to make those old farts in the Ling Group obey. But getting this seal won’t be easy. I suspect the elder brother and Manager Apo will stop at nothing, even killing the old man,” Ling Qing said with a rather indifferent demeanor, as if the person about to be killed, her own father, meant nothing at all to her.

”Then Miss, are we still going to help them get the seal? Why don’t we just...” the maid hesitated, starting to speak.

Ling Qing glanced at the maid, then looked toward Ye Tianchen, who was now far away, and said with a cold, vicious smile, ”I know what you mean. You’re asking why, if I can get the seal, don’t I just manage the entire Ling family myself, right? Let me tell you, the Ling family’s assets are spread all over the world, not just in M country. It’s very difficult for a woman to be convincing in managing the Ling family’s assets, especially now when the old man insists on relocating the Ling family back to the country. If the old man died, not only might it be impossible to control the Ling family’s assets, but it could also cause a lot of trouble. Whoever steps forward to manage the Ling family’s assets could potentially be suspected of having killed the old man. Then, it would be hard to deal with the old farts in the Ling family who are unconvinced, so I need Ling Yuyang’s help...”

”Miss, you mean...” the maid blinked in surprise, then her lips also revealed a hint of cruelty as she spoke.

”I need to first use Ling Yuyang to get my hands on the Ling family’s assets. Then I can deal with them one by one. Once Ling Yuyang, Ling Yue, and Ling Xia have all ’accidentally’ died, then the only person left who could inherit the Ling family’s assets would be me. I would naturally become the Chairperson. Who else could compete with me then?” Ling Qing envisioned herself already having become the Chairperson of the Ling Group, able to Call the Wind and Summon the Rain, omnipotent, and overwhelmed by how many men she could have, she couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

”I understand now, we are going to use a borrowed knife to kill someone,” the maid spoke up.

”That’s why I said helping Ling Yuyang get the old man’s seal was just a lie to deceive Manager Apo. Let them handle it themselves, it’s better to kill the old man sooner rather than later. By then, I’ll gradually implement my own plan!” Ling Qing said with a wicked laugh.

At this time, Ye Tianchen left the villa where Ling Qing lived. After stepping out, he still didn’t know which way to go. He couldn’t possibly ask anyone, could he? After all, exposing himself as the Ling family’s butler, who had lived in the Ling estate for decades, would surely raise suspicions.

Having nothing else to do, Ye Tianchen had also gathered some information, so he simply walked aimlessly. It didn’t matter where he ended up; it was fine to look around and familiarize himself with the terrain, which would come in handy when planning to rescue Ling Shuanghe and Ling Yuxun.

”Manager Apo, where are you going?” Just then, Ye Tianchen suddenly heard a very familiar and sweet voice. Turning around, it was none other than the girl Ling Yuxun, but he was currently disguised as Manager Apo.

”Miss Sun, I was just walking around to see if any suspicious people had come in,” Ye Tianchen casually replied.

”Oh, Manager Apo, could you help me get some medicine outside?” Ling Yuxun asked.

”Medicine? Is Miss Sun sick?” Ye Tianchen asked.

”No, it’s not me, it’s my grandfather. He’s been coughing badly these last few days, and the medicine we have at home isn’t working at all. I thought of buying some from outside, but the people from M country won’t allow anyone from the Ling family to go out, so I can’t go myself. Could you please go and buy it for me?” Ling Yuxun said.

Ye Tianchen was taken aback for a moment. He looked at Ling Yuxun, who indeed seemed much frailer than just a few days ago. The Ling estate was now a place of tension and danger. Besides her and her grandfather Ling Shuanghe, none of the others stood with them. In such a large family, especially one with vast business interests, when everyone vied for their own gain, familial affection became all the more scarce. However, Ling Yuxun probably didn’t know yet that her uncle, and two aunts were conspiring together, wishing they could kill her; otherwise, Ling Yuxun wouldn’t be asking Manager Apo for help. Such a naive and kind girl, it was fortunate he was here; otherwise, she might not even know how she had died.

”Manager Apo, Manager Apo?” Ling Yuxun seeing Ye Tianchen still dazed and not speaking, called out.

”Oh, going out at this pace is very risky. It might arouse the suspicions of those from M country. If they realized how serious the old man’s condition is, they might step up their pressure, which would be bad,” Ye Tianchen said.

”What, what should we do then?” Ling Yuxun asked in a somewhat panicked manner.

”It’s alright, I’ll come and take a look with you. I’ve learned a bit of medicine before, and I can cure minor colds,” Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

Ling Yuxun nodded, casting a puzzled glance at Ye Tianchen, wondering when Manager Apo had learned medicine. She’d never mentioned it before, but soon Ling Yuxun let it go. No matter what, as long as he could cure her grandfather’s cough, that was what mattered most.

Ye Tianchen followed Ling Yuxun, and after walking a few steps, he suddenly felt a sinister and powerful aura. Looking around, he saw no one suspicious, which made him frown. Could someone be secretly monitoring Ling Yuxun and Ling Shuanghe? Whose people would they be? From the sinister feeling of that aura, this person was very strong and not an ordinary character.

With that in thought, Ye Tianchen frowned. It seemed the Ling estate was already a place of turmoil. The affairs of the Ling family wouldn’t be easy to resolve. He needed to be extremely cautious.
