Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 645: Chapter 644 [Ling Yuyang Loses His Reason]

[PS: The second update for today has arrived. The updates are stable, and the plot is exciting. Slay!]

Ling Yuyang could no longer wait, he couldn’t wait to take control of the entire Ling family, to possess the whole Ling Group. He had waited for decades, endured for decades, and finally, the day had come. He could no longer hide his excitement and arrogance. Before Ling Shuanghe even announced him as the next chairman of the Ling Group, Ling Yuyang had snatched the microphone in his eagerness and began to speak words of thanks, causing many in the audience to be taken aback and frown. No one had expected the usually composed and dignified Ling Yuyang to lose his composure like this. Could it be that all his previous calmness and humility were fake?

”What’s going on? Why is Ling Yuyang losing his composure like this?”

”No way, he grabbed the microphone even before Old Master Ling could announce it. That’s too... ”

”The Ling Group is the foremost Chinese enterprise overseas, wealthy enough to rival countries. Becoming the chairman of the Ling Group is a lifetime dream for many, incomparable to ordinary rich and noble families. Anyone would be excited...”

”But he shouldn’t lose his composure in front of so many people, and they are all shareholders of the Ling Group. How will he command respect in the future?”

Some of the Ling Group shareholders sitting below had already begun to discuss among themselves, because Ling Yuyang’s performance was too obvious, giving people the impression that he couldn’t wait to oust his own father. Although the business world is like a battlefield where too much sentiment cannot interfere, such ruthlessness would be despised by many.

Here it must be said that many people believe business competition is merciless, devoid of sentiment, ’no poison, no great man’. But many are mistaken, as the real major enterprises and companies don’t operate that way; they put people first. It is precisely because of such humanity that they can garner more help and cooperate better.

Perhaps realizing this, Ling Yuyang’s face turned slightly red, yet he still forced a smile and stepped back two steps. He glared fiercely at Ling Shuanghe and said, ”You old undead, can’t you finish what you have to say all at once? Hurry up and speak!”

Ling Shuanghe ignored Ling Yuyang and went straight to the lectern. Smiling, he said, ”My old friends, all shareholders, as everyone can see, I am announcing that I will now pass the chairmanship of the Ling Group to...”

Ling Yuyang instantly straightened up again, walked proudly to the front of the lectern, looking at those who had been talking about him privately, feeling very displeased. He thought about how he would deal with these people once he became the chairman of the Ling Group.

”... to my second son, Ling Yue. Not only will he be in charge of the Ling Group, but the entire Ling family will also be under his say. As for my eldest son, Ling Yuyang, he has already sided with the thieves of the American government, conspiring to betray our Ling Group and tarnish all us elders with the infamy of treachery and glory-seeking in our dying days. Therefore, from today onwards, I sever all father-son ties with Ling Yuyang. From now on, in my Ling family, in my Ling Group, there is no place for this person!”

With a buzz, everyone’s minds exploded with Ling Shuanghe’s words that no one had expected. None of the people present had anticipated this turn of events. They were ready to applaud, thinking Ling Shuanghe would hand over the Ling Group to his eldest son, Ling Yuyang. But who could have foreseen such an outcome? Ling Yuyang was completely stunned as if he had turned into an idiot. He had never imagined Ling Shuanghe would speak these words at the last moment, not only giving the Ling Group to Ling Yue but also completely casting him out of the Ling family. What was happening?

”You...” Ling Yuyang looked at Ling Shuanghe in disbelief, unable to speak for a moment.

”What about me? Shouldn’t I have been under your control? Shouldn’t I have ingested the drug you administered to me? You beast, even attempting to harm your own father, what else are you incapable of doing!” Ling Shuanghe bellowed furiously.

”That can’t be, you clearly... Ah Pi!” Suddenly, Ling Yuyang seemed to recall something and turned to glare fiercely at Ye Tianchen, continuing, ”Ah Pi, did you betray me?”

”It’s not betrayal because I’m not Ah Pi. Take a good look at who I am...” As Ye Tianchen spoke, his entire figure and appearance quickly changed, returning to his original appearance.

”Tianchen!” Ling Yuxun, seeing Ye Tianchen, called out joyfully.

”You... You’re Ye Tianchen?” Ling Yuyang asked, unable to believe it.

”Ling Yuyang, you have lost. You won’t get the Ling Group, you will be left with nothing,” said Ye Tianchen calmly.

Ling Shuanghe walked up to Ling Yuyang, his heart aching. His own son had conspired for so long to wrest control of the inheritance, even becoming a lackey for the American government. Now, to gain the entire Ling Group, deceiving his father was one thing, but to actually plan to kill him, how could Ling Shuanghe not be heartbroken?

”Dad, I’m sorry, forgive me, forgive me, I didn’t mean it, I didn’t mean it, I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong...” Yu Yang suddenly knelt on the ground, his whole face pale and covered in sweat. He knew he was finished, that all was lost—he had lost.

”Forgive you? You know you were wrong? All these years, how many chances have I given you? Do you think I was biased towards your younger brother? You’re mistaken. At first, I wanted you to take charge of the entire Ling Group, but you... I gave you so many chances, and you’ve made a mess of the company’s affairs. Do you understand? You don’t have the capability. I can’t hand the Ling Group over to you; doing so would be unfair to my old friends who fought by my side, and to all the employees of the Ling Group,” Ling Shuanghe’s entire body trembled as he shouted, his heart aching as a father.

”Dad, I know I was wrong, please forgive me, forgive me...” Yu Yang knelt on the ground, grabbing Ling Shuanghe’s hands and begging with tears.

”You’ve disappointed me too much. I don’t have a son like you. I gave you chances, I even directly gave you thirty percent of the Ling Group’s shares, hoping you could develop well on your own. Who knew you would collude with the M country’s thieves. Who knew you...” As Ling Shuanghe spoke, he felt dizzy. His age meant that excitement could easily trigger illness.

”Grandpa, are you okay?” Yuxun hurried forward to support Ling Shuanghe, asking with concern.

”Get out, get out of my sight. I don’t have a son like you. Get out of the Ling family...” Ling Shuanghe yelled at Yu Yang.

Suddenly, Yu Yang stood up from the ground. Since he was less than half a meter away from Ling Shuanghe, he quickly reached him and pushed Yuxun aside. At the same time, he pressed a dagger against Ling Shuanghe’s throat. Everyone present was stunned by this abrupt turn of events. Before they could recover from the shock, Yu Yang was now threatening his own father with a knife. What was he trying to do? Murder his own father?

Ye Tianchen quickly rushed over, approaching Yu Yang. Startled, Yu Yang immediately pressed the knife against Ling Shuanghe’s throat and stepped back, saying fiercely, ”Don’t come any closer, or I’ll kill him!”

”Kill him, what do I care? He’s your biological father, not mine. Think carefully!” Ye Tianchen said calmly.

”Hmph, biological father? Ha ha ha ha, you’re wrong. I stopped acknowledging this old immortal as my dad long ago. If I kill him, can you complete your mission? Step back, step back!” Yu Yang shouted loudly.

Ye Tianchen frowned and took a step back, pulling up Yuxun, who was beside him. He had not expected such a sudden incident, or rather, he absolutely did not expect Yu Yang to be capable of murdering his own father.

”Yu Yang, don’t make any more mistakes!” Ling Shuanghe sighed.

”You old beast, I want you to say now that you will hand over the Ling Group to me to manage. Say it!” Yu Yang shouted aggressively, pressing the dagger in his right hand fiercely against his neck.

”What’s the use of saying it? Do you think the M country’s government are easy to deal with? If you get control of the Ling Group, they will kill you afterward. At most, you’ll just be a puppet!” Ling Shuanghe shouted back.

”It’s better than having nothing and watching my younger brother take over the Ling Group. You old immortal, if you don’t say it, I’ll kill you right now!” Yu Yang said fiercely.

”Don’t... don’t kill my grandfather. We can negotiate anything, uncle. I can get my father to give up the chairman position to you, just please don’t hurt Grandpa!” Yuxun hurriedly pleaded anxiously.

”Give up? Do I need your father to give up anything?” Yu Yang yelled at Yuxun.

At this moment, several of the older generation who were sitting at the front all stood up and said seriously to Yu Yang, ”You won’t be able to get the Ling Group like this. We will never agree to you managing the Ling Group. Even if Brother Ling allows you to take over, we will never agree!”

”Agree? You old immortals, do I need your agreement? Let me tell you, if you don’t agree, you won’t be leaving here alive. The whole Ling Group has already been surrounded by the M country’s government. Just one word from me and all of you are dead!” Yu Yang laughed wildly.

”You...” Suddenly, many people panicked. Nobody expected Yu Yang to truly collude with the M country’s government, nor that the M country’s government had surrounded the Ling Group. Everyone knew the M country’s government were shameless bandits, and feared that anyone who disagreed with Yu Yang might be killed. (To be continued.
