Chapter 134 Xiao Bings Deadly Counterattack (2/2)
”Of course I won't pay lip service. The witness is by your side.”
Ye Tianming flinched. He then appeared shocked and looked back at Zhang Zedan.
Zhang Zedan walked away from Ye Tianming behind and stood behind Xiao Bing. He said, ”Young Master Ye, I'm really sorry... I betrayed you.”
Ye Tianming's heart sank. Zhang Zedan knew too much about him. He had never thought of guarding against Zhang Zedan before as people like Zhang Zedan often worked for money and they would never rely on the help of the police. Who would ever think that Zhang Zedan would betray him?
Ye Tianming looked at Zhang Zedan calmly and said, ”Why?”
Zhang Zedan smiled and said, ”I have told Young Master before that I am mercenary. If others pay a higher price, I will work for others. It happens that Mr. Xiao has deep pockets and has given me a large sum of money, which is equivalent to working for Young Master Ye for five years...”
Xiao Bing sighed and said, ”Tianming, you are overconfident. Do you think you can make everyone around you be loyal to you? Even your trusted aide is mercenary. Recently, I have been asking my brother Lil Bei to investigate the people around you. He handed all their information including Zhang Zedan's to me. I then found out that Zhang Zedan was a breakthrough and met him privately. Although we have only talked once, we have already reached a consensus.”
”But if you think that Zhang Zedan only cares about his interest, you are also wrong. A person like you, who can be so cruel and kill his sister and father, may kill him one day. Hence, he is a wise man.”
Zhang Zedan sighed and said, ”Initially, Mr. Xiao placed a large sum of money in front of me. Although I was tempted, I didn't intend to betray Young Master. Only after Mr. Xiao said those words, I then compromised. Young master, you are really heartless. I am afraid I will lose my life one day if I continue to follow you.”
Ye Tianming did not get angry, but said calmly, ”You are right, so you are a smart person. I never hate smart people. I just blame myself. Brother Bing, I admit that I have always looked down on you. I thought that you are a man who would resolve matters through your fist. I didn't expect that you have already started to suspect and investigate me. You even bribed my trusted aide. I admit that I have lost.”
Ye Tianming drank a cup of tea and said smilingly, ”I won't hate or feel wronged for losing to my future brother-in-law.”
Yezi said tearfully, ”Elder brother, why did you...”
”Do you still remember Swallow?”
”Sister Swallow? I remember her. Sister Swallow was very kind to me.”
”Ye Xinyi sent someone to knock her over with a car.”
Yezi was shocked. She somewhat understood. Her brother didn't kill her sister because of wealth. It was because... Yezi now realized how dispirited and depressed elder brother was after Sister Swallow had passed away. Even Father's authority was unable to control and suppress him. He was drunk every day. Finally, Father sent someone to imprison him so to make him reflect...
At that time, elder brother was so sad that he even nearly committed suicide. Then one day he suddenly cheered up and worked harder than ever. At that time, Yezi didn't feel anything wrong. It was until now when she suddenly realized that elder brother had learned about the truth. The reason why he cheered up was that hatred was his driving factor. He did a great job of hiding his feelings. However, there was only one thing in his mind, revenge!
Yezi asked, ”What about Father?”
”Our father?” Ye Tianming sneered and hesitated slightly. He then shook his head and looked at Yezi reluctantly. He said sincerely, ”Little sister, I has reached a point of no return. I don't want to say too much as I don't want to add to your troubles.”
Yezi shouted, ”Say. Why don't you want to say? Elder brother, I have always thought that you are not that kind of person. You are not that kind of person who will ignore familial ties for the sake of wealth. Since young, you have been treating me so well...”
Yezi started crying.
Ye Tianming chuckled. His eyes reddened, but he said cruelly, ”It was all a lie. I was acting.”
Looked at this scene, Xiao Bing felt uncomfortable. Although he had won, this was not what Xiao Bing wanted. Wouldn't it be great if nothing had happened?
Xiao Bing sighed and said, ”Tianming, you are a good-hearted person by nature. In fact, you are quite pitiful. Although you don't want to say, someone may know the answer. Push Uncle Lei in!”
The door of the conference room creaked open, only to find a man sitting in a wheelchair. He was wrapped in medicinal bandage like a mummy. He was pushed into the room. This person is Ye Family's best master Bao Lei who had survived the fire. His body was severely burned and he barely survived. Lil Bei's underlings brought him to the hospital. After being rescued, he told Xiao Bing a big secret. This secret made Xiao Bing's hatred towards Ye Tianming turn into sympathy.
”There are too many mistakes in this world. I just hope that the world can no longer have such tragedies…” Xiao Bing said this furtively.
