Chapter 623: Chapter 622【What a Hypocrite】[PS: Here’s the second update for today. Please vote for the monthly ticket!!!]

Within the Ling family estate, it could be said that undercurrents had long been swirling, and a storm was already brewing. Only someone as naive as Ling Yuxun was still in the dark, though she knew that her eldest uncle, third aunt, and fourth aunt were opposed to moving the Ling family’s business back to the domestic market, she had no idea they were ruthless enough to go so far as murder to silence others. They hated not just her and her father, but they were even willing to go as far as killing their own brother, Ling Shuanghe.

This is what happens in wealthy families when the family business becomes so large that it tempts everyone, when each person is fighting for personal fame and profit—that is when people are most insane. Anything is possible, because to them, a day without wealth is more painful than death itself.

Ye Tianchen understood that to thoroughly resolve the Ling family’s affairs and eliminate these worries, it wasn’t enough to rely on violence and killing alone. There are some things that killing cannot help in the slightest; it required a step by step approach to completely dismantle some people’s conspiracies and schemes.

Following behind Ling Yuxun, Ye Tianchen noticed she had become somewhat haggard over the past few days. It seemed her worries were taking a toll, and with her grandfather Ling Shuanghe’s illness growing ever more serious, showing no signs of recovery, it naturally made Ling Yuxun even more anxious.

"Manager Apo, I didn’t know you could practice medicine; I’ve never heard of it before," Ling Yuxun said with a slight smile as they walked along.

"Oh, it’s just some minor medical skills, nothing sophisticated enough for grand occasions. Right now, during this critical period, casual comings and goings would only raise the alertness of the authorities in M country. It would make it even more difficult for us to leave later, so it’s better not to go out under normal circumstances," Ye Tianchen replied.

"Mmm, all I want is for Grandpa to be well and to leave the Ling family estate with me to return to China. As for the property and wealth, I really don’t want any of it. I’ve also persuaded Grandpa to let go," Ling Yuxun nodded and said with some concern.

Ye Tianchen was taken aback. He had not expected Ling Yuxun to be so open-minded. For a girl in her twenties, especially one as young as she was, to relinquish such external possessions was indeed rare. He wondered how many people were out there, who, for the sake of fame and money, would willingly give up not just their dignity but their integrity as well.

"It’s best if Miss Sun can think this way. Don’t worry, nothing will happen!" Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

Ling Yuxun glanced at Ye Tianchen, then hesitantly spoke, "Manager Apo, I know you belong to my great uncle, but you have been the estate’s manager since I was a child, and you’re not a bad person. I understand that my father being the helmsman of the Ling family did not sit well with my great uncle, and that’s understandable. Whatever happens, all I wish for is Grandpa to be safe and sound. As for the wealth, Dad and I have already discussed it—we can do without it!"

Hearing Ling Yuxun’s words, Ye Tianchen could feel that she was sincere. It seemed that Ling Yuxun had returned to M country not to gain a larger share of the family’s wealth but to ensure her grandfather’s safety. She was a kind girl, and her innocence and liveliness were precious traits. However, Ye Tianchen was currently playing the role of Apo, a close confidant of Ling Yuyang, the eldest young master and firstborn of the Ling family. Ling Yuyang’s thoughts and ambitions were discernible to anyone. Since Apo was a trusted ally of Ling Yuyang, it was certain that he would be on Ling Yuyang’s side.

"Miss Sun, rest assured, I will convey your thoughts to the young master. I believe he won’t make things difficult for you," Ye Tianchen imitated Apo’s manner as he spoke.

"Then I am grateful to you, Manager Apo!" Ling Yuxun said with a smile.

Ye Tianchen felt fortunate in his heart, relieved that he had discovered Apo’s conspiracy and killed him. Otherwise, that man, who had long been coveting Ling Yuxun, would surely have taken the opportunity to take advantage of her. Although Yuxun wasn’t foolish and had guessed some things, she was still very naive and unaware of the many dangers involved, some even life-threatening.

As Ye Tianchen followed Ling Yuxun into the single-story house, he found it reminiscent of the traditional courtyards in old Capital City. There were no tall buildings or luxurious villas, just some very old houses, though clean and tidy. A light was still on in the central house. Ling Yuxun pushed the door open and walked in, but as Ye Tianchen approached, two armed guards stopped him and indicated that they would have to
