CHAPTER 150: CHAPTER 150: THE YE FAMILY HAS BEEN ACQUIRED

Ningwan brought Ye Shao to a KTV and booked a large private room.

"What would you like to order, sir and miss?" the waiter asked.

Ningwan said, "Sunflower seeds, peanuts, a small hot pot. Oh, and my brother Ye Shao is still growing, so bring us a bowl of rice too."

Waiter: "..."

"Alright, please wait a moment."

The customer is always right, and their requests have only two words: be satisfied.

Soon, sunflower seeds, peanuts, a small hot pot, and a solid bowl of rice were served.

It seemed the waiter was from the north, as he also provided them with two large steamed buns and three meat buns.

Ningwan and Ye Shao had been busy all day and were already hungry.

While cooking the hot pot, they watched TV, transforming the KTV private room into a hot pot place.

"Sister, we can’t stay here forever!" Ye Shao asked worriedly after eating his fill.

Ningwan said, "Of course, we can’t stay here forever. I’ve already asked someone to help get our ID cards. Once we get them, we can stay at a hotel."

"Why not buy a house?"

Ye Shao knew his sister had some money, and staying at a hotel continuously would be expensive.

He still had to take the college entrance exam here; it wasn’t like they’d stay for just one or two days.

"What if it’s burned down again after buying? Staying at a hotel makes the other party slightly hesitant," Ningwan said.

"Sister, do you know who burned the house?" Ye Shao asked.

"I’m not sure; it’s all just speculation. You shouldn’t ask so much as a kid. Just eat up, wash up, and get some rest. I’ll take you to buy books tomorrow morning. It’s not a big deal if they’re burned; we can’t miss out on studying for the entrance exam."

"Okay, I understand." Ye Shao obediently nodded.

Seeing him so well-behaved and obedient, Ningwan felt somewhat comforted.

She wondered how Zhan Hanjue was doing now. Was he thinking about killing her all the time?

Just then, her phone rang.

Ningwan saw it was Wu Taotao calling and quickly went to the bathroom to answer.

"Taotao, what’s up?"

"Ningning, did you see the news? Zhan Hanjue took over the Ye Family."

Ningwan: "..."

She opened the headline news and saw reports of the Zhan Group acquiring the Ye Group.

From now on, there were only three prominent families left in Jiangcheng.

And the Lin Family was also in name only, now controlled by Zhan Hanjue.

Therefore, the so-called four major families of Jiangcheng were now dominated by the Zhan Family.

Ningwan was not too surprised by this outcome; she had anticipated it long ago.

Zhan Hanjue had been plotting this from a long time ago, seemingly collaborating with the Ye Family, but actually slowly swallowing them, eventually taking over.

Unfortunately, apart from Ye Pengcheng, no one in the Ye Family was wise enough.

Ye Pengcheng was dying, and a dying person couldn’t worry about so much or think of so many things.

So, it was only a matter of time before the Ye Family collapsed.

But why was Zhan Hanjue closing the net at this time? What’s his intention?

Revenge on her?

Did he forget that she had no feelings for the Ye Family at all?

Whether the Ye Family went bankrupt or not had nothing to do with her.

"I saw the news, but it has nothing to do with me," Ningwan said.

Wu Taotao said, "The Ye Family’s bankruptcy has nothing to do with you, but did you see another report? It talks about the Ye Family’s scandal, and one piece is about your father."

"Didn’t see it, send it to me," Ningwan said.

Wu Taotao quickly sent her a link.

Ningwan hung up the phone and opened the link.

After reading the report, she was infuriated.

What kind of gossip news was this?

It wrote that her father, Ye Zhuoliang, wasn’t favored by Ye Pengcheng not only because his birth caused the death of his mother, Ye Pengcheng’s first wife.

It was also because Ye Zhuoliang wasn’t Ye Pengcheng’s son.

Before Ye Pengcheng’s wife got pregnant, she had an unfortunate encounter.

Not long after, Ye Zhuoliang was born.

Regarding Ye Zhuoliang’s background, Ye Pengcheng always had doubts.

So, he didn’t like Ye Zhuoliang.

This report detailed the situation as if it had eyewitness accounts. In the end, it even stated that this matter was recognized by members of the Ye Family.

A long-hidden family secret finally had clues.

"What clues?"

Ningwan was so angry she almost threw her phone.

She had once thought it would be easier to accept if she wasn’t part of the Ye Family.

Unfortunately, she had a blood relationship with the Ye Family, an unchangeable fact.

Now, they were slandering her father’s reputation; their hearts were truly malicious.

"Sister, what’s wrong?" Ye Shao knocked on the door.

Ningwan said, "It’s nothing."

"Who are you people?"

Suddenly, they heard Ye Shao questioning outside.

Ningwan frowned and immediately pushed the door open.

Outside, she saw several burly men holding a knife, slashing at Ye Shao.

Ye Shao raised his arm to block, and the knife struck his arm, blood gushing out.

The man in black was about to slash again when Ningwan’s silver needle flew out, accurately hitting the acupoint on the man’s wrist.

The man’s hand numbed, and the knife fell to the ground.

Ningwan quickly pulled the injured Ye Shao and ran out.

Ye Shao clutched his arm, and the siblings dashed out of the KTV.

But those men in black, holding knives, brazenly chased after them.

They finally ran out of the KTV, and by then it was very late.

There weren’t many people on the street.

After a long while, they saw a taxi, and Ningwan waved her hand to stop it.

But as soon as the taxi driver saw Ye Shao was injured and people were chasing them, he hit the gas and sped off.

"Bastard," Ningwan couldn’t help but curse.

But cursing was useless; the taxi driver didn’t want any trouble.

Seeing those men in black getting closer, holding knives, and approaching step by step.

Ningwan and Ye Shao were exhausted.

Ningwan could only shield Ye Shao behind her, thinking about what to do next to protect him.

"Miss Ye, don’t be afraid."

Just then, a van drove up.

A group of people with sticks and weapons got out, surrounding Ningwan and Ye Shao.

Ningwan frowned, wondering who these people were.

Soon, a black business car drove up.

The car door opened, and surprisingly, it was Xie Mingyu’s personal assistant.

Ningwan knew she was called Tingyu.

Xie Mingyu had four personal maids who elegantly were called assistants.

Xie Mingyu named them, possibly to show his elegance, so the four were named: Tingyu, Shangxue, Wangyue, Xunyou.

When she first heard these names, she almost laughed.

But these four assistants were different from other maids. Other maids were responsible for cleaning.

And the four of them were to carry out tasks for Xie Mingyu.

What tasks they did, Ningwan wasn’t sure, but she rarely saw them at the Xie Family.

Tingyu wore a black leather jacket and pants, highlighting her hot figure.

With a high ponytail, looking valiant and spirited, she got out of the car holding a pair of nunchaku.
