Capítulo 921: Chapter 920: The CEO Faces the Life and Death Arena

“I’ll go.”

Bo Tingshen’s deep and resonant voice fell, and for a moment, the Ye family members all directed their shocked gazes at him, even Ye Shaowen was stunned.

What… did he say?

He’s willing to go to the Life and Death Arena for Xiao Yezi?

“No way!”

Ye Xian immediately turned around, refusing without a second thought.

Xia Hewan: “That’s right, Tingshen, challenging the strongest disciple from the Ancient Martial Sect is no child’s play, we must not act impulsively.”

Ye Zhuoxuan: “No, no, this matter is a dispute between our Ye family and the Lu family, how can we involve you? Moreover, it’s a life-and-death matter as significant as the arena!”

“Xianxian’s problems are my problems.”

“But…” Ye Xian hadn’t opened her mouth yet when Bo Tingshen looked at her intently, his dark profound eyes flowing with gentle affection, “Uncle and Aunt, don’t worry. Previously, I submitted the AKAM contract to Lu’s, and Chairman Lu’s attitude wavered. Now to suddenly change tune, it’s probably because the Lu family once held significant power and influence in the Imperial Capital, and they held a family banquet just for Xianxian; they can’t afford to lose face, so the Life and Death Arena might just be going through the motions, ease their anger and it’ll be fine.”

How could that be! He’s fooling a three-year-old kid, right? Lu’s outright refused even the AKAM contract, which could save their company from crisis, insisting on setting up a Life and Death Arena, they’re clearly tearing things apart!

Ye Xian wanted to speak up, but was interrupted by Shangguan Yunli, “I completely agree with Tingshen, Lu Group’s current situation is precarious, how could they not be tempted by AKAM’s juicy deal? It’s just that the Ancient Martial Sect’s tradition is rigid and face-oriented, so this Life and Death Arena is probably just to give them a step down. As long as we don’t withdraw the contract and also participate in the arena, it’s equivalent to giving them enough face and benefit, they naturally wouldn’t make things difficult.

Taking a step back, it’s a law-abiding society now, their Lu Group doesn’t have the firm standing they once had, the company’s funds are almost depleted, would they exacerbate their situation by causing a fatality?

And among everyone present, it seems only Tingshen has had professional Sanda training, right? Rather than having any of you go, why not let Tingshen, who knows a bit of martial arts, go?”

“???

Ye Xian looked incredulously at Shangguan Yunli, what kind of misleading friend was this, actually encouraging the CEO to go?

After the two finished speaking, Father Ye and Mother Ye were silent, and began to feel… there was indeed some reason in what they said.

Now, Lu Enterprise is in a tumultuous situation, the AKAM contract is practically a lifesaver for them, Old Master Lu really doesn’t need to risk losing such a significant contract for the sake of a marriage, probably… it’s really just for the semblance of procedure, to regain face?

Ye Xian: “I disagree! What if they’re serious? In matters like this, there might not be a one in ten thousand chance, but one in a million is all it takes!”

Bo Tingshen rarely saw her being so serious and firm, and couldn’t help but curve his lips slightly, “If there’s that one in a million… then it’s worth it for you.”

“You!”

Ye Xian was even angrier, she knew that what he said earlier was just nonsense to trick her parents, he just wants to go himself!

“Ye Xian, you’re worrying too much.” Shangguan Yunli crossed his legs, “If there’s that one in a million, with so many of us, do you think we’d just watch Tingshen die on stage? If it doesn’t work out we’ll call it off and think of another plan, but if you don’t try, how would you know if it’s one in ten thousand or one in a million?”

“But…” Ye Zhuoxuan hesitated, “Tingshen, you are the eldest son of the family, with such a noble status, going to the arena is really…”

Her dad actually believed and compromised!

Ye Xian looked at him, feeling a panic inside, but it did remind her that Father Bo and Mother Bo would absolutely not agree to him going to the arena! He is the only heir of the Bo Family, CEO of BHS, how could they let him go to the Life and Death Arena?

Bo Tingshen: “My decision is the family’s decision.”

“Pang Kai, give me Aunt Wen’s number!”

Ye Xian didn’t believe his nonsense, there’s no way parents would let their child go to a Life and Death Arena, Pang Kai looked at Bo Tingshen in a dilemma.

Bo Tingshen raised his eyebrows indifferently, directly taking out his own phone, “Your birthday.”

“…”

Ye Xian took his phone, walked to the side, and dialed.

Xia Hewan looked at Bo Tingshen with some guilt, “Tingshen, how about forgetting it, Auntie is also worried about unforeseen accidents…”

“This matter started because of me, even if I have to pay some price it is reasonable.”

Ye Juncheng: “Once you are on the stage, if you notice something wrong, be sure to speak up in time.”

“Okay.”

“You… really willing to go to a Life and Death Arena for Xiao Yezi?”

Ye Shaowen looked at him incredulously, at first, he thought he was just being polite, didn’t expect he was serious, and even went to great lengths to convince their parents…

“For Xianxian, I can do anything.”

“What if the defender is heavy-handed, and it really costs you your life?”

Bo Tingshen looked at him, his slender eye corners slightly raised.

Wouldn’t that be just what you want?

Ye Shaowen understood his meaning: “……” That’s indeed not wrong.

“Alright, it’s not as serious as you guys think~” Shangguan Yunli patted his stomach, “Tingshen, didn’t you just say you’d invite Ye Xian and me for a meal? The arena hasn’t started yet, let’s go eat first, shall we?”

“Right, right, look how anxious we got, it’s rude, Aunt Tao, quickly prepare lunch, entertain our distinguished guests.”

“Then I must thank Auntie, it’s really a bother~”

Shangguan Yunli put on a face of apology, but inwardly he was delighted.

“Hello?”

“Son, how come you’re calling mom today? Is the sun rising from the west?”

Once the phone connected, Wen Yan’s voice came through, Ye Xian stammered a bit, “A-Aunt, it’s Ye Xian.”

“Oh?”

Wen Yan paused, then delightedly stood up, “Xianxian! How come it’s you? Are you with Tingshen? Have you eaten yet? Come over to the house for a meal, I’ll cook your favorite crystal shrimp myself!”

“Wait a minute… Aunt, I have something very serious to tell you!”

Wen Yan heard her serious tone, and couldn’t help but listen earnestly, “Alright, go ahead, what is it?”

Ye Xian: “The CEO is going to fight someone!”

“Oh~”

Wen Yan thought something had happened, and breathed a sigh of relief, “Is that so? Haven’t seen him in a fight for so long, just keep your distance, make sure you don’t get hurt!”

Ye Xian: “???” What’s going on?

She looked dumbfound at the phone’s display, ensuring she didn’t dial the wrong person, usually, a mother hearing her son going to fight would be worried or furious, right? At least ask the reason, why is Aunt Wen so… casual, as if it’s just a lovely day?

“Aunt, you might be mistaken, the CEO is going to fight a really, really formidable person!”

Hearing her worried tone, Wen Yan couldn’t help but smile knowingly, “Xianxian, don’t worry, Tingshen’s not a kid anymore, he’s very measured in what he does.”
