Everyone is aware of what Sixth Master is saying right now, it's like a layer of window paper, impossible to pierce through.

"Do you know why neither of you was able to find any related evidence? It's because of me."

When this was said, both men were genuinely shocked, their eyes widened in surprise; nobody had considered that back then, Sixth Master had actually been involved.

"Sixth Master, what are you talking about?"

"Sixth Master, are you joking with us?"

"Sixth Master, you mean my child's illness really is related to Guo Tao, right? It seems my guess was not wrong, but why would you do this, Sixth Master?"

"Sixth Master, I swear to God, I've done nothing. My child's illness has nothing to do with me at all, what are you hiding? Could it be that my son's car accident was his doing?"

"You stop slandering people here. It was like this before, and even now in front of the old master, my stance remains the same. This incident has absolutely nothing to do with me. On the contrary, it's you — 'He who does not want others to know what he is doing should not do it himself.'"

After hearing this from the Sixth Master, the two men began to argue incessantly.

However, the Sixth Master himself appeared completely calm and composed, as if everything was under his control and not the slightest deviation would occur.

Sitting in the back, Ye Chen had been recalling this scene all along.

Although what they were discussing was something Ye Chen only half-understood, he could still grasp the basic idea.

The main reason, after all, is that this originated from years of family grudges.

Yet, after so many tumultuous years, it seems that they had never managed to forget these matters.

Ye Chen quietly glanced at the Sixth Master and noticed that at this moment, his expression was very natural, even slightly amused.

"Sixth Master, tell us, what should we do about this matter? If it really was his doing, then even at the risk of my life, I must avenge this."

"Heh, you won't need to risk your life. I assure you, even if I have to bankrupt my family, I won't let you get away with this."

"Enough! I was afraid this kind of confrontation would happen between you. Don't you know? Your two families were the most powerful clans years ago. If you start a conflict, it might bring disaster to the entire business arena, and all our years of hard work will have been in vain."

"Sixth Master, isn't it time to tell the truth now? Why did you help him with these things, and why did you destroy the evidence?"

"Sixth Master, was it my evidence you destroyed, or the evidence of him harming my child? If so, then Sixth Master, you must give us an explanation."

"Of course there's an explanation. You don't have to be so anxious. I'll tell you, if back then you had continued to investigate according to your own ideas, you would definitely have found that your child's illness was related to Guo Tao. And Guo Tao, you would also have found that your son's car accident was closely linked to Yang Da. All evidence would point to the two of you."

"So what you're saying is, what exactly is going on here? And Sixth Master, I really didn't do these things."

"Sixth Master, I swear to heaven and earth, I didn't do it either."

"See that? Even now, after all this, both of you still insist on claiming innocence. It seems 'the person involved is befuddled, the onlooker sees clear.' You've now trapped yourselves in a circle. Ye Chen, come over here."

Unexpectedly, the Sixth Master suddenly turned to look at Ye Chen.

Indeed, Ye Chen was standing by as an observer, considering this matter.

But for the moment, the two of them were caught in this vortex, unable to extricate themselves from it.

"Sixth Master, what is it?"

Ye Chen stepped forward and then looked down at the Sixth Master and asked.

"Come, analyze for them what is really going on here. You've been sitting here and have heard the general idea, right? So you should also know the cause and consequences?"

"I think I understand. Sixth Master, if I'm not mistaken, the reason you destroyed those pieces of evidence back then was to preserve both of their families, to prevent them from stirring up trouble, and also to maintain their future strength."

"That's correct, that's the idea. Anything else you've noticed?"

"If I'm not wrong, any misfortune that has befallen either side has nothing to do with the other party. I am almost one hundred percent certain of this now."

"What? Unrelated?"

"Yes, actually, what Sixth Master has said made it very clear. Someone is deliberately instigating the discord between your two families, leaving plenty of evidence. But in order to protect the interests of your families, the Sixth Master deliberately destroyed this evidence, which eventually led to you having no evidence to investigate, and the matter was gradually dropped."

After saying this, the Sixth Master simply smiled and nodded, seeming to very much approve of Ye Chen's analysis.

"Good, youth is indeed youthful, with such a sharp mind. I never expected such a coherent analysis. Yes, that was my intention."

"Sixth Master, are you suggesting that someone deliberately framed us?"

"All these events originated from a single word. You might imagine, when two tigers fight, one is bound to get hurt or die. Now consider, when issues arise between you, who will benefit the most? Reflect carefully on that."

After these words, Guo Tao and Yang Da both became lost in thought, as if many things from the past were slowly surfacing in their minds.

"It's alright, I can give you time to carefully recall these events. Also, think about who were your business rivals at that time, and who was particularly close to your two families? Think carefully. After you both leave here, consider who gained the most, and think it through."
