Chapter 629: Chapter 612: Meet for a moment?
After Cao Chao and his son were taken by Eight Master, the ribbon-cutting ceremony continued.
Zhang Huimin was still somewhat lacking in confidence, but with encouragement from Ye Huan and Liu Tianyun, she finally mustered up the courage to give a one-minute speech, clearly and concisely outlining her future work plans and the company’s operational direction.
After this, Liu Tianyun delivered a concluding thank you speech of about a minute and a half.
Whether during Zhang Huimin’s or Liu Tianyun’s speeches, the atmosphere in the audience was completely different from before.
The entrepreneurs who didn’t applaud earlier were now clapping as if they were trying to make up for the applause they missed during Liu Tianyun’s opening speech.
"Hmm?"
After the event, Ye Huan checked his phone and frowned slightly.
Ten minutes ago, Su Qingqing had called.
But his phone was on silent, so he didn’t notice it at the time.
Last night, while Huan and Sister Zhang were together, Su Qingqing had called once before.
He didn’t answer it then, and didn’t call back afterward either.
Now she called again early in the morning, was it something urgent?
Huan’s heart softened in the end, and he called back.
Soon, the call was connected.
...
"Su Zhiqiang, I’m begging you, okay."
"Just tell me the whole story."
"How exactly did you offend Ye Huan?"
First People’s Hospital of the Capital City, ICU ward.
Su Qingqing was almost pleading as she asked Su Zhiqiang.
She really wanted to know the truth, to clear Ye Huan’s name, and sincerely apologize to him.
The simplest way would be to ask Ye Huan!
But alas, the word "cut off" must have completely hurt Ye Huan’s heart, otherwise he wouldn’t have ignored her calls.
So, she came to the hospital to question Su Zhiqiang.
No matter how she asked, Su Zhiqiang’s answer was always the same: "A little conflict."
"Su Qingqing, I’ve told you."
"Between me and Ye Huan, it’s just a little conflict."
"Because of a little conflict, Ye Huan beat me into a vegetative state, he truly is a ruthless person."
"Alright, forget about me, let’s talk about Dr. An Lei, what Ye Huan did blowing up Dr. An Lei must say a lot, right?"
"Besides, I’m your brother, we grew up together, but you’d rather believe an outsider like Ye Huan than trust me?"
While speaking with tremendous dissatisfaction, a deep malicious glint flickered in Su Zhiqiang’s eyes.
Having received B-max from Lin Xie, he was no longer flustered when faced with Su Qingqing’s questioning.
Because, he didn’t care about the so-called Crown Prince or Crown Prince Consort and what benefits they could bring him.
Not only did he not care, but he also insidiously thought about sending Su Qingqing and Ye Huan to the underworld in six days!
His goal was the vast ocean of stars, to become a big boss in the Western Dark World!
Of course, the first giant stone blocking the ocean of stars was the Crown Prince—Ye Huan.
It must be removed, even crushed!
And that damned Su Qingqing...
Damn thing.
Do you know who I am? A future big boss of the Western Dark World!
Dare to talk to me like that, in a few days, you’ll be dead!
Violent thoughts surged in Su Zhiqiang’s heart, but he maintained a calm facade.
"Alright, you say it’s a little conflict, right."
"Then explain why I heard you say ’once, twice, thrice, countless times offending Ye Huan’? What did you mean by that?"
"Explain why you said those things?"
Su Qingqing didn’t believe a word coming from Su Zhiqiang anymore, continuing her interrogation.
Su Zhiqiang was quite impatient, he really didn’t want Su Qingqing bothering him any longer.
Originally, he got the URL for the "Dark World Official Forum" from Nan Zhen and was browsing it, trying to understand the Dark World.
Su Qingqing’s endless questioning was truly hindering his goal to become a big boss.
After a few seconds of silence, Su Zhiqiang spoke, putting on a "serious" expression, "Do you really want to know?"
Su Qingqing responded without hesitation, "Speak."
"Sigh."
Su Zhiqiang let out a long sigh, "The reason I didn’t reveal the truth before was to avoid ruining Ye Huan’s image in your heart, but since you’re so eager to know, I won’t hide it."
Su Qingqing furrows her brows, unsure about the situation, yet she remains silent, not interrupting Su Zhiqiang.
"I did mention once, twice, thrice, offending Ye Huan many times."
"However, in my view, those countless offenses were all just small conflicts."
"Don’t get mad just yet, listen to me first."
Su Zhiqiang spoke up, stopping Su Qingqing from erupting in anger.
Then, a barely noticeable smirk appeared on his lips, "Do you know Nan Zhen?"
Su Qingqing widened her eyes, "So, you collaborated with Nan Zhen to bully Ye Huan..."
"I said, let me finish!"
After interrupting Su Qingqing, Su Zhiqiang continued:
"The ’small conflicts’ between me and Ye Huan all started because of Nan Zhen."
"A month ago, when Lilith was hosting a concert in Huaxia, wasn’t Nan Zhen pursuing you? At that time, Ye Huan was just beside you. Nan Zhen courting you, sending you flowers, showing his affection, these acts were all witnessed by Ye Huan."
"Though Ye Huan appeared calm, he immediately confronted Nan Zhen post-concert, warning him not to pursue you anymore."
"Nan Zhen ignored him, leading Ye Huan to beat him until he begged on his knees and even attempted to force him into writing a 5000-word guarantee that he’d stop pursuing you."
"Nan Zhen refused to write it and stood his ground, resulting in Ye Huan repeatedly threatening and beating him down. Yet, Nan Zhen remained obstinate, which led to Ye Huan crippling all his limbs to stop him from chasing after you."
"However, because the power of the Ye family and Li family was immense, the Nan family couldn’t utter a word of protest and had to swallow their humiliation, urging Nan Zhen to stop pursuing you."
"But I couldn’t stand it and criticized Ye Huan, requesting on my behalf that he cease bullying Nan Zhen. His response was to tell me to mind my own business. I didn’t dwell on it much; I even implored him once, twice, thrice to apologize to Nan Zhen, but he got impatient and turned me into a vegetative state."
"That’s how it is, I’ve ’offended’ Ye Huan quite a few times, but they were all minor conflicts."
"I withheld this from you to spare your feelings."
"But since you want to know so much, I have no choice. To sum up, Ye Huan is simply someone who seeks profit without scruples, greedy, lustful, vicious, cruel, petty, flaunting his powerful background while disrespecting others, disregarding laws and regulations, a local tyrant and villain guilty of heinous acts!"
By this point, Su Zhiqiang scraped his fingers through the air forcefully twice, face full of indignation, his eyes spilling forth intense hatred toward Ye Huan.
Su Qingqing crossed her arms, releasing a cold chuckle, "Go on, keep making things up."
"Making things up?" Su Zhiqiang’s grin turned savage.
Su Qingqing, this wretched thing, truly sided with outsiders to this extent.
Was Ye Huan truly that incredible, to have Su Qingqing obey him so completely?
Feeling like he’s wasted enough words, Su Zhiqiang waved dismissively, full of impatience, "Believe it or not, that’s all I have to say!"
"I won’t believe it!"
"Su Zhiqiang, I will question Ye Huan, I will investigate this matter."
"If you dare deceive me, you’re done for!"
After tossing a glare, Su Qingqing left the hospital room directly.
In his words, Su Zhiqiang portrayed Nan Zhen as a passionate admirer.
However, in Su Qingqing’s recollection, Nan Zhen was nothing but a bothersome fly!
She would never believe a single word Su Zhiqiang had said.
Once exiting the hospital room, she took a deep breath and pulled out her phone.
She intended to try one more time, to call Ye Huan!
But at that moment...
"Ring ring."
The phone rang.
Joy spread across Su Qingqing’s face, Was it Ye Huan calling back?
She quickly answered it.
"Hello, Ye Huan?"
"I... I’d like to meet you to talk about something, is it okay?"
"It’s hard to explain over the phone, let’s meet, at Stardew Valley Cafe."
"Mhm, alright."
"I’ll head over now."
Receiving a returned call from Ye Huan, Su Qingqing was overjoyed, hanging up and leaving immediately.
Unbeknownst to her,
Thanks to his heightened hearing, Su Zhiqiang clearly heard her entire conversation.
Moreover,
Just as Su Qingqing was taking the descending elevator, the ascending elevator happened to reach the ICU floor.
Huang Yan pushed Nan Zhen out, making their way towards the ICU ward...
