Chapter 1153 The Ye Family Tries to Join Forces with the Wang Family
As the last word fell, Lu Feng directly picked up the teacup in front of him and drank it all. He spoke so many words in one breath that his throat was about to smoke.
There was silence in the study.
Shen Muyun stared at Lu Feng in a daze, with a storm already brewing in his heart!
For the first time, he felt so clearly how terrible his future son-in-law's insight into and exploitation of human nature had become!
This is no longer a simple strategy, but a precise grasp of the deepest desires, fears and unwillingness in everyone's heart.
Then, like the most skilled chess player, he lightly placed a few seemingly insignificant pieces, which was enough to trigger a hurricane that swept across the entire chess game!
He didn't need to take action directly, he just needed to light the fuse and then quietly watch how the sharpest knife of the human heart, driven by desire, would tear apart the solid fortress from the inside!
After a long time, Shen Muyun slowly exhaled a breath, and the look he gave Lu Feng was filled with unprecedented shock and... a hint of barely perceptible fear.
He said slowly, "What a move... a little effort to achieve a great result! What a move... using someone else's force to defeat them! Xiaofeng, your calculations and understanding of human nature have reached... an outrageous level!"
At this moment, he finally understood where Lu Feng got the confidence to bet the sky-high price of the spoils!
This game of chess has been going according to Lu Feng's script since the moment he decided to use Ye Wenwu!
He looked up at the son-in-law in front of him again, and the fear in his heart grew stronger.
This kid won’t use all these tricks on their Shen family, right?
After all, he, the head of the family, has only one daughter, and his daughter loves this boy to death.
When Shen Muyun thought about what might happen in the future, a constipated expression flashed across his face.
But he couldn't say anything because it was all his own idea.
For a moment, this tycoon who had been active in both business and political circles for decades was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.
It’s not a good thing to have a son-in-law who is too outstanding.
The time comes at night.
Lu Feng acted very efficiently. After explaining the plan to Shen Muyun, he started implementing it.
With the secret help of the Li and Shen families, the plan was implemented smoothly. In less than half a day, the entire imperial capital knew about it.
At this time, in the old house of the Ye family, Ye Wenyuan was meeting with Wang Xingyi, the head of the Wang family.
The Ye family's old house was shrouded in darkness, and the lights were on, but they could not dispel the heavy depression that permeated the air.
In the study, Ye Wenyuan forced himself to be alert and personally poured hot tea for Wang Xingyi, the head of the Wang family across from him. The lingering aroma of the tea could not hide the deep anxiety between his brows.
"Brother Wang," Ye Wenyuan put down the teapot, his voice filled with unprecedented fatigue and earnestness, even with a barely perceptible hint of humility.
"This time... you must help my Ye family overcome this difficulty!" He no longer concealed the Ye family's predicament and lowered his posture very low.
Wang Xingyi picked up the teacup, but did not drink it immediately. He just gently stirred the floating tea leaves with the cup lid, with just the right amount of embarrassment and heaviness on his face.
He sighed and shook his head slowly: "Brother Ye, you and I have known each other for many years. How can my Wang family stand idly by while your Ye family is doing business? It's just... Alas!"
After sighing, he put down the teacup, looked directly at Ye Wenyuan, and said with deep helplessness:
"This time is different from the past! That little wolf cub Lu Feng is ruthless, and behind him stand Shen Muyun and Li Zhengjun, and even... the Security Department and the guy in the Imperial Capital are watching!"
"The Ye family is facing a crisis too great! Many of the powerful people within our Wang family are deeply worried. They believe that intervening at this time would be tantamount to courting disaster and could potentially drag down the entire Wang family!"
"I... I want to help, but the resistance from my clan is too great. I really can't help you!"
He spread his hands, looking heartbroken and helpless, but in fact, only he knew what the real situation was.
When Ye Wenyuan heard this almost clear rejection, his face instantly became extremely ugly, and a surge of anger rushed to his head, but he suppressed it tightly.
He is not a fool and knows that Wang Xingyi is waiting for a good price!
But so what? Now, his Ye family is like fish on the chopping board and has no right to bargain!
If he cannot get the help of the Wang family today, then when the Shen family, the Li family and Lu Feng really join forces to attack, his Ye family will definitely suffer heavy losses.
Ye Wenyuan took a deep breath, suppressed his surging anger, and his voice became more rapid, almost hoarse with despair:
"Brother Wang! Can't you see the current situation clearly?!"
"The Shen family and the Li family, because of Lu Feng, can now be said to be wearing the same pants!"
"They have joined forces to suppress our Ye family, and their momentum is fierce!"
"Once my Ye family is completely suppressed by them, and our vitality is severely damaged, or even... seriously injured, how can your Wang family be any better?!"
Ye Wenyuan leaned forward slightly, staring at Wang Xingyi sharply:
"Brother Wang, you understand the principle of the lips and teeth being cold, don't you? The four great families of the imperial capital, the Shen-Li alliance, have already formed. If my Ye family falls again, the next one will definitely be your Wang family!"
"By then, you will be isolated and helpless, facing the full force of Shen and Li's combined forces. Your fate... will probably be worse than that of my Ye family!"
"Only if our two families join forces and advance and retreat together can we stop their edge and maintain the delicate balance in the imperial capital!"
"Otherwise, once the balance is broken, no one will have a good life!"
This analysis directly points to the core interests involved, and Ye Wenyuan believes that Wang Xingyi cannot fail to understand it.
However, after hearing this, the embarrassment on Wang Xingyi's face did not disappear, but became even deeper.
He sighed again and said weakly: "Every word that Brother Ye said makes sense! How could I, Wang Xingyi, not know the interests involved? It's just..."
He changed the subject, revealing a bitter expression as if he was being constrained by his family:
"But those short-sighted people in the family only see the immediate dangers and fail to see the long-term disasters!"
"They... they need a reason! A reason that can convince them and make them willingly take huge risks to help!"
"Otherwise, it would be difficult for me, the head of the family, to force this matter..."
As he spoke, his eyes flickered and he looked at Ye Wenyuan meaningfully, but he did not say the last words.
"reason?!"
Ye Wenyuan sneered in his heart, a surge of evil fire rose up again, and his teeth were almost broken!
What a bullshit excuse! It sounds so high-sounding, but isn't it just a naked attempt to ask for favors?!
Taking advantage of someone's misfortune! Adding insult to injury! He cursed Wang Xingyi's entire family in his heart.
