Chapter 96 - the Ghost in the Temple
Chapter 96 the Ghost in the Temple
Ye Tianming listened to Xiao Bing’s words, and looked at his eyes which seemed to be able to see through everything. All of a sudden, he was a little surprised. “What kind of man was he? How could he see so much?”
This was the secret Ye Tianming had always been keeping. There were some things that both of them understood each other, but they couldn’t pick them out, because no one wanted to disregard the feelings in public immediately.
According to his identity, Ye Tianming should be the heir to the Ye Family, who could inherit Ye Bancheng’s all business and became the chairman of the Ye Family.
It was obvious that Ye Bancheng thought so, and did it at the same time. He honed Ye Tianming in his own company and trained his abilities in all aspects. Furthermore, he gave more and more business to him constantly, and Ye Tianming did very well. He was an excellent young man.
But Ye Xinyi was also excellent, and she even had more ambitions. Ye Bancheng originally wanted to cultivate Ye Xinyi to work in the company as well. He wanted Ye Tianming to be the chairman of Ye’s Group and Ye Xinyi to help her own brother. But Ye Bancheng did not realize what Ye Xinyi wanted, in fact, was the supreme power her brother would get.
Ye Xinyi and Ye Tianming had begun fighting clearly and secretly since they both entered Ye’s Group and were in charge of different fields. Ye Xinyi began to cultivate and place her cronies constantly. She showed positive performance in her work and made a lot of excellent achievements. She seized every opportunity to ask Ye Bancheng for more power.
Actually, Ye Tianming was a clever man. He knew everything, and then he started to fight back as well.
In fact, they were fighting all the time not only in business, but also out of business. For example, Ye Bancheng was seriously ill before, and they showed their own skills to invite Zhang Yizhi by themselves. Ye Tianming won that time, and he also fulfilled his wish that got more power in the company, which suppressed Ye Xinyi temporarily.
However, this kind of fight was in secret. On the face of it, Ye Xinyi and Ye Tianming were two close siblings. Ye Tianming really had no idea how Xiao Bing could see through these?
Even looking at Xiao Bing’s aggressive eyes, Ye Tianming still smiled calmly and said, “Brother Bing, I’m confused. I don’t quite understand what you’re talking about. Xinyi is my sister. What kind of contradiction will we have?”
Xiao Bing looked at Ye Tianming, and said simply, “Do you remember the last time I drank with you? I once asked you who ordered the attack after the first time we met. You knew about it, didn’t you? But you didn’t admit it. At that time, I had guessed that the person ordered must be your sister, Ye Xinyi.”
Ye Tianming said with a little emotion, “Brother Bing, How can you say these nonsense words!”
Xiao Bing looked at Ye Tianming and said grimly, “You know more clearly than me whether I am talking nonsense. Ye Xinyi competed with you for the inheritance of the Ye Family. She is also excellent and she has more ambitions than you. Of course, you should inherit the estate of Ye’s Group, but she did her best to compete with you. And that time your father was seriously ill, no matter who could ask Mr. Zhang to come, it would certainly increase the most powerful weight in the competition. Because the life must be extremely important for everyone. You asked Mr. Zhang to come finally, which was equal to save your father’s life!”
“So, Ye Xinyi could not wait. She employed that secret killer group called ‘the Ghost Nest’, and the first person they wanted to kill was me. Mr. Zhang would not come as long as I died. It could be seen that your sister still had some human feelings. But Ye Xinyi definitely had told you that it was the same to kill you if they couldn’t kill me. Because if you died, even if Mr. Zhang would really save Uncle Ye, it would not pose any threat to Ye Xinyi.”
Xiao Bing sighed and said, “I felt strange when I went out and faced those two killers. Why did they say that killing you or me was both the fulfillment of the mission? Later I understood it…”
Xiao Bing looked at Ye Tianming and continued, “Ye Xinyi is your sister, and it was supposed to be a deep relationship between you two. But your sister is obviously a very calculating person, and also a person who is capable, confident and ambitious. It would not be a matter if she were a man. If so, she was supposed to be the heir to the Ye Family, and you might not fight her for anything according to your character.”
“But she is a woman… No matter which rich and powerful family you are in, if the children are about the same age and have similar abilities, their sons will certainly have the right of inheritance. After all, their sons have the same last name as themselves. If they hand it over to their daughters, will Ye’s Group still be the same Ye’s Group in the future? In addition, with your good characters and abilities, Uncle Ye naturally wanted to hand over the company to you gradually. But facing such an ambitious woman, will she stop when she saw her father build such a huge business empire?”
Xiao Bing sighed. “It is a kind of happiness, but also a misfortune, to be born in a big family.”
At first, Ye Tianming wanted to hold on. But when he heard Xiao Bing’s suspiration, his appearance of the camouflage finally collapsed completely. He bowed his head decadently and grabbed it with both hands, and said with some chagrin and mad, “She is my sister. She is my sister.”
Xiao Bing said, “I know. I know.”
“Why did you talk to me about it?” Ye Tianming looked up suddenly, looked at Xiao Bing angrily, and growled, “Maybe I will really inherit the Ye Family one day, and then she cannot do anything but only accept it. We will still be brother and sister if everything won’t be said out. Why did you say these?”
“Will it really like this?”Xiao Bing had some sympathy for the man who was at his age, and sighed. “I don’t want to break through the fairy tales you weaved for yourself… But will it really be like what you said? She once employed someone to kill you. Even if you let it go, will she make you be the chairman of Ye Family safely? If that day comes, will you tell her that you are still her dear brother? Will she believe? Will she be relieved? Won’t she be afraid?”
“Stop lying to yourself!”
“Bancheng, you’re just healthier, and why didn’t you take a rest at home? Isn’t it all right to worship Buddha in another day?”
Liu Piaopiao, Ye Bancheng’s beautiful young wife, supported Ye Bancheng to walk in the temple. Bao Lei, one of Ye Bancheng’s attendants, was behind him, and another one ran to buy incense.
Ye Bancheng gave a tiny sigh, and said in a tired look and voice, “I had nightmares for a few days, so I came to burn incense and worship Buddha on purpose. Maybe my heart will be calm in this way.”
“Well, I’ll stay with you.”
Ye Bancheng gently patted Liu Piaopiao’s little hand around his arm, and said, “Piaopiao, these children might be angry with you because of their mother’s death. They even don’t know that we haven’t met each other at that time… Ah, no wonder they thought so much. Maybe it was a little impatient for me to marry you into the Ye Family so fast, so you have been aggrieved now.”
Liu Piaopiao put her arms around Ye Bancheng, and said softly, “Bancheng, what are you talking about? Don’t I know how good you are? You wouldn’t have ignored it if you hadn’t wanted to give me a status earlier. Besides, at that time, it was me who wanted to be with you every day.”
“Ah! They have grown up. Anyway, I will be satisfied as long as I can stay with you.”
The attendant ran back after buying incense. Walking into the temple, Liu Piaopiao helped Ye Bancheng light the incense personally. Ye Bancheng put the incense into the burner, and then closed his eyes devoutly and worshipped it. As he just opened his eyes, Liu Piaopiao suddenly screamed with a frightened voice. When Ye Bancheng opened his eyes and looked at Liu Piaopiao, he found that her face was pale. With panic in her eyes, Liu Piaopiao pointed to the place next to the Buddha statue and wanted to say something with her lips quivered.
“Wh-what?”Ye Bancheng patted Liu Piaopiao on her back and asked anxiously. He also looked in the direction Liu Piaopiao pointed at, but he didn’t see anything.
“No-nothing. I, I think… nothing…”
Bao Lei looked at his mistress with a blanked face, and the over 20-year-old attendant was also confused. Ye Bancheng was just praying in closed eyes, so he didn’t know what happened. Seeing Liu Piaopiao so scared, he guessed she must have seen something terrible.
Thinking of what he had just prayed for, his heart suddenly became a little upset. And his voice, which had always been calm, seemed to be hurried. “Wh-what did you see?”
“A ghost in orange clothes… A woman with disheveled hair… She was looking at me with her long tongue which was out… She was so scary… I… wooo…”
Liu Piaopiao jumped into Ye Bancheng’s arms and burst into tears. And Ye Bancheng looked as pale as Liu’s.
“It’s okay, it’s okay… Fake… They were all fake…” Ye Bancheng’s legs became a little powerless. This great hero even felt that his soul was floating outside. Although his eyes looked a little empty and glassy, he kept comforting Liu Piaopiao in his arms over and over again, “Fake, fake… What you saw was hallucination… Let’s go out… Bao Lei, help me out.”
The attendant supported Liu Piaopiao, and Bao Lei supported Ye Bancheng. They left the temple, and the others looked doubtfully at these strange people. With puzzles and doubts on their faces, people looked from time to time in the direction Liu Piaopiao had just pointed out.
They were about to walk out of the temple when an orange shadow flashed in front of them, with an orange nightgown, red slippers and long hair on the back. Ye Bancheng was struck when the back appeared in front of him. With his eyes popped at once, Ye Bancheng pointed to the woman’s back.
Frowning slightly, Bao Lei also saw the woman at this time. But when Bao Lei was hesitating to catch up the woman or stay to take care of Ye Bancheng, the yellow figure had already run out of the temple and disappeared completely.
Covering his heart, Ye Bancheng’s face was pale and lips became purple. He yelled in pain and fainted directly to the ground. Bao Lei helped Ye Bancheng lie on the ground, and then stood up and took out his phone to call an ambulance. He roared loudly, “We are in Ciyun Temple. We need an ambulance! An Ambulance!”
Liu Piaopiao was so scared that she slumped to the ground, grabbed Ye Bancheng’s arms, and cried out.
