Heart Stealer
Chapter 152 Falling into the trap
The next morning, the sun had just risen, and golden light penetrated the thin clouds and sprinkled on the vast earth like broken gold.
These rays of sunlight seem to bring a hint of warmth and endless tranquility, gently caressing all things in the world.
Butler Zhao Bo was driving the black luxury car with a focused expression. The car was driving steadily on the wide road leading to the airport.
The wheels made a slight rustling sound when rubbing against the ground, like a soothing piece of music.
Inside the car, Ye Qingyun sat upright, his deep eyes gazing at the passing scenery outside the window, as if lost in thought.
Uncle Fu on the side closed his eyes slightly, as if he was also immersed in his own thoughts.
Both of them remained silent, with only the occasional bird calls from outside the car breaking the silence.
When the vehicle slowly drove into the airport parking lot and finally stopped, Ye Qingyun gracefully reached out to unbuckle his seat belt.
He turned around and whispered to Uncle Zhao, "Uncle Zhao, you don't have to take us to the station. Be careful on the way back." After saying that, he prepared to push open the car door and step out.
Uncle Zhao suddenly turned around, his eyes first sweeping over Uncle Fu who had already gotten out of the car to move the luggage, and then fixed on Ye Qingyun who was sitting in the passenger seat.
He hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Second Young Master, I...I have a few words I want to say to you alone."
Ye Qingyun's heart tightened when he heard this.
He knew very well that Zhao Bo was always calm and reliable in his daily work. If it weren't for something important or some special news, he would never be so hesitant to speak.
Thinking of this, the foot that was about to step out of the car door involuntarily retracted, and at the same time looked at Zhao Bo seriously and asked: "Zhao Bo, what's the matter? Just tell me!"
"Second Young Master, the night before last, the master asked me to make tea for him. I accidentally heard Mrs. Jin talking on the phone with the eldest young master. I feel that the situation is not good for you. You must be careful!" Uncle Zhao said with a worried look on his face.
A sneer flashed across Ye Qingyun's lips, and he thought to himself: Just as I expected, Mrs. Jin has always regarded me as a thorn in her side, and she must be trying to play some tricks this time.
But he pretended to be calm on the surface and said, "Uncle Zhao, you are worried too much. Auntie and the young master are very good to me. Don't worry, they dare not do anything to me."
Ye Qingyun got out of the car and waved goodbye to Uncle Zhao. After watching Uncle Zhao's car drive away, he said to Uncle Fu, "It seems we have to be more careful."
Uncle Fu nodded. He knew Ye Qingyun's status and situation in the family, and he also knew about Mrs. Jin and the eldest young master's hostility towards Ye Qingyun.
Uncle Fu patted Ye Qingyun's shoulder and comforted him, "Second Young Master, don't worry. With me here, they won't dare to do anything to you."
Ye Qingyun looked at Uncle Fu gratefully. He took a deep breath and said, "Uncle Fu, let's go. There are still many things waiting for us to deal with." The two of them pulled their luggage and walked into the waiting hall.
On the plane, Ye Qingyun looked at the white clouds outside the window, his heart filled with melancholy and reluctance. He didn't know when he would be able to return to his hometown after leaving this time.
Ye Qingyun secretly vowed to complete this project as soon as possible and return home as soon as possible.
After a long journey of more than ten hours, the plane finally arrived in XX state of the United States.
Uncle Zhong, who was helping Ye Qingyun look after his house in the United States, had already been driving his car and waiting for their arrival at the airport.
There were too many people in the airport. Uncle Zhong looked around but couldn't see the person he was looking for.
Uncle Zhong only reacted when Ye Qingyun and Uncle Fu pushed their luggage in front of him.
He took Xiao Tuobang's luggage and they walked towards the parking lot.
After speeding for more than an hour from the airport, the car finally arrived at Ye Qingyun's home in the United States.
As soon as he entered the house, Ye Qingyun couldn't wait to say to the housekeeper, Uncle Zhong, "Uncle Zhong, we brought some delicious local specialties from China. Please quickly tell the servants to prepare them and wait for the young master to come back from get off work to enjoy them."
Uncle Zhong stood there as steady as a sculpture, not moving at all.
Ye Qingyun thought that he was old and hard of hearing, so he repeated it again without getting tired of it.
Uncle Zhong replied hesitantly, "Second Young Master, the eldest young master has already returned home. Maybe he got home earlier than you."
Ye Qingyun was stunned when he heard this. The work had not been handed over yet, so how could his brother return home so soon?
Is Uncle Zhong lying to him? He was so anxious that he quickly picked up the phone and dialed his brother's number in China.
Unexpectedly, the hearty laughter of the eldest brother Ye Ye Qingtian soon came from the other end of the phone.
Ye Qingyun was indignant and extremely angry. He wanted to lose his temper, but then he thought, what's the point of getting angry now?
He tried hard to adjust his emotions and calm himself down.
"Brother, why did you return home so soon? I was hoping to have a drink with you and reminisce about the past."
Ye Qingtian feigned guilt and replied, "Qingyun, I originally wanted to wait until the work handover was completed before returning home, but my father suddenly called and said that there was an urgent meeting that required my attendance. Time was running out, and I had no choice but to return home early. You won't blame me, will you?"
"Brother, it's work-related. I can understand." Ye Qingyun pretended to be considerate and responded. Although Ye Qingyun didn't say anything, he felt very uncomfortable.
Ye Qingyun didn't want to continue talking nonsense with his brother, so he said, "Brother, the purpose of my call is to discuss the work handover with you. Is there anything I should pay attention to?"
Ye Qingtian pretended to be very sorry and said: "Qingyun, I was just about to tell you some bad news. Before I left, I accidentally broke my computer, and I couldn't fix it.
It may take you some time to repair it. Qingyun, the computer contains a lot of our company's business secrets. I beg you, please keep it a secret for me and don't let my father know that I broke the computer, okay?
Ye Qingtian's tone was full of anxiety and eagerness, which moved people.
Ye Qingyun pretended to be relaxed and teased, "Brother, have you forgotten that I'm an expert at repairing computers? How could such a small problem possibly stump me? Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who likes to tell tales."
After Ye Qingyun hung up the phone, he thought to himself: How could this computer break down at this critical moment? What a coincidence...
Ye Qingyun's heart sank, as if a heavy stone was pressing on his heart.
He suspected that Ye Qingtian and his stepmother had deliberately transferred him out of the country so that they could tamper with the company.
This speculation made him feel extremely chilled, and at the same time he was extremely worried about the company's current situation.
"Could it be true, as Uncle Zhao said, that my elder brother and stepmother deliberately sent me to the United States so they could take over the company?"
Ye Qingyun fell into deep thought, thinking about how to deal with the difficult situation next.
After careful consideration, Ye Qingyun decided not to reveal his intentions easily.
He wanted to secretly investigate the true situation of the company, understand what his elder brother and stepmother had done, and then formulate corresponding countermeasures based on the actual situation.
Only in this way can he better protect the family business and prevent any potential threats.
Ye Qingyun's arrival was like a shot of adrenaline for the overseas branch of Ye's Group. The originally lifeless colleagues regained their former vitality. Ye Qingyun ordered the company's executives to report on the company's operations one by one.
Ye Qingyun is decisive and efficient in his work, and clearly distinguishes rewards and punishments.
The people who usually took advantage of the situation in the company disappeared. Under his leadership, the company quickly entered the fast lane.
Ye Qingtian broke the company's office computer, which was no small matter, because the computer contained many commercial secrets of the Ye Group.
Ye Qingyun was worried about letting others repair it, so he decided to do it himself.
However, things were not as simple as he thought. Although he tried his best, it was not easy to repair the computer.
Ye Qingyun tried his best and used all the computer knowledge he had, but the computer still could not be restored to normal.
Ye Qingyun knew the importance of these business secrets, and if they were lost or leaked, it would bring huge losses to the company. Therefore, he was determined to repair the computer.
Ye Qingyun did not become discouraged by the difficulties, nor did he give up.
He was busy with work during the day and continued to study how to repair computers at night.
After three consecutive days and nights of unremitting efforts, he finally found the problem and successfully repaired the computer.
Ye Qingyun immediately copied all the important data stored in the computer to ensure that nothing was lost.
While repairing the computer, Ye Qingyun accidentally discovered some suspicious files. The dates of these files showed that they were created before Ye Qingtian left.
Ye Qingyun frowned tightly, and an ominous premonition came to his mind. He felt that there must be some secret hidden behind this.
He carefully examined the documents and found that they appeared to be related to a major collaboration of the company that had not been made public before.
Ye Qingyun thought that this might be the key clue to uncover the conspiracy between his elder brother and stepmother, so he decided to investigate the matter in depth.
Ye Qingyun quietly launched an investigation. He used his connections and resources to try to find information related to these documents.
As the investigation deepened, he discovered some shocking evidence that pointed to the fact that Ye Qingtian and Mrs. Jin were manipulating the company's affairs behind the scenes.
Ye Qingyun was extremely angry, but he suppressed his anger and decided to take action after obtaining more evidence.
At the same time, he also strengthened internal supervision of the company to prevent them from succeeding again.
During a high-level company video conference, Ye Qingyun deliberately raised questions about that major cooperation.
Ye Qingtian and Mrs. Jin seemed a little flustered, but they tried to hide their uneasiness.
Ye Qingyun watched coldly, and he became more and more certain of his guess.
He decided to speed up the pace, expose their crimes and protect the interests of the family business.
Ye Qingyun mentioned this matter to his father intentionally or unintentionally.
Ye Junhao said calmly that he had known about this matter for a long time and asked Ye Qingyun not to pursue the matter any further.
Ye Qingyun felt very depressed.
