Chapter 2383 Handover
"You're saying that there is a woman named Sophie who might expose your identity?"
After Ye Tianlong finished briefly talking about Sophie, Ye Weiguo's face showed no emotion and waved Ye Tianlong to sit down on the sofa.
"She was a former friend of mine, but she later became a grudge because of the murder of Cai Shuihui. She should be full of hatred for me."
Ye Tianlong tried to use his words as objectively as possible: "Because I rescued the poisoned Cai Shuihui in front of her, and then chopped off his head with a knife."
Ye Weiguo nodded calmly: "Give her hope and make her despair. There is no doubt that she hates you."
"That's right."
Ye Tianlong sighed softly: "I just know that she hates me very much, so I'm worried that she hates everyone who looks like me."
"If she sees Ye Tianlong's photo or sees me in person, she will go crazy and mistake me for Ye Tianlong."
"Maybe she can't find any solid basis, but it will definitely give Cai Jiujin a flash of inspiration."
"The four elders of Mingyue are all old foxes. Once they become suspicious, they will definitely find out the truth, so I came here to inform grandpa."
Ye Tianlong looked at the old man: "The first is to give you a sense of security, and the second is to see what countermeasures are available."
Then he sighed again: "Actually, I'm a little confused. With Cai Jiujin's identity and status, why would he let Sophie follow him?"
"Whether it's Sophie's knowledge or connections, it's logically impossible for her to fall under Cai Jiujin's eyes."
He smiled bitterly: "Besides, she is still a foreigner."
Ye Weiguo took over the topic: "This may be strange to you, but I can understand it because I know a thing or two about Cai Jiujin."
"She is from the Security Bureau and is naturally suspicious of the world. For her, an enemy's 'traitor' is more useful than one of her own."
"As long as Cai Jiujin is sure that Sophie's hatred for you is empty, she will bring Sophie in and train her."
"In this way, Sophie will become her staunch lackey in the future, and the most vicious lackey in the capital who bites you."
"The man who led the British and French allied forces into the Old Summer Palace, burning and killing them all, was not an outsider. He was the son of Gong Zizhen, a famous poet in the late Qing Dynasty."
Ye Weiguo smiled faintly: "It is Cai Jiujin's bad taste to cultivate traitors from the opposing camp, so it is not difficult to understand why he values Sophie."
"Understood……"
Ye Tianlong nodded, and then asked: "In this way, Sophie is more dangerous. It seems that we need to take precautions."
He originally thought that the old man would be serious, but Ye Weiguo was calm and calm, as if this was a trivial matter that was not worth mentioning. Then he saw the old man smile:
"Tianlong, don't worry, they can't make waves."
"You just need to remember one thing and hold on tight, you will be Ye Tianlong and my grandson, Ye Weiguo. I will take care of the rest."
"You don't have to think about it anymore, Grandpa can fix it."
Ye Weiguo directly reassured Ye Tianlong: "Cai Jiujin and the others can't possibly crush you to death with this matter."
Ye Tianlong was slightly startled, and then whispered: "Grandpa, are you really sure?"
"certainly."
Ye Weiguo smiled: "Do you think grandpa is comforting you? There is no need at all. I am just a Sophie, and I have many ways to resolve it."
"So don't worry too much about your identity."
"Tianlong, tomorrow is my 100th birthday party, which shows that I have lived for a century."
Ye Weiguo changed the subject: "It's time for us to make a 'century' handover."
Ye Tianlong was stunned: "The handover of the century?"
Ye Weiguo nodded, then stood up and walked to the bookcase, took out a box, walked back to Ye Tianlong and opened it. There were eight badges in total.
These badges are all made of gold and are extremely finely crafted. Each has a surname and year engraved on it, making it look like a family badge.
At the bottom of the box, there are two layers of glass. In the middle of the glass, there are eight parchment rolls. They are a bit old, but they are still well preserved.
Ye Tianlong asked curiously: "Grandpa, what does this mean?"
"Half a century ago, in the colorful world of Mingjiang, in addition to the two tycoons of the Du family and the Huang family, there were eight wealthy businessmen."
Ye Weiguo told a story: "Although they are not as powerful as the Du and Huang families, their money and industry are not inferior."
"When Mingjiang was in the most crisis and chaos, eight wealthy businessmen and their families were surrounded by a group of Japanese soldiers while they were moving."
"All the bodyguards of the eight wealthy businessmen were killed, and more than thirty nephews and nephews from each family were killed in the battle. The remaining women also faced a humiliating end."
"I happened to be passing there with a dozen brothers. I couldn't bear the massacre of all eight wealthy businessmen, so I killed the Japanese people and saved nearly a hundred people."
Ye Weiguo's eyes gained a gleam: "I also robbed the money from the Japanese people and gave it back to the eight wealthy businessmen."
"The eight wealthy businessmen were extremely grateful to me and wanted to give me half of their wealth. I rejected their kindness."
"Later, the eight wealthy businessmen all evacuated to Taicheng. They were grateful for my kindness, so they found me through the organization and each gave me a badge."
"The eight wealthy businessmen told me back then that they owed me a huge favor. If I need their help someday, just ask."
“Whether they can do it or not, they’re going to give it their all.”
"And this favor will not dissipate when they or I die. As long as the badge is still there, their family will fulfill its promise."
"Whether it's for me or the descendants of the Ye family..."
"For this reason, in addition to leaving their family crests, they also each gave a parchment with a promise written on it."
"The Ye family has gone through many ups and downs over the years, but I have never used a badge, nor have I ever thought of asking them for help."
A trace of self-mockery flashed across his face: "In addition to grandpa being able to grit his teeth and endure the wind and rain, there is also the fact that grandpa thinks he is noble and does not want to ask for repayment."
Ye Tianlong sighed softly: "Actually, it's not that grandpa thinks he is noble, but he doesn't want to be tainted with the atmosphere of money when he was going to "fight the national crisis together."
"What a considerate kid."
Ye Weiguo laughed loudly, and then continued to add: "Yes, this is what I thought before, but after Kong Feihan's attack, I changed."
"I suddenly felt that being too noble would harm myself and my family. I would be burdened with a good reputation, and my family would suffer from the false reputation."
"So it's better to be more down-to-earth and make yourself rich and powerful."
Ye Weiguo's eyes were extremely deep: "And now that I have a high and powerful position, I can not only protect my family and friends, but also help more people."
Ye Tianlong nodded: "Grandpa's words make sense."
Ye Weiguo pushed the box in front of Ye Tianlong: "I figured this out, so I took out the eight badges today and told you the story of that year."
"Grandpa doesn't know whether these badges and parchments can still be repaid by the eight wealthy businessmen back then, but he still wants to hand them over to you."
"Take it and see if you can make it valuable. It can be regarded as an inheritance from grandpa to you."
Ye Weiguo's wrinkles bloomed: "Tomorrow I will be a hundred years old, which is equivalent to another new life. It's up to you to worry about these things."
Ye Tianlong thought for a while, but without refusing, he reached out and took the box: "Grandpa, don't worry, I will dispose of it properly."
Regardless of whether these badges are valuable or not, Ye Tianlong will try his best to follow Ye Weiguo at this moment.
"Okay, this handover ends here."
Ye Weiguo shook Ye Tianlong's hand slightly, showing a strong and decisive momentum:
"Go ahead, let your hands and feet go and do your thing. Don't think about the consequences. God will kill God if he blocks it, and ghost will kill ghost if he blocks it."
"If you poke the basket, grandpa will carry it for you."
