Be My Strength - Chapter 436
“Ye Xuanyuan!!!” Luo Han glared at Mr. Ye when he saw the state his wife was in. No matter how indifferent he was to her whereabouts, she was his wife. She should have been treated with respect!
“She’s too noisy. I’ve to starve her a little to reduce the noise,” said Mr. Ye emotionlessly. He was not the kind of person to hurt a woman, but knowing that this woman played a role in taking his son away and that she might be responsible for what happened to Lin, he did not even hesitate a little when he told his men to cut her meals down to once a day.
He wished that he was a much crueler man… But he was not. He could not hurt any woman without thinking about his sister or his wife. Even when he told himself that Mrs. Luo was not a woman but a beast cloaked in human skin, he could not do it. All he could do was to starve her.
Ignoring Luo Han, Mr. Ye turned to DX and said, “I know that you’ve been looking for her… And even though I don’t know the whole story, I know that my son is in your hands. If you’d promise me something, I’d give her over to you immediately.”
Hearing the man’s words, DX smiled. He then laughed a little before saying, “Why would I want her? What I want is Ye Tian. He’s the one who hurt my wife.”
“A-And you’ll have Xiao Tian as well…” said Mr. Ye with a slight tremor in his voice.
His words caused DX, Callum, and Ghost to frown a little as they felt suspicious. The man had been wanting to meet DX for a long time, and he had been pleading for Ye Tian’s life… But now, he was saying that he would give both Ye Tian and Mrs. Luo to DX?
Mr. Ye ignored the look that DX was giving him. Instead, he looked at his man. Once he gave his man the signal, the man pushed Mrs. Luo over to one of DX’s men.
When DX looked at him with a slight frown as if he was trying to rearrange his words, Mr. Ye said, “I only have one request, XiAn. Keep him in captive if you want, but please spare his life.”
It was obvious that he was talking about Ye Tian, and so, DX answered immediately, “No.”
He knew what Mr. Ye was doing. Mr. Ye knew that even if he managed to exchange Ye Tian back today, there was no guarantee that DX would not come after Ye Tian again after this. The only thing that Mr. Ye could do now was to ensure the life of his son.
“He’s just an innocent boy who had nowhere to run from the moment he was born… If you want anyone to blame,” said Mr. Ye. He turned to point a finger at Luo Han before gritting, “Blame him! He’s the cause of all this!”
Luo Han glared at Mr. Ye as he snapped, “Ye Xuanyuan, what the f*ck are you talking about? How can you give Xiao Tian to him?!”
Hearing Luo Han calling his son so intimately, Mr. Ye laughed, “I can’t do anything to you… All these years, I’ve to pretend that I know nothing about what you’ve done to her… I’ve to pretend that we are still friends… But guess what… She told me.”
He glared at Luo Han with bloodshot eyes and hissed, “On the first day of our marriage, she told me the truth. How you forced yourself on her during her birthday… How you hurt her despite her pleas…”
Luo Han went wide-eyed as he heard what Mr. Ye was saying. In fact, he was a little surprise that Mr. Ye knew it. His brother-in-law had never shown anything that would say otherwise and so, Luo Han thought that his sister had never mentioned anything to anyone.
Despite that, Luo Han immediately composed himself and he quickly said, “That doesn’t change the fact that Xiao Tian would be in danger if you give him to Du XiAn! You’re just sending him to his death!”
With his fists clenched, Mr. Ye sneered, “I’ve never said anything because I want to protect her reputation… I buried everything to protect Xiao Tian… But you won’t even let her son go. You keep coming to Xiao Tian’s life. Without your influence, Xiao Tian would have a completely different life. He’d have never dared to do things like that with Luo Yin!”
He did everything he could to help give his son a better life. He did not have the power to fight against Luo Han. When he agreed to push DX’s off, he had hoped to gain more strength from it. He wanted to eventually put Ye Tian on the position of President of Du Conglomerate…
He had also wanted to use that opportunity to take Luo Han down. Once DX was forced to step down, Mr. Ye would reveal everything that Luo Han did to bribe some of the directors in Du Conglomerate. Such news would be able to damage Luo Han’s reputation as well as his standing in politics.
What he did not expect was DX’s efficiency in sniffing out the spies. DX successfully got rid of all the spies, surpassed everyone’s expectation, and protected his own position.
Mr. Ye was proud of his nephew, and he approved DX’s action of cutting him off his life. Mr. Ye knew that if he was as good as DX, the Ye Family would have achieved more than what he managed to do. If he was more like DX, Mr. Ye would not be afraid of going against Luo Corporation heads-on.
However, he had his regret. He regretted that he failed to provide more for his son.
Mr. Ye took a deep breath before saying, “Xiao Tian is my son. His future, I decide.”
Instead of Luo Han, the one who replied was DX.
“No. His future, I decide,” said DX with a cool and composed voice. He had enough with those two acting as if he was not there.
He glanced at Mrs. Luo before he roughly pulled off the tape on her mouth. The moment he pulled it off, Mrs. Luo started to shout rude words at Mr. Ye for everything she had to suffer for the past few months.
Once she finally stopped to catch her breath, with a calm expression, DX asked Luo Han, “I’ll let you choose. Luo Yin or Ye Tian.”
