Chapter 695: Blood Will Flow: Unthreatened Ye Cheng

CHAPTER 695
For those who had important things to do and revenge to plan, times seemed to pass on a little bit more slowly than expected.
By the next week, things went on as usual with them not receiving any threat from Chairman Zhang and no trouble at all.
It almost felt as though everything was in place and everyone had given up but Ye Cheng knew better.
Seated in his office like every other day, his fingers typed away on his laptop with his full attention on the work at hand.
He had rushed early to work that Wednesday so as to finish up with some work and get a way to gather the money his father had squandered to hide his shame.
.....
Ring! Ring!
His gaze shifted a bit to the side, looking at his phone on the desk to see who was calling so early in the morning.
His brows kneaded as a dark glint flashed in his eyes. Ever since his accident and how things had transpired, he did not look forward to answering any call from unknown numbers.
Sticking to his policy, he averted his gaze from the telephone and continued on what he was doing.
Soon enough the call died and so did his speed.
Hitting the enter button, he relaxed his body against his chair, his chest rising and falling as he took in a deep breath.
“Phew, that was fast,” he complimented himself. “Good work, Cheng. Now time to read through and send for printing to the boards.”
The second he said that his phone screen lit up again and the same number began to call.
“Tsk, persistent bastard. If I chose not to answer, would you keep at it?”
He picked up his phone reluctantly and answered the call. A mistake as the voice he heard from the other side of the phone was none other than..
“Chairman Zhang,” he voiced out his name with the best strong intent he could get, proving to him that his call wasn’t welcomed.
Regardless, the old Chairman spoke on, ignoring him. “Ye Cheng.”
“I do not have anything to say to you.”
“Do you now? Hmm, it seems like you are more trouble than your father was,” Chairman Zhang complimented.
“Thanks, but no thanks. If you are here to tell me how not of the chip of the old block I am, I am afraid I must say, you are wasting your time and mine. Sadly, I do not have the time to waste and spare.”
“Hmm. Do you think that because you could hurt my daughter, I would let things slide so easily, Ye Cheng?”
“No. In fact, I expect the worst from you. However, that is on one side and note. If you are coming at me then do it.”
“Oh, sure I will,” Chairman Zhang accepted his offer. “I promise to get you for what you did to my Qing Mei and Huizhong.”
“Backstabbing conniving wretches,” Ye Cheng spat out with disgust.
“Say whatever you want to say. I just called to let you know that your handcrafts are great and I am a fast and better learner.”
“I should let you know as well, Chairman Zhang, I have not even begun. I simply just let your righthand man be in charge of giving your granddaughter a taste of her own medicine.”
“How dare you, Ye Cheng?! What proof do you think you have to dare say that? I should sue you for slandering,” Chairman Zhang threatened.
“Sue?” A small smile fell off his lips as he stood to his feet, with his hand holding his phone to his ear while the other casually rested in his trousers’ pocket.
“And what proof do you have for accusing me of such? If there is anything, thank your goodness I have not started yet. I did not attack Bai Qing Mei. Your righthand man did it. Not me. So, blame someone else and take it elsewhere.”
“If you had not captured him and haven’t tied him up...”
“If you want to blame anyone,” Ye Cheng cut in, “Then blame that granddaughter of yours. This was just a slight warning. Next time, I promise you, I would not be so kind.”
“Ye Cheng!” He roared over the phone but the indifferent CEO did not bother with his usual cool or the yell he got and kept his eyes narrowed.
His rage was already being ignited. Now was the time.
“Ye Cheng,” Chairman Zhang called out again, calmer in a way. “I warn you, Ye Cheng. For what you did to my warehouse and what you did to my daughter, be prepared, my wrath would come and when it does, I believe your mother and your wi...”
“Now look here, Zhang,” he interjected. “This would be the last time I would hear you make mention of my wife or my mother, is that understood?”
“Ye Che....”
“Silence,” Ye Cheng hollered in rage, his hand in his pocket now balled into a fist at his side.
“I have tolerated and been calm with the nonsense your granddaughter and her boyfriend had been doing but my calmness has its limits and it was breached when Bai Qing Mei and Hao Huizhong not only tried to slander her but now tried to kill Li Jing.”
“Ye Cheng.”
“I thought I said silence?” If Chairman Zhang could see him now he would have been shocked at the coldness that seeped out from Ye Cheng’s eyes and the murdering intent of an aura he produced
“Now look here, Zhang, hurt me, I may be forgiving but go after the two most important women in my life, and you would be dead meat. I would go any length to bring you down and those past events were my warnings.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“Everything, Zhang. You once tried to steal my company and I am sure you did it again with my father. I had let it slide but now, it is my turn to repay you tenfold.”
Due to the deepness in his voice and the anger he showed, Chairman Zhang for the first time felt a threat hit him hard.
He knew that Ye Cheng wasn’t playing and would indeed do as he had said.
All he wanted was to threaten the young CEO, turns out, he got his head bitten.
“For the fact that you threatened my mother’s life, be prepared, I would take from you all that you love and make their punishments painful.”
A cheeky grin formed around the corners of his lips at the thought of things he could do to make his revenge sweet.
“Also, if so much as you hurt a hair on Li Jing’s head or my mother’s, hahaha, I would make you live to regret the day you set eyes on me and my company. This is my last warning and oh, as a welcoming present to our war, I hope you would not back down from this lawsuit.”
“What lawsuit?” Chairman Zhang’s eyes dimmed. “What are you talking about?”
“Umm, you should be getting my present to you today. And know this, all your secrets and lies, I would expose, including your supporters. It is not too late now to back down and rethink what you want to do. If you are sure you want to go against me or not.”
“Hmph, you can talk all you want, Ye Cheng, I would not back down.”
“Good, because I promise you, blood will flow.”
“Ye Cheng! How can you...” he did not wait for Chairman Zhang to finish his words before ending the call.
As far as Ye Cheng was concerned, he did not have any useful words to say to the likes of that man.
Regardless of whatever threat he wanted to spree, Ye Cheng was ready and prepared. He had been gentle all this while, why masking his wicked self because of Li Jing.
Due to how his father was, he bore some nonsense for his mother’s sake and when she left, his ruthlessness showed in the business world and he did his dealings with a clean mind but a tough heart.
Now, they wanted to bring that side of him out and he readily welcomed it. This way, he could protect the women in his life, while taking care of his enemies properly and for good.
He checked his contact and brought out his friend’s number.
“Fong!”
“Ye!” Won’t Wei Ling called out with the same magnitude as he heard his name. “Boss Ye, what is it?” Although his voice was deep and well vexed, it had a hint of sarcasm in it and laughter.
Ye Cheng could not bother with his friend’s play now. He needed to present Chairman Zhang with another gift quickly.
“You know the drill. War has begun.”
“I have been waiting for this call for a long, long time, that I had to wonder if wooing and marrying our sister-in-law turned you so soft?”
“I have been calm. When I was to go ruthless on the world after the betrayal from Qing Mei, Li Jing found me, but now, no more.”
