"Yes!" Dong Ye nodded, not understanding why.
Then, she looked at the person in front of her with a puzzled expression: "What? Is there something wrong, young brother?"
The man's face was cold, and his voice seemed to come from the depths of an ice cellar.
"Yes."
"What is it?" Dong Ye asked again upon hearing this.
However, before she could finish, the man immediately cut in: "Our boss wants to see you."
The gloom on Dong Ye's face instantly melted away like ice prisms encountering clear sunlight.
She had thought it was something else.
"I didn't expect your boss to come so late. It seems something has happened."
She asked the person leading the way as gently as possible.
But that person seemed to have a screw loose.
Apart from the few words he had spoken earlier, he was as stiff as a piece of wood.
"Really." Dong Ye couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Even though her voice wasn't quiet, and the person in front probably heard some of it, he remained the same.
Just as she was about to speak again, the person in front suddenly stopped.
"Director Dong, we're here."
The man turned around, making way for Dong Ye: "Our boss is inside, please."
"This is a bit more like hosting."
Before the man could get far, Dong Ye pushed open the door with a "shriek."
Inside, several dim yellow lights flickered in the small space.
It seemed a few people were sitting around, but the moment Dong Ye's gaze fell on some of their faces, she was stunned.
"Dong Hua? Why are you here?"
Realizing that her son had probably rushed over to accompany her after her call, the question that was about to escape her throat was swallowed back. But the next moment, noticing the seat her son occupied, her slight confusion became difficult to suppress.
Because her son was sitting in the main seat.
"Son, hurry up."
This behavior was quite impolite to guests.
However, this time, before she could speak, someone standing beside Dong Hua immediately spoke.
"Why aren't you greeting Director Dong properly?"
The voice was clearly that of a superior pressuring a subordinate.
Dong Hua was planning to rebel!
A surge of anger rose from the depths of Dong Ye's heart.
"Dong Hua, what do you think you're doing?"
But at this moment, Dong Hua was like a completely different person from earlier in the day.
"Director Dong, this might be the last time I call you Director Dong. Starting tomorrow, when everyone leaves Bixiu Villa, let me manage the Dong family."
As expected, Dong Ye's vague premonition had now become an unchangeable reality, as solid as cast iron.
"You brat, I should have sent you out that day when Lu Feng came."
The liver-red color on Dong Ye's face, caused by anger, deepened with time.
But Dong Hua merely grinned slightly, then chuckled lightly.
"Hmph, that's only because you were too soft-hearted. Otherwise, how could I have succeeded?"
Although these words were unpleasant to hear, they were undeniable facts.
And Dong Ye had no reason to refute them at this moment.
"You!"
She could only raise a finger and curse Dong Hua sitting opposite her.
Dong Hua remained unmoved. He had already anticipated this scene, and even more disgusting words had crossed his mind.
Compared to gaining control of the Dong family, these were nothing.
He knew exactly what he wanted now.
Curse all you want, curse to your heart's content.
Dong Ye's scolding only stirred up a sense of immense triumph in his heart.
Seeing that she had tired herself out from scolding, Dong Hua finally spoke, "Mom, since you've said everything, here's an appointment letter. Why don't you sign it? After all, everyone here today is my person. Even if you don't want to sign, don't worry, you won't be able to leave."
The words were simple, but they were jarring to hear. What did he mean by "won't be able to leave"?
This was still Bixiu Villa, after all, the territory of her client.
She had met that person more than once. Did that person not give her any face?
Besides, she wasn't alone.
"Secretary, secretary." Thinking of this, Dong Ye immediately raised her voice.
But her voice was soon interrupted by Dong Hua.
"No need to call, Mom. I've already sent someone to escort the secretary back."
Now, her limbs and eyes were gone from this place.
She was like a blind person, standing on the edge of a thousand-foot cliff in the middle of the night.
Was this the end?
Seeing the most genuine thoughts in the woman's heart, Dong Hua, with an inscrutable and sinister smile, stood up, picked up the paper placed not far away, and hurried towards Dong Ye.
"Mom, although I am your son, you know I have a rather impatient personality. I'm always like this in everything I do. If you continue to hesitate, I really don't know what I'll do next."
He cast a cold glance at the people standing on both sides.
Among these people were many bodyguards with considerable skills, whom Dong Hua had specifically transferred from the Dong family.
This scene was truly laughable.
These people, who were usually capable assistants protecting the Dong family,
had now absurdly become Dong Hua's henchmen.
It was utterly ridiculous!
"You ungrateful wretches."
But this time, before she could finish her words, two people had already stepped forward.
Before she could protest,
the two skillfully pinned Dong Ye's arms behind her back.
"Mom, I think we shouldn't suffer needlessly."
"You win."
Dong Ye had no other choice at this point.
She could only stoop and walk towards the paper that Dong Hua had seemingly carelessly, but intentionally, dropped on the ground.
Seeing that the paper was about to be picked up by Dong Ye, Dong Hua was overjoyed and about to jump up from the ground.
"However, I have one condition."
"Speak."
"Don't mess with Lu Feng."
Just as she was about to pick up the pen, Dong Ye remembered this matter.
"Fine!"
Dong Hua nodded vigorously, but his face was full of mockery.
Knowing that Dong Hua was doing this deliberately, Dong Ye's grip on the pen tightened as if it would crush it.
But did she have any other choice now?
Just as she was at a loss, a voice suddenly rang out.
"Wait."
"Lu Feng?"
Seeing the figure approaching from a distance, Dong Hua was instantly stunned.
"How did this kid get in?"
"We don't know."
The two people beside him were also confused.
However, although Dong Hua felt uneasy, he maintained his composure.
"Kid, even if you got in today, what does it matter? I have many people here. If you want to cause trouble, you've come to the wrong place. Dare to make a move, and you'll be finished!"
But at this moment, Lu Feng was not flustered at all.
"You should look out the window yourself."
"What?" Realizing something was wrong, Dong Hua quickly did as he was told.
At this moment, illuminated by the outdoor landscape lights, figures stood in the darkness in the courtyard, one after another.
"What trick are you playing, kid?"
"You don't need to know that. Guards."
With this shout, the people lurking outside surged forward like a flood...
