Inside the Su family villa, the atmosphere was extremely strange.
The incessant ringing of the phone continued to grate on everyone present.
Although the Su family was in decline, they were still considered a colossal entity. In the entire Hua Nation, there were hardly a few who could swallow them whole!
And those few families capable of doing so could shake the whole Hua Nation with a mere stomp of their foot!
Did Ye Ling possess such a background?
All the Su family members were stunned, especially Su He and Su Youcheng. They had offended Ye Ling terribly just moments ago. Now, if Ye Ling wanted to deal with them, it would only take a flick of his finger to make their lives a living hell!
"Brother Ye Ling, this is..."
Su Ruoxue had no idea what Ye Ling had done, thinking he had used some kind of sorcery.
"Ruoxue, I told you, with me protecting you, you can do anything you want. No one can control your destiny."
Then, Ye Ling chuckled and announced to everyone, "I will help cover the Su family's financial deficit. After that, all of the Su family's assets will be transferred to Ruoxue free of charge."
Ye Ling's words immediately caused a massive stir, and all the Su family members stared at him in shock.
"Ye Ling, are you crazy? Do you know how much it cost to acquire all of my Su family's assets? And you're transferring them all to Su Ruoxue for free?"
Su Youcheng couldn't believe it and exclaimed.
Although their Su family couldn't compare to the Jiang family, their combined assets were still over ten billion. Such a vast fortune, and no one in the world would give it away so casually like Ye Ling, even if it was to their beloved!
"I'm willing."
Ye Ling narrowed his eyes and smiled, then said to the stunned bodyguards, "What are you waiting for? Throw Su He, Su Youcheng, and that Qiu Jieting out of my house."
"After you do this, your salaries will be doubled."
Hearing Ye Ling's words, the bodyguards exchanged glances. Then, unable to resist the temptation of doubled salaries, four of them moved towards Su He and Su Youcheng, while another went to grab Qiu Jieting.
"What are you doing? I'm your master! How dare you!"
Su Youcheng was lifted into the air by two bodyguards, his legs flailing uselessly. His expression was contorted.
He had never suffered such humiliation in his life!
Su He, however, was more realistic. Although the money for Ye Ling's acquisition of the Su family's assets had already arrived, and he wasn't penniless, his situation was actually better than when the Su family's businesses were booming. He knew very well that with Ye Ling's influence, dealing with him would be as easy as pie.
If Ye Ling simply went through the accounts of any of the Su family's businesses, it would be enough to send him to jail!
"I'll walk myself."
Su He didn't let the bodyguards carry him. He stood up on his own, bowed deeply to Ye Ling, and said with utmost sincerity, "Young Master Ye... no, Mr. Ye, I was wrong. We'll leave now. Please be magnanimous and spare us a way to survive."
"Dad, what are you doing?"
Su Youcheng stared at Su He bowing and admitting his mistake to Ye Ling with utter disbelief, shouting hoarsely.
"This might all be fake! Isn't he an extraordinary person? He must have used some kind of sorcery to make us hallucinate! Otherwise, how could he, an orphan of the Ye family..."
"Shut up!!!"
*Slap!*
Su He slapped Su Youcheng fiercely across the face, even knocking out one of his rotten teeth.
Blood splattered!
"Mr. Ye! We're leaving now!"
"Quickly take this unfilial son away!"
Su He, fearing that Su Youcheng might cause further trouble, bowed to Ye Ling again. Then, he hurriedly instructed the bodyguards to escort Su Youcheng out.
As for Qiu Jieting, who was still throwing a tantrum, Su He couldn't manage her. In the end, three bodyguards had to restrain her and carry her out.
Soon, the Su family villa fell silent again.
The maids hid far away, having witnessed a spectacular drama. Their gazes towards Ye Ling were filled with admiration.
Ye Ling, with his outstanding looks and demeanor, was the perfect male god in the eyes of many women. Coupled with his immense wealth, decisive actions, and fierce protectiveness of his own...
All these qualities added a layer of mystery to Ye Ling, which was fatally attractive to the women.
Even Su Qian, as an elder, felt a ripple of emotion when she looked at Ye Ling.
Su Xing took a long time to recover. He then turned to Ye Ling and asked, "Young Ye family member... how did you accomplish all this?"
He had just received a call saying that the entity behind the acquisition of the Su family's assets was the renowned Tianyi Consortium... that was a world-class consortium, composed of five top aristocratic families, possessing immense international influence. In those capitalistic countries, it could even single-handedly influence domestic politics!
Furthermore, the mercenaries under the Tianyi Consortium were comparable to the elite troops of major powers, capable of truly covering the sky with one hand!
Such a behemoth was not something their Su family could afford to offend, yet Ye Ling... could make the Tianyi Consortium work for him!
Thinking about it carefully, Ye Ling's background was unimaginably vast. If they were looking for a son-in-law, the young master of the Sun family was no match for Ye Ling at all!
Ye Ling smiled and said, "When acquiring the Su family's assets, my consortium did not hide its identity. You should have known already, right? Do you still need to ask me how I did it?"
"Your consortium?"
Su Xing suddenly stood up, startling Su Cheng beside him. Su Cheng quickly stepped forward to support Su Xing, fearing something might happen to him.
Su Xing couldn't care about anything else at the moment. He stared directly at Ye Ling and said, "Ye Ling, you are only in your early twenties, how can you be the owner of the Tianyi Consortium? Don't lie to me!!!"
"If Old Master Su doesn't believe me, he can go to the Su family in the capital and ask. Isn't your Su family's clan branch one of the five major aristocratic families behind the Tianyi Consortium?"
"However, if Old Master Su acknowledges this, then from now on, retire properly and enjoy your old age. Don't use your granddaughter as a tool for family alliances anymore."
Hearing Ye Ling's words, Su Xing was stunned, and then he slumped back into his seat dejectedly.
Ye Ling's confidence made Su Xing believe him by eighty percent.
There was no longer any need to go to the Su family to confirm.
Let alone the Tianyi Consortium, even the Su family in the capital was not something their branch could afford to offend.
Any young master from the Su family in the capital would be enough to cause trouble for their Su family.
If he went, he would only be humiliating himself.
"I understand..."
Su Xing sighed heavily, then said to Su Cheng, "I'm tired. Take me back to my room to rest."
Su Cheng hesitated, "Dad, isn't this villa already..."
Su Xing replied, "It all belongs to Ruoxue. Would Ruoxue really kick this old man out?"
"I would never dare to kick Grandpa out!" Su Ruoxue quickly said.
Hearing Su Ruoxue's words, Su Xing gave a wry smile. He shook his head, no longer needing Su Cheng's support, and slowly walked back.
He knew that the era that was to come no longer belonged to him.
Ye Ling stood up and looked at Su Xing's lonely back. A slight smile curved his lips, and he bowed respectfully, "Old Master Su, please rest well."
