Ye Tian saw that the old man was very sincere and said, "Elder Yang, please sit down and talk."
Yang Shao quickly pulled out a chair. The old man bowed slightly before sitting down and said, "Mr. Ye, allow me to introduce myself. I am Yang Guji. I founded the Yang Group at the age of thirty. Now, the Yang Group is a listed enterprise with a market value of three hundred billion. I have a son named Yang Zhaoguang. He was in the photovoltaic business a few years ago, and the market value of his company has already exceeded four hundred billion. In addition, my other two sons and three grandsons have all achieved something. The total assets of my Yang family are at least five hundred billion. I'm not boasting, but all the Yang family's enterprises are in decline, and my sons are either injured or have had strokes; in short, everything is going wrong. A while ago, I was also diagnosed with cancer, but fortunately, it was discovered in time."
After listening, Ye Tian said, "Elder Yang, please tell me the story from the beginning."
Yang Guji then recounted the entire process. About a month ago, Yang Guji's eldest grandson, Yang Haijing, was injured outside.
The Yang family was a prominent and wealthy family in Zhonghai. They immediately used their connections to apprehend the assailant. In the end, the assailant was sentenced to three years in prison.
However, Yang Haijing was not satisfied. He mentioned the matter to a friend in the underworld, and the next day, the assailant died in prison.
From then on, the Yang family began to experience misfortune. First, the company's stock fell, then Yang Haijing, who was hospitalized, suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and fell into a coma. Doctors said he was very likely to become a vegetative state.
Subsequently, Yang Zhaoguang was in a car accident, resulting in the amputation of both legs and the rupture of his left eyeball. A few days later, another son was seriously injured in a fall. Even he was diagnosed with cancer.
Ye Tian listened and asked, "Why did that person beat Yang Haijing?"
Yang Guji was silent for a few seconds and said, "He was a young man, in his early twenties, only a year out of college and looking for a job. He had a very beautiful girlfriend. The young man seemed to like her very much and would do anything for her."
Ye Tian listened quietly, knowing that Yang Guji did not want to reveal this part.
"The young man bought a car worth over a hundred thousand yuan and used his girlfriend as a car model, taking photos and posting them online. Haijing's secretary saw the photos and showed them to him. Haijing found the girl's contact information, and being an experienced womanizer, he quickly won her over."
At this point, Yang Guji sighed softly, "A girl in her early twenties, how could she resist the allure of wealth and luxury? The young man learned about this and was very angry, saying some extreme things. Later, he tracked the girl and found Haijing, then suddenly rushed up and beat him."
Ye Tian said faintly, "Then your son Yang Haijing found someone to kill this young man. Do you suspect the young man's family sought revenge?"
Yang Guji nodded, "Exactly. But I had someone investigate. The young man came from an ordinary background, not like someone with connections."
Ye Tian sneered, "Disregarding human life, your son's hands are quite cruel. To kill a young man just like that."
Yang Guji gave a wry smile, "He never suffered hardship. His life has been too smooth, so he doesn't consider the consequences when he acts. Alas, I failed to educate him well."
Ye Tian did not want to get involved in such matters. Firstly, the Yang family had killed someone first, so retaliation from the other party was understandable. Secondly, the person who could bring down such a large financial group must be a master, and he did not want to conflict with them.
So he said faintly, "I'm sorry, I can't help with this matter."
Yang Guji suddenly knelt on the ground with a "plop," tears streaming down his face, "Sir, please show some mercy. Haijing deserved his punishment for killing the young man, but please spare the other members of the Yang family; they are innocent."
Just as Ye Tian was about to refuse again, a faint voice sounded in his ear, "I advise you not to meddle in other people's business, or you will suffer more than the Yang family!"
To be threatened so directly by someone who was a half-step Human Immortal, Ye Tian chuckled and said to Yang Guji, "I can help you, but this matter is very troublesome, and you will have to pay a sufficiently high price."
Yang Guji's eyes lit up, and he said, "As long as you can help the Yang family out of their predicament, my Gu family is willing to offer a ten billion thank-you fee! After it's done, I will also give you five percent of Haijing's company shares!"
At the current market value, five percent would be worth tens of billions!
