Chapter 3970: Chapter 3970: You Didn’t Know?

"Wait!" Ye Maoshan furrowed his brows and called out to stop him, his tiger-like eyes fixed on him, voice full of disbelief: "You said he was injured?"

When did Ye Wangchuan go to the illegal zone, and how did he not know?

That brat never told him a damn thing!

Ye Maoshan’s face went completely dark, unable to control his increasingly ugly expression. The veins on the back of his clenched fist bulged as he looked at Vancouver and asked, "How badly is he hurt? When did he get hurt? Who did it."

"???" Vancouver was utterly baffled by the three questions in a row, even more stunned than him: "You really don’t know?!"

"Heh." Ye Maoshan looked at him with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes: "What do you think?"

"..." From the looks of it, he really didn’t know.

Vancouver stood there, frozen, not knowing what to do for a long while. When he got the call from Old Xue of the reclusive family, from the tone on the other end he had gathered that Ye Maoshan should already be in the loop.

But now Ye Maoshan was clearly telling him he wasn’t, so how was he supposed to play the go-between?

The man doesn’t know a thing!

Facing Old Master Ye’s aggressive gaze, Vancouver had no choice but to bite the bullet and roughly lay out the part he knew.

He didn’t know much either; it all came from Old Xue, just a general outline. Basically, both sides had a conflict, the empress made a move in the illegal zone and injured Young Master Ye, but she herself was also detained by them.

The matter itself wasn’t complicated, otherwise he wouldn’t have agreed to come forward as the middleman.

The reclusive family was willing to back down.

Now it mainly depended on the Ye family’s attitude.

Thinking of the tempting conditions Old Xue had offered, Vancouver felt there was no reason for Beijing not to agree. Seeing Old Master Ye sinking into thought, he confidently opened his mouth to persuade: "Young Master Ye’s injuries aren’t serious. The main problem is that his girlfriend Qiao Nian refuses to let go, that’s why I came to ask you, Elder, to come forward and talk to her. After all, we’re dealing with a reclusive family from Continent M. Better to resolve enmity than create it; there’s no need for everyone to stiffen things up. Elder Ye, don’t you think?"

"Hmph!" Ye Maoshan flung his hand and sneered: "You’ve already said everything, what else is there for me to say."

Vancouver stood there awkwardly, rubbing the bridge of his nose, and gave a self-deprecating laugh: "I spoke out of turn, Elder, don’t be angry."

Afraid that if he kept talking like this Ye Maoshan wouldn’t even listen to him finish, he quickly added: "I’d better tell you the conditions the reclusive family put on the table..."

Rage surged in Ye Maoshan’s chest, his breathing growing rough. If this were his younger days, he definitely would’ve turned on his heel and walked out, not listening to a single word.

But he was no longer the hotheaded young man he once was. Years of struggle had tempered his temperament, taught him to handle things with more finesse.

So even though his expression was ugly, he still listened through to the end of what Vancouver relayed on behalf of the reclusive family.

The more he listened, the more his face eased.

The sharp aura all around him gradually softened.

"What you mean is that Continent M is willing to unconditionally cede sixty percent of the chip market share on Continent Y, and as long as we operate within that share, they won’t play any tricks behind our backs. Moreover, they’re willing to withdraw from this round of competition and return the projects they previously snatched from us?"

"Yes."

Ye Maoshan walked off with his hands behind his back, lips pressed together, emotions surging in his eyes as he began to weigh it.

Strictly speaking, their Ye family member had been schemed against until he almost lost his life, and on top of that was injured—of course the Ye family would never forgive the other side.

No matter how good the conditions they offered, they wouldn’t accept them.
