Chapter 1194: Chapter 1194: Dad Used to Not Be So Fierce (8)

“No matter what, you can’t resign! Ye Qilan has already been murdered. If you resign, the person behind the murder of Ye Qilan will be even more unscrupulous. We can’t let Su Bai suffer such an injustice, nor can we let that person succeed and escape the law.” After a moment of silence, Qiao Qiao spoke.

“I won’t resign, but the other party will still release the video. Once the video comes out, I would have to step down anyway. Since the result is the same, why don’t we choose a method that causes less harm?”

Ye Shiqing added, “Once I step down, that person will definitely show up to inspect their handiwork.”

The Ye Family had quite a few enemies before, with a wide range of suspects, making it difficult to determine who’s behind all this at the time being.

So far, that person has not revealed any clues, which is why they have no way of investigating.

“Even if we know who it is, what difference does it make? You don’t have any leverage against that person!” Suddenly, Qiao Qiao felt something was off.

If Ye Shiqing thought about using resignation to draw out the person behind him, did that mean he already had a strategy in response? Ye Shiqing didn’t seem like such an incapable man; he probably had a complete plan in place to dare to do so, right?

“Big brother, do you have some sort of plan?” Qiaoqiao stared at Ye Shiqing’s face and asked.

Ye Shiqing countered, “What do you think?”

Seeing this, Qiao Qiao let out a sigh of relief. “Let’s pretend I didn’t say anything then. Since you have a plan, I’ll go back and explain everything to Su. Stop disappearing on whim…”

Suddenly the doorbell rang, startling her. She looked towards Ye Shiqing, “Someone is looking for you.”

She got up to check the monitor, then returned to Ye Shiqing’s side, “It’s grandfather, I’m going to hide upstairs.”

Just as she was about to go upstairs, Ye Shiqing grabbed her hand. Then, he proceeded to open the door.

Qiao Qiao’s face changed slightly, “What are you doing? If grandfather sees me here, he’ll misunderstand again.”

Ye Shiqing raised his eyebrows and countered, “What could grandfather possibly misunderstand? If you think there’s nothing shameful between us, why hide? Isn’t that proof you have a guilty conscience?”

“Alright, alright, just let go. I won’t hide anymore,” Qiao Qiao thought that once Ye Shiqing let go, she’d immediately run upstairs.

But Ye Shiqing saw through her intentions and had no plans to let go.

When Elder Ye came in, he saw the two of them in a less-than-dignified scramble…

Elder Ye looked sternly at Qiao Qiao, who instinctively shrank her neck and hid behind Ye Shiqing.

Ye Shiqing pulled Qiao Qiao next to him, calmly facing Elder Ye, “Grandfather doesn’t need to worry about Xiaoqiao. I like her, it’s unrequited love, and she has been avoiding me. If it weren’t for her concern about me today, she wouldn’t have come to see me.”

Elder Ye scoffed, “Seeing what happened to Sisi, how dare you still mess around with her? Women are trouble, do you want to end up like Sisi?”

For Su Hongxing, Ye Qilan lost his life.

Suddenly Ye Shiqing wanted to resign, could it also be because of Qiao Qiao? Contemplating this possibility, Elder Ye even harbored thoughts of killing Qiao Qiao.

Anyone who stands in the way of the Ye Family should be eliminated!

“Grandfather might as well speak plainly. What brings you here today? If grandfather intends to persuade me not to resign, I’m afraid that’s not something grandfather can decide. The decline of the Ye Family is an undeniable fact; it has been falling apart since the day Sisi died. If grandfather expects me to glorify the Ye Family, I frankly admit I lack the ability!” Ye Shiqing spoke slowly.
