Chapter 481: The Grudge Between the Yang Family and the Guo Family
"Yes, do you know about leukemia?"
"Oh, of course, I know about that. These days, aren't many people trying to conquer leukemia? It's just that with advanced medical treatments, leukemia can be controlled now."
"But back then, it was considered a terminal illness, beyond the help of any hospital. At that time, we indeed had a batch of chemicals stored in our warehouse, which were highly radioactive. Prolonged exposure to such substances could eventually lead to disease."
"That has nothing to do with you guys, right? Plus, didn't you say your industries aren't the same? If it's like that, and your Guo Family had such chemicals, then the Yang Family should also have had them in their home, right?"
"Yes, the Yang Family did have them, but theirs were genuine and not highly radioactive. However, later on, during a check in our warehouse, it was discovered that the cosmetics we stored were seriously exceeding the standard limits. So, that batch of chemicals was disposed of."
"In that case, couldn't someone suspect that the matter is related to the Guo Family? That you used this substandard chemical product to get close to the child and cause him to contract the disease?"
"That's why I dare not think about it in that way. If it really was so, then it's hard for me to imagine what kind of person my grandfather was. Just to get business and achieve his goals, would he really go to such lengths? I feel that my grandfather shouldn't be like that."
"If the grandfather you knew wasn't like that, then you shouldn't suspect such a thing."
"But if I don't suspect it, the old master keeps insisting that it was Yang Da who harmed my father. If that's the case, why would he hurt my dad for no reason? Unless it's that Yang Da knew that his son's death was related to me as well."
"In other words, he wanted your grandfather to experience the pain of losing a son. If that's so, then I guess your dad's car accident happened after his son's death."
"Yes, about half a year later, my dad had that accident. At that time, there were rumors in society about being haunted by wronged spirits, and that eventually both great families ended in having no descendants to mourn them. That's why we left Sea City afterwards."
"Then why did Yang Da leave Sea City?"
"After the incident with my dad, my grandfather constantly harassed him, determined to confront him head-on. Unclear whether it was out of guilt or not wanting to face the dispute any longer, he left overnight and later arranged to sell off his properties here before leaving for abroad."
"So after that, the old master didn't pursue the matter any further?"
"No, how could he continue? With the passage of events, grandfather's health declined daily, so he had no desire to bother with these matters anymore."
"What's the situation with Yang Wenyu now?"
"You should know, Yang Da is Yang Wenyu's uncle, and now the Yang Family no longer has any descendants. The only heir is Yang Wenyu, so Yang Da would not allow the family assets to fall into anyone else's hands. He had to protect Yang Wenyu as well."
"Now that I think about it, it seems that all these developments must have their reasons and rationale."
"Exactly, that's why with such deep-seated hatred hidden between the two of them over the years, I worry that their clash will be like a tinderbox, ready to explode. Once it happens, how will we face it? I don't want to involve innocent people in this."
He understood what was being said now, as Ye Chen had thought the same way back then.
But there was no helping it, some things can only be controlled to an extent, and some are completely out of control.
He could only do his utmost in leveraging all his rights and abilities to resolve this matter successfully, and then he would feel like he had retired with his mission accomplished.
"With such blessings and grudges borne by their generation, it's indeed hard for us younger ones to comprehend. But what's the point of all this fighting? Do they intend to pass on these grudges to the third generation of heirs? In that case, both you and Yang Wenyu won't end up with a good fate."
"Yes, and ironically, Yang Wenyu has chosen me as his target this time. Don't you think this is all too coincidental?"
"Coincidental? Are you suggesting that he already knew it was from the Guo Family before going after you?"
"I guess that's the implication. Otherwise, how could he have stirred up this trouble?"
"So, what you mean is that the instigators have always been their people, which means that Yang Da has never given up over the years, right?"
"Right, I suppose it's the same idea as my grandfather's. But both knew that when two tigers fight, one is bound to lose. Considering they were both so powerful, the chances of winning were about fifty-fifty, so neither dared to act rashly."
"I finally understand what the situation is. By the way, how's your dad doing now?"
"My dad is still the same, paralyzed in bed for so many years now, practically in a vegetative state. If it weren't for some advanced equipment and medicines to sustain him, he probably wouldn't have made it this far."
"Sigh, it's indeed very difficult when you think about it, but don't be so sad. Perhaps, with the continuous advancement in technology, your grandfather might actually wake up one day."
"Haha, I'll tell you, I'm not holding out much hope."
"By the way, we've been talking for a while, and you haven't mentioned your mom. Where is she?"
When Ye Chen reached this point, he saw a subtle change in Guo Hongyu's facial expression.
