Chapter 824: Trump Card
After a long while, Ye Cheng let out a long sigh and said, “I didn’t expect Yin Jia would do this.”
Only now did Chen Chen dare to relax.
Ye Cheng smiled. “It’s a pity that Guan Tang’s locked upnow. She’s really a stunner. Where is she being locked up?”

“Yi Garden. It’s the Yin family’s villa outside the city. It’s the Yin family’s private nursing home. It’s heavily guarded so it’ll be difficult for us to place our people there. It seems like the two young masters of the Yin family are recuperating there as well.”
Ye Cheng raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. “So Yin Jia is treating Guan Tang as a lunatic and locking her up in the place where the two young masters are recuperating? Heh, if you were Guan Tang, what would you do?”
Chen Chen was taken aback by the question and did not know how to answer.
Ye Cheng smiled. “If I were her, I’d deal with the two young masters first.After that, I’d use the trump card in my hand to seek me out for cooperation. After all, currently, apart from me, she has no one else.”
Chen Chen hesitated for a moment before he said, “Miss Yin told Miss Guan that you were the one who sold her out.”
Ye Cheng did not care. “It doesn’t matter. Women are like that. She’ll believe what she wants to believe. When the time comes, I can easily wash myself clean with just a word.”
After a moment, Chen Chen asked skeptically, “What trump card would Miss Guan have?”
Ye Cheng sneered. “When she was lost in the throes of passion, she once said that she has a hidden trump card. Isn’t it her goal to be the Eldest Young Madam of the Yin family? She must have some dirt on the Yin family. Alas, she won’t be able to use that trump card.”

Ye Cheng rose to his feet and stretched before he said again, “No matter what method I have to use, I have to get in touch with her. I have to obtain that trump card in her hand, and I’ll agree to any conditions to obtain them.”
“‘Understood.” Chen Chen nodded.
Then, as though he just thought of something, Ye Cheng suddenly said, “Miss Zhuang is a really quick learner. I’m going to give her some of the stocks in my hand next. She’s almost done with her training. When she’s done, I’ll let her deal with everything in this area.”
Chen Chen was shocked. “Young Master Cheng…”
Ye Cheng waved his hand. “Don’t worry. She’s my apprentice. I trust her completely. I’ll let her participate in more things in the future. She didn’t want to enter the entertainment industry, to begin with. When everything is settled, she’ll be able to make a perfect transition.”
Ye Cheng added inwardly, ‘She’ll make the perfect transition to Madam Ye…’
With this thought in mind, Ye Cheng could not hide the smile on his face at all.
Chen Chen hesitated, wondering if he should say something. He knew if he said anything about Zhuang Ning now, Ye Cheng would be displeased. However, Ye Cheng’s trust in Zhuang Ning had always made him feel uneasy.
…
The Yin family held a grand ceremony for their eldest young master to worship and acknowledge the ancestors in the biggest banquet hall in the city.
Most of the movers and shakers of S City were in attendance. Some of them who had dealings with the Mu Group were very surprised when they saw Cheng Che.
“President Cheng? You…”
Cheng Che only smiled and did not say anything. Instead, he looked at Old Master Yin.
Old Master Yin was in high spirits. He said, “That’s right. The President Cheng you know is my grandson. What do you think? My grandson is pretty good, right? I’m going to train him as the successor of the Yin family. After all, I plan to let him take up my mantle in the future.”
These words caused a stir among the guests. After that, they went forward to congratulate Old Master Yin and Cheng Che.
Cheng Che turned to look at Old Master Yin and said calmly, “Grandpa, as the saying goes, ‘One does not receive rewards without merits’. I’ve not made any contributions to the Yin family so I daren’t take up the position of the successor of the Yin family. Why don’t we wait a little longer before you make a decision? It’s not too late to discuss the matter of inheritance after I’ve made contributions and achieved something.”
Upon hearing these words, the guests around Old Master Yin sighed in envy and admiration.
“Old Yin, your grandson is really too sensible! Why are you so lucky? Why is God so kind to you?”
“That’s right, Old Yin. With a grandson like this, what more can a man ask for?”
“Old Yin, you finally have a successor. Not only is he a young talent, but he has a good reputation as well!”
