Chapter: 2986

He knew exactly what kind of person Ye Changmin was. If Ye Changmin had suffered a big loss at the hands of Charlie Wade, it showed that Charlie Wade was not someone to be taken lightly. He was definitely a tough opponent. If someone as strong as Ye Changmin couldn’t handle him, then he was a serious threat.

On the phone, Ye Changmin’s distress was clear. Zhong Zhengtao quickly asked, “Changmin, why didn’t you tell me this sooner?”

Ye Changmin sighed, feeling helpless. “What good would it do? I can’t even confront Charlie Wade myself. Should I send you to face him and get hurt?”

Feeling embarrassed, Zhong Zhengtao replied, “You… you are someone special to me. If you ask me to do something, I would go through anything for you!”

Ye Changmin smiled at his words. “I appreciate that, but I’m old enough to know who I can and cannot challenge.”

She paused for a moment, then continued, “I used to think like you. I thought Charlie Wade was just a member of the Ye family who had been away for years. When he came to a small place like Jinling, I thought he wouldn’t have much power. I expected him to show respect to someone like me, who has always been with the Ye family. But I was wrong. He doesn’t respect anyone.”

Then Ye Changmin added, “Not only is Charlie Wade strong and well-connected in Jinling, but he also has the support of the Gu family. Their backing is even more solid than my father’s.”

“Gu family?!” Zhong Zhengtao exclaimed in surprise.

Zhong Zhengtao suddenly asked, “Why is the Gu family supporting him so much?”

Ye Changmin replied, “Gu Yanzhong and my second brother are like brothers. They even had a marriage contract for their children years ago. Didn’t you know that?”

Zhong Zhengtao shrugged awkwardly, “That was over 20 years ago! How am I supposed to remember that clearly?”

Ye Changmin sighed, “You must have heard that Gu Yanzhong was seriously ill with pancreatic cancer not long ago?”

“I heard,” Zhong Zhengtao said. “They say it was pretty mysterious, right? It’s unbelievable!”

Ye Changmin nodded and said casually, “Charlie Wade cured him.”

“Charlie Wade?!” Zhong Zhengtao’s eyes widened in shock. “Isn’t pancreatic cancer known as the king of cancers? Even Steve Jobs couldn’t be cured. How did he do it? That just doesn’t make sense!”

Ye Changmin chuckled, “I’m not sure how he did it, but he did. Gu Yanzhong sees him as not just a lifesaver but also the best candidate for his daughter’s husband. Since Gu Yanzhong has only one daughter, whoever she marries will inherit his wealth. So, think about it—is it wise to cross Charlie Wade?”

Zhong Zhengtao finally understood.

He realized that Charlie Wade was connected to three powerful families: his own, the Ye family, and the Gu family. In this situation, provoking Charlie would be foolish. He felt a sinking feeling in his heart.

If things continued this way, there was little hope for his son.

Zhong Zhengtao felt a heavy weight in his heart, struggling with the thought of giving up. He turned to Ye Changmin and asked, “Changmin, can you help me?”

Ye Changmin replied, “Of course, just let me know what you need.”

Zhong Zhengtao took a deep breath and said, “Thank you for your support. Can you help me talk to Tianyu on the phone?”
