One Word Changed, Characters in Chaos

Yue Heng had tried his best to pull strings up and down, but the issue had become too big, and one of the parties involved was the recently crowned champion, TC Club.

No one would offend the first triple crown dynasty in the league’s history just for the sake of a Yue Heng.

Moreover, what TC required was not special treatment, but justice.

The things that Yue Heng had done were not easy to find evidence for, but then Su Fan came forward.

He handed over a large amount of chat records, along with records of the money transfers through which Yue Heng had bribed him.

These records became the ironclad evidence.

Yue Heng had always believed that he and Su Fan were in the same boat, and no one would be so foolish as to jeopardize their own future to accuse him.

Before.

Su Fan had done wrong, but this time, he chose to be foolish just this once.

In the end, the results of the investigation came out.

Su Fan was fined and banned for life from the sport.

Just as he had guessed, from that moment on, he could no longer work in this field.

The current batch of players from Tianxing Club was also banned for three years.

How many years does a professional player have at their peak? Once these three years were over, their prime time would have passed, too.

The players of Tianxing, despite their substantial skills, had taken a wrong turn under Yue Heng’s instigation due to a moment of poor judgment. And now, they could only bear the consequences of their mistakes.

The punishment for Yue Heng was the most severe.

He was fined and permanently prohibited from operating a club.

If Tianxing Club was still registered in Yue Heng’s name, then the club would be forever barred from the league.

Being unable to compete in the league meant they could no longer earn any profits.

The path of Ye Heng, the esports entertainment club owner, was now thoroughly blocked.

All of his investments had gone to waste, and on top of that, there was a hefty fine.

Yue Heng could only look everywhere for someone to take over Tianxing.

But with the club’s reputation so tarnished and all the main players banned, even if someone were to buy it, they would have to change the name and start over from scratch.

How was that any different from buying a new club?

The price of Tianxing Club was forced down again and again until Yue Heng, with no other choice, sold it at a very cheap price.

And he had successfully exhausted the funds given by his family and even incurred a significant loss.

On the day the club changed hands, Yue Heng simply packed up a few belongings and left the place dejectedly with Tong Simeng.

Tong Simeng looked at Yue Heng timidly, “Yue Heng, where do we go now?”

Yue Heng looked at Tong Simeng, his expression darkened.

During this period, as he was busy dealing with various matters, Tong Simeng stayed by his side, being extremely careful, and naturally did not get into trouble as before.

Which shows, she could actually be a normal person.

“Yue Heng, I’m scared,” Tong Simeng said, her voice trembling slightly.

Yue Heng sighed deeply, his heart softened after all.

He, in fact.

Still liked Tong Simeng.

The way she was before.

She lived so unrestrainedly, her whole being exuded an infectious warmth.

But now.

After so much had happened, the old Tong Simeng could no longer be found.

She had become timid, cautious, and began to watch her words and actions around him.

Yue Heng still felt a twinge of heartache.

He pursed his lips, “I’ve sold off most of my assets; now, the only thing I have left is a villa. We can move there. There’s not much money left, but with my abilities, I can still make a comeback.”

From the sound of it, Yue Heng didn’t seem to intend on abandoning her.

Tong Simeng’s eyes gradually brightened, and they were vaguely moist, “I thought…”

Yue Heng let out a sigh and embraced her, “How could I? You’ve always been the person I loved the most.”

Only then did Tong Simeng happily nod her head.

Yue Heng was actually confident.

He had failed this time.

He had lost to Ye Zhaoyu.

But what of it?

He still had his parents!

And the Yue Family!

If he couldn’t make a name for himself, he could always go back and take over the family business.

He knew his parents didn’t like Tong Simeng.

But.

What could they really do about it?

They had only one son!

Even if they were angry with him for a while, could they possibly give the vast family fortune to someone else?

So, Yue Heng wasn’t worried at all.

In the current plot.

Yue Heng’s parents were indeed furious to the point of half-death.

“I told you this good-for-nothing had a problem with how he does things! Just look what he’s gotten himself into! If you want to run a club, why can’t you do it properly? Why resort to such low tactics? In all these years, the Yue Family has never produced such a person! If he takes over the business, our decades of good reputation will be destroyed!” Yue Heng’s father fumed, puffing his beard and glaring with rage.

He had started his business quite early, mainly working in the food industry. In this line of work, reputation is of the utmost importance.

He had also always kept a firm grip on quality control; the Yue’s quality control systems had always been top-notch.

Their good reputation, painstakingly built up over decades, was put at risk after Yue Heng was denounced for unscrupulous competition, with public opinion even subtly linking the incident to the Yue Corporation.

People began to feel that, with such an heir, the Yue Corporation was no longer trustworthy.

Just over the past few days, the Yue Corporation’s stock had been falling!

Yue Heng’s father was furiously inconsolable, making several calls to Yue Heng, telling him to break up with Tong Simeng and come home to start from the factory floor, to try and turn over a new leaf and rebuild their reputation.

But Yue Heng?

For each word he said, Yue Heng would retort with three.

In Yue Heng’s own words.

He lost this time because his methods weren’t cunning enough, even saying that it’s a case of the victor being king; Ye Zhaoyu was no better himself.

Breaking up with Tong Simeng? That was even more impossible!

He was a free man and absolutely would not be controlled by his family.

Start from the bottom?

He would never do such an embarrassing thing.

That Ye Bolin of the Ye Family started off as a general manager, so he should go to the factory? He couldn’t afford to lose that much face.

Yue Heng’s father was so angry he nearly fell ill.

Did he really have the guts to compare with Ye Bolin?

Ye Bolin started as a general manager, but he had also spent several years earnestly learning by Ye Mingcheng’s side. Only when Ye Mingcheng felt that Ye Bolin could stand on his own did he step aside.

And his own son?

He was nothing but an arrogant underachiever, infuriating beyond belief.

Yue Heng’s father even felt that Yue Heng’s insistence on being with Tong Simeng was partly because he had feelings for her, but more so, he probably just wanted to rebel against the family!

He thought that because he was their only son, he could act with impunity.

Yue Heng’s mother couldn’t help but sigh as well, “Old man, don’t be so angry. After all, he’s our child.”

Yue Heng’s father said with fury, “Our child or not, so what? Looking at him like that, I think I should start planning ahead!”

Yue Heng’s mother had a thought, equally disappointed in their son, she suggested, “Why don’t we see if it’s still possible to have another child?”

These years, the more Yue Heng acted recklessly, the stronger her desire to have another child had become, and now she couldn’t help but bring it up.

Yue Heng’s father was startled for a moment, “We’re quite old now; it’s a bit too dangerous for you to have children at this age.”

“What’s there to fear with the best doctors,” Yue Heng’s mother insisted firmly.

This son had disappointed her so sharply. She needed a new focus for her spirit, or else she would be angered to death.

Unable to argue with his wife, Yue Heng’s father was forcefully dragged to the hospital.

Both of them underwent a full set of medical examinations.

Ye Xiao watched the unfolding of these events with some amusement.

Yue Heng really was something else, driving his own parents to the point of considering a second child.

But.

Ye Xiao pondered a moment.

Suddenly feeling… if the Yue parents could indeed have a second child, wouldn’t that be quite good?
