As they entered the hotel, the receptionist barely glanced at them, not even asking for identification, and simply gave the two of them a room with a large bed.
Originally, Xiao Jianren had wanted to get the presidential suite, but the receptionist responded with a "this person must be looking for trouble" expression, saying, "Sorry, we only have standard rooms and rooms with a large bed."
With no other choice, Xiao Jianren followed Ye Junwen to the room on the fifth floor.
Upon entering the room, although Xiao Jianren was quite disdainful, she still breathed a sigh of relief. The room wasn't as bad as she had imagined - it was small, but looked to have been recently renovated and was quite clean.
Xiao Jianren sat on the bed, glanced at the expressionless Ye Junwen, and asked with a shy look on her face, "Brother Junwen, should one of us go shower first, or should we shower together?"
Ye Junwen: ...As if you even need to ask!
"I'll be leaving soon," Ye Junwen said in a deep voice.
Xiao Jianren: "Ah? Brother Junwen, you're not staying here?"
Ye Junwen inwardly roared: Of course I'm not staying here! I have a perfectly good villa, why would I come to sleep in this rundown room? Am I crazy?
But outwardly he said, "You know my goal is to take down Ye Jinchen and gain control of Ye's Company. Naturally, I have to keep a close eye on Ye Jinchen at all times in the Ye family, otherwise one small slip could lead to my downfall."
Then he glanced at Xiao Jianren, who was sitting on a chair nearby, and said meaningfully, "You don't want me to fail, do you?"
His words struck a chord with Xiao Jianren. Of course she didn't want Ye Junwen to fail - she still needed to cling to Ye Junwen's coattails to gain control of Xiao's Company, and in the future she wanted to become Ye Junwen's wife, the matriarch of the entire Ye family. Whatever Ye Junwen said, she would wholeheartedly support.
Although disappointed, Xiao Jianren obediently nodded, "I understand."
Then she asked, "But how do you plan to take down Ye Jinchen?"
Ye Junwen's thoughts turned, and he suddenly had an idea.
"I want Ye Jinchen... dead!"
Xiao Jianren was taken aback. "Brother Junwen, you..." She hadn't expected Ye Junwen to want to directly kill Ye Jinchen. At most, she thought he would use underhanded tactics to force Ye Jinchen to leave Ye's Company, or even leave Hua Country.
But Ye Junwen paid no mind to what Xiao Jianren was thinking. Right now, he just wanted to get rid of this Ye Jinchen nuisance as soon as possible. After all, he was just deceiving Xiao Jianren into doing the dirty work. Even if something was discovered later, Xiao Jianren would take the fall. And if nothing was discovered, then Xiao Jianren would still be useful.
With this in mind, but outwardly still speaking gently, he explained, "Don't be afraid. You know Ye Jinchen is very capable - my abilities are not even half of his. Moreover, he has the support of my parents and older brother and sister-in-law. How can I possibly have a way to drive him out of Ye's Company?"
Then he snorted coldly, "Heh, so the only way for me to become the heir of Ye's Company, and indeed the only heir, is if he dies!"
Although Xiao Jianren felt that Ye Junwen was being crazy, she also had to admit that this was indeed the best and fastest way to gain control of Ye's Company.
If Ye Jinchen died, the Ye family would undoubtedly be thrown into chaos. The two elders might not even be able to withstand the shock and could directly ascend to the heavens. As for Ye Jinchen's parents, burying their own son, coupled with the possible situations involving the two elders, they would probably need a very long time to recover from their grief.
And that idiot Ye Jinmeng would definitely not be able to shoulder the enormous responsibility of Ye's Company, so Ye Junwen would be the only one able to smoothly take over Ye's Company and become its new master!
Thinking this way, excitement began to flash in Xiao Jianren's eyes. Ye Junwen saw all the changes in her expression, and inwardly sneered coldly. He took Xiao Jianren's hand, his voice unnaturally gentle.
"Jianren, so now I need your help. Right now, you're the only one who can help me."
Hearing Ye Junwen speak so gently, with a hint of pleading in his voice, Xiao Jianren was completely mesmerized, feeling as if she had truly become Ye Junwen's support.
She immediately grasped his hand in return. "Brother Junwen, if there's anything you need my help with, just say it. I'll do whatever I can to help you."
A calculating look flashed in Ye Junwen's eyes, but the entranced Xiao Jianren didn't notice. She only heard Ye Junwen say, "Jianren, the quickest way for something to happen to Ye Jinchen without arousing suspicion is only one thing."
"What?" Xiao Jianren asked, puzzled.
"A car accident!"
"So I need you to find someone for me, preferably a truck driver or tanker truck driver. Bribe them to cause a car accident. This way, it will most likely be classified as a traffic accident.
And even if Ye Jinchen is lucky enough not to die on the spot, being deliberately hit by a large vehicle like that, he would at least be seriously injured. With that, even just the time he spends recovering in the hospital will be enough - Ye's Company will eventually be mine!"
Xiao Jianren was stunned. Why did Ye Junwen want her to hire someone to deliberately cause an accident? If it was discovered, wouldn't she be the one to take the fall?
Ye Junwen knew what Xiao Jianren was worried about and immediately added, "Jianren, originally I didn't want to involve you in this, but ever since the last time I stole the company's official seal and signed a contract with Xiao's Company, and Ye Jinchen found out, although he didn't punish me, he has been wary of me and has people monitoring me at the company.
Ye Jinchen will find out immediately anyone I've contacted or anything I've done."
"But you're different. You were expelled from the Xiao family, and you're penniless. In the eyes of others, you must be struggling to survive in the short term, not doing things like hiring someone to commit murder. Even if you had a motive to kill, it should be to kill someone from the Xiao family, right?"
"Moreover, as long as we get that driver to drink a bit, any car accident that occurs will basically be classified as drunk driving, and there won't be any investigation into whether it was intentional murder. And the money to bribe the driver will come from me. Even if something is discovered, I'll be implicated no matter what."
Speaking of which, Ye Junwen even revealed a hint of helplessness on his face. "If I could, I really wouldn't want to involve you, but rest assured, I won't let you face this danger alone."
Ye Junwen's expression turned gentle. "If everything goes smoothly, we'll become the business leaders of Hua Country, an enviable pair of lovebirds. If not, I'll take full responsibility, and you can just claim you were coerced by me. You'll be able to walk away. I won't let you suffer in prison."
Already immersed in dreams of becoming a billionaire power couple, how could Xiao Jianren resist such a touching appeal? Her mind was immediately made up. Not only would she hire someone to deliberately cause an accident with Ye Jinchen, if asked, she would even go so far as to personally crash into him herself.
"I'll do it. Leave this matter to me!"
"Thank you, Jianren!" Ye Junwen hugged Xiao Jianren with a look of gratitude, but behind Xiao Jianren's back, that gratitude instantly turned into a triumphant smile.
Heh, Ye Jinchen, your good days are finally coming to an end!
