Great Power Reclamation

Or rather, Ye Wancheng was a simple person from beginning to end. He never had many crooked thoughts in his actions and was a person of principle. Even when he was a city official, the old lady Meihua never saw a penny of his salary.

Ye Ling is the same; morally speaking, she is a disgraceful mistress, and Mei Hua and Ye Wancheng divorced her.

Despite following Ye Wancheng for so many years, Ye Wancheng has never spent a single penny on her. In fact, Ye Ling has even subsidized Ye Wancheng financially.

The fact that we live such a wealthy life now has nothing to do with Ye Wancheng; it's all thanks to Ye Yuze.

Everything Ye Ling has was actually given to her by Ye Yuze.

Although Ye Ling was a stain on Ye Wancheng's life, no one in the entire Junken City talked about it.

Because Ye Wancheng is a person who does not covet power or seek personal gain, and he does whatever job he does wholeheartedly.

Such a person basically has no political enemies; even if there are people with ulterior motives, they cannot find an excuse to attack him.

Wang Lina lay on the hospital bed, feeling somewhat disheartened. She had worked hard for the Warriors Group for decades, but Ye Feng hadn't shown her any respect over such a trivial matter.

She understood that Ye Feng wasn't actually targeting her, but she still had her pride, you know.
Having been powerful for so many years, she fears no one except Ye Yuze. In fact, she doesn't fear Ye Yuze, but rather admires him wholeheartedly.

That man was like a magician, leading the warrior group to create one miracle after another.

Although Ye Feng is capable and his achievements are no less than his father's, people always have a certain mentality, especially towards younger generations.

That means your father can scold me, but you can't, even if I'm wrong.

Wang Lina was actually caught in this emotional turmoil, unable to extricate herself. She believed that she had worked diligently for the Warrior Group and that her contributions to the group were definitely among the top.

But she couldn't accept Ye Feng's disrespect towards her.

Yu Lan sat by the bedside. Wei Xiang was at work and couldn't come to stay with her. Yu Lan, the mother-in-law, could only stay here.

In truth, Yu Lan and Wang Lina disliked each other, after all, they were former best friends. Now that they were mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Yu Lan simply couldn't accept it.

A daughter-in-law who was twenty years older than her son made her too ashamed to face the people of Junken Town.

But what could she do? Her son was willing, and there was nothing she could do about it. She could only grit her teeth and accept it.

Later on, she helped take care of the children. Although none of the three children were related to her, she developed feelings for them over time.

Yu Lan was not a lucky woman. She married Wei Yuxiang at a very young age and suffered a lifetime of hardship.

Because Wei Yuxiang's parents died early, she helped raise her younger siblings until they all got married and established their own careers, and only then did she raise her own children.

The key point is that everyone thought Wei Yuxiang was a well-known wealthy man in the warrior group, but only she knew that her foolish man had given all the money that was rightfully his back into the company.

All she could get was Wei Yuxiang's salary, which, although seven figures a year, was only considered upper-middle class in the military reclamation city.

Moreover, Wei Yuxiang rarely went home, leaving all the burdens on her shoulders.

She even fell out with Wei Yuxiang over the issue of Warrior Steel. She didn't think she was wrong. Why should she? Everyone knows that Warrior Steel was built up little by little by her man.
As a result, a single share swap took away all the hard work the man had accumulated over half a lifetime.

Although we didn't lose money, can the shares of a real estate company compare to those of a steel company?
She had so much grievance, but she didn't know who to talk to.

Now that Wang Lina, the daughter-in-law, has finally gotten pregnant, she's been angered by Ye Yuze's eldest son. She's furious; if Ye Yuze weren't in the US, she would definitely go and demand an explanation.

Others might be afraid of Ye Yuze, but she wasn't, after all, they had grown up together since childhood.

Seeing Wang Lina so depressed, all she could do was offer words of comfort:
"Okay, don't be angry. If you're unhappy at work, just quit. You're of retirement age anyway, and your family isn't short of money."

Her mother-in-law's words touched Wang Lina. Perhaps it really was time to retire gracefully, since the world is a place where new people replace the old.

In fact, she already had a successor in mind, namely Wang Nannan. This girl has strong professional knowledge and management skills.

In particular, even after Ning Ken was murdered, he still went to Europe and completed the work that Ning Ken was unable to finish.

Now she is Wang Lina's deputy, and she works like a workaholic all day long. Wang Lina has tried to persuade her a lot, but it's no use.

She was too deeply in love with Ning Ken to get over it anytime soon.

Yu Lan's words today touched Wang Lina. As an older mother, she really needs to take care of her health, and she may not be able to work for several months. It seems that she really needs to start giving Wang Nannan more responsibility from now on...

The little cripple came to Sasha's house with some fruit.

Sasha's mother asked him to call Ye Yuze, and he did call, but Ye Yuze told him to contact Ye Feng instead.

Xiao Guai Zi understood Ye Yuze's meaning; the Warrior Group had already been handed over to Ye Feng, and it was inconvenient for him to interfere.

Xiao Guai Zi understood that Ye Yu Ze was right. Now that his son was the second-in-command of the Corps, he had never asked his son to do anything.

He understood that his son was under more pressure than he was, and that not troubling him was the greatest support he could give his son.

He made the call about Sasha's family situation reluctantly, since Sasha's father was his childhood friend. They had been very close friends since they were little.

He had given him steamed buns when he was hungry, so he couldn't bear to see his old friend go to jail for this.

However, he couldn't really talk to Ye Feng, so he could only feel ashamed and come to Sasha's house to comfort her.

When I arrived at Sasha's house, I was surprised to find that Sasha's father had returned.

The two met, both deeply moved. But they didn't say much. What else could they possibly say?

Sasha's family is in a bit of a mess right now. The main problem is that Sasha found out she's pregnant, but she refuses to have an abortion and insists on giving birth. I don't know who she's up to.
The key point is that Zhang Hengming clearly loves Sasha. He's still at the hospital watching over her now, so what she's doing is pointless.

Besides, Sasha isn't unable to get married. She can just abort the child and find a new boyfriend.

At the California farm, Yang Geyong started rolling a cigarette again and casually asked, "You really don't care about what Little Guaizi said?"

Ye Yuze shook his head: "Leave it to Ye Feng. Let him handle it himself. People have to be responsible for their own actions, including the two of us."

After taking a drag of his cigarette, Ye Yuze said another sentence:
"He won't actually be sentenced."

Yang Geyong was astonished: "How did you know? It's already been classified as assault."

Ye Yuze gave a wry smile: "Because our parents are still alive, they are protective of their children."

Yang Geyong also shook his head with a smile, as if it really was true...

Zhang Heng stayed by Aisha's bedside, holding her hand. The pungent smell of disinfectant made his stomach churn.

Amid the regular beeping of the monitor, he recalled that rainy night three days ago—when Sasha's father rushed into the ward wielding a stick, and Aisha shielded him from the blow.

Looking at Aisha's pale face, his throat tightened, as if a knife was tearing at his conscience. "Brother Zhang, Sister Sasha said she's pregnant," Gulizar's voice came from behind, cautiously probing.

She was the one who initiated this whole thing, and now that it turned out this way, she felt incredibly guilty.

Zhang Heng froze, his fingers unconsciously tightening. Aisha gave a soft groan, and he hurriedly released them.

The California sun outside the window was blindingly bright, but he only felt cold all over.

The news of Sasha's pregnancy hit him like a bomb, filling him with guilt and panic.

He never intended to hurt anyone, yet he unknowingly caused two women to suffer greatly.

Late at night, the lights in the hospital corridor cast long shadows at his feet.

Zhang Heng leaned against the fire hydrant, took out his phone, and then put it down again.

He recalled that six months ago, Sasha stood at the company entrance wearing a floral dress, her eyes sparkling, and said, "Let me wash your blankets for you."

At that time, he only saw her as a warm-hearted younger sister.

When Aisha first brought him homemade naan bread, the flour residue on her fingertips fell into his palm, warm and soft.

Two very different girls are now both plunged into despair because of him.

“Escaping the problem won’t solve it.”

Ye Feng's words suddenly rang in his ears. Zhang Heng looked up abruptly and realized that he had unknowingly walked to the hospital rooftop.

The night breeze carried the scent of grass from the distant farm as he gazed at the brightly lit city and suddenly realized that he had been running away all along.

From his vague response when he discovered Sasha's feelings to his guilt after Aisha was attacked, he never truly confronted this complicated relationship.

Looking at Ye Feng, who was only a few years older than him, Zhang Heng didn't dare to raise his head. He was a man who hadn't committed any crimes, but in fact, his sins were heavier than anyone else's.

Ye Feng talked to him for a long time, without lecturing him, but just talking about the company, the development of new energy, and the current situation of the company.

Zhang Heng's mindset gradually changed; it seemed that his love for Ye Feng was fading, and he wanted to follow CEO Ye Feng through thick and thin...

The next day, Zhang Heng made a decision. He first went to the police station to inquire and learned that Sasha's father had been released on bail pending trial, which relieved him somewhat.

Then he came back and discussed with Aisha that they would not file a lawsuit, since the matter was caused by him and everyone else was innocent.

Zhang Heng took out a card, which contained the prize money he had won.

"Aisha, this is compensation from Sasha's family for this matter."

Aisha hesitated for a moment, looking at Zhang Heng with some uncertainty.

Zhang Heng held her hand: "Please, Aisha, let's not pursue this anymore. Can we just say it was an accident?"

Seeing Zhang Heng's pleading eyes, Aisha finally nodded, but she was still unwilling because Aisha was pregnant. Would Zhang Heng completely ignore her from now on?

Zhang Heng arrived at Sasha's house with a carefully prepared gift.

Pushing open the door, I saw Sasha's pale face and flat stomach, and all the words I had prepared got stuck in my throat.

“Go away.” Sasha turned her head away, her voice hoarse. “I don’t need your pity.”

"It's not pity."

Zhang Heng took a deep breath and sat down opposite her. "It's an apology. I was too selfish. I was afraid to face your feelings, which made things so bad."

He pulled a bank card from his pocket: "This is for child support. I will send money regularly. But I hope you will carefully consider your decision to keep the child, not out of spite, but because you are truly prepared."

Sasha suddenly broke down in tears, pounding her fist on his shoulder, trembling: "Why didn't you say so sooner! Why did you give me hope only to extinguish it with your own hands?"

Zhang Heng let her vent until she cried herself to sleep and collapsed on the sofa. He said softly:
“I will take good care of you and the child, but feelings can’t be forced. I don’t want to trap myself with responsibility; you deserve better.”

After dealing with Sasha's matter, Zhang Heng found Aisha. Her injuries had healed, and he wanted to take her to her home.

He knelt on the grassland outside the yurt, his forehead pressed against the cold earth:
"Uncle and Aunt, it's my fault for not protecting Aisha. I'm willing to spend my whole life making it up to you, as long as you're willing."

The elderly couple remained silent for a long time before finally sighing and helping him up.

They were unwilling for their daughter to marry far away, especially abroad, but when they saw the determination in her eyes and the affectionate look in her eyes as she gazed at the man, they compromised.

Aisha looked at the dark circles under Zhang Heng's eyes and asked softly, "Is everything taken care of?"

Zhang Heng nodded, took her hand and pressed it against his face: "I will no longer run away from it. No matter what happens, we will face it together."

Outside the window, the setting sun dyed the clouds blood red, just like his determination for rebirth.

Two weeks later, Sasha's father was exempted from criminal prosecution due to the minor nature of the offense.

Zhang Heng had a drink with him once, and also invited his old comrade-in-arms.

That time, everyone drank too much, and Zhang Heng even got beaten up, but he felt completely satisfied.

Sasha ultimately chose to leave the military reclamation town and go to Europe to develop her career. Before leaving, she said to Zhang Heng at the airport:
Thank you for teaching me that love is not about possession, but about letting go.

As the plane soared into the sky, Zhang Heng turned around and hugged Aisha behind him.

In the distance, Ye Feng stood on an off-road vehicle and nodded to him. Sunlight shone on the Warrior Group's brand-new solar panels, reflecting a dazzling light.

Zhang Heng knew that this incident had completely transformed him—true maturity is not about never making mistakes, but about daring to face them and using responsibility to heal wounds.

Zhang Heng's wedding was very simple; he just invited a few classmates for a meal, and the only person with any status was Wang Nannan.

Wang Nannan admires Zhang Heng, but of course, she still has some reservations about his character, after all, she is a very affectionate person.

Unexpectedly, Ye Feng arrived just as the banquet began. However, he did not drink any alcohol, but instead gave a gift and left, as he needed to rush back to the United States that very night.

Zhang Heng's classmates are all key members of Warrior New Energy, engaged in research and development. As the wine flowed freely, they talked about the company's development and future direction, and they all became excited.

Wang Nannan hugged Aisha tenderly and whispered:

"These men will work day and night once they start, so be prepared, okay?"

Aisha nodded firmly: "I will arrange everything at home." (End of Chapter)
