"Hmph, no matter what he becomes, in my eyes, he’s just trash, an ant!"
Xiao Yiyun let out a cold snort, his eyes flashing with disdain.
"It’s good to be confident, but judging by what this guy has been doing these days, his strength cannot be underestimated, and with Elder Master Xiao returning to the Xiao Family at this time, I’m afraid..."
Situ Yuntian’s words trailed off as his gaze shifted toward Xiao Yiyun.
"No matter what, he won’t be able to stir up much trouble."
Xiao Yifeng drained the red wine in his glass in one gulp.
"How about I send someone to test his strength? That way, knowing his capabilities, we can deal with him better."
Situ Yuntian suggested.
"No need, I’ll arrange it. This is an issue between him and me, I only hope he’s not too weak; otherwise, I might lose interest in taking him on!"
A cold glint shot from Xiao Yiyun’s eyes as a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
Tianhai, Ye Corporation.
As soon as Xiao Yifeng arrived at Ye Corporation, he noticed a crowd of journalists with cameras and microphones gathered at the entrance.
They had completely crowded the entrance, and Luo Yun, He Li, and a group of security guards were all blocking the door, preventing them from going inside.
"Damn, what’s all this about? Does it need to be so exaggerated?"
Xiao Yifeng muttered to himself as he walked straight through, waving his hands, and one by one, the journalists were thrown out, clearing a path.
Luo Yun called out as he saw Xiao Yifeng.
"What’s the deal with these people?"
Xiao Yifeng asked in confusion.
"They all want to interview the president about the new energy source."
"New energy? What’s that?"
Xiao Yifeng’s eyes narrowed slightly, a gleam flashing in them.
"This new energy is a source we’ve recently developed in our company, it’s said to be able to replace gasoline in cars, looks quite powerful. For the specifics, Mr. Xiao, you’d have to ask the president."
He Li explained to Xiao Yifeng.
Xiao Yifeng nodded and continued walking inside.
Soon, Xiao Yifeng arrived at Ye Yaxin’s office.
"Brother Xiao, good morning!"
Fang Siqi stood up and greeted Xiao Yifeng.
Xiao Yifeng replied and walked in through the door.
"Something on your mind?"
At that moment, Ye Yaxin was looking through a file and glanced at Xiao Yifeng.
"I heard that the Ye Family has developed a new type of energy, and now there’s a bunch of reporters outside the company."
Xiao Yifeng sat down opposite Ye Yaxin and started talking.
"Yes, it was a project I’ve had in the works for quite a while."
"It must have been something you and Lu Xueqing were working on together."
Xiao Yifeng suddenly said.
Surprise flashed through Ye Yaxin’s eyes.
Xiao Yifeng laughed. Previously, when Ye Yaxin asked him to deliver a file to Lu Xueqing, he had used his x-ray vision to see its contents about this new energy source. At that time, Xiao Yifeng was quite astonished and had not expected that they would actually succeed.
"You’re quite something to know even this."
Ye Yaxin remarked, "This new energy is actually the research of an energy professor I met while studying abroad. At that time, he lacked the funds and manpower support to complete the research successfully."
"Later, after I returned to the country, I brought him back. Once I took over the position of president of the Ye Corporation, Xueqing and I joined forces to launch this project. She recruited a team of specialists from Tianhai University to help the professor, and I injected a significant amount of capital for their research. Surprisingly, it was a success within a year."
Ye Yaxin spoke with an excitement that flickered in her eyes from time to time.
"You are indeed impressive, to have even developed such a novel energy source, but once it is truly developed, its value will be incalculable!"
Xiao Yifeng’s eyes sparkled with a sharp gleam.
"Exactly. With this new energy source, Ye Corporation will surely soar to new heights!"
Ye Yaxin said, her eyes also flashing with keen brilliance.
"Could you take me to see this new energy source?"
Then, the two left Ye Corporation and headed to the energy research base.
"We’re being followed!"
Halfway through the drive, Ye Luo suddenly said with a sharp focus in his eyes.
Ye Yaxin’s face changed slightly.
Xiao Yifeng floored the accelerator, and his BMW X5 instantly sped up and rocketed away, quickly leaving the car that was following them behind.
"Who could be following us?"
Ye Yaxin’s eyes were filled with bewilderment.
"I don’t know. Either they’re targeting me, or they’re targeting you," Xiao Yifeng said indifferently.
Ye Yaxin looked startled.
"Don’t you know? If the new energy source you have developed is real, then it will be an existence comparable to a nuclear weapon. Then, everyone’s eyes will be on you, and they will have only one goal: to take this new energy source for themselves," Xiao Yifeng said gravely.
Ye Yaxin’s eyes flickered, but she remained silent.
Half an hour later, Xiao Yifeng drove to the outskirts of the city and stopped outside a factory.
"Is your energy base here?"
Getting out of the car, Xiao Yifeng glanced around and said. Scanning the area with his x-ray vision, he discovered a huge research base beneath the factory, quite large in scale.
"That’s right, follow me!"
Ye Yaxin nodded and led Xiao Yifeng into the building.
As they entered the factory, several men in black suits bowed and greeted.
Ye Yaxin nodded and continued walking inside with Xiao Yifeng.
After passing through several doors that required fingerprint and iris verification, they finally entered the energy research base.
Inside, there was a group of men in white lab coats, busy researching something. The research base was large and entirely white, with a central pillar emitting purple light.
"That pillar contains the latest energy source we have developed. This energy is extremely potent, not only as a replacement for gasoline, which will make driving more convenient for the people, but it also has significant implications for other fields."
"Once we fully tap into its value, Ye Corporation will have no problem becoming a world-class corporation," Ye Yaxin said confidently.
"Then this new energy source is a veritable cash cow!" Xiao Yifeng commented lightly.
"Exactly, I’ve invested billions into this research base, and now it’s finally time to see the returns," Ye Yaxin said, nodding.
"However, my dear, I must remind you that while this new energy could be a cornucopia, it could also be a ticking time bomb. It can promote the development of the Ye Family, but it can also lead to the complete destruction of the Ye Family," Xiao Yifeng said, his face solemn as he looked at Ye Yaxin.
