Chapter 1007: There’s Something Else
Editor: Atlas Studios

On the way back, Ye Tang was distracted. Back then, after the car exploded, her father died before he could be sent to the hospital. Her mother was resuscitated for three days before she passed away. According to the subsequent investigation, the cause of the explosion was car combustion.

After so many years, she had never doubted this conclusion. Now, someone was telling her that there was something else going on back then. What should she do? Could it be that what happened back then was really man-made?

After Ye Tang returned home, she sat in the living room in a daze and did not move. She could not accept this.

At noon, Wen Ze returned from class. The moment he opened the door, he saw Ye Tang sitting on the sofa in a daze.

Wen Ze took off his Hong Kong jacket and walked towards Ye Tang. He hugged her from behind. “Ye Tang, are you in a bad mood?”

Ever since he got to know Ye Tang, in his eyes, Ye Tang had always been bright and ostentatious. There were very few times when she was low. Even when she was in trouble, she could face it with a smile.

Ye Tang: “Wen Ze, tell me, are you hiding anything from me?” Ye Tang knew that it was impossible for the Jiang family to have a marriage alliance with an ordinary family, so… Wen Ze’s identity was definitely not simple.

These words struck Wen Ze’s heart like a bolt of lightning, causing his eyes to panic for a moment. His body stiffened slightly, not knowing how to answer. Should he confess?

Back then, he hid his identity and entered university because he hoped to experience an ordinary life and live an ordinary life. He did not expect to fall in love with Ye Tang. He did not want to be separated from Ye Tang.

Moreover, Ye Tang always had Meng Bo by her side. That person was regarded as Wen Ze’s greatest competitor. Sometimes, Wen Ze would also think: What exactly does Ye Tang like about me? Other than this face and the soft personality he created, he didn’t have any speciality.

If Ye Tang knew his identity and the ruthless things he had done in the past, would Ye Tang still treat him like how she did now? Wen Ze hesitated.

Ye Tang turned around and looked into Wen Ze’s eyes. “You know that I don’t like to be deceived, let alone by the people closest to me.” Her world was clear.

After a moment, Wen Ze was defeated. He said with a sad gaze, “You’re right. I’m not a child from an ordinary family. I’m the successor of the Wen family in the black market.” He knew that he could not lie to Ye Tang for the rest of his life. Sooner or later, he would have to face the current situation.

But… this situation had come too quickly, and Wen Ze was completely unprepared.

Ye Tang looked at his fair forehead and stood up abruptly. She asked in surprise, “The Wen family? You’re from the Wen family of the black market…”

The Wen family of the black market was known as a family in the dark night. The Wen family’s activities were all held at night, such as casinos, underworld, chess cards, karaoke… This kind of business in the dark night was bloody and violent. If one was not ruthless, they would not be able to continue operating.

Therefore, the people in the upper circle respected and feared the Wen family. They did not want to interact with the Wen family, but they were afraid of being hated by the Wen family.

Wen Ze said, “I don’t want you to know. If possible, I want to hide it for the rest of my life.”

The Wen family was a wolf’s den. He could barely survive if he entered by himself. Now that he had Ye Tang, he had a weakness. That would put Ye Tang in danger.

Tears streamed down Ye Tang’s face as she wrapped her arms around the man’s waist. “Don’t you know that honesty is the first step for lovers?” She didn’t want to be deceived. Unfortunately, she didn’t want to be separated from Wen Ze anymore.

Even if she had to face all kinds of things in the future, she had to stand on Wen Ze’s side. Moreover, she still had the Ye Corporation. The combined strength of the two large families was definitely not weak.

Wen Ze wrapped her in his arms. “Ye Tang, there are many reasons why I’m unwilling to tell you. I don’t want to see fear and disgust in your eyes. At the same time, I’m afraid that if you know about my past, you’ll have a bad impression of me.” He was sincere towards Ye Tang.

Ye Tang said, “Let’s not talk about this first. Uncle Jiang Jian is your savior, and Jiang Qing is his daughter. Your mother wants to matchmake you and Jiang Qing? You two are still engaged?” Thinking of this, Ye Tang was angry. She reached out to twist Wen Ze’s arm.

“Ouch, it hurts…” Wen Ze pretended to be in pain and frowned slightly. “How did you know?” Did something happen?

“I met them today,” Ye Tang said.

Wen Ze’s heart sank slightly. He asked nervously, “What else did they say to you?”

Ye Tang: “Uncle Jiang said that my parents’ car accident back then wasn’t an accident. It was man-made. They want to make a deal with me.” Her eyes were bright as she looked at Wen Ze.

Wen Ze asked nervously, “What deal?”
