29: Chapter 29 [The First Bully] 29: Chapter 29 [The First Bully] In an underground room in Capital City, the bodies of Chen Hu and his three subordinates were neatly arranged on the open floor of the room. A thin man wearing gold-rimmed glasses sat on the sofa in the room, his face grim as he looked at the four corpses before him. This skinny man with the gold-rimmed glasses was none other than Li Tie, the head of Capital City’s underworld, who had strong ties with many on the legitimate side. Chen Hu was an underling of Li Tie’s, and just a short while ago, Li Tie’s men had found the bodies of Chen Hu and his three capable subordinates and brought them here. “Are you sure that Chen Hu’s death was the doing of Ye Tianchen from the Ye family?” Li Tie asked with a hint of anger in his tone. “Yes, Brother Li, after finding the bodies of Chen Hu and the others, we began an investigation. We learned that Chen Hu’s son, Chen Hao, kidnapped the sister of Ye Tianchen. Chen Hao died this afternoon in an abandoned factory on the outskirts, and Chen Hu died in the evening…” a subordinate reported. Li Tie furrowed his brows, the events of these past few days had puzzled him, and he was starting to feel restless. The Qin family had asked him to provoke the Ye family and even to wipe them out. Initially, Li Tie thought it would be an easy task, since the Ye family was in decline and the old man of the Ye family had long since relinquished power. In this place, Capital City, teeming with hidden dragons and crouching tigers, a third-class family wouldn’t attract much attention. So, at the beginning, Li Tie sent two assassins to the villa where Ye Tianchen lived, intending to kidnap Ye Tianchen’s mother and sister to threaten his father, Ye Hong, not to seek a promotion. Unexpectedly, the two skilled assassins never returned, and there has been no news of them to this day. Li Tie had also sent people to trouble Hu Long, who was unwilling to kill Ye Hong. Hu Long should have been a dead man, but he was saved by an unknown young man. Now, Chen Hu was dead too. All these signs indicated that ever since Ye Tianchen of the Ye family returned, many things had become uncontrollable, leaving Li Tie in the dark. “Could it really be Ye Tianchen who did this?” Li Tie muttered to himself. “Brother Li, it’s very likely. Ever since Ye Tianchen returned, he swiftly broke off an engagement with the Qi family. Then, he beat Luo Lei and Luo Tao of the Luo family severely, and even Luo Songcheng, who always defends his own, could only swallow his anger. It seems this kid is not as simple as we thought.” “Humph, I don’t care whether he’s simple or not. The higher-ups have long ordered me to take out the Ye family. It’s just that I, Li Tie, have been too busy to make a move. Since Ye Tianchen dares to kill my men, he can’t blame me for what’s coming,” Li Tie said with a sneer curling at his lips. “So what do we do now, big brother?” a muscular man asked. “Report to the police!” Li Tie said sternly. Hearing Li Tie’s words, the subordinates were somewhat stunned and looked uneasy. They were all men of the underworld, accustomed to taking care of their own business. Reporting to the police, if word got out, they feared they would become a joke among their peers. So, they didn’t understand why Li Tie would do such a thing. Wasn’t this destroying their prestige and providing others with fodder for ridicule? A true underworld force would seek revenge for their fallen members, not report to the police. It indeed seemed laughable, but Li Tie didn’t see it that way; he had his own plan. “Big brother, this…” “No need to dwell on it, just report to the police. Let them investigate, and I’ll await the outcome,” Li Tie said with seriousness. “Yes, should we report to the higher-ups as well?” The “higher-ups” naturally referred to the Qin family. Li Tie’s position as the boss of Capital City’s underworld couldn’t have been achieved without the Qin family’s covert support. Over the years, Li Tie too had done many things for the Qin family. In plain terms, Li Tie’s immediate superior was the Qin family, and he had to report everything to them. “No need, keep this matter hidden for now,” Li Tie said after some thought. “What if the Qin family inquiries about dealing with the Ye family?” “Just say I’m sick, seriously ill, and temporarily incapacitated,” Li Tie replied. “Understood!” Watching his subordinates go off to carry out his orders, Li Tie snapped his fingers. A seductive and voluptuous woman emerged from a side room, smiling as she sat down on Li Tie’s lap, while he began to freely touch her. “Why don’t you just send someone to wipe out the Ye family instead of going to the police? This kind of move makes you look bad, it’s not your style,” the woman said. The seductive woman parted her red lips and asked. “Xiao Qing, you do understand me, but there are some things you just won’t grasp,” Li Tie said with a smile. Xiao Qing was Li Tie’s mistress, a very clever woman. seaʀᴄh thё Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. She had followed Li Tie for a year, and they were inseparable, banging every single day, which clearly showed Li Tie’s fondness for this lover. The former Li Tie would change women every few days, but Xiao Qing had been with him for a year without being killed, indicating this woman’s cleverness went far beyond simply being great in bed. “Then will you tell me, so I can learn more and help you out in the future?” Xiao Qing kissed Li Tie’s forehead and asked. Li Tie smiled slightly, pinching Xiao Qing’s chest with his left hand, causing her to let out a sultry, soul-thralling moan, then he began to speak: “The events of these past few days have been somewhat odd, and I’ve heard about Ye Tianchen’s affair as well. No matter if that guy is truly a wastrel or has been pretending for twenty years, we should be extremely cautious. I don’t want to be somebody else’s scapegoat, a sacrificial lamb.” “Are you suggesting that Ye Tianchen’s return has already changed the status quo of the Ye family, and that it won’t be so easy to deal with the Ye family anymore?” Xiao Qing astutely asked. “Exactly. Previously, the Ye family had no pillar of support, but now the Ye family might change because of Ye Tianchen. My standing, Li Tie, isn’t very high and can’t compare to some big shots, but I have faith in my judgment. Just from the fact that Ye Tianchen dared to barge into Heaven and Earth and beat up Luo Lei shows that he’s no longer the Ye Tianchen of the past. Taking on the Ye family will definitely not be simple,” Li Tie nodded and said. Actually, the reason Li Tie had his men report to the police and get the authorities involved in investigating Chen Hu’s death was to gauge Ye Tianchen’s influence through the police. He wanted to see whether Ye Tianchen really had become powerful or if he was just posing. And if the police could really take care of Ye Tianchen, then Li Tie wouldn’t have to take the risk. Li Tie, who had become the boss of the Capital City underworld, was certainly not a fool. The key was that he was always very careful. Capital City was a huge melting pot full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. A single slip could lead to calculations by others, dying without even knowing how. Now that Ye Tianchen had become unpredictable, acting rashly could end up with a fate similar to Chen Hu’s. So Li Tie wouldn’t gamble with his own life, nor would he willingly be a stepping stone for the Qin family. “I’ve also heard about Ye Tianchen’s situation. Do you think he really has been playing dumb and acting like a wastrel for twenty years, or did he suddenly experience a massive unleashing of potential?” Xiao Qing couldn’t help but ask. “No matter what, we can’t make a move against the Ye family until we’ve dealt with Ye Tianchen, and Luo Songcheng is known to be fiercely protective. I believe he is only biding his time for the moment and won’t let things go!” Li Tie said with a sinister smile. It goes without saying that Li Tie, who had become a leader in the Capital City underworld, had his own way of doing things and was quite cunning. Every action he took made others the cannon fodder to scout ahead for him, while he waited to swoop in like a predator at the rear. But now he had encountered Ye Tianchen, could Li Tie still play his games? “I heard that the Luo family has mobilized Wuxue to take out Ye Tianchen in secret!” Xiao Qing said. “Hmm? How do you know this?” Li Tie suddenly looked puzzled, eying his mistress with suspicion. He found that sometimes, this woman had more informed sources than he did, and something about it didn’t sit right with him. Seeing the change in Li Tie’s expression, Xiao Qing was also startled, but then she quickly laughed and said: “The matter of Ye Tianchen and the Luo family is known to everyone in Capital City by now. Everyone knows how protective Luo Songcheng is; he’s bound to take action. A lot of people are out to watch this drama unfurl, so any move the Luo family makes is bound to be noticed!” Li Tie frowned, glanced at his mistress, felt some moistness on his right hand that unsettled his mind, and then he spoke with lewd laughter: “It seems my decision was correct. The Luo family’s power is greater than the Ye family’s in itself, and Luo Songcheng always has been very dominant and protective. He dares not act openly but has to resort to hiring Wuxue to move in the shadows. This highlights the issue even more—we cannot underestimate Ye Tianchen anymore! “But what I’m wondering is, can Wuxue kill Ye Tianchen? There are rumors that Ye Tianchen has become very powerful,” Xiao Qing said. “That remains to be seen. Wuxue is considered the number one Assassin in Capital City, inheritor of the Ancient Martial Sect’s Absolute Skills. In terms of ability, it’s probably hard to find anyone who can match him in combat. As far as I know, Wuxue has been victorious with every move he’s made over the years; nobody has escaped his blade. Even if Ye Tianchen is as formidable as claimed, I don’t think he’s a match for Wuxue,” Li Tie said with a laugh. “I hope Wuxue can take out Ye Tianchen. That way, you’ll have a lot less trouble,” Xiao Qing said, laughing along. “Let’s not worry about these things for now. Anyway, I won’t make a move without figuring out Ye Tianchen’s true capability. Come on, let’s get down to real business!” With that, Li Tie picked up Xiao Qing and walked into the room next door, where they began their intimate encounter.
