Chapter 48 - 48 48 Murder Leaves a Mark!

48: Chapter 48: Murder Leaves a Mark! 48: Chapter 48: Murder Leaves a Mark! Last night, after Ye Tianchen had killed Li Tie and his group, he went to an outside barbeque stall with Hu Long, ate some barbecue, drank a bit of beer, and came back feeling still a little hungry, so he cleaned out all the lobsters and abalones that Qi Ruxue had in the fridge. Ye Tianchen yawned as he opened the bedroom door, wearing shorts and a tank top as he came out, and as soon as he went downstairs, he saw Qi Ruxue’s cute little face rise in anger, glaring at him fiercely, like a mother tiger, albeit a beautiful one. “Ye Tianchen, you thief, tell me, was it you who stole my lobsters and abalones?” Qi Ruxue glared at Ye Tianchen with furious eyes. “I don’t think so, I went to sleep as soon as I came back last night, when would I have had the time to eat such junk food!” Ye Tianchen gave Qi Ruxue a look of disdain. Seeing Ye Tianchen would not admit it and was making his way to the bathroom, Qi Ruxue was seething with rage, so much so she nearly wanted to bite him with her small tiger teeth. She quickly followed and disdainfully said, “If not you, then who could have stolen them? Aunt and your sister wouldn’t do such a thing; it was definitely you. You’re disgusting, saying you wouldn’t eat what others made, sneaking around eating in the middle of the night!” “Who stole them? Even if I say I didn’t steal them, if I ate them, I did so openly and without shame. Don’t forget, this is my house, not yours. Weren’t you planning to leave? Why haven’t you gone yet? Until when do you plan to stay?” Ye Tianchen looked at Qi Ruxue, speechless. Hearing Ye Tianchen’s words, Qi Ruxue felt deeply hurt. If she were not fighting for her freedom and happiness, why would she cling to the Ye family without leaving? After all, she, Qi Ruxue, was also a rich young lady, with a reputation on par with Liu Rumei, the number one beauty in Capital City. Did she really seem like someone who would cling to Ye Tianchen? Thinking this, Qi Ruxue really wanted to leave the Ye family immediately, but seeing Ye Tianchen’s smug look, as if he was intent on driving her out, making her storm off, she couldn’t help but reveal a sly smile on her originally angry face. No one had ever dared to treat her, Qi Ruxue, like this, no man had ever disregarded her to this extent, which made Qi Ruxue secretly swear to herself: Ye Tianchen, you clueless fellow, completely ignorant about how to cherish and be gentle with women, fine, I will make you fall for this young lady first and then dump you, so you will know how formidable I am! “Hmph, it’s none of your business when I leave. I will stay as long as I want!” Qi Ruxue looked at Ye Tianchen with a scornful glance, the corner of her mouth carrying a provocative smile. “Seriously? You really think of this place as your own home? Remember, this is my house, not yours!” Ye Tianchen was genuinely impressed by Qi Ruxue’s thick skin—it seemed impossible to drive her away! “Is that so? Then you should first ask aunt and your sister what they think. If it’s just you who wants me out, it’s not going to happen.” Qi Ruxue made a cute grimace at Ye Tianchen. Ye Tianchen looked at Qi Ruxue speechlessly, genuinely impressed by this woman—beautiful, sexy, yet so fierce and domineering. She was unlike other rich young ladies who couldn’t stand even the slightest bit of injustice; especially with that mouth of hers, she had completely fooled his mother and sister, causing his status at home to decline day by day, all thanks to Qi Ruxue. “I can’t be bothered with you. I need to take a dump right now, do you want to follow me in?” Ye Tianchen deliberately tried to disgust Qi Ruxue. “You… disgusting, vulgar, low-class jerk, I’m warning you now. Since you don’t welcome me moving in, then don’t even think about eating the food I make. If you dare to steal a bite again, you’re nothing but a little puppy!” Qi Ruxue said fiercely. Bang! Ye Tianchen didn’t argue with Qi Ruxue any further. This woman was too good with words, and not just anybody could deal with her. He walked into the restroom, closed the door behind him, and started to ponder. Having killed Li Tie, the leader of Capital City’s underground forces, what kind of reaction would the Qin family have? He hadn’t listened to those three tape recordings yet, so he didn’t know what was on them. He decided to listen to them after breakfast. During breakfast, Ye Tianchen naturally received unfair treatment. There were only two fried eggs, and none were for him, which almost made him smash his plate in anger. That was too much; he had a big appetite to begin with. Before Qi Ruxue had arrived, his mom had always made delicious meals every day. But since Qi Ruxue took over the kitchen, Ye Tianchen, having offended her, was definitely going to receive the brunt of her spite when it came to food. In the end, it was his mom, Luo Yan, who gave her portion to Ye Tianchen, putting an end to the bickering between him and Qi Ruxue. However, Ye Tianchen, feeling too embarrassed to eat his mother’s share, walked out of the villa, planning to buy some breakfast outside. After buying two fried dough sticks and a cup of soy milk, Ye Tianchen strolled around the villa complex while eating. He found himself outside the Beifeng Pavilion without realizing it. Thinking he had nothing better to do, he went inside. There were quite a few young masters gathered, discussing the two hottest topics that had just taken place in Capital City—both of which were related to Ye Tianchen. Ye Tianchen found a spot where he wouldn’t be noticed, sat down, and while eating the fried dough sticks and drinking the soy milk, he listened to the conversations of the young masters. He realized that this place was indeed full of valuable information, and he decided he should come here more often. “Have you all heard? Li Tie, the head of Capital City’s underground forces, was killed last night!” “Killed? By whom? That’s pretty impressive, isn’t it?” “Impressive is an understatement. They said that inside the villa where Li Tie lived, more than thirty people, including Li Tie himself, were killed. All those guys were elite assassins, each carrying guns and highly skilled, and yet they were all wiped out!” “What’s even more surprising is that Li Tie and his more than thirty men were all killed inside the villa. No one nearby heard any gunfire or sounds of a fight. It’s just too strange!” Ye Tianchen overheard all the discussions of the young masters and a slight smile appeared on his lips. It seemed that after his superpower had broken through to the King-level, the Superpower Isolation Net he used had become completely impenetrable. Although its range was not extensive, within its effective range, it could prevent all sounds from escaping. If he could break through to a higher level again, he would be able to cover an even wider area. “This piece of news isn’t that big, but I have an even more explosive one – do you want to hear it?” At this time, a chubby young man asked with a smile. “What’s even more explosive?” “You’re just bragging, kid. Is there anything more sensational than the murder of Li Tie, the leader of the Capital City’s underground forces?” someone asked incredulously. With a look of disdain, the chubby man glanced at the other young masters present and said, “The news you guys have is completely outdated. True, Li Tie is the Qin family’s lapdog, but he also had many enemies in the world of the underground. His murder is not surprising, and it may not be as you think – someone trying to oppose the Qin family.” “Then spit it out, kid. What’s this so-called more explosive news you’re on about?” “I don’t think so; our information isn’t outdated. How could we not know if something happened in the Capital City?” “Psh, the news you guys have is so not worth discussing. Let me tell you the truth – just last night, Luo Lei and Luo Tao of the Luo family were killed, and the killer even left a line of text at the scene. Guess who it was?” the chubby man said with a laugh. “What? No way, Luo Lei and Luo Tao were killed?” “My God, who dares to kill people from the Luo family? Luo Songcheng is no vegetarian – this is going to cause a huge uproar!” “Impossible, how could we not have heard about such explosive news?” Ye Tianchen heard this news and was also taken aback for a moment. He had not expected that Wuxue really went through with killing Luo Lei and Luo Tao. He had thought that Wuxue would not dare to go or perhaps needed to consider it. He did not expect that this guy had the courage and audacity. Now, he probably had to consider how to rescue Wuxue’s foster father, Yang Hai, from prison, he couldn’t just break his word! “This matter has been sealed by the Luo family because the person who killed Luo Tao and Luo Lei, albeit possibly not very powerful in the Capital City or coming from a lesser background, has already caused many forces within the city to secretly investigate him. You guys can guess who this person is…” the chubby man said leisurely with a smile. “This person is too wild, actually daring to kill Luo Lei and Luo Tao! Luo Songcheng is notoriously overprotective; he will definitely kill this person to avenge his grandsons!” “Who exactly is this person? To do something that shakes the entire Capital City must be no ordinary feat!” “Could it be… is it Ye Tianchen?” Finally, someone smart guessed that it was Ye Tianchen. Since his return to the Capital City, many events had become inconceivable, especially since everyone knew about Ye Tianchen’s grudge against the Luo family and that he had personally gone to Heaven and Earth to beat up Luo Lei, which already shocked people. If indeed Ye Tianchen killed Luo Lei and Luo Tao, then what was his backing? Sёarch* The Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Who was his supporter? It couldn’t possibly be thought that murdering two grandsons of the Luo family would just end like that! “Impossible, even if Ye Tianchen is that powerful, he wouldn’t dare to kill Luo Lei and Luo Tao. The Luo family’s influence is much greater than the Ye family. If it really was Ye Tianchen, I’m afraid the Ye family might face a disaster!” someone said, taking a sharp intake of breath. “Not necessarily, there has always been a rumor that since Ye Tianchen returned, he has changed completely. From his decisive annulment of his engagement and his beating of Luo Lei and Luo Tao, you can tell. Perhaps it really was him…” “Whether or not it was Ye Tianchen who did it cannot be confirmed yet. However, leaving his handwriting at the scene, that phrase is quite domineering,” the chubby man said, intentionally keeping everyone in suspense. “What did he say?” “This guy didn’t actually kill someone and leave a message, did he?” “My God, too, too fierce…” “Just spit it out, man, what did this guy leave behind?” The group of people were all hooked by the chubby man, and even Ye Tianchen grew a bit curious. After Wuxue had killed Luo Lei and Luo Tao, what exactly did he leave behind? [PS: Continuing the charge up the charts, still in urgent need of favorites, recommendation tickets, member clicks.
