49: Chapter 49 [Big Trouble at the Ye Family’s Old House!] 49: Chapter 49 [Big Trouble at the Ye Family’s Old House!] Leaving a mark after murder, what domineering attitude! Ye Tianchen hadn’t thought that Wuxue would have such audacity. S~eaʀᴄh the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. He really went ahead and killed Luo Lei and Luo Tao and even left a message at the scene. Truly deserving of the title of Capital City’s top assassin, daring in both action and deed! “Damn it, just spit it out, what exactly did Ye Tianchen leave behind?” “Exactly, stop keeping us in suspense, what did he write?” These sons of the nobility were always extremely bored, knowing nothing but indulgence in food, drink, and pleasure, gossiping and womanizing, while within the big dye vat of Capital City, there were all sorts of news, but explosive news was rare. The death of Luo Lei and Luo Tao this time would definitely become the biggest news in Capital City in recent years and might even cause a tremendous upheaval. Anyone with a bit of status knew that although the Luo family was not a first-class family of Capital City, Luo Songcheng was notoriously protective of his own, and over the years, as the Luo family’s influence grew stronger, especially with the possible election of Luo Songcheng to the Military Committee, the Luo family could potentially become one of Capital City’s top families. At that time, it would definitely not be a force the Ye family could provoke. Many knew that ever since the elder Ye Yuanshan stepped down, the Ye family’s power had been declining day by day. With the three sons unable to hold the family banner high, they were certainly no match for the Luo family. If Luo Songcheng really entered the Military Committee, the Ye family might suffer a calamity, and if Ye Tianchen was really the one who killed Luo Lei and Luo Tao, things were likely to get serious. Of course, these noblemen watched with the attitude of enjoying the show. After all, Capital City had many major powers and large families, and the competition was fierce with many spectacles to witness. Most people sided with the Luo family because the Ye family’s influence indeed paled in comparison. The chubby man looked around at everyone present, took a sip of tea, and then stood up to speak, “If it really were Ye Tianchen who killed Luo Lei and Luo Tao, I think this wastrel of the Ye family might really have toughened up. His words, so shocking and bone-chilling!” “Are you asking for us to give you a beating before you’ll talk?” “Stop hanging us on, out with it!” “The words were: ‘Offend my Ye family, insult my kin and friends, death! The word of Ye Tianchen!'” When the chubby man spoke, he seemed as if he himself had accomplished this great feat, his voice tinged with a trace of excitement. Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but smile wryly and shake his head. It seemed that Wuxue still knew him somewhat—those words did indeed match his style and principles. If it were him who personally went to kill Luo Lei and Luo Tao, he probably would have written that sentence, too. “Is… is this guy courting death? Daring to talk big like that.” “He killed Luo Lei and Luo Tao, and he dared to leave a message, that’s just too, too fierce!” “The power of the Ye family is far inferior to that of the Luo family. Now if the Luo family uses their power to exterminate the Ye family, even the higher-ups in the country probably wouldn’t dare to say much!” “Ye Tianchen is seeking death; he’s going to doom the entire Ye family.” Hearing the words left by Wuxue after the killings from the chubby man, these noblemen gasped in unison. Although their families were not very powerful in Capital City, they could still somewhat grasp the high-level affairs. Luo Songcheng had always been very imposing, and the Ye family had declined into a Third-class Family; in terms of family power, they were definitely no match for the Luo family. To say that Ye Tianchen alone could confront the entire Luo family and save the Ye family’s situation was something that few would believe. “I actually quite like this Ye Tianchen, the laughingstock of the whole Capital City. Ever since he returned to the city, his every move has been with an air of domineering. It would be fun if he could really take on the Luo family…” The chubby man chuckled. Ye Tianchen left the Beifeng Pavilion, thinking of how to help Wuxue rescue his foster father, Yang Hai. As a man of his word, he had promised Wuxue that as long as he killed Luo Lei and Luo Tao, he would rescue his foster father, and Ye Tianchen would surely find a way to do it. Just after stepping out of Beifeng Pavilion, Ye Tianchen’s phone rang. He saw that it was a call from an unlisted number and, with a hint of curiosity, pressed the answer button. “Hello, who are you looking for?” Ye Tianchen asked. “It’s me. Check your surroundings now, see if you are being followed, or if there’s a chance of being bugged,” a man’s voice came from the other side of the phone. Ye Tianchen frowned and quickly surveyed his surroundings. Using his superpowers to sense for anything suspicious, he found nothing amiss and spoke, “Wuxue, you killed Luo Lei and Luo Tao for me. I will keep my promise and rescue your foster father.” The person who had called was indeed Wuxue. Last night, he had actually killed Luo Lei and Luo Tao, and according to Ye Tianchen’s words, left a message so the Luo family would know it was Ye Tianchen, not Wuxue, who killed them. “This can be postponed; there’s no rush. I called to tell you that your Ye family faces the danger of extermination. Better to prepare early!” Wuxue’s tone was neither cold nor warm, yet it brought a shocking atmosphere. “Is it Luo Songcheng preparing to make a move?” Ye Tianchen asked calmly. “Correct. Luo Songcheng has sealed the news exactly because he plans to strike suddenly and exterminate your Ye family. He’s already mobilizing the Kyoto Imperial Army, and they might soon head to the Ye family, ready to execute first and report later,” Wuxue revealed. “The Kyoto Imperial Army? Are you talking about the Sky Dragon Team?” When it came to the Sky Dragon Team, Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but remember Tiechui, the team leader of the Sky Dragon Team. It was him who had come to meet him on the day he carried Han Jie back. He had always heard that not only was the Sky Dragon Team an incredibly formidable force, but it also directly reported to higher-ups and shouldered the vital mission of defending Capital City. With many significant powers and large families in Capital City, the security issues were very complicated and difficult to deal with. Some matters involved the big powers and families that even the Ministry of Public Security did not dare provoke; that’s where the Sky Dragon Team stepped in. They were directly accountable to the top leaders of the military and the nation, could disregard many people’s faces, and thus, the Sky Dragon Team was hailed as the Kyoto Imperial Army. “Yes, their leader is Tiechui, who is extremely skilled and definitely stronger than me. Though he wouldn’t order anyone to harm the Ye family, it’s very likely that Luo Songcheng would secretly send someone to make a move…” Wuxue warned. Ye Tianchen furrowed his brows. He hadn’t expected the old man Luo Songcheng to be so ruthless as to use people from the Sky Dragon Team against his own Ye family. He knew that every member of the Sky Dragon Team was battle-hardened. The first time he laid eyes on Tiechui, he knew the man was a master among masters. If Tiechui were really persuaded by Luo Songcheng to go against the Ye family, coupled with Luo Songcheng’s instigation, a bloody conflict was very likely to erupt. “I understand, thank you!” Ye Tianchen came back to his senses and said. “No need, you spared my life and didn’t kill me. By telling you this information, we’re even!” Wuxue said. “After this is handled, I will rescue your foster father!” Hanging up the phone, Ye Tianchen didn’t delay but hurried home. He needed to tell his mother to find a safe place for her and his little sister temporarily. Luo Songcheng of the Luo family would certainly be ruthless in taking action. Until this old man was dealt with, he couldn’t let his father, mother, or sister be in any danger. But the moment Ye Tianchen got home, before he could even make up a story to take his mother and sister out for a few days, his mother was already dragging him outside. “Mom, what’s the matter?” “Big trouble. The Ye family mansion is surrounded by armed men. The old master called and wants us there; your father has already arrived!” Luo Yan said anxiously. “What? Dad is already at the Ye family mansion?” Ye Tianchen asked, somewhat unexpectedly. “Yes, let’s hurry over!” Ye Tianchen hadn’t expected that his father, Ye Hong, would already be at the Ye family mansion. The mansion was surrounded by troops, a deed surely done by Luo Songcheng. Ye Tianchen had planned to confront Luo Songcheng himself, but he never imagined the old man would act so swiftly. “Mom, once we get to the mansion, no matter what I do, don’t ask questions for now, or else dad might be in danger,” Ye Tianchen said after a moment, his gaze turning firm. “I… I understand…” Luo Yan, though not knowing why her son Ye Tianchen would say such a thing, realized from his serious expression that the situation was serious. Since her son’s return, he had brought her many surprises, and gradually she had come to believe that her son had truly grown up into a man who could stand tall and proud. By the time Ye Tianchen and his mother Luo Yan arrived at the Ye family mansion, they found the whole place surrounded by soldiers with guns. The situation seemed dire indeed—Luo Songcheng dared to lead troops to besiege the Ye family mansion, which indicated he was prepared to completely break ties and wouldn’t hesitate to kill and wipe out the Ye family. “Son, what… what is going on?” Luo Yan, seeing the soldiers with guns everywhere, asked nervously. “Oh, Mom, it’s nothing. Maybe some important leader has come. Don’t be scared; your son is here. Let’s go in!” Ye Tianchen said with a smile to his mother Luo Yan. Just as Ye Tianchen and Luo Yan were about to enter the front gate of the Ye family mansion, they were stopped by two armed soldiers. One of the soldiers coldly said, “Who are you? You can’t just go in here!” “I need your permission to return to my own home?” Ye Tianchen retorted coldly. “You… who are you?” another soldier asked, taken aback. “Ye Tianchen.” Upon hearing Ye Tianchen’s name, the two guards at the gate were visibly shocked. They were Luo Songcheng’s men and, of course, knew that the reason Luo Songcheng had brought a force to the Ye family mansion was to seek retribution. If they couldn’t produce Ye Tianchen, Luo Songcheng was ready to go on a killing spree. None of them expected that Ye Tianchen would dare show up at this time. Wasn’t he deliberately walking into a trap? “What? You are Ye Tianchen? You dare to come!” One of the armed soldiers, snapping back to reality, touched the gun in his hand and said coldly. “Why wouldn’t I dare? Get out of my way; I’m here to meet Luo Songcheng, the old man!” Ye Tianchen kicked the soldier who blocked his way and, pulling his mother Luo Yan, walked into the mansion.
