Chapter 10

The largest gossip newspaper in Kyoto published defamatory news about Ye Tianchen. When Ye Tianchen saw the content, he knew that someone was trying to frame him. However, he was puzzled about who would want to frame him and why. It seemed that since he joined the military and returned, he had not offended anyone. Could it be the Qin family again? This was quite possible. The Qin family was a second-rate family in Kyoto. The Qi family's proposal to break off the engagement was also due to the Qin family. Furthermore, last night, the Qin family sent two assassins to kidnap his mother and sister, in order to compete unfairly for an official position with his father, Ye Hong. Given that they would do such a thing, it was not surprising that the Qin family would deliberately have someone publish such defamatory news about him.

Ye Tianchen walked out of the villa, took a cigarette from his pocket, a very ordinary one, not a high-end brand, just a Honghe. After lighting it, he took a puff and found himself at a fork in the road. This area in Kyoto was quite large, a famous villa district where many high-ranking officials and wealthy people lived. Inside the villa complex, there was a teahouse called Beifengxuan. The young rascals in the neighborhood would often go there to chat and find some excitement when they had nothing to do.

As he entered Beifengxuan, a pretty waitress greeted him with a smile and asked, "Young Master, how many people are you with?"

"Just one, find a place where I can hear everyone chatting!" Ye Tianchen took out a stack of bills, at least a thousand yuan, and gave it to the pretty waitress as a tip.

The pretty waitress took the tip, and her smile became even brighter. When making money, encountering such a generous customer, of course, she had to be friendly. It would be truly ungrateful to have a sour face after receiving so much tip.

When Ye Tianchen sat down, he looked around and felt that the thousand yuan tip was well worth it. Sitting on the second floor of Beifengxuan, behind a bamboo curtain, he could clearly hear the discussions in the hall.

"Have you heard? The Qi family went to the Ye family to break off the engagement!"

"I already knew. Isn't the Ye family's wastrel son already discharged from the military and back?"

"Discharged from the military? No way!"

"Why not? Didn't you see today's newspaper? This guy participated in a live combat mission, encountered fierce bandits, and to save his life, he betrayed his comrades and knelt to beg for mercy, barely surviving!"

On the second floor of Beifengxuan, a group of young masters had gathered. They spent their days idly, looking for thrills, chasing women, and gossiping. Ye Tianchen listened to their conversation without any emotional波动, just sipping his tea calmly. He came here to gather clues to find out who was framing him.

"This... this guy is still a descendant of the Ye family, but to do such a thing is really shameful!"

"There's no shame or no shame. After all, the biggest shame has already been lost. Peeping at the first beauty of Kyoto while bathing, his parents personally apologized to the Liu family, and he knelt beside them; then the Qi family came to break off the engagement, and now the news of betraying his comrades and begging for his life has been exposed. The Ye family is really in a difficult position."

"Hmph, what is the Ye family? They have long fallen from grace!" At this moment, a young man in his early twenties, wearing a designer suit, walked up to the second floor with a sneer on his face.

Ye Tianchen glanced at the young man and frowned. He had no particular impression of this young man, but strangely, the other young masters were just gossiping without any specific target, while this guy spoke with disdain and contempt, as if he had a deep grudge against the Ye family.

"Hey, who is it? Oh, it's the second son of the Luo family. What wind brought you here?" A young man also stood up and smiled.

Luo Tao, the second son of the Luo family, was from a prominent family in Kyoto, almost a first-rate family. The reason for this was that apart from the old patriarch of the Luo family in the military commission, none of the other descendants of the Luo family had entered politics, perhaps due to their lack of ability.

"I came specifically to see the Ye family's downfall. Daring to compete for a woman with my brother, Ye Tianchen is asking for it!" Luo Tao sat on the sofa and said loudly.

The others, seeing Luo Tao's arrogance, all shook their heads with a smile. Everyone knew that Luo Tao, the second son of the Luo family, was a fool, relying on his family's power to act arrogantly, but not understanding the principle that Kyoto was full of hidden dragons and tigers. The other young masters, though also arrogant, were not as obvious, as they understood that in Kyoto, anything could happen. Some hidden powerful families and forces were not known to everyone. To deal with someone, it was better to act in secret rather than openly.

"Ha ha, Ye Tianchen competing for a woman with your brother, where did you hear that?" Someone asked with a smile.

Luo Tao glanced at the people present, took a sip of tea, and spat it on the ground, then said, "My brother has always been pursuing the beautiful special forces soldier, Han Jie. This guy dared to come back alive with my brother's woman, which is asking for death. It was already lenient of the Luo family not to kill him directly. We just published the facts in the newspaper as a small warning!"

At this point, everything became clear. It was the eldest son of the Luo family who was unhappy with Ye Tianchen getting close to Han Jie, especially after hearing that Han Jie had even shielded Ye Tianchen from a bullet. He was even more upset and paid to publish defamatory articles to tarnish the Ye family's reputation and make Ye Tianchen lose face.

"You should be a bit more careful. If the Ye family finds out, there might be trouble," someone warned kindly.

"Is that so? I'd like to see what trouble could happen. The Ye family has long fallen from grace. With just a finger, the Luo family can make the Ye family never recover. As for that little bastard Ye Tianchen, whether in a one-on-one or a group fight, my brother can crush him with one finger!" Luo Tao spoke louder and more arrogantly, showing his deep contempt for the Ye family.

"That's true. Although Ye Tianchen is a special forces soldier, his skills definitely can't match your brother's. Your brother is a member of the Falcon Unit, a great honor for the Luo family!" someone said with a smile.

Hearing this, Ye Tianchen's lips curled into a smile. No wonder the Luo family was so arrogant. One reason was that the Ye family no longer had anyone in power, and the other was that the eldest son of the Luo family was a member of the Falcon Unit, which was indeed something to be proud of.

The Falcon Unit was the most powerful single-soldier unit in China. Every member was selected from thousands, trained for a year, and passed various tests before becoming an official member of the Falcon Unit.

Kyoto was a place with many prominent families, and their descendants rarely became members of the Falcon Unit. Most of these young masters were like flowers in a greenhouse, unable to withstand such harsh training. Although there were rumors that the eldest son of the Luo family entered the Falcon Unit due to his own abilities and the old patriarch's influence, this was just a rumor, and no one dared to say it out loud, as the Luo family was always very powerful, and no one wanted to cause unnecessary trouble.

"The Luo family can crush the Ye family with one foot, and my brother can crush Ye Tianchen with one toe. It would be best if the entire Ye family died, leaving us in peace." Luo Tao spoke more and more wildly, more and more arrogantly, mainly because he was used to being arrogant.

"You should be a bit more careful. Cursing someone's entire family to death, you might get slapped!"

"Slapped? Who dares to slap me, Luo Tao? I..."

Slap!

A loud slap, in the shocked eyes of everyone, Luo Tao was slapped and flew out, breaking the glass on the second floor and falling down. By the time everyone reacted, they only saw a figure walking down the stairs...

Ye Tianchen put on the cap on the back of his clothes, gave Luo Tao a heavy slap, and walked away. He did not reveal himself for two reasons: first, the Ye family's current power was indeed not as strong as the Luo family, and a conflict would not be good for the Ye family. Ye Tianchen did not want to cause more trouble for his parents and sister. Second, he planned to find the mastermind, which was Luo Tao's brother. Regardless of whether he was the eldest son of the Luo family or a member of the Falcon Unit, since he dared to provoke him, he must be given a lesson. After being reborn, Ye Tianchen was no longer a pushover!

At midnight, 12 o'clock, Ye Tianchen had not returned home all day. He waited until this moment to go to Tianren, a place where people could indulge in pleasure and forget their worries. It was the largest entertainment venue in Kyoto, where anything you could imagine was possible. It was a gathering place for the upper class, always packed with people every night, offering everything from food, drink, prostitution, gambling, and drugs.

Ye Tianchen still had a cigarette in his mouth as he walked into Tianren. Smoking was his best companion. In the end times, whenever Ye Tianchen was about to take action or face a strong opponent, he would smoke, a comfortable enjoyment that was indispensable.

At this moment, in a luxurious private room on the third floor of Tianren, a man with a dark face and a murderous look in his eyes sat with two friends, also young masters from prominent families in Kyoto. This man was the eldest son of the Luo family, Luo Lei. Just an hour ago, he received a call from home, saying that his brother, Luo Tao, had been beaten. A single slap sent him flying off the second floor, breaking his left leg, which was not serious, but his right face, which had been hit, suffered a comminuted fracture, all his teeth were knocked out, and his brain was injured, possibly leaving him in a vegetative state. Poor Luo Tao, who spoke without thinking, was turned into a vegetable by a single slap from Ye Tianchen.

"Whoever hit my brother, I will make them die!" Luo Lei angrily crushed the glass in his right hand and said fiercely.
