Chapter 14

"Can you tell me what happened in this whole incident?"

Ye Tianchen, upon hearing Hu Long mention Li Tie, the local thug in Kyoto who had once tried to force him to kill his father, Ye Hong, knew that this matter was no small affair. Li Tie was just a thug in Kyoto, yet he had the audacity to try to kill his father, who was the vice mayor. Moreover, Ye Tianchen had never heard his father mention any conflict with the underground criminal forces in Kyoto. Therefore, Ye Tianchen speculated that someone must have been behind Li Tie, and this definitely involved a major conspiracy.

Kyoto was a place where tigers and dragons lay in wait, with numerous powerful families and both legal and illegal forces. Beneath the calm surface, there was always bloodshed and countless struggles.

"I heard that Li Tie was ordered by the Qin family to kill someone. As for the details, I'm not very clear," Hu Long said, seeing Ye Tianchen's reaction. Although he was a bit puzzled, he still shared what he knew.

"Alright, thank you. Leave quickly, take your sister away from here, find a safe place, and don't come back!" After saying this, Ye Tianchen left. He was in a hurry to get home because he suddenly felt that, although the Ye family seemed peaceful and uninvolved in conflicts, there were many people who wanted to harm them. This made him more determined to awaken his special abilities as soon as possible, to protect his family and everything he had in this life. He would not allow anyone to bully them; this was something Ye Tianchen had long decided in his heart.

As for dealing with Li Tie, the thug in Kyoto, Ye Tianchen had not yet planned to act immediately. After all, this involved the Qin family, and it seemed that Li Tie was a lackey of the Qin family. To deal with the Qin family, he needed to think carefully and find the right opportunity. The Qin family was a second-tier family in Kyoto, much higher in status than the Ye family. If he acted rashly, he might not solve the problem and could even bring a major crisis to his family.

Although Ye Tianchen was a god-level ability user in the post-apocalyptic world and admired solving problems with force, this did not mean he was a mindless person. He understood that many things could not be solved by brute force alone. He needed to use his brain, especially in the complex environment of Kyoto, where truly smart people could kill without leaving a trace.

The Luo family was destined to have a restless night. A man in his sixties, wearing a military uniform, with a square face and a crew cut, sat solemnly in the middle of the hall, frowning. He had rushed back because both of his grandsons had been severely beaten that day. The younger one might become a vegetable, and the older one had all his teeth knocked out and his face swollen like a pig's head, unable to speak.

This stern old man was the head of the Luo family, the grandfather of Luo Tao and Luo Lei, Luo Songcheng, a military commander with great power. For so many years, no one had dared to touch the Luo family, let alone severely beat two of his grandsons in one day, which was unbearable.

Slam!

"Who? I want to know who beat Lei and Tao!" Luo Songcheng slammed his hand on the coffee table and roared in anger.

In the hall of the Luo family's villa, Luo Songcheng's eyes were filled with anger as he looked at his two sons. The Luo family's influence had not been as great in recent years, mainly because his two sons were not very capable. He had managed to get Luo Lei into the Falcon Unit to lay the groundwork for his career, but now he had been beaten like this. If this news got out, where would his face be?

"Father, you must stand up for Tao and Lei. Our Luo family cannot be bullied like this," Luo Guanghui, the eldest son of the Luo family and the father of Luo Lei and Luo Tao, said with a mournful face.

"Shut up! Your son was beaten, and you don't try to find out who did it. Why are you crying to me? You're useless," Luo Songcheng scolded.

Luo Guanghui was startled by his father's scolding. He was an uneducated old man, and that was why he had raised the unruly Luo Lei and Luo Tao. Faced with his sons being beaten like this, Luo Guanghui was at a loss and could only look to his father, Luo Songcheng.

"Father, I sent people to investigate, and it's almost certain that it was that kid from the Ye family, Ye Tianchen," Luo Songcheng's second son, Luo Qi, said calmly.

"What? Ye Tianchen? Didn't that little bastard die?" Luo Guanghui asked in surprise.

"You're always idle and don't know anything. Ye Tianchen is alive and back, but I don't know why he attacked Lei and Tao," Luo Songcheng frowned and said.

"According to the information I have, after Ye Tianchen became a special forces soldier, he got close to Han Jie, the daughter of the Han family. Lei has been pursuing Han Jie, so he had someone publish defamatory content about Ye Tianchen in the tabloids. In the end, Ye Tianchen found him at the Heavenly World, but there's something that puzzles me..." Luo Qi hesitated to say.

"What is it?" Luo Songcheng looked at Luo Qi, who was relatively reliable.

"I tried to get Ye Tianchen's military records, but I failed. His training records in the military are classified as top-secret by the National Security Bureau, and it's not easy for ordinary people to obtain them," Luo Qi frowned and said.

Hearing his second son's words, Luo Songcheng was also stunned. He had heard of Ye Tianchen, not because he was famous at that time, but because of the two incidents: peeping on the first beauty of Kyoto, Liu Rumei, and being dumped by the Qi family. These two incidents were enough to make Ye Tianchen famous, and anyone with some influence knew about them.

However, Luo Songcheng didn't understand why his second son, Luo Qi, was puzzled. In everyone's eyes, Ye Tianchen was just a wastrel and a fool. Such a person, who was not well-regarded, had managed to survive an ambush and return alive, even though five experienced special forces soldiers had died. This was shocking, and all his records were classified as top-secret. Could such a wastrel and a fool have such formidable combat skills?

"Top-secret records, who handled this?" Luo Songcheng was stunned. To classify a regular special forces soldier's records as top-secret and send them to the National Security Bureau was no small matter.

"Lang Chao!" Luo Qi said solemnly.

"It's him? One of the three great warriors of China, and he's involved in this. I think Ye Tianchen is not as simple as people see him. We need to investigate him thoroughly," Luo Songcheng thought for a moment and said.

"Father, Ye Tianchen is just a wastrel and a fool. We can just send a few people to take care of him. The Ye family has long declined and is no match for our Luo family," Luo Guanghui said, somewhat annoyed.

Luo Songcheng, a military man with a fiery temper, kicked his eldest son, Luo Guanghui, and scolded him harshly: "Use your brain! A special forces soldier who survived an ambush and whose records are classified as top-secret, and who beat Lei and Tao so badly, can he be a wastrel and a fool? If he's a fool, then the people he has been playing with in Kyoto all these years must be fools too!"

Moreover, although Luo Lei had entered the Falcon Unit through his grandfather's connections, his skills were still better than those of an average special forces soldier. The fact that he was beaten so badly by Ye Tianchen was very suspicious.

Now, Luo Songcheng was beginning to doubt Ye Tianchen's actions over the years. Was this man just playing with everyone in Kyoto, or had he been biding his time, preparing to rise?

"Father, I..." Luo Guanghui was stunned by the kick. Luo Songcheng, who usually protected his family, had actually turned against him, which was unusual.

"Do you think the Ye family is so easy to deal with? Ye Yuan Shan, the old man of the Ye family, may have retired, but a dead camel is still bigger than a horse. If we push him too far, our Luo family might be in danger. And now, Ye Tianchen is unpredictable. Acting rashly will only put us at a disadvantage," Luo Songcheng said irritably.

"What should we do now?" Luo Qi asked.

"Leave this to you. The military committee election is coming up soon. I will do my best to enter the committee and hope to elevate our Luo family. At that time, we won't have to worry about the Ye family, so I won't get involved in this matter!" Luo Songcheng looked at Luo Qi and said.

"I understand!" Luo Qi nodded.

"Alright, don't act rashly for now. Wait until Qi finds out more about Ye Tianchen. I'll say it again, don't treat this person as a fool. He might be the smartest person in Kyoto," Luo Songcheng warned his eldest son, Luo Guanghui, once more.

Luo Guanghui's decision was also out of necessity. The Luo family was not a major family in Kyoto, similar to the Ye family. However, Ye Yuan Shan, the patriarch of the Ye family, had retired, and the Luo family still had a military commander with real power, making them higher in status than the Ye family.

However, Kyoto was a complex place with many hidden forces. The old patriarch of the Ye family had once held power and still had many connections. If this threatened his entry into the military committee, it would be a serious problem. This opportunity had been something Luo Songcheng had waited for many years, so he had to be cautious and deliberate in his decisions. Acting rashly could lead to the destruction of his family.
