Chapter 22

Yechen Ye stood at the entrance of the classroom, his face expressionless, without much talk, and he became extremely cold. He walked step by step toward Chen Hao. More than thirty thugs and a skilled Rat were all taken down by Ye Chen. He didn’t use his special abilities because there was no need; these people were not at the level where he needed to use his special abilities to defeat them.

Rat was originally very impressive, leaping over a meter high and striking Ye Chen with all his might. However, he was kicked away by Ye Chen and fell to the ground, unable to get up for a long time. This shocked Chen Hao, who was sweating coldly all over. He never thought that Ye Chen, the laughingstock and waste of the capital, could be so formidable. More than thirty thugs armed with steel pipes and machetes couldn’t even slow him down.

Even though Ye Chen didn’t use his special abilities, his sister, Qianwen Ye, was still stunned. She had always known her brother well. He had always been a playboy, and even after joining the military and becoming a special forces soldier, learning martial arts and becoming much stronger, it was still impossible for him to take down thirty thugs in less than five minutes. At this moment, Qianwen felt that her brother Ye Chen had changed, exuding a dominant aura in every move.

"Don’t come any closer. If you take one more step, I’ll shoot your sister!" Chen Hao, terrified and pale, almost wetting his pants, pulled out a gun from his pocket and pressed it against Qianwen’s temple.

"Let my sister go, and I’ll give you a quick death." Ye Chen stopped walking and looked at Chen Hao coldly.

"Hmph, what a joke. It’s me threatening you, not the other way around. Get your facts straight..." Chen Hao, seeing that Ye Chen had stopped, thought that as long as he had Qianwen, Ye Chen wouldn’t dare to make a move.

Ye Chen glanced at Chen Hao coldly. In his eyes, Chen Hao was already a dead man. No one, not even the Son of Heaven, could live after daring to harm his sister. Protecting his family was a must, and no one could infringe on it.

"Brother, don’t come over, run away, brother..." Qianwen, tears in her eyes, shouted nervously.

"Don’t be afraid, with me here, nothing will happen to you." Ye Chen smiled.

Qianwen looked at her brother, tears streaming down her face. From a young age, her brother had always loved her so much that he would risk his life for her. Even knowing that Chen Hao would harm him, Ye Chen still came without hesitation. In his eyes, his sister was one of the most important people in his life.

"Ha ha ha, what a touching brother-sister bond. Ye Chen, you’re just a waste. Get down on your knees, get down on your knees..." Chen Hao laughed wildly and shouted at Ye Chen.

"My fate has always been in my own hands. I don’t kneel to heaven or earth, and you, an ant, don’t deserve it." Ye Chen said calmly.

In the post-apocalyptic world, it was an absolutely cruel place. No one could save you; only you could save yourself. If your own strength wasn’t powerful enough, you would be at the mercy of others. Praying to gods and buddhas was useless; you had to find a way to survive.

"Damn, stubborn, die!" Chen Hao, enraged, didn’t expect Ye Chen to still look down on him even with a gun and Qianwen as a hostage. He shifted the gun and pulled the trigger.

Bang!

A gunshot rang out. Qianwen froze, tears streaming down her face. This wasn’t just a steel pipe or a machete; a bullet could be fatal if it hit a vital organ.

The next second, Chen Hao fell in a pool of blood, rolling on the ground and screaming in agony. The bullet hadn’t hit Ye Chen but had ricocheted back and hit Chen Hao.

In fact, Ye Chen had provoked Chen Hao to shoot at him. The moment Chen Hao pulled the trigger, Ye Chen extended his right hand, gathering all his special energy in his palm, forming an invisible barrier that deflected the bullet back, hitting Chen Hao’s left shoulder.

"Are you okay, sister?" Ye Chen walked to Qianwen, untied her, and asked with concern.

"I’m fine, brother, you..." Qianwen looked at her brother as if he were an alien. She was already surprised by his formidable skills, but the fact that a bullet couldn’t even hurt him was unbelievable.

"Let’s go, we need to leave here; it’s too dangerous!"

Ye Chen interrupted Qianwen, pulling her hand and running out of the abandoned factory. Chen Hao and his thugs were all lying on the ground, screaming in pain. As they left, Ye Chen patted Chen Hao’s head.

The moment Ye Chen and Qianwen left the factory, Chen Hao died with blood flowing from his seven orifices. When Ye Chen patted his head, he injected special energy, destroying Chen Hao’s brain cells and causing his death. Ye Chen had already been filled with murderous intent on the way there. Chen Hao had dared to kidnap his sister, and he had to die. However, Ye Chen didn’t want to kill in front of Qianwen, so he used this method to end Chen Hao’s life. Anyone who dared to harm his family had to die.

"Brother... how did you become so strong?" Qianwen asked, puzzled, in the taxi.

"Hehe, I learned it in the military, just a bit of basic skills. If you like, I can teach you some martial arts for fitness." Ye Chen smiled.

"Really? You can dodge bullets? That’s amazing!"

The scene of Chen Hao shooting at Ye Chen kept replaying in Qianwen’s mind. She thought her brother would be either dead or seriously injured, but when she came to her senses, Chen Hao was the one lying in a pool of blood, hit in the left shoulder and screaming in pain.

Chen Hao had shot at her brother, but Ye Chen didn’t have a gun. Why was Chen Hao the one hit? Qianwen couldn’t understand.

"Ugh, didn’t you see Chen Hao’s gun? It was a fake. It misfired and hit him. You really think I can dodge bullets?" Ye Chen shook his head, pretending to be speechless.

"Ah, that’s it? Brother, that was really dangerous. How could you be so foolish, knowing the danger and still come?"

"I’m your brother. How could I not come to save you when you’re in danger? Don’t worry too much. As long as I’m here, no one can hurt you!" Ye Chen smiled.

Qianwen was deeply moved, hugging her brother’s arm. Having such a loving and protective brother made any girl happy.

But Qianwen didn’t know that Chen Hao was already dead. When Ye Chen patted his head, he injected special energy, causing Chen Hao to die with blood flowing from his seven orifices. This was Chen Hao’s deserved fate. For anyone who dared to disrupt his peaceful life and harm his family, Ye Chen would not be lenient. My family, who dares to insult, must pay with their life!

"By the way, brother, now that you’ve broken off the engagement with the Qi family, do you have a crush on anyone?" Qianwen asked with a mischievous smile.

"You little brat, why are you concerned about this instead of focusing on your studies? Are you more anxious than I am to find a partner?" Ye Chen teased.

"Who, who’s anxious? I’m not anxious. It’s Mom who’s anxious, wanting to hold a grandchild soon." Qianwen blushed and glared at her brother.

Hearing this, Ye Chen was taken aback. One of the three unfilial acts is not having a successor. He was already twenty, and the Ye family had him late. His mother, Luo Yan, being a full-time housewife, naturally wanted to see her son get married and have a grandchild soon.

However, Ye Chen didn’t have a crush on anyone. He had met many women, but none of them had touched his heart, at least not yet.

"Love can’t be forced. We’ll see."

"Brother, Mom isn’t just pushing you. She’s worried that you might be affected by the Li family incident and the Qi family’s breaking off the engagement, losing confidence in women or even deciding not to marry. If that happens, our Ye family..."

At this, Ye Chen understood. His mother was worried that he might lose interest in women or become a bachelor because of the Li family incident and the Qi family’s actions, so she was pushing him to get married.

"It’s not as serious as you and Mom think. I’m still a normal man; I just haven’t met the right woman yet. Also, focus on your studies and don’t get involved in these things. Got it?"

"Of course not. Mom said to keep an eye on the girls around you and report to her if there’s a suitable one. Then Mom and I will personally vet them to make sure you don’t mess around."

Ye Chen was speechless. He was only twenty, and his mother was already eager for him to get married and have a grandchild. He couldn’t help but pray: Dream girl, please don’t appear so soon. I’m only twenty, and my single life has just begun...
