Chapter 29

In a basement in Kyoto, the bodies of Chen Hu and his three subordinates were neatly arranged on the empty ground. A thin man wearing gold-rimmed glasses sat on the sofa in the room, looking at the four bodies with a gloomy expression.

This thin man wearing gold-rimmed glasses was Li Tie, the head of the entire underground force in Kyoto. He had many connections in the legitimate world, especially often handling affairs for some of Kyoto's major families, giving him a sense of being an underground emperor. Chen Hu was one of Li Tie's subordinates. Not long ago, Li Tie's subordinates discovered the bodies of Chen Hu and his three capable subordinates and brought them here.

"Are you sure Chen Hu's death was caused by Ye Tianchen from the Ye family?" Li Tie asked with a hint of anger.

"Yes, Brother Li. After discovering the bodies of Chen Hu and the others, we conducted an investigation and learned that Chen Hu's son, Chen Hao, had kidnapped Ye Tianchen's sister. Chen Hao died in an abandoned factory in the suburbs this afternoon, and Chen Hu died in the evening..." a subordinate reported.

Li Tie frowned. The events of the past few days had left him puzzled and restless. The Qin family had asked him to provoke the Ye family and even eliminate them. Li Tie originally thought it would be an easy task, as the Ye family was in decline, and the old man of the Ye family no longer held power. In this city of hidden dragons and tigers, a third-rate family like the Ye family would not attract much attention.

So at the beginning, Li Tie sent two killers to the villa where Ye Tianchen lived, intending to kidnap his mother and younger sister to threaten his father, Ye Hong, not to become the Party Secretary of H City. However, the two skilled killers never returned and have not been heard from since.

Hu Long was unwilling to kill Ye Hong, so Li Tie sent people to cause trouble. Hu Long was supposed to die, but he was saved by an unknown young man. Now Chen Hu was dead, and all these signs indicated that since Ye Tianchen returned, many things were out of control, leaving Li Tie puzzled.

"Could it really be Ye Tianchen?" Li Tie muttered to himself.

"Brother Li, it's very possible. Since Ye Tianchen returned, he first broke off the engagement with the Qi family smoothly, then severely injured Luo Lei and Luo Tao of the Luo family. Even the overly protective Luo Songcheng had to endure it. It seems this kid is not as simple as we thought."

"Hmph, I don't care if he's simple or not. The higher-ups have already ordered me to eliminate the Ye family. Unfortunately, I, Li Tie, have been too busy lately and haven't taken decisive action. Since Ye Tianchen dared to kill my people, I can't be blamed." Li Tie adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and smiled coldly.

"What should we do, Brother?" a burly man asked.

"Report it to the police!" Li Tie said sternly.

Hearing Li Tie's words, the subordinates were stunned and looked uneasy. They were all part of the underworld, and they usually settled matters among themselves. Reporting to the police would be a laughingstock if it got out. They didn't understand why Li Tie would do this, as it would undermine their authority and provide amusement for others.

A true underworld force, whose people were killed, would seek revenge and reclaim their honor, not report to the police. This was indeed laughable, but Li Tie had his own thoughts.

"Brother, this..."

"No need to think about it. Go report it to the police and let them investigate. I'll wait for the results." Li Tie said seriously.

"Alright, should we report to the higher-ups?"

The higher-ups, of course, referred to the Qin family. Li Tie's dominance in the underground world of Kyoto was inseparable from the support of the Qin family. Over the years, Li Tie had done a lot for the Qin family. In essence, his direct superior was the Qin family, and he needed to report everything to them.

"No, keep this matter secret for now." Li Tie thought for a moment and said.

"What if the Qin family asks about dealing with the Ye family?"

"Tell them I'm sick, seriously ill, and unable to act for now." Li Tie said.

"Understood!"

Seeing his subordinates leave to handle the matter, Li Tie snapped his fingers, and a sexy, alluring woman walked out from a side room, smiling as she sat on Li Tie's lap. Li Tie's left hand caressed her right breast, and his right hand touched between her legs, moving up and down.

"Why don't you just send people to eliminate the Ye family and report to the police? That's so unbecoming of you!" the alluring woman asked with a light smile.

"Xiaoqing, you understand me, but there are some things you won't understand." Li Tie smiled.

Xiaoqing was Li Tie's mistress, a very smart woman. She had been with Li Tie for a year, and they were inseparable. From the fact that they had sex three or four times a day, it was clear that Li Tie liked her. In the past, Li Tie would change women every few days, but Xiaoqing had been with him for a year without being killed, showing her intelligence, which was more than just good in bed.

"Can you tell me? I want to learn more so I can help you in the future!" Xiaoqing kissed Li Tie's forehead and said.

Li Tie smiled, his left hand squeezing Xiaoqing's breast a bit harder, and he heard a seductive moan. Then he said, "The events of the past few days are all a bit off. I've also heard about Ye Tianchen. Whether he's a real wastrel or has been pretending for twenty years, he's worth being cautious. I don't want to be a scapegoat or a sacrifice."

"Your point is that Ye Tianchen's return has changed the situation of the Ye family, making it not as easy to deal with them as before?" Xiaoqing asked intelligently.

"Exactly. The old Ye family had no pillar, but the current Ye family might change because of Ye Tianchen. I, Li Tie, am not as high-ranking as some big shots, but I trust my judgment. Just by Ye Tianchen's bold move to beat up Luo Lei, it's clear that he's not the same as before. Dealing with the Ye family won't be easy." Li Tie nodded.

In fact, Li Tie had his subordinates report to the police to investigate the deaths of Chen Hu and the others to gauge Ye Tianchen's strength. He wanted to see if Ye Tianchen had really become formidable or was just pretending. If the police could take care of Ye Tianchen, Li Tie wouldn't have to take the risk.

Li Tie's dominance in the underground world of Kyoto was due to his cautious nature. Kyoto was a melting pot of hidden dragons and tigers, and a single misstep could lead to death. Now that Ye Tianchen had become unpredictable, acting rashly could lead to the same fate as Chen Hu. Li Tie wouldn't risk his life or be a stepping stone for the Qin family.

"I've also heard about Ye Tianchen. Do you think he was pretending to be a fool and a playboy for twenty years, or did he suddenly become powerful?" Xiaoqing asked.

"Regardless, we can't act against the Ye family without first dealing with Ye Tianchen. Luo Songcheng is very protective, and I believe he's just biding his time and won't let it go." Li Tie said with a sinister smile.

It must be said that Li Tie's ability to become the head of the underground world in Kyoto was due to his cunning. He always let others take the risks and be the cannon fodder, while he waited in the shadows. However, this time, would he be able to outsmart Ye Tianchen?

"I heard the Luo family has hired Wu Xue to secretly kill Ye Tianchen!" Xiaoqing said.

"Hmm? How did you know that?" Li Tie was suddenly puzzled, looking at his mistress with suspicion. He realized that sometimes, this woman's information seemed more reliable than his own, which was unusual.

Seeing Li Tie's change in expression, Xiaoqing was also stunned but quickly smiled and said, "Everyone in Kyoto knows about Ye Tianchen and the Luo family. Everyone knows Luo Songcheng is very protective and will take action. Many people are watching this drama, so any move by the Luo family will be known."

Li Tie frowned, looking at his mistress. Feeling his right hand becoming wet, his mind became unstable, and he said with a lecherous smile, "It seems my decision is correct. The Luo family is more powerful than the Ye family, and Luo Songcheng is very strong and protective. If even he dares not act openly and has to hire Wu Xue secretly, it shows that Ye Tianchen cannot be underestimated."

"I'm just wondering if Wu Xue can kill Ye Tianchen. There are rumors that Ye Tianchen has become very powerful." Xiaoqing said.

"That's hard to say. Wu Xue is the top killer in Kyoto, a master of ancient martial arts. It's hard to find someone who can match him. From what I know, Wu Xue has always been victorious in his missions. No one has ever escaped his blade. Even if Ye Tianchen is powerful, I doubt he can match Wu Xue." Li Tie smiled.

"I hope Wu Xue can kill Ye Tianchen. That would make things easier for you." Xiaoqing also smiled.

"Let's not worry about that. I won't act rashly until I know more about Ye Tianchen. My right hand is wet, and I'm sure you are too. Let's get to business!"

Li Tie picked up Xiaoqing and carried her into the adjacent room, where they engaged in intimate activities.
