As the cherry blossoms danced in the wind, Misaki opened the old diary and read the words of the promise written there.
Xiaoming stood at the classroom door, took a deep breath, and firmly gripped the secret letter from his mother.
In the midst of the cherry blossoms dancing in the wind, Misaki opened the old diary and read the words of the promise written there.
"Damn it, just tell us, what did that kid Ye Tianchen write?"
"Yeah, don't keep us in suspense, what did he write?"
These young masters, who were originally very bored, spent their days eating, drinking, playing, gossiping, and chasing women. In the big melting pot of the capital, there were many kinds of news, but explosive news was rare. This time, the deaths of Luo Lei and Luo Tao would certainly become the biggest news in the capital in recent years, and might even cause a huge stir.
Anyone with a bit of influence knew that although the Luo family was not a top-tier family in the capital, the old man Luo Songcheng was always very protective. In recent years, the Luo family's development and power had been on the rise. Especially with the military committee's election, Luo Songcheng had a good chance of entering the military committee. At that time, the Luo family might become a top-tier family in the capital, and the Ye family would not be able to provoke them.
Many people knew that since the old man Ye Yuanshan retired, the Ye family's influence had been declining day by day. None of the three sons could carry the family's banner, and they were definitely no match for the Luo family. If Luo Songcheng really entered the military committee this time, the Ye family might face a family-wide disaster. If Ye Tianchen really killed Luo Lei and Luo Tao, the situation would be very serious.
Of course, these young masters were all watching the show. After all, there were many powerful families and major clans in the capital, and the competition was fierce. There would be many good shows to watch. Most people were biased towards the Luo family because the Ye family's influence was indeed not as strong as the Luo family's.
The fat man looked at everyone present, took a sip of tea, and then stood up to speak: "If Ye Tianchen really killed Luo Lei and Luo Tao, I think this wasteful and useless son of the Ye family might have really toughened up. His words were shocking, making one's spine chill!"
"Are you going to make us beat you up before you speak?"
"Don't keep us in suspense, just say it!"
"The words were: 'Those who provoke the Ye family and insult my friends, die! Signed, Ye Tianchen.' The fat man spoke as if he had done this big thing himself, with a hint of excitement.
Ye Tianchen couldn't help but shake his head with a mix of laughter and tears. It seemed that Wu Xue had some understanding of him. These words were indeed in line with his style and principles. If he had personally killed Luo Lei and Luo Tao, he would probably have written the same thing.
"This... Is this guy looking for death? To dare say such big words."
"Killed Luo Lei and Luo Tao and still dared to leave a message, too, too strong!"
"The Ye family's influence is far less than the Luo family's. If the Luo family uses their power to wipe out the Ye family, even the top officials in the country wouldn't dare to say much!"
"Ye Tianchen is looking for death, he will ruin the entire Ye family."
When the young masters heard the fat man's words about what Wu Xue had left after killing Luo Lei and Luo Tao, they all drew a sharp breath. Although their families were not very influential in the capital, they still had some understanding of the higher-ups. Luo Songcheng was always very aggressive, and the Ye family's influence had declined to a third-rate family. In terms of family power, they were absolutely no match for the Luo family. To say that Ye Tianchen could single-handedly fight the entire Luo family and turn the tide was something few people would believe.
"I actually find this Ye Tianchen quite interesting. He has been the laughingstock of the entire capital since he returned to the city, but his actions have always been full of confidence. If he really can fight the Luo family, it would be quite entertaining..." The fat man chuckled.
Ye Tianchen walked out of Beifeng Xuan, thinking about how to help Wu Xue rescue his adoptive father Yang Hai. He was a man of his word, and since he had promised Wu Xue that he would rescue his adoptive father if he killed Luo Lei and Luo Tao, he would definitely find a way to do it.
As soon as he walked out of Beifeng Xuan, Ye Tianchen's phone rang. It was a call from an unknown number. With a hint of confusion, he answered.
"Hello, who is this?" Ye Tianchen asked.
"It's me. Check if you are being followed or if there is any possibility of being eavesdropped on." A man's voice came from the other end of the line.
Ye Tianchen frowned and quickly looked around, using his special abilities to sense his surroundings. Finding nothing suspicious, he said, "Wu Xue, you helped me kill Luo Lei and Luo Tao. I will keep my promise and rescue your adoptive father!"
It turned out that the caller was Wu Xue, who had really gone to kill Luo Lei and Luo Tao last night and left a message according to Ye Tianchen's words, making it clear that the killer was Ye Tianchen, not Wu Xue.
"This can be postponed, no rush. I called to tell you that your Ye family is facing a family-wide disaster. It's best to prepare early!" Wu Xue's words were calm but carried a shocking atmosphere.
"Is Luo Songcheng preparing to make a move?" Ye Tianchen asked calmly.
"Yes, Luo Songcheng has sealed off the news to prepare for a sudden attack to wipe out your Ye family. He has already mobilized the 'Imperial Guard' of the capital, and they might be heading to your Ye family soon, ready to act first and report later!" Wu Xue said.
"Capital Imperial Guard? You mean the Tianlong Group?"
Mentioning the Tianlong Group, Ye Tianchen couldn't help but think of Tie Chui, the leader of the Tianlong Group. When he had carried Han Jie back, it was Tie Chui who had come to assist. The Tianlong Group was not only a very strong team directly led by the military leaders but also responsible for protecting the capital. The capital had many powerful families and major clans, and the security issues were very chaotic and difficult to handle. Some matters involving powerful families and major clans were beyond the reach of the police, so the Tianlong Group had to step in, directly responsible to the military and the highest leaders of the country. They were known as the Imperial Guard of the capital.
"Yes, their leader is Tie Chui, who is extremely strong, definitely stronger than me. Although he won't order any action against the Ye family, Luo Songcheng might secretly send people to act..." Wu Xue warned.
Ye Tianchen frowned. He hadn't expected Luo Songcheng to be so ruthless, using the Tianlong Group to target his Ye family. Each member of the Tianlong Group was battle-hardened. When Ye Tianchen first saw Tie Chui, he knew he was an expert, an expert among experts. If Tie Chui was persuaded by Luo Songcheng to go to the Ye family, and with Luo Songcheng's encouragement, a bloody conflict might break out.
"I understand, thank you!" Ye Tianchen said, regaining his composure.
"No need, you spared me and didn't kill me. By telling you this news, we are even!" Wu Xue said.
"After this matter is resolved, I will rescue your adoptive father!"
After hanging up, Ye Tianchen didn't waste any time and hurried home. He needed to tell his mother to find a safe place for her and his sister, as Luo Songcheng would definitely act ruthlessly. Before resolving this issue, he couldn't let his parents and sister be in any danger.
However, as soon as Ye Tianchen got home, he hadn't even had time to make up a story to get his mother and sister to go out for a few days when his mother pulled him out.
"Mom, what's going on?"
"Something big has happened. The old Ye family residence has been surrounded by troops. Grandfather called us to go there. Your father is already there!" Luo Yan said anxiously.
"What? Dad is already at the old Ye family residence?" Ye Tianchen asked, surprised.
"Yes, let's go quickly!"
Ye Tianchen never expected that his father, Ye Hong, was already at the old Ye family residence. The old Ye family residence being surrounded by troops was definitely Luo Songcheng's doing. Ye Tianchen had planned to go to the Luo family to confront Luo Songcheng, but he didn't expect the old man to act so quickly.
"Mom, when we get to the old residence, no matter what I do, don't ask any questions, or Dad might be in danger." Ye Tianchen thought for a moment and said with a determined look.
"I... I understand..." Luo Yan, though she didn't know why her son Ye Tianchen said this, could tell from his serious expression that the situation was serious. Since her son returned, he had brought her many surprises, and she gradually believed that he had truly grown up and was a man of integrity.
When Ye Tianchen and his mother Luo Yan arrived at the old Ye family residence, they found the entire place surrounded by armed soldiers. The situation was indeed very serious. Luo Songcheng had dared to bring troops to surround the old Ye family residence, clearly intending to wipe out the Ye family.
"Son, what... what's going on?" Luo Yan asked, looking at the armed soldiers everywhere, feeling nervous.
"Oh, Mom, it's nothing. Maybe an important leader has come. Don't be afraid, I'm here. Let's go in!" Ye Tianchen smiled at his mother Luo Yan.
As Ye Tianchen and Luo Yan approached the main gate of the old Ye family residence, they were stopped by two armed soldiers. One of them said coldly, "Who are you? You can't just go in here!"
"Do I need your permission to go to my own home?" Ye Tianchen said coldly.
"You... you are?" the other soldier asked, taken aback.
"Ye Tianchen."
The two armed soldiers guarding the gate were shocked when they heard Ye Tianchen's name. They were Luo Songcheng's men and knew the reason for the large-scale operation at the old Ye family residence. If Ye Tianchen wasn't handed over, Luo Songcheng was prepared to kill everyone. No one expected that Ye Tianchen would dare to come at this moment. Wasn't this like walking into a trap?
"What? You are Ye Tianchen? You actually dared to come!" one of the armed soldiers recovered and touched his gun, saying coldly.
"Why shouldn't I come? Get out of my way, I'm going to meet that old man Luo Songcheng!"
Ye Tianchen kicked the armed soldier blocking his way and pulled his mother Luo Yan inside.
