Chapter 50

The Kyoto "Imperial Guard" is led by Iron Hammer of the Heavenly Dragon Group, tasked with maintaining the stability of Kyoto. This is because there are many powerful factions and prominent families in Kyoto, and the regular police departments are often powerless against them. Therefore, to restrain these families and factions from acting lawlessly, the higher-ups decided to have the Heavenly Dragon Group maintain the security of Kyoto.

Luo Songcheng’s two grandsons, Luo Tao and Luo Lei, were indeed killed by Wu Xue. Luo Songcheng, who is known for being overly protective and ruthless, would not let Ye Tianchen off. In his extreme anger, Luo Songcheng quickly decided that this time he would not only kill Ye Tianchen but also wipe out the Ye family. He brought his loyal troops and called upon Iron Hammer of the Heavenly Dragon Group, intending to rush to the Ye family’s old residence and kill the Ye family members without hesitation. With Iron Hammer present, he believed the higher-ups would not do anything to him, showing his extreme cruelty.

With a kick, Ye Tianchen didn’t care about these soldiers or the guns they held. When they dared to block his way into the old residence, he kicked one of them away. As the other soldier with a gun prepared to point it at Ye Tianchen’s head, he was also kicked away.

The reason Ye Tianchen rushed in so urgently was not to save the other people in the Ye family’s old residence, but because his father, Ye Hong, was inside. Everyone believed that Luo Lei and Luo Tao were killed by him, so Luo Songcheng would certainly blame him. Since Ye Tianchen was not at the old residence, his father Ye Hong was there, and Luo Songcheng would not let him off. Therefore, Ye Tianchen rushed in so urgently.

Before his mother, Luo Yan, could react, Ye Tianchen had already kicked the two armed soldiers away and pulled her toward the reception hall of the Ye family’s old residence.

One of the soldiers who was kicked away by Ye Tianchen raised his submachine gun and aimed at Ye Tianchen’s back, ready to fire, but was stopped by another soldier.

"Don’t be rash. If we really kill Ye Tianchen, we might end up taking the blame."

The soldier with the submachine gun gritted his teeth and finally put it down. His comrade was right. No matter what, the Ye family still had some influence in Kyoto. After all, Ye Yuanshan had once held power. If Luo Songcheng killed Ye Tianchen, it might not be a big deal, but if they shot Ye Tianchen, given Luo Songcheng’s despicable character, the higher-ups would likely pin the blame on them, which would be a grave injustice.

At this moment, in the reception hall of the Ye family’s old residence, Luo Songcheng, Iron Hammer, Ye Yuanshan, Ye Hong, Ye Mu Bai, and Ye He Guo all looked at each other with grim faces. The hall was filled with a thick tension. Luo Songcheng glared at Ye Hong, wishing he could shoot him and then kill Ye Tianchen.

Slam!

Luo Songcheng slapped the coffee table and stood up, saying fiercely, "Old Master Ye, I won’t beat around the bush. My two grandsons, Luo Lei and Luo Tao, were killed by your grandson Ye Tianchen. I have nothing more to say. Hand over Ye Tianchen, and let him pay with his life. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless!"

Hearing Luo Songcheng’s words, Ye Yuanshan frowned. When he was in power, his position was much higher than Luo Songcheng’s. Now that he had retired, it was indeed true that people forget you once you’re gone. Luo Songcheng, who was actually his junior, dared to speak to him like this. In the past, ten Luo Songchengs wouldn’t have been enough to challenge him. It seemed he had to accept his old age!

"Deputy Commander Luo, I think this matter needs to be investigated. I believe my grandson would not do such a thing," Ye Yuanshan said with a smile.

"Wouldn’t? Old Master Ye, the evidence is irrefutable. I can tell you here and now that if the Ye family doesn’t hand over Ye Tianchen today, I will have to kill your descendants to avenge my two grandsons!" Luo Songcheng said arrogantly.

"You... Luo Songcheng, you are too presumptuous. Even though I have retired and haven’t been involved in politics for years, if you dare to use a gun in my Ye family, your Luo family will not come out of this well!"

Ye Yuanshan was also enraged. Even if the Ye family was in decline, no one dared to be so presumptuous in the Luo family, disregarding his presence. Now, Luo Songcheng not only brought troops to surround the entire Ye family but also wanted to massacre them. Anyone, no matter how good-tempered, would be unable to tolerate this.

"Hmph, Old Master Ye, if it weren’t for your seniority, I wouldn’t even bother talking to you. I, Luo Songcheng, am not to be trifled with. Ye Tianchen, who doesn’t know his place, dared to kill my two grandsons. Even the heavens cannot save him. He must die today!" Luo Songcheng shouted, tearing off his mask.

"Brother Songcheng, I think there’s a misunderstanding. Although Tianchen is somewhat reckless, I don’t believe he would dare to kill your two grandsons. I think we should investigate this matter!" Ye Hong said, not believing it.

Regardless of whether his son Ye Tianchen did it or not, Ye Hong would not believe it. That was his son, and as a father, he would naturally stand by his son. If it were confirmed that Ye Tianchen really killed Luo Songcheng’s two grandsons, Ye Tianchen would be doomed. Ye Hong naturally did not want to see that.

Luo Songcheng glanced at Ye Hong, suddenly pulled out a gun, and pointed it at Ye Hong’s forehead, saying fiercely, "Ye Hong, you failed to discipline your son. Since Ye Tianchen won’t show up, I will start with you. I will kill you first to make Ye Tianchen taste the pain of losing a loved one."

No one expected Luo Songcheng to be so violent and arrogant, actually pulling out a gun. He seemed ready to shoot Ye Hong. Seeing this, Ye Yuanshan was stunned, and Ye Mu Bai and Ye He Guo were even more frightened, their faces pale, not daring to say a word. Even Iron Hammer, who had been silent, was shocked. He hadn’t expected Luo Songcheng to really dare to kill in the Ye family.

"Brother Luo, this matter needs to be investigated. It’s a serious issue. If it wasn’t Ye Tianchen, it would be a big problem!" Iron Hammer hurriedly reminded Luo Songcheng.

"Hmph, there’s solid evidence. Lei and Tao’s room has Ye Tianchen’s handwriting on the wall. He can’t deny it. I will kill Ye Hong first, then Ye Tianchen, to avenge my two grandsons," Luo Songcheng said coldly.

"Wait, Luo Songcheng. The military committee is about to hold an election. If you kill in my Ye family, even if you are in the right, it might affect your career. Think carefully!" Ye Yuanshan said sternly.

Luo Songcheng frowned. He had already thought about this when he came. He wanted to kill the Ye family members before the higher-ups got involved. At worst, he could say he acted out of grief over losing two beloved grandsons. With Iron Hammer, the leader of the Heavenly Dragon Group, as a witness, if such a big incident happened and Iron Hammer didn’t speak up for him, he would also be implicated. This was why Luo Songcheng brought Iron Hammer and the Heavenly Dragon Group’s elite.

However, Ye Yuanshan’s words were not without merit. Even though Luo Songcheng lost two grandsons, he still had other descendants. It wasn’t just Luo Lei and Luo Tao. With the power of the Luo family, dealing with the Ye family would be more than enough. But this military committee election was probably his last chance to enter the committee. If he didn’t seize this opportunity, it would be very difficult to elevate the Luo family further.

"I will count to three. If you don’t hand over Ye Tianchen, don’t blame my gun for being blind..."

"One!" Luo Songcheng shouted.

"Luo, Brother Luo, this has nothing to do with us two. It was all Ye Tianchen’s doing. If you want to avenge your grandsons, go after him!" Ye Mu Bai, frightened, hurriedly said.

"Two!"

"Three, Brother Hong, you failed to discipline your son. Ye Tianchen is so disrespectful. Why are you protecting him? Hand him over to Brother Luo to deal with, so he doesn’t get angry..." Ye He Guo hurriedly scolded Ye Hong.

Hearing his two brothers’ words, Ye Hong was also angry. They always scolded and marginalized him, but for the sake of their father, Ye Yuanshan, and his desire for family harmony, he didn’t argue. He believed that no matter what, they were still family, and blood was thicker than water.

Who knew that Ye Mu Bai and Ye He Guo would be so useless in this situation? The Ye family had once been glorious, but now they were being attacked, surrounded, and forced to hand over someone, or they would be killed. This was utterly humiliating.

"Go ahead and shoot. Whether or not it was my son, I, as a father, will take full responsibility!" Ye Hong said, glaring at Luo Songcheng.

"Good, good, Ye Hong, I will kill you first, then go after that little bastard Ye Tianchen..."

As Luo Songcheng spoke, his right index finger slowly moved toward the trigger. He had come with the intention of a massacre, determined to wipe out the Ye family, to show the powerful factions and prominent families in Kyoto not to provoke him. He planned to kill all the Ye family members, making it clear how powerful the Luo family was.

Ye Hong closed his eyes, waiting for the bullet to pierce his heart. He didn’t know if his son Ye Tianchen had really killed Luo Songcheng’s two grandsons, but what he was thinking about now was not his own safety, but praying that his son wouldn’t appear, no matter what. Perhaps this was the great love hidden in a father’s heart.

This time, everyone could see that Luo Lei and Luo Tao had provoked Ye Tianchen first, and he had acted in self-defense. However, Luo Songcheng was extremely protective, and regardless of any reason, even if the Luo family was in the wrong, he would still kill Ye Tianchen to avenge his grandsons. He brought dozens of armed soldiers to surround the entire Ye family’s old residence, intending to massacre them. He called Iron Hammer, the leader of the Heavenly Dragon Group, to have an alibi if the higher-ups investigated, pulling Iron Hammer into the mess.

Bang!

The gun went off...
