Chapter 368: Chapter 329: Pointed by Thousands (Part 1)

Compared to the Hong Qiang Courtyard, which symbolizes the pinnacle of power, the threshold of the Ye Family Mansion is not any lower.

For one, the Ye Family is now undisputedly the premier family in Huaxia, and more importantly, the Ye Family Mansion houses the elder who witnessed a century of Huaxia’s ups and downs and elevated the Ye Family to the pinnacle of power through sheer perseverance and wisdom.

That elder is the stabilizer of the Ye Family and also the only remaining first-generation hero in Huaxia!

Generally speaking, the height of a threshold and the degree of stringent security are directly proportional.

The threshold of the Ye Family Mansion is no lower than that of the Hong Qiang Courtyard, so naturally, its security force is equally formidable—from the main road leading to the alley, to the entrance of the alley, then to the front gate of the Ye Family Mansion, and finally inside the mansion, there are five security lines both overt and covert.

Among them, there are guards dispatched by the organization, members of the Yanhuang Organization, and expert martial artists sent by the Ye Family itself, numbering over fifty.

In early January in Yanjing, the winter season meant early nightfall; by nine o’clock, darkness had completely enveloped the land.

Under the cover of night, at the entrance of the alley where the Ye Family Mansion is located, there is a car with a special Yanhuang Organization license plate parked.

In the car, Ye Long, covered in blood, lay on the back seat, staring blankly at the ceiling of the car.

Ye Cang sat in the driver’s seat, staring intently at the road leading to the alley entrance, waiting for the arrival of the Ye Family members.

Four martial artists responsible for guarding the Ye Family Mansion wisely stayed in the dark, not daring to approach and disturb Ye Long and Ye Cang.

Soon, under Ye Cang’s watchful gaze, a Mercedes S700 was the first to drive toward them.

The approaching Mercedes S700 did not have a special license plate like the car Ye Long and Ye Cang were in, but several impressive passes were piled under the right windshield.

It is no exaggeration to say that in the vast land of Huaxia, there are few courtyards that this car cannot enter; on the contrary, they are few and far between.

In the Mercedes S700, Qin Yan, who manages a state enterprise, also knew that tonight’s matter was extraordinary and didn’t dare let her assistant drive; instead, she drove here herself.

The roadside lights shone through the car window, illuminating Qin Yan’s well-maintained face, and one could clearly see anger filling that face.

Soon, when the Mercedes S700 stopped in front of the car where Ye Long and Ye Cang were sitting, Ye Cang quickly pushed open the door and got out, while simultaneously, a security officer flashed out from the dark to conduct a routine check.

Although they recognized that the car belonged to Qin Yan, according to the rules, even if it was Ye Zhen’s car arriving here, it still required an inspection to verify that the people inside were Ye Family members.

If they weren’t Ye Family members, entering would require the approval of Ye Yuanshan’s personal secretary.

Seeing only Qin Yan inside the car, the security officer silently merged back into the darkness, while Ye Cang shouted towards Qin Yan, "Mom!"

"Xiao... Xiao Cang, are you alright?"

Qin Yan saw Ye Cang’s face swollen and his right hand bloody, and with a heart full of distress, she walked towards him.

"Brother Ye Long had his colleague use a Golden Healing Pill to reattach my fingers, but I still can’t move them for now," Ye Cang said, raising his right hand wrapped in gauze around his little finger.

"Phew~"

Hearing this, Qin Yan sighed in relief, "That’s good. By the way, where is your Brother Ye Long?"

"In the car," Ye Cang said.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yan didn’t say anything more and quickly walked towards Ye Long.

In the rear seat of the car, although Ye Long had stopped his injuries with a Golden Healing Pill, he was unable to move due to tendons sliced in his hands and feet, along with too many wounds on his body, and he just lay curled up in the back seat.

"Ss~"

Even though Qin Yan had already been informed that Ye Long was beaten bloody, seeing his sorry state still made her gasp in shock.

"Third Aunt, you’re here," Ye Long said expressionlessly.

"Mhm."

For some reason, hearing Ye Long’s unemotional words and seeing his lifeless eyes, Qin Yan felt a chill in her heart. She nodded and said, "Your parents will be here soon, and the others are on their way too, including your uncle and your grandfather."

Hearing Qin Yan’s words, Ye Long was about to say something when, with his hearing far superior to ordinary people’s, he distinctly heard another car approaching.

Qin Yan didn’t hear the sound, but she saw the lights and immediately turned to look.

Soon, a large-displacement Hongqi H7 with a Yanjing City Party Committee license plate stopped at the mouth of the alley, and Ye Wenhai and Gu Mei, the couple, got out of the car one after the other.

The two paid no mind to the security personnel who came forward for the check and walked briskly towards the car where Ye Long was sitting.

"Uncle, Aunt,"

"Brother, Sister-in-law,"

As the two approached, Ye Cang and Qin Yan greeted them in succession.

Ye Wenhai paused, giving a slight nod, while Gu Mei, unable to wait, rushed to the car’s rear door.

The rear door was open, and with the help of the light, Gu Mei immediately saw the terrible condition of Ye Long.

"Xiao... Xiao Long!"

Seeing her son covered in blood with wounds everywhere, Gu Mei felt the world spinning before bending down and crying out with outstretched hands.

"Mom, I’m fine, don’t cry," Ye Long said, feeling somewhat irritated as he saw his mother in tears, while the hatred in his heart for Ye Fan soared to a terrifying level.

"Your injuries are too severe; you still need to go to the hospital,"

At that moment, Ye Wenhai also approached Gu Mei. Seeing Ye Long’s ghastly condition, the rage in his eyes burned fiercely, but he still forcibly suppressed his anger and said in a stern voice.

"No rush, it’s not too late to go after we have the results."

Ye Long said somberly, as if to him, punishing Ye Fan was far more important than going to the hospital for treatment.

"That... that bastard is just too cruel and ruthless, he should be sent to the Eighteen Layers of Hell!"

Gu Mei, looking at the crisscrossed scars on Ye Long’s body, roared in grief and anger, wishing to grind Ye Fan’s bones to dust right then and there.

Seeing Gu Mei lose control, Ye Wenhai raised an eyebrow and said in a deep voice, "How to deal with him, I’m sure dad and grandpa will decide."

"Huff... Huff..."

Reminded by Ye Wenhai, Gu Mei woke up as if from a nightmare, panting heavily while trying to control her emotions.

Meanwhile, Qin Yan’s heart stirred, vaguely guessing the implication behind Ye Wenhai’s words.

She didn’t mind.

Because... in her view, if Ye Wenhao really did step forward to protect Ye Fan, completely disregarding Ye Cang, then even if Ye Wenhao were to reach the peak, it would be meaningless to her and Ye Cang!

A few minutes later, Ye Wenling, alone, drove a Bentley business car to the entrance of the alley. Her husband, Lu Zheng, because of his minor role in the Ye Family and fear of offending people, did not dare to get involved and did not accompany Ye Wenling.

"This damn bastard, he’s completely trying to kill Xiao Long!"

Ye Wenling got out of the car, first greeted Ye Wenhai, Gu Mei couple, and Qin Yan, then sorrowfully examined Ye Cang’s injuries, and finally, seeing Ye Long lying covered in blood in the back seat of the car, unable to move, burst out raging, "We must get dad and grandpa to throw him into jail!"

Facing Ye Wenling’s furious scolding, everyone kept silent.

Unable to hold back her anger, Ye Wenling then questioned Qin Yan, "By the way, sister-in-law, does Third Brother know about this? Is he still thinking of standing up for that bastard?"

"I don’t know."

Qin Yan shook her head, her face somewhat ugly, but she understood that given Ye Wenhao’s emphasis on Ye Fan, he would definitely step in if he knew about this.

"Sister-in-law, don’t worry. If Third Brother dares to protect that bastard, we will all stand by you. I want to see whether we all together matter more or he cares more about that bastard!" Ye Wenling declared resolutely.

"Mm."

Qin Yan nodded slightly.

At the same time, two more cars approached, one of which bore a military license plate, and the other bore a special department license plate.

The cars stopped, and the Ye Wenjun couple and Ye Wenjun’s couple alighted from the cars and walked towards everyone.

Like Ye Wenling, they first greeted everyone and then checked the injuries of Ye Cang and Ye Long, and were furious over Ye Fan’s ’beastly’ behavior.

"I’ve already told dad, and he will be here soon. We’ll wait for him and then go to see grandpa together." Seeing that all the third generation of the Ye Family, except for Ye Wenjun working in Jiangnan, had arrived, Ye Wentao started to suggest.

"Good."

Everyone agreed with Ye Wentao’s arrangement without any objections.

For, although Ye Wentao, being the oldest of the Ye Family’s third generation and for reasons of personality, capability, and military service, was not chosen as the successor, he was highly influential among the third generation of the Ye Family.

Just as Ye Wentao said, at this moment, the top-end Hongqi H8 sedan of Ye Zhen was on its way to Ye Family Mansion.

In the car, having already been informed, Ye Zhen, after leaving the office villa of the Hong Qiang Courtyard, did not rush to contact Ye Fan, instead, he carefully reviewed Ye Wentao’s report several times.

After making sure he knew every detail of the event like the back of his hand, Ye Zhen pulled down the car window shade, then took out his personal phone and dialed Ye Fan’s number.

"Old Ye."

The call connected quickly, and Ye Fan’s voice came through the receiver, sounding utterly different from the awe usually shown by other Ye Family members when facing Ye Zhen, it was just like usual, neither haughty nor humble.

"I’ve heard about tonight’s events, but it’s all their side of the story, so I’m skeptical. I want to hear from you about tonight’s events."

Unlike other Ye Family members, Ye Zhen did not rebuke Ye Fan but said that he doubted Ye Wentao’s report, so as to allow Ye Fan to speak about tonight’s events.

"Old Ye, if I’m not wrong, they must have already arrived at Ye Family Mansion by now, right?" Instead of answering Ye Zhen, Ye Fan countered with a question.

"Mm."

Ye Zhen nodded, his brow furrowing slightly, his expression subtly displeased.

In his view, even if Ye Fan had the Imperial Sword and collaborated with him and Ye Yuanshan, having harmed Ye Cang and Ye Long, he should still offer an explanation no matter what.

"Old Ye, a man’s promise is worth his weight in gold. Back then, since I promised you I wouldn’t actively trouble them, I surely kept my word."

Seemingly guessing what was on Ye Zhen’s mind, Ye Fan stated each word clearly, "As for tonight’s events, I’ll head to Ye Family Mansion later and offer you and the other senior an adequate explanation!"

"Alright."

Ye Zhen’s brow furrowed more tightly, yet a bad premonition rose within him— the truth of the matter would definitely not be as Ye Wentao had reported!
