Chapter 998: Chapter 664: I Clearly Moved My Foot (Second Update)

"Ye Xiwen, did you really do this?" Ye Jianfeng stood in front of Ye Xiwen, a few meters apart. The recent events had made him wary of getting too close.

At this moment, it didn’t matter whether Mu Lin was present or not, not to mention that the Divine Doctor Mu obviously wasn’t someone who would take his side; as for those partners from the past and present, they were just coldly watching from the sidelines.

"If I said no, Father, I doubt you would believe me. So is it really important to ask this question?" she said sarcastically, staring at the somewhat haggard and disheveled man before her. It was Ye Xiwen’s first time seeing Ye Jianfeng like this, but she felt no sympathy for him; once upon a time, she had been far more pitiable than he was.

And he, who always maintained such a sanctimonious demeanor, now stripped of it, was actually more pleasing to the eye.

If Ye Xiwen had any lingering affections for Ye Jianfeng, they were completely severed by what she had witnessed tonight.

To her, the man before her was one of the culprits responsible for her mother’s death, even if he had not physically contributed or even known the truth.

Seeing the coldness in his daughter’s eyes, Ye Jianfeng didn’t even know how to react.

Today’s events had dealt him too many blows. He had never imagined that his deceased wife had been the victim of foul play.

But now wasn’t the time to delve into these matters. He just hoped his daughter could, in light of their past twenty years of father-daughter relationship, retract that projection and not continue any further.

Because he did not know what other unbearable scenes might come next.

He had even forgotten the things he had done... What other misdeeds he had committed against his wife and child.

There was more.

"Xiwen, consider it your father pleading with you." Now, at last, he remembered he was a father, "This must not go on any longer today." It truly could not continue, he had no face left to remain here, his image completely shattered; what’s more, he feared what more horrendous things might be revealed next, and then what would become of him...

However, the response didn’t come from Ye Xiwen, but from Mu Lin standing by her side. Youyou stepped forward, lifting her eyes to glimpse Ye Jianfeng with a mocking smile playing on her lips, "Why stop now when the show has just begun?" How could they allow it to end so easily?

In truth, she had already exposed everything that needed to be made public. But it appeared the man before her was still afraid of something...

Mu Lin frowned.

What exactly was it?

Ye Jianfeng stared blankly at Mu Lin. "Divine Doctor Mu..." So that was it.

No wonder. How could Xiwen possess such great leverage to obtain these materials? If the mastermind behind all this was Mu Lin, then everything made sense.

"Why?" He couldn’t understand. He hadn’t offended her, had he? Was it because of her sister?

No matter how he thought, he couldn’t figure it out.

"You’re asking me why?" Mu Lin cocked her head as if in deep thought. Next moment, she kindly offered a hint. Approaching a step closer, she tilted her mouth with deliberate casualness, whispering so only the two of them could hear, "Don’t you know that the moment you snatched Ye Zi from us to hurt and use her, you had already offended our entire... Special Forces?"

Behind the scenes, in the Special Forces where children of aristocratic families abound, picking any of their families at random could crush the so-called Ye family like an ant.

Having said that, she unhesitatingly stepped back without acknowledging the stunned expression on his face, and calmly continued, "Director Ye, I think you don’t need me to remind you that some things belonging to Ye Zi have been occupied by you, your current wife and daughter, for quite long enough. It’s time to return them to Ye Zi." Possessing what doesn’t belong to oneself for too long—harms the body.

Mu Lin gave a cold smile. "Consider today’s events a tiny bit of interest I’m collecting on behalf of our family’s Ye Zi. After all, the suffering and injustices Ye Zi has endured couldn’t possibly be compensated by such trifles! Regarding Ye Zi, if you don’t cherish her, rest assured there are plenty who would risk their lives to do so. You don’t love her, and our Ye Zi certainly doesn’t lack your fatherly affection. Should she wish it, the genealogies of the Jing Family and the Gong Family are ready to include her name at any time. I believe the elders of our two families would be very pleased indeed."

For Jing Family’s elder, he was actually quite familiar with Ye Xiwen because she was one of the few female friends Mu Lin had, and of course, one he greatly admired.

The ability to enter Special Forces on her own merits, everything about them deserved acknowledgment.

As for Elder Gong, he would probably agree to whatever Mu Lin said without hesitation.

What difference did blood relations make? Since Mu Lin approved of her, those things were inconsequential. Furthermore, all of the Gong Family would eventually belong to Mu Lin.

Staring at Mu Lin, Ye Jianfeng murmured disbelievingly, "Impossible!" The Jing Family, the Gong Family—what kind of families were they? Their family trees would never allow an outsider to enter.

Ye Jianfeng told himself this, but even he could not convince himself.

Mu Lin’s words struck a chord in the hearts of all present.

The Jing Family, the Gong Family! They wouldn’t even dare to dream of having even the slightest connection with the pinnacle families of China. Had Ye Xiwen saved the Milky Way in her past life or saved Mu Lin, and now Mu Lin had come to repay the favor?

How wildly imaginative.

Yet, the most thrilling part was still to come.

"As long as the lady likes it, why not?"
