Chapter 494: Chapter 494: The One Involved is Bewildered

Not only was Ye Lan furious, but the rest of the Ye Family were also very angry at Ye Tiannan’s actions of selling out the family in order to save his own life.

However, due to Qin Chuan’s dominance, the members of the Ye Family were only angry but did not dare to speak out. Only Ye Lan couldn’t contain her rage.

Ye Tiannan hurriedly urged, "Auntie, you’re at an age where you should be covered by yellow earth up to your neck. Isn’t it better to enjoy your old age in peace? As for the affairs of the Ye Family, leave them to me."

Ye Lan retorted angrily, "In your dreams! Not to mention whether you can compete with Ye Tiancheng or not, even if you win, do you think your father would hand over the position of Family Head to you after what you’ve just said?"

Hearing Ye Lan’s words, Ye Tiannan’s gaze gradually grew colder.

He knew she was right, but if he didn’t speak as he did now, would Qin Chuan let him go?

This foolish old thing, does she really think I want to sell the Ye Family for the sake of my life?

Even if I were willing, would the older elders of the Ye Family just stand by and watch an outsider become the Ye Family Patriarch?

Qin Chuan looked at Ye Tiannan with a mocking expression and said, "It seems like your aunt doesn’t agree, how about we kill her?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Ye Lan, who was kneeling on the ground, shuddered, her face filled with terror.

She knew that Qin Chuan really dared to kill her. Now, as she knelt there, it felt as though a mountain was pressing down on her shoulders, it was impossible even to think of getting up.

Ye Tiannan was also shocked. Was he serious?

How should he answer this question?

If he refused, would this beast kill him?

If he agreed, would he really kill his aunt?

At this moment, Ye Tiannan was in extreme turmoil. Although he detested Ye Lan’s foolishness, he had never thought about killing her.

Ye Lan’s husband had died to save Ye Zhong, and because of this, Ye Zhong always felt a debt to his sister and doted on her greatly. He had even made her the Great Elder, the real second-in-command power broker of the Ye Family.

Thinking of this, Ye Tiannan’s heart grew even more chaotic.

Qin Chuan seemed to be asking for his opinion, but in reality, he was digging a pit for him. If Ye Tiannan answered that he wanted to kill Ye Lan, would the people of the Ye Family let him go? Would his father, Ye Zhong, let him go?

But if his answer was that he did not want to kill Ye Lan, would Qin Chuan kill him?

Ye Qingwan, who had been tightly held by Qin Chuan’s hand all this time, felt very anxious. Although she had already contemplated cutting ties with the Ye Family, who weren’t very good to her, after her mother’s death in a foreign land, it was Ye Tiannan who had personally brought her back to the Ye Family where she grew up into an adult.

Morally and emotionally, she didn’t want anyone from the Ye Family to die at the hands of Qin Chuan. As for Pei Jing, in her eyes, she didn’t even deserve to be considered a member of the Ye Family.

But what should she do if Qin Chuan really decided to start a massacre in the Ye Family?

To tell the truth, she didn’t want to make any requests of Qin Chuan. After all, he had never taken the initiative to provoke the Ye Family. Instead, it was the Ye Family that had always targeted Qin Chuan, being aggressive and overbearing.

Her heart was in deep conflict.

"Don’t kill me! Don’t kill me!"

Suddenly, a voice filled with terror awakened everyone.

Ye Lan’s face turned as pale as death as she looked at Ye Qingwan and said, "Qingwan, your grandmother knows she was wrong. From the beginning, I shouldn’t have doubted your intentions to save your father and shouldn’t have credited Divine Doctor Qin’s work of healing your father to Hua Changsheng."

"I really know I was wrong! Didn’t you always help your father compete for the heir position? Have you forgotten that your grandmother was also helping your father?"

"We are all family; there’s no need to escalate the conflict to a life-and-death struggle. Please, help me and your father plead with Divine Doctor Qin."

Ye Lan’s words brought Ye Tiannan back to his senses, and he hurriedly said to Ye Qingwan, "Qingwan, have you forgotten your mother’s dying instructions? She said to never hate your father."

"Your father is sorry for what he did to your mother, and even though that’s the case, your mother still chose to forgive me. Can’t you?"

Ye Qingwan’s body suddenly trembled, her eyes instantly reddening.

Qin Chuan silently sighed, sensing the emotions surging through Ye Qingwan. He knew that she didn’t want to be at odds with the Ye Family, but their actions had thoroughly disappointed her.

Purposely not looking at Ye Qingwan, Qin Chuan wanted to see just how much she felt for the Ye Family.

Some things were clear to him, but not necessarily to Ye Qingwan.

The player is lost while the spectator is clear; this was the case for him and Ye Qingwan.

He had no doubts that if he were ever in trouble, the Ye Family would be the first to kick him while he was down, and Ye Qingwan would be the first family member they targeted.

Because in Ye Tiannan’s gaze, he didn’t see any hint of a father’s affection for his daughter, even a hard-to-detect malice.

Is this how a normal father should react to his daughter?

But Ye Qingwan didn’t know this.

"Qin Chuan, I..."

Finally, Ye Qingwan mustered up the courage, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked at Qin Chuan. She wanted to plead but simply couldn’t bring herself to say it.

Qin Chuan understood what she meant but didn’t take the initiative to speak, waiting for Ye Qingwan to express her own wishes.

Ye Lan and Ye Tiannan were both filled with anticipation, with Ye Tiannan urging impatiently, "Qingwan, speak up!"

Ye Lan urged as well, "Qingwan, say it quickly. You don’t want your grandfather and your father to die, right? Speak your mind!"

A flicker of annoyance appeared in Qin Chuan’s eyes, thoroughly vexed by their hypocrisy.

Ye Qingwan finally gathered the courage, guiltily looking at Qin Chuan and said, "Can you spare my grandmother and father?"

Qin Chuan was somewhat disappointed but understood. Without any hesitation, he simply responded with one word, "Okay."

"I..."

Ye Qingwan lowered her head, getting the answer she wanted but feeling far from happy. She tightly clutched Qin Chuan’s hand but didn’t know what to say.

Her heart was in turmoil, and she was scared, afraid that Qin Chuan would suddenly let go of her hand and walk away.

Qin Chuan said softly, "You’ve just made a decision that any daughter would make. There’s nothing wrong with that, and you needn’t feel guilty."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingwan’s emotions could no longer be contained, and tears streamed down uncontrollably.

Qin Chuan coldly glanced at Ye Tiannan and said, "Here’s something for you to consider: ’Heaven may forgive a sin one commits unknowingly, but one cannot live through sins committed of one’s own volition.’"

"Thank you, Mr. Qin! Thank you, Mr. Qin!"

Ye Tiannan hurriedly offered his thanks.

Ye Lan felt the oppressive aura lift and was overjoyed, eagerly saying, "Thank you, Mr. Qin. Rest assured, from now on, you’ll be a guest of the highest regard in the Ye Family, and we welcome you at any time!"

Qin Chuan paid no heed to him, instead turning to Ye Qingwan and said, "I’m leaving."

With that, he let go of Ye Qingwan’s hand and was about to leave.

But just then, several terrifying presences suddenly descended, enveloping Qin Chuan in an instant.
