The Chen family’s villa in River City remained brightly lit at night.
Chen Baoguo looked at all the information he was given on Ye Chen and frowned.
“This kid is actually Ye Tianzheng’s son? How could there be someone like this in the Ye family?”
Elder Ming also spoke up, “Master, the only problem now is the Heavenly Justice Group, as certain people have clearly stated their stance and will move to protect him.”
“If we kill this kid, there will definitely be trouble!”
Chen Baoguo’s eyes turned cold.
“So what if he has the backing of the Zhou family? This kid cares about the two women beside him, right? I’ll kidnap them myself and kill them in front of him! I’ll let him experience true despair!”
Elder Ming saw that the old man had already been blinded by anger. Quickly thinking of something, he said, “Master, I have an idea. Not only can we kill this kid in front of everyone and establish the glory of our Chen family, but we can also keep those people from retaliating!”
“Speak!”
“Since that kid is an ancient martial artist, why don’t you use a life-and-death duel challenge to force him to fight you? If you kill him in the duel, no one will be able to say anything. With Master’s strength, you will be able to kill him easily!”
Chen Baoguo’s eyes lit up, but he thought of something and said, “I can indeed crush this kid, but he knows this too. If he has a single working brain cell, he won’t accept the challenge.”
Elder Ming smiled sinisterly. “It’s not up to him to decide. If we threaten him with the women by his side, he will be forced to accept the challenge!”
Chen Baoguo narrowed his eyes. Although this was despicable, revenge was more important!
At this moment, a dignified voice suddenly rang out, “How about you count me in on this plan to deal with Ye Chen?”
Chen Baoguo’s expression changed when he heard the voice. He was a grandmaster, but had not sensed this person’s presence until now!
How was this possible?
A few seconds later, the door was pushed open. A middle-aged man in a long robe appeared in front of Chen Baoguo and Elder Ming.
When they saw this man, their pupils constricted!
Jiang Yuanli!
More importantly, why did Jiang Yuanli come here uninvited?
Chen Baoguo was not angry at all. In terms of strength, Jiang Yuanli was not necessarily weaker than him. He cupped his hands and said, “Grandmaster Jiang, what brings you here?”
Jiang Yuanli walked straight to the sofa and sat opposite Chen Baoguo. His eyes swept across Ye Chen’s photo on the table.
Then, he pressed his finger on the photo. The force behind his finger actually passed through the photo and poked a hole into the marble table beneath it.
Then, he said indifferently, “I’m here for this kid!””
Jiang Yuanli had used almost all of his influence and connections over the past few days. Although all of the surveillance camera footage had been erased, he had still found out that the culprit behind the death of Jiang Wenlin was Ye Chen!
Not only that, when he was investigating, he accidentally discovered that another force was also investigating this little b*stard, which turned out to be the grandmaster who had just returned, Chen Baoguo.
After some research, he realized that Chen Baoguo was also seeking revenge on Ye Chen. Therefore, he was here to form a partnership.
Chen Baoguo looked at the mark on the marble table and his eyes lit up. He probed, “Does Grandmaster Jiang have a grudge against this kid?”
Jiang Yuanli snorted coldly.
Hearing this, Chen Baoguo was stunned. He slammed his palm on the table and said, “Good! Since that’s the case, from today onward, the Chen family and the Jiang family are allies!”
Jiang Yuanli nodded. This was the result he wanted.
“Oh right, I heard just now that you were going to issue a challenge to duel this kid?”
“That’s right. This is the only way to deal with him openly it seems,” Chen Baoguo said gloomily.
Jiang Yuanli’s eyes flashed with killing intent as he added, “I have a better plan. I’ve found out that this guy is currently living in the Grand City apartment complex. There are two girls living with him, who are probably his lovers. How about we send someone to kidnap one of them?”
“That will force him to go and save her personally. Firstly, we can understand how strong he is. Secondly, I want this kid to be tortured! Killing him in a duel is too easy of a death for him. He has to die a cruel death!”
“My Jiang family is willing to dispatch three experts to do this!”
Chen Baoguo pondered this matter for a few seconds, then looked at the disciples behind him. He made up his mind and said, “Good! I’m willing to send my four strongest disciples! I want to see how this kid puts up a fight!”

It was already midnight when Ye Chen and Sun Yi left Jiangbei University.
Although Ye Chen had treated Wang Yuhcng’s broken hand, Auntie Zhang was still a little worried. She and Uncle Wang brought Wang Yuhcng over to River City’s Orthopedic Hospital for a consultation.
Ye Chen could understand the couple’s concerns. After all, it would normally take a hundred days to recover from a serious injury. There was no way they would believe that Ye Chen’s brief actions had treated Wang Yuhcng completely.
After all, losing a hand was not a small matter. If it was not treated properly, it might ruin Wang Yuhcng’s future.
As Jiangbei University was located in a remote area, Sun Yi had been trying to book a taxi online for a long time, but no one had accepted her request. She regretted it a little. If she had known earlier, she would have driven her own car here.
“Forget it, let’s walk for a while. Maybe there will be taxis further ahead,” Ye Chen said.
“Alright.” Sun Yi nodded.
The wind was a little strong in the wee hours of the morning, so Ye Chen took off his coat and put it on Sun Yi.
Sun Yi’s body trembled. She glanced at Ye Chen, but did not say a word.
After some time, she suddenly said, “Ye Chen, it’s been five years. Why does it feel like you’re a stranger now? It’s like you’ve become another person. Just like how you broke the iron door just now. It was too unbelievable.”
Ye Chen stretched his body lazily and said calmly, “After so many years, I’ve understood one thing. There are only two ways to live. One either has to live by the rules imposed by others, or become an existence that can change the rules. I want to be the latter.”
Sun Yi muttered something softly. Just as she was about to ask something else, a taxi arrived.
“Over here! Stop!” Sun Yi waved her hand.
Soon, the taxi stopped in front of them.
