Xia Hongye frowned as he looked at the photo. Based on his understanding of Ye Chen’s martial strength, the latter was on the same level as Yuan Jingfu; within the top 350 of Huaxia’s grandmaster rankings.
Tang Haichen, who had been killed, was ranked 251st!
This gap was like a chasm.
He shook his head. He was probably thinking too much.
Ye Chen did not have the ability to do this. Even though he thought so, he still sent some messages to Xia Ruoxue.
If Xia Ruoxue and Ye Chen were together tonight, then this possibility was eliminated. Then…
Xia Hongye’s expression changed a little when he received her reply.
Ye Chen had just returned!
Could it really be him?
His forehead was covered in sweat, and his shirt was soaked.
Zhou Fulu, who was beside Xia Hongye, also narrowed his eyes.
He had come to attend the meeting on behalf of the Zhou family. When he saw the back of the man in the photo, the first person he thought of was Ye Chen.
The Jiangnan Province Martial Arts Association naturally could not connect the dots with just this photo, but those who had interacted with Ye Chen knew that Ye Chen’s aura and posture were completely different from others!
It was extremely easy to distinguish him from anyone else!
Zhou Fulu did his best to look inconspicuous. He planned to call Ye Chen after the meeting to ask about the situation.
As a friend, he did not want the person in the photo to be Ye Chen.
Tang Ao’s anger was not something that ordinary people could bear.
If Ye Chen really killed Tang Ao’s son, not only would his own life be in danger, the Xia family, and even the Zhou family, would be implicated!
In addition, Ma Wei Qi, who was standing beside Tang Ao, also noticed who was in the photo.
His heart was in turmoil. He did not expect Ye Chen to dare to touch Tang Ao’s son!
This was a slap to Tang Ao’s face!
However, even if he knew it was Ye Chen, he did not dare to say anything. Ye Chen’s blood essence was in his body, and he was destined to be a slave for the rest of his life.
Betraying Ye Chen would only result in death!
He glanced at Wu Qiyuan, the head of the Wu family, who was not far away. After all, the one who was most likely to recognize Ye Chen was this person.
Fortunately, Wu Qiyuan only thought that the person in the photo looked familiar and did not associate him with Ye Chen. He did not say anything either, so there should be no danger for the time being.
At this moment, Tang Ao appeared beside Ma Wei Qi and said coldly, “Ma Wei Qi, as a vice president, the important task of finding this kid will be yours! Are you confident?”
Ma Wei Qi’s expression changed and he quickly said seriously, “1 watched Yuanxuan grow up! I will find the culprit behind this incident at all costs!” “Good!” Tang Ao patted Ma Wei Qi’s shoulder, “I’ll give you three days to find this person! This person should still be in Jiangnan Province. Even if you have to search the entire Jiangnan Province, you have to find him!”
“Yes, President!”
In the wee hours of the morning, Mingcui villa was silent.
Ye Chen was cultivating with his legs crossed, and the entire room was filled with spiritual energy. His cultivation ;eve; was gradually rising.
Soon, his phone rang, interrupting his cultivation. Ye Chen’s eyes were filled with displeasure. Who would dare to call him at this ungodly hour?
He clenched his fist and the phone appeared in his palm. To his surprise, it was Ma Wei Qi from the Jiangnan Province Martial Arts Association.
The call went through.
“Mr. Ye, 1 have sent a photo to your phone. Tang Ao called for an emergency meeting today. During the next few days, he will use everything he has to find you. Mr. Ye, be careful.”
“Also, 1 feel that the Wu family might be suspicious of you, so please keep an eye out for them.”
The call ended.
Ye Chen glanced at the photo sent to him, but remained expressionless.
So what if Tang Ao found him?
The second tombstone of the Samsara Graveyard could be activated at any time. Tang Ao was dead meat!
Of course, Ye Chen would not activate the second tombstone to kill Tang Ao unless he absolutely had to.
This was his greatest trump card.
How, if the other party came seeking his own demise…
Soon, a call came from the Zhou family. Ye Chen answered it casually, and then turned off the phone. He started to cultivate again.
Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night in Jiangnan Province.
Tang Ao’s influence was evident.
Mysterious people showed up on the streets, hotels, and residential areas, all bearing the same photo.
Countless men who looked even remotely similar were forcefully taken away!
At this moment, the power of the president of the Jiangnan Province Martial Arts Association was unleashed to its fullest extent!
At the same time, in the Wu family’s residence, Wu Qiyuan had called for an emergency family meeting.
All of the core members of the Wu family were present.
Wu Qiyuan went straight to the point.
“This time, Tang Ao’s investigation has caused a huge commotion. If any family can make a contribution to this investigation, it will definitely be beneficial!”
“Elder Ma’s influence is lacking in comparison to President Tang’s. If we can make a big contribution to the investigation and earn his favor, the Qin Family will definitely not dare to touch us!”
“Everyone, look at the photo on the screen. I feel that this kid looks familiar, but I can’t place him.”
Everyone in the Wu family looked at the back of the person in the photo. Their first reaction was that this person looked familiar!
Wu Xinlan’s small mouth was slightly agape, and her eyes were filled with shock. That day, when Ye Chen came to visit, she had paid more attention to him, so she naturally recognized him immediately.
Ye Chen killed Tang Ao’s son?
Her face was a little pale. Although she did not believe it, judging from Ye Chen’s attitude that day, this seemed to be in line with the way he acted!
Did this guy want to die?
At this moment, Wu Cheng slammed the table and reacted, “Family head, isn’t this the arrogant brat who came to visit us the other day? Damn it! It’s definitely this kid!”
Wu Qiyuan instantly figured out why the person looked familiar!
Yes, it was Ye Chen!
However, as the head of the family, he naturally could not act rashly.
“It may or may not be Ye Chen. Although that kid could deal with my pressure that day, I’m not sure if could really kill Tang Haichen. We need to confirm one thing first, which is if he has an alibi,” Wu Qiyuan said.
Wu Cheng sneered, “Family head, there’s no need to go through all that trouble. Since that kid looks like the person in the photo, why not just inform Tang Ao. I’m sure that he will get to the bottom of this, by hook or by crook! Even if it’s not him, Tang Ao probably won’t let him off due to that matter with Yuan Jingfu!”
“I’ve been f*cking pissed off at this kid and that dog Wu Xiangming for a long time!”
Wu Qiyuan shook his head and looked at Wu Cheng.
“Which do you think Tang Ao will be more grateful for? Confirming his identity and handing him over to Tang Ao, or simply telling Tang Ao that Ye Chen is a suspect?”
Wu Cheng’s eyes lit up and he said, “Of course it’s the former! By capturing and bringing his enemy to his doorstep, Tang Ao will owe the Wu family a huge favor!”
