Chapter 86 Now someone can replace you.

"Young Master Ye, what happened to you? Who was so bold as to treat you so cruelly? They must have a death wish and don't want to stay in the base anymore!"

After regaining her senses, Li Ruoyan immediately stood up for Ye Yufan.

Li Ruoyan's actions, which seemed designed to provoke a sensitive topic, instantly ignited Ye Yufan's anger.

He was already in a bad mood because he was injured and lying in bed, and when he heard Li Ruoyan's words, he became even angrier.

He yelled, "Shut up!"

"Ye Yufan!"

Just then, a middle-aged man strode in, his brows furrowed and his face full of anger.

This person was none other than the base owner—Ye Tian.

He was tall and imposing, exuding an aura of authority that commanded respect without anger.

When Ye Yufan saw his father come in, he called out, "Dad."

Just as Ye Tian was about to say something, he suddenly noticed that there was an outsider named Li Ruoyan in the room. Instantly, his gaze fell on Li Ruoyan like a sharp blade, and a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.

What are you doing here?

Li Ruoyan, however, was completely oblivious to the hostility in Ye Tian's tone, believing that the base lord had come to give her a chance to back her up.

She immediately straightened her back and put on a pitiful look. "My lord, you've come at the right time. I have something to complain to you about."

Ye Tian casually walked to the stool by the bed, slowly sat down, crossed his legs, and asked in a flat tone, "Oh? Who are you complaining about? Tell me."

When Li Ruoyan saw Ye Tian strike up a conversation, she thought there was a chance and immediately perked up.

"Qin Zhuo".

Ye Tian narrowed his eyes slightly, a half-smile playing on his lips. "Is that so? What did he do?"

Lying on the bed, Ye Yufan frantically winked at Li Ruoyan, his eyes almost twitching from blinking.

He wanted her to leave quickly and not say anything more.

Li Ruoyan, who thought the base owner would make decisions for her, was preoccupied with how to make Qin Zhuo look bad and didn't notice Ye Yufan's gaze at all.

"I went out on a mission with the rescue team on Young Master Ye's orders. But Qin Zhuo actually attacked me and tried to kill me."

"Before we set off, Young Master Ye repeatedly told everyone to protect me. But instead of protecting me, he tried to kill me."

"How can someone who disobeys orders and acts recklessly be allowed to remain in the base? He must be kicked out!"

After listening, Ye Tian revealed a meaningful smile, "You know what? I just came back from Li Hai's place, and he told me some things about you."

His relaxed tone made Li Ruoyan's heart skip a beat.

A hint of panic flashed in Li Ruoyan's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

“I had a disagreement with Li Hai, and he must have deliberately spoken ill of me in front of you. You can’t just listen to his side of the story, my lord.”

"So I talked to other people in the rescue team. They were all dissatisfied with you!"

As Ye Tian finished speaking, he suddenly stood up.

He strode up to Li Ruoyan, grabbed her by the neck, and his eyes were filled with anger and disgust. "Why did you cause trouble for the rescue team so many times, almost killing someone in the team? What are you up to?"

Li Ruoyan was being choked by Ye Tian, ​​and she felt it becoming increasingly difficult to breathe. Her face turned bright red, and she frantically tried to break free from Ye Tian's grip on her hands.

She scratched several red marks on Ye Tian's hand with her fingernails, but she couldn't loosen his grip at all.

Ye Tian frowned deeply, his eyes narrowed, and with a sudden burst of strength, he flung Li Ruoyan away.

Li Ruoyan's body fell heavily to the ground like a kite with a broken string, making a muffled "bang".

"Cough cough—"

Li Ruoyan lay sprawled on the ground, clutching her neck with both hands, coughing violently, each cough accompanied by a trembling of her body.

Her hair was disheveled and scattered across her face, making her look as miserable as could be.

After a long while, Li Ruoyan finally caught her breath. She struggled to her feet and knelt down. "Lord, I did all this because of Young Master Ye's orders. Young Master Ye told me to find an opportunity to kill Qin Zhuo. I caused trouble just to find an opportunity to strike."

Ye Tian's sharp eyes instantly fell on Ye Yufan, his gaze filled with scrutiny and questioning.

Ye Yufan felt a chill run down his spine under his father's gaze, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He hurriedly waved his hand, "Dad, don't listen to this woman's nonsense. I never asked her to do that. She's a woman who lies all the time, so please don't be fooled by her!"

Upon hearing this, Li Ruoyan's eyes welled up with tears. "Lord, I'm not lying. It really was Young Master Ye who ordered me to do it."

Ye Yufan: "I didn't! You woman, don't make false accusations here!"

"Alright."

Ye Tian coldly interrupted them, his gaze sweeping over Li Ruoyan like an icy blade, "From now on, you are not allowed to provoke Qin Zhuo, and you don't need to participate in the rescue team anymore. If you dare to cause any more trouble, don't blame me for being ruthless and killing you directly."

Li Ruoyan shivered.

She looked at Ye Tian in horror, her lips trembling, but she couldn't utter a single word.

Ye Tian continued, "Now there are more than just you as a space ability user in the base."

This news exploded in Li Ruoyan's mind like a bombshell.

Li Ruoyan's eyes widened, and she asked incredulously, "What?"

Ye Tian sneered, "Among the people the rescue team brought back this time, there is a man who also has spatial abilities. His space is larger than yours, and his strength is stronger than yours. You used to rely on your spatial abilities to run rampant in the base, but now someone can replace you."

Li Ruoyan's face turned even paler instantly, and she murmured to herself, "How come I didn't know?"

Ye Tian looked at the disheveled Li Ruoyan and smiled mockingly, "Then think about what you've done. You've been isolated by the rescue team and you still don't know how to reflect on your actions. Now get out of here right now and don't get in my way."

Li Ruoyan's body went limp, and she collapsed to the ground. After a long while, she scrambled to her feet as if waking from a dream. "Yes, I'll get out of here right away!"

After saying that, he scurried out like a stray dog.

After Li Ruoyan left, Ye Tian slowly turned around, his gaze falling on Ye Yufan, his eyes filled with disappointment and anger.

“Yu Fan, I asked you to invite and notify the rescue team members so that you could build your network. It was such a great opportunity, but you ruined it like this.”

"Who told you to put Li Ruoyan in the team? I didn't tell you to invite her. And why did you kill Qin Zhuo? Just because of a woman?"

Ye Tian has learned that his son has taken a liking to Qin Zhuo's childhood sweetheart and has been harassing her at their home multiple times when Qin Zhuo is not around.

Ye Yufan's eyes flickered, avoiding his father's gaze. He stubbornly said, "Dad, I didn't..."
