Just then, a ring of white mist suddenly surged out.
The white mist instantly formed a sharp energy, and with a hum, it rippled outwards from Ye Xingchen in all directions.
With a series of booming sounds, the human walls were blown away, and a sharp aura formed a hurricane in the room, sweeping away the enemy.
With a crash, the glass of the floor-to-ceiling window shattered, and more than a dozen figures fell out of the window.
Although the building isn't tall, only on the third floor, it's still enough to give these people a hard time.
Li Jincheng knelt on the ground and clung tightly to a pillar, which prevented him from being knocked down by the hurricane.
Ye Xingchen slowly stood up and walked to his side: "You are Li Jincheng?"
"I am Li Jincheng. If you have the guts, state your name. If you live to see tomorrow's sun, I'll take your surname," Li Jincheng roared as he struggled to his feet.
"Then remember this clearly, my name is Ye Xingchen." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly.
“Kid, you’re pretty tough.” Li Jincheng’s face turned pale. “But in Yanjing, if you offend me, Li Jincheng, you’ll die a horrible death.”
"Oh, how bad is it?" Ye Xingchen asked.
"Tear him apart by five horses, grind his bones to dust," Li Jincheng declared ruthlessly.
"Whom do you intend to grind to dust?" A cold voice rang out as Tang Yixue slowly walked in.
"Miss Tang?" Li Jincheng was taken aback, his attitude instantly changing drastically: "Why are you here? I..."
"I'm asking you, who are you going to grind to dust?" Tang Yixue asked.
“Miss Tang, you’ve come at the right time. This brat broke my son’s hand and injured so many of my subordinates. If we don’t get rid of him, it will affect the prestige of the Tang family,” Li Jincheng said bitterly.
"Does the prestige of the Tang family really need to be affected so easily? Besides, don't you even know who he is?" Tang Yixue's smile grew even brighter.
"Who is he?" Li Jincheng raised his head in confusion. He suddenly felt that the young man in front of him had an unusual relationship with the Tang family. Otherwise, why would Chen Hu stand on Ye Xingchen's side without hesitation?
"He is my grandfather's savior, a distinguished guest of the Tang family. His words carry the same weight as the Tang family's." Tang Yixue's smile vanished, replaced by a chill.
"Young Miss, I... I don't know." Li Jincheng was startled, his hands trembling slightly.
Although the Tang family was not a prominent clan, they held a considerable position in Yanjing, and their relationships were complex. The Tang family patriarch was someone who could speak with people in the imperial court.
Several high-ranking officials often invited Old Master Tang to have tea and chat. Who were these people that the Tang family treated as honored guests?
"So you know now?" Tang Yixue said calmly, "Tell your people to get out."
"Get out, all of you get out!" Li Jincheng yelled at the people at the door.
He was originally prepared to fight Ye Xingchen to the death and kept sending people over, but now that he has figured out Ye Xingchen's identity, he no longer dares to act recklessly.
"Miss, I'm sorry, I will never make such a mistake again." After dismissing his men, Li Jincheng lowered his head and apologized.
"The person you should apologize to is not me, but Mr. Ye," Tang Yixue said with a smile.
"Mr. Ye, I'm sorry." Li Jincheng apologized respectfully.
"Your son?" Ye Xingchen pointed to Li Bo, who was lying on the ground like a dead dog.
Li Bo looked at Ye Xingchen with terrified eyes. He was stunned. He hadn't expected Ye Xingchen to be a distinguished guest of the Tang family.
His father had status, but to put it bluntly, he was just a dog of the Tang family. Even the Tang family had to treat him like a VIP. How could he afford to offend him?
"Yes, it's my son. I've spoiled him and he's not disciplined enough," Li Jincheng said in a humble voice.
"Teach him a lesson." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly: "Don't let me see him harming girls again, or I'll cut off his manhood."
“Mr. Ye, I will definitely discipline them properly.” Li Jincheng nodded quickly.
"Also, do you know anyone in the Western Regions?" Ye Xingchen stared at Li Jincheng.
"No." Li Jincheng's expression tightened slightly. "Some people are spreading rumors. I have always abided by the Tang family's rules and behaved myself."
The subtle changes in his face naturally did not escape Ye Xingchen's eyes.
This guy must have some connection with Jinluo City in the Western Region, but he won't admit it. Ye Xingchen certainly won't expose him either. He nodded slightly and said, "Very good." Then he stepped out.
Ye Xingchen frowned slightly as he arranged for someone to send Lin Nianwei and the other person back.
"What's wrong? Not satisfied with today's outcome?" Tang Yixue walked over with a grin: "If you're still not satisfied, I'll have someone break Li Bo's leg."
“No, not at all.” Ye Xingchen shook his head: “Is it true that Li Bo has connections with drug lords in Jinluo City in the Western Region?”
“We investigated, but found no clues. It might just be hearsay,” Tang Yixue said seriously.
“But when Xijing was mentioned, his expression became unnatural, clearly he was trying to hide something.” Ye Xingchen smiled: “He must have connections with those people in Jinluo City.”
“If this is true, then I will choose someone else to replace him.” Tang Yixue’s brows furrowed.
The Western Territory is a taboo subject; the Tang family does not allow any force under its control to have any connection with it.
"Are there any suitable candidates?" Ye Xingchen asked.
"Not at the moment." Tang Yixue looked up at Ye Xingchen: "Do you have any?"
“Chen Hu can temporarily take over,” Ye Xingchen said with a smile.
"You trust him?" Tang Yixue asked.
"It's clear he's a loyal person," Ye Xingchen said calmly. "Letting him temporarily take over Dongcheng is no problem."
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say." Tang Yixue paused, "But we need to find a suitable reason to deal with Li Jincheng."
"No need." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly: "If you push him a little, he'll do something desperate."
"You have a plan?" Tang Yixue asked with a smile.
“It’s not a plan. Dealing with someone like him doesn’t require a plan,” Ye Xingchen said. “But your Tang family needs a legitimate reason to deal with him.”
"Otherwise, it will affect the prestige of the Tang family. We should push him and make him reveal his true colors. Then everything will fall into place naturally."
“Okay, then I’ll wait for you to get the fire going so you can deal with him.” Tang Yixue nodded.
"He's someone the Tang family has nurtured for many years. Am I just going to sentence him to death with a single sentence? Wouldn't that be a bit much?" Ye Xingchen asked.
“First, the Tang family already owes you a favor, and we always repay kindness.” Tang Yixue said with a smile, “Second, he has repeatedly broken the rules, dabbled in drugs, and even firearms, which the Tang family cannot tolerate.”
"So you want to take this opportunity to get rid of him?" Ye Xingchen asked.
