"Good, I admire you as a man." Ye Xingchen gave him a thumbs up, then turned his gaze to Li Bo on the side.
"Ye Xingchen, you bastard, what do you want to do?" Li Bo's voice trembled.
He is now physically disabled, and his old injuries have not healed, making him practically a cripple.
"Since your dad won't cooperate, I have no choice but to use you as an example," Ye Xingchen said with a slight smile.
"Help! Help!" Li Bo cried out in despair, though he knew that no one would come to save him and his son.
Ye Xingchen kicked him to the ground, then plunged the dagger in his hand deep into his thigh, and with a gentle twist, pulled it out forcefully.
No one knew better than Li Jincheng how ruthless this specially made dagger was; when it was pulled out, it was almost as if a piece of flesh the size of a child's fist was still attached to it.
Li Bo screamed in agony. Ye Xingchen pulled out his weapon and immediately stabbed it into Li Bo's other thigh, tearing off another piece of flesh.
Before three strikes were complete, Li Bo had already passed out. Ye Xingchen kicked him on a vital acupoint, forcefully waking him up, and then raised his knife again.
"Stop! I'll tell you, stop hurting my son! I'll tell you everything!" Li Jincheng finally broke down.
"If you had done this earlier, your son wouldn't have had to suffer this pain," Ye Xingchen said with a smile as he stopped.
"Behind the scenes is the Chen family of Yanjing. They have the support of hidden families, and I am actually just a pawn of those hidden families." Li Jincheng composed himself.
“Your father was a remarkable figure in Beijing back then. He was upright and could not fit in with some of the so-called celebrities in society.”
"If he had been there, the Ye family would have been unmatched in Yanjing and even the whole of China. Unfortunately, your grandfather strongly opposed his relationship with your mother."
"Get to the point, I know all of that." Ye Xingchen raised an eyebrow.
"The key point is that your grandfather forced your father and mother to separate by threatening to sever their father-son relationship." Li Jincheng gritted his teeth: "Your father was unwilling to separate from your mother, but he was also unwilling to sever ties with the Ye family, so he took on a very dangerous mission at the time."
"That is to deal with Jinluo City, which is sandwiched in the middle of the Golden Triangle in southern Xinjiang. Your father accepted the mission. If nothing unexpected had happened, you would have succeeded. However, his actions touched the interests of the hidden family behind the Chen family. Therefore, he had to die."
"Anything else?" Ye Xingchen asked.
“I’m not a core member, I’m just a hoodlum, how would I know so much?” Li Jincheng said angrily. “Even if I had the status of the Chen family, I wouldn’t be bullied to this extent by you.”
"Don't worry, it won't be long before the Chen family is in the same situation as you." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly: "One last question, which family is being referred to as the hidden family behind the scenes?"
“You wouldn’t understand even if I told you, they are from the Jin family…” Li Jincheng said.
"Jin?" Ye Xingchen slowly straightened up: "After the fall of the Qing imperial family, their descendants all changed their surnames. Jin is the surname that the Aisin Gioro imperial family changed the most times. They are descendants of the Qing dynasty?"
"I didn't say anything, I didn't say anything." Li Jincheng looked at Ye Xingchen with a look of horror, revealing certain information: his three clans would definitely be wiped out.
"Of course you didn't say it, I guessed it. I had dealings with the Na family, the descendants of a powerful minister in the former Manchuria, so I know what they're up to." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly: "However, what you revealed is no different from what you said directly."
Li Jincheng trembled, his expression filled with extreme fear as he looked at Ye Xingchen.
"So now you have two paths before you: first, die yourself; second, let the Jin family exterminate your entire clan. It's up to you to choose."
Li Jincheng trembled, remaining silent.
"Your son is already ruined, but I know you have many illegitimate children." Ye Xingchen said with a smile, "If this news gets out today, the Jin clan will definitely hunt down your illegitimate children and exterminate all of your Li family descendants. Is this the consequence you want to see?"
"Ye Xingchen, let my son go. He's a useless piece of trash and poses no threat to you whatsoever," Li Jincheng said through gritted teeth.
“Okay, I agree to your request,” Ye Xingchen said.
Li Jincheng grabbed a dagger, glanced at Li Bo, and smiled bitterly: "Son, live well from now on. Leave Yanjing and go as far away as you can. Dad can't stay with you anymore."
"Dad, no, Dad!" Li Bo cried out.
"Ye Xingchen, if you dare to break your promise, I will haunt you even as a ghost!" Li Jincheng roared, grabbed a dagger, and plunged it into his heart.
"Ye Xingchen, kill me too, you piece of trash!" Li Bo roared.
“Kill you? That would dirty my hands.” Ye Xingchen kicked him over and stepped on his head. “Besides, I don’t usually go back on my word. I see you have extraordinary talent. Even if you lose your manhood, you will have other adventures in the future. I’ll give you a chance so you can come back to me for revenge later.”
Ye Xingchen released Li Bo's head and turned to leave.
"The Chen family, the Jin family," Ye Xingchen murmured to himself, "It's time we settled the score from twenty years ago."
It rained all night in Yanjing, and the next day, the rain stopped and the sky cleared.
No one knows what happened last night. Li Jincheng's downfall heralded the beginning of a change in power in Yanjing.
That day, Ye Xingchen went to Li Tianqi's house to give Li Yijin a follow-up examination.
After learning that his wicked stepmother had a powerful patron, Li Tianqi took his sister and left the Li family home to live in one of their vacant villas.
Li Yijin is a senior in high school this year. She looks like a quiet, gentle and lovely girl.
Ye Xingchen knew what Li Tianqi was worried about. It's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark. His stepmother had a powerful figure by her side, and he was afraid that something might happen, so he asked Ye Xingchen to come and check on her to put his mind at ease.
"Mr. Ye, how is it?" Li Tianqi asked anxiously after Ye Xingchen finished taking his pulse.
"It's alright, the residual poison from the curse has been cleared, there won't be any more problems." Ye Xingchen took out a small piece of lightning-struck wood, drew a picture in the air, and then pointed at the lightning-struck wood.
Fa Cheng handed it to Li Yijin: "Wear this on your body, and any evil magic or curses will have to avoid you from now on."
"Thank you." Li Yijin took the lightning-struck wood and asked curiously, "You know magic?"
"I guess so, I know a little bit." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly.
"I can't thank you enough. If you ever need any help in the future, just let me know," Li Tianqi said earnestly.
"Alright, I'll remember that." Ye Xingchen nodded. "But I'm still not sure whether you're doing this to repay my kindness or to join forces and get through this together."
