Ye Xingchen walked to the scene with a livid face. He saw several bodyguards being carried away covered with white sheets, and two cars overturned on the ground, twisted and deformed.
In front of Li Yijin's personal seat, Huang Jiucheng knelt on the ground, his body already cold.
Inside a grassy hollow on one side, several assassins, now charred, remained standing.
Ye Xingchen stopped in front of Huang Jiucheng, staring at the huge wound on his chest, feeling the icy chill within: "Xuanyang Sect, Hanqing Sword, has the Chen family gone mad?"
Just then, a convoy drove up, and Li Tianqi rushed over like a madman. Looking at everything before him, he roared, "Who did this?"
"Cousin, don't get agitated. We're still investigating, and we believe we'll have results soon." Bai Zilin quickly stepped forward, unsure how to comfort him.
These things were beyond her control; all she could do was investigate and offer comfort.
"It was made by the Chen family." Ye Xingchen took a deep breath.
"Chen Wanning, has he gone mad? Fine, fine." Li Tianqi laughed in extreme anger, his eyes bloodshot: "He wants to play games, huh? Then I'll play games with him now. I'll risk the Li family's fortune to fight him to the death."
Li Yijin is his sister and his only weakness. Although he has severed ties with the Chen family, the two sides have not reached the point of a complete falling out.
This time, the Chen family has completely exposed their true intentions. Since that's the case, Li Tianqi doesn't care anymore and uses all his power to relentlessly pursue the Chen family.
"Go back and wait for news. I will find her." Ye Xingchen said, looking at the traces left by the other party under the overpass, he sneered, jumped up, went down the overpass, and followed the traces.
The further you go, the more obvious the traces become; clearly, someone left them intentionally.
Ye Xingchen knew perfectly well that the other party had kidnapped Li Yijin, but their real target was him. How could he not see through such an obvious trap?
Emerging from a grove of trees, a main road stretched into the distance, and the trail ended there.
Ye Xingchen frowned slightly, took out his phone, and dialed Chen Liang's number.
"Young Master Ye, it's so late, is there anything I can help you with?" Chen Liang's tone was indifferent, as if nothing had happened.
"Where is Li Yijin?" Ye Xingchen asked bluntly.
"Li Yijin?" Chen Liang's tone was somewhat confused: "I don't understand what you're talking about, Young Master Ye."
"She's been kidnapped," Ye Xingchen said calmly. "And all the clues point to the Chen family."
"You'll probably have to ask my cousin about that, right?" Chen Liang smiled and said, "You know, the old man said that if he can't win over Li Yijin, he'll kick him out of the Chen family."
"Now he's probably desperate, so he had Li Yijin kidnapped?"
"Chen Liang, since you're going to cooperate, then show some sincerity. You kidnapped Li Yijin, and if nothing unexpected happens, she should be with Chen Hao by now." Ye Xingchen's tone was slightly somber: "You want to use me to get rid of Chen Hao? Fine, I'll grant your wish."
"But now you must tell me where Li Yijin is. If anything happens to her, then I'm sorry, I will stop at nothing and risk turning against everyone to wipe out the Chen family. And you and your son are the first people I want to kill."
Ye Xingchen's tone was chilling. He wasn't sure if Chen Liang was behind it, so he made the call just to bluff.
However, he had already guessed from the other party's tone that Chen Liang and his son wanted to use him to kill Chen Hao.
This tactic of using someone else to do the dirty work was clever, but it was also undeniably despicable; Ye Xingchen was genuinely intent on killing him.
Chen Liang, the other party, fell silent for a moment. Even someone as intelligent as him was speechless after being rendered speechless by Ye Xingchen's words.
Inside the private room, he glanced at his father and nodded slightly.
Chen Liang understood and sighed, "Alright, I underestimated Young Master Ye. I'll send you the address right away."
*Click*, the other party hung up the phone. Chen Liang found an address and sent it to Ye Xingchen.
After sending it, his heart was still pounding: "Dad, I really underestimated Ye Xingchen. He actually thought of me first?"
“I underestimated him too,” Chen Zhengye said. “This kid is really something else.”
“But now he knows it’s a trap, but he has to walk into it.” Chen Liang smiled and said, “Using Ye Xingchen to get rid of Chen Hao will inevitably enrage Chen Zhengyi. At that time, the two sides will definitely tear each other apart, and we can reap the benefits.”
"This move was good, but it also means a complete break with Ye Xingchen," Chen Zhengye said.
“We were going to break with him sooner or later, but right now we have a common enemy, which is why we've come together,” Chen Liang said. “So it’s just a matter of sooner or later.”
"Heh...you're oversimplifying things." Chen Zhengye said with a smile, "It's better to tear off the mask later than sooner. Right now, we have a common goal, but he'll also be secretly on guard against us."
"It would be so nice if this person were a friend, what a pity..."
Having obtained the address, Ye Xingchen immediately rushed to the location.
In a private club, Chen Hao was having a good time with a group of friends when someone came over and whispered a few words in his ear.
"Really?" Chen Hao suddenly stood up, a sinister glint in his eyes.
"It really is Young Master Chen. He's been delivered and is in the room right now, just waiting for you to come over." The man had a lewd grin on his face.
"Damn it, that bitch Li Yijin is finally in my hands." Chen Hao laughed loudly, throwing down his wine glass. "Take me there now."
Chen Hao was already impatient. Firstly, Chen Wanning had indeed given him an ultimatum: if he couldn't even handle a woman, he should get out of the Chen family.
Secondly, he had been repeatedly beaten by Ye Xingchen these past few days and had been holding back his anger for a long time. Now that Li Yijin had delivered herself to his doorstep, he wanted to take this opportunity to get revenge on this woman.
Li Yijin was indeed locked in the room. When Chen Hao came in, she grabbed a wine bottle, smashed it, and pointed it at Chen Hao, saying, "You dare come any closer, Chen?"
"Hahaha..." Chen Hao saw that Li Yijin was indeed in the room, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Li Yijin, it really is you! You fucking never thought that one day you would fall into my hands?"
Chen Hao laughed loudly, his eyes blazing with barely suppressed malice: "Why aren't you being arrogant anymore? Go ahead and be arrogant then!"
"Chen Hao, are you crazy?" Li Yijin said through gritted teeth, "Don't come any closer, give me your phone, I need to make a call."
