"Who is your employer?" Xia Hanyue stared at him.
“You know in our line of work, we can’t just reveal the employer’s information.” Old Xiong shook his head: “So I’m sorry, I refuse to answer your question.”
"Actually, I know even if you don't say it." Xia Hanyue smiled gently: "When people are desperate, they are bound to do some desperate things."
“Since you know, let’s not waste everyone’s time. Come on, I’ll take you somewhere,” Old Bear said with a smile.
"Hehe, it's been ten years since we last met. You've come to my turf, why don't you sit down and have a drink?" Xia Hanyue said, "I have some rare and fine wines here."
“Miss Xia, don’t waste time.” Old Xiong smiled sinisterly. “I know you’re stalling for time, and I also know you have a very capable nephew on his way.”
"You mean Ye Xingchen? Indeed, he's very capable." Xia Hanyue nodded and said, "Don't you consider yourself a hero? I think you should challenge him."
"Haha, I admit, I think I'm pretty good, but I'm not completely without self-awareness." Old Xiong laughed heartily. "In Yanjing, provoking a Heavenly Realm expert doesn't seem like a good choice at all, so let's go."
"Take him away," Old Xiong said to his subordinate.
Two mercenaries stepped forward and restrained Xia Hanyue.
“Old Xiong, we’re old friends, but I have to warn you.” Xia Hanyue turned to look at Old Xiong: “You really shouldn’t have come to Yanjing, and you shouldn’t have gotten involved in our feud with the Ye family.”
"But I've already intervened, so what can I do?" Old Xiong said dismissively.
“You’ve always lived abroad, so you have no idea how ruthless the struggles are among China’s elite families.” Xia Hanyue smiled slightly and let Old Xiong lead her away.
When Ye Xingchen arrived, a large number of police officers were already at the scene, led by Bai Zilin.
"Ye Xingchen?" Bai Zilin was taken aback: "Your aunt was taken away. It was an overseas gang. They were spotted when they entered the country, but they were too late."
With a gloomy face, Ye Xingchen went up to the office. Looking at the messy office and the dozen or so bodyguard corpses that had been carried out, he slammed his fist heavily against the wall.
Boom! Concrete crumbled from the wall. He said bitterly, "Ye Taihe, very well, you're doing great."
"Do you know who's behind this?" Bai Zilin asked. "I think it's better to leave this matter to the police."
"No need. It's more appropriate for me to handle personal grudges myself," Ye Xingchen sneered.
"You don't trust us? The other party is from the Red Wolf Assassin Group, and Interpol has already intervened." Bai Zilin said urgently, "Moreover, the leader, Old Xiong, is a key wanted person."
"All I know is that their target is my family," Ye Xingchen said coldly. "And they have already done things to harm my family."
“But behind Old Bear, there’s an even bigger fish, we…” Bai Zilin became even more anxious.
"Whether the fish behind him is big or not, what does it have to do with me?" Ye Xingchen glanced at her coldly: "I said, this is a personal matter, and others are better off not interfering."
"Ye Xingchen, can you please stop this?" Bai Zilin was so angry she couldn't speak.
She knew that once Ye Xingchen made a move, Lao Xiong and the others would have no chance of survival.
"I'm sorry, I've always been like this." Ye Xingchen picked up the phone and dialed: "Use all resources to find Lao Xiong."
Bai Zilin stomped her feet in anger. If it came down to finding someone, the police might not be as quick as Ye Xingchen.
She couldn't help but feel sorry for Old Xiong. Of all people to mess with, why did he have to provoke Ye Xingchen? Now look what's happened. If he had been sent to the International Court of Justice, he would have had a chance to live, but he would have been imprisoned for life.
But this time, he probably won't even have the chance to be imprisoned.
No sooner had the order been given than Ye Xingchen received a phone call; Ye Taihe wanted to see him.
With a livid face, Ye Xingchen went to the place where Ye Taihe was recuperating.
Ye Taihe is now no different from a dead man.
His face had an unnatural bluish-gray tinge, as if someone who had been dead for several days had been dug up again.
Although he could still sit up with difficulty, he needed a machine to keep him breathing.
"Speak your mind, or shut up." Ye Xingchen stared at him coldly.
"You've come?" Ye Taihe forced a smile when he saw Ye Xingchen approaching. He struggled to remove his oxygen mask and breathed heavily. "I am indeed a little sorry for forcing you to meet me in this way."
"I didn't come here to listen to your nonsense," Ye Xingchen said coldly. "Where is my aunt?"
"Don't worry, she's safe," Ye Taihe said. "I just wanted to see you."
"Is that so? You're going to resort to such extreme measures just to see me?" Ye Xingchen laughed, taking a step closer, a chilling aura emanating from him. "Do you really think I wouldn't dare kill you?"
The overwhelming killing intent made Ye Taihe's breathing quicken, and he coughed violently.
Ye Xingchen gradually suppressed his killing intent. Ye Taihe could die, but not at his own hands.
"Heh, it seems you really hate me?" Ye Taihe grinned. "But thinking about it, it makes sense. What I did to you is indeed something you should hate me for the rest of your life."
"Then what else do you have to say? You called me here to play the victim and get my sympathy so I'd save you?"
"Is it alright?" Ye Taihe looked at Ye Xingchen with a pleading expression.
"Do you think it's okay?" Ye Xingchen countered, "Do you think I'll forgive you?"
"I'm afraid not." Ye Taihe sighed slightly. "What happened back then was my mistake."
“Otherwise, you would be enjoying family life with your family of three right now, and you wouldn’t hate me so much.” Ye Taihe closed his eyes, his voice barely audible: “If your father were here, the Ye family would definitely not be what it is now.”
"You know you're wrong? Too bad, it's no use." Ye Xingchen stared at him without any pity: "I used to estimate that you could live for another three months, but now it seems that you won't last two more weeks."
"Two weeks?" Ye Taihe stared blankly, lost in thought. "Do I only have two weeks left?"
"Optimistically speaking, two weeks. If your will to survive is strong, you might live another week," Ye Xingchen sneered.
"Then... could you please save me for the sake of our blood relation?" Ye Taihe asked with a pleading expression.
"No," Ye Xingchen answered decisively.
"I can admit all my past mistakes, I can give you everything from the Ye family, I only ask... to live, okay?" Ye Taihe pleaded, "I don't want to die, I really don't want to die..."
