Ning Ye had some idea of the current situation from these conversations. It seemed that if it was only Sun Liancheng, then the resistance should not be too great.
Not long after Sun Liancheng saw off all his relatives, he came to see Ning Ye.
Seeing that Ning Ye was so young, Sun Liancheng did not look down on him at all. Instead, he apologized, "I'm really sorry. I was delayed by some family matters. I hope I didn't keep you waiting."
Ning Ye smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I have that much patience, otherwise how could I close a deal? But I hope to discuss what I'm about to discuss with Patriarch Sun alone."
Sun Liancheng didn't care. After all, this was the Sun family's territory, and he didn't believe anyone could pull any tricks on his own land. So he simply told the steward to leave.
"Young master, can you speak now?"
Before Ning Ye could speak, Zhang Zihe had already taken off the black cloth covering his face. "Uncle Sun, I wonder if you still recognize me?"
Sun Liancheng looked at Zhang Zihe with a hint of shock in his eyes, "Zihe, why are you back?"
"Uncle Sun should remember that Qingyu and I are engaged, so I had no choice but to come back and see what's going on after such a big incident."
Sun Liancheng sighed and said, "You shouldn't have come back. Don't blame me. I really couldn't do anything about this. I was planning to keep you away from trouble, but I didn't expect you to come back."
Zhang Zihe said, "Uncle Sun, I appreciate your kindness, but I really care about Qingyu. There's always a chance for things to turn around, and maybe there's still room for this matter to be resolved."
Sun Liancheng said with a bitter expression, "This matter is already as difficult as climbing to the sky. I can only delay it as long as I can. If there were a way, I would have used it already."
“Master Sun, you’re speaking too soon. If you really want to save your daughter, I do have a plan, but whether or not to do it depends on Miss Sun and your opinion.”
Sun Liancheng then remembered that there was another person in the room. "Since this young master came with you, are you not going to introduce him to me?"
Zhang Zihe quickly said, "This is Ning Ye, Young Master Ning. He is the man I currently serve, and a genuine centurion. Although he is just starting out, his future prospects are limitless."
Sun Liancheng wouldn't even consider a mere centurion a threat, but since Zhang Zihe had already said so, he naturally had to give him some face.
"So it's Young Master Ning. You've come here today just to meet me, haven't you?"
"Patriarch Sun probably doesn't know, but Brother Zhang arrived yesterday. Unfortunately, he couldn't even get in the door, which is why he had to resort to this tactic today."
Sun Liancheng's face darkened. He had never heard of this before. It was clear that those people had already made their move, even if it was just a minor detail. These small steps were enough to gradually erode the people under his control.
"You two should leave now. Normally, I, Sun, would certainly treat you both well, but for now, you should go first."
Ning Ye, however, said nonchalantly, "Please rest assured, Uncle. If we were afraid of trouble, we wouldn't have come. We came today to discuss with you how to resolve this issue."
Sun Liancheng shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kind offer, young master, but the current situation is beyond solution, so there's no point in saying more."
“Uncle, I have a good medicine here. It will not harm a dead person within a day after taking it, and I guarantee that there is absolutely no problem with this medicine. It’s up to you, Uncle, to make this decision.”
Zhang Zihe responded, "Our young master has personally tested this medicine and it is absolutely effective. If you don't believe me, Uncle, you can ask someone else to try it, but it must be someone you can absolutely trust."
Speaking directly, Ning Ye had already taken out the fake death drug. The pills were pure white, and there were only two left.
Sun Liancheng accepted the fake death medicine with some skepticism. "If this young master doesn't mind, I will send someone to find you after I test the medicine's effects. I will make my own decision then. May I ask where you are currently staying?"
"Once the village head has made his decision, he can send someone to Chunlai Inn to find me. If the Sun family head has no further questions about today's events, then we will take our leave now."
Just then, there was a rapid knocking on the door, and the old butler shouted anxiously, "Master, something terrible has happened! Miss is going to jump off the building!"
Upon hearing this, the people inside couldn't sit still any longer and quickly opened the door to go outside.
Sun Liancheng grabbed the old butler and asked, "What exactly happened? Why did Miss suddenly have suicidal thoughts again?"
"The young master has come again and went straight to the young lady's small building. It seems there's already a commotion there. Master, let's hurry over and take a look."
The group hurried toward the small building. When they arrived, there were indeed two guards with knives standing at the door, preventing anyone else from entering. Upstairs, they could already hear some unpleasant noises.
Sun Liancheng didn't care about any of that and was about to rush in when a man dressed as a scholar came out. "Patriarch Sun, the young master has given you a lot of time, but you still don't know how to behave. Do you intend to disturb the young master's enjoyment now?"
"Mr. Chu, my daughter is inside after all, please let me in."
Chu Yuesheng shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Patriarch Sun, my master can't wait any longer, so he's determined to make this happen today. This is also a great thing for your Sun family."
The noise from upstairs was getting louder and louder. No matter how anxious Sun Liancheng was, he still didn't dare to force his way in. He was still hesitating whether he should risk the entire Sun family for his daughter.
He could let his own daughter go, but if it meant plunging the entire Sun family into utter ruin, he would be a true sinner.
Ning Ye said in a low voice, "If you want to force your way in, I can help you, but I don't know what will happen after that."
Zhang Zihe's eyes were bloodshot. If he backed down at this moment, how could he have the face to say that he really liked Sun Qingyu?
Without the slightest hesitation, Zhang Zihe strode forward, and the two guards with knives also drew their steel blades. Their attitude was very clear: if anyone dared to challenge them, they would not hesitate to kill them.
Ning Ye was also ready to strike. At such close range, he was confident that he could subdue his opponent without any resistance.
