207: Hand over your belongings, and I'll leave you with a whole corpse!

Both Bai Wanqing and Chu Niubi were shocked.

How could they not be?

That was The Compound!

A nightmare for ordinary people!

Bai Wanqing's expression suddenly darkened.

"So many people go missing in the Dragon Kingdom every year."

"Official reports and folk rumors... some say they were tricked into going abroad, others say they were trafficked..."

"Our Tianyao Group's charitable foundation has assisted the police in several anti-trafficking operations. I've seen too many broken families..."

Her brow furrowed tightly.

"Those compatriots who vanished into thin air..."

"Are actually connected to the Wang family, who seem so low-key and devoted to charity on the surface?"

As expected!

One may know a person's face but not their heart!

No one would have thought... that a bloody executioner would be synonymous with a great family... Ye Chen nodded slowly.

"To be precise, at least half of it is inextricably linked to them."

"They play the role of the protective umbrella!"

Bang!

Chu Niubi slammed his fist onto the coffee table beside him.

His eyes were bloodshot, and the veins on his neck bulged. His previous playful demeanor had completely vanished, replaced by a towering rage.

"Fuck the Wang family and eighteen generations of their ancestors!!!"

"These beasts in human skin! Those sons of bitches!!!"

"How dare they? Huh? How dare they do this?"

Chu Niubi was also trembling with anger. Although he was a rascal, he possessed a patriotic heart.

Otherwise... he wouldn't be so obsessed with joining an organization like the Dragon Group that only existed in urban legends.

"I knew the Wang family wasn't up to any good and definitely had dirty laundry, but I never imagined..."

"They could be this filthy! They're insane! They've lost their humanity!"

He turned abruptly toward Ye Chen, his eyes wide.

"Master, with this evidence, why are we waiting until tomorrow?"

"Report them right fucking now!"

"Contact the Dragon Group! Contact the higher-ups! I'll call my old man right now and have the Chu Family mobilize all our resources!"

"After this is over, you'll be awarded a first-class merit!"

"If we don't uproot the Wang family this time and send every single one of them to the execution ground to eat lead, I'll write my name, Chu Niubi, backward!"

He wasn't acting entirely out of righteous indignation.

At that moment, a thought flashed through his mind... Yanjing had been in a state of tripartite confrontation for a long time. Although the Chu Family was the leader, the Wang and Huang families had deep roots, making it difficult to completely break the balance—let alone join the ranks of the 'Five Great Families of the Capital' who truly controlled the core.

Right now.

The Wang family had poked a hole in the sky themselves, leaving behind a fatal weakness that could doom them forever!

This was simply a godsend!

If they could seize this opportunity and use the ironclad evidence in Ye Chen's hands to topple the Wang family in one go... the Chu Family would inevitably become the biggest beneficiary of the resulting vacuum of interests!

By annexing part of the Wang family's core industries and absorbing their political resources... then...

The Chu Family would not only be number one in Yanjing but would also have enough confidence and strength to truly knock on the door of the Dragon Kingdom's top-tier circles!

This was a once-in-a-lifetime 'booster'!

It was enough to allow the Chu Family to undergo a complete transformation!

Ye Chen shook his head gently.

"No rush."

"Reporting them now might catch the Wang family off guard, but it could also force them into a desperate struggle where they use all their hidden trump cards to counterattack, or even... flee immediately."

"We have plenty of evidence, but arresting them, convicting them, and uprooting them takes time and procedure."

"If any of them slip out of the country in advance, it will be difficult to bring them back."

"So, let's not move for now. They'll be more anxious than us. We just need to wait for them to deliver themselves to our door."

"Wait for them to come themselves?" Chu Niubi was dazed.

"Master, aren't you overestimating the guts of that old geezer Wang Zhenyue?"

"If it were me, and I knew someone had such a huge leverage over me, my first reaction would definitely be to tuck my tail and run!"

"Taking a private jet out of the country overnight and hiding in some godforsaken place until the heat dies down—isn't that the normal way to handle this?"

Hearing this, Ye Chen suddenly laughed, his smile tinged with amusement. "How about... we make a bet?"

The hair on Chu Niubi's body stood on end, and he shook his head like a rattle.

"No betting, no betting!"

"Absolutely not!"

"I, Chu Niubi, might be a mess, but I still know how to respect my master! Betting with my master? Wouldn't that be betraying my teacher and destroying my lineage! I could never do something so rebellious!"

He spoke with righteous indignation, but in reality, he didn't dare to bet... It felt like knowing there was a pitfall ahead and still insisting on jumping in with eyes wide open. What would he be if not a fool?

Ye Chen looked at his cowardly yet obedient act and was about to tease him a bit more... when suddenly!

Screech—

A series of dense braking sounds, like the roars of wild beasts, tore through the quiet night sky of Cloud Top Garden!

Many!

A great many!

The scale was so large that even staying inside the house felt like an earthquake.

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow, stood up slowly, and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.

Through the glass, he could clearly see—

Dozens of black modified commercial vehicles, like a pack of hungry wolves, had blocked the villa's entrances, driveways, and even the edges of the green belts.

The headlights, like the pupils of beasts, lit up a patch of blinding white light in the darkness, focusing squarely on this detached villa.

One after another, figures dressed in tight outfits with cold, harsh auras filed out of the cars, silently and quickly spreading out to form a siege.

There were so many people that they almost filled the open space around the villa.

And at the very front of this black tide, the door of a Rolls-Royce opened.

Wang Zhenyue, dressed in a black Tang suit and leaning on an ebony cane, stepped out slowly.

Watching this scene.

Ye Chen smiled.

"Look."

"Haven't they arrived?"

Chu Niubi leaned toward the window to take a look, shuddered in fright, and pulled his neck back.

"Holy crap! So many people?"

"A whole swarm of them, there must be at least two or three hundred, right? Are we being surrounded?"

He never expected... that the old geezer Wang Zhenyue would be so ruthless as to directly surround this villa in Cloud Top Garden!

With this formation, forget about catching someone; even leveling this place would be more than enough!

Was he following his master to poke a hornet's nest or to raid a bandit's den?

Even though Chu Niubi was usually reckless, he knew how terrifying the current situation was.

Even if his status as the Young Master of the Chu Family was precious, under the siege of such absolute military force, he was no different from a paper doll.

Bai Wanqing also walked quickly to Ye Chen's side, her brow furrowed as she looked at the heart-stopping formation outside.

"Ye Chen, they're acting out of desperation. They're going to fight to the death."

"Should I call Old Master Xuanyuan right now?"

She knew very well that with just the three of them, it was almost impossible to face the Wang family's desperate force head-on.

The safest way now was to immediately seek help and ask the highest level of the Dragon Group to intervene, using the power of the state apparatus to suppress the Wang family.

Ye Chen smiled slightly.

"Stay inside and give Old Master Xuanyuan a call now. Briefly explain the situation, especially the evidence we have in our hands."

"Let him be prepared and act according to the situation."

"I'll go out and meet this... Old Master of the Wang family."

After saying that.

Ye Chen turned and walked straight toward the villa's main door.

"Ye Chen!"

Bai Wanqing couldn't help but call out, the worry in her eyes deepening.

Ye Chen paused slightly and looked back at her.

"Don't worry."

"They're just a bunch of nobodies; they can't turn the world upside down. I'm enough on my own."

After saying that.

He pulled open the villa door and walked out.

"Wait for me, Master!"

Chu Niubi was filled with hot-blooded excitement and immediately rushed out after him... outside the villa.

Wang Zhenyue was already standing before the iron gate, leaning on his cane.

Wang Yuan stood by his side, clutching his chest, his eyes flashing with venomous resentment.

Wang Zhenshan stepped out from the crowd and stopped at the very front.

Then.

He shouted coldly toward the villa.

"Ye Chen!"

"Get out here!"

"Kneel! Kowtow! Hand over everything you stole!"

"Otherwise, tonight, this old man will take this Cloud Top Garden, along with all the riffraff hiding inside, and..."

"Trample it to the ground!"

As soon as he finished speaking.

The villa door slowly opened.

Ye Chen walked out with his hands in his pockets.

His gaze calmly swept across the dark mass of people below, finally landing on Wang Zhenyue.

"Old Master Wang."

"Such a grand display..."

"Are you here to pay your respects to me, your junior?"

Below the steps.

Wang Zhenyue's face was as dark as iron, and he slammed his ebony cane down heavily!

Bang!

Several fine cracks appeared on the concrete ground.

"Ye Chen!"

"Stop your glib talk!"

"Hand over my Wang family's things, and perhaps I'll leave your corpse intact tonight!"

He paused.

Behind him, more than two hundred Wang family experts stepped forward in unison!

Boom—!

The ground vibrated slightly, and killing intent soared to the sky!

Chu Niubi had just chased after him, and the sight made his legs go weak. He almost rolled down the steps and had to grab the doorframe to steady himself.

"Holy crap..."
