443: Chapter 443 The Wang Family

Wang Tianlong was stunned.

Gongyang Shou?

The Great Elder of the Shenwu Alliance?

Shouldn't he be in Zhejiang Province making arrangements to deal with Ye Chen?

Why would he suddenly rush to Yunnan Province?

And even come to the door personally?

Wang Tianlong's brows furrowed tightly as an ominous premonition welled up in his heart.

But on second thought, it didn't seem right.

Could Gongyang Shou's personal visit mean he brought some good news?

Otherwise...

A figure like him shouldn't have to make the trip in person.

So...

The only possibility was that Ye Chen had already been dealt with?

A glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly waved his hand.

"Quick! Quickly, invite him in!"

The servant acknowledged and turned to run.

A moment later.

Three figures strode in from outside the courtyard.

The one leading was indeed Gongyang Shou.

But his old face was filled with a strange expression.

Behind him followed a man and a woman.

The man was dressed in casual clothes, with a harmless smile on his face.

The woman wore a red dress and had her arms crossed over her chest, looking strikingly beautiful.

However, Wang Tianlong's pupils suddenly constricted!

Because that man's face...

He had seen it before!

He had seen it countless times in photographs!

Ye Chen!

It was Ye Chen!!!

He jerked back half a step, his entire body going numb.

What was going on?

Why would Ye Chen appear together with Gongyang Shou?

Could it be that Gongyang Shou had subdued him and brought him here for the Wang Family to personally execute?

If that were the case...

That would be way too much like a sci-fi movie!

But before he could speak, Ye Chen had already beamed and waved at him.

"Wang Family Head, I've heard much about you."

"I've come uninvited; I hope I'm not disturbing you?"

Wang Tianlong's mind went blank.

He whipped his head around to look at Gongyang Shou, unable to hold it in any longer.

"Gongyang Shou!"

"What is the situation between you and him?"

Gongyang Shou gave a dry cough.

"Wang Family Head, don't blame me."

"Mr. Ye insisted on visiting you, and I couldn't stop him."

Wang Tianlong trembled with rage.

Couldn't stop him?

Even if you couldn't stop him, you shouldn't have brought him here, right?

Where the hell is your sense of martial honor!

But when he looked at Ye Chen's face, a wave of dread washed over him again.

That's right.

Against someone who could kick the Third Elder of the Chen Family to death, what could Gongyang Shou do to stop him?

If he hadn't brought him here, his corpse would probably be cold by now...

Wang Tianlong took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.

He was, after all, the head of the Wang Family, a man who had seen his fair share of storms.

Since Ye Chen was already at his door, panicking was useless.

He squeezed out a smile that looked more painful than crying.

"Mr... Mr. Ye, your presence honors us. Please forgive my lack of a proper welcome."

"May I ask what brings Mr. Ye here today?"

Ye Chen smiled slightly and stepped into the main hall.

He scanned the surroundings before finally letting his gaze rest on Wang Tianlong's face.

"It's nothing much."

"I just wanted to personally ask the Wang Family Head..."

"Does your Wang Family want to kill me?"

Wang Tianlong froze completely.

He never expected Ye Chen to ask so directly, so bluntly.

Without any preamble, he just came out and asked if they wanted to kill him?

How the hell was he supposed to answer that?

If he said yes?

Wouldn't that be seeking death?

If he said no?

But the man had already come to his door; he clearly knew everything.

The muscles on Wang Tianlong's face twitched as he forced out another pained smile.

"Mr... Mr. Ye, you must be joking."

"My Wang Family has no grievance with you; how could we possibly want to kill you?"

"There must be some misunderstanding!"

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow and smiled faintly.

"Misunderstanding?"

He tilted his head and glanced at Elder Gongyang beside him.

"Elder Gongyang, that's not what you said yesterday."

"You said the Wang Family allied with your Shenwu Alliance and even contacted the Manluodi Family to have me killed."

"Now the Wang Family Head says it's a misunderstanding..."

He paused, his smile becoming even more brilliant. "Does that mean you lied to me?"

Gongyang Shou shuddered all over, nearly kneeling on the spot.

What the hell?

How did it become me lying to you?

It's clearly all true!

He was so anxious he broke into a sweat, waving his hands repeatedly.

"No, no! Mr. Ye! Every word I said is the truth!"

"The Wang Family definitely joined forces with our Shenwu Alliance! Just yesterday, Wang Tianlong sent someone to meet with me and personally made the request!"

Hearing this, Wang Tianlong's face turned green.

"Gongyang Shou! You're fucking slandering me!"

"When did I ever join forces with you? When did I ever act as a middleman for the Manluodi Family?"

"You... you're framing me!"

Gongyang Shou also grew frantic.

He pointed at Wang Tianlong's nose and started cursing.

"Wang Tianlong! Stop acting innocent!"

"Yesterday you sent Wang Zhaolin to Zhejiang Province to meet me. You personally said those words, and now you want to deny it?"

"You even said Ye Chen killed your Brother-in-law, that your sister cries at home every day, and that you must avenge him!"

"Do you dare say you never said those things?"

Wang Tianlong's face was ashen.

He never imagined that this old bastard, Gongyang Shou, would spill everything right in front of him!

Even more unexpected...

Gongyang Shou had actually brought Ye Chen to his doorstep!

Fuck!

Do you have no professional integrity at all???

He took a deep breath, suppressing the fury in his heart, and spoke coldly.

"Gongyang Shou, quit your bullshit!"

"My Wang Family acts with integrity; we never engage in such shady dealings!"

"As for you..."

His eyes narrowed, a cold light flickering within.

"You want to drag my Wang Family down for the rotten things your Shenwu Alliance has done?"

"In your dreams!"

Gongyang Shou trembled with rage.

Good grief!

This old fox actually had the shamelessness to bite back!

He pointed at Wang Tianlong's nose and laughed out of pure anger.

"Wang Tianlong, oh Wang Tianlong, you really are a cunning old fox!"

"Fine! You say I'm framing you, right?"

He suddenly pulled a phone from his robe and tapped it a few times to play a recording.

The next second.

Wang Zhaolin's voice came out of the phone.

"Elder Gongyang, our Family Head said that as long as you can deal with Ye Chen, the underground casinos in Yunnan Province will all belong to your Shenwu Alliance!"

"Furthermore, our Wang Family has a chain of foot massage parlors in your Central Plains City; those will be yours too!"

"Is it a deal? Just one word, as long as Ye Chen dies!"

"..."

The recording finished playing.

A dead silence fell over the main hall.

Wang Tianlong's face froze completely.

His eyes widened: "You... you fucking recorded it?!"

Gongyang Shou sneered.

"No shit!"

"When dealing with an old fox like you, how could I not keep a trick up my sleeve?"

"What do you think I, Gongyang Shou, have relied on to survive in the martial world all these years?"

"Being sharp!"

"Compared to me, you're still a bit green!"

Wang Tianlong shook with fury, the veins on his forehead bulging.

He never expected that old bastard Gongyang Shou to be so insidious!

Even more so...

That his lifelong reputation would be ruined by a single recording!

But before he could argue back, Ye Chen laughed.

"Wang Family Head, that voice in the recording belongs to your man, doesn't it?"

"You can't possibly say..."

"That your own man is framing you too?"

Wang Tianlong's face was deathly pale: "I... I..."

He stammered for a long time, unable to get a full sentence out.

Gongyang Shou took the opportunity to twist the knife.

"Wang Tianlong, what else do you have to say?"

"The evidence is irrefutable; do you still want to deny it?"

Wang Tianlong whipped his head around, his eyes full of venom: "Gongyang Shou! You treacherous scoundrel! You'll die a horrible death!"

He was furious!

Absolutely livid!

He had always thought that since the Shenwu Alliance was a major alliance, they would never do something so treacherous.

But the truth was exactly the opposite!

That sneaky bastard not only knew how to do it but was exceptionally practiced at it.

He deserved a thousand deaths...

Gongyang Shou sneered.

"I'll die a horrible death?"

"You'd better worry about yourself first!"

"Mr. Ye is standing right here; go explain it to him!"

Wang Tianlong completely broke down.

His legs went weak, and he nearly collapsed to the floor, but he forced himself to stay upright.

He couldn't kneel!

He was the head of the Wang Family!

He was a member of the Martial Arts Alliance!

How could he kneel before a mere junior?

He gritted his teeth and stared at Ye Chen, speaking one word at a time.

"Ye Chen, things have come to this, and I have nothing left to say."

"What do you want? Name your terms!"

Ye Chen stood with his hands behind his back, smiling slightly.

"What do I want?"

"Simple."

"Since your Wang Family wanted to kill me, I'll just wipe out the Wang Family."

"Any problem with that?"

As the words fell.

The temperature in the main hall seemed to drop to freezing in an instant.

Wang Tianlong's face turned completely white.

His legs gave out, and he fell directly to his knees.

"Mr... Mr. Ye!"

"I was wrong! I was truly wrong!"

"I shouldn't have been blinded by greed, I shouldn't have listened to my sister, and I shouldn't have joined forces with the Shenwu Alliance to deal with you!"

"I beg you... I beg you to spare my life! Spare the Wang Family!!!"

The members of the Wang Family were all dumbfounded; they hadn't expected their Family Head to fold so instantly!

But on second thought, it made sense.

Facing a formidable person like Ye Chen, how could they not fold instantly?

Ye Chen walked up to him and looked down at him: "Weren't you acting quite tough just now? Didn't you tell me to name my terms?"

Wang Tianlong's face was covered in tears.

"I... that was just me being stubborn! It was just for the sake of my pride!"

"Mr. Ye, you are a great man; please don't lower yourself to my level!"

"As long as you spare my life, I will agree to anything!"
