140: Chapter 140: The Entire Mei Family

"You people, for the sake of those unspeakable secrets, wiped out my daughter's entire family."

"And now, you even intend to finish them off, dealing a lethal blow to the mother and daughter."

"Tell me, how should this Young Master thank you all?"

Chu Yuan's words were calm, but between the lines, they were filled with a murderous intent.

"Our Mei Family is willing to offer half of our family assets as compensation to Miss Ye Xiaoling. Please, Young Master Chu, forgive our Mei Family for being blind all these years."

As the head of the Mei Family, he was very clear about this.

He knew what kind of terrifying power the Chu Family, standing behind Chu Yuan, represented in the Dragon Kingdom.

Since Chu Yuan had come personally to investigate this matter, if he didn't suffer a major loss, he was afraid he wouldn't even be able to keep his life.

Therefore, he didn't hesitate at all and directly offered half of the family's assets.

Although the Mei Family hadn't squeezed into the top-tier families of Magic City, it could still be called the pinnacle of second-tier families.

The entire assets of the Mei Family amounted to hundreds of billions.

He was willing to offer half of the family assets at once for this matter; it could truly be called a massive loss.

Family Head Wu Chengfeng and Family Head Guan Suo, standing nearby, heard this and their expressions changed drastically.

Patriarch Mei Ling had simply gone mad.

Just because of the other party's casual remark, he was contributing half of his own assets.

This was just too crazy.

They hadn't fully touched upon this circle yet. Although they understood the power of the Chu Family, they didn't know that the Chu Family was so powerful that it made them only able to look up in awe, unable to produce any thoughts of resistance.

If the Mei Family was taking out half of their assets as compensation, then what kind of price would they, the accomplices who had wiped out the Jiang family back then, have to pay?

At the thought of this result, Family Head Wu Chengfeng, Family Head Guan Suo, and the others all turned ashen-faced.

"Bullying people related to me, Chu Yuan, and now you only offer half of the family assets as compensation? Are you trying to insult this Young Master?"

Hearing this amount of compensation, Chu Yuan not only didn't feel any joy, but his expression immediately darkened.

His gaze, sharp as a blade, stared straight at Patriarch Mei Ling as he rebuked him word by word.

"Ch-Young Master Chu, I... I..."

Patriarch Mei Ling, who was already trembling with fear, was even more terrified upon hearing Chu Yuan's questioning.

His legs went weak, and with a thud, he knelt on the ground.

"Young Master Chu, please calm your anger. As long as you and Miss Ye Xiaoling can forgive my negligence, I am willing to make any compensation."

The main reason Patriarch Mei Ling was able to become the head of the Mei Family was that he knew how to assess the situation and had self-awareness.

Now that the situation was weaker than the others, he was already meat on someone else's chopping block.

It was better to be honest; perhaps there was still a chance to save his life.

Su Mingyue looked at Patriarch Mei Ling, the head of the Mei Family, who was kneeling on the ground, trembling with fear, and had absolutely no room to resist.

On her icy, beautiful face, there was an indescribable expression.

It was Patriarch Mei Ling who had led people to massacre the Ye family ten years ago, almost causing the mother and daughter to lose their lives.

Su Mingyue's gaze only lingered on Patriarch Mei Ling for a moment before she turned her head again to look at Chu Yuan beside her.

Women all like that kind of strong, overbearing person who is willing to stand up for them.

Even Su Mingyue was no exception.

Especially since the other party was doing this entirely to stand up for her and her daughter this time, it made Su Mingyue feel deeply grateful.

Her entire heart was deeply moved by the powerful aura displayed by Chu Yuan.

The change in Su Mingyue's expression did not escape Chu Yuan's eyes.

It seemed that his action of bringing Su Mingyue and her daughter to vent their anger this time was very successful.

"Patriarch Mei Ling, this is more like it. This Young Master actually appreciates you a bit."

Turning his head, Chu Yuan fixed his gaze on Patriarch Mei Ling.

He saw that the other party had his eyes tightly shut, looking like someone waiting to be slaughtered.

He nodded, and his expression gradually softened: "If you are wrong, you must admit it; if you are being beaten, you must stand at attention."

"Patriarch Mei Ling, you committed slaughter back then, and ten years later, you still bullied Xiao Ling and her mother, insisting on finishing them off. We really should settle this account properly."

Patriarch Mei Ling became more and more alarmed the more he listened. Hearing that Chu Yuan still intended to settle accounts with him, his originally paper-white cheeks immediately lost all color.

Chu Yuan naturally didn't know that Patriarch Mei Ling had already been scared out of his wits by this time.

If he said a few more words, the other party might just be scared into slitting his own throat.

But seeing that the other party, upon hearing his words, not only didn't show any anger but was even scared into breaking out in a cold sweat, Chu Yuan immediately lost interest.

Such a spineless guy, no wonder he became a stepping stone for Ye Yun to act cool and slap faces; he was simply an insult to the role of a villain.

You have to know, this is the Mei Family Courtyard.

No matter what, the Mei Family had hundreds of bodyguards, yet at this moment, they didn't even dare to let out a fart.

Chu Yuan had never seen such a spineless patriarch before.

Sure enough, being mocked and then acting cool to slap faces is only suitable for those Protagonists who like to play the pig to eat the tiger.

With my, Chu Yuan's, current status, even if I just say a few words, or even if I fight my way to their door, no one dares to come out and say a single word of objection.

Chu Yuan looked at the completely resigned Patriarch Mei Ling, feeling speechless.

This guy was so spineless now that even beating him up seemed a bit boring.

"Since Patriarch Mei Ling's attitude in admitting his mistake is sincere, this Young Master can give you a chance to turn over a new leaf."

"If you want to appease the anger of this Young Master and my daughter, you only need to agree to two conditions."

"Please give your instructions, Young Master Chu."

Although Patriarch Mei Ling knew in his heart that Chu Yuan's conditions would not be easy to fulfill.

He still nodded respectfully, his voice trembling as he spoke.

"This Young Master's conditions are very simple. From now on, my daughter Ye Xiaoling will be the master of your Mei Family. Everyone in the Mei Family must obey my daughter's orders, and my daughter can call upon all of the Mei Family's resources at any time."

As soon as Chu Yuan's voice fell, the entire scene immediately fell into silence.

It wasn't just Patriarch Mei Ling and all the Mei Family members; even Family Head Wu Chengfeng and Family Head Guan Suo, who were standing nearby, were all shocked by Chu Yuan's exorbitant demand.

Ye Xiaoling becoming the master of the Mei Family.

It was simply to give the entire Mei Family to Ye Xiaoling.

Su Mingyue, standing nearby, heard this, her mouth opening wide, as if it could fit a goose egg.

Clearly, she was also completely shocked by Chu Yuan's words.

As the former young mistress of the Ye family, even after ten years had passed, she understood the power of the Mei Family.

The Mei Family had at least hundreds of billions in assets. In the entire Magic City, they were able to rank among the notable ones.

She never expected that Chu Yuan could actually go to such lengths for his daughter.

Patriarch Mei Ling had long been trembling with fear, his eyeballs rolling around, seemingly considering the pros and cons of the matter.

Handing over the Mei Family, even if he died, he would have no face to face the ancestors of the Mei Family.

But if he refused to hand it over to the death, with Chu Yuan's methods, he was afraid the entire Mei Family would not be saved.
