“This uncle of yours is Qin Yang, my sworn brother,” Ye Longfei said.
Before Ye Chen could react, Ye Longfei continued, “Actually, I originally wanted to make your uncle my big brother, but he despised me for being too old, so he accepted me as his elder brother instead. I’m your uncle’s elder brother, but he’s my boss.”
Ye Chen tilted his head, blankly staring at his father.
Although his father spoke confusingly, Ye Chen roughly understood what he meant—he had to listen to Qin Yang.
Thinking of this, Ye Chen immediately said, “Uncle, I ordered someone to target you because Qin Li from the Qin family asked me to. I didn’t know about the relationship between you and my father.”
“That dog Qin Li dared to mess with my brother? Go and kill him for me,” Ye Longfei flared up instantly.
What kind of trash dared to lay hands on his brother?
But Qin Yang waved his hand, “No need. He’s just a small fry. Lately, I’ve been bored anyway. I’ll play with him myself. I came here just so my dear nephew wouldn’t keep finding trouble with me. I’m afraid if I’m not careful, it’ll be the old burying the young.”
Ye Longfei shivered and said gratefully, “Brother, you’re too considerate.”
Qin Yang waved his hand and said, “Also, in the future, if you run into Su Nuanyue from the Su family, be polite to her. She’s my fiancée.”
“Got it. Don’t worry, little brother. I’ll make sure everyone under me knows. If you need anything, don’t be polite with me,” Ye Longfei said, grinning.
Qin Yang nodded and turned to leave.
Ye Longfei wanted to see him off, but Qin Yang’s voice floated back, “No need to see me off.”
Only after Qin Yang left did Ye Longfei let out a long sigh.
He wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and collapsed onto the sofa. His clothes were drenched with sweat.
“Dad, who exactly is that uncle? When did you get a sworn brother like him?” Ye Chen asked, puzzled.
More importantly, why did his father seem so wary of Qin Yang, like a mouse seeing a cat?
Ye Longfei took a deep breath and said, “Do you remember the Daoist I once told you about?”
“Him?” Ye Chen was stunned.
Ye Longfei shook his head, “No, Qin Yang is that Daoist’s disciple. Honestly, I’d rather face the Daoist than deal with this little brother of mine.”
“Why?” Ye Chen asked curiously.
“Five years ago, we weren’t the biggest underground force in the southern city,” Ye Longfei said.
Ye Chen nodded, “Right, back then, the Three Lords ruled the city. Our family wasn’t much. If they hadn’t been wiped out overnight, we’d never have risen.”
At this, Ye Chen’s face changed, realizing something.
“You mean—”
“Yes, it was him. That night, a few of the Three Lords’ men were chasing me, trying to kill me. I happened to run into Qin Yang and his master. They saved me,” Ye Longfei said. New chapters come out on novelping.com first.
“At first, Qin Yang wasn’t planning to kill, but those men were relentless. They wanted to kill the Daoist and Qin Yang. Only then did Qin Yang get furious. He had me lead the way and in one night, wiped out the Three Lords and their entire upper echelon.”
Ye Longfei’s face showed fear as he spoke, as if recalling a terrifying memory.
“You know? The Three Lords’ strongest enforcer, He Qiang, didn’t last a single move against Qin Yang before he was crushed to death,” Ye Longfei shivered.
Ye Chen’s mouth dropped open. He remembered he had sent Scarface to deal with Qin Yang today.
And Scarface merely had his legs broken—Qin Yang must have shown mercy.
“Enough about that. Just remember, if you meet your uncle in the future, treat him even better than you treat me,” Ye Longfei said.
“Dad, don’t worry. I’ll definitely treat Uncle better than my real father,” Ye Chen promised.
Ye Longfei nodded, satisfied, though something about Ye Chen’s words felt a little off.
“But before that, there’s someone I need to deal with,” Ye Chen’s eyes flashed coldly.
That bastard Qin Li dared to make him provoke Uncle, nearly getting both father and son killed.
“You’re a sensible kid. Do whatever you need to, just don’t cross the line. We also have your uncle’s support—nothing can shake our standing in the southern city’s underworld,” Ye Longfei laughed.
He always stayed within Qin Yang’s bottom line. Though he was a big boss in the underworld, he never did anything unforgivable.
Otherwise, Ye Longfei believed Qin Yang could destroy him without even lifting a finger.
Much easier than taking down the Three Lords.
“Dad, don’t worry. I don’t touch ordinary people. I only do business with aristocratic families. Those people are dirty enough themselves,” Ye Chen grinned.
“Go,” Ye Longfei waved him off.
Ye Chen left to start investigating Qin Li’s whereabouts.
“Young Master, we found Qin Li. He’s at First Hospital.”
“Let’s go get him,” Ye Chen said.
At the hospital, Jiang Wanrou and Qin Weiye were with Qin Li, waiting for his treatment to finish.
Suddenly, a group of men burst in and started beating Qin Li mercilessly.
Qin Li screamed.
He recognized them immediately—they were Ye Chen’s men.
But they ignored him and kept beating him.
Jiang Wanrou and Qin Weiye were so terrified they didn’t dare move, afraid of being beaten too.
Their bodyguards were quickly subdued.
With a final scream, Qin Li passed out.
“Trash,” one of the thugs sneered before leaving.
Their job was done—both of Qin Li’s legs were broken. Mission complete.
“Doctor, quick!”
Qin Weiye shouted nervously.
The doctors rushed in and took Qin Li to surgery.
“Who did this? I’ll make them pay!”
Qin Weiye roared.
Just then, a lazy voice sounded.
“Really? And how exactly does CEO Qin plan to make me pay?”
Qin Weiye shivered.
When he saw who spoke, he was dumbfounded.
“Young Master Ye, it’s you? Aren’t you and Qin Li friends?”
Qin Weiye’s tone softened instantly.
He had more money than Ye Longfei, but they were an underground force—not someone he could afford to provoke.
“Him? Friends with me? That wild mutt dares to mess with me? Tell him this was just a warning. Next time I see him, I’ll beat him again,” Ye Chen sneered and swaggered off.
Qin Weiye’s face turned grim.
He glanced resentfully at the operating room.
Ever since bringing Qin Yang back on Qin Li’s advice, nothing good had happened to their family.
If not for the fact that Qin Li was—
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
