Ye Cangtian was very curious. What had the old man shown the head of the Yuwen family that made him have to compromise?
He walked out of the encirclement unimpeded and came to the old man's side.
The old man glared at him and snorted, "Handcuff him and take him back!"
Xu Shian stepped forward obsequiously and handcuffed Ye Cangtian, comforting him, "Don't worry, at most it's just confinement, a few kicks, and a scolding!"
Ye Cangtian looked at the schadenfreude on this guy's face and couldn't help but curl his lips. You're so familiar, it seems you face this situation often?
He looked at Xu Weiwei beside him and gave a dry laugh, "Thanks!"
He had seen Xu Weiwei intercede for him just now, and although he was far away, he was still very touched.
"Hmph, who asked for your thanks!" Xu Weiwei said expressionlessly and walked forward.
"Uh!" Ye Cangtian was stunned. You're unhappy even when I thank you?
The group left under the gaze of all the Yuwen family members. The Dragon Group members standing on the wall also withdrew.
Soon, the entire Yuwen family was left with only their own people.
Yuwen Qi gritted his teeth, his face full of anger and unwillingness. Seeing the group leave, his body finally staggered, and then he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Master!" Seeing their family head faint, the old butler and the Yuwen family members were greatly alarmed.
...
Late at night, Tang Xinwan sat on the hotel sofa, feeling a bit anxious. "I don't know where this person ran off to, and his phone is unreachable!"
In the hotel living room, besides her, Han Feifei and Murong Yu were also present.
They didn't know what Ye Cangtian had gone to do either, as he had left alone after escorting Tang Xinwan back.
Suddenly, Murong Yu's phone received a message. She curiously clicked it open, and when she saw the content, she was shocked.
She exclaimed and stood up, "I know where he went!"
This message was a broadcast from her family, detailing what happened at the Yuwen family that night.
The family's intention was to warn all their disciples not to provoke this malevolent star! It was likely that not only the Murong family, but perhaps all the eight great families and various smaller families in the capital were also warning their young disciples not to provoke Ye Cangtian!
...
At the Song family, Song Hai and He Chuan stood in their father's study.
When they heard their father talk about Ye Cangtian's actions at the Yuwen family, their faces turned pale, and their bodies trembled.
Especially Song Hai, who had clashed with Ye Cangtian that time by relying on people from the underworld. Although his arms were later crippled.
However, compared to Yuwen Hao's fate, he felt much more fortunate!
Fortunately, he hadn't done anything excessive back then, otherwise, he might have suffered the same fate as Yuwen Hao.
This Ye Cangtian was simply a madman!
A complete madman!
The Xia family!
Xia Cheng was drinking with some friends outside when his father called him back.
But he didn't expect that as soon as he stepped through the door, he was met with a slap from his father.
A few minutes later, Xia Cheng slumped to the ground, looking dejected.
Overnight! Almost all families knew about the existence of Ye Cangtian.
This was a madman who dared to go directly to one of the eight great families and personally kill their direct descendant young master in front of everyone.
Of course, more people found it strange.
Why did the Yuwen family let him go in the end? Was it out of fear of the Dragon Group?
...
The next day!
At the family compound, within a courtyard, an old man and a young man were intensely playing Gomoku under a grape trellis.
Not far away, Xu Weiwei was hanging out laundry.
Xu Shian quietly walked over, looking dejected. "Sister, that guy caused such a big incident last night, why didn't the old man confine him, or even scold him!"
Xu Weiwei glanced at the grape trellis and smiled, "I don't know!"
Xu Shian unhappily whispered in frustration, "It's unfair! Why am I always punished, always lectured, and always confined!"
Look at him!
Not only did he cause such a huge disaster, but he could also play chess with the old man?
Under the grape trellis!
Ye Cangtian made a move, and the old man opposite him immediately placed a piece next to it, then smiled and said, "Kid, you lost!"
"Old man, you're amazing, you can even beat me at Gomoku!" Ye Cangtian gave him a thumbs-up.
The old man glanced at him, snorted, and pouted, "Stop flattering me. Do you know how much trouble you caused me with last night's incident?"
Ye Cangtian gave a dry laugh. For saving me, I won't argue, okay?
The old man sighed, "Calling you impulsive is really true. For this matter, you could have just left him with a breath, but you actually killed him. You're too green, kid!"
Ye Cangtian was dumbfounded. Did this sentence really come from the old man's mouth?
However, what the other party said was also true. Even if Yuwen Hao had been completely crippled, as long as he was left with a breath, the Yuwen family, no matter how angry they were, wouldn't hate him so much.
Thinking of this, Ye Cangtian looked up and asked, "What exactly did the old man show the Yuwen family head? It actually made him compromise directly!"
The old man dropped the chess piece he was holding into the box, then lay back on the rattan chair and said faintly, "Do you roughly know who that Shan Kui fellow is?"
"You mean his identity in the Dark Association?"
Ye Cangtian gasped. He finally understood why the old man could make the Yuwen family back down.
That Shan Kui was a Yellow-level member of the Dark Association, yet Yuwen Hao had contacted him and instructed him to kidnap Tang Xinwan.
Connecting these facts naturally raised suspicion: was the Yuwen family involved with the Dark Association?
Whether they were or not, the high-level officials in China would definitely investigate the Yuwen family thoroughly. These big families inevitably had some uncleaned messes.
Once thoroughly investigated, the Yuwen family would be severely weakened, or even have their foundations damaged.
This was also why Yuwen Qi had that expression when he saw the investigation report. In the end, no matter how unwilling he was, he had to compromise.
Ye Cangtian understood this and was full of admiration for the old man's methods.
Indeed, these old guys were not simple!
Just then, Secretary Liu walked in from outside. He glanced at Ye Cangtian and then said to the old man, "Sir, there's a Miss Tang outside looking for Ye Cangtian!"
Tang Xinwan is here?
Ye Cangtian smiled brightly. As expected, this girl still cared about him, coming directly to the old man's place.
The old man glanced at him, then at his granddaughter Xu Weiwei, who had looked over upon hearing this. He couldn't help but snort.
"Tell her that Ye Cangtian committed an offense, and I've confined him for three days! Let her leave!"
"..."
Ye Cangtian was speechless. What did this old man mean?
Why wouldn't he let them meet?
He helplessly said to Secretary Liu, "Uh, tell Xinwan that I'm fine now!"
Secretary Liu suppressed a smile and turned to leave.
