After being imprisoned in a women's prison for five years, I became a master of both medicine a

Hearing that Ye Chen still dared to ask him for money at this point, Ji Xian almost couldn't help but order someone to come out and chop the kid into pieces.

But he couldn't do that; if Xu Chun died here, Ye Chen would probably find out immediately.

If he is prepared by then, or even if he escapes Dongzhou now, he will not be so easy to kill. Therefore, we must first stabilize Xu Chun.

Thinking of this, he immediately forced a smile and said, "Xiaochun, don't worry about the money. Our Ji family will definitely accept it. You are Mingliang's savior, and I won't treat you unfairly. However, two billion is not a small amount. I need to have someone raise it. Why don't you come to my house and sit for a while?"

"Okay, thank you, Uncle Ji. But you'd better hurry, or Young Master Ye will be angry if he sees that you haven't prepared the money yet." Ye Chen said, patting Ji Xian on the shoulder.

"You bastard, you dare to pat me on the shoulder? After I kill Ye Chen, you'll be the next one I kill."

Ji Xian made a silent vow in his heart, but with a smile on his face, he gestured for Ye Chen to enter.

"Sister Xiaoya, let's go inside and sit down." Ye Chen said, putting his arm around Zhao Ya's slender waist and taking the lead to walk inside.

Seeing this, Ji Xian's eyes instantly turned icy. Zhao Ya was his son's girlfriend, a fact known to everyone present.

Now that she's obediently letting Xu Chun hug her, isn't that telling all the families in Dongzhou that their son has been cheated on?

This is not only humiliating Ji Mingliang, but also a slap in the face to the Ji family!

Hearing the whispers around him, he couldn't hold back any longer and questioned Zhao Ya, "Xiao Ya, you're Mingliang's girlfriend, how could you be so close to Young Master Xu?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen turned around and kissed Zhao Ya on the cheek in front of everyone, laughing loudly, "Uncle Ji, you don't know yet, do you? Besides the two billion, Brother Ji also lost Sister Xiao Ya to me. Now she's my woman."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of those around them became incredibly strange once again. Some couldn't help but shake their heads. The Ji family had lost face big time tonight. Not only had their young master's hand been broken, but their daughter-in-law had also lost. They would probably be the laughingstock of the entire Dongzhou for a long time to come.

Once Ye Chen and Zhao Ya were out of sight, Ji Xian finally couldn't hold back and roared, "Aaaaah... Xu family brat, if I don't kill you tonight, I'm your son!"

Seeing him so enraged, Ji Xiang, the second son of the Ji family, quickly ran over to persuade him, "Brother, a small act of impatience can ruin a great plan. Don't forget what we were told. We must control Xu Chun and let that old bastard Xu Guodong sabotage Ye Tianfeng's trip north."

Ji Xian took several deep breaths before he could barely suppress his anger. He said with a gloomy face, "Since this kid dared to come, he might have a secret way to contact Ye Chen. So we can't force him. We can only temporarily win him over and make him work for us."

"Brother, that's a brilliant move. But just winning him over isn't enough. Since this kid sent Mingliang here, it means he's wary of the Ji family and doesn't want to break ties. So, besides winning him over, we also need to show him the strength of our Ji family," Ji Xiang said, giving a thumbs up.

Ji Xian's eyes were gloomy, and he sneered repeatedly, "That Xu kid is a coward. As long as we intimidate him a bit, I guarantee he'll obediently call Xu Guodong."

After saying that, the two brothers quickly walked into the reception hall.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen had already taken Zhao Ya and sat casually on the main sofa, chatting and laughing.

Ji Xian forcibly suppressed his anger, sat opposite Ye Chen, and said solemnly, "Xiao Chun, since you saved Mingliang, you are the benefactor of the Ji family. I have to tell you some very bad news. The Xu family may be completely destroyed in a few days."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen's smile vanished instantly, replaced by a look of panic. "Ah... how is this possible? Who, who wants to attack our family?"

Seeing his expression, Ji Xian revealed a smug smile and said earnestly, "Isn't it all because your Xu family insisted on being loyal to the Ye family? The Ye family has fallen to this state, with only Ye Chen and Ye Tianfeng left among the male members. Don't you realize how powerful and influential they have offended?"

Ye Chen looked completely bewildered. "Uncle Ji, what are you talking about? Didn't all the men in the Ye family die fighting for their country? Who would deliberately target us?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Xian nearly vomited blood in anger, feeling as if he were giving a flirtatious look to a blind man.

Just how stupid must the eldest son of the Xu family be to believe such nonsense as the Ye family members dying on the battlefield?

He shook his head and patiently explained, "Xiaochun, you're too naive. Let me tell you today: those people from the Ye family didn't actually die in battle; they were hunted down for offending a powerful figure. Now they're targeting Ye Chen, Ye Tianfeng, and all the Ye family's affiliated forces, with the Xu family at the forefront!"

I thought that after I'd been so blunt, this fool from the Xu family would surely believe me, right? But to my surprise, he waved his hand dismissively and said, "Alright, Uncle Ji, don't try to scare me just because I'm young. Nothing like what you're saying ever happened unless you produce some evidence."

"Looks like you won't learn your lesson until you see the coffin." Ji Xian snorted coldly and said irritably, "Second brother, go to my safe and take out that video file."

Seeing Ji Xiang insert the USB drive into the media player, Ye Chen clenched his fists tightly, a chilling killing intent surging in his eyes, which made Zhao Ya, who was standing next to him, get goosebumps.

"These people from the Ji family are really courting death. They actually dared to produce that video footage." Zhao Ya sneered inwardly, already sentencing Ji Xian and the others to death.

After some maneuvering by Ji Xiang, the video finally started playing.

"Splash..."

The sound of surging seawater can be heard. The scene begins with an endless sea, but the camera quickly shifts to a deserted island in the sea, where a man covered in blood is facing an attack by dozens of experts.

He didn't recognize most of these people, but a few looked familiar. Among them were Hong Wanshan, the patriarch of the Hong family; a peak Foundation Establishment expert from the Ji family; and several experts from affiliated families of the Ye family—families Ye Chen hadn't known about before.

Seeing his sixth uncle finally collapse from exhaustion after killing more than a dozen experts, and then be hacked to pieces, Ye Chen's eyes sharpened, and an uncontrollable killing intent surged in his heart. His endless hatred finally coalesced into a single voice—Kill! Slaughter all the enemies of the Ye family and avenge all my uncles!

Upon seeing the video, Ji Xian said smugly, "How about it, Xiao Chun? Now you should believe that what I said was true, right?"

To be honest, Ye Chen wished he could slap this bastard to death right now, but Yan Dong and other experts hadn't arrived yet, so he couldn't make a move.

Thinking of this, he immediately feigned a look of great alarm, his voice trembling as he said, "Then... what should we do? Is our Xu family doomed? My grandfather and eldest sister are so foolish! How could they get involved with the Ye family? Uncle Ji, please save us!"

Seeing that he had finally taken the bait, Ji Xian couldn't help but reveal a mocking smile, and said in a low voice, "If you want to protect your family, I do have a way."
