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

"Young Master Ye, everything was done under Ji Xian's threat. We were actually very resistant, and it's all his fault."

"Yes, the Ji family is an affiliated family of the Ye family. Our loyalty to the Ye family is as clear as day."

"You must kill that bastard Ji Xian. He has ruined our Ji family."

Seeing that even their own daughter had betrayed Ji Xian, the Ji family members all chose to switch sides and sever ties with him. Ji Xiang, who had just been in cahoots with him, went even further, stepping forward and kneeling on one knee, declaring with righteous indignation, "Young Master Ye, please allow me to lead my men to take down this traitor Ji Xian, to prove the Ji family's tradition of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism."

Ji Xian never imagined that the family he had painstakingly built up would one day betray him, and so ruthlessly at that. His former beliefs crumbled rapidly.

"Hahaha, do you think Ye Chen will let you go if you surrender now? Many of you participated in the hunt for the Ye family. Even if you didn't participate, you've still enjoyed the benefits of being betrayed these past few years. Every single member of the Ji family here is innocent."

"Quick, shut him up!" Ji Xiang exclaimed in alarm.

"Kill him! Avenge Master Ye, avenge the Ye family!"

Fearing he would reveal all the evidence of their crimes, the Ji family came up to him and started punching and kicking him, knocking out all his teeth and giving him a severe beating.

Finally, Ji Xian, bruised and battered and on the verge of death, was dragged in front of Ye Chen and slammed down heavily.

Ji Xiang said with a fawning expression, "Young Master Ye, we know we were wrong. Just say the word, and I'll kill him right away."

The others knelt on the ground, smiling with a mixture of fear and ingratiation.

Seeing the Ji family's performance, Ye Chen was filled with disappointment. The Ji family was once a loyal and heroic family that had produced several war gods, but now it had been completely ruined by Ji Xian.

Thinking this, he sneered, "Since you're wrong, then tell me where you're wrong?"

Ji Xiang hurriedly spoke up, "We shouldn't have believed Ji Xian's nonsense and followed him to oppose the Ye family. We deserve to die!"

"Bang bang bang!" A group of people kowtowed frantically. Even Ji Xian, who was lying on the ground, was pulled up and made to kneel down, and his head was pressed down and repeatedly banged on the ground.

Ji Xian, seeing stars and covered in blood from the impact, couldn't help but roar, "Are you all fucking crazy? Do you really think Ye Chen will let you get away with what you've done? Don't dream! Just wait until…"

Before he could finish speaking, a stinky sock was stuffed into his mouth, and Ji Xiang rushed in front of him, frantically gesturing with his eyes.

He knew perfectly well that as long as they held out until Yan Dong and Zhou Ke'er arrived, along with the other experts from the Black Fiend Sect, they would definitely be able to capture Ye Chen. After all, the Black Fiend Sect was an ancient martial arts sect with an incredibly deep foundation and endless methods, far superior to ordinary martial artists.

His current fawning and subservient behavior is all just to buy time. That idiot Ji Xian almost let it slip and got himself killed.

Ye Chen took in the brothers' subtle actions, a mocking smile appearing on his lips.

At this moment, Ji Xiang knelt barefoot in front of Ye Chen, forcing a smile, and said, "Young Master Ye, we are willing to offer up all of the Ji family's assets worth hundreds of billions in exchange for your forgiveness."

"Oh, really?" Ye Chen showed a hint of interest.

The Ji family possesses assets of at least 1500 billion yuan, and coupled with the extensive network of connections they've cultivated in Dongzhou over the years, it tempted him. After taking over the Ji family, he could secretly replace key nodes in this network with his own people, quickly gaining control of the southeastern coastal region.

Seeing his reaction, Ji Xiang was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Please wait a moment, I will go and prepare the transfer agreement right away."

Ye Chen nodded and looked at Ji Ming, "Uncle Ming, you go with him."

Ji Xiang's lips twitched. This kid is really shrewd. He was thinking of deliberately stalling for time, but now it seems that's impossible.

Under Ji Ming's supervision, Ji Xiang quickly drafted the transfer agreement and then beat Ji Xian so that he would force him to sign and stamp it.

"Young Master Ye, the Ji family's assets have all been transferred to your name. Could you please let us off the hook?"

Ye Chen told Ji Ming to put the agreement away, raising an eyebrow and saying, "Did I promise you anything just now? Besides, these assets originally belonged to the Ye family. How did they become yours after being here for five years?"

"You...you never intended to let us go from beginning to end." The Ji family was both shocked and furious.

"Hahaha, you're all filthy, yet you still dream of living. How laughable and pathetic!" Ji Xian spat out the sock from his mouth and laughed maniacally.

This time, no one stopped him. Everyone looked ashen-faced. Since they had betrayed him first, how could they expect Ye Chen to abide by the rules? Wasn't that ridiculous?

Ji Ming looked at Ye Chen and cupped his hands slightly, somewhat embarrassed: "Young Master Ye, Ji Xian and Ji Xiang do deserve to die, but there are also some people in the Ji family who know nothing about this matter. Please be lenient and let me handle this matter."

After saying that, he quickly added, "Don't worry, I won't let any of those who participated in harming the Ye family get away with it!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Qingxue pouted, somewhat displeased, and said, "Father, have you forgotten how they treated our family? And now you're still pleading for them?"

Ji Ming sighed, "After all, they are all members of the Ji family."

After a moment's thought, Ye Chen slowly nodded and said, "In that case, I will give Uncle Ming face and leave this matter to you."

Hearing his words, Ji Ming was deeply moved and said with utmost solemnity, "If you ever need anything in the future, please feel free to ask. I, Ji Ming, will go through fire and water for you without hesitation."

"Brother Chen, me too." Ji Qingxue glanced at Ye Chen, her pretty face slightly flushed.

Ye Chen laughed heartily upon hearing this: "Uncle Ming, you flatter me. But if you need my help, I won't hesitate to ask."

Ji Ming laughed heartily, "That's right, we're all family, no need to be so polite."

He felt a warm glow in his heart. Ye Chen's words clearly showed that he considered him one of his own. His daughter was not young anymore, and she and Ye Chen were childhood sweethearts. He wondered if they could rekindle their romance.

Just as he was thinking these things, Ye Chen spoke up: "Uncle Ming, let them keep an eye on things here. Let's find somewhere else to talk."

Ji Ming just said that he has all the criminal information about Ji Xian, as well as the list of those targeting the Ye family, which he urgently needs to know.

"Okay, here's the information I've collected over the years." Ji Ming nodded and led him to a room next door.

Seeing the two figures leave, Ji Xian roared frantically, "No, you can't give him the list, or we're finished. Those big shots up there will definitely not let us off the hook."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he was rushed up by the angry Ji family members and beaten and kicked again.

Ye Chen clearly admitted it just now, is this bastard trying to kill them?
