nt is so cheeky! It's already great that you want some water, why are you asking for tea leaves too 。 It's not possible, right You can't even afford tea leaves What about the good tea leaves that you...Lang Si, who was mentally prepared to kill one for a profit and two for a psychological gain, suddenly appeared in surprise. After Zitu's entry, the Xiao Dao team unexpectedly retreated step by step, while their morale remained high, breaking free from constraints and charging towards the hail of bullets fearlessly!

Although the people sent out by Xia Dao were numerous, they were all scoundrels. Most importantly, they lacked a leader. Figures like Hei Xiong and Qing She had disappeared. While they could hold their own against Lang Si's men when attacking, once Lang Si's men counter-attacked, these disorganized and undisciplined people’s weaknesses became fully apparent. They scattered almost instantly, without even a symbolic resistance. This allowed Lang Si and his men to easily regain control of Qing Dao Kou.

When Lang Si was arranging for people to return to the Qing Dao Nightclub, he couldn't find Fatty's trace anywhere.

At night, on the spacious roads of Beijing, a Buick was driving at an extreme speed beyond its capacity.

Inside a Buick, a fat man was happily munching on a drumstick.

"Aren't you afraid of getting killed Speeding like that on a crowded street in Beijing" The fat man said nonchalantly, munching on his chicken leg, but he didn't seem nervous at all.

While Ye Fan was driving, he ignored him and said something that seemed unrelated, "The old man has come out of the mountain."

This seemingly ordinary sentence sounded to the fat man like a bomb, he shot up straight, threw his drumstick aside, and cried out in surprise, "What"

I wouldn't have believed it either, but it's true. I just received a message from Silly Girl. Ye Fan recalled Silly Girl's innocent and naive smile that day, a hint of a smile appeared on his lips.

The fat man seemed to have not yet recovered from the shock, and muttered to himself: "How could he leave Lishan for no reason Think about it, he's been there for over twenty years, how could he suddenly decide to leave..."

"Wouldn't that just be our business, then" the fat man said in doubt.

Ye Fan shook his head, "The sky in Yanjing hasn't changed, and we haven't stirred up anything. I don't think so."

"Then something fishy is going on," Fatty said meaningfully.

Not to mention that the fat man couldn't figure it out, he was also confused. He knew his grandfather best. When he was kicked out of the family, he swore he would never step into the Ye family again in his life. For more than 20 years, he had been living quietly in Lishan Mountain, and he had never even set foot in Beijing. Why did he suddenly appear in Beijing without warning this time

I can't figure it out! Ye Fan demonstrated the driving skills he learned on the border years ago to the fullest. The Buick sped along like a rocket.

At this time, in a mansion on Tongren Road in the north of Yanjing City, the lights were bright.

Tongren Road, taking its name from the meaning of "four generations working together," is said to have housed founding heroes of four different empires in succession. In Yanjing, land is famously valuable, but Tongren Road occupies tens of thousands of acres yet only has a few mansions scattered across it. These mansions were awarded by the empire to elders who made outstanding contributions to the empire as a token of appreciation.

And all those who could afford to live on this street were prominent figures of their time, each symbolizing status and prestige.

At the very end of Tongren Road, there is an unassuming courtyard. Such an ordinary courtyard situated on a street with such special significance makes one ponder, but those familiar with this place wouldn't dare to look down upon its owner for this reason.

Because the people here, their voices carry the shadow of the Imperial Army.

Here, this is the once powerful Ye Family!

However, the gate today seems like it hasn't been painted in years. It has faded slightly. The plaque on the door with the two large characters "Ye Han" has undoubtedly experienced countless years of wind and rain. It gives one a sense of vicissitudes and solidity, but the characters on the plaque are still powerful and majestic!

In the Ye family's grand hall, at the very front, sat a venerable old man. His head was completely white with age, having witnessed the ebb and flow of time. Though his years were many, his piercing eyes still held an imposing air that made people reluctant to meet his gaze!

He is the current head of the Ye family, Ye Wuming!

Opposite Ye Wuming sat another man with a head full of silver hair. The old man was likely in his sixties or seventies, and his aura was more refined and elegant compared to Ye Wuming's.

If Ye Fan were present, he would be astonished to discover that this person was none other than the patriarch of the Si Kong family from Linhai City.

Ye Wuming looked at Sikong and couldn't help but think of the past. He held Sikong's hand tightly and said emotionally, "Old brother, it's been over twenty years since we last saw each other. You still have the same dashing spirit, while I am now an old man!" His words were filled with a hint of melancholy.

Si Kong couldn't help but think about the past events once again, a wave of emotion washed over him. Back then, he was quite renowned in Yanjing, but after that incident, he stepped down from the stage and went to Linhai to develop his career. It was all because of that person that he silently swore in his heart to never set foot in Yanjing again in this lifetime!

But what he didn't expect was that years ago, the current head of the Ye family, Ye Wuming, would actually call him and ask him to go to the Ye family within three days to say goodbye. The real reason why Sikong Ning had to go against his oath from back then and set off for the Ye family was because Ye Wuming said one sentence: "I have a request of you."

Because back then, when he was down on his luck, it was the Ye family who helped him. With the support of the Ye family, he was able to establish his own power. And from that time on, through many interactions with the Ye family, Ye Wudao and Sikong became very close, so they became sworn brothers.

But, later on...

He thought of Ye Wudao imprisoned in Lishan. Sikong couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness. He had wanted to ask Ye Wuming several times, but after all, it was someone else's family affair, and he, an outsider, had no right to intervene.

Ye Wuming seemed to still be lost in the memories of those years, his voice still fervent as he said, "Over the past twenty years, the Si Kong family has grown and prospered, while our Ye family... is no longer what it used to be."

He was taken aback. The Ye family, as the founding family of the Empire, held an unparalleled status. The Empire had always remembered its veteran families, and the Ye family, in particular, controlled the vast majority of the Empire's military power. They were undoubtedly a supreme clan within the Empire. But why would the head of the Ye family say such things to him

Siku remained silent, listening quietly. He knew Ye Wuming must have something to tell him.

As expected, Ye Wuming let out a long sigh and said, "Little brother, you still haven't gotten over the fact that I drove Wu Dao out of the Ye family all those years ago!"

"No." Si Kong hastily got up. Although Ye Wu Ming had been out of his position for many years, he still held an extraordinary status in the empire.

Ye Wuming waved his hand, motioning for Sikong to sit down. "Actually, I had my reasons back then too. Wu Dao was the most brilliant jewel of our Ye family's generation. Do you think I would really have been willing to let him leave the family You know the situation at the time, I was forced into it…"

Siku silently remained speechless. He didn't know who was right and who was wrong from back then, he only knew that Yi Guan was his benefactor and Yi Tou was his sworn brother. He couldn't take sides between the two, so he had no choice but to choose to withdraw.

He raised his head to say something, but suddenly saw the wrinkles on Ye Wuming's forehead. His heart skipped a beat, and in this moment, he felt as if he had aged many years...defeat me with one hand, I'll tell you a secret. How about it"If it were Miao Rou, she wouldn't laugh at all, nor would she waste words with me. So who is this personThis piqued Ye Fan's curiosity, an...
