Chapter 234: Your Grandpa Has Something To Say

Ye Changlin, an elder of the Ye family and Ye Guanzhen's uncle had suddenly burst into the room. Despite his status as an elder, Ye Changlin now followed the will of the entire Ye family and took orders from the young heir, Ye Guanzhen.

He hurried over to Ye Guanzhen and whispered urgently, "There's been an incident."

"Uncle," Ye Guanzhen said, standing up and moving to the side. "What happened?"

Ye Changlin leaned closer and whispered, "The Black Viper unit has been completely wiped out. Only two members of the God-Slaying Squad returned, and they reported that the female officer was rescued."

What?

Ye Guanzhen was shocked. He had secretly nurtured the Black Viper organization. They were far from weak and were equipped with prohibited firearms. Even a skilled warrior at the Meridian Expanding Realm could easily fall prey to them if they were caught off guard.

Moreover, the God-Slaying Squad were a professional combat team from the Gu family. Each member was a seasoned Meridian Expanding Realm expert.

We’d just dispatched both forces to ensure the elimination of that police officer. But the mission still failed?

Unease began to creep into Ye Guanzhen’s heart.

Could this be a hidden move by Tan Zhenwei?

"Who rescued her?" he asked, his voice low as he ushered Ye Changlin to the doorway of the conference room.

Ye Changlin hesitated before answering, "The survivors from the God-Slaying Squad reported that it was... it was... Li Xiaofei."

"What?" Ye Guanzhen exclaimed in shock, raising his voice involuntarily.

His outburst caught the attention of everyone else in the conference room, who now looked curiously. Realizing his lapse in composure, Ye Guanzhen took a deep breath and quickly calmed himself.

Li Xiaofei! How could it be that insect?

He had heard bits and pieces about the events in the high school league and the gang conflicts. As a star student who had suddenly risen to prominence this semester, Li Xiaofei had exerted some pressure on the Ye family's operations at Duxing High School and had even caused setbacks in their plans for the slums.

Even Ye Liushuang had met his end at the hands of this boy during a gang negotiation. But none of this truly mattered to Ye Guanzhen. Those who planned great things were not troubled by small details. Those who seek to rule great nations were not concerned with a single city.

Ye Guanzhen's ambitions encompassed the entire Liuhe Base City and even extended to the entire Northwest District. He stood at a higher vantage point and saw further into the future. To him, Li Xiaofei's brief moments of glory were nothing more than the antics of a small-time clown. It was not worth paying attention to.

Once his grand plan was set in motion, Ye Guanzhen had a thousand ways to erase Li Xiaofei from existence without a trace. But to his surprise, it was this very clown who had stepped forward and disrupted his plans at such a crucial moment.

This shouldn’t have happened. The most optimistic assessment of Li Xiaofei would only allow him to challenge someone at the Acupoint Opening Realm using some secret technique. How could he possibly force the God-Slaying Squad to retreat in defeat?

"What exactly happened?" Ye Guanzhen asked in a low, serious tone.

Ye Changlin recounted the events as he understood them, concluding with, "The Gu family is furious. They believe we provided them with bad information, leading to the severe losses suffered by the God-Slaying Squad. They are demanding an explanation from us."

Ye Guanzhen rubbed his temples as he felt a headache looming. "Keep them calm for now. Double the defensive personnel at the investigation team’s headquarters. No one is to be allowed inside. We'll deal with everything after tonight."

Ye Changlin nodded and replied, "Understood, I'll take care of it right away."

Ye Changlin quickly left. Ye Guanzhen let out a sigh of relief as he returned to his seat. He realized he needed to take Li Xiaofei more seriously.

Once tonight is over, that little troublemaker has to be eliminated. As for the police officer and the evidence... There is no need to worry too much. If the evidence cannot reach Tan Zhenwei, it’s useless. It will not change the overall situation.

Just as these thoughts ran through his mind, there was a loud bang as the conference room door was suddenly thrown open again. To his surprise, Ye Changlin had returned, stumbling and nearly falling as he rushed in.

Ye Guanzhen frowned.

What’s going on with this elder? Instead of handling the situation, why has he come back, and in such a frantic state?

"Chen... news from Old Chen's Offal Shop..." Ye Changlin stammered, his face pale.

Ye Guanzhen froze for a moment. He knew very well what was supposed to happen at Old Chen's Offal Shop. It was all a part of tonight's plan. The idea was to use Tan Qingying's safety to force Tan Zhenwei into resigning. It was the key to the second phase of their plan.

Gu Langtian, a formidable force and a shrewd strategist from the Saint family, was a very reliable partner. That genius should have already succeeded in his task by now.

Could something have gone wrong?

"What happened at Old Chen's Offal Shop? Speak!" Tan Zhenwei suddenly shouted, his face filled with killing intent.

His fists were clenched tightly. Just a moment ago, his heart had skipped a beat upon hearing the name Old Chen's Offal Shop. That was a place his daughter frequented.

The Ye family dared to lay a hand on my daughter? Have they lost their minds? Both the Tan and An families are part of the Saint lineage. How can the Ye family even think of harming someone who carried the blood of not one, but two Saint families? But Little Ying should be safe with Liu Yun present.

Ye Changlin glanced at Ye Guanzhen, who frowned and said, "Speak up, what happened?"

Ye Changlin hesitated for a moment before replying, "It's... Young Master Gu Langtian... he's... something happened to him."

What?

Ye Guanzhen was stunned, as a sense of dread quickly rose within him. "What... what happened to him?"

Ye Changlin leaned closer and whispered, "Young Master Gu was killed."

Ye Guanzhen felt a wave of dizziness hit him.

Gu Langtian, dead? How can that be possible? Who could have killed this genius of the Gu family?

But before Ye Changlin could say anything further, suddenly, a chorus of gasps echoed through the conference room. The faces of the investigation team members, including Qian Yuangang, were filled with disbelief.

What's going on?

A huge question mark flashed in Ye Guanzhen's mind. He noticed that the others in the room were now looking at him with a hint of sympathy in their eyes. Even Nie Sheng, the police chief who had betrayed Tan Zhenwei to join the Ye family's camp, was staring at the light core in his hand. He was now pale and slumped back in his chair, as sweat drenched him.

More bad news?

A wave of intense unease surged through Ye Guanzhen's heart like a tidal wave.

At that moment, Tan Zhenwei suddenly burst into laughter. His face was alight with joy.

"Someone, project the light core screen. Hahaha, let everyone see!"

No one objected. Amidst Ye Guanzhen's growing confusion, the large screen in the conference room slowly powered up.

The screen was immediately switched to a livestream. But the name of the livestream was somewhat bizarre.

Your Grandpa Has Something to Say.
