Even among the other seven clans in the capital, no one dared to offend Changsun Che.
This was because his methods were ruthless, and he acted like a mad dog, completely disregarding reason.
When Ye Kunlun stopped Changsun Che, it directly ignited the beast within him, making him wish he could grind Ye Kunlun into dust!
Ye Kunlun calmly watched Changsun Che, who was threatening him, and said indifferently, "Let me remind you, those who threaten me never end well!"
As he spoke, Ye Kunlun applied a little more pressure.
Changsun Che cried out in pain, his face contorted, but he showed no signs of backing down. "Kid, unless you kill me, I'll kill you!"
Changsun Che's stance was one of mutual destruction with Ye Kunlun.
"Oh, since you want to die, I'll grant your wish!"
When Ye Kunlun said this, everyone was startled, especially by his calm demeanor.
It was as if killing Changsun Che was as simple as swatting an ant.
Zhang Yuan had already recovered from his shock. The calmness in Ye Kunlun's eyes instilled a deep sense of fear in his heart.
Qian Rourou also quickly regained her senses, afraid that Ye Kunlun would actually kill Changsun Che. She hurriedly spoke to stop him, "Mr. Ye, please calm down!"
Changsun Che's identity was too sensitive. If Ye Kunlun killed him here, it would shock the entire capital.
At that time, everyone present would be implicated, and no one would be able to escape!
Even with all of Ye Kunlun's abilities, he might not be able to protect everyone.
Although Changsun Che was frenzied, filled with hatred and murderous intent towards Ye Kunlun, he was not foolish. He caught a strong killing intent in Ye Kunlun's indifferent eyes.
He was certain that Ye Kunlun's words just now were not a joke; he would genuinely kill him!
"Kid, let our young master go!"
Several bodyguards immediately surrounded Ye Kunlun. "If you dare to harm our young master, the Changsun family will never let you off, no matter where you run!"
Facing the threats of the bodyguards, Ye Kunlun chuckled lightly, "Oh? Is that so?"
*Crack—*
As Ye Kunlun chuckled, a crisp sound echoed on the third floor of the Songhe Tower.
He had actually crushed Changsun Che's forearm bone, leaving only flesh and blood connecting the hand, making it look terrifying and grotesque.
"Ahhh!"
Changsun Che, having been pampered since childhood, was in excruciating pain that ordinary people could not endure. He was almost close to fainting.
The bodyguards were stunned, never expecting Ye Kunlun to actually act. They dared not make any rash moves for a moment!
"Mr. Ye, please calm down."
Qian Rourou took a deep breath. She had to stop Ye Kunlun from killing Changsun Che.
*Bang—*
Ye Kunlun kicked Changsun Che directly towards the stairwell. He tumbled down the stairs.
The bodyguards' faces turned pale, and they immediately chased after him.
Qian Rourou let out a sigh of relief.
"What? You're afraid I'll kill him?" Ye Kunlun glanced at Qian Rourou indifferently.
"Mr. Ye, killing Changsun Che is not worth it," Qian Rourou thought for a moment, then looked up at Ye Kunlun and replied.
Ye Kunlun nodded and said indifferently, "Killing him is indeed not worth it. He's just an ant."
Zhang Yuan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and swallowed nervously. "Mr. Ye, I'll give this painting, 'Crane and Pine', to Miss Liu Meng."
"How can that be?" Liu Meng, still somewhat shaken, regained her senses. "It'll be sixty million. We can't let Boss Zhang lose money."
Although the Liu family was not among the richest, they were still a top conglomerate. Sixty million was just pocket money for Liu Meng for a year.
Using a year's worth of pocket money to buy An Shishan's authentic "Crane and Pine" was definitely not a loss, especially since it was a gift for Qian Rourou's grandfather.
Zhang Yuan did not refuse.
"Mr. Ye, after today, the Songhe Tower will be closed for a few days."
Zhang Yuan smiled sheepishly. "Everyone with influence in the capital knows who Changsun Che is. If he had an arm broken by you in the Songhe Tower, he will never let this go."
"If you need anything, you can contact me at this number."
Saying that, Zhang Yuan took out a business card and handed it to Ye Kunlun.
Ye Kunlun thought for a moment and accepted it. After all, the Songhe Tower had to close because of him.
Ye Kunlun also felt a bit bad about it and replied, "Boss Zhang, if you encounter any trouble, you can come to Yan Dou Hutong, number 9."
After speaking, Ye Kunlun asked Elder Li to secure the "Crane and Pine" painting and then left with Liu Meng and Qian Rourou.
As soon as the three of them left, Zhang Yuan apologized to Elder Li and Elder Xu, "The two elders, I need to go out to avoid the trouble. I apologize for causing you inconvenience."
"Hmph, Changsun Che is so arrogant. Does he really think I, Old Li, am easy to bully? I'm going to report this to Shanhe Tai!"
After speaking, Elder Li left indignantly. Elder Xu quickly followed suit.
Soon, the Songhe Tower announced an emergency and closed its doors.
On the way out of the antique street, Qian Rourou remained silent, not knowing what to say.
It was then that Liu Meng spoke, "Ye Kunlun, thank you for what happened just now."
Ye Kunlun replied, "I thought you wouldn't thank me."
"I'm not as unreasonable as Changsun Che," Liu Meng rolled her eyes at Ye Kunlun, her face still showing a trace of lingering fear. "I'm just worried he'll retaliate against you, and also against our Liu family."
Liu Meng's eyes reddened slightly. Their Liu family did not have the power to contend with the Changsun family.
If Changsun Che made a move, the Liu family would surely suffer.
"Xiao Meng, don't be afraid. I will stand with you," Qian Rourou comforted by holding Liu Meng's hand. "We'll face anything together."
"Mr. Ye, perhaps you should also go out to avoid the trouble?" Qian Rourou worried about Liu Meng and also about Ye Kunlun.
Ye Kunlun chuckled lightly, looking at the two sisters who cared deeply for each other, and said with a smile, "You might not know, but I taught Changsun Han a lesson a few days ago. It seems Changsun Che doesn't know about this yet, or perhaps he doesn't know it was me."
"But, I'm still here, aren't I?"
Ye Kunlun shrugged, appearing relaxed. "Alright, you've bought what you needed and were just frightened. You should go back and rest."
"We haven't bought jewelry for Sister Yun yet," Qian Rourou replied.
"In a couple of days. There's no rush."
Ye Kunlun thought for a moment. Yun Chuxue should not be able to come for another three to five days.
"Okay, then Xiao Meng and I will go back to rest. Thank you again, Sir, for your trouble today."
Qian Rourou thanked Ye Kunlun.
When they reached the east street intersection, a luxury car stopped. Qian Rourou and Liu Meng got in.
Ye Kunlun played with a broken bell he had found at Wanbao Zhai. It contained a very obscure, hard-to-detect trace of Yin energy.
It was precisely because of this that Ye Kunlun had taken a liking to it.
Moreover, such items were generally used during burials or sacrifices, and might be useful for assisting Witch Spirit Incense.
Ye Kunlun planned to try it out when he had time.
Afterward, he put away the broken bell and hailed a car to the Nangong family.
Nangong Yunshao's physical condition was no longer a major concern, and it was time to obtain the Nangong family's wordless book.
