The assistant had never witnessed such a scene.
In her memory, Ye Lin, a figure among the top fifty on the Martial Arts Ranking, was renowned even in the capital. Yet, now she was being dragged in by her hair!
This was a profound humiliation!
A great shame for the Ye family!
Upon witnessing this, the assistant quietly withdrew from the reception hall.
"Now that you see me, you don't even call me Big Brother anymore?"
Ye Longlin wore a smile, appearing harmless.
But those familiar with him knew the terrifying, hidden heart beneath that innocent facade!
Ye Lin felt a throbbing pain in her scalp. As she clutched her head, about to utter threats, she heard Ye Longlin's voice and trembled, a flicker of fear in her eyes.
"B-Big Brother..."
Ye Lin was filled with a mix of terror and shock.
Not facing him and facing him were two entirely different matters!
"You still recognize me as your Big Brother?"
Ye Lin ignored the pain in her scalp, gritting her teeth and standing up, like a child who had made a mistake, her voice barely a whisper.
"Th-That... naturally... a brother is a brother."
The talent she displayed from childhood was enough to crush the younger generation of the Ye family!
Later, after gaining fame in the military, she single-handedly conquered the military ranks, becoming a nightmare for the younger generation!
Suddenly, Ye Longlin slapped her across the face. With a crisp "slap," a clear imprint of his five fingers appeared on her beautiful face.
"Slap!"
The clear sound echoed.
Ye Longlin's voice was icy as he questioned, "Who gave you the guts to poison Lin Langsheng?"
Ye Lin trembled, her eyes filled with fear, "Big Brother... I... I..."
Ye Longlin casually flipped through the newspaper before him. The rustling sound of the paper made her jump.
Gritting her teeth, she found an excuse, "Big Brother! I couldn't stand how they treated you! When you were in the capital, you could suppress them with one hand, but here?"
Ye Longlin scoffed, "Do my affairs require your interference?"
After a pause, he continued, "I remember you never lied before, and you used to stick to me the most."
As if recalling something, a knowing smile graced his lips.
Ye Lin gave a wry smile, "Brother, people change, especially in a place like the Ye family, which has become a den of iniquity. The Ye family has changed; it's no longer the same Ye family. It's become calculating."
Ye Longlin tapped his fingers on the table, remaining silent. A subtle pressure filled the small space.
Ye Lin felt unable to breathe.
"Those people from back then must be dealt with. If you want the Ye family of the past, then stay in the Ye family and report to me at any time."
Most importantly, there was the intelligence network.
As long as the intelligence network was sufficiently powerful, it would be enough to maneuver between various factions using information.
Ye Lin suddenly felt a sense of relief. Since the topic had shifted, did it mean there was no further issue?
However, the next moment, upon hearing Ye Longlin's words, her entire body felt as if plunged into an ice cellar!
"Someone has to take responsibility for this matter!"
Ye Lin's face turned pale again, clearly indicating that someone would have to take the fall for this.
"Three days from now is Uncle Lin's funeral. Four pallbearers will accompany Uncle Lin in his burial."
As the words fell, he slowly stood up, hands behind his back, and left the reception hall, Yuan Gang following closely.
The unspoken meaning of his words was perfectly clear: find someone to take the blame.
He was not a saint, but between two choices, he would definitely choose the one that benefited him.
This was even more true for someone like him.
Lin Langsheng... no matter what, he was already dead. Disrupting his own plans for a dead person was unwise.
However, Star City had now become the center of the storm!
"Ye Longlin... Big Brother... Heh heh... Do you really think my hypocrisy and scheming are for you? It's laughable. Can the scale of the Ye family be shaken by you?"
"However, judging by his appearance, he has indeed taken action against the Ye family. It seems I need to notify the family!"
A cold glint flickered in Ye Lin's eyes.
She was not as simple as she appeared.
Just as she had said, if she were truly so naive within the Ye family, she would have been eliminated countless times by now.
"Notify the HR department. Assistant has violated company regulations and is hereby dismissed!"
The thought of those two seeing her in such a sorry state made her furious, and all of this was brought about by Ye Longlin!
Ye Longlin's entry into the military was no secret in the capital. Previously, his single-handed conquest of the military ranks had already instilled apprehension in the Ye family. And now, he might already be on the Ye family's kill list.
The Ye family's Mingqing Hall in the capital.
"Ye Lin just sent a message that Ye Longlin appeared in Star City. The last time Ye Chen was crippled, he was also crippled in Star City. Could it be that the military is also targeting Star City?"
The Grand Elder spoke slowly, his tone unhurried.
"It's unlikely. The military only deals with martial arts, not commerce. However, it's possible now, with the unstable border, they might send people there, and this person could be Ye Longlin, given he's the top of the military rankings."
"Top of the military rankings? Forget it. That's just a list published by the military. To put it bluntly, it's just a self-amusing list from the military with little substantial value."
Several figures spoke their minds.
At this moment, a man in a suit entered. He cast a cold glance at those seated and then took the head seat.
"Ye Longlin, this person must be eliminated!"
"But the question is, how can he be eliminated through legitimate means? He has military backing, which is his greatest support!"
This was a matter that troubled them. They had tried to act before, but the result was always a warning from the military.
Without the certainty of taking action, they would undoubtedly become thorns in the military's side!
"Indeed. Only by eliminating him can we rest assured. Moreover, he is the son of Ye Guohui, and Ye Guohui has already been posthumously honored. It's even harder to kill him now."
Everyone present fell silent, their eyes showing a trace of helplessness, yet they had no solution.
"Alright, this matter ends here. Have Ye Lin observe Ye Longlin. If there's an opportunity to act, immediately send the Ancestor Elder!"
The remaining individuals all nodded.
After they left, the man in the black suit standing at the forefront of Mingqing Hall narrowed his eyes as he watched their retreating figures.
"Your faction has become too powerful, so you must be eliminated. If anyone from your faction is still alive, no one can suppress you. The Ye family's clan extermination incident in my great-grandfather's generation, I do not wish to see it happen again under my leadership. Therefore... you must be eliminated!"
