In the family compound, under the grape arbor of the quadrangle.
Secretary Liu reluctantly put away his phone, chuckling wryly, "Sir, he already knows the mastermind is Yuwen Hao!"
"He wants to take revenge on Yuwen Hao?"
The old man, lying on the rattan chair, opened his eyes as he spoke. He asked with a smile, "What do you think of him?"
Secretary Liu hesitated for a moment before giving an objective evaluation, "He's a bit impulsive and doesn't follow orders. If this continues, he'll cause a lot more trouble!"
After all, the Yuwen family was one of the eight major families in the capital, and their influence in the capital and across China was not small.
If Ye Cangtian made a move against Yuwen Hao, the Yuwen family would definitely not let it go.
"Impulsive, causes trouble, disobeys orders."
The old man murmured to himself, a meaningful smile appearing on his face, "Isn't this kind of troublemaker exactly what we need?"
Secretary Liu looked surprised, "So, what is the old man's intention?"
The old man smiled without speaking, sat up from the rattan chair, waved his hand, and said, "Go, get ready. We might be in for a good show tonight!"
Although the old man said nothing, Secretary Liu immediately guessed the old man's decision.
He was filled with emotion, wondering if this Ye Cangtian could actually garner such attention from the chief.
...
It was late at night!
Some time had passed since the previous call. Yuwen Hao sat in his living room, still somewhat frightened.
Ye Cangtian knows I was behind it, he's going to kill me, right?
Yuwen Hao had lost all his previous confidence and arrogance. He had investigated Ye Cangtian and knew that this guy would retaliate for any wrong done to him, so he was now very worried that the other party would come seeking revenge.
"Steward Li, has my father returned?" Yuwen Hao asked.
"Second Young Master, the Master went out for a social engagement. We servants don't know when he'll be back!" the old steward said with a wry smile.
"Then, have you contacted my brother?" Yuwen Hao asked again.
"The Eldest Young Master said yesterday before he left that we wouldn't be able to contact him for a while!"
After replying, the old steward smiled helplessly, "Second Young Master, you really don't need to worry. Even if someone really wants to kill you, our Yuwen family can ensure they never return."
He truly couldn't understand why the usually arrogant Second Young Master had a change of heart today. First, he had frantically asked him to gather the family's guards and bodyguards.
And now he was incessantly inquiring about the Master and the Eldest Young Master's whereabouts.
What had happened to the Second Young Master outside to provoke him? Or had he truly provoked someone formidable?
Steward Li had been with the Yuwen family for decades. In all those years, he had never seen anyone foolish enough to come to the Yuwen family to cause trouble.
After comforting Yuwen Hao for a few sentences, Steward Li said, "Second Young Master, I still need to go back and prepare a hangover soup for the Master. I will have the guards nearby keep a close watch on the surroundings. Second Young Master, you don't need to worry!"
Yuwen Hao nodded. He didn't go upstairs to rest but waited on the living room sofa.
He had a feeling that the other party would definitely come tonight.
He reached for the cigarette box on the coffee table, took out a cigarette, and his hands trembled slightly as he lit it. Yuwen Hao was genuinely a bit nervous.
He couldn't help but recall his elder brother Yuwen Chengji's warning not to provoke Ye Cangtian easily, but he hadn't listened and had insisted on revenge.
Yuwen Hao was worried that his brother would scold him, so he had done everything secretly. Only after his brother Yuwen Chengji left did he have people act.
But now, he regretted it!
However, with so many family guards, that guy shouldn't dare to deal with me, right?
Yuwen Hao comforted himself, lit the cigarette, and took a deep puff.
But then, his eyes suddenly widened, his expression one of seeing a ghost.
"Ye... Ye Cangtian, how did you get in!" His body began to tremble, his mouth quivering slightly.
Yuwen Hao felt as if he had seen a ghost. With so many family guards outside, how did this person get in? Were those guys outside all idiots?
He was terrified! The cigarette he had just lit slipped from his lips and fell to the ground.
Ye Cangtian's lips curved upwards, and he said with a cold laugh, "Yuwen Hao, your memory seems to be quite poor! Your facial injuries have healed, right?"
"What do you want?" Yuwen Hao's expression changed, and he said through gritted teeth.
"What do I want?"
Ye Cangtian shook his head and smiled, then said in a chilling tone, "Kidnapping my fiancée. Do you think I'll let this matter go?"
"I don't know what you're talking about, Ye Cangtian. This is the Yuwen family's residence. Do you intend to oppose the Yuwen family?" Yuwen Hao did not admit it. His heart began to panic, and his feet slowly moved backward.
"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. As long as I know you were the one who orchestrated it, that's enough!"
Ye Cangtian looked at him mockingly, exuding killing intent, and said word by word, "Those who touch my inverse scale shall die!"
He wants to kill me?
Yuwen Hao felt a chill rise from the crown of his head. His face changed drastically, and he turned to flee outside.
"Help! Uh..."
After all, he was just an ordinary person. As he reached the living room door, Ye Cangtian kicked him back.
Outside!
The Yuwen family guards stationed around heard the cry for help and immediately rushed towards the pavilion not far away.
However, as soon as they reached the pavilion, a figure smashed through the window and fell out.
It was Yuwen Hao, covered in injuries, falling to the ground and rolling a few times before stopping.
Ye Cangtian pushed open the large door and looked at the more than twenty Yuwen family guards outside. He walked out slowly, as Yuwen Hao was not dead yet.
It was impossible to let him off so easily!
"Attack!" The guards treated him as a formidable enemy and rushed towards Ye Cangtian.
Most of the Yuwen family guards were professionally trained, and their overall strength was not inferior to that of regular armies.
Furthermore, as the melee continued, the number of guards increased, converging from various directions of the Yuwen family.
However, at this moment, everyone stopped!
Ye Cangtian lifted Yuwen Hao with one hand, making the guards hesitate to advance further.
"Let go of our Second Young Master! Who are you?"
The old steward rushed over anxiously. Seeing Yuwen Hao lying in his hands, barely alive, he was terrified.
Ye Cangtian glanced at him and sneered, "The Yuwen family is indeed wealthy and influential, no wonder you are so arrogant. But I, Ye Cangtian, don't care about that. Today, Yuwen Hao is doomed to die!"
Everyone present could feel the chill emanating from him. The guards were very nervous. If a villain broke into the Yuwen family to commit violence and something happened to the young master, they would all be held accountable!
The old steward was even more anxious, trembling and unable to speak.
However, at this moment, a voice rang out, "What a big mouth!"
Soon, a group of people was seen approaching in a hurry. Leading them was a middle-aged man with a somewhat grim and annoyed expression.
He was none other than the head of the Yuwen family—Yuwen Qi, and also the father of Yuwen Hao and Yuwen Chengji.
