The question Xu Ling asked froze the entire household, leaving both Xu Daqiang and Zhang Xueping at a loss for words.
After a long consideration, Xu Daqiang said, "I think, he’ll definitely co looking for trouble with us."
"We must be on guard against him now, after all..."
Xu Daqiang thought of what Ye Ming had been through before, being cuckolded and beaten up by Wang Hai, sothing no man could tolerate.
Now having killed Wang Hai and beco a murderer, he might well continue to kill, reasoning that killing one was as good as killing more—it would only be to his profit.
Rembering how they had once insulted Ye Ming without rcy, Xu Daqiang was filled with regret; his whole family was probably dood.
Just then, Xu Daqiang suddenly had an idea and said to Xu Ling, "Even if Ye Ming isn’t planning on hurting us, we should have a way to deal with it; didn’t Young Master Chen say he would stand with you before? Maybe he can help us."
Zhang Xueping strongly agreed with this idea, echoing, "Right, right, right, we still have Young Master Chen; he can definitely handle Ye Ming. With him around, Ye Ming wouldn’t dare make a move against us rashly."
The couple looked at Xu Ling in unison, their aning quite clear—they wanted Xu Ling to make so sacrifice, to use her beauty to win over Chen Feng’s favor, in order to protect the whole family.
Xu Ling had no objections; Wang Hai was already dead, and she was single, so it was only right to find a new support, especially since the Chen Family had a much higher status than Wang Hai.
"I’ll give it a try!" Xu Ling hurried to the dressing table and carefully dressed herself up, even putting on her low-cut dress on purpose.
Once the makeover was complete, Xu Ling regained her confidence. It was just the insignificant Ye Ming, what was there to be afraid of!
But when she called Chen Feng, Xu Ling was puzzled.
Chen Feng’s phone was connected, but it just kept ringing with no answer.
"Maybe he’s just too busy, being a scion of a great family unlike Wang Hai who had nothing to do all day!"
Thinking this, Xu Ling decided to visit the Chen Family in person to show her sincerity; after all, Chen Feng should have no reason to refuse a beauty coming right to his doorstep.
Just then, Xu Ling’s mobile phone pinged.
She opened it to find it was just a news alert, which she wouldn’t normally care about, but when she saw the two nas in the news title, Xu Ling’s eyes widened, and she stood there, stunned.
"Breaking news, a car accident in Hai City Suburbs: a vehicle crashed into a tree. The car belongs to Qianyang Corporation and was driven by Wang Hai. Also in the car were father and son from Chen Corporation, Chen Bin and Chen Feng. Reliable sources have confird that all three people in the car have died despite rescue efforts!"
Xu Ling was petrified by the news, imdiately comprehending the truth—that all three n had been killed by Ye Ming.
It had never crossed her mind that Ye Ming would act so swiftly, killing three people in a row, turning him into a murderous maniac. With both the Chen Family and Wang Hai having offended him and being killed by him, it would be her and her parents’ turn next.
With a thump, Xu Ling sat down on the ground, her legs giving way. She felt a chill down her spine, fear engulfing her entire body.
At the sa ti, Xu Daqiang and Zhang Xueping also saw the news and panicked as if facing a formidable enemy.
"It’s all your fault, insisting on giving Ye Ming that cuckold. If we had just broken up peacefully, none of this would have happened!"
"Now look, Ye Ming has gone mad. He’s out for revenge. Let’s see what you are going to do now!"
Xu Daqiang, both angry and scared, paced back and forth in the house, but he couldn’t co up with any good solution to deal with the situation.
Xu Ling had already been frightened to tears, crying with a face as delicate as wet pear blossoms.
Her last hope had evaporated. Was she really just waiting for death?
Just as the family was at a loss, a sudden, abrupt knock on the door echoed.
Xu Daqiang was startled and hurriedly said, "Have they found us so soon?"
But when he peered out through the peephole, his suspended heart suddenly relaxed.
The visitor wasn’t Ye Ming but a strange man.
Gathering his courage, Xu Daqiang opened the door. The stranger greeted them with a smile, exuding grace as he said, "Hello, uncle and auntie, may I ask if this is Xu Ling’s ho?"
Xu Daqiang nodded and asked with curiosity, "Who might you be?"
Xu Ling, hearing the commotion, ca over and confird to her parents that she didn’t recognize the man at the door.
With a cheerful smile, the man said, "My apologies for the intrusion. I’m from Yanjing, my na is Li Kai!"
After learning about Ye Ming’s situation, Li Kai had started an investigation on him. To get more detailed information about his adversary, Li Kai found out about Xu Ling, Ye Ming’s ex-girlfriend.
Hence, he decided to pay a personal visit in hopes of uncovering so information.
No one else reacted much, but Xu Daqiang looked extrely shocked.
His sister had married into Yanjing and ntioned the local powers to him. Among the six great families of Yanjing, there was the Li Family, which apparently had a scion nad Li Kai.
"Could it be, you are Young Master Li of Yanjing’s Li Family?" Xu Daqiang ventured cautiously.
Li Kai nodded slowly and said, "I didn’t expect my reputation to be so renowned that people in Hai City would know ."
"You must be Xu Ling’s father, I presu?"
Xu Daqiang nodded in confirmation and quickly altered his deanor, bowing slightly to invite Li Kai into the house.
Listening on the side, Xu Ling processed the events and was instantly alard.
The man before her was none other than a scion of a grand Yanjing family. His status in Hai City was enough to overshadow anyone, rendering people like Wang Hai and Chen Feng insignificant in comparison.
After entering, Li Kai didn’t forget to pull a card from his pocket, adding, "I ca in a hurry and forgot to bring a gift, just a token of my regard."
Seeing the card, Xu Ling’s breathing beca rapid. She recognized it; it was a shopping card from a Hai City mall, adorned with a purple qilin—representing the most prestigious fund card, with a limit of five million.
Xu Ling imdiately sat down next to Li Kai, deliberately pulling at her clothing. She was already wearing a low-cut top, and this intentional act exposed her fair skin directly to Li Kai’s view.
Seducing n was sothing Xu Ling was adept at. She had great confidence in herself, positive that she could make Li Kai fall for her.
She asked slowly, "Young Master Li, may I know the purpose of your visit?"
"If you’re not in a hurry to leave, we can have a good talk."
Li Kai saw through her little sche, feeling a slight stir in his heart, but he maintained his composure and said, "This ti, I would like to inquire about soone with you."
