Wan Yang’s pitiable state didn’t attract even a glance from Wan Kun. Of his three sons, Wan Yang was the least promising.
Previously, seeing that Wan Yang loitered every day, he let him pursue Xia Ningning, hoping that if he managed to secure a marriage alliance with the Xia Family, it could be considered a contribution to the Wan Family.
But unexpectedly, after so many days, there was no progress at all, leaving Wan Kun imnsely disappointed.
Nevertheless, the news Wan Yang brought back was of great importance to the Wan Family. What he once deed trivial now beca a top priority.
If they could marry Xia Ningning, the Wan Family’s status would rise again, and it would bring significant help in business as well.
Thinking of the Wan Family’s future, Wan Kun felt bursts of excitent, wishing he could imdiately finalize the matter.
The eldest and second sons of the Wan Family nodded in unison. Although they hadn’t paid much attention to Xia Ningning, they were very willing to be ordered to woo a girl, especially since Xia Ningning was beautiful, a trait all n liked.
Seeing the reaction of his family, Wan Yang said pitifully, "Dad, but I was almost killed by Ye Ming. He doesn’t take our Wan Family seriously at all. If we let this go, how will the other families in Yanjing view us?"
Wan Kun still had an indifferent expression, even looking at his youngest son with so disdain as he scolded, "You fool, why are you so dim-witted? Do we need to deal with Ye Ming personally?"
"He killed Xia Yu, which is like piercing the heavens. Naturally, there will be those who will deal with him. Do you think the Xia Family will just let this go?"
"Is your head filled with nothing but won all the ti? Truly a disappointnt."
After being scolded so harshly, Wan Yang dared not harbor any resentnt and could only nod helplessly.
He carefully recalled his father’s words, which did make so sense, but in his heart, he was extrely unwilling. He only wanted to settle the score with Ye Ming personally; otherwise, he couldn’t swallow his pride.
Just as he was about to say sothing else, suddenly, his vision darkened, and he felt his body go limp, collapsing to the ground.
Upon seeing this, Wan Yang’s mother rushed over anxiously, asking, "What’s wrong? Son, don’t scare , wake up!"
In a blink of an eye, Wan Yang’s complexion turned ashen, and his lips lost their color.
Struggling, he said, "Help, I don’t want to die, get to the hospital quickly!"
The reason he was like this was none other than the True Qi Ye Ming had left in his body, which had now started to take effect.
However, Ye Ming miscalculated; he didn’t expect Wan Yang’s body to be so frail that he couldn’t even hold on for one day.
At the sa ti, Master Leu, who had finished delivering his report, also collapsed, overwheld by a feeling of powerlessness.
Already seriously injured, combined with this overwhelming sensation, he blacked out and fainted.
...
Inside the villa, even though she had returned ho, Xia Ningning was still shaken by the recent events.
With a worried expression, she said, "We can’t be too optimistic right now, the matter is far from over."
"Xia Yu is dead, and my uncle will never let this rest, just like that. He will definitely send soone to deal with you, and the Wan Family will do the sa, giving you a hard ti without holding back."
"Under the current situation, the Xia Family is in total chaos; I can no longer mobilize their power to protect you. Why don’t you go into hiding for a couple of days?"
Xia Ningning’s face was full of concern, showing that she genuinely had Ye Ming’s best interest at heart.
She went on to say, "By the way, weren’t you supposed to lead Falcon Squad to participate in the international competition? You might as well leave early, and once you’re gone, even if they want to find you, they won’t be able to."
Without a doubt, this plan was the best given the circumstances, but Ye Ming had no intention of running away like a coward.
He said indifferently, "Since I have done these things, I naturally considered the consequences that might follow. If necessary, I’ll go to Chuzhou City myself and explain things clearly to them."
Upon hearing Ye Ming’s words, Xia Ningning quickly objected, "Absolutely not, going alone to Chuzhou is too dangerous."
Xia Ningning knew very well that Chuzhou City was already in complete disarray, with countless eyes focused on Ye Ming. Both the Xia Family and the Wan Family were ready to take action against him.
Going to Chuzhou City now would be walking right into a trap.
To stop Ye Ming from going, Xia Ningning thought for a mont and said, "Even if you can take care of yourself in Chuzhou City, what about Le Le? According to my calculations, the Wan Family and Xia Family have already sent people to this place to cause trouble for you. If you’re not at ho, wouldn’t Le Le beco your weak point?"
Ye Ming paused for a mont upon hearing this, finding so sense in her words.
His desire to go to Chuzhou City was not solely to confront the Xia and Wan families; he also wanted to investigate his biological mother’s past.
Previously, in the letters left by his grandfather, it was ntioned that Ye Ming’s mother was from Chuzhou City and that her marriage to Ye Ming’s father had been disrupted by a certain family within the city.
Ye Ming had wanted to personally uncover the truth and deal with the current troubles at the sa ti.
But on second thought, Xu Lele couldn’t be left without him; he couldn’t go.
Xia Ningning’s words caused Xu Lele’s face to show a hint of sha. She said with a bitter smile, "I’m sorry I’ve beco your weakness, a burden to you."
Ye Ming felt a slight pain in his heart and quickly responded, "How could you be a burden? Never say that. If anything, it’s my fault for getting involved with too many people recently and dragging you into it. I’m the one who should apologize."
But Xu Lele shook her head firmly and said, "You don’t need to apologize. Right now, I’m happier than ever!"
"You’ve grown into a towering tree, and I’m happy for you. Even being hurt in the process is not sothing I shy away from!"
Thinking back, Ye Ming was once a nobody, cheated on by his girlfriend and penniless.
But back then, Xu Lele defied everyone and resolutely chose him.
In just a few short months, Ye Ming had grown to a point where she could only look up to him. Even now, her safety depended on Ye Ming, and she was happy with her choice.
With a smile on her face, she looked at Ye Ming and Xia Ningning and suddenly said, "Having this experience in life, I’m already completely fulfilled. You two are the most important people in my life, so I want you to promise one thing."
Ye Ming said straightforwardly, "Le Le, what do you want to promise you?"
Xu Lele said with deep emotion, "If I die, can you take care of my sister for ? Marry her and bring her into our ho!"
