But just as he was about to unleash a palm strike to take Jiang Yushuang’s life, Ji Yanran’s figure involuntarily flashed in his mind.
Ji Yanran and Jiang Yushuang clearly had a good relationship. If he killed Jiang Yushuang, it would undoubtedly sadden Ji Yanran.
Although Ye Fei had never considered having any kind of relationship with Ji Yanran, there were still matters with the Ye Family, Ye’s mother Su Lingyun, and others waiting. If Ji Yanran either refused to return with him or returned crying, Su Lingyun would certainly not spare Ye Fei.
Moreover, even though he had acted indifferent earlier, with so many people dead here, if Jiang Yushuang also died under his hand...
Jiang Yuanzheng would likely go to any lengths to avenge his daughter, and this matter couldn’t be concealed.
Was he really going to let his parents and little sister witness the police knocking on their door to interrogate him?
Thinking of this, Ye Fei couldn’t help but shake his head.
Not for anything else, but simply to ease his family’s worries. Sparing Jiang Yushuang—so what?
Feeling that Ye Fei had held back and didn’t take her life, Jiang Yushuang imdiately exhaled a breath of relief and asked, "Mr. Ye, you’re not going to kill ?"
"You can escape death, but you can’t escape punishnt!"
As he spoke, Ye Fei pointed his finger, and a black dot of light materialized from his fingertip, drifting toward Jiang Yushuang’s forehead.
Seeing this, Jiang Yushuang imdiately panicked and tried to evade, but Ye Fei’s voice once again resonated by her ear: "This is your only chance to survive. Dodge it, and you die!"
Upon hearing these words, a trace of struggle appeared on Jiang Yushuang’s face. But ultimately, she didn’t avoid it and let the black ray of light enter her forehead.
"This... What is this..."
"Soul Capturing Technique!"
Ye Fei stated indifferently, "From now on, your life belongs to and not to fate!"
To you?
Jiang Yushuang beca visibly agitated and was about to voice her rebuttal. But as soon as the thought arose, a searing pain from her soul radiated from her forehead, rapidly spreading throughout her body.
"AHHHHHH!!!"
Jiang Yushuang imdiately collapsed to the ground, her hair in disarray, rolling wildly in agony. Gone was the goddess aura she had when Ye Fei first t her.
Who knows how much ti had passed.
When the tornt gradually subsided, Jiang Yushuang finally lay prone at Ye Fei’s feet, sobbing and trembling as she muttered, "Greetings... Greetings, Master!"
"Oh? Yu Shuang, Ye Fei? How did the two of you co in together?"
Inside the private room on the third floor, upon seeing Ye Fei and Jiang Yushuang enter together, Ji Yanran imdiately asked curiously.
"Oh! I ran into Ye Fei downstairs when he ca looking for you, so I brought him up!"
Jiang Yushuang replied with a smile.
Although she maintained her usual gentle and graceful deanor in Ji Yanran’s presence, she dared not glance at Ye Fei even once.
She even slightly trembled when ntioning Ye Fei’s na.
Were it not for her exceptional self-control as a Southern Province elite, her inner terror would have undoubtedly been laid bare for all to see!
Could she not be terrified?
She had set up a trap to kill Ye Fei, yet not only had Ye Fei survived, but the top floor of King Jiang’s Mansion now ran red with blood. To top it off, she had beco Ye Fei’s slave through the Soul Capturing Technique.
After arranging to have the corpses and blood cleaned up from the top floor, she obediently accompanied Ye Fei downstairs.
Upon hearing Jiang Yushuang’s explanation, Ji Yanran couldn’t help but feel a bit puzzled.
After all, as a Martial Artist, although Ji Yanran only possessed Ming energy-level power, her senses were far sharper than the average person.
Yet, in Ji Yanran’s mind, Jiang Yushuang had always been mysterious and hard to understand, so she didn’t suspect anything. She simply smiled and said, "Oh, I thought Yu Shuang was outside lighting firecrackers! Those firecracker sounds were so loud just now!"
"Haha, your Yu Shuang is far too old for playing with firecrackers!" Jiang Yushuang responded with a laugh.
Although in her heart, she knew much better—that was no firecracker but gunshots.
Ji Yanran and Jiang Yushuang were joyfully chatting.
But Matthew deeply furrowed his brows, his expression showing surprise.
How could Ye Fei still be alive?
And why did he appear alongside Jiang Yushuang, seemingly on good terms?
What exactly was going on?
Could it be that Jiang Yushuang had never intended to kill Ye Fei and had instead joined forces with him?
As he thought of the possibility that a Southern Province powerhouse would team up with a Su Province giant, Matthew’s heart skipped a beat.
If that were the case, wouldn’t his act of leaking Ye Fei’s data to Jiang Yushuang and inciting her to deal with Ye Fei be exposed?
However, despite his alarm, Matthew managed to maintain his composure. After a brief pause in surprise, he quickly stood up with a smile and said, "Since everyone’s here, why don’t we enjoy so morning tea together? Ji Yanran has already ordered quite a lot!"
As he spoke, he moved forward to greet Ye Fei, partly to show his courtesy and partly to probe whether Ye Fei had uncovered his secret gambit with Jiang Yushuang.
Most importantly, he believed that with Ji Yanran present, Ye Fei would be concerned about his image and refrain from taking action against him.
But Matthew had clearly misjudged Ye Fei and Ji Yanran’s relationship, as well as the depth of Ye Fei’s wrath.
Jiang Yushuang couldn’t be killed because her fate was tied to Ji Yanran, and through her, Ye’s mother.
But Matthew, a petty scher who worked in the shadows—there was no way Ye Fei would let him off!
Without a word, Ye Fei landed a kick directly on Matthew’s knee.
CRACK!
A brittle snap echoed, accompanied by Matthew’s scream, shocking Ji Yanran into montary silence.
"You... How dare you lay a hand on !"
Matthew looked at Ye Fei in disbelief, his face pale with pain.
Ji Yanran imdiately stepped forward, alard: "Ye Fei, what... what are you doing? Matthew, are you alright?"
Seeing Ji Yanran approach, Matthew’s eyes imdiately glead. Ignoring his pain, he grabbed her hand and said, "Yanran, you saw it yourself. I kindly invited him to join us for morning tea, yet he attacked without saying a word!"
"Don’t... don’t speak for now. I’ll get a doctor for you!"
Noticing the sweat beading across Matthew’s forehead due to pain, Ji Yanran hurriedly said.
"No need for that!"
Matthew forcefully shook his head, feigning resilience. "Yanran, actually, I... I’ve always wanted to tell you, this Ye Fei is actually a major villain in Su Province. The reason he attacked must be because he thought I was too close to you while having morning tea. A man like him is absolutely unworthy of you!"
Hearing this, Ji Yanran’s face imdiately showed confusion. Following that, her cheeks blushed as she stamred, "Mat... Matthew, what are you talking about!"
"What am I saying? Naturally, that Ye Fei doesn’t deserve you!"
Matthew exclaid angrily, his performance so compelling one might think he deserved an Oscar!
That kick made Matthew finally realize that Ye Fei likely knew everything. And since Ye Fei dared act here, it was evident that he had Jiang Yushuang’s approval.
In this situation, his sole hope rested with Ji Yanran.
If he could make Ji Yanran misunderstand Ye Fei and stand up for him, her influence as Ye Fei’s romantic partner would deter further retaliation!
But to his dismay, Ye Fei appeared utterly unmoved by Matthew’s provocations. Instead, Ye Fei spoke calmly: "Give one reason not to kill you. You have five seconds!"
"You... You want to kill ?" Matthew’s disbelief was evident.
Being struck and having his leg broken—he might endure that.
But murder? Even if Ye Fei was a Su Province titan, how could he so casually kill him, the heir of the Southern Province Ma Family?
Yet Ye Fei completely ignored him and began counting down, "Five, four..."
