539: Chapter 539: Answers Delivered to the Door 539: Chapter 539: Answers Delivered to the Door The force of the explosion still echoed in their ears as the brilliant glow in the sky gradually faded away.
The garden of the Ye family’s villa was now eerily quiet, with most people still dazed by the blast.
So guests, who had co for today’s wedding, were so startled and overwheld by the suddenness and intensity of the explosion that they fell to the ground, their legs giving way beneath them.
Standing not far behind Ye Chenfeng, Wu Xiaofei, Zhao Wanting, and a few other won were all pale with shock.
Patriarch Ye and Patriarch Wu were both deeply furrowed with worry—especially Patriarch Ye.
Today was supposed to be the joyous wedding day of his youngest son, Ye Dongjian.
Who could be behind such sabotage?
If Ye Chenfeng hadn’t promptly noticed sothing wrong with that potted plant, today’s wedding could have turned into a graveyard for many.
The guests, slowly coming to their senses, hurried to take their leave from Patriarch Ye; they did not wish to risk an untily death at a wedding just because of an unanticipated explosion.
Who knew if there were other powerful bombs planted elsewhere in the Ye family’s villa?
In the blink of an eye, a once bustling wedding was brought to a halt by an unexpected explosion, leaving only the Ye and Wu families behind.
This made Patriarch Ye’s face redden with rage.
How could such a disgraceful incident happen when the Yes had been a respected force in Capital City for so many years?
Patriarch Ye turned his glare to the ard police officer who’d been holding the potted plant.
Feeling the intensity of Patriarch Ye’s stare, the officer shivered uncontrollably and quickly said, “Sir, I had no idea there was a bomb in the potted plant.
This really isn’t my fault.”
Patriarch Ye shouted sternly, “Whether or not this explosion has anything to do with you, I will definitely get to the bottom of it.
I called your ard police here to ensure the security of the Ye villa, and what have you done?
A bomb was planted right under your noses, in a potted plant!
Do you realize what could have happened today if Chenfeng hadn’t discovered it when he did?”
Most of those who attended Ye Dongjian’s wedding today were high-ranking officials from Capital City or other influential figures.
If all these people had been killed together, it would have undoubtedly caused a massive twelve-level earthquake throughout not only Capital City but the entire country.
“Sir, our ard police force has failed its duties.
We will accept whatever severe punishnt is deed appropriate.”
After all the guests had left, the personnel of the ard police force gathered together, with the captain stepping forward, full of remorse, to speak.
“Grandfather, now is not the ti to assign bla.
First, we need to get a bomb disposal expert here to thoroughly check the Ye villa for any other planted explosives.
The fact that soone could plant a bomb in the Ye family’s ho without anyone noticing is not sothing just anyone can do,” said Ye Chenfeng, exceedingly calm, which only indicated just how angry he really was.
Although Ye Chenfeng often showed a casual attitude towards his uncle Ye Dongjian, he held an important place in his heart.
The complete ruination of Ye Dongjian’s wedding and the near-death experience of everyone involved had lit the fuse of Ye Chenfeng’s rage.
“Zhenhong, Chenfeng is absolutely right.
First, we need to bring in a bomb disposal expert, and then we can analyze and determine who is most likely to have planted a bomb in the Ye house,” echoed Patriarch Wu.
…
As guests left one after another, news of the explosion at the Ye family’s villa spread its wings, flying swiftly through Capital City’s major families within just an hour.
Many grand families were awaiting a chance to mock the misfortune of the Ye family.
Especially families like the Yus, the Yangs, the Songs, and the Bais, who had recently severed ties with the Yes—could they be connected to today’s bomb incident?
Only ti would tell when all the facts ca to light.
The bride, Ning Minyan, who had been waiting for Ye Dongjian to co for the wedding procession, couldn’t wait any longer.
Just when she was about to beco furious, she received a call from the Yes’ house.
Soon after, Ning Minyan and her sister Ning Yuting imdiately rushed to the Yes’ residence.
In the living room of the Yes’ villa, the atmosphere was extrely tense.
The bomb specialist had already carefully searched the entire house and did not find a second bomb, which temporarily relieved everyone.
Sitting on the couch, Ye Dongjian and Ning Minyan, who had yet to change out of her wedding dress, both had their brows tightly furrowed into a “川” shape.
Today was supposed to be a very important day in their lives, a day filled with joy and celebration, but how had it turned into this current situation?
Ye Chenfeng, Grandpa Wu, and Grandpa Ye all watched the surveillance footage from the villa’s garden but couldn’t find any clues or traces of who might have planted the bomb in the pot.
The absence of any evidence in the recordings only heightened Ye Chenfeng’s vigilance, for it ant the person behind this must be highly skilled and not an ordinary individual.
Seeing Grandpa Ye, Grandpa Wu, and Ye Chenfeng step into the living room, Ye Dongjian imdiately stood up and asked, “Dad, did you find anything in the surveillance footage?” Ye Dongjian’s voice could hardly conceal the raging fury within him.
Grandpa Ye shook his head, saying, “We haven’t found anything.
But don’t worry, Dongjian, I’ll have the relevant departnts investigate this matter.
Whoever dared to cause trouble at our Ye family’s doorstep will not get away with it.”
“Zhenhong, do you think this could be the work of the Songs, the Yus, the Yangs, the Bais, or one of those families, or perhaps they are conspiring together?” Grandpa Wu speculated.
“If it really is them, the Ye family must fight them to the bitter end,” Grandpa Ye declared, his eyes flashing with a fierce light while his dry hands clenched into fists, veins bulging on the back of his hands.
Ye Chenfeng did not believe that the incident was connected to the Yus or any of the other families, reasoning, “Grandpa, Grandpa Wu, I don’t think the bombing has anything to do with them.
The Yus, Yangs, and Songs are among the top families in Capital City.
They should know that if this matter were to be exposed, their families would never have a foothold in Huaxia Country again.
There are no walls without cracks in this world.
If they are wise, they definitely wouldn’t resolve their issues with our Ye family in such a manner.”
Feeling that Chenfeng made a lot of sense, Grandpa Ye then asked, “Chenfeng, in that case, who do you think is behind this attack on our Ye family?
There aren’t many in Capital City who would dare make a move against us.”
Chenfeng racked his brains for potential suspects.
After about half a minute, an idea suddenly struck him; four characters flashed through his mind: “Devouring Empire.”
At the sa ti, Chenfeng’s phone rang.
Pulling it out of his pocket, it was from an unrecognizable number.
Chenfeng had a hunch that this call was related to today’s bombing.
He pressed the answer button, and a magnetic voice ca from the other end: “Ye Chenfeng, this is Hei Xin.
We haven’t seen each other for a long ti, have we?
Want to know who’s behind the explosion at your Ye family’s today?
If you’re interested, head to a mountain range on the north side of Capital City at one o’clock this afternoon.
I’ll be waiting there for you.
But let tell you, today’s incident has nothing to do with .
Whether you co at one o’clock this afternoon is up to you.”
“Beep beep beep beep beep beep.” Hei Xin imdiately hung up after speaking.
Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Ye Chenfeng had no reason not to take up this unsolicited answer.
To Chenfeng, Hei Xin was soone relatively trustworthy.
The last ti in Tianhai when Chenfeng was seriously injured, Hei Xin could have taken him down, but he didn’t.
He kept his promise, allowing Chenfeng, Tang Xin, and Fang Nanxiang—who had been captured at the ti—to go as long as Chenfeng survived the challenges he had set.
