Ye Wenjun never expected Nie Wu and Nie Ning to lose their patience so quickly.
In fact, Ye Wenjun had a vague feeling that they would make their move after the elder’s celestial crane passes away. Elder Ye led the Hidden Dragon Team for many years, establishing a prestige that was not just about being in the Martial Arts Fifth Layer Heaven. Many in the Hidden Dragon Team were utterly devoted to the elder.
Thus, how much Ye Wenjun wished that his great-grandfather could live a healthy life. Then, no one would dare to touch the Ye Family.
Alas, the internal conflicts within the Ye Family had been increasingly evident in recent years.
Even with these masters at the Fifth Layer of Martial Arts, they were constantly being overshadowed by the Zhao and Jin Families.
"Ye ngng, don’t forget, you are a mber of the Ye Family. The Ye Family has been good to you, why would you do this?" the elder’s voice was somber.
"Great-Grandfather... The Ye Family is not the sa as it used to be. Even Uncle Ye is running off, I have no choice," Ye ngng said with a mournful face.
"So you’ve decided to betray the Ye Family?" Ye Wenjun said coldly.
"Cousin, don’t put it in such harsh terms, what do you an by betrayal? I’ve wholeheartedly made so many contributions to the Ye Family, when have I ever hard the Ye Family’s interests?" Ye ngng defended indignantly.
"Ye ngng, I have long been aware of your relationship with Zhao Wuyan. There’s no need for you to keep hiding it..." Ye Wenjun bluntly stated.
"The younger generations of the three great families all have pretty good relations, right?" Ye ngng attempted to explain herself.
Upon hearing Ye ngng’s evasive response, and considering the Ye Family’s plight, the elder suddenly started coughing violently—
Cough cough.
Cough cough cough...
"Great-Grandfather!" Ye Wenjun’s expression shifted.
"Great-Grandfather, please don’t be angry... Li Daming, where is Li Daming?" Ye ngng called out.
By then, the elder had already stopped his cough, his emotions gradually stabilizing. With a fierce glare, he said:
"Li Daming has been chopped up and fed to the dogs by ... what do you want him for?"
"Ah?"
Ye ngng was startled, but he quickly controlled his expression and said, "Li Daming must have wronged you, Great-Grandfather. He deserved to die!"
"At this point, you are still playing coy with this old man?" shouted the elder suddenly in rage, "Get out!"
The voice was thunderous, nearly deafening, not at all indicative of soone who had been seriously ill.
But wasn’t it also an expression of utter anger?
Ye ngng spoke with an innocent face, "Great-Grandfather, I am your great-grandson too..."
"Get out!"
Another explosive shout!
At that mont—
A hearty laughter ca from outside the courtyard:
"The elder seems to be in good health today, full of vitality!"
The three of them turned to look towards the entrance.
Ye ngng smiled, "See, Uncle Nie has co to see you."
No sooner had she spoken these words than two middle-aged n dressed in Chinese tunic suits entered the room.
One from the left and one from the right.
These two n were the protectors of the Hidden Dragon Team, Nie Wu and Nie Ning.
Nie Wu had a rugged appearance and a fierce face, while Nie Ning appeared sowhat genteel and refined.
"Elder, who has made you so angry?"
Nie Ning showed a faint smile and said, "Wenjun is here too, have a seat, have a seat... no need to stand on ceremony."
Yet, Ye Wenjun still rose to pay her respects, saying, "Greetings, uncles."
This was out of respect for one’s elders.
The elder looked at them and said, "You didn’t co to this old man just to check on , did you?"
"Elder Ye, you worry too much. Neither Nie Wu nor I have seen you for a long ti. We heard from ngng that Wenjun was quite anxious when she ca, so we were concerned and decided to pay a visit," said Nie Ning.
"Oh?"
Elder Ye’s eyes flashed sharply, "Or are you anxious to see dead?"
At those words, Nie Ning’s complexion changed, and he hurriedly said, "It’s a misunderstanding, a great misunderstanding, we truly ca with the intention to see you."
"Yes, Uncle Nie even specially bought so nutritional supplents."
Ye ngng took the things they brought over and placed them on the table.
"It shows that Uncle Nie is very attentive. Let open it for you to see..."
He opened the box.
Instantly, the hospital room fell eerily quiet.
Because inside the box was not any ordinary item, but a clock.
Seeing this "gift," the old master’s face stiffened, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly as he shouted, "How dare you!"
His roar almost contained Martial Arts Internal Strength!
After so many years, he had never been as enraged as he was today!
"Great-grandfather..." Ye Wenjun was very worried about his health, concern written all over her face.
However, the old master was so angry that he found it hard to control his emotions. He imdiately stood up, his presence rising dramatically, his eyes bright and piercing, as he said in a deep voice:
"Nie Wu, Nie Ning!"
After all, having only just broken through to the Martial Arts Fifth Layer, they couldn’t match the old master’s years of accumulated presence and couldn’t help but have a slight change in complexion as they said, "Old Master, please calm your anger!"
"Do you really not take Ye Shitian into account?"
"We dare not, dare not..." Both were inwardly shocked.
Wasn’t the old master seriously ill? How could he be so confident?
Could it be... the old master has been pretending all along?
Impossible! That couldn’t be!
The old master glanced at the clock and said sternly, "Take this thing away before I take action... and then go back to where you ca from..."
Hearing this, Nie Ning looked up suspiciously.
Nie Ning was a smart man who liked to think things through carefully.
Upon hearing this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew the old master well; if it had been before, anyone who sent him a clock would be undoubtedly dood. Yet today, he was letting them go.
What did this imply?
It ant that the old man didn’t dare to make a move!
And so—
Nie Ning smiled.
"Old Master, please don’t be angry, I brought the wrong item... that clock is for my own use. I was in such a hurry today that I took the wrong thing by mistake..."
The old master snorted coldly, such an excuse and he had the gall to say it.
Nie Ning continued, "Old Master, is your illness... cured?"
It was at this mont that Ye Wenjun stood up, her expression calm as she said, "Thanks to the blessings of you two uncles, great-grandfather has not only recovered from his illness but also regained his strength."
She wanted to seize this opportunity to deter the two n.
"That’s great! There’s hope for the Ye Family now... Old Master, it’s truly wonderful that you have regained your strength!" Inside, Nie Ning was utterly shocked, but outwardly he had to pretend to be very happy.
To tell the truth, Ye Wenjun felt so disgusted by this awkward and hypocritical scene that she wanted to vomit... but both sides were enduring, not tearing through this last facade!
As long as the facade wasn’t torn, there was a chance to suppress it!
But just when she thought there was room for maneuver, Nie Wu, this rough character, suddenly stood up—
"Old Master Ye is an expert of the Martial Arts Fifth Layer... Nie Wu is less skilled, but I hope for so guidance from the Old Master..."
Both hands clasped together!
The atmosphere suddenly beca tense!
Ye Wenjun’s heart sank. What to do, what to do... Nie Wu and Nie Ning were both early-stage experts of the Martial Arts Fifth Layer. Such super experts, even Old Master Zhong might not be able to subdue them with certainty, let alone their absence here!
Distant waters cannot extinguish nearby flas!
She began to panic...
Even when she took over as the CEO of the Ye Corporation, she had never panicked like she did now.
