Outside the Hong Family Courtyard, Chu Min and others were still standing there.
"Brother Chu, what should we do now? Should we still charge in to seize the person?"
Chu Min glared angrily, "Charge in to seize the person? Do you really think that charred-head Yan Xu is a vegetarian?"
The Head of the Huang Family gritted his teeth and said, "So we're just going to let this slide?"
"Let this slide?"
Chu Min snorted coldly, "To kill my grandson is a grudge that cannot be shared under the same sky. How could I possibly let it slide? As long as Hong Yuting's crippled son-in-law is alive, I will never swallow this insult."
"Get on the car first, and allow me to devise a plan for everyone!"
Chu Min waved his Great Hand and was the first to get into the stretched luxury car, followed by the Heads of the other Families who also got in one after another.
A dozen cars started up and soon left the Hong Family.
Inside the car, the Head of the Huang Family asked, "Brother Chu, what good strategies do you have?"
Chu Min, with half-closed eyes, pondered and said, "Judging from tonight's situation, that crippled son-in-law of the Hong Family must have some background."
"Of course, otherwise that charred-head Yan Xu would not have been so cowardly!"
"Thus, we can no longer take the approach through Yan Xu—it won't work."
"Just speak out what you have in mind, Brother Chu, stop beating around the bush."
Chu Min huffed coldly, "I heard that there's a master following behind that waste of a son-in-law from the Hong Family, and it seems he has been trained."
"Therefore, we can only ask for the help of the Martial Alliance!"
"Martial Alliance? Good idea, the Martial Alliance is full of Martial Arts Practitioners, and it's teeming with experts. If they take action, they will surely tear that Hong Family's waste of a son-in-law to pieces!"
"Hong Family, daring to hinder us tonight, if we don't uproot them entirely, it won't quell the hatred in my heart. Perfect, the trap set ten years ago is finally ripe for harvest. It's time to close the net!"
At this, Chu Min let out a chilling, strange laugh that was harrowing to hear.
At this time at the Hong Family, although the Clan Assembly had already ended, Hong Tianming was holding a small meeting on his side.
In the villa's grand hall were Hong Wei, Zhang Yuman, Hong Yuting, as well as the eldest aunt and the second aunt, and even Hong Wei was present surprisingly.
Though his right leg was bandaged, he didn't seem to be in pain, which suggested his injury was not that severe.
"Regarding the event tonight, concerning that useless son-in-law, I believe everyone has realized something," stated Hong Tianming sitting upright and formal.
Zhang Yuman snorted, "Initially, I thought he was just a dog, a worthless crawler, but unexpectedly, that cripple has some capabilities."
"Shut your mouth, such words shall not be spoken in public anymore!"
Hong Tianming said solemnly, "The main reason I called a family meeting tonight is to decide to marry our Yu Ting to that young man with the surname Ye."
Hong Yuting immediately objected, "Dad, what are you saying, you want me to marry that cripple at a time like this?"
Zhang Yuman exploded, "Hasn't Qingyan, that wild child, been married off to him already? What is this play you are staging now?"
Hong Tianming scolded, "No wonder father always said you're like mud that can't support a wall! Can't you see anything by now?"
The eldest aunt of the Hong Family said, "Tianming is right; the old man wouldn't pay such close attention to him for no reason. Plus, with what happened tonight, it's enough to show that this Ye Feng is not just a worthless crawler. He's very likely a dragon."
Zhang Yuman's eyes rolled, "That makes some sense, but our Yu Ting is the number one beauty in Jiangdu. Does that Ye deserve our Yu Ting?"
Hong Yuting said angrily, "Just looking at that cripple makes me want to vomit. There's no way I'm marrying him!"
"Ting'er, this concerns the future of our branch of the family, and whether your mother and I can regain control of the family's power will depend on your performance from here on out," Hong Tianming spoke earnestly.
Zhang Yuman also said, "Why don't you give it a try, Ting'er? Even though the old man has promised Qingyan to him, Mom believes that as long as you're willing to make a move, with your looks and conditions, you will certainly dazzle him into submission."
"Of course, that wild spawn Hong Qingyan, with her limp, what is she compared to me? She only contests me because I'm not interested. If I made a move, I could snatch that man from her arms in a minute."
Hong Yuting said with a face full of arrogance, "But Mom and Dad, let's make this clear. I can make a move and take down that trash named Ye, but if it turns out he's really just a crawling creature, you can't force me to marry him!"
"That's for sure. My daughter has the face, the figure, and the status. She's going to marry into a wealthy family, how could she possibly marry a piece of trash!" said Zhang Yuman.
Hong Tianming waved his hand, "Let's settle this then, Ying'er, for now you go and ingratiate yourself with him, at least get back the corporate power for your mom and me first!"
The night passed without incident, and the next day at daybreak, as the first ray of sunlight streamed through the window, Ye Feng was already sitting cross-legged on the bed, hands in Seal Formation at his lower abdomen.
He began his Breathing Technique. At first, his abdomen and chest were simply rising and falling continuously. As his breathing grew deeper and longer, a mist faintly appeared above his head.
The white mist, glittering with iridescent light under the sunlight, looked quite mystical.
Suddenly, Ye Feng raised his eyebrows and stopped his Qi Circulation and Breathing Technique.
At that moment, Hong Yuting pushed the door open and entered, "Oh, Big Brother Ye, you're awake. So early too, just in time, I made you bird's nest porridge."
Hong Yuting's eyes wandered playfully, her figure swaying gracefully, especially since she had dressed up meticulously after last night's family meeting.
A low-cut, tight T-shirt paired with a mini denim skirt not only showcased her porcelain-white legs unmistakably, but also accentuated her wasp waist.
"Come on, Big Brother Ye. Let me help you get up and get dressed!"
Hong Yuting walked over, bent down, and deliberately revealed her chest. She knew her top already had a low neckline. Now, with such a move, it was practically all on display.
Hong Yuting was absolutely confident that no man on earth, if he was indeed a man, could resist her action.
Unfortunately for her, Ye Feng was certainly a normal man, but he was not an ordinary man.
He didn't even glance at her, his whole demeanor was like still water, and his eyes even showed a hint of killing intent.
"Who let you in!" Ye Feng shouted lowly.
"Qingyan, the newly appointed acting CEO of the company, left for work early in the morning. Thinking that you were without anyone to look after you, worried that you might be hungry, I came over," said Hong Yuting, her words nearly accompanied by tears, looking pitifully vulnerable.
This technique to manipulate men had always worked without fail for her; before she could even get halfway through, those men would instantly submit.
However, Ye Feng simply pointed towards the door with a Great Hand and said only two words: "Get out!"
Hong Yuting's eyes widened in disbelief, she bit her lip and said, "Listen here, Ye. I've already gone this far for you, don't be ungrateful."
It was only then that Ye Feng looked up at her for the first time, his gaze chillingly cold.
"You have ten seconds to consider."
"You wouldn't dare..."
"I never strike a woman, I hope you don't make me break that rule!" Ye Feng's voice was very cold.
"You, Ye, I give you a little color and you open a dye shop..."
"Seventeen!"
As soon as the words fell, Seventeen was already in front of them. Hong Yuting only saw a blur before she was lifted up.
With a splash, she was tossed headfirst into the small pond outside the attic.
Choking on a few mouthfuls of water, Hong Yuting immediately roared hysterically, "Ye, you cripple, how dare you treat me this way, you're not a man, you won't die a good death!"
