Tiger Tang led Ye Chen to a room.
"Mr. Ye, Miss Lin is inside the room," Tiger Tang respectfully informed Ye Chen.
He knocked on the door.
"Come in," a familiar voice replied.
Tiger Tang pushed the door open and gestured for Ye Chen to enter.
Inside the room, Lin Man was propping up her chin with her hand, wearing a troubled expression. A middle-aged man in his forties lay on a hospital bed in the room, his face pale and devoid of color. Several doctors were attending to him.
The middle-aged man was the leader of the Shadow Gang, Tu Xiao.
"Name: Tu Xiao."
"Cultivation Talent: Low-grade."
"Cultivation Realm: Four-star Warrior."
Tu Xiao's cultivation talent and realm information appeared on Ye Chen's retinas.
"Man?" Ye Chen called out to Lin Man.
Lin Man was taken aback. The voice sounded incredibly familiar, and when she turned around and saw Ye Chen, she was left in shock.
"Ye, Ye Chen?"
Lin Man was astonished. She hadn't expected Ye Chen to suddenly appear before her.
"Name: Lin Man."
"Cultivation Talent: Low-grade."
"Cultivation Realm: One-star Warrior."
Seeing Lin Man's cultivation realm, Ye Chen thought it was not bad. She had reached the one-star Warrior level in just a few months.
Hearing Lin Man's surprised words, Tu Xiao also opened his eyes.
"Ye, Mr. Ye?"
Tu Xiao's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
The doctors in the room were secretly shocked. The leader of the Shadow Gang was calling a young man "Mr.," indicating that the young man's status was extremely high.
"Mr. Ye, I just got back today and came to visit," Ye Chen said to Lin Man and Tu Xiao.
Suddenly, Tu Xiao burst into tears.
"Sniff... Sniff... Sniff..." Tu Xiao cried and wiped his tears. "Mr. Ye, the Jin family has gone too far!"
Ye Chen had heard about the conflict between the Jin family and the Shadow Gang when he entered the Poverty District.
"Ye Chen, you have a relationship with Lord Lin, you must help us," Lin Man pleaded with a deep look of desperation in her eyes.
"Don't worry, Man," Ye Chen reassured her.
After all, Lin Man had treated him well when he first arrived in the Poverty District, and he would naturally help her.
"Mr. Ye, as long as you're willing to help us," Tu Xiao said.
Suddenly, Lin Man seemed to remember something and said to Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, there's someone in White Cloud Base City with the exact same name as you. At first, I thought it was you, but then I realized it couldn't be true. That Ye Chen killed a mid-level Beastmaster, after all."
Ye Chen smiled and replied to Lin Man, "Actually, Man, that Ye Chen is me."
What!!! When Ye Chen dropped this bombshell, not only Lin Man but also Tu Xiao and the doctors in the room were shocked.
"Really, you?" Lin Man couldn't believe her ears.
Ye Chen smiled and said, "Yes, Man."
"Ye Chen, I know it's impossible, but you're doing this to reassure us, right? After all, we're facing the Jin family now."
The Jin family had a lot of power in East Base City, and their family head, Jin Yuan, was a ten-star Warrior.
Ye Chen didn't continue explaining because he knew that no matter what he said, Lin Man wouldn't believe him. Only by demonstrating his true abilities could she be convinced. Moreover, he did have a grudge with the Jin family.
Just then, Tiger Tang burst into the room.
"Bad news! The Jin family has sent people here!" he urgently reported.
