With his fierce shout, the Chen family's thugs immediately stepped forward, drawing their knives and aiming at Ye Ling.
Ye Ling remained motionless, utterly indifferent to the gleam of the knives before him. He stared at the clock on the wall and spoke lightly, "Ten seconds!"
"Hah, this kid is still putting on an act!" A Chen family thug spat, swinging his knife towards Ye Ling's neck.
"Stop!"
With a loud bang of a gunshot, everyone present was stunned and stared dumbfounded at the door.
Then came the sound of a whistle. The Six Fan Gate guards rushed in like tigers pouncing on their prey, knocking the Chen family members to the ground.
"Six Fan Gate, whose orders are you following? Inspector He is a good friend of mine!" Chen Tai shouted angrily, stepping forward to dismiss the men, but he saw them mocking, "Sorry, this time the order is indeed given by Inspector He!"
"No, how could this be, how could Inspector He oppose me?" Chen Tai's face shook, his body trembling slightly.
The bizarre incidents that kept occurring today foreshadowed an ominous feeling in his heart.
Could it be that this son-in-law of the Su family is truly no ordinary person?
Feeling worried, Chen Tai quickly dialed Inspector He's number.
"Inspector He, tell me the truth, what is Ye Ling's identity that even you have to support him?"
There was a pause on the other end of the phone. Inspector He spoke gravely, "What identity Mr. Ye holds, even I am not qualified to know. I was only given orders to immediately protect his safety, and to kill any threats against him without mercy!"
"Dragon City Governor of Six Fan Gate!" Chen Tai's body shuddered, knees going weak.
If even the Dragon City Governor of Six Fan Gate had personally called about this matter, then Ye Ling's identity was truly frightening.
He gritted his teeth, reluctant to concede, "Fine, you Ye Ling are formidable this time. My Chen family acknowledges defeat; we will leave the Su family now!"
The Su family members sighed in relief, ready to see Chen Tai out when Ye Ling spoke coldly, "Thinking of leaving? Not so fast. You smashed the Su family's front gate and beat up their security guards. Don't think of leaving without apologizing and compensating!"
"Ye Ling, have you gone mad? Master Chen is giving you face; do you really think you can ascend to heaven?" Su Jun's eyes turned green with anger. Hardly managing to send the murderous Chen family away, Ye Ling was actually picking a fight. Was he really not afraid of death?
Chen Tai's face turned red, his eyes nearly shooting fire. Chen Tai was a local authority; when had he ever apologized to anyone?
However, just thinking of Ye Ling's terrifying identity made him clench his teeth and say through gritted teeth, "Fine, I'll pay money. Ten million, is that enough?"
"Not enough!" Ye Ling waved his hand, pointing at the doorway. "You broke three steps of the Su family's threshold. Kneel down and knock your head on the ground three times!"
"Beast, you're courting death!" The Chen family members were furious, about to burst; their family head was a person of higher status than even Mr. Su, and yet he dared to demand that the Chen family head humiliates himself in public—this was the ultimate insult!
Chen Tai clenched his fists, wishing he could rush forward and fight to the death. But recalling Inspector He's phone call, he fiercely slammed his knee, dropping to it with a thud.
Thud, thud, thud—three knocks, and blood appeared on Chen Tai's forehead. Then he stood up and said, "Mr. Ye, are you satisfied now!"
"Hmm, get lost!" Ye Ling waved his hand, motioning for Chen Tai to leave like tossing away trash.
Chen Tai, along with his subordinates, left in a disgraceful manner.
In the entire Su family courtyard, everyone was silent.
They stared at Ye Ling's figure, unable to believe and said, "This waste, Ye Ling, he actually forced the Chen family to apologize, and even made Old Master Chen kneel?"
"What exactly is this guy's identity, that even the Six Fan Gate must obey his orders?" Su Jun and others showed puzzled looks.
"Hehe, with Young Master Ye's identity, it's easy to mobilize people from the Six Fan Gate. Even the Dragon City Governor of Six Fan Gate wouldn't dare to defy his orders!" Family Head Su stroked his beard and laughed, then admonished the others, "You all remember, do not reveal anything about Young Master Ye's identity, and make sure to establish a good relationship with him. He is the key to our Su family's rise to prominence!"
"Damn it, Ye Ling is so powerful. Isn't my position as the heir of the Su family in danger?" Su Jun felt a stifling anger in his chest and pounded the ground forcefully.
Meanwhile, Su Ya's eyes flickered with a hint of regret.
If she had known Ye Ling's identity earlier, she would not have broken off the engagement. Grandpa is too biased, allowing Su Rou, that adopted girl, to compete with me!
Su Ya changed her mind and immediately approached to please, "Grandfather, the marriage you arranged before was between me and Ye Ling, right?"
Family Head Su was startled for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Yes, but didn't you refuse it?"
"Hehe, I was foolish at that moment, but now I understand." Su Ya smiled, her eyes flirtatious as she flaunted her proud figure before Ye Ling, "Ye Ling, don't you think I am prettier than that girl Su Rou?"
Ye Ling was drinking tea, and when he heard her words, he immediately spit out a mouthful of hot tea and shook his head repeatedly, "Su Ya, you really think too highly of yourself!"
Su Ya got her face splashed with tea, her makeup blotchy with red and purple shades, and she angrily exclaimed with hands on hips, "Ye Ling, you blind fool, I am the number one beauty of the Su family. There are people who would run three rounds around the courtyard just to chase after me, you think I fancy you?"
Ye Ling scoffed, scanned her from head to toe, and disdainfully shook his head, "You dare to call yourself the number one beauty of the Su family? Look at your chest padded with silicone, and your nose and face carved alarmingly, how do you qualify to compare with Su Rou?"
Su Ya's face stiffened, and seeing the doubtful glances around her, she immediately covered her chest and said, "You're talking nonsense, I have never had plastic surgery, it's all natural."
She was about to argue further when Su Jun pulled her arm from behind and whispered, "Let's go, your nose got burnt by the hot tea, and it's already collapsed!"
"Haha!" Everyone could no longer hold back and pointed at Su Ya, bursting into laughter.
Su Ya's face turned red, her hands covering her nose and face, and she glared at Ye Ling spitefully.
"Ye Ling, don't be so proud. You're marrying this sick frail, just wait to tend her grave. She won't live long!"
Saying this, she stormed off angrily.
Su Rou displayed a frail expression on her face and sighed, "Ye Ling, Su Ya is right, there's no need for you to marry someone who is about to die."
"Hehe, don't worry, I will cure your sickness," Ye Ling said with a light smile, his expression unconcerned.
He was a disciple of the Medicine God, how could he possibly fail to cure his own wife.
