“Third, although the Wu family is not particularly influential in Jiangnan Province anymore, we still have a connection with a certain protective umbrella in Capital City. If 1 am alive, I can guarantee that you will not be threatened by the Wu family, or even that protective umbrella.”
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes and condensed a drop of blood essence on his finger.
“Are you willing to accept this blood essence? Only if you do can I let you go.”
Wu Xinlan looked at the drop of blood essence and gritted her teeth.
“I’m willing!”
Moments later, the blood essence shot into her forehead.
After that, Ye Chen ignored Wu Xinlan and turned his attention to the heavily injured Wu Xiangming.
Seeing his scarred body, he let out a long sigh. Not only were many of Wu Xiangming’s bones broken, but his face was also swollen and distorted. He had been beaten to such a sorry state, and was basically crippled.
“Thank you, Mr. Ye, for avenging me, but it seems that 1 will no longer be able to serve you anymore.”
Wu Xiangming’s eyes were filled with determination and pain.
“I’m crippled now, so let me fend for myself.”
Ye Chen condensed a streak of true qi in his hand and transmitted it through his finger into Wu Xiangming’s body. A warm current slowly coursed through Wu Xiangming’s limbs and bones.
“As long as I am here, you won’t be crippled! In less than three days, you will definitely recover!”
Wu Xiangming felt the warm current surging through his body, and to his amazement, discovered that his injuries were recovering rapidly.
His eyes widened. He did not know what kind of miracle Ye Chen had performed, but he was extremely grateful.
Not long after, Ye Chen stood up and said to Wu Xinlan, “Prepare a pen and paper for me.”
“Yes, Mr. Ye…”
Wu Xinlan quickly went to her room to get what was asked for. Then, Ye Chen wrote down a prescription and instructed her, “Go to the best traditional medicine shop in Jiangnan Province and get what is listed on the prescription. Give Wu Xiangming three decoctions a day. Because Wu Xiangming can’t move, he can only stay here for the time being.”
“Senior Wu used to be my sparring partner, so he can be considered my teacher to some extent. I will naturally do my best to help him.”
Wu Xinlan was a little puzzled. She hesitated for a few seconds before asking, “Mr. Ye, do you really not need to send him to the hospital? The equipment in the hospital might be better. My Wu family just happens to know a divine doctor…”
Before she could finish, Ye Chen waved his sleeve and said in an unquestionable tone, “When compared to me, no one is qualified to be called a divine doctor.”
Ye Chen gave Wu Xiangming a few more instructions and left.
He believed that Wu Xinlan would definitely handle the follow-up matters of the Wu family well.
However, the Wu family was basically exterminated by him, so some people in Jiangnan Province probably would not be able to sleep well today.
Ye Chen returned to the villa area and saw a black SUV parked not far away.
He walked over to take a look and soon, the window opened, revealing Ying Qing’s face.
“Mr. Ye.”
Ye Chen nodded. He guessed that Zhong Weishan must have completed the tasks. He opened the car door and got in.
The space inside was quite spacious. It was like a mobile workstation with two computers running.
Lei Shuwei was also here.
“Has Zhong Weishan simulated the portrait?” Ye Chen sat down and asked.
Lei Shuwei nodded and handed over a photo in his hand.
“According to Zhong Weishan’s memory, the person in this photo should bear a 90% similarity to the mysterious man who appeared in the Cloud Lake Manor case.”
Ye Chen took the photo and glanced at it. Now that he was seeing a proper image of the man, he realized that this mysterious man actually looked a little like his mother.
However, their temperaments were completely different.
One was gentle, while the other was cold.
The man’s eyes were extremely arrogant and overbearing.
Lei Shuwei naturally noticed Ye Chen’s reaction. He explained, “Some of our scholarly experts from Dragon Soul think that this person is likely related to your mother by blood.”
“Also, we’ve found information about this person through Dragon Soul’s database.”
Ye Chen was stunned. His gaze turned sharp as he asked sternly, “What’s his name? Where is he? I want to see this person immediately!”
Lei Shuwei shook his head and said helplessly, “Dragon Soul’s database only contains one piece of information on this person, which is that his name is Jiang Jianfeng!”
“The rest of the information is blank. I ran an investigation on this person through the dark net and other channels, but there is no substantial information on this person.”
“It seems that all of the information regarding this person is somehow protected, even from us.”
Ye Chen muttered the name and frowned even more.
“Jiang Jianfeng… My mother’s name is Jiang Rong, both of them have the surname Jiang, and they look so similar.”
Ye Chen remembered his mother to be gentle and generous. She and his father had always had a loving relationship, but there had always been questions running through his mind since he was young.
This was because he had no grandparents and had never met any of his mother’s friends or relatives.
When he was young, he had asked his mother about it, but his mother would always smile and say that she was born in a small mountain village far away, and it was not convenient for her to go home.
Her father always changed the topic at this time.
It was as if his parents did not want to touch on the matter.
He had also noticed countless times that his mother would stare blankly toward the north with tears in her eyes.
It seemed very painful and uncomfortable.
Now, Ye Chen realized that his investigation into the incident at Cloud Lake Manor back then was unsealing parts of his family’s past that had been hidden for many years.
Why did that unknown Chief Long in the capital want to destroy the Ye family?
Why were his parents’ corpses taken away?
Who was this man called Jiang Jianfeng?
Why was his mother always looking north yearningly?
What exactly happened to his parents?
At this moment, a baleful aura appeared around Ye Chen’s body.
Instantly, the atmosphere in the car changed.
Lei Shuwei and Ying Qing tried their best to resist this aura, but it was futile. It felt as if a pair of hands was mercilessly strangling their throats, and they were in life-threatening danger!
“Mr. Ye…”
Ying Qing eked out a pained cry.
Only then did Ye Chen come back to his senses and quickly restrained his aura.
“I was a little lost in thought just now,” Ye Chen explained.
Then, he thought of something and looked at Lei Shuwei, asking, “You said that Jiang Jianfeng’s information was protected. What’s the exact situation behind that?”
“Mr. Ye, there are only two possibilities where Huaxia would do this.”
“First, this person’s identity was extremely special to the country.”
“Second, this person came from a special martial arts family in Huaxia..”
