Chapter 2734: I am his son!

No one expected that, with all the An family bodyguards killed and corpses strewn everywhere, someone would still dare to walk in through that main gate!

The incomparably arrogant Earl Changsheng, upon hearing this mocking voice, was instantly enraged. He turned around immediately, wanting to see exactly which death-seeking bastard dared to call him a mere old dog!

As for Li Yalin and the An family, they recognized this familiar voice in an instant.

Li Yalin knew that Ye Chen had arrived!

And the An family also knew that their benefactor had arrived!

Although they all recognized Ye Chen's voice, their moods were completely different.

Li Yalin had long known that Ye Chen would definitely come, and he was even thinking to himself: "Ye Chen, oh Ye Chen, you finally decided to show up! If you had come a few seconds later, I, old Li, would have lost my life here..."

As for the An family, at this moment, there were only four words in their hearts: finding life in the midst of death!

They knew their benefactor possessed heaven-defying strength; with him here, they were saved!

And in the hearts of the An family, besides those four words, another thought quickly emerged: I wonder if I will be fortunate enough to see the benefactor's true face this time!

Thus, the An family and Earl Changsheng looked toward the main gate in unison, both wanting to see clearly what the person who had arrived looked like.

At this moment, they could only hear Ye Chen's footsteps crossing the entryway, and those footsteps were neither hurried nor slow, steady and calm with every step.

The An family held their breath in anticipation, and Earl Changsheng's heart suddenly tightened as well.

Because, although he hadn't seen the person yet, for some reason, an indescribable sense of tension arose in the depths of his heart!

As the footsteps drew closer, Ye Chen, dressed in black, walked in from the end of the entryway.

Today, Ye Chen did not turn off the lights, nor did he cover his face!

When he appeared before the An family and Earl Changsheng with his true face, the latter all gasped, everyone's eyes widening in shock and horror!

Earl Changsheng could not believe his eyes, and he blurted out in extreme shock: "Ye Changying?! You are still alive?!"

The An family's matriarch couldn't help but shout: "Changying?! Is it really Changying?!"

Old Master An Qishan looked dazed, his brain seemingly short-circuited, and he subconsciously said: "Our benefactor is actually Changying? This... how is this possible... he clearly already..."

It was no fault of the An family for not recognizing Ye Chen.

On one hand, Ye Chen's appearance was indeed very similar to his father's, and for the An family, the Ye Changying they knew was the Ye Changying in his twenties to early thirties. Therefore, the memories they held of Ye Changying before he passed away—whether it was his build, his looks, or his apparent age—were almost identical to the current Ye Chen.

On the other hand, Ye Chen had gone missing when he was eight years old; his appearance then only bore a slight resemblance to his current self, and they had no idea what Ye Chen would look like if he had lived to this day.

Therefore, it was their instinctive reaction to mistake him for Ye Changying in their daze.

At this moment, Ye Chen stood proudly before everyone and said loudly, word by word: "I am not Ye Changying! I am his son! Ye Chen!"

"What?!"

Whether it was the An family or Earl Changsheng, they were all dumbfounded at this moment!

Ye Chen's words were like the thunderclap that had shocked all of Jin Ling two days ago, exploding directly in their minds!

The matriarch burst into tears instantly, looking at Ye Chen, crying out: "Chen'er? Are you Chen'er?! Are you really Chen'er?!"

The old master also couldn't help but weep, looking at Ye Chen, who was completely blurred and distorted in his vision, and asked with a choked voice: "Chen'er... is it really you?"

His three uncles and aunt were also already streaming with tears; they never dreamed that Ye Chen, whom they had searched for for twenty years, would take the initiative to appear before them.

And they never expected that Ye Chen, whom they had searched for for twenty years, was actually the benefactor who had saved the entire An family's lives a while ago!

Watching the An family members as tears rolled down their faces one by one, Ye Chen's mood at this moment was extremely complex.

In his heart, the An family were naturally his own kin; blood is thicker than water, which is why he had saved the An family from dire straits time and time again.

Yet, in his heart, the An family, just like the Ye family, carried an unforgivable hatred.

He hated the Ye family because, back then, for the sake of their own interests, they forced his parents to leave Yanjing, ultimately leading to their deaths in Jin Ling;

He hated the An family because, from beginning to end, they had never looked upon his father with respect, and when his parents were forced away by the Ye family, the An family had never once reached out to help.

He reconciled with the Ye family because Ye Zhongquan reflected on the mistakes of the past and, when Wan Pojun stormed Mount Ye Ling, had considered dying to defend his parents' mausoleum and dignity;

But in his heart, the knot regarding the An family had yet to be untied.

At this moment, Earl Changsheng pushed Li Yalin aside, turned his body completely, looked at Ye Chen, let out a sinister laugh, and said mockingly: "So it's Ye Changying's son. No wonder you look so much like him. I let you get away twenty years ago; I didn't expect that twenty years later, you would actually run back here yourself!"

Ye Chen's eyes instantly turned blood-red, and he asked in a cold voice: "Did you kill my parents?!"

"That's right!" Earl Changsheng said with an arrogant face: "Twenty years ago, I was ordered to come to Jin Ling to assassinate Ye Changying's family of three. It's just a pity that old fox Ye Changying calculated that a disaster was coming one step ahead and had someone take you, this little bastard, away in advance!"

As he spoke, Earl Changsheng sneered: "But heaven truly has eyes. Today, besides being ordered to wipe out the entire An family, I was also ordered to wait for you to appear before beheading you. I originally thought this move might not be useful, but I didn't expect that while there is a path to heaven, you refuse to take it, and while there is no gate to hell, you insist on barging in! Since that's the case, on the road to the underworld, go together with your grandfather, grandmother, and the rest of the family!"

The murderous intent in Ye Chen's eyes almost gushed out. He looked at Earl Changsheng and said coldly: "For these twenty years, there hasn't been a moment I haven't thought about avenging my parents. After waiting twenty years, I have finally waited for you! After you die, don't be in a hurry to be reincarnated. I will find that 'Lord' of yours, tear him into ten thousand pieces, and then send him to the underworld to see you!"

Earl Changsheng frowned and said coldly: "Kid! You know of the Lord?! It seems you have a deep understanding of us!"

Ye Chen sneered: "Isn't it just the Anti-Qing Society? You act as if you're something remarkable. I might as well tell you, the dead soldier station you had in Cyprus is the one I had people blow up."

As he spoke, Ye Chen added: "Oh, right, if I haven't guessed wrong, you should be one of the Four Great Earls, right? But now it should already be the Three Great Earls. After tonight, the Three Great Earls will have to be renamed the Two Great Earls!"

Earl Changsheng's expression instantly turned extremely stern, and he said sharply: "Did Earl Jian Gong die at your hands?!"

Ye Chen laughed: "Whether he achieved merit or not, I don't know, and I am very busy, so I didn't have time to go to Cyprus to kill him, so I just had people install a few close-in weapon systems and waited for him to walk right into the trap."

After saying this, Ye Chen chuckled and said: "To speak of this person, his death was truly miserable. He, a dignified Earl, was actually blown into minced meat by the close-in weapon system. A person weighing over a hundred jin was blown into powder by the shells; the largest piece probably wouldn't even be enough to fill the gaps in your teeth."

Earl Changsheng's face was extremely gloomy, and he said coldly: "Good kid, so it was you who has been working against us all along! Since that's the case, then the person who saved the An family in New York back then was also you?!"

Ye Chen looked at him, then looked at the An family members with tear-reddened eyes, and said indifferently: "That's right, it was me."

Earl Changsheng recalled what Li Yalin had just said and asked Ye Chen: "Then, in that case, the one who saved Lin Wan'er in Northern Europe was also you?!"

"That's right." Ye Chen smiled and said: "Your Lord must be very angry that you didn't catch Lin Wan'er, right?"

Earl Changsheng gritted his teeth and questioned: "Kid, where is Lin Wan'er's ring?!"

Ye Chen smiled, took off his right-hand glove, and slowly raised his middle finger toward Earl Changsheng. The ring that Lin Wan'er had given him was right there on that middle finger!

At this moment, Ye Chen looked at Earl Changsheng and asked him curiously: "Old dog, is this the one you're talking about?"
