Chapter 960

At Ye Chen's command, almost the entire Jin Ling underground world mobilized in that instant.

Master Hong Wu even took to the streets himself, searching for clues about Ma Lan alongside his subordinates.

Xiao Hailong, however, was unaware of this at the time.

He was only thinking about how to properly take revenge on Ma Lan and then send her to a black brick kiln to perform hard labor for the rest of her life; this would not only suppress the arrogance of Ye Chen and Xiao Churan, but also avenge himself and his mother.

Xiao Changqian was equally excited.

His hatred for Ma Lan had long since reached a peak.

Of the four people in Ye Chen's family, the one he hated most was Ma Lan!

The reason he hated Ma Lan so much was mainly because Qian Hongyan had been sent to a black coal kiln because of her, and while there, Qian Hongyan had become pregnant and infected him with a venereal disease.

That would have been enough, but this Ma Lan had to hang dozens of green hats on the wall to disgust him, making it so he could never forget the harm Qian Hongyan had caused him and always feeling as if his head were covered in green; this grudge, compounded by time, had long since become irreconcilable!

At this moment, the father and son, along with their accomplices, dragged Ma Lan and Ye Zhangmin to that abandoned warehouse in the suburbs.

Because the warehouse was large, the van could be driven directly inside.

As soon as the vehicle stopped, Xiao Hailong jumped out first, then dragged Ma Lan out of the van.

Xiao Changqian looked at Ma Lan on the ground with a cold sneer and mocked, "Ma Lan, oh Ma Lan, you never dreamed you'd have a day like this, did you?"

Ma Lan was terrified, but because her mouth was gagged, she couldn't speak and could only sob loudly.

Xiao Changqian ripped the towel out of her mouth.

Ma Lan immediately blurted out, "Xiao Changqian! You're tired of living, daring to kidnap me?! Do you believe my son-in-law Ye Chen can blow your dog head off at any moment!"

"Oh?" Xiao Changqian raised his hand and slapped Ma Lan across the face, saying angrily, "At a time like this, you're still acting tough with me? Do you think you're still on the balcony of your house?"

Ma Lan was someone who couldn't stand to lose, and seeing that he dared to hit her, she immediately flew into a rage: "Xiao Changqian, just you wait! My son-in-law knows many influential people in Jin Ling, and he will definitely teach you all a harsh lesson!"

Xiao Changqian sneered, "You're still counting on Ye Chen to teach us a lesson? Let me tell you, there are two main purposes for bringing you here today: first, to let a few young men have some fun with you and upload videos online to ruin the reputation of you and your whole family; second, to send you to a black brick factory to fire kilns and move bricks for the rest of your life! I am going to pay you back a hundredfold, a thousandfold, for how you treated Qian Hongyan!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Lan was scared out of her wits!

She really hadn't expected Xiao Changqian to come up with such a vicious plan!

Consequently, she immediately cowered and choked out, "Big Brother, you shouldn't hate me so much. It wasn't that I was bent on harming Sister-in-law; it was Sister-in-law who was bent on harming me. Ask yourself, if you hadn't been bent on swindling my money and my son-in-law's villa, I wouldn't have been able to go against you!"

Xiao Changqian raised his hand and slapped her again, cursing angrily, "Then what about all those green hats you hung on your balcony? How do you explain that?"

Ma Lan hurriedly said, "That was indeed my fault, Big Brother. Please, for the sake of me being your sister-in-law, spare me this once. When I go back, I will definitely collect every single green hat, not leaving a single one!"

Xiao Changqian sneered, "You know you're wrong now? Let me tell you, it's too late! This time, even a Great Immortal cannot save you!"

Xiao Hailong, standing to the side, leaned in and asked in a low voice, "Dad, when are we going to let them make a move?"

Xiao Changqian said, "No rush. Wait for Wu Zong to come over; Wu Zong wants to witness it with his own eyes!"

Xiao Hailong asked again, "What about the other woman in the car? There was no other way at the time, so we had to kidnap her too, but we don't even know her."

Xiao Changqian clicked his tongue and said, "Don't worry about it for now. Let's deal with Ma Lan first; if it really doesn't work out, we'll just send that woman to the black brick kiln too!"

At this very moment, the Ye family had already received news that Ye Zhangmin had been kidnapped.

Upon hearing this, Master Ye was instantly enraged!

He smashed a beloved Yuan blue-and-white plum vase in the living room and roared angrily, "With the strength and status of my Ye family in the country, there is actually someone who dares to kidnap a direct relative of the Ye family? Their guts are too big, aren't they?!"

The three brothers, Ye Changkong, Ye Changyun, and Ye Changjun, looked at each other, but not one of them spoke.

To them, Ye Zhangmin's sudden kidnapping was not a matter worth worrying about at all.

On the contrary, it was a matter worth their anticipation and excitement.

None of the three brothers liked Ye Zhangmin.

The reason for this was nothing more than the word 'interest'.

If Ye Zhangmin were like the Ye family's youngest daughter, Ye Changxiu, and lived a steady life with her husband's family after marriage, they naturally wouldn't harbor dissatisfaction toward her.

But because Ye Zhangmin had clearly already married out, yet could not settle down to support her husband and teach her children at her in-laws', and instead ran back to the Ye family after separating from her husband, attempting to claim a share of the family assets, the three brothers were extremely disgusted with her.

Moreover, Ye Zhangmin was a very calculating person.

She never cared about the feelings of her three brothers, only the feelings of the Master.

Therefore, she often deliberately targeted the three brothers to win the Master's favor, which annoyed them to no end.

Now that she had actually been kidnapped, wasn't this a gift from God to the three of them?

Although the three of them hadn't communicated with each other yet, they all shared the same wish in their hearts.

That was to hope the kidnappers would just finish Ye Zhangmin off and never let her come back.

Master Ye Zhongquan was very annoyed. Recently, he had increasingly felt that his eldest daughter, Ye Zhangmin, was not only capable but also very obedient to him; compared to the lip service of his three sons, Ye Zhangmin made him feel much more at ease.

Now, his daughter, acting on his orders to go to Jin Ling to find Ye Chen, had actually been kidnapped there. To the Master, this not only threatened his daughter's life but also slapped him hard in the face, so he could not accept it no matter what.

Therefore, he immediately called Chen Zekai to inquire about the specific situation.

Chen Zekai could only report truthfully, telling Master Ye in detail about Ye Zhangmin going to find Ma Lan and being kidnapped together with her.

After listening, Master Ye blurted out, "Chen Zekai, do you think the other party is targeting Zhangmin, or that Ma Lan?"

Chen Zekai said, "Master, I really can't analyze the specific situation right now. The eldest lady has a high status; perhaps there are truly desperate criminals who want to kidnap her to extort a huge amount of wealth. And Young Master Ye Chen's mother-in-law has a very sharp personality and has offended many people in her daily life. It's possible the other party is here to seek revenge on her. All of this will only be known after finding them."

Master Ye immediately said coldly, "Chen Zekai, I have two requirements! First, no matter what, you must rescue Zhangmin, or you will be held accountable; second, immediately capture Zhangmin's personal bodyguard, use family law to break their limbs, and then send them back to the Ye family for punishment!"
