Chapter 257: Exterminate the Ke Clan

But Zhu Yeqing was leading Lin Yang, just about to walk into the office.

Zhu Yeqing's secretary, somewhat flustered, said to her.

"Chairman, those two people came again last time; they are waiting for you in the office."

"Those two didn't have an appointment, so I had the security drive them away."

"But those security guards were all injured by one of the youths."

"You'd better not go in yet."

Zhu Yeqing heard this and glanced at Lin Yang beside her.

She shook her head and said to her secretary.

"Take those security guards to the hospital for treatment first; I'll cover all medical expenses, then give them three days off."

"Go."

The secretary, who had wanted to say something, saw Zhu Yeqing's determined gaze.

She didn't waste words and left quietly.

Zhu Yeqing took a deep breath and pushed the door open.

Lin Yang followed behind and walked in.

Upon entering the room, a twenty-something youth was sitting in Zhu Yeqing's office chair.

At that moment, he was flipping through some documents.

The youth had a buzz cut, and his arm was tattooed with a scorpion.

With his pale face, he looked somewhat gloomy.

Not far away, Qu Zhenfei was holding a newspaper and reading.

Upon seeing Zhu Yeqing enter, the two turned their gaze toward her.

But when the youth saw Zhu Yeqing, his eyes lit up, a flash of heat appearing in them.

"Brother Fei, this time I finally get to see the real person; the chairman of Sihe Group is indeed a beauty."

"I have to take her back to Jinling with us!"

Zhu Yeqing heard this, her face darkened, and she said.

"You two, sitting in my office, injured my people, and then chatted away—don't you think you're disregarding my Sihe Group too much?"

Qu Zhenfei heard this and gave a hehe laugh.

He stood up, stretched lazily, and said to Zhu Yeqing.

"Zhu Yeqing, everyone fears you, but I don't."

"Let me tell you, this time we came to acquire Sihe Group."

Zhu Yeqing heard this, let out a cold laugh, and said.

"Acquire?"

"How much money are you prepared to offer for the acquisition?"

The youth gave a hehe laugh and said to Zhu Yeqing.

"Our Ke Clan can't come up with much money right now, so let's give you one hundred million."

"Don't underestimate this hundred million; we'll also give you some shares—isn't that generous?"

"Generous?"

Zhu Yeqing laughed and asked.

"What if I refuse?"

Ke Zhengnan gave a hehe laugh and said to Zhu Yeqing.

"If it were another time, I would acquire you through business means."

"But now it's different; if you refuse, I'll kill your whole family."

When speaking of killing, a hint of excitement appeared on Ke Zhengnan's face.

As if killing were a great pleasure.

Zhu Yeqing heard this, narrowed her eyes, and a butterfly knife appeared in her hand.

"Is that so? Then I'll have to test just how strong you really are."

Seeing the butterfly knife in Zhu Yeqing's hand, Ke Zhengnan smiled and said.

"A butterfly knife—really just a toy for women."

Having said that, he lunged at Zhu Yeqing.

His speed was too fast; before Zhu Yeqing could react, he was already close.

Just as he was about to touch Zhu Yeqing, Lin Yang acted decisively.

He hooked his five fingers like claws, grabbed Ke Zhengnan's shoulder, and exerted force.

"Crack"

The sound of bones breaking rang out.

A muffled groan sounded; Lin Yang exerted force again and smashed him to the ground.

Before Ke Zhengnan could react, a long sword appeared in his hand, and with one thrust it pierced his thigh and pinned him to the ground.

"Ah!"

A heart-rending cry rang out.

Qu Zhenfei, who had been somewhat pleased, saw this scene and was completely dumbfounded.

He stared at Lin Yang in disbelief.

Everything had happened too fast just now; all he saw was Ke Zhengnan being pierced through the thigh by a sword and pinned to the ground.

At this moment, Lin Yang had one foot on Ke Zhengnan's face.

"Tell me, how many people did the Ke Clan bring this time?"

Ke Zhengnan, being stepped on, shouted.

"You dare treat me like this, the Ke Clan will certainly not let you off!"

"By then, we will kill your whole family!"

Lin Yang's gaze turned icy, recalling what Yang Guobin had said.

He pulled out the sword that had been nailed into his thigh.

As Ke Zhengnan let out a painful roar, he severed both arms with a single sword strike.

Blood instantly stained the ground, dyeing the blanket red.

Even Zhu Yeqing had never seen such killing intent in Lin Yang before.

She stood there, not knowing what to say.

"I'll ask you again, how many people did the Ke Clan bring?"

At this moment, Ke Zhengnan's face had turned a sickly pallor from excessive blood loss.

He seemed to already sense the aura of death.

His pride had vanished in that instant.

"Right now, the Ke Clan has only sent me!"

"In a week, my fourth older brother will also come."

Lin Yang still asked with a cold expression.

"What are you here for!"

"We want to find the person who makes the Longevity Elixir."

"Earlier, the Chen Clan spread word that the maker of the Longevity Elixir is in the southwest."

Lin Yang gave a cold snort.

"As expected."

"The Ke Clan came to the southwest solely for the Longevity Elixir."

Seeing Lin Yang not kill him outright, Ke Zhengnan, suppressing his fear, asked.

"You don't know the Jinling Ke Clan?"

"Of course I know; six years ago it was still an obscure little clan."

"Actually, I still wish my dad would come back, and I envy other kids who have a dad, so I wouldn't be bullied."

Hearing Nannan's words, Ye Fei felt a pang of pity; such a young child being so sensible.

"Her mother should be taking antidepressants, while her father's whereabouts are unknown."

He rubbed Nannan's head.

"It's still raining; let me take Nannan home."

"My mom will be here soon; I have to wait for her."

Just as she finished speaking, a tall woman in a white shirt and white canvas shoes, head lowered, hands shielding her face, came running over with small quick steps.

Seeing the woman, Nannan smiled and walked under the eaves.

"Nannan is here waiting for her mom again; let's go back."

Hearing that familiar voice, Ye Fei froze and turned his head.

"It's raining; I have an umbrella you can take back."

Luo Xin had wanted to refuse, but seeing the rain intensify, she had no choice but to turn and take the umbrella.

"Thanks."

Upon turning, both Ye Fei and Luo Xin were stunned.

After a brief moment of shock, Luo Xin's pupils contracted; with three parts fear and seven parts hatred, she gritted her teeth and said.

"It's you!"

In this familiar place, she encountered the person she feared most and also hated the most.

It was he who shattered her life, turning her from a heavenly gifted lady into an ordinary person.

The Luo family felt she had brought shame upon them, the school expelled her, and her future and dreams were ruined.

And the architect of all this, she thought she would never see him again in this lifetime, never expecting to meet him today.

Looking at Luo Xin's gaze, Ye Fei didn't know how to speak for a moment.
