Chapter 635: 634 Chapter
The Ling Family Estate!
Within the courtyard where Ling Shuanghe lived, Ye Tianchen emerged from the main living room in the center. What exactly had happened inside was unknown to Bao Tianglong and Li San, who had been standing guard outside all along.
Now, having used "Bone Transformation Skill" to become Ah Pi, Ye Tianchen had carried in the Songhua Cake laced with a sedative. As he now walked out of the room, he slowly closed the door with a hint of a cruel smirk at the corner of his mouth.
What had transpired in that room during this time, whether Ling Shuanghe and Ling Yuxun, the grandfather and granddaughter duo, had eaten the drugged Songhua Cake, no one knew...
"Are you two blocking my way because you want to invite me for a late-night snack?" Ye Tianchen glanced at Bao Tianglong and Li San and asked.
"You canāt leave yet!" Li San said, staring intently into Ye Tianchenās eyes as if trying to see through something.
"Canāt leave? What do you mean?" Ye Tianchen asked indifferently.
"Our task is to protect Old Master Ling and Ling Yuxun. Youāve just been inside, and weāre unaware of the situation there. You can only leave after weāve ensured that both of them are unharmed!" Bao Tianglong, too, regarded Ye Tianchen seriously as he spoke.
Ye Tianchen was taken aback. He didnāt want to get entangled with Bao Tianglong and Li San, and was tempted to reveal the truth to them, to tell them that he was not really Ah Pi but rather the elder brother, Ye Tianchen.
However, the fewer people knew about this matter, the better. Ye Tianchen planned to deceive everyone. With this identity, he could gather more information. With the situation in the Ling family growing increasingly complex, relying solely on martial force might not be enough to resolve the issues perfectly without this identity.
"Really? Do you think the orders from the two of you count for much? Youāre nothing more than outsiders. I have been the butler of the Ling family for many decades. Do you have the authority to command me?" Ye Tianchen looked at Bao Tianglong, unimpressed.
"Talking too much is useless. Since youāre not willing to cooperate with our work, weāll have no choice but to subdue you. We will let you go only after weāve confirmed that Ling Shuanghe and Ling Yuxun are safe!"
During this exchange, Li San was already cracking his knuckles, preparing to make a move against Ye Tianchen. The brief exchange they previously had left Li San feeling disgruntled and filled with doubt. He felt a familiar power in the punch they had exchanged, but couldnāt quite place it.
That only increased his desire to confirm his suspicions and to determine a winner between him and this Ah Pi!
In this situation, not wanting to expose his identity, Ye Tianchenās only choice was to defeat Bao Tianglong and Li San. Otherwise, he would certainly give himself away and also cause unnecessary trouble.
"Fine, Iāll see just how formidable Ye Tianchenās subordinates are!" Ye Tianchen said, pretending to be disdainful.
The atmosphere within the courtyard tensed up instantly.
Bao Tianglong, Li San, and Ye Tianchen were all fully alert. Even though Ye Tianchenās abilities surpassed those of Bao Tianglong and Li San, if the two joined forces against him, it would be a tough fight. These two were among the strongest of the Thirteen Heavenly Kings and were not much inferior to him, so Ye Tianchen was extremely careful.
"Stop, Yuxun and I are fine, let Ah Pi go!"
However, just as Li San and Ye Tianchen were ready to clash, the voice of Ling Shuanghe called out from within the house. Li San glared at Ye Tianchen and said:
"Iāll let you off this time, but Iāll make you regret it when I leave the Ling family estate!"
"If only you can leave alive!"
After speaking, Ye Tianchen left the courtyard where Ling Shuanghe lived. The next moves would depend on Ling Yuyang, Ling Xia, and Ling Qingātime to respond to unchanging circumstances with flexibility!
Before he realized it, Ye Tianchen had arrived at the villa where Ling Qing lived. Naturally, he stopped, for Ling Qing was still standing at the second-floor windowsill watching him, and her personal maid was blocking Ye Tianchenās way.
"Staying up so late, do you also want to invite me for a late-night snack?" Ye Tianchen asked with a smile.
"Also? Could it be that someone else wants to invite you?"
The maid wasnāt lacking in intelligence; she discerned a hint from Ye Tianchenās words and stared intently into his eyes as she asked.
"Thatās my personal affair, I have the right not to say, right?" Ye Tianchen shrugged his shoulders and spoke nonchalantly.
"You... Ah Pi, donāt think you can do whatever you want in the Ling family estate just because you have the Young Master backing you up. Let me tell you, the current situation is still undecided, and the Young Master may not necessarily be the winner. Itās best for you to be smart about it!" The maid glared at Ye Tianchen fiercely as she spoke.
"With no definitive conclusion yet, who do you think will be the ultimate winner? Fourth Miss Ling Qing? Even if thatās the case, she should come and tell me herself. As for you, youāre just a servantāget lost!"
At this moment, Ye Tianchen looked at the maid with a cold expression, which frightened her so much that she couldnāt help but step back twice, still somewhat afraid. She probably hadnāt expected that Manager Apo would dare to speak in such a way, seemingly disregarding even the Fourth Miss.
"You..."
The maid trembled with anger, even contemplating attacking Ye Tianchen.
Yet Ye Tianchen had been ready for her, determined not to be courteous if the maid dared to lay a hand on him. He would immediately put down the maid. Although the three venomous offspring of Ling Shuanghe were off-limits for now, as for the other contemptible people, he would kill as many as there were.
"Apo, come up here and talk with me. I am giving you a chance for a fair conversation," Ling Qing called out at this time, standing on the second-floor balcony of the villa.
"Okay, I will come up right now!" said Ye Tianchen with a faint smile.
Enraged and hating herself for not being able to immediately kill Ye Tianchen, the maid also felt a mix of envy and resentment. This was because Ling Qing was the Fourth Miss of the Ling family. The young masters and mistresses were all flowers raised in a greenhouse, superior and lofty. Even though she was Ling Qingās personal maid, and Apo was the head boy to Master Ling Yuyang, rank was rank, servant was servant. They could never have an equal dialogue.
However, now Ling Qing, the Fourth Miss, who was always haughty and most favored in the Ling family, was actually offering to have an equal conversation with Apo, a mere servant manager. This was unbelievable, inconceivable, a rare honor, demonstrating the unique status and importance of Manager Apo at this time!
Ye Tianchen once again entered the villa where Ling Qing resided.
As soon as he walked in, Ye Tianchen stopped in his tracks and frowned. His powerful Superpower Perception picked up an inherently evil force, the same one he had sensed when he first entered the Ling family mansion. He had not ceased to use his Superpower Perception, trying to locate this profoundly evil force hidden somewhere on the Ling family property.
Now and then, even his powerful Perception couldnāt accurately pinpoint its position, a clear testament to the forceās immense power.
Ye Tianchen always felt that this inherently evil force would be the greatest obstacle in completing their mission; it was an instinctive intuition.
"Why arenāt you heading upstairs anymore? Afraid our Fourth Miss will kill you?" sneered the maid, following behind Ye Tianchen. Seeing him stop, she couldnāt hold back her mocking laughter.
"Rest assured, even if the Fourth Miss kills you now, she wonāt kill me because I am still useful to her. Without me, Iām afraid some of her matters couldnāt be accomplished!" Ye Tianchen replied indifferently.
"Well, letās see who dies first!" the maid glared at Ye Tianchen fiercely and said.
Ye Tianchen ascended to the second floor of the villa, where Ling Qing was still dressed in a nightgown. It could be called a nightgown, or it could be said she was barely wearing anything at allāalmost transparent. It must be said that this woman, although thirty, still maintained an incredibly fit figure, still the kind to evoke desire.
"Letās go, Manager Apo. I think itās time we had a proper talk," Ling Qing said to Ye Tianchen with a smile.
"Miss, Iād rather stand. Iāve gotten used to it over so many years!" Ye Tianchen shook his head in response.
"Whatās wrong? Afraid Iāll eat you up? Youāve been in the Ling family mansion for so many years, staying by Big Brotherās side as his personal manager. I donāt think your ambition and courage end there?" Ling Qing said with a smile, glancing at Ye Tianchen.
"Alright, then."
Ye Tianchen took a seat opposite Ling Qing, no interest in the woman wearing almost nothing but a transparent nightgown.
He knew, however, that this woman was undoubtedly about to carry out her schemes, as she was not only very shrewd but also highly ambitious.
Ling Qing, seeing Ye Tianchen sit down, signaled her maid with a look. The maid nodded and walked into an adjoining room, coming out with two cups of tea, which she placed in front of Ling Qing and Ye Tianchen before standing behind Ling Qing.
"Miss, I donāt seem to have much time for tea right now. If thereās something you want to discuss, please be direct!" Ye Tianchen asked with a smile.
"Fine, Manager Apo, youāre a straightforward person. I have a question for you. What have you gained from being with my big brother for over a decade?" Ling Qing asked, looking at Ye Tianchen.
Ye Tianchen paused, surprised. This woman was indeed very cunning and scheming; her question was clearly purposeful. So, calm and composed, Ye Tianchen smiled and said:
"Without the Young Master, I, Apo, would never have reached the heights Iāve achieved today. So, the Young Master is my benefactor!"
"Benefactor? Ha ha ha ha, Apo, I think youāre too naĆÆve. Forgive my bluntness, but youāre nothing more than a dog under my big brotherās hand, and a dog that Ling Yuyang would kill off as soon as youāre useless..." Ling Qing suddenly burst into laughter as she spoke.
