Back in the car, Cheng Baoyi asked, "Xiao Tian, what's going on?"
Ye Tian replied, "That little star wanted to kill Auntie. These people are assassins."
Cheng Baoyi's face turned grim. "This woman is so vicious!"
Ye Tian said calmly, "I will return the favor. Those men have been hypnotized by me. They will turn on the female star. This incident also serves as a warning to Jiang Yulin to keep his woman in check."
Cheng Baoyi sighed deeply. "I never expected things to escalate to this point."
Ye Tian stated, "This woman is wicked and cannot be allowed to live. Auntie, you know nothing about this. After those men commit the crime, they will disappear completely."
Cheng Baoyi let out a soft sigh. "If this woman stays by Jiang Yulin's side, she will eventually kill him."
Ye Tian added, "So, I'm also helping Jiang Yulin."
After Cheng Baoyi boarded the train, Ye Tian returned home and practiced the Ghost God Steps for a while. He had taken a step towards becoming an immortal. Practicing the Ghost God Steps had become very easy for him, and he could now sustain it for ten minutes without feeling tired. Previously, he could only last for about ten seconds.
He practiced the Ghost God Steps in the morning, and in the afternoon, Zhou Jianrong contacted him. They arranged to go to Zhonghai that afternoon.
Zhou Jianrong, with his driver, drove them to Zhonghai.
En route, Zhou Jianrong said, "Mr. Ye, I've spoken with my friend. He's very pleased that you can come and said he will host us well tonight."
Ye Tian remarked, "Your friend is quite impressive, having amassed hundreds of billions at the age of forty-three."
Zhou Jianrong explained, "His name is Yu Long. His father was a wealthy magnate in Zhonghai and was once the richest man there. His current achievements are mainly due to inheriting the family business."
Ye Tian smiled. "The Yu family of Zhonghai, I've heard of them. A prominent family."
Zhou Jianrong confirmed, "Indeed. Within the Yu family, there are six billionaires with assets exceeding ten billion yuan, and Yu Long is one of them."
He continued, "Yu Long said that if Mr. Ye can resolve this matter, he is willing to offer a hundred million yuan as a reward for your efforts."
The villa worth eighty billion couldn't be lived in. If it could truly be resolved, a hundred million wasn't much.
Ye Tian didn't stand on ceremony. "We'll know if it can be resolved when we get there."
As their car passed by the Longhu Prison, Ye Tian noticed a crowd of people standing at the entrance. Liu Xuecheng was among them, gazing intently into the distance as if waiting for someone.
Ye Tian found it peculiar. He asked the driver to stop the car to the side and then called Liu Xuecheng.
Upon seeing Ye Tian's call, Liu Xuecheng quickly answered with a smile, "Mr. Ye."
Ye Tian said, "I'm in the car across the road. Are you welcoming some important figure?"
Liu Xuecheng replied, "In the car? Then I'll come to you."
After hanging up, Liu Xuecheng jogged over to Ye Tian's car and got in.
After a brief introduction to Zhou Jianrong, Ye Tian asked, "Who is coming to the prison?"
Liu Xuecheng explained, "It's said to be an exceptional master transported from a neighboring province. He killed seventeen people. The authorities have requested he be temporarily held at Longhu Prison. For him, I specifically had a cell built with thirty-centimeter-thick alloy walls and half-meter-thick alloy flooring, all to prevent his escape."
Ye Tian chuckled. "What kind of master makes you so nervous?"
Liu Xuecheng elaborated, "This man is named Yin Wuhou. He was reportedly a bodyguard for a certain influential figure. He went mad from practicing his techniques and injured people. It took over a hundred experts, with nine fatalities and twenty-seven injuries, to subdue him."
Ye Tian's eyes flashed. "It seems this person's strength is considerable."
As they were talking, a motorcade approached from ahead. Liu Xuecheng quickly said, "Mr. Ye, I have to go receive the prisoner now."
Ye Tian responded, "I'll go take a look."
He asked Zhou Jianrong to wait in the car and followed Liu Xuecheng to the entrance.
A specially protected truck stopped at the entrance. The door opened, revealing a massive alloy cage inside. Within the cage sat a man in his early forties, head bowed, cross-legged.
