The men following Ye Lingfeng didn't hesitate, immediately surrounding Old Master Ye. Their eyes gleamed with a sinister smile.
"We rarely get to deal with old geezers like you."
"We're actually afraid of accidentally beating you to death. Fortunately, we have a medicine that can put you in a death-like state."
"Once Young Master Ye completely takes over the Ye family, he'll definitely wake you up so you can see what kind of scene it will be then."
"The most beloved granddaughter will surely become Young Master Ye's plaything. After all, there's no blood relation between them."
"Once Young Master Ye is done playing with her, she'll be ours."
"I have to say, your granddaughter is as beautiful as a celestial being. No wonder Lin Xiaotian is helping her out. If it were me, I'd do the same. After all, winning the favor of a great beauty and having her willingly come to you is quite a conquest."
The men spewed vulgarities, causing Old Master Ye's face to turn red with anger.
"You will all die!"
"Lin Xiaotian will definitely not let you off easily. I believe Lin Xiaotian will return to deal with you scoundrels."
"Especially you!"
"You are a little beast. Our Ye family raised you, yet you turn around and bite us. You are an ungrateful wretch. We shouldn't have been soft-hearted back then; we should have just killed you."
Old Master Ye's voice was hoarse with rage, and his body trembled slightly. He was old, and after saying these words, he was so angry that a mouthful of blood surged up.
"You're already spitting blood at the very beginning?"
"Will you be so angered to death when you wake up again?"
"Do you know how many grievances I suffered in your family? All your good things were supplied to your own people. You said you raised me as an adopted son, but did any of you treat me as a person?"
"When you said you were nurturing me, that was just an excuse for you to use me."
"Old man, you should obediently go into your scheduled slumber. When you wake up again, you'll see what a truly powerful Ye family looks like."
"For stubborn old guys like you, I have to torment you with methods. However, I can't let you die now. You still have a more important role to play in the future."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but laugh with satisfaction.
The men were about to make their move, having already pried open Old Master Ye's mouth.
Just then, a cold voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"I gave you a chance, but you're useless!"
"So much time has passed, and you still haven't made a move."
"If I were your superior, I would have killed you long ago. Someone like you, a waste, is just wasting air."
Hearing the sudden voice, Ye Lingfeng turned his head sharply. His eyes were filled with disbelief. The voice was too familiar; he would never forget it in his life.
"Lin Xiaotian, why are you here at this time?"
"Shouldn't you be dealing with the troubles at your company first?"
"We've already made arrangements. Many things were planned to disrupt your progress."
His voice trembled violently. The many people in front of Lin Xiaotian were useless, let alone the dozen or so lackeys of the Ye family who had defected to him. Even if those men were ten times more numerous, they would likely not be a match for Lin Xiaotian. And now, with his hands and feet bound, he didn't even have a chance to escape.
Lin Xiaotian smiled and said, "Do you think I'm stupid?"
"Since I knew you wanted to deal with the Ye family, and you wanted to go around and deal with me, why would I let you have your way?"
"Someone as smart as me naturally knows what's important. It's okay to lose some money. Money can be earned again, but if a person is gone, then nothing is left."
As he said this, he strode into the hall without hesitation and looked at Old Master Ye.
"Old Master, long time no see!"
"You've come at just the right time. Our Ye family owes you a huge favor again." Old Master Ye's face showed a bitter smile. His eyes then blazed with boundless fury. "Xiaotian, old man, I beg you, you must help us clear out the traitors."
"Kill this ungrateful little bastard."
"I want him to wish he were dead but unable to die. We raised him, gave him the best resources, and now he's turning around and trying to swallow our entire Ye family in one bite."
His rage had reached its peak.
Lin Xiaotian nodded with a smile. "That's for sure."
"This guy has already done such wicked deeds. As an honest and kind young gentleman, I naturally can't let him continue to be arrogant."
"But you said, Old Master, that you owe me a huge favor. If I need your help with anything in the future, you can't refuse."
Old Master Ye said with firm eyes, "Of course not. As long as you have any command, Xiaotian, we will do our best to help you, even if it means going through fire and water."
Lin Xiaotian had only said it casually. He just wanted Old Master Ye not to feel too burdened. He also wanted the Old Master to know that he would still need the Ye family's help in the future.
"Alright, I'll deal with this guy now."
Lin Xiaotian smiled and turned his gaze to Ye Lingfeng. Ye Lingfeng's body trembled violently, his eyes filled with extreme fear.
"Don't mind that old man. Restrain him. You must capture him, or all of us will die today."
"Take out your weapons and don't be polite with him. Kill him."
The dozen or so Ye family members were slightly stunned. They were holding the most powerful weapons. Didn't this guy fear them? Why was he still smiling at them?
"The fire-poking sticks you have in your hands, I find them too short for me."
"Now, put down your things, and perhaps I can spare your lives. I'll just send you in. But if you continue to act, then don't blame me for being impolite."
Lin Xiaotian had already produced over a dozen silver needles. He knew what these people would choose next.
The Ye family members were momentarily stunned but quickly reacted. One of them laughed arrogantly, "You little brat, do you really think you're a god?"
"Do you think we wouldn't dare to pull the trigger and shoot you?"
"Although I don't know why Ye Lingfeng is afraid, since you want to stop us, you must die today."
