Chapter 55: Senior Sister, Has Something Happened?

Yang Tianming paused for a moment, then became so agitated that he started coughing repeatedly, causing even the heart monitor beside him to flicker erratically.

“Don’t move.”

Ye Fei gently reminded him, placing his palm on Yang Tianming’s chest and channeling his inner spiritual energy into the man’s ribs.

That spiritual energy, flowing like a serpentine dragon, seemed to be a transparent thread, gradually fusing the fractured ends of the bone together.

The energy of the Great Dao can nurture blood and bone.

Unfortunately, Ye Fei’s cultivation was still too shallow; he could only restore a little of Yang Tianming’s rib injury before reaching the limits of his strength, drenched in sweat.

At that moment, Yang Tianming, his face full of shock, managed to speak. “Fei, this…”

“I’m helping you because I consider you my brother,” Ye Fei waved his hand dismissively. “No need for thanks. I’ll have some trustworthy people keep watch. You should have your men stand down for now.”

A look of determination crossed Yang Tianming’s face as he nodded firmly. He vaguely recalled that the first time he met Ye Fei, he’d been just as heroic.

“Li Yueyao, do me a favor—” Ye Fei turned to Li Yueyao and said, “Call the police and have them send officers to take these two to the station. If they resist, or refuse to confess, let me know.”

As he finished, Ye Fei made a cutting gesture across his throat.

The bald man and the lawyer were so terrified they immediately fell to their knees, kowtowing and begging for mercy. “Please, boss, spare us… please, boss…”

Li Yueyao wasn’t so merciful. Fuming, she dialed the police.

Afterward, Ye Fei, Yang Tianming, and Li Yueyao exchanged a few words, and soon several officers arrived.

Following a brief discussion, the bald man and the lawyer were taken away, and Ye Fei and the others gave a simple statement.

“At last, it’s over!” Li Yueyao stretched lazily, then, as if suddenly remembering something, looked at Yang Tianming with curiosity. “Hey, Tianming, where’s your girlfriend? We saw her last time we had dinner together—why hasn’t she come to see you?”

“She… we broke up,” Yang Tianming replied helplessly. “The company’s prospects weren’t great, and all my money was tied up in it, so we drifted apart.”

“Oh.” Li Yueyao realized she’d said something she shouldn’t have and didn’t press further.

Ye Fei took the opportunity to stand and bid Yang Tianming farewell. “Yangzi, when you’re better, let’s catch up. For now, just focus on your recovery.”

Yang Tianming nodded slightly and closed his eyes to rest.

Once outside the hospital, Li Yueyao tossed Ye Fei a deep red sports car key and pointed to a BMW parked at the entrance. “Can you drive? Come to my place. I need a shower—after that creep touched me, I feel utterly disgusted!”

“I can’t. I need to go home,” Ye Fei declined, shaking his head, the image of Zhou Danzhuang appearing in his mind. “My senior sister is waiting for me at home.”

“Tell me, is there something going on between you and your senior sister? Otherwise, why would you break up with someone as beautiful as Shiyun?” Li Yueyao asked, full of curiosity. “And, how are you so good at fighting? Did you train at Shaolin or something?”

“And another thing—why does Tianming call you ‘Brother Fei’? How long have you two known each other?”

“Oh, and at the bar earlier, why did you act that way toward that hostess…”

“Shut up!”

Ye Fei clamped his hand over her mouth.

“Mm-mph!” Li Yueyao’s eyes widened in protest, and in her agitation, she bit down hard on Ye Fei’s finger.

“Ow!”

“Why did you bite me!”

“Go home, find your family—goodbye!”

With that, Ye Fei shook off her hand and dashed off, disappearing in a flash.

“You—Ye Fei!” Li Yueyao shouted after his retreating figure, stamping her foot in frustration.

…

Meanwhile—

Tenglong Chamber of Commerce, Seaview Villa.

Situfeng stood before the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the tranquil surface of the lake, his eyes gleaming with the sharpness of a man who would swallow the world.

For a long moment, he stood in silence.

Then his lips curled into a sneer.

“A mere Wangu Group—what can you possibly use to challenge me?”

“If I want to destroy you, I’ll play with you however I like!”

“With looks like that, if you don’t submit beneath me and let me ravage you to my heart’s content, what a waste of such a fine body, don’t you think?”

As he spoke, a mad gleam flashed across Situfeng’s face. He slammed his palm against the window and muttered a name under his breath.

“Lin Qiqing… Lin Qiqing… Lin Qiqing…”

Suddenly.

There was a knock at the office door.

“Come in,” Situfeng replied, instantly regaining his composure.

A tall, slender secretary entered, carrying a phone, her face quivering with fear as she spoke respectfully, “P-President… your son and Old Wang… at the Hornet Bar… they were crippled by someone named Ye Fei!”

Boom!

The desk crashed over as Situfeng erupted in rage.

“What did you say!?” His face twisted in fury, he looked like a raging beast.

…

After finally escaping from that troublesome woman, Ye Fei returned to his villa.

But the moment he stepped into the courtyard, he froze, the relaxed look on his face instantly vanishing, his eyes turning cold as ice.

There was a faint scent of blood in the courtyard.

He sensed it the instant he walked in.

This particular scent was all too familiar to Ye Fei.

“What… happened here?” Ye Fei looked up at the villa.

At this hour, his senior sister’s room should have been lit.

But now, the entire villa was deathly quiet.

The metallic tang of blood drifted on the wind.

“Damn!”

“Senior sister… something’s happened!”

A terrible thought flashed through Ye Fei’s mind. He shoved the door open and dashed inside.

A dark red stain was visible on the living room floor.

It wasn’t much, but it was enough to make Ye Fei tremble all over.

“Senior sister?”

“Senior sister?”

He called out twice, but there was no response.

At that moment—

The phone by the sofa began to ring.

Tring, tring.

Tring, tring.

Ye Fei frowned and picked up the receiver.

“Hello?”

There was silence on the other end for more than ten seconds.

Then a sinister laugh came through. “Heh heh heh… Ye Fei, your senior sister is with me now. If you want to save her, come to the abandoned factory at 23 Liberation Road. But let me warn you—if you’re not here within ten minutes…”

A loud crack sounded.

“Ye Fei… don’t… don’t come!” Lin Qiqing’s voice came through next.

“She’ll be nothing but my plaything.”

Click.

The call abruptly ended.

Ye Fei’s face darkened, murderous intent surging from within like a geyser.

He instantly recognized the voice on the other end.

Who else could it be but Zhang Tianfeng?

“Very well.”

“It’s been a long time since I was this angry.”

“If anything happens to my senior sister…”

“No one will be left alive!”

Taking a deep breath, Ye Fei turned and strode out the door without hesitation.
