Chapter 92: Ye Feng is the Grand Elder’s Illegitimate Son?

Chapter 92: Chapter 92: Ye Feng is the Grand Elder’s Illegitimate Son?

It took him a good while to react. He looked at the Grand Elder and quickly forced a smile to explain, "Grand Elder, you’ve misunderstood. That’s not what I meant. Please, listen to me. This madman..."

Before he could finish, the Grand Elder cut him off in a cold voice:

"There’s no need to explain. I’m already perfectly clear on everything that just happened. If you hadn’t pushed him so relentlessly, why would my young friend have flown into such a rage?

Pan Jie, isn’t it? As a deputy mayor, you are supposed to use your power to bring prosperity to the people.

But you’ve done the exact opposite, turning your power into a tool for corruption and personal gain, a weapon to oppress the people. You were even willing to open fire and kill just to protect your own family.

I’ll ask you this: Who gave you such audacity? Who gave you the nerve?"

"I... I..." Pan Jie’s face was deathly pale, sweat pouring down like rain. His mouth hung open, but not a single word came out.

At this moment, the Grand Elder spoke coldly, "For a morally bankrupt creature like you to hold this position is nothing short of a nightmare for the people. It’s time this parasite was cleaned out."

With that, he looked at a man in a suit behind him and commanded coldly, "Call the Ministry of Personnel and have this man completely removed. At the same time, turn him over to the Disciplinary Office for a strict investigation. If any issues are found, he is to be dealt with to the fullest extent!"

Pan Jie let out a pathetic cry, collapsing to the floor like a boneless stray.

He knew he was finished. Utterly and completely done for.

Two men in suits came forward, grabbed his arms, and dragged him out.

Seeing that Ye Feng had such terrifying backing—that even Pan Jie was so easily crushed—Lin Yuan, who stood nearby, went pale.

Good heavens, this Ye Feng was terrifying. At the thought of his own arrogance in front of him just moments ago, Lin Yuan was so frightened he nearly pissed his pants. He staggered over to Ye Feng and said with a fawning smile:

"Um, Mr. Ye, everything I said earlier was just a joke. Please don’t take it to heart!"

He then pulled a bank card from his pocket and presented it to Ye Feng with both hands, bowing and scraping. "Mr. Ye, there are five million on this card. For you to buy some tea..."

The words had barely left his mouth when his phone began to ring insistently. He picked it up and listened for a moment, and in the next instant, he screamed:

"What did you say?! All of Lin Group’s clients have cut off all cooperation with the Lin family, and the Lin Group is facing a dead end?

What?! All of Lin Group’s shareholders have sold their shares at a low price to Cyan Cloud Group, and now Cyan Cloud Group is the Lin Group’s largest shareholder?

Mu Qingyun has dismissed the original chairman of the Lin Group and expelled everyone from the Lin family? Now the Lin Group is a subsidiary of the Cyan Cloud Group?"

The next moment, Lin Yuan collapsed powerlessly to the ground, his lips trembling as he cried out, "The Lin Group is finished... The Lin family is completely finished... It’s all over!"

Just then, Lin Qianqian, who had fainted, came to. She struggled to her feet, staggered over, and shrieked at Lin Yuan:

"Dad, that bastard dared to hit me! You have to get revenge for me! Kill him! Kill him..."

Lin Yuan stared at the true culprit, his eyes turning bloodshot. He leaped up, charged over to Lin Qianqian, and began to punch and kick her while roaring in fury:

"Revenge? Revenge my ass! If it weren’t for your arrogance, would the Lin family be in this situation? If you hadn’t been such a tyrant, would the Lin family be utterly ruined?

This is all your fault! You’re the cause of all this! I’ll beat you to death! I’ll beat you to death!"

Lin Qianqian’s screams were otherworldly, but no one paid her any attention.

Just then, Ye Feng’s phone rang. He answered it, listened for a moment, then hung up and looked at Wang Luyao with a smile.

"Luyao, Sister Qingyun has already transferred all of the Lin family’s assets to me. I have no use for them, so they’re yours.

I said I’d make them compensate for your loss with the entire Lin family, and I did. Are you satisfied now?"

Wang Luyao stared at Ye Feng, completely dumbfounded.

Just then, the Grand Elder looked at the two of them and laughed heartily. "Alright, young friend, bring your friend and let’s take our seats at the front. The banquet should be starting!"

Ye Feng nodded, leading the still-stunned Wang Luyao to the front to sit with the Grand Elder.

Everyone present stared at Ye Feng, their eyes filled with terror.

Good God, this Ye Feng was qualified to sit with the Grand Elder. What an imposing sight, what an honor! It was the kind of achievement that brought glory to one’s ancestors. If any of them could sit there, they’d probably have a stroke from the excitement.

The crowd looked at Ye Feng, but he sat there, his expression perfectly serene.

This earned a nod of approval from even the Grand Elder. ’Unflustered by honor or disgrace, calm and composed. To have such self-possession at such a young age... This boy is destined for greatness.’

「At two in the afternoon.」 Ye Feng and Wang Luyao took their leave.

To the astonishment of the crowd—making their jaws drop—the Grand Elder actually rose to see them off personally.

Good heavens, the Grand Elder’s status was so revered that even the head of a province wouldn’t be qualified to have him see them off, yet today, Ye Feng was granted this singular honor.

Just who on earth was this Ye Feng? How could he be so powerful?

Everyone began to whisper among themselves. Someone even guessed that Ye Feng must be the Grand Elder’s illegitimate child, a "seed" he’d left behind after failing to take "protective measures."

...

By this time, the group with Ye Feng, Wang Luyao, and the Grand Elder had arrived outside the hotel.

Ye Feng turned to the Grand Elder and said with a smile, "Grand Elder, thank you for supporting me today."

The Grand Elder laughed loudly. "Young friend, if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t even be here. If we’re talking about thanks, I’m the one who should be thanking you!"

Ye Feng smiled and said, "Grand Elder, let’s not be so formal. When we have a free moment, I’ll treat you to a good drink. We’ll let the wine do the talking, how about that?"

The Grand Elder laughed again. "Good! So straightforward! I enjoy dealing with people like you!"

Ye Feng smiled, shook the Grand Elder’s hand, and then turned to leave with Wang Luyao.

As they reached the car, Wang Luyao was still in a daze. She looked at Ye Feng, her expression one of disbelief. "Ye Feng, is our crisis from today... really and truly over?"

Ye Feng reached out to pinch Wang Luyao’s pretty cheek and said with a smile, "Of course it’s over, you silly goose. With the Grand Elder standing there, who would dare cause trouble for us now?"

Wang Luyao thought for a moment and let out a long sigh of relief. But in the next instant, her pretty brows furrowed once more. She looked at Ye Feng and asked suspiciously, "Ye Feng, tell me the truth. Why is the Grand Elder so protective of you? How exactly do you know him?"
