Chapter 230: Ye Yuanhang’s Blood Fiend

In the Ye family’s living room, Mr. Ye’s face was gloomy.

His third son, Ye Xuan, had been missing for nearly twenty years. Yet, immediately upon his return, he actually wanted to nominate his own daughter to be the Sect Leader of Fuxing?!

Elder Ye felt that his third son’s demand was much too excessive. He believed that San was just acting recklessly and making a scene again. It was simply outrageous.

Since childhood, this third son of his had never shown any interest in studying. Instead, he loved delving into astronomy, geography, Feng Shui, and the stars. Later, he developed a passion for martial arts and learned his craft at a martial arts school run by Chinese people. Eventually, realizing that martial arts wasn’t what he had imagined, Ye Xuan went back to researching astrology, geography, and the like.

Elder Ye was at his wit’s end. Believing that marriage would finally settle the young man down, he arranged a match for him.

For the first year after the wedding, Ye Xuan did indeed change for the better. He even started working at the company. A year later, Ye Ziqiu was born.

However, on a random day when Ye Ziqiu was three years old, Ye Xuan vanished overnight. There was absolutely no trace of him. The whole family searched for half a month but found nothing. Half a year later, Ye Ziqiu’s mother abandoned the child and remarried.

Therefore, Ye Ziqiu was raised by Mr. Ye from a young age.

Now, Ye Xuan had returned, but he looked like a hermit or a Daoist. His long hair hung loose, and he wore an archaic, old robe paired with tattered cloth shoes. Surprisingly, his appearance hadn’t changed much. He looked almost exactly the same as he did twenty years ago; there wasn’t even a trace of time passing on his face.

He was the same as he was twenty years ago, yet somehow entirely different.

What remained the same was that his obsessions had only deepened—he was still researching the stars, Feng Shui, and similar concepts. What was different, however, was the indescribable, peculiar vibe he gave off.

"San, you’ve been away from home for too long and don’t understand the company. But it’s good that you’re back. Just stay home and rest for a while," Elder Ye said, choosing not to reject his third son outright, but rather pointing out his ignorance of the current situation.

Ye Xuan smiled faintly and glanced at Ye Ziqiu. A hint of tenderness seemed to linger in his gaze, a softness he reserved solely for his daughter. Turning back to Elder Ye, he said, "Dad, there is a reason I want Ziqiu to take charge of Fuxing!

"Because in our family, only Ziqiu can turn the tide of our future. If we let Big Brother or his lineage continue to helm Fuxing, the company will go bankrupt and face liquidation within five years.

"Therefore, only Ziqiu can save Fuxing and lead it to another twenty years of glory!"

"San, what do you mean by that? You’re even sicker now than before!" Ye Yuanhang scolded.

Elder Ye sighed. "San, you’d better rest for a while!"

With that, Elder Ye turned to go upstairs.

Right at that moment, Ye San—Ye Xuan—suddenly declared, "Big Brother is going to die!"

Elder Ye nearly stumbled and fell, while Ye Yuanhang abruptly shot up to his feet. Was the eccentric Ye San actually cursing him to die? What kind of younger brother was this?

Ignoring the furious Mr. Ye and Ye Yuanhang, Ye Xuan continued, "The reason I chose to return at this specific time is that this period is a turning point for the Ye family. I divined that during this time, our family will face a calamity of bloodshed.

"And your lifespan, Big Brother, will end within a year at the latest.

"Of course, there might still be a chance to turn things around, but that depends on what we do!

"I am a member of the Ye family. I am your son, Father. I am Ziqiu’s father, and I am Big Brother’s sibling. Thus, I would never harm any of you.

"Naturally, you can choose not to believe me. A year from now will prove whether my words are true or false!

"However, knowing that our home faces a bloody calamity and choosing to ignore it would violate my Daoist heart of cultivation.

"Furthermore, no matter how disappointed Ziqiu is with this family, she doesn’t want to see it fall into ruin.

"Therefore, I hope you will consider this carefully and make a prudent choice, Father!

"As for you, Big Brother, choosing to step down from your position at Fuxing is your only silver lining of survival!"

"Hmph, after all that talk, aren’t you and your daughter just taking revenge on me?" Ye Yuanhang snorted angrily.

At this point, Elder Ye stared at Ye Xuan and asked, "The Black Glove organization and their behind-the-scenes boss want to take Ziqiu away. They even killed everyone in the house right in front of me and kidnapped Zisu. You just said you’ll handle it? How exactly are you going to handle it?

"Do you even know what Black Glove is? Do you know about Superpowers?"

Ye Xuan shook his head, but then nodded. "I will handle Black Glove. Besides, without my permission, no one in this world can take Ziqiu away!"

Ye Ziqiu was extremely confused at this moment. She wondered, "What is Black Glove? What behind-the-scenes boss? Take me away? Why do they want to take me away?"

"Grandpa, what is this Black Glove you’re talking about? Why does their boss want to take me away?" Ye Ziqiu asked in bewilderment.

Elder Ye glanced at Ye Ziqiu and took a deep breath. "I don’t know who the boss behind Black Glove is either, but I feel he might be connected to that little security guard you know."

"Hmph! Ziqiu, not only did they kill all the bodyguards and servants right in front of your grandpa, but they also kidnapped Zisu," Ye Yuanhang scoffed furiously.

Ye Xuan chuckled softly. "It seems my divination was not wrong. Black Glove might just be the calamity of bloodshed facing the Ye family. So, let them come. I will deal with them."
