Ye Family was not the kind of underworld which relied on power, like that of Master Hou's. Martial arts was highly regarded in the underworld. In order to become a hegemon, one needed a large number of people, masters and money. However, money could only be regarded as one of the key components.
Businessmen were different. Businessmen fought for wealth. If one owned money, one would own everything. Even in a large corporation like the Ye Family, it only owned a handful of masters. Bao Lei was only the one in the transforming strength stage. Uncle Ming, who was in the concealing strength stage was the second strongest.
Those who were in the transforming strength stage were considered to be a grandmaster in the realm of martial arts. Even in the ancient times when martial arts were prevalent, they were capable enough to accept disciples, let alone the era when martial arts were unsought after.
Ye Xinyi brought several East Heaven King's masters to the villa, but they arrived a step too late. Everyone had been rescued. After learning that the rescuers were Ye Tianming and Bao Lei, Ye Xinyi turned pale and appeared somewhat depressed.
According to Bao Lei's identity, no one could command him unless Ye Bancheng ordered him to do so. Ye Tianming rescuing the directors wasn't the most depressing. What was truly depressing was that Bao Lei and Ye Tianming came together. This meant that her father was against her.
Uncle Li obviously understood this. He brought Ye Xinyi to one side and whispered in a voice that no one else could hear, "Miss, what should we do?"
Ye Xinyi smiled bitterly and said, "What else can I do?"
Uncle Li sighed and said, "At this point, we should probably ask Master for forgiveness."
"Forgive me..." Ye Xinyi laughed miserably and said, "He forgives me, and then? I will then become a stray dog through and through. In their eyes, I also become a loser through and through. "
Uncle Li whispered, "The second way is to stick with East Heaven King temporarily. We can use the power of East Heaven King or Master Hou to make a comeback."
Ye Xinyi shook her head. She smiled and said, "Uncle Li, if I leave Ye Family, I will be left with nothing, except for my beauty. By that time, I will have to offer my body to this disgusting man who does nothing but sings on the stage."
"What will Missy do now?"
"I don't know..." Ye Xinyi's eyes were filled with hatred. "The old man is biased towards Ye Tianming. Otherwise, why would he deal with me? Since I have lost, I'll take a look at the faces of the winners now. I'm going to meet my father first!"
Ye Xinyi was an ambitious woman. After her ambition was shattered, her heart was left with despair and hatred. Now, she no longer thought about how to grab the position of chairman. Instead, she wanted to fulfill her original idea, which was to vent all the frustration in her heart over the years. She could even sever all ties with her family!
Ye Xinyi and the others walked out of the villa. Suddenly, Uncle Li grabbed Ye Xinyi and jumped to the side. Two bullets landed at the spot, where Ye Xinyi was at. There was movement in the jungle in front of them.
Uncle Li's expression changed and said coldly, "All of you protect Big Missy. I'll be right back!"
Uncle Li rushed into the woods and chased after the figure in front of him.
The man in front did not run very fast. After chasing for about a hundred metres, Uncle Li caught up with the shadow in front of him. His five fingers were like paws. It was as though he wanted to tear the man apart. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the man's back. He had decided to severely injure the man first. He would interrogate him about the mastermind and then kill him.
Uncle Li was also a ruthless person. Before he could grab the man's back, a hidden weapon struck across from above like a meteor. Ignoring the man in front, Uncle Li dodged hurriedly. Poof, an unknown hidden weapon penetrated through the ground.
The man in front took the opportunity and ran for a few meters. He then stopped and turned around. He looked Uncle Li and smiled. "Nice to see you, Uncle Li."
Uncle Li sneered coldly. This man was in the forging bone stage. Uncle Li met him before as he worked under Ye Tianming, however, Uncle Li was not familiar with him. Uncle Li couldn't even remember his name. In the eyes of Uncle Li, he had always been a small minion.
Suddenly, two other people appeared. They weren't strong. They were all in the forging bone period, which was the first stage of martial arts. Uncle Li had to be careful of the person who used a hidden weapon to counter him.
A huge black shadow jumped down from the top of the tree and fell to the ground with a crashing sound. Upon seeing this person's appearance, even the calm Uncle Li could not help but exclaim, "Bao Lei!"
The person standing in front was the strongest in Ye Family and one of the strongest in Jiang City—Bao Lei.
Although Uncle Li had reached concealing strength stage, he just reached the middle realm of concealing strength stage not long ago. He was still far from reaching the transforming strength stage. Although he was strong enough to be considered a grandmaster, he was not strong enough to fight Bao Lei.
Uncle Li understood what was going on after thinking momentarily. He smiled bitterly and said, "You didn't want to kill Big Missy at all. The main motive behind the two shots is to lure me here so that you can kill me."
Bao Lei looked at Uncle Li calmly and said, "Since you understand what is going on, do you still need me to do this? Just kill yourself!"
Uncle Li asked, "How will you deal with Big Missy after I die?"
Bao Lei said, "Big Missy is part of Ye Family. This is their family business and has nothing to do with me. But I can guarantee that as long as I am around, no one can deal with Ye Family."
Uncle Li breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Well, I'm relieved. I know that Mr. Bao Lei is one of the masters in the whole of Hei Province. Let me have a taste of Mr. Bao Lei's power! "
While talking, Uncle Li squared up.
Bao Lei looked mockingly at Uncle Li and sneered coldly. "You overestimate yourself!"
Uncle Li punched Bao Lei and Bao Lei retaliated. They fought head to head. Uncle Li knew that he couldn't win, so he retracted his fist, stepped aside and moved his elbow. After getting close to Bao Lei, he elbowed Bao Lei's chest directly while avoiding Bao Lei's fierce blow.
With a bang, Uncle Li firmly elbowed Bao Lei on the chest. Bao Lei took two steps back. His chest was burning in pain, but Uncle Li was a worse state. His whole arm was numb as though he was shocked and was immobile.
Uncle Li could not help but be astonished. He couldn't have hurt Bao Lei unless Bao Lei was careless. Even if Bao Lei was hit, it seemed that Uncle Li hadn't gained the upper hand. Transforming strength was really formidable!
Uncle Li did not dare to retreat. Once he retreated, he would never have the chance to fight back. Even though the disparity of strength was very big, he still pounced on Bao Lei again. Uncle Li kicked Bao Lei continuously. Although his legwork wasn't very good, his shoulder was paralysed so he was forced to use poor legwork to attack the enemy. Bao Lei instantaneously saw the weak point and grabbed his left leg. Accompanied by a loud snap, Bao Lei struck Uncle Li's leg. Uncle Li screamed as his left leg was instantly broken.
Uncle Li fell to the ground.
Bao Lei felt a pain in his chest and frowned slightly. He was really too careless just now. Furthermore, Uncle Li had unleashed all his strength in that blow. Although he had passed the bone refining and clear-strength stage and trained his body to a certain extent, his chest was still in pain after receiving such a harsh blow from Uncle Li.
Bao Lei looked furious. He stepped forward and asked, "What are your last words?"
Uncle Li looked sad. He pleaded, "Mr. Lei, don't forget your promise... Please protect Big Missy."
"Don't need you to tell me. She is part of Ye Family. Who will hurt her? If you have nothing else to say, go to hell! "
After he finished speaking, Bao Lei kicked Uncle Li's chest. Uncle Li rolled on the ground. Bao Lei's kick broke Uncle Li's heart into pieces. He was confirmed to be dead.
The three men who came along with him walked up together and looked at Bao Lei in awe. One of them flattered, "Uncle Lei is worthy of being the top master in Jiang City. Ye Li even dares to attack Uncle Lei. He is overestimating himself."
His flattery was too ostentatious. Bao Lei gave no face and said coldly, "Jiang City's top master is not me. Cut the crap. Now that the person has been killed, let's go."
Those people agreed hurriedly. They smiled as they walked in front.
Uncle Li walked behind. When those people weren't looking at him, he spat out one mouthful of blood and wiped his lips. Although that strike wasn't fatal to a master like himself, he suffered some internal injuries. This was what Bao Lei had to pay for underestimating his enemy.
After passing through a forest, they found the parked car and went in together. The driver looked at them. Seeing that everyone was here, he started driving. Uncle Lei looked out of the window and looked gloomy throughout the journey.
One of the Qi masters smiled cautiously and asked, "Uncle Li, the person has been killed. Are you in a bad mood?"
There were hints of sadness and desolation in Bao Lei's voice. He said, "Throughout history, this has always been the case. Whenever there is family infighting, the loyal subordinates are often the ones who are sacrificed first. Ye Li has always been loyal to the Ye Family, especially to Big Missy. When has he ever been unfaithful?"
Bao Lei thought of Ye Li pleading with him to protect the Big Missy before he died. He was deeply touched. At this time, his sense of crisis suddenly rose. He didn't think much and pushed the man, who was leaning against the door out of the car. The man was pushed directly out of the car and landed on the roadside. When Bao Lei was going to jump out, the two remaining masters in the car suddenly grabbed him forcefully.
One of them also shouted, "Uncle Lei, I'm sorry, but Young Master has asked us to find a way to kill you in the car. We can't let you get off the car."
Bao Lei thundered. "You two idiots!"
He was furious. His internal injuries became worse and he became slower. He broke a person's neck and smashed the other person's head into pieces. With this delay, he was unable to escape the car in time. With a loud sound, the car exploded into flames. The driver and the two bodies were reduced to ashes.
Bao Lei, who was in the transforming strength stage did not die but he was covered with fire. He was completely enveloped by the fire, just like a burning man. He screamed in pain and shouted angrily, "Ye Tianming! Ye Tianming!!!"
He ran forward for a few meters, then fell to the ground and began to roll. When the flames were extinguished, his whole body was burned like coke. He was motionless. No one knew whether he was dead or alive.
The Qi master who was first pushed out of the car by Bao Lei was stunned by this scene. He muttered to himself, "Why... Why..."
He still remembered the time when Young Master told them not to let Bao Lei return alive. As they were very close to one another in the car, so it was best to kill Bao Lei in the car. In short, they must not let Bao Lei get out of the car. If Bao Lei wanted to get out of the car forcefully, they would cling onto Bao Lei desperately. Young Master would then have his own way.
As they knew Bao Lei was far stronger than the three of them, they couldn't defeat Bao Lei even if they worked together. Hence, he was still hesitating when he was in the car. He was then pushed out of the car by Bao Lei. After which, the car exploded.
He then knew that Young Master didn't count on them to kill Bao Lei at all. Young Master wanted to use their lives to delay Bao Lei for a while, even for a few seconds. The car was already equipped with a bomb. Hence, all of them would die when the car exploded.
While thinking, he became cold. He panicked and got up from the ground. He couldn't return to Ye Family, otherwise, Ye Tianming would silence him. Just as he was going to escape, he turned around and saw a man coming from the opposite direction. He was Ye Tianming's trusted master Zhang Zedan. He was in the middle realm of the clear-strength stage and was Ye Tianming's most trusted aide.
Zhang Zedan was playing with a remote controller in his hand. It was the detonating device, which he had just activated. He smiled grimly and said, "Young Master said that Bao Lei was very conceited. Furthermore, he had just killed Uncle Li. Hence, he was sympathetic to Uncle Li. He was distracted for a period of time, so he didn't discover the bomb. Otherwise, based on Uncle Lei's ability, how could he not discover the bomb in the car? Young Master calculated everything!"
The lucky survivor warbled. "What about, what about me?"
"You? You will be just like them. You must have known. Young Master didn't count on all of you to kill Uncle Lei. Uncle Lei, who is in transforming strength stage, has reached the level of a martial arts grandmaster. It is impossible for him to get killed by all of you. Therefore, Young Master just wanted all of you to delay Uncle Lei momentarily. Even a few seconds is enough to blast everyone and reduce all to ashes."
"So, so cruel."
Zhang Zedan laughed and said, "As for now, in order to keep this secret from anyone, you will have to die..."
"Ye Tianming, leave no means untried; kill two birds with one stone!"
