The Mountain Raised a Monster: Now the World Pays
Chapter 31 – Zhou Ruoyu is in danger
Ye Beichen looked at the folder in his hand, which detailed the case from five years ago.
The file Han Yue gave Ye Beichen described it as a home invasion robbery.
The culprit had already been brought to justice!
Even though all of Jiangnan knew that the Ye family of three was killed by a martial artist.
In the archives of Jiangnan, the official records stated that the Ye family of four died at the hands of a gang of robbers.
Yes!
A family of four!
Including his parents and elder brother.
Ye Beichen's file was clearly written inside.
His age at death was recorded as eighteen.
"I've already investigated, and the ones responsible for this are the King of Jiangnan and the Zhao family," Han Yue slowly spoke. "But the Zhao family is not the real mastermind! Zhao Erchen was only responsible for the aftermath, later swallowing some of the Ye family's assets, that's all."
"This document was commissioned by the King of Jiangnan, I've confirmed this without a doubt."
"As for other connections, they are all listed above. The two Heaven-Rank martial artists serving the King of Jiangnan, one named Hong Xiao and the other Hong Wu, both died at your hands."
"We also investigated the King of Jiangnan. He served in the military for forty-two years and had no grievances with the Ye family."
"He has been stationed in Jiangnan for fifteen years and had no conflicts with the Ye family!"
"Five years ago, the Ye family was just a moderately wealthy family, not even considered rich. How could they have any enmity with the King of Jiangnan?"
"But one day, five years ago, the King of Jiangnan's two subordinates attacked the Ye family. Was it just bad luck for the Ye family?"
In just one night, the Han family had figured out the entire story.
Their power was evident!
If Ye Beichen were to investigate, it would be difficult to uncover the details.
Ye Beichen turned another page.
Han Yue's voice was as gentle as water, slowly saying, "I investigated all the call records of the King of Jiangnan from five years ago. The day before the Ye family tragedy, a special call was made to the King of Jiangnan."
"This person..."
At this point, Han Yue paused.
Ye Beichen also saw that on that page, behind the person who called the King of Jiangnan, there was a big question mark.
"War God Lingfeng?" Ye Beichen squinted his eyes.
Han Yue was startled; she had intended to leave some suspense and not reveal everything to Ye Beichen.
But she hadn't expected Ye Beichen to guess the name!
She could only nod, "Yes, War God Lingfeng."
"Is he really involved in my parents' death?" Ye Beichen's eyes narrowed, a fierce light flashing within them.
Han Yue was silent for a moment before saying, "Doctor Ye, at this point, I haven't continued the investigation."
"One night wasn't enough time."
"But—"
She paused, a cold arrogance flickering in her beautiful eyes, "If you save my grandfather, the Han family isn't afraid to investigate further."
War God Lingfeng was the governor of the Southeastern Province!
He controlled Eastern Jiang, Jiangnan, Jiangbei, and Jinling, with all four kings under his command.
He had a 1.2 million-strong army at his disposal!
In ancient times, he could have even declared himself emperor!
The Han family was not afraid of War God Lingfeng; their foundation was indeed terrifying.
Ye Beichen looked coldly at Han Yue, "Are you trying to make a deal with me?"
"Everyone has something they need," Han Yue smiled.
"No need, I'll find War God Lingfeng myself!" Ye Beichen shook his head directly.
What?
He's going to find War God Lingfeng himself!
Is this guy crazy?
Or is he a newborn calf unafraid of the tiger?
Doesn't he know how terrifying War God Lingfeng is?
But he is the only Great Grandmaster in the Southeastern Province!
And the only king in the Southeastern Province!
If it weren't for the special situation in Zhonghai, and the Han family having a backer in Dragon Capital, they wouldn't dare to investigate War God Lingfeng!
Even if Ye Beichen had decent strength and incredible medical skills, how could he possibly be a match for War God Lingfeng?
'Is he too confident? Young and talented, with strength and medical skills, he indeed has reason to be proud, but he's overconfident!' Han Yue thought to herself.
She was about to speak.
"Beep beep beep!"
Ye Beichen's phone suddenly rang. He pressed the answer button, "Are you Ye Beichen, the one who used that card to spend ten million yuan at a luxury car dealership in Dragon Nation?"
"Is that card in your possession?"
The other party's Mandarin was not standard.
It was very stiff, with a foreign accent.
"Who are you?" Ye Beichen frowned.
The foreign man on the other end of the line said, "You don't need to know who we are, and you have no right to know."
"How did you get that card?"
"Did you find it?"
"Let me tell you, this card has a significant background. You'd better hand it over, or you'll never see your fiancée and family again."
"Smack!"
A crisp slap sound came through.
"Beichen, don't come back..." Zhou Ruoyu's voice came through.
This novel is available on bit.ly/3iBfjkV.
Then the foreign man's voice came again, "I don't care where you are, if you don't return in an hour, we'll kill them and then come for you."
"Don't doubt our power, no matter where you are, we can find you."
Beep beep beep...
After saying this, the foreign man hung up the phone.
An hour, how could he possibly make it back from Jinling in an hour?!!!
"Ruoyu!" Ye Beichen's eyes turned red.
During his five years on the run, Zhou Ruoyu had done so much for his family!
His parents' and brother's graves were all maintained by her!
It was also Zhou Ruoyu who kept thinking of him!
He hadn't even repaid her kindness, and now, because of him, Zhou Ruoyu's family was in danger!
"I don't care who you are, if you dare to harm Ruoyu's family, I'll kill you all!!!" Ye Beichen's eyes blazed with fury.
"Doctor Ye, what's wrong?"
Han Yue was startled by Ye Beichen's state.
"I need to get to Jiangnan in an hour!" Ye Beichen was like a wild beast.
Han Yue nodded without hesitation, "Alright, I'll prepare it for you immediately."
She immediately took out her phone, "Prepare a plane for me, get to the rooftop of Sunshine Jincheng Community as fast as possible!"
Han Yue's efficiency was astonishing. Just as Ye Beichen and she reached the rooftop, a plane was hovering above.
A rope ladder was lowered!
Ye Beichen climbed up directly.
Han Yue, agile and nimble, climbed up after him.
She was also a martial artist, but her strength was only at the Profound Rank!
"Your meridians are blocked. If you unblock them, your strength can reach a higher level," Ye Beichen suddenly said.
Han Yue was instantly delighted, understanding Ye Beichen's implication, "Thank you, Doctor Ye!"
Ye Beichen's gaze darkened as he looked toward the direction of Jiangnan.
Han Yue didn't waste any time, instructing the plane to fly toward Jiangnan at maximum speed.
After Ye Beichen and Han Yue left, Xia Ruoxue and Sun Qian were still standing dazed in the room.
After a long while, Sun Qian's face flushed red, "Ruoxue, who exactly is this Ye Beichen?"
"Just now... just now, the things he and that woman were discussing..."
"My God, it was related to the King of Jiangnan and War God Lingfeng?"
Although Sun Qian was an ordinary girl, she knew about the King of Jiangnan and War God Lingfeng.
To ordinary people, these were absolutely ceiling-level figures!
Ye Beichen had a grudge against them?
Sun Qian was almost scared silly!
