“Patriarch, the Dragon Pavilion soldiers outside asked me to hand you a USB drive, saying it’s a gift for you.”
Hearing this, Ye Nantian regained a bit of spirit: “Bring it up, and get that laptop.”
After plugging it in and clicking open, it was all information about the Ye family!
Ye Nantian narrowed his eyes and sneered, “Clever move. Not only did you let me know clearly that you’re going to deal with me, but you even gave me all this evidence. But what’s the use now?”
Yes, it was too late to get it now.
The purpose of Ye Longlin having it sent to him was no longer just a provocation. The other party was clearly telling him that he had already submitted this evidence, and it was useless even if he got it.
A declaration of war!
This was an undisguised declaration of war!
The most crucial thing was that the other party had already submitted the evidence. It was likely that the Ye family wouldn’t be able to withstand it tonight.
“Tonight is a matter of life and death for the Ye family. Notify all our forces and prepare for a decisive battle!”
…
Glory Hall, Inner Courtyard.
The Grand Elder was tending to his flowers and plants in the courtyard. The rows of flowers and plants were the Grand Elder’s pride. His courtyard looked much more homely than the Second Elder’s. The Second Elder’s courtyard was bare, but at least his had flowers and plants.
“You really have a lot of leisure time, old man. The outside world is in turmoil.”
Ye Longlin said directly upon arrival, a helpless smile appearing on his lips. After all, the Grand Elder was already in a state of semi-retirement.
The Grand Elder shrugged, “What else can I do? You can’t expect this old man to go to battle, can you?”
Ye Longlin held Ye Churan’s hand. Ye Churan looked around curiously, her little head tilting towards the Grand Elder’s flowers and plants, a mischievous glint in her eyes.
“This is your daughter, isn’t she? Such a lovely little one.”
The Grand Elder’s eyes immediately lit up with affection upon seeing Ye Churan. This little one had some inexplicable charm that made her very likable.
“Little one, Grandpa has candy, do you want some?”
The Grand Elder was truly skilled at coaxing children. He pulled out a few pieces of candy from his pocket and said with a kind smile.
Ye Churan looked at Ye Longlin. After Ye Longlin nodded, the little one toddled over, “I want candy, candy.”
Ye Longlin walked over, peeling the candy wrapper for her as he spoke, “Yi Yi, can you stay here with Grandpa? Daddy will pick you up tonight, okay?”
Ye Churan immediately put down the candy, pouted, and held onto Ye Longlin tightly, “No, I want Daddy, I want Daddy.”
The Grand Elder chuckled helplessly, “It seems this little one is quite attached to you. My grandson isn’t like that. He’s not close to his parents, but he is close to me.”
“Children, it’s quite normal. They can also distinguish who is good to them and who is not. They seek advantages and avoid disadvantages; it’s human instinct.”
“Yi Yi, Daddy promises you, he’ll pick you up in two hours at most, okay? If Yi Yi agrees, Daddy will take you to buy new clothes tomorrow, alright?”
As soon as she heard about new clothes, Ye Churan quickly nodded, “Okay, okay, Daddy, you go ahead and do your business. Yi Yi will definitely wait for Daddy here obediently.”
Saying this, she tried to push Ye Longlin out, which left the Grand Elder stunned.
This girl is only one and a half years old, yet she’s already this smart?
“This child will surely be a talent for Tsinghua and Peking University in the future.”
“With both parents so outstanding, I wonder how far this little one will go.”
After Ye Longlin left, he headed directly to the Ye family.
At this moment, the Ye family had been completely sealed off. The Imperial Guards, the Royal Guards, and the Dragon Pavilion forces had surrounded the Ye family layer by layer, not even a mosquito could fly out.
Moreover, a bloody incident had already occurred.
“Boss, the Ye family is also gathering personnel.”
Yuan Gang walked over, a saber at his waist and a handgun holstered.
Ye Longlin nodded, “Got it. So far, has anyone appeared here?”
Yuan Gang knew what Ye Longlin was asking and shook his head.
“No rush, let’s wait a bit longer.”
Yuan Gang was confused. Although he didn’t know what his boss was waiting for, he would follow orders.
Meanwhile, the outside world was abuzz with the shooting incident that occurred in the capital that afternoon. Countless news media were reporting on it, and many people wanted to know what had happened.
However, the authorities had not provided any explanation.
At precisely six o’clock in the evening, the Glory Hall released a document – a notice regarding the Ye family’s treasonous activities.
As soon as this document was released, the capital exploded once more!
The document clearly stated that two years ago, during the border war in the east, the Ye family had leaked crucial information to the enemy country, which ultimately led to the deaths of fifty thousand soldiers and the disappearance of Ye Longlin and senior Dragon Pavilion officials for two years.
Now that the evidence was conclusive, all members of the Ye family were to be arrested. Any resistance would be met with death!
The release of this document caused the entire capital to erupt. Many people were stunned, and some even applauded.
This document caused some people to wail, while others were excited and thrilled.
The Ye family had been in this position for so many years, and many people had business dealings with them. This group naturally did not want anything to happen to the Ye family. However, given the current situation, the Ye family was likely in trouble. After all, the crime of colluding with the enemy and treason was too serious. As a result, after this document was released, no one spoke up for the Ye family.
The main reason was that no one dared to; many people were afraid of being implicated.
Moreover, this was the first time that the Royal Guards, the Imperial Guards, and the Dragon Pavilion had jointly deployed!
They dared not court disaster.
“Boss, the Glory Hall has released a document.”
Yuan Gang hurried over and showed Ye Longlin the document released by the Glory Hall.
Upon seeing the document, Ye Longlin smiled, stood up, and walked into the Ye family’s residence.
Inside, Ye Nantian had already set up a chessboard, with a pot of tea brewing beside it.
“I didn’t expect you to come so soon. I thought it would be more than a month later.”
Ye Nantian sighed, a helpless look in his eyes.
Ye Longlin sat down directly and smiled, “Do you think the Ye family still has a way to survive? Now that the document is out, even if you win today, the Grand Masters will intervene. If you defeat the Grand Masters, then the nation’s powerful experts will intervene. No matter what, your Ye family is bound to be annihilated, without any possibility of escape.”
“Then do you think I will lose this game of chess between us?”
