Kong Ming's expression changed instantly.
For a dignified Three-Star General to call him boss, what would that make him?
A chilling thought struck him, and a deep fear surfaced in Kong Ming's eyes. Although he was reluctant to believe Ye Longlin's military rank was higher than Yuan Gang's, it was clear the other party's status was indeed higher than he had imagined.
It seemed he had truly provoked a formidable existence today.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
"Spare me, I beg you, spare me... we will never dare to do it again, please spare us."
This father and son duo also realized that the youth sitting in the main seat was by no means a simple individual!
Originally, it was just a conflict between two juniors. Because Kong Mu'en's family background was involved, the situation gradually escalated.
After they arrived, they subdued the other party and waited for a Kong family elder to resolve the matter. However, Kong Ming, relying on his powerful family background, twisted the facts and even prepared to forcefully take the person away without regard for right or wrong.
But they didn't know that in today's situation, it was impossible to take anyone away. Not only couldn't the person be taken, but not even a chopstick could be moved!
"Even I wouldn't dare to be this arrogant. What kind of courage did you swallow, the heart of a bear or the gall of a leopard?"
Yan Wuji delivered another kick, sending Kong Ming sprawling on the ground.
Hiss!
Kong Mu'en looked at his father lying in a sorry state on the ground, his fear intensifying as he trembled.
In a short period, Kong Ming, who was still high-spirited moments ago, now resembled a lowly, begging dog, kneeling before them and pleading for forgiveness.
"Do you even know whose forces are across the Jinling River? How dare you bark here!"
Yan Wuji snorted coldly.
Ye Longlin had picked up his chopsticks and was eating leisurely, seemingly indifferent to everything happening in front of him, or perhaps unaffected by it all.
"Eat."
Ye Longlin said slowly, placing a piece of braised pork into Mu Hanqi's bowl and stroking her head. "Why do you like watching the show so much?"
Mu Hanqi pouted. "Isn't watching a show normal? Everyone likes watching a show, except for someone like you..."
Seeing this, Kong Ming suddenly thought of something!
A few days ago, the Murong family issued a statement saying that the Princess had a fiancé. Given how close the person in front of him was to Murong Yuhan, didn't this also mean that this was the rumored fiancé?
Moreover, on the night when the Murong family clashed with the Hongmen, the soldiers across the Jinling River seemed to have also entered the Murong family's territory!
If that was the case, this person must be the commander of that mysterious team?
The thought sent shivers down Kong Ming's spine.
"That's enough."
Ye Longlin glanced up while eating and said, continuing to stay here was rather unappetizing.
Yuan Gang nodded and, in a few swift movements, tossed the two of them out.
As if remembering something, Yuan Gang looked at Yang Erlang and asked, "Although you've retired, your information is still confidential. But now the God of War rankings are being revised, you can try. If you can make it onto the list..."
He didn't finish his sentence, but Yang Erlang understood what Yuan Gang meant.
After all, he was once the Left Wing General of the Dragon Pavilion. His military literacy, skills, and spirit were beyond that of ordinary people, at least far superior to that of an average general.
However, after speaking, both of them looked at Ye Longlin. It would be best to get Ye Longlin's consent for this matter, as his opinion was crucial to them.
"This is your business, don't ask me."
He had already handed over the power to Yuan Gang and was now stepping out of the Dragon Pavilion's sight. Once Yuan Gang could take over the Dragon Pavilion, all matters would be left to Yuan Gang, and he could retire with peace of mind.
At the same time, a black Audi A8 stopped in front of the Murong family's mansion.
After the vehicle stopped, no one got out. It remained there for an hour, and only after the butler appeared to inquire did the vehicle start and leave.
The butler was also bewildered, not knowing the situation with the car, but he didn't think much of it.
"If I were to return here, would they target my daughter?"
Mu Ye's expression was complicated, and he sighed deeply, his eyes filled with an unfathomable complexity.
"After all these years, the events of that year should be put to rest. It's been so long, some things are best left in the past."
The driver spoke.
This driver was also his confidant from back then, and his butler. He had been with him throughout the events of that year, participated in them, and knew how much they had affected the person in the back seat.
This time, he had also mustered the courage to return.
"What happened has happened, and it cannot be undone. She is no longer here either."
Mu Ye looked at the scenery outside the window, lost in thought, only shaking his head and sighing softly.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Mu Hanqi looked at the text message on her phone and then looked up at Ye Longlin, saying, "My dad has come to Jinling."
Ye Longlin's movements paused, and he subconsciously frowned. Mu Ye had come to Jinling, which meant he was returning now.
For the Murong family, this might not be a good thing.
Conversely, the Murong family might experience another period of turmoil.
Furthermore, with so many things happening in Jinling now, Mu Ye's return would undoubtedly stir up considerable trouble within the now-calm Murong family. It was unknown how many people would be implicated.
What's more, concerning the events of the past, apart from those involved, no one knew the inside story. Therefore, they couldn't say much.
"Do you want to meet him?"
Ye Longlin asked, after all, he was his father-in-law.
Mu Hanqi shook her head. "My dad said he has his own matters to attend to and won't be meeting us in the short term. But perhaps, he might ask for your help later."
Ye Longlin nodded and didn't say much more.
No one knew the inside story of the internal strife that occurred in the Murong family in the capital city back then. Those who knew the truth had all died during that conflict. Now, only a few people knew the truth.
With Mu Ye's return, he was surely looking to draw a conclusion to the events of the past!
"Boss, I'll head back to the venue first. Over these past few days, people from the God of War rankings should be arriving. Once we meet them, we'll have to hold a meeting."
Ever since his boss had entrusted these matters to him, there was no need to hide anything from Ye Longlin. In fact, some matters even required his decision.
Ye Longlin nodded and waved him away.
Slowly, everyone in the private room left, leaving only Ye Longlin, Mu Hanqi, and Yan Wuji.
"Why haven't you left yet?"
