Gao Wu: I became the minor villain that the protagonist was about to destroy.

Ye Ming turned to look at Li Wuyou, only to see Li Wuyou looking very happy. Ye Ming rolled his eyes.

"I knew it was you! Why didn't you help me when I was hitting you? Didn't you always want to be a high-class master?"

"Even if I gave you a chance, you wouldn't be able to use it."

Li Wuyou immediately retorted, "What are you talking about! What are you talking about! You can already beat them! If I were to intervene, wouldn't that be bullying a child?"

"Ha! Which eye of yours saw me win? If it weren't for Yujiro coming, I'm afraid I would be dead here today."

Then Ye Ming turned to look at Yujiro: "Didn't you go to the secret realm?! Why are you only coming back now?!"

Yujiro said, "Actually, I came back a while ago. I also wanted to see where your current limit is."

"...6"

Ye Ming slowly got up and saw the second young master of the Yun family standing next to Lie like a dead dog.

"Take him back!"

"Yes, Chairman."

Just then, Ye Ming's phone rang: "Baki?"

"Has something happened?"

When Yoru answered the phone, Baki told her everything that had happened.

"..."

"What did you say?! Chu Yu has been kidnapped!"

"Do you know who it is?"

"It's unclear at the moment."

Ye Ming frowned deeply: "Alright, I understand. You can go back now and meet at the Chu Group."

"Things are not good. Chu Yu has been captured by another group of people."

"That person is either from the Yun family or from that other force."

"Yūjirō, you stay here. I'm going to the Chu Group."

Yujiro didn't say anything, but simply lay down on the chair and closed his eyes to rest.

Ye Ming and the others got into the car and sped towards the Chu Group.

A short while later, the vehicle arrived at the Chu Group's secret passage. The front door had been blocked by reporters, making it impossible to enter.

Chu Yuntian saw Ye Ming arrive, which meant that the battle at the True Headquarters had ended.

However, Chu Yuntian's expression showed no joy, but rather extreme anger.

My daughter has been kidnapped.

Ye Ming nodded: "You already know?"

"Yes, my wife told me. Wang Bin has been keeping an eye on that person in secret and said he would let me know as soon as he has any news."

"How are things on your end?"

Then Ye Ming recounted what had happened over there.

Chu Yuntian frowned even more deeply upon hearing this: "There are so many people who want this. The Chen and Lei families—I won't let them get away with this after this matter is over!"

"The only saving grace now is that the Luo family didn't get involved, otherwise we might not have been able to hold on."

Ye Ming looked at the unconscious Yun Yulin: "Perhaps we should ask this second young master of the Yun family a few questions."

Screen turn

At this moment, in the basement of the Chu Group, Yun Yulin's limbs were bound by steel chains.

Chu Yuntian pressed the switch in his hand, and a current flowed directly into Yun Yulin's body through the four golden steel chains.

"Aaaaaah—!!"

Yun Yulin, who was originally unconscious, was instantly awakened by the intense pain after being electrocuted.

"Huff! Huff! Huff!..."

Yun Yulin slowly raised her head, looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, and then at Chu Yuntian inside the room.

"Chu...Chu Yuntian...you dare to arrest me! I advise you to release me! The wrath of the Yun family is not something your Chu and Ye families can withstand!"

Chu Yuntian completely ignored Yun Yulin's threat: "Where is my daughter?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Yulin burst into laughter: "Hahahaha!! So you're saying your daughter has been kidnapped?!"

"You ask me? How would I know? I didn't do it."

"Shouldn't you be suspicious of the other group? They're powerful. Instead of worrying about a useless daughter, you should think about your good brother Ye Ming. He's probably already dead, hahaha!!"

Just then, the door to the room slowly opened, and Ye Ming walked in from outside.

Yun Yulin was stunned to see that Ye Ming was still alive and well.

"You're still alive?!"

"Should I die?"

"Impossible! That guy is a provincial-level expert, how could you still be alive?!"

"Hey, sorry to disappoint you, I'm still alive."

"Also, you're not the second young master of the Yun family, are you?"

Ye Ming's words startled Chu Yuntian: "What do you mean? He's not from the Yun family?"

"Well, based on my previous investigation of him, I had some doubts about his identity. The main reason is that I just showed his photo to Sisi, and Sisi said that she had never seen him in the Yun family before, and the second young master of the Yun family does not look like him."

Chu Yuntian asked doubtfully, "But he was introduced here by Yun Lu, so Yun Lu must know his identity."

Ye Ming looked at Yun Yulin: "Then we'll have to ask him."

"Sisi hates the Yun family to the core; she couldn't possibly be mistaken."

"Who exactly are you?!"

After recovering from her initial shock, Yun Yulin listened to Ye Ming and Chu Yuntian's questions. At first, an absurd expression appeared on her face, but then, as if she had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world, she couldn't help but burst into laughter. However, her laughter was full of mockery and a hint of something unsettling.

"Who am I? Haha... Who am I?!" He laughed so hard he could barely breathe.

"How would I know who I am? What, your Chu and Ye families can't afford to offend the Yun family, so you've come up with this ridiculous plan to give me a fake identity so you can escape the Yun family's revenge?!"

"Absolutely absurd! Utterly laughable!!"

"The Sisi you're talking about, is she that little bitch? How did you manage to survive?"

Ye Ming was surprised that Yun Yulin had directly revealed Sisi's identity.

Then Ye Ming gave Chu Yuntian a look, and the two walked out of the room in tacit understanding. As they left, Ye Ming gave Yun Yulin a serious look.

"What do you think?" Ye Ming spoke first, his tone serious.

Chu Yuntian's expression was somber: "His reaction... showed no flaws."

"His anger and sarcasm seemed genuine, and he even revealed Sisi's identity."

Ye Ming nodded slowly: "That's right. He can directly state Sisi's identity, so this Yun Yulin must also be a member of the Yun family."

Chu Yuntian turned around and looked at the figure with his head down behind the one-way glass, and slowly said, "If neither side is lying... then this matter is not just as simple as kidnapping and robbery."

Ye Ming's eyes also turned deep: "That means there are two more troublesome possibilities. First, someone has meticulously planned to bring a 'stand-in' that even they themselves deeply believe in to the forefront, while the real Yun Yulin may have already been controlled, or even be dead. The other party's ambitions are enormous, and there are probably serious problems within the Yun family as well."
