A master of both medicine and martial arts, he picked up a beautiful CEO as his wife.

There's a clinic in the east of the city, hidden deep in an old alley. It doesn't have a big storefront, and the signboard is dilapidated. You wouldn't even notice it if you weren't paying attention.

Ye Feng put his hands in his pockets and strolled in.

The alleyway was filled with a damp, musty smell mixed with a faint disinfectant odor. These clinics, hidden in nooks and crannies, are basically small clinics operating in a gray area, specializing in doing things that can't be brought into the open, such as hiding people who can't stand the sun.

The examination room was deserted, with only a sleeping nurse. Upon waking, the nurse quickly called out, "Hey! What's up? There are wards in the back..."

Ye Feng turned to look at her, his gaze calm yet carrying a penetrating power that startled the nurse. "It's...you..."

Even after all this time, he would never forget that face, that one man who single-handedly killed seven or eight burly men wielding machetes in an instant, before they could even raise a knife.

That's a shadow etched into my heart.

"Okay, remembering me will make things easier." Ye Feng grinned, walked past her, and pushed open the door to a room.

On the two beds in the inner room, two people lay with their faces wrapped in thick bandages. They were the leader of the black-clad gang and his men, the ones Ye Feng had broken when he chased Lin Yuqing that night.

Upon seeing him appear at the door, the leader's eyes narrowed instantly, turning completely bloodless. "It's you! It's me! It's me!"

Even after many days, he could not forget what this person looked like, because he saw this person kill seven or eight of them with knives with his bare hands, and so quickly, without them even swinging a knife.

That's an indelible shadow in my heart.

"Not bad, you have a good memory." Ye Feng stretched out his hand, turned around and closed the door, sat down on the edge of the bed, as leisurely as a good friend visiting a patient. "Don't be surprised, I'm not here to settle scores with you today."

The leader was deathly pale and clenched his teeth tightly.

"Don't worry, I'm not here to kill you today." Ye Feng leaned forward slightly, his voice becoming very low, almost frighteningly so. "I have something to ask you. Just tell me the truth, and I'll spare your life if you do. Otherwise, I can't help you."

"Pah! I don't know anything! Do whatever you want with me..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Feng reached out and gently pressed his index and middle fingers on an acupoint on the other person's shoulder.

The leader's body stiffened instantly. The way he had been struggling, shouting, and cursing just moments before was now completely powerless. He collapsed onto the bed, unable to lift even a finger.

Although there was no pain at all, the feeling of complete paralysis was far more terrifying than having a needle pierce through your bones.

"Don't be afraid, I didn't hurt you!"

Ye Feng withdrew his hand. "Oh, I'm a doctor, I don't lay a hand on women. I just wanted to have a proper talk with you."

He crouched down, looked at the leader's wide-open eyes filled with horror, and said, word by word.

"You think that getting you out of the police station and sending you to this Li family clinic to recover is a rescue?"

His eyes widened suddenly.

"Idiot," Ye Feng sneered. "The Li family would rather use such a deadly poison as the Seven Star Begonia to kill someone than let someone like you, who sees through all of this, go free. They brought you away from the authorities not to make your life more comfortable, but because they were worried you wouldn't stay in the police station and would betray your Third Master. In other words, your life was already sentenced to death the moment you were pulled out. When you recover and can move again, that will be the day you 'relapse and die.' Once you go into this clinic, you won't get out."

"You...you bastard." His voice was already trembling.

Ye Feng's words were half speculation and half fact, but every word hit his deepest fear. Having been a lackey of the Li family for so long, he knew exactly what the word "silence" meant.

"I..." His lips trembled, and after struggling for a long time, his remaining loyalty to the Li family was no match for the terror of death. "You...you really can let me walk out alive?"

"I keep my word." He sat up straight. "Tell me everything you know, and I'll figure out the rest."

He was in despair for several minutes before finally breaking down completely, his shoulders slumping.

"Who ordered you to kill Lin Yuqing that night?" Ye Feng asked calmly.

"It's...it's the Li family!" He dared not hide anything any longer. "It's Li Tianhao, the third master of the Li family. He gave us a lot of money and a lot of things, and told us...to make it look like an 'accidental car accident' so that no one could survive!"

"Why did you kill her?"

"I...I don't know, I don't know!" he cried. "We're just doing our jobs for money! The higher-ups said the woman had to die for the Li family to be incredibly beneficial...how could a thug like me know the specifics!"

Ye Feng pondered the words "immense benefits," his gaze gradually turning cold. "So, are these immense benefits only calculated after Lin Yuqing dies, or... or have they been calculated since long ago?"

He paused for a moment, then said, "Wh...what do you mean, a long time ago?"

"For example..." His voice was so soft it was almost like a snowflake falling to the ground, but every word he spoke sent a chill down the other person's spine, "More than ten years ago, Lin Yuqing's mother also died in an accident. Same thing, same accident. Does that mean it was also done by your Li family?!"

He trembled slightly, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes: "This...I don't know. I wasn't even a member a decade or so ago! The Li family keeps these things very secret; why would anyone ask?"

This tension, ironically, made the attempt to conceal something all the more obvious. Ye Feng stared into his eyes for a while to make sure that the second half of the story wasn't a lie.

Li Tianhao.

Third Master Li.

He remembered that name.

From the very beginning, he came with the intention of killing Ye Feng, with that poisoned hidden weapon and that 'accidental' order.

The death of his mother, and the continuous murders committed by him over the past ten years, are all entangled with the name "Li Family".

"Haha, very good," Ye Feng stood up, looking up at the pig's head lying on the bed, and said.

"You...you're making it sound so nice, but give me a way out!" The leader trembled all over.

"I keep my word," Ye Feng said as he walked out the door. "After I've dealt with you, Third Master, my men will naturally pull you out of your coffin. Until then—" He paused, not turning back, "stay here obediently and don't let your Li family find out you've been lying. Otherwise, not even a god can save you!"

After saying that, the door closed, and the leader and the second uncle completely collapsed.

Would Ye Feng care about their lives? Certainly not. Their hands are stained with Lin Yuqing's blood. However, they are the best key to open the dark door of the Li family, so as long as they have a breath left, the thread will not break.

Once out of that cold, damp street and into the sunlight again, Ye Feng squinted.

"Li Tianhao..." Ye Feng muttered to himself, his eyes turning cold. A person who could wipe out an entire family without leaving any room for mercy must either have an irreconcilable feud with the Lin family, or he must possess something that could be used to take the Lin family's heads.

To uncover this "huge benefit," he needed to find an opportunity to meet the Third Master, who was hiding in the shadows, and present him with a gift!

The death of Lin Yuqing's mother, the 15% stock stake, the Zhao family's probing actions, and Li Tianhao's ruthless pursuit of the Lin family—these seemingly unrelated events are all connected by an unknown thread.

Ye Feng was unaware that he had touched the first node in the Li family's network, while Li Tianhao was also brewing his own wicked scheme.

Use official power to expel Ye Feng from the Lin family!
