The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 636: Chapter 637 Shen Lei’s Death

Ji Hong’s face was full of unwillingness, but when facing Ye Chenwen, she was helpless; all her hopes now could only be pinned on Su Changfeng.

”Canghai will definitely make you pay for this.” Ji Hong’s face was full of anger.

”With someone as useless as Su Changfeng, you still want to fight me? I’ve never considered that waste from the beginning to the end.”

After Ye Chenwen left, Ji Hong looked at the chaotic ancestral hall, tears streaming down her face. What she must do every day, coming to the ancestral hall in the morning and evening to light incense, was her sole solace in the Ye Family. For this reason, Ji Hong wouldn’t leave easily, but she never expected Ye Chenwen to destroy the ancestral hall.

Not a single memorial tablet was intact.

Even though the tablets could be remade, the humiliation Ye Chenwen brought to the Ye Family couldn’t be erased by anything.

Ye Tian’s memorial tablet had been broken in two; Ji Hong carefully picked it up and placed it at her chest. He was the love of her life, and though he was gone, Ji Hong’s loyalty to Ye Tian hadn’t diminished one bit.

Ji Hong never considered remarrying, even though she still had the means, even though there were still those who pursued her. Yet, she had no plans to leave the Ye Family.

In Ji Hong’s eyes, the Ye Family is what drives her to live in this world. She must watch the Ye Family return to its former glory to be content.

”Canghai, for today’s humiliation, I hope you will make those people in the M Country Ye Family pay twice over!” Ji Hong said resentfully. The person previously abandoned by the Ye Family now bears the burden of reviving it.

Shangguan Feihong would never have imagined that all hopes of the Ye Family rested on the person she least expected, Su Changfeng.

After leaving the Ye Family, Ye Chenwen asked his bodyguard, ”Have you identified the person who contacted me before?”

”I found out. The person’s name is Shen Lei, and he’s doing all this to eliminate Su Changfeng for Ye Weijun,” the bodyguard replied.

Ye Chenwen sneered, ”He dares to use me to remove Su Changfeng; he sure has courage. Let’s go meet him.”

Shen Lei often visited Ye Weijun, informing him about the situation in Jiang City and Su Changfeng’s troubles—something Shen Lei and Ye Weijun were particularly eager to see. They even hoped for Su Changfeng to be killed sooner, for only then could Ye Weijun regain control of the Ye Family upon his release.

To Shen Lei, his plan was especially perfect, but he never expected Ye Chenwen would personally come to the homeland.

When Ye Chenwen appeared before Shen Lei, that fellow who was so arrogant in front of Su Changfeng turned pale with fright.

Despite having considerable influence in Beijing, Shen Lei knew his level and understood the significant gap between him and Ye Chenwen, hence his extreme caution when facing Ye Chenwen.

”Are you Shen Lei?” Ye Chenwen asked.

Shen Lei nodded, saying, ”Yes, I am.”

”Previously, you contacted me to use me to remove Su Changfeng, right? You sure have a lot of guts, daring to use even me.” Ye Chenwen’s face was cold.

Frightened, Shen Lei shivered and quickly said, ”I just didn’t want Su Changfeng to ruin the Ye Family’s reputation. I think you wouldn’t want to lose face because of that guy either, right?”

”Your excuse is reasonable, but I’m not satisfied with it. I also don’t like being used as a tool,” Ye Chenwen said.

Shen Lei’s scalp tingled. Although his own strength was not bad, he could see that Ye Chenwen’s bodyguards far surpassed him. He was no match for them.

If Ye Chenwen intended to deal with him this time, his end would be death.

”Yes, I did originally plan to use you to eliminate Su Changfeng, but from another perspective, I was also helping you protect the Ye Family’s reputation, right?” Shen Lei said, pretending strength.

”If you wanted to protect my Ye Family’s reputation, then Ye Weijun should be the first person you want to eliminate, right?” Ye Chenwen sneered.

Shen Lei appeared to be in deep thought, realizing Ye Chenwen might have already discerned his real motive for targeting Su Changfeng. Now that his intent was known, there was no need to hide it anymore.

”Ye Weijun is especially savvy; he willingly became a dog for the M Country Ye Family. You could use Ye Weijun to build your own power in this country,” Shen Lei proposed.

Ye Chenwen laughed; if he wanted a force in this country, he could have it with just a thought. Why use trash like Ye Weijun?

”Shen Lei, you really value Ye Weijun, but do you think he deserves to be my dog?” Ye Chenwen joked.

Cold sweat instantly broke out on Shen Lei’s forehead. Ye Chenwen was here for more than just a chat.

”What... what do you want to do?” Shen Lei asked.

”For those who use me as a tool, there’s only one end,” Ye Chenwen said, turning and leaving.

Ye Chenwen’s bodyguard suddenly struck, gripping Shen Lei’s throat tightly.

Shen Lei’s face turned bright red; his feet struggled in the air until they kicked, and then he was completely still.

The bodyguard smiled slightly; killing was as easy as eating or drinking for him. A living life was as insignificant as squashing a bug, not causing him the slightest ripple of emotion.

”Family Head, shall we head to Jiang City now?” the bodyguard asked softly, approaching Ye Chenwen.

Ye Chenwen shook his head, replying, ”Let’s go visit Ye Qingtian’s grave. Before I came to the homeland, my father specifically told me to check on Ye Qingtian’s grave. He said Ye Qingtian wouldn’t die so easily, and I should confirm it.”

The bodyguard frowned; surely Ye Qingtian’s memorial was already in the ancestral hall. How could he possibly still be alive? To the bodyguard, such doubts were baseless.

But since the elder had given instructions, they must be followed.

Though Ye Chenwen was the Family Head, he dared not ignore the elder’s orders.

In a graveyard in Beijing, there were only more people during Qingming Festival and a few special occasions. At other times, the cemetery was attended only by the caretaker. So when Ye Chenwen and his bodyguard appeared, the caretaker was particularly puzzled.

”What are you two here for?” the caretaker asked.

”Where is Ye Qingtian’s grave?” Ye Chenwen asked.

Ye Qingtian was quite a famous figure in Beijing, and his burial had caused quite a stir.
