Chapter 26: Unaware of Death
"Insolence! A mere son-in-law dares to rebel against my Yun family, do you have a death wish?" Yun Long's face darkened, never had he expected that a mere Ye Ling would have the courage to invade their Yun residence alone.
"Ha, the Yun family?" Ye Ling's eyes were ice cold, he glanced around nostalgically and said coldly, "This is the ancestral home of the Ye family. The ancestors of the Ye family are buried in the mountains behind this mansion. You despicable people, what right do you have to claim it as your Yun family's?"
"Ha ha, Ye Ling, have you lost your mind? Your Ye family went bankrupt a long time ago; this land already belongs to my Yun family. The one who should be rolling out is you, the waste!" Yun Long's eyes were filled with mockery, he said with interest, "Oh, and about your family's ancestral graves, I've already planned it out. Isn't the day after tomorrow the anniversary of your parents' death? I'm planning to start construction then, turning it into a new amusement park."
Seeing Ye Ling fall silent, he gloated, "Dancing on top of graves, don't you think that's a great idea?"
Ye Ling's face became extremely grim, he stared at the members of the Yun family and said each word with a cold emphasis, "Not only did you kill my parents, but you also took away the ancestral home of the Ye family, and now you don't even spare our ancestral graves. I, Ye Ling, swear here that I will eliminate every one of your Yun family to avenge the wronged souls of the Ye family."
"Ha ha, wipe out my Yun family?" A hint of mockery flashed across Yun Long's face, he curled his finger and said, "Right now, you're just a son-in-law, your entire fortune isn't even a million, while my Yun family's assets are worth over 20 billion as a top-ranking noble family. You think you can compete with us? You are as absurd as an ant shaking a tree, utterly foolish!"
"Ha ha, Brother Yun Long, don't beat him down anymore. Look at his outfit, it probably doesn't even sum up to a thousand, such a poor wretch, simply standing here brings bad luck. Hurry and have someone send him away, don't let him delay our grand event!" The people of the Yun family sneered, looking at him as if he were a beggar, their eyes filled with disdain.
The crowd, hearing this, also secretly laughed, "Ha ha, the Ye family is truly disgraceful. Once one of the four great wealthy families, now reduced to ruin and destruction; their only survivor has gone to be a pathetic son-in-law, bringing shame to his grandmother's house!"
The piercing sound of their laughter, like beating a drowning dog, filled Yun Long with a sense of thrill. He raised his hand high, called over two security guards, and ordered, "This man is just a beggar; he doesn't even have an invitation. Hurry up and throw him out!"
"Yes, Master Yun!" The two bowed their heads, then turned with cold faces towards Ye Ling, "Boy, won't you leave on your own, or do we need to beat you to a pulp?"
"Ha!" Ye Ling's eyes mocked, he glanced at Yun Long and said coldly, "Who told you I don't have an invitation to this place?"
"Ha, what nonsense are you speaking? This banquet is for the societal elites, you're just a son-in-law, where do you get the qualifications to attend?" Yun Long's eyes grew even more disdainful, he waved his hand to signal the security to drag Ye Ling away.
However, Ye Ling suddenly pulled out an invitation card, waved it in front of him like he was looking at an idiot, and scoffed, "Isn't this the invitation card your people sent out, can't you recognize the characters?"
"No, impossible, how could my Yun family possibly send an invitation to you, and a gold one at that?" Yun Long's face turned pale, immediately shaking his head vigorously.
A golden invitation card, there was only one, specially meant for the distinguished guest Liu Wenxiong. Someone of Ye Ling's insubstantial status, how could he possibly know someone like the major figure Liu Wenxiong.
"Hmph, this invitation card was given to me by Liu Wenxiong. If you don't believe me, you can ask him yourself!" Ye Ling sneered, ignoring Yun Long's stunned expression, and moved forward to announce loudly, "I've come here to declare, this Yun Summit Building is an illegal construction, it must be demolished immediately!"
"Ye Ling, have you gone mad, do you know what you're saying? This building is a landmark with an investment of over two billion, even government officials have stakes in it. You think you can declare its demolition just like that, do you think you are the emperor?" Yun Long shouted, his eyes flashing with cold fury.
"Daring to talk about demolishing the building at the completion banquet of Yun Summit Tower, this guy really has no idea what death is!"
"Haha, has this guy gone mad? Right from the entrance, he spouts all sorts of crazy talk about demolishing the skyscraper. Unless it's an order directly from the commander, who would dare to oppose the Yun family?" The crowd sneered, shaking their heads secretly as if looking at a fool.
Yet Ye Ling remained calm. He pulled out a document and threw it on the table, speaking loudly, "This is the demolition notice, personally signed by Liu Wenxiong."
As the document landed on the table, a row of large red letters caught everyone's eye. Yun Long's face gradually turned pale as he cried out, "No, it's not possible. Why would the commander sign this document? Does he really want to go against our Yun family?"
Everyone recognized the commander's handwritten signature.
They widened their eyes in disbelief, their faces showing expressions of incredulity.
This Ye Ling, what kind of background does he have, to make the commander take his side, even at the risk of offending such a powerful family like the Yun's!
As the crowd showed their shock, Ye Ling waved his hand and took out another document, smiling at Yun Long, "This is a takeover contract. The bank has already transferred your Yun family's loans into a mortgage. If your Yun Corporation goes bankrupt, then all of the Yun family's properties will belong to me."
A hint of fear appeared on Yun Long's face, and then he scornfully said, "My Yun Corporation has a market value of over twenty billion, and there is also three billion in cash on the books. You think you can bankrupt Yun Corporation? You're dreaming!"
"Indeed, has Ye Ling got water in his brain, thinking he can bankrupt Yun Corporation? Even our richest man, Li Qingyun, couldn't do that. Who does he think he is?" The people shook their heads, showing puzzled looks.
Yet Ye Ling remained unfazed. He seemed to be waiting for something, his gaze fixed on the main door.
"It's useless, you could wait till death and still not hear news of my Yun family's bankruptcy. You think my Yun family is like you? We are strategic partners with the richest man, Li Qingyun, and the bank is a shareholder of the group. Even if the top ten billionaires joined forces, they couldn't bankrupt my Yun House!"
Yun Long scoffed disdainfully, then beckoned to the security guards, "Beat him into a cripple and throw him out. Even if he knows the commander, the Yun family won't show any mercy."
"Yes, young master!" Two security guards stood up, showing off their fists as big as pots, and swung towards Ye Ling's head.
Just as their fists were about to connect with Ye Ling's forehead, several figures burst through the doorway.
These individuals had an imposing appearance; merely standing there, their powerful aura made it difficult to breathe.
