Chapter 1625: The Secret of the Zheng Family Ancestor

"I was wrong, it was my fault. Isn't it enough if I kneel for you?"

Although Ye Bufan had a faint smile on his face, Zheng Changxu could clearly feel the killing intent erupting from him. He had no doubt that this Young man would kill him.

He fell to his knees with a thud. "Mr. Ye, please, I'll do anything as long as you spare me.

I own five companies, twenty properties, and hundreds of millions in assets. If you agree to let me go, I can give you all of it!"

"I gave you a chance, but unfortunately, you didn't cherish it. I said that if you came looking for trouble again, I would wipe out your Zheng Family along with you. Now it's time to make good on that promise."

After Ye Bufan finished speaking, he extended his right hand and pressed it on top of his head, directly using the Soul Searching Technique.

Zheng Changxu's retaliation this time was clearly not a personal act; it represented the entire Zheng Family.

Thus, he would no longer be polite. Since they were confirmed enemies, he had to eliminate this hidden danger before moving against the Park Family.

As the saying goes, 'know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated.' To destroy the Zheng Family, he needed to gather as much information about the opponent as possible.

Soon, the Soul Searching was complete. Zheng Changxu completely turned into an idiot, collapsing to the ground, and Ye Bufan's expression became incredibly somber.

It turned out that through the recent Soul Searching, he had obtained a lot of information, some expected, some beyond expectation.

This Zheng Changxu was actually Hua Ruyu's fiancé, and the Family Hua Manlou mentioned for a marriage alliance was indeed the Zheng Family.

If it were just that, it would be fine, but the crucial point was that Zheng Changxu wasn't truly going to marry Hua Ruyu; she was a Cauldron chosen for him by his great-grandfather.

It turned out that the reason this Zheng Family Old Ancestor's Cultivation was so powerful was due to a sinister Cultivation Technique he obtained decades ago, which allowed him to enhance his Cultivation by absorbing Yin Qi.

It was a pity that what he obtained was an Incomplete Manual. Although his current Cultivation was strong, his Lifespan had not increased at all. Now that his Lifespan was nearing its end, he could only continue to live through Possession.

It was ridiculous that Hua Manlou thought he had found a wealthy and powerful Family for his daughter, a reliable support, but it turned out to be a huge pit of fire.

Ye Bufan shook his head slightly. Regardless, that girl Hua Ruyu was not bad. For the sake of being fellow Chinese, he would step in and save her once.

"Ye Dage, what are you doing?"

It was only now that Li Zhixuan recovered from her shock. Everything that had just happened had too great an impact on her.

She had never imagined that someone could control lightning, or that someone could so casually deal with the Zheng Family's Netherworld Guards.

"It's nothing, you go back and rest first. I'm going out for a bit."

Ye Bufan let Li Zhixuan into the door, then swept the twenty particle guns on the ground into his Storage Ring. These were good things.

He had a hunch that if the Netherworld Guards had opened fire just now, it might indeed have posed a great threat to him.

Having done all that, he grabbed Zheng Changxu and walked out the door.

According to the results of the recent Soul Searching, the Zheng Family was already preparing to act against Hua Ruyu. He had to rush over as quickly as possible; if he was a step late, it might be too late.

Inside the Hancheng Hotel, Hua Manlou said to Hua Ruyu, "Girl, the Zheng Family has arranged a hotel tonight to host a welcoming dinner for us, father and daughter. Get ready, we'll leave soon."

"I'm not going."

Hua Ruyu said angrily.

"You girl, at a time like this, can't you stop acting like a child?"

Hua Manlou had no choice with his daughter and could only patiently persuade her, "They have already made preparations and sent an invitation. If we don't go, it will be disrespectful."

Hua Ruyu still pouted and said, "I don't care. Let it be disrespectful. I don't know them anyway."

"You girl, why are you so insensible? Dad has already said that setting up this marriage is all for your own good. I can take care of you for a while, but not forever. The Zheng Family is your lifelong reliance."

Hua Ruyu shouted, "I don't need it! I'm living perfectly fine on my own. Why do I need to rely on others?"

Hua Manlou tried to persuade her for a long time, but it still had no effect. Finally, his face darkened: "I'll ask you one more time, are you going or not?"

Hua Ruyu also became stubborn: "No, I'm just not going. If you have the guts, kill me!"

"Not going, huh? Alright then, I'll go kill that boy right now."

Hua Manlou finished speaking and made to walk out the door.

"Dad, what are you doing? Stop right now! Isn't it enough if I go?"

Hua Ruyu immediately became anxious. In her opinion, her father was not comparable to Old Zhang; he was the top master in Jiangzhe. No matter what, Young Master Fan was no match.

In desperation, she could only grab her bag and walk out the door, pouting.

Half an hour later, the father and daughter arrived in front of the Zheng Family's estate.

As one of the four great Families in Bangbang Country, the Zheng Family's estate was extremely vast, with pavilions and towers stretching as far as the eye could see.

The main gate was also built with great style, and over a dozen bodyguards stood tall in front of it.

Hua Manlou got out of the car, feeling a surge of emotion. Although they had a foundation in Jiangzhe,

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

their foundation was still far inferior compared to the Zheng Family before them.

"Girl, do you see it? This is the prestige of a first-class Family in Bangbang Country. How could a father let you suffer?"

Hua Ruyu, however, pouted: "What's so good about this? I don't care. Even if I live in a palace, I wouldn't be happy with someone I don't like.

With someone I like, I'd be happy even begging for food!"

"You girl, you'll understand in the future."

Hua Manlou shook his head again. Some time ago, the Zheng Family came to propose marriage and showed considerable sincerity.

He comprehensively considered the other party's conditions and felt that it would be beneficial to his daughter and Family without any harm, so he agreed. He didn't expect the girl to be so resistant.

Just as the father and daughter were talking, the main gate opened, and dozens of people came out to greet them. The middle-aged man leading them had a beaming smile; he was Zheng Zhongguo, the Zheng Family Patriarch and Zheng Changxu's father.

"Mr. Hua, you've arrived. Please come in quickly."

After some pleasantries, led by Zheng Zhongguo, the group entered the estate and finally arrived in front of a detached villa.

Upon reaching here, the others dispersed, leaving only Zheng Zhongguo to lead the father and daughter into the main hall.

As soon as he entered, Hua Manlou noticed something unusual. The temperature seemed much lower than outside, and a chilling aura permeated the entire room.

The entire hall was decorated in an antique floral style, and the furniture was made of rosewood, giving it a classic and elegant look.

In the center, on a grand armchair, sat a thin old man wearing a black robe. He had a faint smile, but for some reason, he always gave off an extremely cold feeling.

Hua Manlou even guessed that the chilling aura in the room emanated from the old man himself.

Zheng Zhongguo respectfully said, "Father, I've brought Mr. Hua."

The old man was precisely the Zheng Family Old Ancestor, Zheng Shixun. He waved his hand and said in a dry voice, "Alright, you may leave."

"Yes!"

Zheng Zhongguo replied and turned to walk out of the room.

At this moment, his attitude was completely different from before, a 180-degree turn. He didn't even look at Hua Manlou and his daughter again before leaving.

Hua Manlou frowned, subtly sensing something amiss, yet he couldn't pinpoint what the problem was.

At this moment, Zheng Shixun's gaze remained fixed on Hua Ruyu, a satisfied smile on his face, as he nodded and said, "Not bad, truly not bad!"
