Bang!
Someone burst into the stairwell, taking down Feng's bodyguards.
"Ah! This..."
Before the bodyguards holding Nangong Shanshan could react in surprise, Ye Lingyun kicked over the bodyguard holding a dagger.
Seeing this, the bodyguards' faces changed drastically.
"Young Master Lingyun, we are just following Miss Ye Die's orders. Please do not interfere."
Ye Lingyun shook his head, feeling pity for these men.
"So what if Ye Die ordered it? If the Nangong family pursues this, even Master Feng will show some respect."
"Later, if Ye Die claims it was just a moment of anger and throws you under the bus, you'll become scapegoats and won't have a good ending."
"Ah! This..."
The bodyguards exchanged glances and released Nangong Shanshan.
At this moment, a cut had already appeared on Nangong Shanshan's face.
The bodyguards trembled, looking at Ye Lingyun with pleading eyes.
"Young Master Lingyun, please save us. We were just following orders."
Nangong Shanshan, covering the wound on her face, said venomously, "As long as I'm alive, none of you will have an easy time settling this debt!"
Hearing this, the bodyguards became even more frightened.
They wouldn't dare to kill Nangong Shanshan to silence her. With the Nangong family's influence, they would surely be caught.
"Young Master Lingyun, please save us, we were just following orders... Please save us..."
"You, and that slut Ye Die, none of you will get away with this!"
"I will absolutely not let you go!!!"
Nangong Shanshan's hysterical cries echoed through the stairwell.
"They were just following Ye Die's orders, Miss Nangong. Why are you making things difficult for them? However, to give you an explanation, Ye Die will definitely sacrifice these bodyguards. The young lady has always acted this way."
Under Ye Lingyun's analysis, the bodyguards fell into deeper despair.
Nangong Shanshan also realized the unfortunate truth: Ye Fengxing would not do anything to Ye Die because of her.
Her face had been cut in vain.
Seeing the expressions on the bodyguards' and Nangong Shanshan's faces, Ye Lingyun continued, "Miss Nangong, let me take you to treat your wound. My family's hospital has a skilled plastic surgeon who can hopefully help you."
Ye Lingyun extended his hand towards Nangong Shanshan.
Nangong Shanshan looked at Ye Lingyun with complex emotions, hesitated for a long time, and then left with him.
Leaving the bewildered bodyguards in a state of panic.
"We're doomed! What if the young lady throws us out as shields?"
"She's always been ruthless. To frame Tang Xiaomin, she even hurt herself, let alone us."
"What should we do?"
...
At a plastic surgery hospital, Nangong Bo, having learned about Nangong Shanshan's ordeal, was furious.
"This is too much! The Ye family is truly going too far! They don't treat people as humans at all! They're all scoundrels!"
Nangong Bo had wanted Nangong Shanshan to marry Ye Fengxing to solidify the relationship between the two families.
For this marriage, they had been humble and forbearing, only to be met with Ye Fengxing's disregard.
Now, even Ye Die dared to bully and hurt Nangong Shanshan so casually.
It would have been one thing if Nangong Shanshan had made a mistake, but now Ye Die, who had tried to frame Tang Xiaomin and failed, had lost her temper and taken it out on Nangong Shanshan, treating her as she pleased.
Nangong Bo was filled with rage, completely overlooking Ye Lingyun.
"Cough, cough..."
Ye Lingyun coughed twice.
"Mr. Nangong, I understand your feelings. This is entirely Ye Die's fault, and it has nothing to do with other members of the Ye family."
Nangong Bo realized he had spoken out of line, but he didn't show much apology.
"If Ye Die had half the humility and politeness of Young Master Yun, Shanshan wouldn't have been injured."
"Thank you, Young Master Yun, for Shanshan's matter. Otherwise, who knows what else Ye Die would have tormented her with."
While Nangong Bo was angry, his face also showed heartache and helplessness.
"My father often told me that the Ye Group's current glory owes a great deal to the support of several collateral families of the Ye clan, among whom the Nangong family is the closest. It was precisely because of Mr. Nangong's support back then that Master Feng was able to ascend to the position of chief decision-maker of the Ye Group."
"Master Feng is particularly fond of his sister, Ye Die. To avoid unnecessary conflict, I hope Mr. Nangong can be more understanding."
Endurance, and more endurance!
How could they endure any longer!
Nangong Bo roared, "I have always supported Ye Fengxing, and I have indeed benefited. But that doesn't mean he can arbitrarily oppress my Nangong family and my daughter."
"If Ye Fengxing cannot give me a satisfactory explanation for Shanshan's incident, I will absolutely not let this matter rest!"
Ye Lingyun's few words couldn't completely sway Nangong Bo.
Clearly, Nangong Bo still held a sliver of hope in Ye Fengxing, expecting him to severely punish Ye Die and provide an explanation to Nangong Shanshan.
"It would be best if that could be your wish, Mr. Nangong. I have other matters to attend to, so I will not keep you company any longer."
Turning away, Ye Lingyun's lips curled into a cold smile.
Humans are truly pathetic.
Nangong Bo wouldn't change his allegiance and support him until he had suffered a severe blow.
Conversely, if Ye Fengxing lost Nangong Bo's support, his position as chief decision-maker would be precarious.
This game was crucial.
The Ye Residence.
The first thing Ye Fengxing did upon his return was to check on Ye Die's injuries.
"Big Brother, you're finally back, sob sob..."
Ye Die cried pitifully in front of Ye Fengxing.
She had lost her parents at a young age, and her elder brother had been like a father to her. She depended deeply on Ye Fengxing.
From childhood, she had been pampered and cherished.
Now, covered in wounds, her face disfigured, looking neither human nor ghost, she had already broken down.
Ye Fengxing had heard about Ye Die's situation and was filled with rage, about to severely reprimand her.
But when he saw Ye Die's scarred face, he was first shocked, then heartbroken.
He couldn't utter a single word of责备.
"Xiao Die, your face..."
"It was all Tang Xiaomin's doing! She pinned me against the wall and cut my face, sob sob... How can I face anyone? I don't want to live anymore..."
"Tang Xiaomin... It's Tang Xiaomin again!"
If Ye Fengxing had initially felt affection for Tang Xiaomin, then now, with old and new grudges combined, he hated Tang Xiaomin.
How good had he been to her at first? He had never treated a woman with such care.
He had never imagined that his emotions and marriage would bring such disaster to the Ye family.
Now, the chasm between them was irreconcilable.
"Big Brother, avenge me, kill Tang Xiaomin for me, Big Brother..."
