Chapter: 3059
Ye Chen laughed coldly: "Old sir, considering your age, you shouldn't be so stubborn. I'm only letting it slide because of your old age, but if you think about relying on your age to get away with things, I won't hesitate!"
Mackee's expression turned uneasy, but he maintained a strong tone: "You're being very unreasonable! I have no feud with you. Whoever I met and what we talked about has nothing to do with you!"
Ye Chen grew impatient and said: "Don't keep quibbling with me here. I can clearly tell you that if you don't explain Xuan Feng's affairs and give me a clear account of his actions, then don't expect me to show respect for your age or youth!"
Mackee let out a sniff: "You're not some law enforcement agency, old master won't tell you anything."
"You won't tell me?" Ye Chen gave a cold snort and spoke sternly: "Since you saw him yesterday, you know that his life-cursed insect needs human brains to feed on. If you don't catch him today, he might kill even more innocent people. If you don't speak out about the specifics, it's condoning and shielding! Every person Xuan Feng will go on to kill, you'll bear an irrevocable responsibility!"
"Mirthless!" Mackee said proudly: "Throughout my life, I've stood upright and walked straight. I've never done anything that harms heaven or earth. You can't pin someone else's troubles on me! Even if it's in front of the entire world's police force, I'll be completely innocent!"
Ye Chen looked down his nose at Mackee: "I know what kind of old person you are thinking. People like you always say 'each person sweeps their own doorstep and doesn't worry about someone else's roof' – you think that just because someone is killed, it has nothing to do with you? I'm telling you, in someone else's place, perhaps your kind of thought can deceive people into getting away with murder, but here, you're just as hateful to me!"
As he spoke, Ye Chen's voice grew colder: "I'll make a deal with you today. If Xuan Feng kills one more person in Jinling, I won't bury you and your ancestors together in the Phoenix Mountain Public Cemetery – because I'll let you die so easily, it would be too lenient for you. By that time, I'll put you and your ancestors into kennels and make you live like dogs!"
Ye Chen's face was devoid of any pretension as he spoke these words, his piercing eyes sent shivers down Mackee's spine! Although Mackee didn't know Ye Chen's secrets, he had no doubt about Ye Chen's words.
In a state of tension, Mackee couldn't help but explain: "I don't know where Xuan Feng is now. This person is unpredictable and goes wherever they please. Yesterday, I went to Phoenix Mountain because he contacted me."
Ye Chen spoke in a cold tone: "So you must have his contact method – go ahead and find a way to bring him out for me."
Mackee hesitated: "This has nothing to do with us. We don't want to get involved. If you have some grudge against him, that's between the two of you – please don't drag us into it, or we'll leave China tonight and never have anything to do with China again!"
Because Mackee had seen Xuan Feng's abilities, he didn't want to be his enemy.
If I were to help this young person find out where Xuan Feng is and the young person turns out not to be Xuan Feng's match, by that time, the young person would die, and I wouldn't have a good outcome either.
He had always stuck to his principle that he wouldn't meddle in others' affairs unless it affected him personally. So, he didn't want to get involved in the feud between Ye Chen and Xuan Feng either.
Ye Chen sneered at him with a tone that left no room for argument: "It's only natural that when China suffered hardships in the past, you guys who know about feng shui would run away as one. That's what I mean by 'not my business' – just like you, those good-for-nothing people, don't care about national morality or good character! What's the point of all that nonsense to you?"
Mackee was scolded by Ye Chen and although he felt a bit embarrassed, he still stuck to his guns: "As they say, when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. Many people left China back then, each with their own motivations, and it's not about who's right or wrong. And now we have a rule-of-law society where everything should be within the bounds of the law – that's what makes us good citizens!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mackee looked at Ye Chen sternly: "In fact, you're the one who's being unreasonable! If you dare to restrict my personal freedom, then you'll be breaking the law yourself!"
Ye Chen was genuinely taken aback by this old man's stubbornness. He had initially thought him harmless, but today he realized that this guy wasn't just a bad person, but a self-serving, despicable old scoundrel who only cared about his own interests and didn't give a damn about others' lives or death.
So, Ye Chen nodded coldly: "You're scared of meddling in others' affairs, and I'm not. So, you'll fall into my hands – there's no way for you to escape. Let me take you to the dog kennel for a visit first, and after that, come tell me if you want to get involved!"
Mackee was furious, but seeing Ye Chen's resolute expression, he felt a bit intimidated too...
Ye Chen's tone was unyielding, and his threats were unwavering, making Mackee extremely nervous.
He had lived a life of avoiding trouble, with even a slight breeze causing him to flee at the first opportunity. This has been his reality for the past seven or eight decades.
It wasn't until he saw Li Qinghua's opportunity that his heart was stirred. He wouldn't have lived to be over a hundred years old and then gone on an adventure in Huaxia.
But now, seeing himself entangled with Ye Chen's ruthless character, all he could think of was to get out quickly. JrNovels.com
