Chapter: 3553

So everyone started saying their goodbyes to Ye Chen and Ye Zhongquan, then got on the big bus arranged by Song Wan Ting and Ito Minako and left Ye Ling Mountain, heading to Yanjing's White Gold Han Hotel.

After the big bus left, the only ones remaining at the scene were the soldiers kneeling in front of the Wanlong Hall, Su Jia's father-son duo, and the rest were all members of the Ye family and servant Tang Si Hai.

The leader of the soldiers, Wan Ba Jun, led nearly a hundred people to form a pyramid-like arrangement, with each person kneeling and bowing their head to the ground.

These people were all martial arts practitioners, so each one maintained the same angle and posture while kneeling. They looked perfectly aligned.

Moreover, they were all kneeling in a state of utmost reverence. Especially the leader Wan Ba Jun, even his expression hidden beneath his arm was filled with shame.

As for Su Jia's father-son duo, although they dared not be slack, their physical strength couldn't support them anymore after kneeling for a while, so they could only let their upper bodies lie on the ground.

Their kneeling posture thus resembled that of Song Jiang in the classic TV series "Water Margin".

While the Ye family people were worried and anxious, looking at Ye Chen, afraid that he would take this opportunity to settle accounts with them.

Ye Chen watched as the big truck team went down the mountain, slowly turning around, his gaze like a torch fixed on the Ye family members. He coldly said, "Today, I'm taking over the Ye family's affairs and responsibilities in front of the ancestors' spirits, and my first priority is to properly supplement calcium for the Ye family descendants!"

The people with weak hearts heard Ye Chen's words and involuntarily shivered. They knew that he was about to start settling scores.

At this moment, just after Ye Chen had taken away the grand authority from the old master of the Ye family, the old man opened his mouth in righteous indignation and said, "Chen! The current situation of the Ye family is indeed chaotic, and we must thoroughly rectify it! Don't be lenient on account of personal feelings!"

Ye Chen nodded coldly and said, "That's only natural. Some descendants of the Ye family are willing to sacrifice their dignity and interests for temporary gain, even going so far as to prepare mourning clothes for non-relatives to ask for forgiveness. What's the difference between them and traitors who betrayed their country during times of national crisis?"

All the Ye family members holding mourning clothes were tense with trembling legs.

Ye Longmin, who was most afraid of Ye Chen, suddenly knelt on the ground, sobbing and sniveling, "Chen... aunt is wrong... aunt owes an apology to the ancestors' spirits... as the head of the Ye family, you can punish me however you like, but I won't grumble. Please take pity on my first mistake and be lenient in your punishment. From now on, I'll definitely learn from my mistakes..."

Ye Long'an and others instantly looked stunned.

They were still trying to figure things out when Ye Longmin's fiery personality suddenly revealed her true intentions - she was actually hoping to get a head start by taking the blame and earning some leniency!

Ye Long'an's anger was burning inside, her heart seething with resentment: "What kind of brain does Ye Longmin have?! Even the wall grass didn't react that fast!"

Ye Longmin is indeed very intelligent.

She knows that when so many people are accused of the same crime, whoever confesses first will get a head start.

Moreover, she has a deeper understanding of Ye Chen's exploits and more firsthand experiences than others.

She had previously heard about Ye Chen's methods when he was involved in a few high-profile cases.

At that time, he had Hong Wu inscribe characters on people's foreheads. Whoever confessed first would have the least number of characters, with each subsequent person adding another character.

In the end, the last person reportedly had their forehead filled to capacity and still didn't have enough.

With these precedents in mind, how can Ye Longmin allow someone else to kneel before her?

Moreover, she didn't expect Ye Chen to kneel down so quickly, and thus began speaking: "You are my aunt, with a thousand mistakes and a million wrongs, you are still my elder. Although I am now the head of the Ye family, the distinction between seniors and juniors cannot be disregarded. So don't kneel before me; if you do kneel, it's to pay homage to our ancestors and predecessors!" JrNovels.com
