Full-Level Rich Daughter Makes a Strong Comeback

Chapter 1012: Handle It Privately

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

A few simple words tore off Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu’s fig leaf, leaving them speechless.

But Ye Leng’an wasn’t letting go. She went on, “Also, do you know why Ye Yikun captured me this time?”

Hearing this, Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu’s gaze landed on Ye Leng’an involuntarily.

Ye Leng’an smiled brightly, but her eyes were icy. Her words were frosty too. “He learned some evil arts from an unknown source and wanted to sacrifice someone with blood ties for longer life and greater power. And guess what? He picked me, his supposed granddaughter, who’s never even seen a day in the Ye family. He wants my life, yet you ask me to spare him. Do you think I’m that forgiving?”

Lian Mengzhu tried to speak but couldn’t find the words.

Ye Hongxuan was blindsided by this revelation, but he still pleaded, “Ye Leng’an, it’s your grandfather’s fault this time. But as you can see, he won’t last much longer. It’s not about letting him off, but it’s not worth the fuss.”

“Why can’t I hold a grudge?” Ye Leng’an’s tone grew colder. “He wants me dead, so why shouldn’t I seek revenge? Spare me the righteous talk about repaying evil with good. I’m not that naive.”

Seeing Ye Leng’an’s stubbornness, Ye Hongxuan was at a loss. “I…”

“Master Ye, I think we’re done here.” Ye Leng’an smirked. “And spare me the bloodline talk. I’ve already fought you. You should know how I feel about family ties.”

Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu turned pale, filled with guilt and helplessness as they looked at Ye Leng’an.

Though they never acknowledged Ye Leng’an as their daughter, they never imagined they’d end up on opposite sides. And now, Ye Leng’an had attacked them without hesitation.

Seeing their expressions, Ye Leng’an felt bored. She left with Huangfu Ruiling, her hand in his, smiling. “Ling, let’s go back!”

Huangfu Ruiling’s cold demeanor softened, and he smiled back. “Okay, let’s go.”

But before they walked away, Huangfu Ruiling turned to Ye Hongxuan, his voice cold. “There’s something you might not get, Master Ye. I’m taking Ye Yikun because he’s the evil cultivator we’ve been hunting. He’s harmed countless in both worlds. Such a person must face justice.”

Ye Hongxuan’s face soured at this revelation. Ever since learning about Ye Wanwan’s condition, he suspected his father’s deeds. But he never imagined his father was the evil cultivator everyone sought.

Ignoring him, Huangfu Ruiling left with Ye Leng’an.

As for Li San, he took Ye Yikun away.

With no strength to resist, Ye Yikun let them take him, closing his eyes in despair. He knew he’d lose everything after today.

But as Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an walked away, Ye Hongxuan realized something and hurried after them. “Wait!”

Seeing him, Huangfu Ruiling’s eyes flashed coldly. “Still pleading for Ye Yikun? Better not, unless you want to embarrass yourself.”

Ye Hongxuan’s face reddened in embarrassment. “I-I’m not. I just have a favor to ask.”

Taking a deep breath, he continued, “Can we keep my father’s matter quiet? Let the Enforcement Team handle it privately. Don’t make it public.”

He knew saving his father was futile, but he didn’t want this to tarnish their family’s name. the Ye family was renowned for its alchemy tradition. Even though they were not what they used to be, they still managed to hold onto a spot in the top ten families, all thanks to their good reputation. But if this mess tarnished their name, they might get kicked out of that top tier.

But Ye Leng’an scoffed, “You’re quite the strategist, Master Ye! But you made your bed, now lie in it. How many people in the Hidden World suffered because of those evil arts? And in the mortal world, how many lives were lost? Now the main culprit’s caught, yet you want us to hide the truth. Is that even feasible?”

“Ye Leng’an, going public won’t help anyone,” Ye Hongxuan implored. “And don’t forget, you’re also one of us.”
