"This..." Zheng Lingshan listened to Ye Xiao's words and hesitated.

However, Ye Xiao didn't give her too much of a chance, smiling as he looked at her and said, "These past few days, I haven't visited Uncle Zheng, so consider this my compensation to him."

"Actually, it's no big deal," Zheng Lingshan said.

Ye Xiao immediately shook his head and said, "Of course it matters."

Zheng Lingshan looked at Ye Xiao, sighed, and didn't say anything.

"Brother Xiao, I was wrong, please, I beg you, let me go," Feng Yang's wails and pleas blended together.

However, Ye Xiao didn't even glance at him. To him, there was nothing left to say to Feng Yang. He never leaves a source of trouble, letting it come back for revenge years later.

But Zheng Lingshan glanced at Feng Yang a few times and said to Ye Xiao, "Ye Xiao, stop beating him, he didn't do anything to me."

Ye Xiao knew Zheng Lingshan well, an inexperienced girl not particularly able to handle such violence, so he smiled slightly, waved his hand, and said, "That's enough."

Those who had been engrossed in tormenting Feng Yang immediately stopped upon hearing Ye Xiao's words.

Who was Ye Xiao? Fu Donglai's boss, which made him their boss as well. If Fu Donglai was impressive, then, being Fu Donglai's superior, Ye Xiao must be even more formidable, right?

These martial artists, sharp as a tack, how could they not understand this reasoning?

At this moment, Feng Yang was trembling on his knees, feeling truly fortunate that he hadn't done anything inappropriate to Zheng Lingshan. Otherwise, he'd surely be dead now.

Ye Xiao's gaze slowly fell on Feng Yang and he said, "Want me to forgive you? Then you better give me an explanation regarding Zheng Lingshan. You better make me satisfied."

Upon hearing this, Feng Yang hesitated, at a loss for words. He understood Ye Xiao was intentional about this. Why had he captured Zheng Lingshan? It was obvious as a louse on a bald head.

Yet he also understood that telling the truth might lead to an even more miserable outcome.

"I'm sorry, I was momentarily muddled, but I truly meant no harm, please believe me." At this point, Feng Yang could only mutter such words.

"Momentarily muddled?" Ye Xiao chuckled. "Alright then, since you're in such a dilemma, let me ask you, if someone killed your father and brother, what would you do?"

"This..." Feng Yang knew his father and brother's disappearance was certainly related to Ye Xiao, but now he wasn't sure whether they were indeed dead.

"Alright, let me be more direct: I killed them. Would you hate me?" Ye Xiao said, smiling as he looked at Feng Yang.

When Feng Yang heard Ye Xiao's confession, his heart surged with turmoil.

As a son, of course he wanted to avenge his father, but in his current predicament, who could he seek revenge from?

"Brother Xiao dealt with them because they surely committed wrongdoings!" Feng Yang looked at Ye Xiao, flattering him.

Ye Xiao looked at Feng Yang with a calm gaze.

Feng Yang felt immense pressure being stared down by Ye Xiao.

Suddenly, Ye Xiao burst into laughter.

Feng Yang was genuinely stunned by Ye Xiao's laughter.

"Aren't you looking for an opportunity? Alright then, I'll give you one," Ye Xiao said with a smile. "Just see if you cherish it."

"I'll agree to anything Brother Xiao asks," Feng Yang said to Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao said, "It's really quite simple, exchange money for your life."

"Exchange money for my life?" Feng Yang quickly responded, "Brother Xiao, I'm willing to turn over all of the Feng family's assets to you."

"No need to hand it over to me," Ye Xiao said, looking at Fu Donglai. "Donglai, set up a shell company and have Feng Yang help you transfer all of the Feng family's assets into it. Once everything is settled, send him away."

Listening to Ye Xiao, Feng Yang sighed inwardly. The Feng family, once the Feng family yesterday, was now Ye Xiao's today.

Feng Yang didn't even know the extent of the Feng family's assets, but he was aware that even the country's top tycoons would find it hard to acquire.

"Yes, Brother Xiao!" Fu Donglai nodded immediately upon hearing Ye Xiao and then said, "Brother Xiao, we should check Feng Xinming's house to see if there's anything useful."

Ye Xiao didn't respond to Fu Donglai but instead looked at Feng Yang with a smile, "Are you satisfied with my arrangement?"

"Satisfied, absolutely satisfied," Feng Yang quickly said. "Whatever Brother Xiao says, that's what I'll do."

"So what should we do now?" Ye Xiao smiled and looked at Feng Yang.

Feng Yang immediately said, "Brother Xiao, I know my father's room has a hidden compartment. I think all the good stuff must be in there."

Hearing this, Ye Xiao smiled faintly, looked at Feng Yang, and said, "Lead the way then."

Feng Yang promptly stood up from the ground, although his whole body was aching, he immediately gathered True Qi, feeling much less discomfort. Right now, his main concern was not the fate of the Feng family but his own survival. He felt he could do anything as long as he stayed alive.

Meanwhile, what Feng Yang just said made everyone present look down on him. But as long as there was a sliver of hope, Feng Yang wouldn't give up.

Subsequently, Ye Xiao, Fu Donglai, and Feng Yang headed directly to Feng Xinming's residence.

As the head of the Feng family, Feng Xinming's residence might not be luxurious, but it was certainly retro and had many famous calligraphy and paintings. It seemed that Feng Xinming was also a lover of calligraphy and painting.

Feng Yang, however, seemed quite attentive. They soon arrived at the hidden compartment he mentioned, or rather, Ye Xiao and the others were now standing in front of a painting.

Feng Yang took down the painting and placed it aside.

Sure enough, behind it appeared a small safe embedded in the wall, requiring not only a key but also a password.

"It appears that Feng Xinming's treasures should be inside here." Fu Donglai said to Ye Xiao with a smile, completely ignoring the presence of Feng Yang.

Ye Xiao looked at the small safe embedded in the wall and said, "Get a cutting machine."

"Brother Xiao, why not just use inner strength to smash it?" Fu Donglai suggested.

Ye Xiao shook his head and said, "If there really are valuables inside, do you think an inner strength capable of opening the safe would leave them unharmed?"

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Fu Donglai nodded immediately!
