Chapter 122
Ye Fengyun was somewhat surprised. The police had arrived almost immediately after Yun Lanzong’s death. It seemed that Yun Lanzong had foreseen his own demise long ago.
But that made no sense.
Ye Fengyun could not shake the feeling that something was terribly suspicious—as though Yun Lanzong had come here specifically to die, intending to use his own death to send Ye Fengyun to prison.
Amid the Lin family’s bewildered stares, Ye Fengyun got into the police car and was taken to the station.
The news soon spread throughout Yunchuan City. The four great families and the Longhai Group all received word.
As soon as Long San learned that Ye Fengyun had been arrested, he immediately sent people to bail him out.
The Xu, Yun, and Lin families also took part.
The Tang family alone was determined to remain uninvolved.
Tang Dahai declared that Ye Fengyun was no longer a member of the Tang family, and that whether he lived or died had nothing to do with him.
Although Tang Shihan was still angry with Ye Fengyun, she could not stop herself from worrying about him.
“Let’s get him out first. After all, he still has a contract with me. Even if we drive him from the family, we’ll have to wait until the contract is signed.”
Tang Shihan spoke without revealing any emotion, but her heart was far from as calm as she appeared.
Lin Yuzhen nodded as well and urged Tang Dahai, “Family scandals should not be aired in public. Some matters are better handled behind closed doors.”

Tang Dahai snorted. “If you want to go, then go yourselves!”
He went straight back to his room and went to sleep.
Tang Shihan had no choice but to accompany her mother to the police station to bail Ye Fengyun out.
However, when they learned that Ye Fengyun had killed someone, both women wore expressions of utter disbelief.
In the end, Ye Fengyun was released because the housekeeper arrived to testify, clearing him of suspicion.
Outside the police station, members of the various families, the Longhai Group, the Black Tiger Gang, and the Hongyun Gang were all present.
Long San waited anxiously for Ye Fengyun to emerge, while Li Hu and Yun Tonghai stared solemnly at the entrance.
Before long, Ye Fengyun came out with the housekeeper, and everyone hurried forward to greet him.
Tang Shihan was somewhat astonished. Why did all these people care so much about Ye Fengyun? Just who was he?
Lin Qinghuan pushed through the crowd and looked at him with deep concern.
“Are you all right? Were you hurt?”
Ye Fengyun smiled. “The person capable of hurting me hasn’t been born yet.”
Lin Qinghuan let out a sigh of relief, then smacked him and complained, “You scared me half to death!”
Ye Fengyun smiled and swept his gaze over everyone present. Faced with their concern, he felt somewhat irritated.
He disliked trouble, and he disliked even more being surrounded by so many people.

“All right, all right. I’m fine. Stop crowding around me.”
Ye Fengyun waved his hand impatiently.
Just then, Yun Mengxi strode over and raised her hand to slap him.
Fortunately, Ye Fengyun was quick enough to dodge. The slap landed squarely on the housekeeper’s face behind him instead.
The housekeeper was startled and hurriedly pulled out a mirror to inspect his face. When he saw that nothing seemed wrong, he released a long sigh of relief.
Ye Fengyun looked at Yun Mengxi’s grief-stricken face.
“What are you doing?”
“Ye Fengyun, my father treated you well and honored you as a distinguished guest of the Yun family, yet you killed him!” Yun Mengxi’s eyes were red-rimmed.
Ye Fengyun could not be bothered to explain. Ordinary people would never be able to understand everything he had experienced; it lay far beyond their comprehension.
“I didn’t kill him. I have nothing else to say.”
“An act of cowardice is still cowardice! If you did it, then admit it—you’re no man!” Yun Mengxi rebuked him in anguish.
Ye Fengyun replied, “Whether I’m a man or not, my wife is the one most qualified to judge. You can stay out of it.”
Tang Shihan froze for a moment, then clenched her teeth in anger.
