Chapter 129: 129: The Final Counterattack
Ming Yuexin hadn't intended to dismantle the entire Lingyun Society. She understood its historical significance and contributions to the city. Moreover, having overheard some of the conversations inside the club, she knew that all the recent criminal activities were Ye Yu's doing.
Once he was removed, the Society could return to its former honorable state. Ming Yuexin also recognized that eliminating an organization like Lingyun wouldn't rid the city of its problems—another force would rise in its place. And no one could be sure if the next one would be as effective at maintaining balance as Lingyun once had been.
As Ye Yu watched his subordinates being subdued, and saw Zhang Yide and Ming Yuexin standing coldly before him, he suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hahaha... You think you can capture me? You're not strong enough!" He roared, then with a sudden surge of strength, he knocked two officers holding him into the wall. Moving like lightning, he darted toward Zhang Yide.
As an elder of Lingyun Society, Zhang Yide had bodyguards around him at all times. They immediately stepped forward to protect him. But to everyone's surprise, Ye Yu, who had never revealed any martial prowess, struck them down effortlessly with just few blow.
Before Ye Yu could reach Zhang Yide, a nearby officer drew his pistol. Realizing the situation had turned against him, Ye Yu abandoned his plan to kill Zhang Yide. Instead, he lunged sideways, crashing through a wall, leaving a gaping hole. By the time the officers chased after him, Ye Yu had vanished.

Meanwhile, Ye Fei was unaware of the chaos unfolding at the Lingyun Society headquarters in Dynasty club. He had left after watching Ming Yuexin and her team arrive, confident they would handle Ye Yu and the situation.
Ye Lingtian's home was not far from Dynasty Club, so Ye Fei did not take a car. He walked while thinking about his second uncle's problem.
Now the cancer of Ye Yu had been solved, but Ye Lingtian's health had become his worry again. Now it seemed that he could only stabilize him temporarily and speed up the development of the antidote. However, it had been almost two years, and the "evil god" organization had not yet developed it. How could it be easy for him to develop it in a short time?
Knowing the truth about Ye Yu and the poison, Ye Fei realized it was time to confront his second uncle. He dreaded how Ye Lingtian would react upon learning that the son he had raised with such care had betrayed him.
Arriving at the house, Ye Fei was surprised to find the front door slightly ajar. He knew Xu Shuyun and Ye Jing were not home, and Ye Lingtian rarely left the house these days. Curious, he stepped inside.
In the living room, he found an unexpected and unsettling scene: Ye Yu, who should have been arrested, was sitting with Ye Lingtian, seemingly unharmed. How had he escaped?
Suppressing his frustration with the police's failure, Ye Fei quietly walked over and sat beside his uncle. His eyes never left Ye Yu, and for the first time, he didn't bother hiding his hostility.
Ye Lingtian nodded at Ye Fei and said to Ye Yu, "Go ahead, XiaoYu, continue."
Unaware of the shift in Ye Fei's attitude, Ye Yu continued his fabricated story. He had fled to Ye Lingtian's house, hoping to manipulate his adoptive father into believing that Zhang Yide and the others were conspiring against him.
"Uncle Zhang has betrayed us, Father," Ye Yu lied. "He's colluding with the 'Evil God' organization. If I hadn't escaped, I would've been captured by them."
Ye Lingtian frowned, clearly conflicted. "That's impossible. Xiaoyu. I've known Uncle Zhang for years. He's always been loyal to the family. Why would he suddenly turn against us?"
"Power and money can make anyone betray their values." Ye Yu pressed. becoming increasingly desperate. He glanced at Ye Fei. trying to draw him into his web of lies. "Xiaoman, you agree with me, right?
To Ye Yu's surprise. Ye Fei responded calmly. "You' re absolutely right. Brother Yu. Under the influence of greed people can do the unthinkable. Some might even betray their own family.
A person like that could even go as far as to poison the man who raised them."
Ye Yu's face paled. and his smile faltered. "What..What are you talking about?"
"I'm talking about you." Ye Fei said coldly. "Don't play dumb. Do you dare deny that the poison that's been weakening Second Uncle wasn't your doing? Poison supplied by the 'Evil God' organization?"
Ye Yu's expression twisted in fury. but he tried to maintain his composure. "That's ridiculous! Father, he's trying to turn you against me!"
Ye Lingtian, though irritable and unwell due to the effects of the poison, was no fool. He had heard of the organization's poisons and had grown increasingly suspicious. Now that Ye Fei had confirmed his worst fears, all the pieces fell into place. Ye Yu had been overseeing the family's affairs for the past two years- who else could have had the opportunity to poison him?
"You treacherous snake!" Lingtian bellowed. leaping from his seat and grabbing Ye Yu by the throat. Years of pent-up rage. combined with the betrayal of a child he had raised, overwhelmed him.
Ye Fei watched the scene without intervening. His second uncle, despite not practicing internal martial arts had grown up in the rough world of Lingyun Society and could handle himself. But as Ye Fei watched a nagging question formed in his mind: how had Ye Yu managed to escape the police and Zhang Yide?
The answer came sooner than he expected. With a feral grin. Ye Yu growled. "If you know everything then you can die!" With a swift and powerful move. Ye Yu hurled Ye Lingtian into the ceiling. The force was enough to leave the elder man unconscious.
Ye Fei reacted instantly, catching his uncle's limp body before he hit the ground. His eyes filled with fury as he glared at Ye Yu. Who had clearly been hiding his true strength all this time.
"I never imagined that I'd lose everything because of you." Ye Yu spat venomously.
"But it doesn't matter. Once I kill you. I'll take back everything that's mine!" Without warning Ye Yu lunged at Ye Fei with lethal speed.
