Chapter 713 - 713 713 Old Stories

713: Chapter 713: Old Stories 713: Chapter 713: Old Stories The man known as “Brother Long” was already quite drunk.

When he heard his lackey’s question, he gave a mysterious smile but didn’t say anything.

Seeing this, another lackey who knew his personality well quickly flattered him, “Brother Long, come on, tell us about your glorious past.

We’re dying to hear it!” Brother Long was pleased with their attitude.

He tried to act deep and serious but couldn’t hide his smugness as he said, “It was over ten years ago.

Back then, I was still hanging around Wanghai University.” Over ten years ago?

Wanghai University?

Ye Fei’s heart jolted.

He finally remembered who this man was.

Zheng Long!

The man who had caused the rift between Liu Fengyi and Ye Ningxue all those years ago.

Ye Fei had seen his photo at Ye Ningxue’s house, but the man now looked different from the picture.

More importantly, in Ye Fei’s mind, Zheng Long had long been considered dead.

That’s why Ye Fei hadn’t recognized him at first—he hadn’t even considered the possibility.

Once he recognized the man, Ye Fei clenched his fists tightly.

Without even asking, he was almost certain that the events of the past had been part of a conspiracy!

But Ye Fei didn’t immediately confront the man.

This was an opportunity.

Zheng Long was in that drunken state where people tend to spill the truth.

Listening to him now would be more effective than interrogating him later.

So, Ye Fei suppressed his anger and restrained his impulse to act.

Seeing his two lackeys listening intently, Zheng Long continued, “You know about the two big families in Wanghai, right?” “Of course, the Liu family and the Ye family,” the two lackeys quickly nodded.

“Exactly, the Liu family and the Ye family.

Although their influence isn’t as big as the top families in the capital, in Wanghai, they were practically untouchable,” Zheng Long said with a smug grin.

“And back then, I single-handedly almost turned them against each other!” The two lackeys nodded eagerly.

“We know that, but how did you manage to make them feud?” Zheng Long chuckled mysteriously for a while before finally spitting out three words: “The handsome man strategy!” “No way!” The two lackeys exclaimed in awe, their eyes filled with envy.

“We’ve heard that the women from the Liu and Ye families were all stunning beauties.

Which one did you get close to?” “Liu Fengyi from the Liu family and Ye Ningxue from the Ye family,” Zheng Long said proudly.

“You’re so lucky!” The two lackeys’ eyes gleamed with mischief.

“Brother Long, tell us, what was it like to be with such gorgeous women?

Must’ve been amazing, right?” Zheng Long’s expression faltered for a moment.

This was his biggest regret.

Although Ye Ningxue had been deeply infatuated with him back then, she had been very guarded about her body.

Plus, he had a mission to complete, so he never got the chance to get intimate with her.

As for Liu Fengyi, who had always looked down on him, that was even more out of the question.

But now, in the middle of bragging, he wasn’t about to admit his failure.

So, he quickly regained his smug demeanor and said with a laugh, “Of course!

They say beautiful women have their charms, and that’s true.

It was incredible!

Too bad I had to give them up for the mission.” Even though Ye Fei knew the guy was full of it, hearing his words still filled him with rage.

He couldn’t control himself any longer.

He stood up and walked over to their table, his voice cold as ice as he asked, “What mission?

Who sent you?” Zheng Long looked up with drunken, bleary eyes and saw Ye Fei.

Not recognizing him, he chuckled and asked, “Hey, kid, who are you?

You here to listen to my legendary stories too?” “I’m Ye Fei.

Maybe you haven’t heard of me,” Ye Fei said, his voice so cold it could freeze hell.

“But you know my parents—Ye Lingyun and Liu Yiru.” “Ye Lingyun?

Liu Yiru?” Zheng Long mumbled the names, then suddenly his eyes widened in realization.

He let out a shout, and all the alcohol seemed to evaporate from his system.

Without another word, he turned and bolted for the exit.

Ye Fei didn’t move.

He waited until Zheng Long was almost at the door before raising his right hand.

Just as Zheng Long thought he was about to escape, he felt an invisible force grab him.

His body went limp, and he was slowly pulled back toward Ye Fei, floating through the air like a ghost had seized him.

The terrifying sight made him scream in panic.

Ye Fei wasn’t doing this to show off his skills.

He wanted to completely break Zheng Long’s spirit so that questioning him would be easier.

By the time Zheng Long was pulled back into Ye Fei’s grasp, the two lackeys finally snapped out of their stupor.

Whether out of loyalty or because they were still drunk, they shouted, “Who the hell are you?

Let Brother Long go!” Ye Fei ignored them entirely.

He glared at Zheng Long and demanded, “Talk.

Who sent you?” Zheng Long had no backbone to begin with, and now he was utterly terrified by Ye Fei’s supernatural abilities.

He didn’t dare hold back and blurted out, “It was my brother!

He’s the one who made me do it!” “Who’s your brother?

Where is he now?” Ye Fei pressed.

“His name was Zheng Wei.

He died over ten years ago,” Zheng Long pleaded.

“Please, let me go!

It was all my brother’s plan.

I was just a pawn!” Dead?

Ye Fei frowned.

From Zheng Long’s reaction, it seemed he was telling the truth.

If so, the trial ended here.

It wasn’t hard to imagine that Zheng Wei had been silenced.

What puzzled Ye Fei was why Zheng Long hadn’t been killed too.

Did he still have some use?

Seeing Ye Fei’s silence, Zheng Long thought he might be swayed by his words.

He shamelessly continued, “It’s true!

It was all my brother’s fault.

I liked your aunt back then.

If it weren’t for my brother forcing me, maybe we’d be family now.” “Shut up!

You’re not even worthy of mentioning her!” Zheng Long’s words only fueled Ye Fei’s rage.

The thought that this scumbag had probably bragged about this story to countless people, tarnishing his aunt’s and Liu Fengyi’s reputations, made Ye Fei want to torture him to death on the spot.

But he held back.

Zheng Long still had some use.

Although Ye Ningxue and Liu Fengyi had reconciled recently, Ye Fei knew his aunt still carried a lingering pain from the past.

The only way to truly heal that wound was to confront the center of it all—Zheng Long himself.

So, Ye Fei decided to take this scumbag back to Wanghai and let his aunt see for herself how little her years of suffering were worth.

By now, Zheng Long’s two lackeys had also figured out Ye Fei’s identity—the nephew of one of the women involved in the scandal.

They sobered up quickly.

It turned out they weren’t as loyal as they seemed.

Their first instinct was to run away, hoping Ye Fei wouldn’t take his anger out on them.

But Ye Fei wasn’t about to let them leave.

Even if they weren’t directly involved, they now knew a story that could bring shame to his aunt.

Their fate was sealed.
