"You, a reformed convict, want us to leave? Don't even think about it!"
"We've lived in this house for so many years, it's ours now. You want us to leave? No way."
"Why didn't you just die in jail? How dare you come back?"
In front of a flat-house, a loathsome middle-aged woman, one hand akimbo and the other pointing furiously at a young man, was cursing vehemently. Her words were sharp and sarcastic, leaving no dignity for the house's true owner.
The young man being berated was named Ye Feng. He was originally the master of this flat. The woman, called Liu Hong, was Ye Feng's former neighbor and a locally famous shrew.
The reason why she dares to curse Ye Feng confidently is because he had just been released from jail.
Initially returning with a resurgence of hope, he was met instead with a smack in the face, confronting such a scene.
As Ye Feng listened to Liu Hong's malicious curses, a wave of rage surged in his chest. His face darkened, his hands clenched so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh.
Each of Liu Hong’s words was like a sharp dagger, deeply stabbing into Ye Feng's heart, causing overwhelming pain.
"Both of you, mother and son, are no good. A vixen, seduced others, gave birth to such a bastard like you. Even your family house you can't enter, you deserved your jail time."
Liu Hong continued to curse spitefully. Having been neighbors for so many years, she was extremely jealous of Ye Feng's mother's beauty and often spoke ill of her behind her back.
Now that Ye Feng's mother had passed away, and Ye Feng himself had just been released from jail, she became even more outrageous, cursing freely and cheerfully.
Yes, Ye Feng was indeed an illegitimate child, but it wasn't because his mother seduced his father.
Ye Feng's mother was named Chen Mei.
His father, Ye Xianxian's family, the Ye family, was one of the top-notch, respected families in the whole Nanling province. During his youth, he came to Liancheng to expand the family business and accidentally met and fell in love with Ye Feng's mother.
The massive gulf created by their family statuses, doomed the fate of the couple to be tragic. Ye Xianxian didn't end up with Chen Mei in the end.
Under the pressure of his family, he ruthlessly abandoned the already pregnant Chen Mei, choosing to marry into another powerful family of the same social status as the Ye family.
Chen Mei, bearing a child, suffered scorn in Lian City for being a widow with a child, especially for her beauty.
She had always been the target of jealousy from women around, Liu Hong being one of them.
However, Chen Mei was gentle, gracious, and refined, and never quarreled with anyone over this throughout the years.
She just quietly raised Ye Feng.
Under Chen Mei's upbringing, Ye Feng was diligent. From childhood to adulthood, his performance was outstanding. He even earned the highest scores in Lian City in his college entrance exam, gaining him entrance to a prestigious university in the provincial city.
During university, he successfully started his own company. His academic and business fronts were smooth sailing, and Chen Mei was proud of her son.
By the time of graduation, Ye Feng's company had achieved considerable scale, with total assets reaching over a billion yuan.
He was only twenty-three that year.
The year before he went to prison, the Ye family found him, intending to have him return to the Ye family, acknowledge his lineage, with the old master Ye even intending to train him to be the heir of the Ye family.
He wanted to cut ties completely with that aristocratic family known as the top family in the provincial city, but Chen Mei wanted him to acknowledge the Ye family.
In order not to oppose his mother's wishes, Ye Feng had no choice but to acknowledge his lineage.
This decision touched the positions of some people in the Ye family. Someone secretly set a trap, resulting in Ye Feng serving five years in prison, his mother Chen Mei was even cruelly harmed, leading to their permanent separation by death.
Every time he thought of this, his heart would ache. Now that it was brought up face-to-face, Ye Feng, veins throbbing, glared sternly at Liu Hong, tersely said, "Say that again!"
Looking at Ye Feng's beast-like murderous gaze, Liu Hong felt a bit shaky inside. After all, she was indeed a woman, and the man in front of her was a rumored murderer and arsonist.
She was still clueless about exactly what kind of being she had provoked.
That’s true, Ye Feng had indeed spent five years in prison. But what she didn't know was exactly what he had experienced during that time there.
After Ye Feng was framed, some people in the Ye family didn't want to give him the slightest chance of turning over a new leaf, thus a list of dozens of crimes was leveled against him.
Murder, arson, robbery, theft... Even outrageous crimes like stealing candy from children were added to his rap sheet.
The judgment book weighed over a dozen pounds, symbolizing his heavy sinfulness, which was portrayed in the media as a major crime across the country.
As a result, he was thrown into the country's most terrifying prison, a place known as the Death Jail, from which no one had ever emerged alive.
However, not only did Ye Feng survive, but he also had an extraordinary encounter in prison. An old man, who was the strictest regulated prisoner, made him a peerless martial arts master in just two years.
Subsequently, he became the king of the prison. When the northwestern adversary country infiltrated, he was invited out by the military. With his power alone, he killed endless enemies, striking off the heads of over ten war gods.
After that, his reputation squashed any defiance, and no one dared to cross him.
During the following period, he was invited by the military to train elite soldiers, and he personally created an elite force known as Elite China Guardians.
Subsequently, he led the Elite China Guardians to wage wars from the east to the west, detering numerous foreign forces.
His deeds were of legendary brilliance, making him the most mysterious entity in the nation, a living myth, the one and only legend.
This was also why he was able to leave that prison. Those behind the Ye family would never imagine that Ye Feng not only came out but also emerged with formidable strength and a fanatical desire for revenge.
Ye Feng had truly experienced murderous battlefields, bathed in endless blood, and his aura was appalling.
Liu Hong was startled by this momentum and unintentionally took a few steps back. She was a bit shaken, but thinking that her husband was in the house gave her courage.
"Hmph, why not speak of you? You're nothing but a bastard born from a wild slut…"
"Slap!"
With the sound of a slap, Liu Hong's words were abruptly cut off, her entire figure sent flying sideways.
What strength did Ye Feng have?
He had already surpassed the War God, he himself didn't even know how terrifying he was.
Although, he held back as much as possible, his might was still not to be underestimated. He slapped Liu Hong, sending her flying. The woman's ugly cheek swelled half-sidedly, the corner of her mouth seeping fresh blood, even a few teeth dropped out.
"He's a murderer, the labor reformer is a murderer..."
Lying on the ground, Liu Hong was first stupefied, unexpecting that the man would dare to hit her. Then, she started wailing hysterically like a pig being slaughtered.
Her voice was incredibly loud to begin with. Aided by her frantic crying, it was like a loudspeaker that instantly alerted the surrounding neighbors who soon came out to see what's happening.
"Ye Feng?"
"He's out?"
"Wasn't he sentenced to a long time, unable to come out in this lifetime?"
"Maybe he escaped from jail, everyone should be careful."
Seeing Ye Feng, the neighbors around were slightly surprised, and they began to whisper among themselves.
"What a pity for such a person, he was so excellent back then, but he ended up walking a path of no return."
"If he had chosen the right path back then, by now he'd certainly have made something of himself, who knows how glorious he could have been, he would have become a renowned person in his sphere."
"Even if he gets out now, he'll be ruined, with a criminal record, he'll be a gone case from now on."
Some people said with sighs and regret.
"Honey, who's bullying you?"
At this time, a rugged voice echoed in the room, and a hefty man came out.
Seeing Ye Feng, the man charged forward, his voice full of rage, "You little brat, are you begging for death, daring to act recklessly in my house?”
