Chapter 56 -52: Dongfang Tang Under House Arrest
The next day, Yuan Jingxing came to find Ye Chen. It was a day off and Ye Chen did not go to He Weng. While Ye Chen was having breakfast, Jingxing came in.
Ye Xue quickly called out, “Jingxing, come and join us for breakfast quickly.”
“I’ve already had breakfast,” Jingxing said.
“But you can’t just watch us eat, it makes us uncomfortable.” Ye Xue continued, “Hurry up and join us for breakfast.”
Only then did Jingxing join them.
Ye Xue had to quickly leave as she was busy with something in the kitchen, leaving Ye Chen and Yuan Jingxing alone.
Jingxing’s early arrival was somewhat unexpected for Ye Chen as they had grown distant recently, with Jingxing rarely coming over so early, but he could somewhat guess why.
Ye Chen still asked, “What’s the matter?”
“Oh, Zhan Ze wants to see you.”
Ye Chen guessed it must be about the incident last night, he nodded in silence after a moment.
“Eat your food, no rush, take your time.”
Ye Chen continued to eat.
“What have you been busy with lately? You don’t come to see us anymore.”
Ye Chen smiled and said, “I haven’t been particularly busy, aren’t you guys busy preparing for the martial arts competition! I don’t dare disturb you, I still haven’t finished the two books He Weng gave me.”
“Heh, that event is just for show. How could you be disturbing us? I was just worried that you didn’t want to spend time with us,” Jingxing said.
“That’s impossible.”
“Don’t be distant with us, you were the fourth member brought into our group of three brothers.”
Ye Chen chuckled at this.
Jingxing said, “Right, there might have been a misunderstanding between you and Zhan Ze because of Yu Qing’s matter, but don’t take it to heart, it’s all in the past.”
Ye Chen again chuckled lightly and said, “Eat.”
“I really have had breakfast already.”
“Then eat a bit more, don’t let Jiang Shizi say you’re too skinny.”
Listening to this, Jingxing chuckled and said, “Zhan Ze’s temper is indeed a bit tricky, but it’s because of Yu Qing. I hope you won’t take it to heart.”
“I won’t.”
“Then you should visit more often, we should talk more often. The bond between brothers needs cultivation. Once it becomes distant, it’s lost,” Yuan Jingxing said.
Ye Chen suddenly stood up and called out, “Jing Qiu, we’re leaving, you can clean up.”
“Mm, go ahead, I’ll come out to clean up soon,” Jing Qiu responded from the room.
Ye Chen followed Jingxing out.
“I hope I didn’t disturb you.”
Ye Chen quickly said, “No, even if you hadn’t come, I was planning to go see Zhan Ze after breakfast.”
“Mm, thanks to you for last night.”
“Don’t say that, I still arrived a step late, when I got there those people had already escaped.”
“You didn’t get a clear look at anyone last night?”
Ye Chen heard this and lifted his head, stuttering slightly.
“Hey, let’s talk about this when we get to Zhan Ze’s place.”
When they arrived at Zhan Ze’s courtyard, it was peaceful. Hobbling out on crutches, Zhan Ze was helped into a reclining chair, where he was enjoying a sumptuous breakfast. Ren Haotian was also there.
As soon as Ye Chen came in, Su Zhanze called out, “Hey, hurry up and come have breakfast.”
Ye Chen replied modestly, “I just had breakfast in my courtyard.”
“Then have a bit more.”
The two men walked over.
Jingxing said, “If I’d known your breakfast was so lavish, I would have saved some room.”
Soon, everyone was seated.
Zhan Ze was the first to speak, “Thank you so much for last night.”
“I regret not being able to be there in time to prevent you from getting hurt,” Ye Chen said with self-blame.
“But you showed up, if you hadn’t, no one would know if I ended up dead out there,” Zhan Ze said.
Ye Chen asked with concern, “Are your injuries any better?”
“I’m a tough one, it should be nothing serious, don’t worry.” Young Master Ze said, “Come on, enough talking, let’s eat.”
Still, Ye Chen sat quietly.
Zhan Ze asked, “You really didn’t get a clear look at anyone last night?”
Ye Chen raised his head.
Zhan Ze continued, “Hey, it’s okay, just tell what you saw straight away. We’re here for you.”
“I vaguely saw one person, Dongfang Tang.”
“I knew it was them.” Haotian exclaimed.

“Didn’t you see Haoyu?”
Ye Chen shook his head, saying, “No, it was too dark.”
“No worries, as long as we spot Dongfang Tang, things will be easy to handle. As long as we see one person, we can confirm they did it.” Ren Haotian said.
Jingxing said, “Then we have evidence.”
Ye Chen’s face became serious, and he asked, “Zhan Ze, what are you going to do?”
Haotian said, “What else can we do? We can’t let them get away with this.”
Ye Chen said, “I think we should just let this incident go.” He knew the cause of these incidents and did not want to escalate the situation.
Haotian said, “No, we can’t let it go just like that, we absolutely mustn’t let those people get away.”
Ye Chen said, “This incident is definitely because of the firecrackers. Back and forth like this, when will it end?”
“Let the past go? How could we, they’ve already taken harsh actions, how could we possibly let it go? We can’t let them off, especially when we have an eyewitness.”
Zhan Ze realized that Ye Chen was afraid, and said, “Ye Chen, are you scared of them?”
“With us behind you, what’s there to be afraid of? You don’t need to be scared of them.” Haotian said.
“I feel like this situation, if it keeps escalating, will only get bigger and bigger, I don’t know when it will end.”
Haotian said, “Now is not the time for us to be afraid, what’s there for us to be scared of? Now we have eyewitnesses who saw them do it, although we didn’t see Qiao Haoyu, I’m sure it was Haoyu who let them do this. If we step back because of fear, they will get more and more arrogant, once there is a first time, there will be a second time, they will definitely continue their actions.”
Ye Chen remained silent.
Haotian added, “I think you should say you saw Haoyu too, it would be better that way.”
Ye Chen shook his head insistently, saying, “No, I didn’t see Haoyu. We can’t say that.”
Zhan Ze, seeing Ye Chen’s fear, suggested, “How about this, you don’t have to say you saw Haoyu, just tell us the actual situation you witnessed yesterday night, that should work.”
Ye Chen was wavering. He was uncertain what to do, scared that Young Master Ze would be upset if he didn’t say anything, but he also didn’t know the consequences if he did.
“Oh man, what are you scared of? With us by your side, he won’t dare to cause you any harm.” Haotian said.
Jingxing said, “When people get beaten up like this, if we turn a blind eye this time, what about next time?”
Haotian nodded and said, “Yeah, we can’t just let it go like this.”
Zhan Ze said, “If you really don’t want to, I’ll figure out another way.”
Ye Chen choked back his fear, worried that if he refused, Zhan Ze would get upset. So he said, “Alright, I’ll tell everything I saw last night.” He had no other choice but to do this.
Haotian said, “Even if Haoyu wasn’t seen, as long as Dongfang Tang is confirmed to have been there, the incident can’t be dissociated from him. It’s apparent they tried to take revenge on us because of the previous incident.”
Ye Chen, now having no way out, began to worry. If he knew it would turn out like this, he would rather have said that he saw nothing. But now it was too late, he could only say that he saw it. If he did not, Zhan Ze would undoubtedly get angry. The situation had been bad for a few days already. If a new incident sparked, it would likely get worse.
Jingxing said, “Don’t worry, there will be nothing wrong, we got your back.”
Ye Chen asked again, “Zhan Ze, what do you plan to do?”
“Just tell my mother about this and tell her what you saw.” Zhan Ze said.
“Will they be punished then?”
“That’s not our business anymore.”
“I think we should just let this go.”
“Are you scared?”
“No, I’m just thinking, since we’re all from Immortal City, if this incident gets bigger, it will be awkward for everyone when we meet.”
“Despite using such heavy hands, they didn’t think twice. We’re all from Immortal City. We can’t just let them get away with it.” Haotian said.
“We don’t want to stir up trouble, but we can’t just let them off. Since they’ve gone this far, there’s no point in talking anymore.” Jingxing said.
Ye Chen lowered his head.
Soon Ye Chen told Feng Nianmei, Zhan Ze’s mother, about the person he saw that night. Although a night had passed, Feng Nianmei was very angry since her son had been beaten so badly. How could she let it go?
When Zhan Ze met Feng Nianmei, he expressed his doubts, saying, “They must have thought it was me who set off the firecrackers that hurt them last time, so they took their revenge. It must have been Qiao Haoyu’s idea.”
Feng Nianmei nodded in agreement. She still had issues to settle with Qiao Fanfeng. Qiao Fanfeng and Su Hong had had a big quarrel over the Sect Leader position years ago and almost fought. Now she heard that it might be his son who had her son beaten up and blinded, leaving him unconscious. How could she bear this?
She first told Dongfang Tang’s father about his son’s behavior. Dongfang Tang’s father immediately beat Dongfang Tang, but he took it without complaint.
However, Feng Nianmei went to find Qiao Fanfeng and told him about what happened last night. Qiao Haoyu was scolded by his father, Qiao Fanfeng, because of this.
However, that didn’t matter to him. What really upset him was the fact that Dongfang Tang was beaten by his father and put under house arrest for ten days. This was what made him most angry.
Just the thought of it made him feel hatred. They set off firecrackers, and nothing happened to them; Young Master Ze was beaten up, and they raised a big fuss. Qiao Haoyu couldn’t stand this.
