Chapter 176: The Nightmare in Yun Bing’s Eyes Translator: Tim Editor: Chrissy

“You’re saying you are Ye Mo? The Ye Mo of the Beijing Ye Family? That Ye Mo who made Ye Beirong send away his two sons?” The old man paused, already certain this Ye Mo was the one.

If he was the Ye Family’s abandoned son, then he was someone the Song Family wouldn’t dare to cross—much less the Ou Family, which was less powerful. Ye Mo had killed several Song Family members. Last week, moments before Song Shaochen died, he uttered, “I understand.” No one knew what he understood, but everyone speculated it was related to Ye Mo.

Even though the Song Family knew Song Shaochen was killed by Ye Mo, no one dared to retaliate. The Song Family wouldn't even touch Ye Mo, so his claim of not fearing the Ou Family was credible.

While the old man didn’t know why the Song Family feared Ye Mo, he knew that Song Qiming, the Song Family leader, was cautious, yet wouldn't forgo revenge for his son’s death. Therefore, there must be something more terrifying about Ye Mo that Ou Jinlong didn't know.

Ou Jinlong's face fell; he didn't want Ye Mo to leave, but regretted his words. Why hadn’t he investigated Ye Mo, at least to know what he looked like? Although he believed the Ou Family could withstand Ye Mo, he didn't want to be the first to fight him and give others the advantage.

If Ou Jinlong realized this, so could the middle-aged man. Any prominent Beijing family would have heard of Ye Mo.

Before Ye Mo arrived in Beijing, there were six arrogant young masters. They were incredibly arrogant, but since Ye Mo’s arrival, one had been sent away, and one killed. The remaining four were banished by their families for fear of encountering Ye Mo. Yet, the Ou Family sent their young master to America, and Ye Mo found him.

“Very cocky, are you? I’ll kick you to death.” The bulging-eyed youth saw Yun Bing cowering behind Ye Mo and seethed. Why wasn’t she hiding behind him? Enraged by Ye Mo’s words, he lunged, kicking at Ye Mo.

It was too late for Ou Jinlong to stop him.

Ye Mo coldly met the youth's attack, countering with a kick. Ye Mo’s leg struck the youth’s knee. A sickening crack echoed as Ye Mo’s foot continued, landing on the youth’s chest.

The youth flew several meters, crashing into the wall. Blood gushed from his mouth; his leg was clearly broken.

“You…” Ou Jinlong anticipated Ye Mo's arrogance, but not to this extent. Kicking his grandson like that, in front of him; with a little more force, he could have killed him.

Yun Bing was terrified. Ye Mo had nearly killed Ou Jinlong's grandson and broken his kneecaps. She was petrified, wondering what to do. She had inadvertently caused Ye Mo to feud with the Ou Family. She frantically searched for a way to get Ye Mo to safety.

However, Yun Bing was more perplexed that Ou Jinlong didn't erupt. He merely uttered, “You,” in furious disbelief, and stopped.

Ye Mo sneered. “What about me? Very cocky? You’re right, I am, to you. I’m leaving. Anyone going to stop me?”

Ou Jinlong’s face was green with rage. Though the Ou Family wasn’t among Beijing’s five biggest families, their power rivaled them. Normally, even the five great families avoided conflict with the Ou Family. That's why there were six, not five, arrogant young masters in Beijing.

How could Ou Jinlong tolerate this young man barging in and acting so arrogantly? Even in retirement, he couldn't let this slide.

“Okay, okay…” Ou Jinlong stuttered in rage. He couldn’t understand how the Song Family endured after Ye Mo killed their people. Ye Mo hadn’t killed his people, yet he couldn't contain his fury. If the Song Family could endure that, they must be truly on the decline.

Ye Mo sneered, looking at Ou Jinlong. “Feel free to seek revenge, but don’t blame me if you don’t return. I hate threats. I’m giving you a chance now. And, old man, I’m warning you. Touch one hair on Yun Bing’s head, and I will annihilate the Ou Family. I’m leaving. I'll be waiting for you.”

Then, Ye Mo took Yun Bing and Tingting and left, not bothering to look at Ou Jinlong's furious trembling.

Ou Jinlong gasped, nearly fainting.

After recovering, his first words were, “No matter the cost, we will send this punk to hell. If he thinks we’re like the five great families, he’s blind.”

…

Far from the district, Yun Bing finally snapped back to reality. “Ye Mo, run as far as possible! Quickly, once the Ou Family is ready, you won’t be able to leave.”

Ye Mo smiled faintly. “Don’t worry, Mrs. Yun, I’m fine. I feuded with the Song Family, and I’m still walking free. The Ou Family is nothing.”

At that moment, Ye Mo fully grasped the importance of strength. If he hadn’t reached Stage 3 Chi Gathering, the Song Family might have destroyed him. Even if not the Song Family, Nan Qing would have.

“You don’t know how fierce the Ou Family is! I beg you, leave!” Yun Bing, seeing Ye Mo unharmed, became frantic.

“Mommy, why do you want Big Brother Mo to leave? Isn’t it good for him to stay with us?” Tingting, seeing her mother’s plea, asked.

Yun Bing picked up Tingting. “Tingting, why are you calling him big brother? Call him uncle, okay?”

Tingting pouted. “In Hong Kong, many older people called him Brother Mo, so I call him Big Brother Mo.”

“What? Tingting, you went to Hong Kong? How?” Yun Bing, preoccupied with Tingting’s Hong Kong trip, forgot about Ye Mo’s situation.

Ye Mo recounted his Hong Kong experiences.

“You know Tingting?” Yun Bing asked curiously.

Ye Mo said, “I saw her in your room that day.”

Yun Bing recalled Ye Mo staying at her house for several days. She blushed. Her face, pale from the earlier events, suddenly flushed crimson.

“Mum, why is your face red?” Tingting noticed.

Yun Bing awkwardly said, “Tingting, let’s go, Mummy will buy you snacks.”

Tingting’s focus shifted to snacks, and she surprisingly didn’t urge Ye Mo to leave.

Tingting wanted KFC, so they went for junk food, making Tingting happy.

“Are you going back to Ning Hai today?” Yun Bing unexpectedly asked Ye Mo. Though she wanted to be with him, she lacked a reason. With Tingting beside her, she felt content. Even facing the Ou Family’s revenge, it didn't seem so bad.

Ye Mo, unaware of Yun Bing’s thoughts, said, “Not going back. It’s getting late, and the trip back to Ning Hai would be long.”

“Then we’ll go to a hotel?” Yun Bing asked eagerly.

Ye Mo shook his head. “I have a place in Beijing, where my sister Ye Ling and brother Ye Zifeng live. They rarely go there, so we’ll go today. What do you think, Mrs. Yun?”

Yun Bing felt relieved. “Okay, a hotel’s best avoided. I didn’t expect you to have a place in Beijing. But, please stop calling me Mrs. Yun. Call me Yun Bing or Sister Bing.”

“No problem, Sister Bing.” Ye Mo was grateful to Yun Bing for risking her life. He finally had a chance to repay her, and he was happy.

Suddenly, Yun Bing remembered something and looked at Ye Mo. “Your sister and brother? Are you the Ye Family’s… Oh, sorry, I only heard this from others.”

Ye Mo smiled. “Don’t worry, it’s true. My sister Ye Ling is very kind to me. So, even though I’m not from the Beijing Ye Family, Ye Ling is still my sister, and Ye Zifeng is my brother.”
