Chapter 1030: Chapter 1047: Eastward Thousand Miles
But now, it’s different. Ye Feng actually wants to strip them of all their assets, leaving them utterly desperate.
If it had been before, and Ye Feng said he wanted the Bai Family homeless and penniless, everyone would think Ye Feng was a fool, a big talker.
But now, no one would doubt Ye Feng because the one executing this is the commander of the East Border War Zone, Liu Jin. When Liu Jin acts, even the top aristocratic families don’t dare to be arrogant, let alone Bai Yuting, someone with only tens of billions in assets and no backing, which poses no difficulty at all.
"It’s over... It’s all over, everything is gone, gone?" Bai Yuting stood there, stunned.
She never dreamed such a thing would happen today. Bai Yuting, who was accustomed to being arrogant and domineering in Guangdu, always got any man she set her sights on.
But today, she ended up offending someone she absolutely couldn’t afford to offend—a person her father, the commander of the East Border War Zone, didn’t dare insult, someone before whom he was deferential, leaving Bai Yuting utterly hopeless.
"What are you all looking at? Hurry and take them away!" Liu Jin scolded his subordinates angrily.
"Yes, Commander!" Instantly, the warriors snapped out of their shock, rushed to Bai Haoguo and Bai Yuting, and forcibly escorted them away.
They didn’t worry about making Bai Haoguo and Bai Yuting uncomfortable because, from today, the Bai Family had nothing left or, rather, the Bai Family had completely disappeared from Guangdu.
In no time, Bai Haoguo and Bai Yuting vanished from everyone’s sight.
Afterward, Ye Feng looked at Liu Jin: "If there’s nothing else, you can go back. You should have a lot of work recently." After hearing Ye Feng’s words, Liu Jin nodded respectfully: "Yes, Mr. Ye, I’ll take my leave then!"
Liu Jin didn’t mention Ye Feng’s identity, nor did Ye Feng want to expose it because Ye Feng intended only to stay here for a few days; once he helped Wu Kexin resolve her troubles, Ye Feng would leave.
Ye Feng’s identity being exposed would definitely cause a stir in Guangdu, so he chose not to reveal it. Soon, Liu Jin left, leaving behind Guo Xuefeng and others, who were still bewildered, with shock lingering in their hearts.
At this moment, Ye Feng’s gaze fell upon Guo Xuefeng, leaving him utterly frozen.
Seeing Ye Feng’s utterly calm gaze, Guo Xuefeng felt as if his soul was being sucked into an abyssal black hole, from which there was no escape, his face filled with terror.
Ye Feng slowly asked, "It seemed like you were planning something against me, right?"
Upon hearing Ye Feng’s question, Guo Xuefeng turned pale with fright, trembling all over, unable to muster any resistance, staring at Ye Feng in despair while shaking his head repeatedly.
"Boom!" Guo Xuefeng suddenly knelt down: "No, no, Mr. Ye, you’ve misunderstood. I was impulsive before; now I’ve calmed down. How would I dare do anything against you? Please spare me; I promise never to be powerless before you again!"
Seeing Guo Xuefeng’s sincere attitude, Ye Feng naturally didn’t hold it against him: "Given your sincere attitude, I’ll let you go just this once. Remember, this is the only time!"
Actually, Guo Xuefeng wasn’t as annoying as those spoiled brats Ye Feng encountered before. He liked Wu Kexin and Li Xue’er, but he pursued them openly, without any deceitful or despicable actions.
Ye Feng could understand his anger earlier; losing face in front of his two goddesses was normal. Others might not have been able to bear it.
Guo Xuefeng didn’t expect Ye Feng to let him off so easily and was naturally grateful: "Thank you! Thank you, Mr. Ye, I swear I’ll never do anything so foolish again."
Guo Xuefeng was extremely thankful that Bai Haoguo and Bai Yuting arrived. If they had come a bit later, the Guo Family might be facing the same downfall.
Previously, Guo Xuefeng felt smug, thinking someone would take care of Ye Feng without him lifting a finger, but now it was Bai Haoguo being dealt with by Ye Feng.
Ye Feng checked the time and spoke slowly: "It’s getting late; everyone should go back and rest. We still have to leave early tomorrow."
Everyone nodded and then left together, including Ye Feng, returning to his room—leaving only the stunned spectators.
Morning came quickly, and this time, Ye Feng would accompany Wu Kexin and Li Xue’er to an island to collect newly discovered herbs.
At eight in the morning, Ye Feng and the others arrived at the port.
The Eastward Thousand Miles was Guangdu’s largest and most luxurious passenger ship, and today Ye Feng and the others would take it to the island.
Only Li Xue’er, Wu Kexin, and Ye Feng would make the trip together.
Li Linfeng said he was too old for such a journey and wouldn’t join them.
With Ye Feng accompanying them, Li Linfeng felt assured about Wu Kexin and Li Xue’er’s safety.
"Mr. Ye, President Wu, President Li!" A voice reached Ye Feng and the others.
A young, handsome man walked toward them.
The man was none other than Guo Xuefeng, whom Ye Feng and the others encountered the previous day.
Guo Xuefeng’s eyes were filled with reverence for Ye Feng as he said respectfully: "Mr. Ye, hello, I’ll be joining your journey this time. I hope you don’t mind."
Wu Kexin quickly explained: "The Guo Family is one of our partners, so they will be joining this trip as well. Along with them, one of Guangdu’s three top aristocratic families—the Huang Family—will also accompany us."
Guo Xuefeng quickly added: "Mr. Ye, if you mind, I won’t go with you. I’m here because of the partnership, with no other intention..."
