However, clearly, this desire of Mingyue’s was impossible to fulfill, and instead of dealing with Ye Luo, she got caught in a double arm lock from behind by him.

Ye Luo’s arms crossed over and embraced Mingyue’s chest from the front, this move, called ’Ring Lock,’ was something Ye Luo had learned from books, different from common fighting skills, and impossible for ordinary people to break free from.

"Bastard, let go of me."

Mingyue kept screaming, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t break free from Ye Luo’s ’Ring Lock.’

"Bastard, pervert, I won’t let you go."

Mingyue’s face was filled with anger, at this moment she wished she could kill this shameless rogue on the spot.

"Who told you to move around? I’m not to blame for this. Besides, it was you who attacked me first. I’m merely defending myself. However, I must say, you have quite a wild character. If it were someone else caught in this lock, they definitely wouldn’t move."

Ye Luo smacked his lips and said, "Let me guess, you’re the type of woman who despises being a quiet and gentle lady, hates fake purity, and even appears rebellious and wayward in other people’s eyes."

At this point, Mingyue was completely freaking out. Who the hell was this guy? Had he investigated her secretly? Otherwise, how could he know her character so thoroughly?

Especially his strength, it was too immense! She had struggled for so long, yet his hands gripped her like iron hoops, without the slightest loosening!

But she had no idea that Ye Luo, this terrifying guy, possessed a pair of Clairvoyant Eyes that saw through everything.

"Let me go at once!"

Mingyue struggled and said again, and this time Ye Luo sensibly let her go. If he teased her any further, things could blow up.

Released by Ye Luo, Mingyue wanted to continue attacking him, but remembering the advantage he just had over her, she suppressed the flames in her heart and emitted a powerful aura, glaring at Ye Luo with a look that could kill.

She also knew well that in an actual fight, this bastard in front of her could easily take on three of her without breaking a sweat. If he hadn’t shown her a bit of mercy just now, she would have already been lying on the ground, unable to move.

"Beauty, what’s with that expression? It’s like I’ve abandoned you. It’s very easy to be misunderstood like that. I still am a pure-hearted young man from a good family, you know."

Ye Luo said with an innocent face.

"Tell me, how do you know all this?"

Mingyue gritted her teeth as she confronted Ye Luo.

"That? It’s a secret."

"Of course, if you really want to know, perhaps we can find a secluded place and discuss it at length."

"You wait, I won’t let you go."

Mingyue glanced at Ye Luo with furious eyes and turned to leave.

"This woman is interesting!"

Ye Luo smiled with a playful expression, and then he, too, turned and left.

In Zhonghai, within a residence, Wang Ruofeng looked surprised as Mingyue walked in.

"Mingyue, why have you come back?"

"Team leader, I’m going to kill that Ye Luo!"

Mingyue said vehemently, her eyes flashing with anger.

"What happened? Why are you so angry?"

Wang Ruofeng asked, observing Mingyue with a calm expression.

"He..."

Mingyue wanted to say something, but she didn’t know how to phrase it. After all, she couldn’t just blurt out Ye Luo’s bastard conjectures that were rebellious and unprincipled—that would be utterly humiliating. Besides, even though she did think so, she would never admit it.

"What did he do?" Wang Ruo Feng’s gaze fixed on Mingyue.

"Nothing much. I was tailing him, and he noticed me right away. Also, his strength is really strong; I’m no match for him."

Mingyue thought for a moment and said, temporarily suppressing the anger in her heart, planning to find that guy and settle the score another day.

"You are already at the Late Acquired Realm level, and you’re still not his match? It seems I was right, this kid is indeed not simple. However, his identity really does surprise me."

Wang Ruo Feng’s eyes narrowed, flashing with unusual light.

"What identity?" Mingyue asked curiously.

"You know the Ye Family, one of the original four great families of Zhonghai?"

"I know. The Ye Family was once one of the four great families of Zhonghai with substantial strength. However, since the Ye Family Head died and his son and daughter-in-law mysteriously disappeared, the Ye Family has declined," said Mingyue indifferently.

"Mm, and this guy is the third generation sole heir of the Ye Family, the eldest young master of the Ye Family," Wang Ruo Feng said with a smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"He is that Ye Family young master?"

Mingyue’s eyes widened in shock. "Isn’t it said that the Ye Family young master is a good-for-nothing debauchee who knows nothing? How is that possible?"

"Exactly, this is what interests me. I have investigated this Ye Family young master through the Security Bureau, and indeed he was a licentious young master who knew nothing in the past. But now, he possesses such tremendous strength; it is indeed not simple."

"Could the team leader be mistaken? Are they not the same person?" Mingyue speculated.

"Impossible, they are indeed the same person. The name, age, and photos are all the same. How could they be wrong? Here is the information about the Ye Family’s eldest young master, take a look."

Wang Ruo Feng handed a file to Mingyue, who took it and saw that it was indeed the same person.

"It looks like this Ye Family young master had hidden a lot in the past and is only now slowly revealing himself. Maybe Zhonghai will experience another storm," Wang Ruo Feng murmured to himself.

"So, team leader, are we going to continue following him?"

"No need. Now, focus all efforts on finding a breakthrough from Lang Kun. Lang Kun is definitely hiding some important secret," Wang Ruo Feng’s eyes sparkled with keenness.

Returning to the villa, Luo Jingxuan began a series of training with Ye Luo to mold him into the true Ye Family young master in preparation to meet Qing Ya two days later.

"Miss Luo, you said Qing Ya has always wanted to call off this marriage and despises the Ye Family eldest young master immensely. How am I supposed to marry her?"

Ye Luo said, frowning slightly.

"That’s your business, not mine. I just need you to become a member of the Ling Family and then get everything the Ling Family has to offer," Luo Jingxuan said indifferently.

"Are you sure your nephew died at the hands of the Ling Family?"

"Not certain, but it’s highly likely." She pointed at Ye Luo, "Please make sure you understand your own situation, you are now my nephew."

Ye Luo shrugged, "If you really guessed right, wouldn’t the Ling Family’s murderer be scared to death upon seeing me? And before dying from fright, they would definitely expose my identity. I’m risking the entire world’s danger here!"

"Enough, no more talk. Just prepare for the banquet two days from now. By then, you’ll know how to deal with Qing Ya," Luo Jingxuan said.
