Chapter 1043 A Send-Off
Ye Fan headed towards Jiangdong in a hurry.
Meanwhile, every light in a grand mansion situated in the city hub of Jingzhou had been turned on.
Everything around the mansion was enveloped in the pitch-ck night while the inside of the mansion
remained brightly lit. It was as if the sun had not yet set in the mansion.
Lei San had given this mansion to Ye Fan as a present when thetter had returned to his hometown
on New Year''s Day.
Ye Xi-Mei had taken up residence in this mansion after Ye Fan had left.
She would spend the day managing Mufan Group''s businesses in Jingzhou and retire to the mansion

at night.
Perhaps it had gotten too lonely for her, because after some time, Ye Xi-Mei had invited the old master
of the Ye family to take up residence with her.
Then, Ye Tian and the others had found out where Ye Xi-Mei had been living. They had appeared at
her doorstep with an apology and tried to ease the tensions between the family and this pair of mother
and son.
After all, Ye Fan had had a terrible falling out with the Ye family on New Year''s Day.
Ye Tian had been removed from his office after he had offended Ye Fan. Ye Ya offered a worse fate.
Jingzhou''s businesses had refused to work with him.
His was a modestpany. But he had incurred Ye Fan''s wrath, which had resulted in the massive
boycott from the rest of the businesses in Jingzhou. Within a few days, hispany had gone under
and he had been forced to sell his factory.
Ye Ya had had the intentions of heading for Jianghai and to find work with his second brother-inw.
When he had arrived at Jianghai, he had found out that his second eldest sister and her family hadn''t
been faring much better than he had.
His sister''s husband, Jiang Yang, had been fired by thepany that he had been working at for
decades after he had returned to work following the festive holiday.
Hispany had told him that he had cost them unimaginable losses and thus had to be let go.
They hadn''t been lying.
Jiang Yang had been a high-ranking executive in thepany who had offended Ye Fan, a powerful
and influential figure.
Naturally, hispany had gotten worried about ending up as coteral damage and had fired Jiang
Yang immediately.
It had been then that Ye Tian and the rest had realized that incurring Ye Fan''s wrath had endangered
their very survival.
Left with no choice, the Ye family had approached Ye Xi-Mei.
That day, the whole family had pleaded with Ye Xi-Mei, nearly resorting to falling at her feet as they had
begged for her forgiveness.
Regardless of what they had done, they were still Ye Xi-Mei''s siblings, people who shared the same
blood with her. Their sincere morose had helped to ease the tension that their rtionship had been
fraught with.
Ye Xi-Mei had allowed them to join Mufan Group and help her run thepany''s businesses in
Jingzhou.
The news of Ye Fan''s death spreading throughout Jiangdong had ced the Ye family in a terrible
spot.
This evening, Ye Xi-Mei gathered the family and told them to leave Jingzhou immediately.
"You should leave. All of you. Lei''s men are waiting for you outside the city. She''ll escort you to Yanjing.
You''ll be safe there. Lei has made arrangements for your new life in Yanjing too. You don''t have to
worry," said Ye Xi-Mei as she stood before the mansion. Her lovely face was pale and betrayed no hint
of her thoughts or feelings.
Ye Fan''s death must have been a tremendous blow to her.
There could be no greater tragedy than that of a parent surviving her own child.
The both of them had survived the toughest years of their lives together. But now, her son had gone
ahead and left her on her own.
No one knew how Ye Xi-Mei had gotten herself through the past month.
"How about you? Aren''t youing with us?" asked Ye Jian confusedly when he heard Ye Xi-Mei''s
words. Something didn''t seem right.
Ye Xi-Mei shook her head and smiled helplessly at them. "No, I''m staying. I''m going to wait for Fan to
return. I don''t want him to find himself alone and without family when hees back.”
"Don''t be a fool, sister. Fan is dead. You''re going to get yourself killed if you stay. You should leave with
us right now. We have to hurry before Fenghua Group''s men get here," said Ye Tian anxiously.
He grabbed his sister''s arm and shoved her into the car. They were going to head out of Jingzhou
immediately.
Lei San had called them an hour ago and told them to get out of the city. Lu Ming-Feng had already
sent his men after them.
It appeared that he wasn''t only going to get rid of Ye Fan''s loyal followers but his family as well. He was
going to exterminate everyone that had ties to Ye Fan.
They were going to kill every single one of Ye Fan''s family.
Left with no other option, Ye Xi-Mei could only send the Ye family to Yanjing so that they could seek Xu
Lei''s protection.
"Madam Ye, where are you headed sote in the night? Do you need an escort?"
But before Ye Tian and the rest could drive out of the Ye family estate, Fenghua Group''s men had
arrived outside the gates of the mansion.
Dozens of burly looking men dressed in suits stood in front of the gates and blocked their only path out
of the estate.
An old man with his hands folded behind his back and a faint smile on his face stepped forward.
If Qiu Mu-Cheng were here, she would have recognized this man. He was Wei Wu-Ya, the man who
had hit Qing Tan and sent her falling off Mount Yunding.
"Are you from Fenghua Group? What do you want with us? Are you really going to kill us in public? Do
you have any regard for thews of thisnd?"
The Ye family''s faces fell at the sight of their unwee visitors.
They had not expected them to be here so soon.
"There must be a misunderstanding, Madam Ye. My young master simply wants to invite the Ye family
to Yunzhou for a visit. He would like to share a meal with you. That''s all. He did say that you might
prefer Mr Chu''spany instead of his and that if you turn down his offer and try to run, we could
make arrangements for you to join Mr Chu instead." The smile on Wei Wu-Ya''s face was cold, his
words heavy with the promise of violence should they try to retaliate.
"A visit? Does he think us fools? I doubt I''ll survive the trip," said Ye Xi-Mei coldly.
Wei Wu-Ya shook his head regretfully.
The look on Wei Wu-Ya''s face was devoid of emotion as he issued the order. His eyes were cold and
absent of anypassion.
Mercy had no ce in the cruel fight for power and status.
The shadow of death loomed over the Ye family. It was then that a sudden purple light appeared in the
distant horizon.
It had been faint and nearly imperceptible.
Yet, very quickly, it grew in size and brightness.
Finally, with a loud buzz, the purple light struck the ground like a bolt of lightning.
With a loud groan, thend split apart.
"This is..." rm shed across Wei Wu-Ya''s face. As a martial artist, he knew power when he saw it.
If that purple light had struck him instead, he couldn''t guarantee that he would Content of
Drаm??ovels.cоm
survive it.
This unexpected turn of events sent trepidation coursing through everyone''s blood.
Everyone whipped around and stared into the distance.
They watched as the darkness parted and revealed the alluring form of a beautiful young woman, then
stared as she descended from the heavens gradually.
There were no words to describe the beauty that stood before their eyes.
Her lips were as red as fire and her eyes as dark as the night.
Her immense beauty overshadowed everything else.
The beautiful young woman looked like an empress who had descended from her throne and graced
themonfolk with her royal presence.
