Chapter 436: Chapter 436: Subduing the Inoue Family
With a burst, blood splattered everywhere, Inoue Tenyu lost his life, and until the very moment of his death, his face still bore an expression of unwillingness to let go.
Unable to suppress the trembling of her body, Inoue Harusame had waited far too long for this day.
The reason the Inoue Family changed hands was precisely because Inoue Tenyu killed Inoue Harusame’s parents and ascended to power through such despicable means.
Throughout these years, Inoue Harusame had been waiting for the opportunity to avenge her parents. Little did she expect, Ye Ming had accomplished this for her.
Inoue Harusame knelt by Ye Ming’s feet and said, "Mr. Ye, your kindness is something I will never forget!"
"Next, I need to take care of some matters."
Ye Ming nodded, "Go ahead!"
After Inoue Harusame left, Ye Ming returned to his room, where a sumptuous meal had already been prepared on the table.
Ye Ming ate leisurely, yet he hadn’t noticed that Xu Lele had woken up.
She was attracted by the fragrant meal, and hearing how deliciously Ye Ming was eating, she finally couldn’t resist.
"I’m so hungry!" Xu Lele said with a look of grievance.
Ye Ming revealed a tender and loving smile, feeling both heartache and happiness in his heart.
He hugged Xu Lele tightly and held her close in his arms.
After a lengthy tender moment, Ye Ming was finally willing to let go, suppressing the excitement in his heart, he said, "Eat, just eat to your heart’s content!"
Xu Lele nodded cheerfully.
She was surprised to find that her body had completely recovered, back to its normal state.
Having been injured for so long and not having had a proper meal, she naturally had to seize the opportunity to feast to her fill now.
The two of them ate very happily, and after finishing the meal, Xu Lele snuggled into Ye Ming’s arms and coquettishly said, "Darling, how exactly did you rescue me?"
Ye Ming smiled gently and began explaining to Xu Lele about the events that had transpired, almost as if he was telling a story.
He hid all the gory details, not telling Xu Lele, only mentioning that a kindhearted Demon God was willing to offer his soul to prolong Xu Lele’s life.
Xu Lele had numerous doubts in her heart. After hearing Ye Ming’s account, she even felt a soul within her trembling, as if it was very dissatisfied.
However, since she had returned to normal, these matters could be left for time to gradually reveal.
All through the night, an earth-shattering change took place within Neon City.
The Family Head of the first family, the Inoue Family, was killed. The former family head’s daughter, Inoue Harusame, smoothly ascended to the position.
She consolidated all the family’s assets, expelled Inoue Tenyu’s cronies, and inserted some of her own people.
Even though she had been the Goddess of Fox Immortal Temple all these years, she had never stopped participating in the family’s power struggles, hence she had a considerable number of loyal followers.
The transition went extremely smoothly until the next morning when Inoue Harusame entered Ye Ming’s room, brimming with energetic vitality.
Now, she was the most prestigious woman in Neon City, but in front of Ye Ming, she remained utterly submissive.
"Mr. Ye, starting today, the Inoue Family has been subdued by me. I am willing to dedicate all of the Inoue Family’s industries to Mr. Ye, please don’t look down on them!"
As Inoue Harusame spoke these words, there wasn’t the slightest hesitation, and it left Xu Lele at her side quite astonished.
She had just woken up from sleep to find that Ye Ming had taken in such a beautiful girl as a servant, and at the same time, he had also come to possess the entire Inoue Family’s industry.
Such a matter would be hard to make people believe if spoken aloud.
Ye Ming wouldn’t refuse Inoue Harusame’s goodwill.
He merely said, "I’ll accept the Inoue Family’s industries. However, I am about to return to my country and have no interest in overseeing these industries. During the period when I am away, you will manage them on my behalf!"
Inoue Harusame showed a grateful expression and hurriedly agreed.
And so, through the power of the Inoue Family, the matter of Ye Ming disrupting all the temples in Neon City was selectively forgotten, and no one dared to bother Ye Ming again.
The Divine King Temple had already received the news of Lami’s execution, but, upon learning that the assassin of Lami was still in Neon City, under the protection of the Inoue Family, they also did not dare to act rashly, unless the entire temple mobilized.
After all, even a mighty dragon will not pressure the local snake. The Inoue Family’s influence was still expanding, instilling fear in others.
The now healthy Xu Lele immediately called everyone at home to report her safe return.
When it came to calling Xia Ningning, Xia Ningning was so moved that she couldn’t stop wiping her tears.
"Le Le, I thought I would never see you again."
Yesterday they were nearly separated by life and death, but today Xu Lele was lively and jumping around, which left Xia Ningning very excited.
Xu Lele smiled gently and said, "This is all thanks to Ye Ming. Without him, I don’t know what would’ve happened to me!"
Upon the mention of Ye Ming, Xia Ningning immediately recalled his behavior when they last video chatted.
After much thought, Xia Ningning couldn’t hold back and said, "Le Le, you don’t know, when you were unconscious before, that big pervert Ye Ming actually found a woman from Japan to serve him!"
"They even soaked in the hot spring together."
Xu Lele’s expression didn’t change at all, she cheerfully said, "Ningning, I’ve seen that woman, and I think you must have misunderstood; their relationship isn’t like that."
"But..." Xia Ningning wanted to say more but was already interrupted by Xu Lele, "Alright, alright, stop thinking about these things. Even if Ye Ming really did find someone, I wouldn’t mind."
"Le Le, that way of thinking is very dangerous. How can you think like that?" Xia Ningning frowned deeply, finding it very incomprehensible.
She was already furious, so why didn’t Xu Lele feel angry at all?
Xu Lele cheerfully said, "Up to now, Ye Ming has saved me twice. I’ve walked into the gates of death twice, and both times he forcefully pulled me back. I can live now thanks to him, what more could I possibly ask for?"
"When I was unconscious, I used to have nightmares every day, replaying my whole life, really thinking I was going to die. But Ye Ming kept creating miracles for me."
"By his side like this, I have no desires, no demands, I just want to peacefully stay with him, and that’s enough!"
"Moreover, we have already discussed it; once we return, we’re going to get our marriage certificate, and nobody can stop us."
"Le Le, you..." Xia Ningning’s voice immediately softened, her heart filled with mixed feelings of anger and envy.
Xu Lele chuckled and said, "Alright then, let’s end the conversation here. We’re preparing our luggage now and will head to catch the plane first thing tomorrow. Once I’m back, we must go out for a big meal together!"
