Forced to Marry a Female Billionaire CEO-Chapter 631: Ye Feng

At that moment, Ye Feng painfully opened his eyes. His vision was a blur; he couldn't see anything clearly. A burning, stabbing pain assaulted him from all over, as if someone were tearing his skin from his flesh. A cold sweat beaded on his forehead the instant he regained consciousness. He also felt a sharp pain at the back of his neck and vaguely remembered taking a heavy blow there.

Despite trembling with pain, Ye Feng didn't make a sound. He just desperately tried to focus his blurry vision, wanting to know where he was. His last memory was of Elder Tian drawing a dagger, just before he was about to ignite his True Qi…

Just then, a familiar voice sounded by his ear. "Awake? You're alright now. Relax, you're safe here."

Ye Feng turned his head sharply. When he saw Xu Ke's familiar face, his body immediately relaxed unconsciously. He managed to squeeze out a bitter smile. "How… how is it you?"

"I saved you, so of course it's me," Xu Ke stated matter-of-factly. He had just finished his conversation with Tang Yingchang about the Innate Great Perfection realm when Ye Feng happened to wake up.

Too many questions flooded Ye Feng's mind. Why was he attacked? What happened when he was burning his True Qi? How did he escape? Who was trying to kill him?

He licked his chapped lips and asked with difficulty, "By the time you arrived, I had already started burning my True Qi, hadn't I? How were you able to save me?"

Ye Feng wanted to confirm how Xu Ke had managed to rescue him from such a predicament. After all, he suspected he might have already died from burning his True Qi, and that Xu Ke and Tang Yingchang were merely illusions before death.

"When I arrived, I had Elder Tang knock you out with a Vitality Essence Release. It forcefully interrupted you from burning your True Qi and saved your life," Xu Ke said calmly. Beside him, Elder Tang coughed twice, an embarrassed look on his old face.

Upon hearing this, even gravely injured, Ye Feng was dumbfounded. He stared blankly and asked, "What did you say?" A Vitality Essence Release from an Innate Great Perfection master was blasted at me?

Ye Feng finally understood the reason for the excruciating pain at the back of his neck. So that's where this injury came from!

Hearing this, Xu Ke said in surprise, "That can't be right. There's no way your ears were damaged. I already checked them…"

"You bastard! You really think I can't hear you?" Ye Feng couldn't help but curse, demanding indignantly, "You had Elder Tang blast me… were you trying to save me or kill me?"

Getting hit in the back of the neck by a Vitality Essence Release from an Innate Great Perfection master… Ye Feng felt like he was already one foot in the grave.

"Hey, you can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs. Burning True Qi is a nearly irreversible process, but it can be interrupted by an attack several times stronger than the user. I was just trying to save your life, so don't be mad," Xu Ke said with a grin as he held a cup of water to Ye Feng's lips.

After moistening his lips, Ye Feng gritted his teeth. "I really have you to thank for still being alive."

"You're welcome."

"That wasn't a thank you."

Ye Feng took a deep breath. With Xu Ke's help, he managed to prop himself up against a pillow before asking again, "By the way… I was attacked on the Ye Family's back mountain, right? Why were you there?"

"I suspected you'd be in danger, so I went to the Martial Alliance to find you. Vice Alliance Leader Yuan told me you'd already gone home, so I followed you to your family's back mountain and saved you," Xu Ke explained.

"You…" Ye Feng exclaimed in shock, "How did you know I would be attacked?"

How could Xu Ke have predicted this? He'd never considered that Xu Ke might have arranged the attack. It wasn't because Qin Yu was still in Xu Ke's hands, nor because he had once helped Xu Ke. It was just an inexplicable intuition.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ke fell silent for a moment before speaking. "Everything is right here. You can take a look."

"Once you've read it, you'll know who wants to kill you."

Xu Ke placed the letter from Li Shichuan in front of Ye Feng. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Ye Feng was stunned and instinctively reached for it.

But Xu Ke pulled the letter back. "However, I'd advise you not to read it just yet. Wait until you're feeling a bit better. Now that you're conscious, you can use your True Qi to cooperate with my acupuncture. I can speed up your recovery."

He took out a silver needle, preparing to treat Ye Feng.

Hearing this, Ye Feng stared at the letter, his thoughts a mystery. Finally, he nodded. "Okay."

After the acupuncture, Ye Feng felt much more spirited. His natural recovery ability, combined with Xu Ke's increasingly profound medical skills, meant he healed extremely quickly.

Ye Feng then asked, "By the way, what about the assassin?"

"Dead. The Martial Alliance executed him."

"So quickly? Didn't you interrogate him to find out who was behind it?" Ye Feng was astonished.

He glanced at the clock on the wall. It was just after four in the afternoon, barely two hours since he was attacked. How could the assassin be dead already?

"There was no need to ask. We know who's behind it, but we have no evidence to make an arrest. We could only get rid of the assassin first," Xu Ke said.

"Does this letter contain clues about the person who wants me dead?" Ye Feng looked at Li Shichuan's letter.

Xu Ke nodded.

"Is it Ye Chong?" Ye Feng frowned, the name slipping out instinctively. The only person he could think of with the greatest conflict of interest was Ye Chong.

Xu Ke shook his head.

"Then…" Ye Feng hesitated for a moment. "Is it Fourth Grandfather?"

He was well aware that Ye Taiqing was displeased with him. If Ye Yunfeng hadn't stepped in that morning, he would have been injured. Moreover, Ye Taiqing had come to Tianhai to take the remains and ancestral plaques of Ye Feng's great-grandparents. To command Ye Taiqing's obedience, Ye Yunfeng had ordered Ye Feng to hide those items, using them as leverage. Because of this, Ye Taiqing's hatred for Ye Feng had only intensified. So, Ye Feng thought it wasn't entirely out of the question for Ye Taiqing to hire a killer to achieve his goals sooner.

But hearing the name, Xu Ke still shook his head.

Now Ye Feng was completely bewildered. "Is it an external enemy, then? Besides you and the Wang Family, my father and I honestly have no other enemies right now. Could President Wang have hired the assassin?"

"But that's impossible. Only an insider could have planted a bomb in my car!"

Ye Feng had only suspected Ye Chong and Ye Taiqing for one simple reason: only an insider from the Ye Family could have planted a bomb in the car of Third Young Master Ye.

Seeing the confused look on Ye Feng's face, Tang Yingchang couldn't help but sigh, feeling a pang of pity for the young man.

Xu Ke said expressionlessly, "Forget it. Stop guessing. The one who wants you dead is your father."

At these words, Ye Feng's body went rigid. He looked up, his face a mask of disbelief.

"Impossible!"
