CHAPTER 1986: CHAPTER 1988: SUDDEN UPHEAVALS

Because the spies had been following them, both Ye Zi’an and his father went to the cemetery. An incident occurred just as they were preparing for the burial.

The gravestone of the Luo Family’s ancestor fell!

The Luo Family was naturally shocked by such an event.

When people went up to check, a few men in black unexpectedly flew out from inside. Some of them held hammers, others held shovels, and still others held torches.

Clearly, these were a group of grave robbers. No one expected them to be so bold as to commit grave robbery on the day of the old lady’s burial.

The Luo Family, encountering such an event, would certainly not let it go and vowed to catch this group.

However, unexpectedly, these people were quite formidable, each possessing considerable martial arts skills.

"Catch them, make sure you catch them!"

Old Master Luo shouted in anger, "Everyone go up and help, none of these people can escape."

As soon as he finished speaking, the two secret guards with him went in to help as well.

The skills of the secret guards were not something ordinary people could compare to, and soon these intruders began to show signs of defeat, slowly getting surrounded by the Luo Family’s guards.

But the leader was not willing to be captured just like that.

His eyes scanned the crowd, and he suddenly broke through the encirclement, rushing towards Old Master Luo. The old master was already prepared to be attacked when unexpectedly, his assailant changed course and charged towards Lele.

The speed at which he moved caught everyone off guard.

"Whoever dares to come closer, I’ll kill him!"

Old Master Luo wasn’t going to heed his threats, as the hostage wasn’t his grandson, so he didn’t care much about it.

"Humph, kill them for me, don’t let any of them go!"

To dare to dig up their Luo Family ancestor’s grave, these people truly deserved to die.

"How dare you!" Ye Zi’an roared angrily, "Anyone who acts, I’ll have their life."

"Ye Zi’an! Didn’t you see? They’re digging up the Luo Family’s grave."

"Are you blind? Can’t you see the hostage is my son?" Ye Zi’an glared at him furiously. "It’s merely your grave being disturbed, you can rebuild it later, but if my son is harmed even a bit, I’ll make everyone in the Luo Residence accompany him in death."

Old Master Luo dared not speak out in anger, knowing that Ye Zi’an was a man of his word.

"Humph, that’s more like it," said the leader. "Let us go, or I’ll kill this brat."

His knife was already pressed against Lele’s neck, and with just a little force, he could slit his throat.

"Move your knife away!" Lele said calmly, "If you hurt this prince, you won’t be able to afford it."

The man in black was visibly stunned, then laughed loudly. "So it’s the young prince of the Ye Family! Tsk tsk, now we’ve hit the jackpot. I suppose you must be Lord Ye?"

His words were directed at Ye Zi’an.

"Have them let us go, and give us an additional fifty thousand taels of silver, and we’ll release your son. Otherwise, we’ll definitely kill him."

"Indeed, if worse comes to worst, we’ll die together with your son."

"Die together!"

"Die together..."

About a dozen grave robbers retreated behind their leader, each waving their weapons and shouting incessantly.

Old Master Luo was afraid of Ye Zi’an, but his son was not. He always believed that the relationship between Ye Zi’an and Prince Le was just average. The court was in chaos right now, so even if his son was harmed, Ye Zi’an wouldn’t have the ability to settle accounts with them.

He immediately shouted to the Luo Family’s guards, "Don’t worry about him, don’t let any of these people go, kill on sight, whoever they are!"
