"Kill...him!"

This time, Qin Ruomeng shouted hysterically.

The armed officers around were already tensely cocking their guns. The bodies of the Seven Fiends lay on the ground; five had their throats slit, one had a hole blasted through its chest, with blood everywhere, and the last one was right next to Qin Ruomeng, still warm. In this situation, the officers' nerves were on edge, and Qin Ruomeng's hysterical roar was undoubtedly a trigger. No one knew when one of them might accidentally fire.

But Qin Ruomeng did it anyway!

Because Fang Zaitian framed Ye Tianfan!

Because Fang Zaitian wanted Ye Tianfan dead!

This was Qin Ruomeng's bottom line, her inverse scale!

Fang Zaitian could cheat in the business world and could resort to underhanded means. Qin Ruomeng would accompany him to the end. Even if the Qin Family fell, Qin Ruomeng could afford to lose and accept it!

But to touch her man, to touch Ye Tianfan, Qin Ruomeng would be the first to refuse!

Seeing Qin Ruomeng in such a hysterical and nearly frantic state, Fang Zaitian couldn't help but nervously swallow. Even though he had perfectly orchestrated everything, including the death of the Seven Fiends, Fang Zaitian never expected that Qin Ruomeng, who had never been involved with underground forces, would become so unhinged!

Even if Fang Zaitian was astute and could anticipate his enemy's actions, controlling everything perfectly.

But he could never control emotions! He couldn't control a woman's emotional changes towards a man!

Fang Zaitian was extremely tense; he was scared.

He feared that Ye Tianfan would really kill him in front of everyone.

He feared Qin Ruomeng's hysterical scream would make the armed officers accidentally fire.

Because Fang Zaitian knew that if Qin Ruomeng were hurt, Ye Tianfan would never let him leave alive!

But just then, Ye Tianfan only smiled faintly, stepped slowly to Qin Ruomeng's side, cupped her delicate face with his hands, and when she was about to say her next words, Ye Tianfan pressed his lips on Qin Ruomeng's.

The scene looked a bit bizarre.

Hundreds of armed officers surrounded them, their dark muzzles aimed at their heads.

Yet the two involved were kissing.

After the kiss, Ye Tianfan's eyes were full of tenderness. Looking at Qin Ruomeng, he whispered, "You are already my woman now, don't be so willful. Be the noble lady you're supposed to be. You're going to be the head of the Qin Family someday; leave these violent matters to me."

"But..."

Qin Ruomeng's eyes reddened.

"There's no 'but.' I still like you acting like a lady." As he spoke, Ye Tianfan took Qin Ruomeng's hand, gently stroked it, and said, "Promise me, these hands, never touch blood."

"I..."

Qin Ruomeng cried, tears streaming down her face.

At this moment, Ye Tianfan turned his head, raised his hands high, and walked to an armed officer, indicating he would resist no more.

And that officer, too, took out handcuffs and ruthlessly cuffed them on Ye Tianfan's wrists.

"Husband!" Qin Ruomeng cried out, then suddenly hugged Ye Tianfan from behind and said, "Don't worry, I'll definitely get you out!"

Ye Tianfan nodded and whispered, "I believe."

Before his words finished, Ye Tianfan glanced at Fang Zaitian, hiding among a group of officers. A flash of killing intent passed through his eyes as he coldly said, "Your life, I will collect it someday!"

Fang Zaitian let out a long sigh. Ye Tianfan ultimately didn't make a move against him in front of all the officers.

Fang Zaitian won this gamble!

Ye Tianfan was escorted to the police car, and Qin Ruomeng was also taken into custody.

The only difference was, Qin Ruomeng was quickly released because she was the Qin Family's young lady. She had no motive to kill, nor the capability. The police investigation made it clear; this matter had nothing to do with Qin Ruomeng.

But Ye Tianfan was different!

Though he wasn't responsible for the arson in Lingnan District, he had indeed killed the Seven Fiends! Caught red-handed, with undeniable evidence, Ye Tianfan confessed without arguing.

Even though the Qin Family promptly spent a lot of money to use their connections, no one dared to cover up a murder case! Even with Elder Qin himself involved, the situation could not be reversed.

The court sentenced Ye Tianfan to the death penalty!

Originally to be executed immediately, it's now deferred for a month.

What Elder Qin could achieve was only this; extending the sentence was already substantial.

"No!" In the courtroom's audience section, Qin Ruomeng struggled to her feet, only to be held down by several bailiffs, dragged out of the courtroom.

Frantically, Qin Ruomeng took out her phone and called Elder Qin.

"Grandfather, Ye Tianfan he..."

"I know!" Elder Qin's voice was deep.

"Then please think of another way!" Qin Ruomeng's voice was urgent and harsh. It was the first time she had spoken to her grandfather in such a tone, filled with desperation.

"I've thought of every possible way; this is a major murder case, and it involves seven deaths. Caught on the spot with evidence, it's an ironclad case! There's no overturning it!" Elder Qin's voice also carried some anger.

Even the cunning Qin Wujue couldn't imagine that Fang Zaitian, who had suddenly emerged, would simultaneously trap the Long and Qin families, let alone that his target was Ye Tianfan! Using treacherous deceit to put Ye Tianfan behind bars!

"Grandfather, Ye Tianfan is my husband! You don't want me to be a widow so young, do you?" Qin Ruomeng instantly burst into tears.

"Stop crying!" Elder Qin's voice increased in anger, his tone stern, "Ye Tianfan won't die!"

"What?"

"With Ye Tianfan's skills, which prison in China can hold him? Can a small pair of handcuffs, a little cage, keep the Young Master of the Ye Family? How have I taught you to think? Use your brain!" Elder Qin angrily hung up the phone.

Qin Ruomeng stood there, stunned.

Indeed, with Ye Tianfan's abilities, holding him was almost impossible. Whenever he wanted, he could escape from prison.

And the reason why Ye Tianfan didn't do so was purely for one consideration.

The reputation of the Ye Family!

Ye Tianfan could escape, but where would it leave the Ye Family's face? The Young Master of Ye Family must not bear the taint of being a wanted criminal! Ye Tianfan couldn't face the ancestors of the Ye Family with such a stain!

"Clatter... Clatter..."

The prison doors opened, and Ye Tianfan, with his wrists and ankles shackled, dressed in prison clothes, walked in.

The warden grimly flipped through Ye Tianfan's file, then looked him up and down before speaking, "Wow, even before you came in, connections flooded in for you."

After speaking, the warden stood up, circled Ye Tianfan once, raised an eyebrow and asked, "How come before you even arrived, the Qin, Long, Huang, Lin, and Zhang families, and almost every major corporate leader in Jiangzhou City already stepped in to bail you out? Who are you exactly?"

Looking at the greasy-faced warden in front of him, Ye Tianfan, already in a bad mood, only felt nauseated, and replied irritably, "I'm your grandfather!"
