Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal
Chapter 37 Discovery

Compared to the Su Family that truly flourished under Su Chiming's leadership, the Ye Family had a much longer history and had always pursued a political path.

A hundred years ago, the Ye Family's prestige was at its peak, comparable to that of the noble families, and held the position of the Governor of Tian Nan.

Although the current Ye Family had declined somewhat, with the highest position held being the head of the Security Bureau of Longxiang City, the family was flourishing with abundant offspring spread across various industries in Tian Nan. The number of deputy bureau chiefs, mayors, and ministers was too many to count on one hand.

From this, one could indirectly see the potential of the Ye Family in the political arena.

Over the years, the Su Family had consistently formed an alliance with the Ye Family, eyeing the latter's extensive connections in Tian Nan accumulated over a hundred years to compensate for their own defects in power.

In the affairs of Dayu Country, having money didn't necessarily mean having power, but having power meant that money was just within easy reach.

Thus, during the most glorious period of the Bu Zhou Group, the old master of the Su Family once rose to the position of the wealthiest person in Tian Nan, but in terms of influence, he still fell short of the local parliament-controlling noble families.

Of course, the public was unaware of this.

They simply thought that the Su Family was strong, and although not the strongest in Tian Nan, they were certainly one of the strongest families.

Moreover, in a family, there are main branches and collateral branches.

The older the family, the truer this is.

In the Ye Family, Ye Ziyi was merely a member of a collateral branch, but the woman in the red dress who made Ye Ziyi act, Ye Yiren, was a true direct descendant of the Ye Family.

The current Family Head, Ye Baifeng, was Ye Yiren's biological father.

This was also the reason she dared to watch the excitement without fearing the consequences.

…

"Sister Yiren, look at mine."

Ye Ziyi, excited, began to intentionally pull at Ran Qiu's vulnerable points while addressing another woman beside her, "Zhang Shu, what are you staring at? If you want my car, get moving now, don't let me look down on you!"

The woman trying to break up the fight hesitated, unsure of what to do.

"Don't fight anymore, stop!"

At this moment, Su Yaoyu had arrived at the scene, and seeing that the fight was getting more intense, she couldn't help but shout outside, "Caiyun, Caiyun!"

"Su Yaoyu, you're being no fun."

Ye Yiren raised an eyebrow, "We were all just joking around, having a lot of fun here. Why does it sound like fighting coming from you? Did you call others here to make a bigger issue? Is she qualified for that?"

After speaking, she lightly called out, "Ye Ling."

Immediately, a woman in her thirties rushed to intercept the incoming Caiyun.

At that moment, with a "rip" sound, Ran Qiu's collar was torn open.

If not for the clothes she wore underneath, she would have inevitably been exposed.

Although they were on the second floor, where the private rooms were concentrated…

Many people had already poked their heads out, watching with great interest, even pointing and making comments.

"Is this what you call a joke?"

Su Yaoyu looked at Ye Yiren, "You're going too far."

"We were just joking. Surely the Su Family isn't sore about this, right?"

Ye Yiren shrugged, "If you think you're losing, you can join in too."

After she finished speaking, she glanced behind her at Su Yaoshuang and Su Yaoqin, "There are quite a few people here. Come on, join in. Make the show enjoyable for me. I'll cover the meal today since our families are partners. Isn't that generous?"

By then, the woman named Ye Ling had already blocked Caiyun.

"Stop right there."

She said coolly, "Miss said that this is just a joke among the young ladies of the Ye and Su Families. If you dare make a move, the situation will change. Don't blame us for not playing nice."

"You…"

Caiyun was about to say something.

But at this moment, Su Yaoxue, who had been holding back, seeing Ran Qiu at a disadvantage, couldn't help but shout, "Enough."

The next moment, she stepped forward and precisely grabbed Ye Ziyi's hand that was reaching for her face, and with a clever twist...

"Ah!"

Ye Ziyi let out a painful scream.

Alkaid glanced at Su Yaoxue.

She seemed to have trained in martial arts.

Although she might not even be considered a martial artist, not even being able to beat a physically strong man, dealing with two or three women of similar build was not a problem.

"Full of vigor."

Alkaid made no comment on this.

Offspring of large families were always polarized.

The few who were carefully groomed could truly dictate strategies behind closed doors, maneuver with elegance, and present themselves gracefully, but the rest…

Some would put forth efforts to improve themselves,

while others were just idling, seeking thrills, and playing whatever they found amusing.

At this point, Ye Yiren had realized that with Su Yaoxue's intervention, the excitement would end.

The awkward development would also proceed in a way that was unfavorable for the Ye Family.

She immediately said to a man beside her, "Your sister is being bullied right now; what are you doing standing there?"

After pausing to think for a moment, the man moved forward, reaching out to stop Su Yaoxue.

With his intervention, many eyes naturally turned towards the only "male" from the Su Family side, Alkaid.

"Lei Yun."

Alkaid didn't waste words and simply ordered, "Stop them."

"Yes."

Not far behind Caiyun, Lei Yun strode forward.

"Hold on!"

Ye Ling, who stopped Caiyun, changed her expression and fiercely said, "You better think clearly about the consequences of your actions..."

But Lei Yun ignored her.

When she had been assigned under Alkaid's command by Leng Jun, she had been briefly informed.

This young master of the Su Family, whom she had not yet formally met, was very likely to inherit the Su Family in the future.

Given that he had issued an order now, what she truly needed to do was not to hesitate but to perform well.

With this in mind, she not only got involved in the shoving between the two sides but even took action directly, flinging Ye Ziyi away.

"How dare you!"

This action made Ye Yiren shout in a deep tone.

But Lei Yun completely ignored her, her movements not slowing in the slightest, as she continued to pounce toward the man who had acted.

As his right hand swung toward her, she ducked slightly and struck precisely underneath his armpit, instantly turning his face pale as his entire arm drooped down.

Immediately after, she surged forward, kicking with one foot carrying all her momentum, striking the man squarely in the chest. The man involuntarily staggered back four steps and fell to the ground.

This fierce action instantly changed the expressions of Ye Ziyi, who had been thrown aside, and several people around Ye Yiren.

"You..."

A flash of anger crossed Ye Yiren's eyes as she was about to say something.

But at that moment, a woman in a casual suit next to her whispered in her ear, "This woman is from the Su Family's External Affairs Hall."

External Affairs Hall?

The anger in Ye Yiren's heart instantly cleared.

This organization is also available in the Ye Family.

It is a violent agency specifically dealing with external affairs for the family.

If one were to use a country as a metaphor, the Family Law Hall equates to internal security forces, responsible for handling internal disputes and ensuring personnel safety, while the External Affairs Hall acts as the national army, specifically for warfare against external entities.

Those who can dispatch individuals from the External Affairs Hall are all core members of the family.

Previously, she had said if Su Yaoyu dared to let Caiyun take action, she would escalate the situation, but such escalation, at most, would just make the elders aware and inevitably lead to reprimand.

But now that someone from the Su Family's External Affairs Hall had acted...

That meant it was not just a matter of simple reprimand!

If handled poorly, it was tantamount to both sides tearing their faces apart and going directly to war.

Keep in mind, even if Su Yaoxue called off her engagement, leading to a rift between the Su and Ye families, at most it would result in fewer interactions, with some ties in business still continuing even in the short term.

It was merely the younger generation filled with righteous indignation, incessantly arguing and brawling.

If they really were to tear their faces apart...

Not to mention her, even her brother, who was being groomed as the family heir, did not have the confidence for that.

Instantly, she had no choice but to suppress the rage in her heart, looking at Alkaid, "Who are you? I don't recall the Su Family having someone like you."

"He is Su Alkaid, son of Su Huaifeng."

The woman in the suit spoke in a low voice, providing a brief introduction.

"Him?"

Ye Yiren was somewhat incredulous.

How could a junior who hadn't returned to the Su Family for over a decade possibly command someone from the Su Family's External Affairs Hall?

But today's incident clearly showed that the situation was more compelling than personal authority.

Without understanding why someone from the External Affairs Hall was with Su Alkaid, she could only back down gracefully.

"Since the third young master of the Su Family does not appreciate this kind of joking and brawling, then let it be, let's go."

Ye Yiren said this, waved her hand, and took the indignant Ye Ziyi and others, promptly leaving.

Alkaid did not stop them.

But just as their group was about to go downstairs, two figures hastily arrived.

It was Ye Yuhe and Lin Xiaowei.

Upon seeing Alkaid, Ye Yuhe completely ignored everyone else around and urgently said, "Alkaid... my senior brother wants to meet you."

"Is there a matter?"

Alkaid asked.

"Yes, he wants to ask you..."

Ye Yuhe took a deep breath and lowered her voice, "You repeatedly said... you said what you killed wasn't a person... was there a deeper meaning?"

Alkaid was somewhat surprised.

Then he quickly realized something.

"He encountered it?"

"I don't know."

Ye Yuhe shook her head, "Senior brother didn't tell me. He just hopes we can ask you to meet him."

Alkaid glanced at her, calmly stating, "It seems he encountered it."

Truly encountering that sort of thing, anyone would replace it unbelievable.

It might even severely shock one's worldview.

And as long as one could regain calmness, they wouldn't easily share this matter with people close to them, to avoid dragging them into an uncontrollable whirl of terror.

So next...

Let him see just how much influence a Chief Prosecutor enjoying the treatment of an inspector general truly has.

"A meeting isn't necessary."

Alkaid said, "Tell him, it's just as he understands it to be, just to see if he still has the confidence to continue investigating."

"But..."

"Go."

Alkaid waved his hand.

Ye Yuhe seemed to want to say something else, but Alkaid had already turned and walked back into the private room.

Seeing this, Ye Yuhe sighed and had to leave.

Meanwhile, Su Yaoyu asked the accompanying Lin Xiaowei, "Now that you're here, do you want to join us for a meal?"

"Forget it, if I had wanted, I would have come with you earlier. It's a gathering of you siblings; I'm an outsider, it wouldn't be appropriate," Lin Xiaowei said, waving her hand, catching up to Ye Yuhe.

The two hurriedly left.

Yet, Ye Yiren, who had not yet gone downstairs, saw this scene and pondered.

She immediately called Ye Ling over, "A junior who hasn't returned home for over a decade suddenly being valued by the family, there must be unknown reasons. Follow them and report back to me immediately if there's any situation."

"Yes."

Ye Ling responded and quickly left.

"Su Alkaid, huh? Very well, you've successfully caught my attention," Ye Yiren looked in the direction of the private room where Alkaid and the others had entered, the corner of her mouth curling into a sly smile, "Let's see just how capable you really are."
