CRACK!


With a sickening snap, Feng Xue’s spine shattered!


Another one!


Now, both husband and wife were completely paralyzed from the neck down!


They would never recover—reduced to living corpses, forever unable to move!


At that moment, Chen Zekai stepped forward, his voice reverent and firm.


“Young Master, I’ve mobilized three hundred heavy-duty excavators. They are in position. Just say the word, and they will demolish the entire Tianhao Building Materials Group!”


“Good.” Ye Chen nodded coldly.


His voice commanded absolute authority—“Notify all workers: they have ten minutes to evacuate. In ten minutes, level everything!”


Upon hearing this, Zhou Tianhao and Feng Xue’s souls shattered in despair.


A lifetime’s hard work, reduced to nothing?


They themselves were crippled, forever dependent on others.


And now, their wealth, their legacy, their empire—was about to be wiped off the face of the earth.


But Ye Chen didn’t care.


The fire alarms blared loudly, and within minutes, workers were scrambling for their lives.


Then, Ye Chen carried the unconscious Xiao Churan in his arms.


He ordered his men to drag the crippled Zhou Tianhao and Feng Xue to the factory entrance.


By the time they reached outside, the factory grounds were nearly deserted.


Workers fled in panic, believing the factory was on fire.


By now, three hundred excavators had completely surrounded the complex.


Over a thousand enforcers stood guard, ensuring no one interfered.


Standing in the center of it all, Ye Chen turned to the crippled couple.


His voice was filled with cold finality—


“I want you to witness your empire turn to dust.”


Then, without hesitation, he gave the final order—


“Demolish it all!”


RUMBLE!


Three hundred excavators roared to life, their metal claws tearing into the structures.


BOOM! CRASH!


One by one, the factory buildings collapsed, their foundations crushed, their walls caving in.


Like a massive domino effect, everything crumbled into dust.


Zhou Tianhao and Feng Xue’s eyes filled with horror and grief.


These buildings were their life’s work!


They had built it from the ground up, brick by brick, beam by beam.


And now, before their very eyes, it was all being obliterated!


It was torture—a pain worse than death!


At that moment, they had only one thought—


“We might as well die!”


But no.


Ye Chen wouldn’t grant them the mercy of death.


They were not worthy of an easy escape.


Instead, he looked down at them, his voice low and chilling—


“I will spare your pathetic lives. But hear me well—if either of you dares to reveal my identity, I will ensure that no one in your family survives. Not even your dogs.”


The two cried hysterically, their bodies trembling—


“Young Master! We wouldn’t dare! Even if you killed us, we wouldn’t dare!”


Ye Chen watched them grovel, his expression indifferent.


Only when he saw their crippled, broken bodies, and the ruins of their empire, did he finally feel satisfied.


Then, turning to Chen Zekai, he commanded—


“Call the helicopter. Take me and my wife home.”


Chen Zekai nodded immediately, his voice filled with utmost respect—


“Yes, Young Master! Shall I arrange for a doctor to examine the Young Madam? She might have been drugged.”


Ye Chen waved him off. “No need. Just take us home.”


Upon reaching home, Xiao Churan was still asleep.


Ye Chen carefully placed her on their bed before gently withdrawing his infused energy.


The moment he did, she stirred awake.


As soon as she saw Ye Chen, her eyes filled with tears, and she threw herself into his arms.


“Ye Chen!”


Tears streamed down her cheeks as she sobbed uncontrollably.


Ye Chen held her tightly, stroking her hair soothingly.


“Shh, it’s okay now. You’re safe, love. You’re home.”


Xiao Churan looked around, realizing she was indeed back in their bedroom.


Her eyes widened in shock—


“What about Zhou Tianhao? Did they harm you?”


Ye Chen smiled faintly. “Harm me? No.”


His voice turned cold—“Zhou Tianhao and Feng Xue are both permanently crippled. And their company? It no longer exists.”


Xiao Churan gasped. “How…?!”


Ye Chen shrugged. “I had some friends help out. After we rescued you, their factory suffered a ‘chain explosion.’ The whole place collapsed like a house of cards.”


Xiao Churan’s eyes widened further. “An explosion… destroyed everything?!”


Ye Chen nodded solemnly. “Yes. Seems like karma finally caught up with them.”


Just then, his phone buzzed.


It was a message from Chen Zekai—


“Young Master, the news is live. Media reports confirm: Tianhao Building Materials Group collapsed due to structural failure following a factory explosion.”


Ye Chen smirked and showed Xiao Churan his phone.


The headlines screamed—


“BREAKING NEWS: Tianhao Building Materials Collapses in Tragic Accident! CEO Zhou Tianhao & Wife Critically Injured, Doctors Fear Permanent Paralysis!”


Xiao Churan stared at the screen in disbelief.


“It… It’s true?”


Ye Chen grinned playfully. “I told you, didn’t I?”


Xiao Churan exhaled deeply, murmuring—“Truly, evil begets evil…”


Then, as if remembering something, she grabbed Ye Chen’s hands anxiously.


“When you came for me… that bastard… he didn’t touch me, right?”


Ye Chen caressed her cheek gently, his eyes filled with love.


“Of course not. When I arrived, your clothes were intact. It was actually Feng Xue who interrupted him first.”


Xiao Churan shivered, fresh tears rolling down her face.


“Ye Chen… I’m sorry… I didn’t mean for any of this to happen…”


Ye Chen held her tightly, whispering—


“Don’t say that. This isn’t your fault. If anything, I should be the one apologizing.”


“I should’ve protected you better. I should’ve been there sooner. But I swear—no one will ever harm you again.”


Xiao Churan buried herself in his embrace, feeling an overwhelming sense of security.


For the first time, she truly understood—


Her husband wasn’t just any man.


He was a storm, a shield, a force of nature—


And he was hers.


The City Trembles


That afternoon, news of Tianhao Group’s destruction sent shockwaves through Jinling’s elite circles.


The media spun the story as an accident.


But the powerful families weren’t fooled.


They all knew—


This wasn’t an accident.


Someone had wiped Zhou Tianhao off the map.


And all signs pointed to one man—


The mysterious new king of Jinling…


The enigmatic chairman of the Imperial Group…


The legendary tycoon behind impossible feats…


The one and only—Ye Chen!
