Chapter 4 Kneeling for Three Days and Three Nights!

Ye Tian's home was located in Sanhe Village. It was a village within the city, mostly consisting of two-story cement houses with narrow roads. At the east end of the village, a crowd of villagers gathered at the entrance of a household. The sound of a little girl crying heartbreakingly could be heard from the courtyard, along with the sinister laughter of a few men. "Let go of me! This piano was bought for me by my uncle. You can't take it away, sob..." The little girl, around six or seven years old, was beautiful and adorable. She tightly held onto the piano cover with her small hands, her knuckles turning white from the force, and her nails were scratched and bleeding. Four adult men were carrying the piano and quickly walking towards the exit. One of them was burly with triangular eyes. When he saw the little girl refusing to let go of the piano, he kicked her away and cursed, "You wild brat, get lost!" The kick from the man with triangular eyes was forceful, causing the little girl to fall to the ground. She clutched her stomach in pain, a thin line of blood flowing from the corner of her mouth. "Yan'er! My dear Yan'er, come over here quickly!" Inside the main room, a partially paralyzed man crawled towards his daughter, propping himself up against the door frame. When he saw his daughter being kicked down, his eyes filled with rage, and he desperately tried to crawl towards her. Triangular Eyes sneered and put down the piano. He walked over to the paralyzed man, spat a mouthful of phlegm on his face, and sneered, "Ye Shaodong, weren't you good at fighting? Back then, in the whole Sanhe Village, you were the only one who dared to confront me, Wang Hu! How about now? Are you still as arrogant?" Ye Shaodong ignored him and continued crawling towards his daughter, deeply worried about her getting hurt. Wang Hu, seeing that Ye Shaodong was ignoring him, became furious. A wicked thought arose in his mind. He grabbed the little girl by her hair and lifted her into the air, sneering, "Ye Shaodong, crawl under my crotch right now! Otherwise, I'll pull out all your daughter's hair!" Ye Shaodong roared, "Wang Hu, let go of my daughter! If you dare to touch her, I'll kill you!" Wang Hu laughed mockingly, "Kill me? With you, a cripple?" Wang Hu was the bully of the village. His father was the village chief, his older brother worked at the police station, and even the head of the street was his uncle. Therefore, he acted arrogantly, and no one dared to provoke him. However, Ye Shaodong had frequently dealt with him since childhood. It was because Ye Shaodong was skilled in fighting, having served in the military and trained in martial arts. He was also hot-tempered. A few years ago, most of Ye Shaodong's family was killed or injured in a construction site accident, and he became disabled. Wang Hu immediately became arrogant and repeatedly came to humiliate Ye Shaodong. Ye Shaodong glared at him with anger in his eyes and shouted, "Wang Hu, even though I, Ye Shaodong, am disabled, I still have brothers. Aren't you afraid that my brothers will come back and kill you?" Wang Hu laughed arrogantly, "Haha, that kid is still in prison! Don't worry, when he comes out, I'll find a way to send him back..." Then, he said viciously, "Ye Shaodong, will you crawl or not?" With a forceful grip, Yan'er screamed in pain, tears streaming down her eyes. "Dad, don't go, sob..." Although Yan'er was young, she knew that this was an extremely humiliating act, so she desperately waved her little hand, trying to stop Ye Shaodong. "How dare you!" At the entrance, a thunderous roar startled everyone. Wang Hu's hand trembled, and he let go of Yan'er, causing her to fall to the ground. A figure flashed, and a tall man appeared, holding Yan'er in his arms. Yan'er was stunned. She looked up at the person holding her, with sharp eyebrows and distinct facial features, his eyes filled with self-blame and doting. Yan'er widened her eyes and exclaimed in joy, "Uncle!" The person was Ye Tian. As soon as he got out of the car, he heard the commotion in the house and rushed in, only to witness the scene that made him furious. His niece was being held by Wang Hu by her hair, and his older brother was lying on the ground, enduring humiliation! He hated, he was angry, he wanted to kill! But holding his niece, his heart softened, and he said softly, "Yan'er, your uncle is back!" Ye Shaodong, a man of iron and steel, teared up when he saw his younger brother, his voice trembling, "Xiao Tian..." Ye Tian held Yan'er with his left hand and gently lifted Ye Shaodong with his right hand, placing him in a wheelchair in the main room. He said, "Brother, I'm home!" Then he turned and stared at Wang Hu. Wang Hu's face turned ugly. How did this guy get out of prison? Wasn't he supposed to have a few more years left in his sentence? Feeling guilty under Ye Tian's gaze, he shouted, "Ye Tian, now that you're out of prison, behave yourself! Your brother owes a debt to the village, and I'm here to collect! If he can't pay, I can only take this piano away!" Ye Tian approached step by step. For every step he took, Wang Hu took a step back, yelling, "Ye Tian, don't mess around, I'm not afraid of you..." Ye Tian stopped three meters away, coldly saying, "Kneel!" With a flick of his right hand, a silver needle pierced the acupoint on Wang Hu's leg. His leg went numb, and he fell to his knees with a thud. "Kowtow!" Ye Tian commanded, flicking his hand again, and several more silver needles flew out, piercing Wang Hu's vital acupoints. His medical skills were extremely advanced, and among his needle techniques was a set of "puppet needles," which could control a person's actions as if they were a puppet. Wang Hu's muscles were suddenly out of his control. He bent over and started kowtowing repeatedly. As he kowtowed, he screamed in pain, his eyes filled with fear. What was happening? It felt like he was possessed! As Wang Hu continued to kowtow, Ye Tian looked at the other three men carrying the piano and coldly said, "Kneel!" These three men were very obedient and immediately knelt down, their scalps tingling, their eyes filled with horror. What was happening? Were they possessed? Ye Tian coldly said, "Kneel for three days and three nights!" He returned to the main room, carrying his older brother to the bed in the bedroom, and said, "Brother, within ten days, I will cure your injuries!" Ye Shaodong thought his younger brother was just comforting him and smiled bitterly, "I don't expect that anymore. Xiao Tian, it's good that you're back. Sigh, if it weren't for Lin Ziyi taking care of me and Yan'er every day, I wouldn't know what to do." Ye Tian trembled all over, as if struck by lightning. Ye Shaodong continued, "Lin Ziyi is a good girl, Xiao Tian, you must treat her well. Our Ye family owes her too much." Ye Tian felt a pang in his heart and asked in a low voice, "Brother, has Lin Ziyi been taking care of you and Yan'er all these years?" Ye Shaodong nodded, "Yes. Our family owed millions of debts, and she helped us pay off a part of it. The money for Yan'er's kindergarten, the money for my treatment, it was all provided by Lin Ziyi." Ye Tian lowered his head and asked softly, "Brother, why didn't Lin Ziyi visit me in prison? Why didn't she contact me?" Ye Shaodong said, "Don't blame her for that. She applied to visit the prison many times, but her requests were never approved." Ye Tian clenched his fists. He immediately realized that he had likely misunderstood Lin Ziyi before! He felt incredibly guilty and continued asking, "Brother, did you receive the letters I wrote to you?" Ye Shaodong was puzzled, "You wrote letters? We didn't receive any. Lin Ziyi wrote you many letters, but you never replied. It made me so angry... If I wasn't physically disabled, I would have rushed into the prison and beaten you up." Ye Tian sighed deeply. He had truly misunderstood Lin Ziyi!
