Chapter 11: The Qin Family's Desperate Counterattack
Chapter 11: The Qin Family's Desperate Counterattack
The moment Ye Tian left the Qin estate, the banquet erupted into chaos.
Guests scrambled to check their phones, making frantic calls to their brokers. Some rushed to leave, unwilling to be associated with the sinking Qin Family. The once-grand banquet hall now felt like the site of a funeral.
Qin Feng stood frozen, his fingers clenched around his phone. The red numbers flashing on the screen confirmed his worst nightmare—the Qin Family's largest business had suffered a devastating blow. Billions had been wiped away in minutes.
"That bastard…!" Qin Feng growled, slamming his fist onto the table, shattering his wine glass.
A middle-aged man sitting nearby—Qin Jian, his uncle and one of the Qin Family's top strategists—leaned forward, his expression grim.
"We underestimated him."
Qin Feng turned to him, his voice cold. "What do you mean? He's just some lucky dog!"
Qin Jian shook his head. "No. He's more than that. The way he struck at us... it wasn't random. He timed it perfectly, hitting us right when our stock was at its most vulnerable."
He exhaled sharply. "This was planned. And it wasn't something an amateur could pull off."
Qin Feng's eyes darkened. His mind raced as he recalled the rumors—the Wang Family's downfall, Ye Tian's mysterious rise, the way every move he made seemed calculated.
For years, they had called Ye Tian a worthless fool, a man destined for mediocrity.
But the person who had walked into their banquet tonight… was a monster.
Qin Feng gritted his teeth. "Uncle, what do we do?"
Qin Jian's eyes gleamed with malice. "We hit back."

The Plan to Crush Ye Tian
Within the hour, Qin Feng's team was mobilized. A three-pronged attack was launched:
1. Financial Retaliation – Qin Jian contacted several of the Qin Family's allies to manipulate the stock market, attempting to recover from Ye Tian's strike. If they could find out who helped Ye Tian, they could counter him.
2. Media Smear Campaign – Several news outlets, social media influencers, and reporters were paid off to spread slander about Ye Tian. Rumors of corruption, illegal dealings, and fabricated scandals flooded the internet overnight.
3. A Direct Warning – A group of hired thugs was dispatched to send Ye Tian a "message."
"If he thinks he can humiliate us and walk away unscathed, he's dead wrong," Qin Feng sneered, watching the chaos unfold.
"Tomorrow morning, the entire city will know that Ye Tian is nothing but a fraud."

Meanwhile, in Ye Tian's Penthouse
Ye Tian stood by the floor-to-ceiling window of his penthouse, overlooking the city's skyline. He had expected Qin Feng to retaliate, and he welcomed it.
A phone rang.
He picked it up, hearing the familiar voice of Zhao Chen, his financial strategist.
"Boss, just as you predicted. The Qin Family is trying to recover their stock and launching a smear campaign against you."
Ye Tian smirked. "Let them struggle. They're only making it worse for themselves."
He had already prepared a counterattack of his own.
The Qin Family thought they were hunters.
But they were nothing more than prey.

Later That Night – The Ambush
At midnight, Ye Tian left his penthouse, stepping into his black sports car. He had business to attend to—a meeting with a high-level investor who had ties to the underworld.
However, as he drove down a quiet, dimly lit street, he noticed something.
Six black SUVs were tailing him.
A cold smirk crossed his lips. "They finally showed up."
Ahead, the road was blocked by two more SUVs. The engines revved, and masked men carrying metal pipes and weapons stepped out.
A trap.
The leader, a muscular thug with a scarred face, grinned. "Ye Tian, right? Boss Qin Feng sends his regards."
Ye Tian calmly stepped out of his car. His piercing gaze swept over the group. There were at least twenty men, all trained enforcers.
The scarred thug smirked. "We can do this the easy way, or—"
CRACK!
Before he could finish his sentence, Ye Tian moved.
A lightning-fast punch slammed into the man's chest, sending him flying ten meters back before crashing into an SUV. Blood spewed from his mouth as he fell unconscious on the spot.
The remaining thugs froze in shock.
One moment, their leader had been standing. The next, he was down.
"Kill him!" someone shouted.
The rest charged forward, wielding pipes, knives, and even firearms.
But Ye Tian was already gone.
A shadow flickered through the group.
One man felt his arm snap in half before he even registered Ye Tian's presence.
Another was lifted off the ground by a kick to the stomach, crashing through a car windshield.
The few who managed to pull out guns… never got the chance to fire.
Within seconds, it was over.
Twenty men lay groaning on the ground, broken, bleeding, and unconscious.
Ye Tian dusted off his sleeves. "Pathetic."
He crouched down next to the barely conscious leader and whispered, "Tell Qin Feng… if he wants to play this game, I'll show him what real fear looks like."
Then, without another word, he got back into his car and drove off.

The Morning Headlines
The next morning, the news was not what Qin Feng had expected.
Instead of Ye Tian being slandered…
Every major news outlet reported that a group of unidentified men had been hospitalized after attempting to ambush an 'unknown target.'
Surveillance footage from nearby traffic cameras had been leaked, showing Ye Tian effortlessly destroying all twenty attackers.
The internet erupted.
"Holy sh*t, is this real? This Ye Tian guy fights like a god!"
"The Qin Family tried to attack him and FAILED?! LMAO!"
"Look at how he knocked that guy out in one punch! Damn!"
What was meant to be a smear campaign turned into a massive boost for Ye Tian's reputation.
Qin Feng, who had been expecting to see Ye Tian ruined, instead saw his own family's reputation being mocked online.
His face twisted with rage. "WHO LEAKED THAT FOOTAGE?!"
At that moment, Qin Jian entered the room, his face grim. "It doesn't matter."
Qin Feng clenched his fists. "Then what the hell do we do now?!"
Qin Jian sighed. "We stop underestimating him. If we keep treating Ye Tian like a small-time problem, he'll destroy us."
He looked at Qin Feng, his gaze serious. "We need a new plan."

Meanwhile, Ye Tian's Next Move Begins…
Sitting in a high-end restaurant, Ye Tian leaned back in his seat, sipping a glass of fine wine. Across from him sat a beautiful woman with long, elegant hair and sharp eyes.
Her name was Xia Ling, the CEO of Ling Group, one of the most powerful businesswomen in the city.
She smiled playfully. "I've heard a lot about you, Mr. Ye. Shall we talk business… or something more interesting?"
Ye Tian smirked. "Why not both?"
As the city trembled under the weight of the brewing storm, Ye Tian was already making his next move.
And this time, no one would stop him.
