TNIBFT -Chapter 22 Is He Really That Amazing?

One shocking revelation after another poured out of Ye Tian’s mouth, leaving everyone stunned.

Shen Jie’s expression changed drastically. Just who was this Ye Tian? How did he know so much about him?

Ye Shuangxue stood frozen, staring at Ye Tian. A layer of mist welled up in her stubborn eyes. At this moment, Ye Tian looked disheveled, almost like a madman—his hair unkempt, his gaze fierce as he glared at everyone.

But in Ye Shuangxue’s heart, this version of him felt… lovable, dependable.

He was doing this for her, wasn’t he?

So… she also had a father who loved her.

Her father could also, for her sake, stand against everyone like a madman.

Ye Shuangxue trembled with emotion, her lips quivering as she nearly burst into tears.

Xiao Jiang stood behind his sister, his big eyes shining brightly as he looked at Ye Tian with admiration. “Is he… really that amazing?”

“…Mm.”

Ye Shuangxue nodded instinctively, then suddenly realized what she’d done, her little face flushing red.

“You’re talking nonsense!”

The village chief’s expression turned strange as he glanced nervously between Shen Jie and Ye Tian. Aunt Li, on the other hand, was so furious she nearly jumped up, pointing at Ye Tian and cursing loudly: “Bullshit! Your daughter stole our things, and now you’re trying to drive a wedge between my grandson and me. Ye Tian, your heart is more vicious than a snake’s!”

“Oh really?”

Ye Tian looked at the village chief and Aunt Li with disdain.

“When Shen Jie came back this time, didn’t he tell you that his teacher wanted to recommend someone for a position? That he asked you to pool your money, saying that once he made it big, your Shen family would rise with him?”

“You—” The village chief was utterly shocked.

This was such a secret matter—Shen Jie had only mentioned it yesterday at noon after returning home. How did Ye Tian know?

“No need to be surprised. Shen Jie has long known about his true origins. He tricked you into emptying your savings. That money wasn’t for any recommendation—it was to treat his biological mother’s illness. You didn’t know that, did you?”

Ye Tian sneered.

The village chief was dumbfounded.

Aunt Li couldn’t believe it either. Looking at the grandson she had raised, she demanded: “Is what Ye Tian said true?”

“All these years, how have we treated you? And this is how you repay us?”

“Heavens! In my past life, did I commit murder or arson to deserve this…” Aunt Li slapped her thighs and broke down in tears.

The old couple, the village chief and his wife, were in disbelief. The grandson they had raised with their own hands had stabbed them in the back—pretending to be filial while secretly searching for his biological parents, even deceiving them out of all their money.

It was utterly heartless.

Yet, they already believed eighty percent of what Ye Tian had said.

Shen Jie shook his head frantically, panic written all over his face. The refined gentleman from before had completely changed. The onlookers nearby exchanged uneasy glances, unable to believe what they were seeing.

“Evidence? If I’m not mistaken, the evidence is on him.”

After saying that, Ye Tian didn’t hold back—he began searching Shen Jie’s body.

Shen Jie struggled desperately, shouting toward the village chief: “Grandfather, save me! Everything Ye Tian said is false!”

“It’s all false!”

Ye Tian ignored him. When his hands finally felt something hard, he pulled it out and held it up before everyone.

A pale yellow embroidered handkerchief was unwrapped, revealing a vivid green jade bracelet inside.

Holding it high, Ye Tian shouted to the crowd: “What is this?”

“Old woman Li, don’t tell me you don’t recognize it.”

The moment Aunt Li saw the family heirloom bracelet, her legs gave out, and she collapsed to the ground.

The village chief looked like a deflated balloon, his entire body going limp.

The crowd erupted like boiling water: “It really was Shen Jie!”

“Knowing a person’s face doesn’t mean knowing their heart. Not only did Shen Jie steal things, he even framed a little girl—what a waste of all that studying…”

“A thankless wretch! The Shen family supported his education all these years, and this is how he repays them…”

“Looks decent on the outside, but inside he’s nothing but a sneaky thief!”

The crowd looked at Shen Jie with disdain, pointing fingers and whispering insults.

At this moment, Shen Jie—just a 14-year-old boy—had always lived a life where everything seemed to go his way. Wherever he went, he was the center of attention, a favored genius. When had he ever been treated like this? His eyes filled with venom as he glared at Ye Tian.
“Who exactly are you?”

“I’m your father, you little bastard!”

Ye Tian grabbed Shen Jie and threw him onto the snow, then said teasingly to the crowd,
“Why don’t you all go take a look at the wooden chest in his room?”

“If any of your wives’ undergarments were taken by this kid, you’d all be wearing a green hat by now…”

The villagers didn’t fully understand what he meant.

How could there be grass growing on their heads?

But they understood the seriousness of the situation. If something like this happened to an unmarried girl and got out, her entire life would be ruined. Someone immediately lost patience and rushed toward the village chief’s courtyard.

The crowd surged in all at once.

The elderly village chief and his wife couldn’t even take care of themselves, let alone stop them.

Ye Tian looked at the smooth jade bracelet in his hand and clicked his tongue. As expected of the Shen family’s heirloom—it looked incredibly valuable, definitely not something he could afford.

“Give me back the bracelet.”

Aunt Li sat weakly on the snow, glaring at Ye Tian with resentment. If it weren’t for him, none of this would have happened to the Shen family. Everything was his fault.

As if he hadn’t heard her, Ye Tian stuffed the bracelet into his cotton coat and gave a wicked smile. “When the Shen family was confiscated, all your property was seized. The women weren’t even allowed to keep jewelry—so how did you manage to smuggle out something this valuable?”

“That’s a capital crime, you know.”

Ye Tian sneered.

The village chief’s face instantly turned pale. Aunt Li still wanted to argue, but the chief pulled her back. “What heirloom? It’s just a misunderstanding. If you want it, take it. Let’s just live peacefully from now on.”

“But…”

Aunt Li’s eyes reddened. This was the only valuable thing left in the Shen family—their last hope of rising again. Now that Ye Tian had taken it, what did they have left?

She got up and tried to snatch it back, but Ye Tian dodged to the side. She continued, “You, Ye Tian, repay kindness with ingratitude! I’ve treated your family well…”

“Enough!”

Before she could finish, Ye Tian snapped angrily, “My daughter helped your family babysit, wash clothes, gather firewood—working like a servant from dawn till dusk. And what did you give her? A piece of sweet potato and random beatings. You call that kindness? And you expect us to kneel and thank you for it?”

“Don’t try to morally blackmail me. I’ve got no morals, so you’ve got nothing to blackmail.”

After saying that, Ye Tian didn’t spare the Shen family another glance. He picked up his daughter’s small boots and walked over to Ye Shuangxue, speaking softly, “Come on, Dad’s taking you home.”

He bent down, lifted little Shuangxue into his arms, and tucked her swollen red feet into his coat.

Ye Shuangxue felt her body grow light, wrapped in a wave of warmth. She stared blankly at Ye Tian, unable to process what was happening.

Was this really Ye Tian?

Or was she dreaming?

This was the first time she had been falsely accused and not beaten. The first time Ye Tian had defended her—fought for her. Would he really not despise her?

Why did they always frame her and not someone else?

Just as Ye Shuangxue sank into self-doubt, Ye Tian suddenly said seriously: “You were really brave today!”
