"I mean, you can lick it!"
As soon as Ye Chen said that.
Xu Yuanhong's face went stiff, and a look of rage and humiliation flashed across his face. However, he didn't dare to do anything.
"Ye, don't cross the line!"
Xu Zhong walked over immediately and grabbed Xu Yuanhong. He glared at Ye Chen hatefully.
"Pa!"
Ye Chen slapped him onto the ground. He lifted his foot and stepped on his face, deforming it. He looked down at him in a condescending manner. "The reason why I'm ignoring you is that I can't be bothered to talk to you. Do you really think you're somebody?"
Xu Zhong panted heavily while his eyes were bloodshot. He wanted to struggle, but Ye Chen stomped on him tightly.
He had never been treated like this before.
Ye Chen said coldly, "Your pride is nothing in my eyes. My Ye family doesn't need any wealthy families because I, Ye Chen, am one!"
Because I, Ye Chen, am rich!
As soon as he said that.
None of the big shots present dared to utter a single word of objection. Instead, they secretly nodded in admiration.
Yes!
People like Grandmaster Ye did not need to seek connections with wealthy families. Wealthy families were not even worth mentioning in his eyes.
The Lord did not see.
The Song Family of Jiang Bei was almost wiped out by him. Only the women, children, and some servants were left.
Xu Yuanhong's mother, who was standing aside, shrieked when she saw what happened to her son and husband. She charged at Ye Chen while baring her fangs, seeming to want to fight him.
"Pa!"
A heavy slap landed on her face, causing her to fall to the ground and powder to fall all over the floor.
She wanted to stand up by instinct, but she met Ye Chen's cold gaze, "If you dare move again, I'll kill you right now!"
She couldn't help but shiver, and her face turned pale. She was scared to the point of peeing in front of everyone.
Xu Yuanhong's heart ached, and it was too late for regrets as he said, "Grandmaster Ye, please don't attack anymore. As long as you're willing to let us go, I'm willing to do anything."
At that moment, Ye Hai and Ye Ming said in unison, "Forget it, Xiaochen. Let them go."
Ye Chen nodded and enunciated word for word while looking at Xu Yuanhong and his son. "Let me ask you guys. Are you guys convinced now?"
"I'm convinced. I'm convinced." Xu Yuanhong nodded repeatedly.
Ye Chen turned his gaze to Xu Zhong beneath his feet. Xu Zhong instinctively wanted to retaliate, but after sensing Ye Chen's murderous intent, all his hatred was instantly replaced by fear.
"I surrender, I surrender!"
"Get lost!"
Ye Chen retracted his leg slowly.
Xu Yuanhong's family of three held onto each other and ran faster than rabbits under everyone's complicated gaze. They seemed to be afraid that Ye Chen would change his mind.
Ye Chen then turned around to look at Ye Ming next to him. He smiled apologetically. "I'm sorry, Second Uncle. I ruined a great engagement party."
"It's not your fault. I was blind earlier. I didn't expect the Xu family to be that kind of people." Ye Ming sighed.
He had always been against this engagement banquet, but his wife, Yang Hui, had always taken the lead.
However, it was good that something like this had happened today. It could be said that he had seen the true colors of the Xu father and son, so that his daughter would not have to suffer when she married into the Xu family in the future.
Yang Hui was still standing at the side in a daze. It was obvious that she had not recovered from the previous scene.
Ye Hai took a deep look at his son. At this moment, he felt that he couldn't understand what was going on. He opened his mouth to ask something, but because there were so many people present, he couldn't bring himself to ask.
"Brother, I'm sorry."
It could be said that today's farce was purely caused by the Xu family.
"It's fine as long as you don't blame me."
Ye Chen smiled calmly and subsequently looked at the 30-odd people before him. Old Master Gu stood before the crowd and clasped his fists. He looked guilty. "Master Ye, it's my family's fault for what happened earlier. I hope you …"
"Old Master Gu, there's no need to say anything. Please preserve the last shred of dignity for us," Ye Chen interrupted him directly.
What he needed were friends and allies, not fence-sitters and fair-weather friends.
When you're rich and powerful, you're surrounded by a group of people who love you from the bottom of their hearts. When you're in trouble, these people scatter like birds and beasts, afraid of being implicated.
Old Master Gu forced a smile upon hearing that.
Gu Yingying, who was standing aside, had a slight change of expression on her pretty face. She seemed to want to say something, but she was stopped by the old master's stare. The grandfather and granddaughter clasped their fists at Ye Chen and turned around to leave.
…
Gu Yingying could not help but ask when they walked out of Dongda Hotel, "Grandpa, our family is different from them. At least we didn't betray Master Ye. But why …"
"Silly girl."
Old Master Gu shook his head helplessly. "This world isn't as simple as right and wrong, black and white. No matter what, our family has wronged Master Ye. Forget it, let's go back …"
"Then, aren't we getting further away from Master Ye?" Gu Yingying turned her head and looked at the hotel's direction reluctantly.
The old master glanced at the few people kneeling at the hotel entrance and sighed softly. "One's always afraid of making the wrong choice in life, and you'll have to pay the price for making the wrong choice …"
…
After Old Master Gu left, Ye Chen looked at the remaining people before him. His expression softened as he chuckled softly.
"Thank you for coming today. I understand what you guys mean. Let's continue like before. As long as you guys don't offend me, we'll all be fine."
"We wouldn't dare, we wouldn't dare …"
The 20 to 30 people present shook their heads at the same time. They smiled apologetically, and there was no sign of them blushing when their thoughts were exposed.
Ye Chen's battle record had truly shocked them. He killed masters and destroyed wealthy families for no reason. If they did not come to build a relationship with him personally, it would be too late to regret if something really happened in the future.
Ye Ming said rather cautiously, "It's rare for all of you to come. Why don't you leave after dinner?"
"There's no need for that. We have something to do."
The people declined and took out a bank card each and placed it on the table. There was even a password on the card. They then left one after another.
"Xiaochen, what do they mean by this?" Ye Ming looked confused as he looked at the tens of bank cards that appeared on the table all of a sudden.
Ye Chen said while smiling, "Second Uncle, this is their gift money to your family. Take it. Otherwise, they won't be able to eat or sleep well."
"Listen to what you're saying. They're giving me money, but I don't want it. Are you saying that they won't be able to eat or sleep well?" Ye Ming was in between tears and laughter. He felt like he was dreaming.
Ye Chen smiled and said nothing. He thought to himself, 'That's true. These people know that I, Ye Chen, am not interested in that bit of money. They don't have the capital to suck up to me, so they're targeting your family. It's considered sucking up to me indirectly.'
Ye Hai looked at the bank cards on the table, feeling rather envious. Subsequently, he asked, "Xiaochen, what about those people kneeling outside?"
Ye Chen's expression turned rather grim as he said to the hostess downstairs, "Get them to come in!"
Soon, the crowd was shocked.
As everyone watched in shock, they saw six old men in traditional attire walk quickly to the third floor of the hotel. As soon as they arrived, they knelt before Ye Chen at the same time. They were very humble.
Ye Hai, Ye Ming, and the rest were dumbstruck again.
Ye Chen stood with his arms behind his back and looked at them expressionlessly. "Leave one billion each and I won't pursue what happened in the past."
One billion!
And it was one billion per person …
As soon as he finished speaking.
Ye Hai's body trembled, and he was so shocked that he almost cried out.
The six of them had a slight change in expression. Among them, Xiangnan's Zhang Family Head gritted his teeth and said, "My Zhang Family has no objections. But I'll have to go back and gather the money."
With him taking the lead, the others hurriedly followed suit. "We have no objections either."
"Alright, we're even now."
Ye Chen nodded and said coldly, "But before I leave, I have something to tell you guys. All of my family members were there, and you guys know them. If anything happens to them, I'll blame it on you guys."
His words seemed calm, but it caused the temperature in the room to suddenly drop by several tens of degrees.
