Sun Yi nudged Ye Chen with her arm and said softly, “What are you going on about? You’re still young, there’s no need to throw your life away.
“The Chen family is scarier than you imagine! Why don’t we do this? You can just pretend to go to the washroom later, then use the chance to find a way to escape. Get as far away as you can.”
After saying that, Sun Yi took a bank card and a car key from her bag, handing them to Ye Chen under the table.
She looked around with her beautiful eyes and said quietly, “Take this card. It has 300 thousand inside, and the PIN is six ones. These are all my savings over the years, and you can take these keys to drive the car away later. Get as far away as you can, and rember, don’t turn back…”
Ye Chen was stunned. He had not expected this girl to care for others even at a ti like this.
“What about you?” Ye Chen turned around and stared at Sun Yi intently.
“Forget about . I’m just a girl, so it’s not like they’ll kill . If you don’t leave now, it’ll be too late…”
Just then, an imposing voice spoke outside!
“I won’t allow anyone to leave this banquet hall today!”
Chen Zhengguo was here!
The doors to the banquet hall were pushed open, and a dozen bodyguards dressed in black suits lined up in two rows!
Their eyes were cold and filled with killing intent!
They were all extrely powerful!
Soon enough, a square-jawed middle-aged man walked in, his expression authoritative and furious!
This was the head of Jiangnan’s Chen family!
An old man followed behind Chen Zhengguo, his back bent but his steps nimble as he swept the room with his gaze.
Ye Chen naturally noticed this old man too, albeit with so surprise. The old man was also a cultivator!
Actually, strictly speaking, the old man was not a cultivator because he did not have a dantian. All he had was a special aura, and according to Ye Chen’s old master, that should an he was one of the ancient martial artists hiding around Huaxia.
“Interesting, to think there’s such a powerhouse in River City too.” Ye Chen’s lips curved.
When Sun Yi saw that Chen Zhengguo was here, her heart sank and she murmured under her breath, “It’s over, this ti we’re done for.”
She could already imagine what was going to happen to the two of them next, but when she glanced at Ye Chen next to her, she nearly blew her top!
The guy was still eating his food ravenously!
Even at a ti like this, he was scarfing his food down like a hungry ghost reincarnated!
Have you never eaten anything before in your life?
“What the heck are you doing?! Chen Zhengguo is here, so how are you still in the mood to eat!”
Sun Yi was on the verge of tears!
Ye Chen hurriedly put a piece of rib into her bowl. “These ribs taste great, trust ! C’mon, give it a taste…”
Sun Yi, “...”
Qian Yong, “...”
Everyone in the hall, “...”
When Chen Feng saw his father arrive, he imdiately dashed forth and wept to Chen Zhengguo, tears and mucus flowing freely. “Dad, this is the guy! He said he wanted to kill
and wipe out the Chen family! He beat up the two guards you assigned to … Oh, and he slapped ! He even said you had to kneel to him… Dad, you gotta do sothing!”
Chen Zhengguo glanced at his son and saw that the latter’s face was all swollen. His expression turned as dark as the night.
Although none of the top dogs in River City were attending this banquet, most of the people here were still River City’s more renowned entrepreneurs. If this got out, his Chen family would be the biggest laughing stock in all of River City!
Suppressing the fury in his heart, he looked at everyone present and said in a tone that brooked no argunt, “Everyone who had a hand in this, I’d advise you to step out now and kowtow to us ten tis. If you do, the Chen family might consider leaving your corpse intact.”
That was the Chen family’s stance!
Everyone’s gazes moved to Ye Chen in unison, and they all expected to see the punk quaking in his boots.
Instead, Ye Chen, the culprit behind it all, was sohow still eating away!
That was right! Make no mistake! He was still eating!
“The heck? Where did this hungry ghost co from? The head of the Chen family has given him an ultimatum, but he’s ignoring him anyway?”
“Did he escape from an asylum?”
“Hey, do you think he’s just trying to enjoy his last al because he knows he’s gonna die?”
“Should be.”
Their gazes on Ye Chen turned to pity.
Chen Zhengguo glanced at Ye Chen’s direction and harrumphed coldly, telling the bodyguards beside him, “Go bring that punk to !”
“Yes, sir!”
The dozen or so bodyguards rushed forth in an instant, and one of them attacked him with a chop of their hands without even saying a word!
Sun Yi could also feel the gusts of wind by her ear, and she hurriedly reminded Ye Chen, “Watch out!”
Just as the chop was about to make contact, Ye Chen finally put down his chopsticks and slanted his body, grabbing the hand with his own!
“You guys are not worth it. Not by a mile.”
His icy voice seed to carry its own brand of magic as it echoed throughout the entire banquet hall.
The bodyguard whose hand was caught stood there, stunned for a mont, but then he recovered and pulled a dagger from his waist, lunging straight at Ye Chen! At the sa ti, he told the others, “The target’s a little tricky, let’s all jump him at once!”
In that instant, seven or eight fists ca flying toward Ye Chen!
It was the verge of life and death!
“Sigh, do you have to make
fight?”
...
Ye Chen shook his head exasperatedly and then with a jolt of his arm, he shook off the bodyguard’s grip! After that, a faint aura seed to expand around him!
There was a loud boom, and the bodyguard went crashing into his comrades’ bodies nearby!
In a re few seconds, the dozen bodyguards were all sprawled across the floor! They were rendered helpless!
In that mont, the whole world went quiet.
It was because such a battle was too much of an assault to their senses!
He was just a skinny and weak young man! His back was even turned against a dozen n!
All he did was attack once!
It had barely been a few seconds, but the whole lot of them had already been taken down?
F*ck, were these bodyguards all f*cking ragdolls?
Sun Yi was utterly dazed! Her breathing was fast, and her chest rose and fell in majestic waves.
She stared wide-eyed at Ye Chen beside her, at a complete loss for words.
...
Did this guy not co from the boonies to sell a formula as a scam? Were even the country doctors so ferocious these days?
“You’re…”
Ye Chen gave Sun Yi a look full of trust and said, “You asked
to shield you from the invitations to drink, right? That’s why— from today onward, I’ll make sure no one will dare to force you to drink even a cup! No one at all!”
With that, he turned around abruptly and pierced Chen Zhengguo with his icy gaze!
Five years ago, Ye Chen was a piece of trash from the Ye family! He had barely survived with his dignity in tatters!
Five years had passed, and now he was back! He was back with a level of cultivation powerful enough to change the world!
Chen Zhengguo was taken aback by his cold gaze too, taking several steps back. Thankfully, the old man behind him supported him.
He felt as though this young man was slightly familiar, but he could not rember who he was.
“Elder Ming, could this guy be…”
Elder Ming nodded and said in his ancient voice, “You guessed right. This man is the sa type of person as I am, but judging by his age, he must have only recently entered these ranks. He is no real threat.”
When Chen Zhengguo heard that, he could not help but heave a long sigh of relief. He said respectfully, “In that case, I’ll leave this to you. Thank you kindly, Elder Ming.”
To outsiders, Elder Ming was just the Chen family butler. Only Chen Zhengguo himself knew that Elder Ming’s position in the Chen family was second only to the old master who was cultivating in Martial Waste Mountain!
Most importantly, Elder Ming was a legendary ancient martial artist! His powers were transcendental!
With his own eyes, Chen Zhengguo had once seen Elder Ming create a crack in the earth with just one finger!
That was how terrifying he was!
Elder Ming was also the main reason the Chen family’s position in River City had been steadily rising over the past few years!
