The incident happened so suddenly that everyone present failed to react in ti and couldn’t understand why the president of the Chu Group was behaving this way.
"This… What exactly is going on, Mr. Chu? There must be so misunderstanding here," Lin Caixia was frightened to the point of trembling all over.
Originally, she had intended to please Yu Jie by oppressing this fellow in the wheelchair, but now it seed that she had only made matters worse.
"Misunderstanding?" Mr. Chu Xionghe let out a cold laugh and said, "I did not make any mistake, old man Chu has made no error."
Chu Xionghe once again bowed to Ye Feng and said, "Mr. Ye, do you have any instructions regarding this matter?"
Ye Feng’s face remained expressionless as he replied indifferently, "Deal with it as you see fit."
Upon hearing this, Chu Xionghe instantly breathed a sigh of relief, then slowly turned and walked toward Yu Jie.
Without any warning, he slapped Yu Jie with a loud smack.
Yu Jie wanted to dodge, and of course, he could have, but he didn’t dare to and had to obediently take the slap, his face swelling up on one side imdiately.
"Who do you think you are? Daring to openly insult Mr. Ye and even shalessly demanding an apology from him? Do you not know that Mr. Ye is my guest, not just any guest but an honored one?"
Mr. Chu Xionghe berated Yu Jie fiercely, probably not feeling satisfied with just that, he promptly kicked Yu Jie to the ground.
Yu Jie was completely soaked by the red wine that had spilled all over the floor due to the broken wine glass, looking as wretched as could be.
"Boss Chu, there must be so misunderstanding..." Yu Jie wailed.
"Misunderstanding?" Mr. Chu Xionghe nodded and said, "Indeed, there is a misunderstanding, and since there is one, it should be explained clearly."
Yu Jie wanted to plead and explain because he knew that if he begged Hong Qingyan for rcy, he might be able to escape this disaster.
Although he had no idea who the person in the wheelchair was, he could see that this fellow was on very good terms with Hong Qingyan.
But Chu Xionghe was determined to use him as a lesson to show his loyalty to Ye Feng.
"I rember, your little company seems to have business dealings with a subsidiary of my Chu Family, don’t you? From this mont on, that business is gone, and let tell you, having offended Mr. Ye, if your little company can land another order in the future, the Chu Family will turn our signboard upside down!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Jie felt as if his bones had co apart, collapsing to the ground.
All was lost, everything was over…
Yu Jie lay on the ground like a dead dog, knowing better than anyone that for a business empire like the Chu Family, snuffing out his small company would be easier than crushing an ant.
The people around didn’t dare to so much as breathe heavily seeing Yu Jie, who was once so high and mighty, being reduced to nothing more than a wriggling worm because of a single word from the president of the Chu Group.
This was all too dramatic!
Who exactly was the person in the wheelchair that even the president of the Chu Group had to be so courteous? Who was he?
However, Mr. Chu Xionghe couldn’t care less about Yu Jie, who was collapsed on the ground. He turned around and walked back to Ye Feng, bowing again, "Mr. Ye, are you satisfied with the way I handled this?"
Ye Feng’s face showed no emotion, with none of the night’s events provoking even the slightest ripple in his heart. Accustod to grand battles and strife, he often found such petty squabbles boring and uninteresting.
"Enough, considering the dinner tonight, where the vegetarian dishes were quite decent, let’s give him a way out." Finally, Tang Feng spoke up.
"Yes, Mr. Ye, since you ntioned giving him a way out, the Chu Family shall spare him from total ruin," Mr. Chu Xionghe nodded repeatedly.
Ye Feng suddenly felt a bit listless and waved to Hong Qingyan.
Hong Qingyan imdiately understood and began to push the wheelchair out.
But all of a sudden, Lin Caixia rushed over and knelt down with a loud thump, kneeling quite audibly.
"I’m sorry, Mr. Ye, I was ignorant and offended you. It’s like a flood hitting the Dragon King Temple—I, the big brother, have offended you, but I hope you don’t take it to heart. By the way, big brother Ye, I humiliated you earlier by calling you a cripple and I feel extrely guilty in my heart."
As Lin Caixia spoke, she bravely lifted her head and looked at Ye Feng, saying, "If big brother Ye doesn’t mind, to make up for my ignorance and mistakes just now, I am willing to beco your personal attendant from now on. I’ll take good care of you, and as long as you don’t despise , from now on I’ll be at your service."
After saying this, the heavily made-up woman didn’t forget to wink and make eyes at Ye Feng.
The people around almost felt like vomiting upon seeing this. They had seen shaless people before, but never anyone quite as shaless as this.
Hong Qingyan also felt disgusted and quite repulsed, but the kind-hearted girl said nothing, as she looked at Ye Feng, she was also very curious as to how he would choose.
Seriously speaking, Lin Caixia did have so looks to her, and her intentions were very clear with what she just said. If Ye Feng were to agree, then this woman would be his. Such an eagerly offered opportunity would be hard for many n in this world to resist.
However, it’s too bad that although Ye Feng was indeed a man, he was by no ans an ordinary one!
Ye Feng only said indifferently, "A good dog doesn’t block the way; you are blocking my path."
It was just this sentence, Lin Caixia, who a second ago had still been making eyes and gestures, deflated like a punctured ball in the next.
Once Ye Feng finished speaking, he waved his hand, and Hong Qingyan, pushing the wheelchair, left the private room, with Seventeen closely following behind outside the door.
"I’ll see Mr. Ye out." Chu Xionghe ca to his senses and hurriedly chased after them.
The private room remained eerily silent, with no one speaking. The atmosphere seed still oppressive, as soone kindly walked over to help Yu Jie up from the floor.
However, what everyone did not expect was that the first thing Yu Jie did after getting up was to rush towards Lin Caixia and slap her to the ground.
"You bitch, you shaless bitch, actually trying to ingratiate yourself with that cripple right in front of , you really act as if I don’t exist, don’t you!"
Yu Jie roared hoarsely, continually punching and kicking.
Watching this scene, everyone shook their heads. Just now, in the face of Chu Xionghe, he didn’t dare to let out a peep, but now, with the man gone, he took out his anger on soone else - this guy was completely weak, bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
anwhile, Ye Feng had already reached the entrance of the clubhouse, with Chu Xionghe respectfully leading the way in front of him.
Seeing his behavior, Ye Feng frowned and said, "I have a question."
Chu Xionghe nodded and said, "Mr. Ye, if you have any questions, please command."
Ye Feng stared at him intently and said word by word, "I killed your son, destroyed your father, we share an enmity that cannot be resolved under the sa sky. Yet now, you treat with great respect; do you not hate in your heart, do you not want to kill and seek revenge?"
His gaze was sharp as a knife, piercing through the person in front of him, and his words directly targeted the deepest parts of the man’s heart.
Chu Xionghe was silent; after a long while, in the darkness of the night, a long sigh could be heard.
"Since you’ve put it this way, I have nothing to hide."
Chu Xionghe let out a long sigh, then continued, "To be honest, I do hate. The enmity of killing my son and father, we share a hatred that cannot coexist under the sa sky. How could I not hate? But last night, I personally sought out that Iron Face, Yan Xu."
"What did he say?" asked Ye Feng.
"He told sothing about your identity, very vaguely, because even he doesn’t know much. However, he said one thing I rember distinctly. He said if you don’t want the Chu Family annihilated, then stop thinking about revenge."
After speaking, Chu Xionghe let out a bitter laugh, then added, "Actually, as early as the night at the Hong Family’s gate, Yan Xu had already warned my father; it’s just regrettable that I was not present at the ti. It’s too late for regrets now. But speaking of which, I’m also to bla for not educating my son properly.
He was the one who first plotted to murder you, and my father was even more foolish—it was his idea to kidnap Hong Qingyan. All of this is retribution that the Chu Family has brought upon itself."
Ye Feng only responded: "That Yan Xu did not lie."
Chu Xionghe let out a wry smile and said, "Well, I know Mr. Ye must co from an extraordinary background, but I would rather not know more now. Knowing too much can cause trouble, and after living for most of my life, I realize that there is always soone better. It’s just too bad that my father didn’t understand this..."
"I won’t see Mr. Ye out any further, have a good journey!" Chu Xionghe finished speaking and turned to walk back into the clubhouse.
Ye Feng thought for a mont, then suddenly took out a token from his bosom and tossed it over.
Chu Xionghe caught it reflexively and looked at the ancient bronze token, upon which was engraved a Divine Dragon, partially hidden amongst clouds.
"Hidden Dragon Token? What is this?"
"You don’t need to know about this thing, just like you said before, knowing too much can bring trouble. Rember, don’t show this token to just anyone!"
Ye Feng’s gaze was extrely stern, and he said word by word, "Considering your honesty tonight, I will give your Chu Family a chance. Three years from now, have the boy who wore the blue T-shirt that night bring this token to see ."
"In five years, I will teach him Kung Fu. Give him five years to train, and after five years he will have one opportunity to challenge and kill ."
"This..." Chu Xionghe was stunned, his mind unable to grasp the implication imdiately.
"Of course, I do not offer this without conditions. If after five years he can kill , not only would I not regret it, I would actually be happy. But if he fails, he must submit to and serve as my Attendant Guard for a lifeti."
As Ye Feng left, he added just before getting into the car, "Don’t think that serving is sothing shaful; none of my subordinates are useless. If he qualifies to be my attendant, even just as a guard, it’s not impossible for your Chu Family to beco a first-class power in Jiangdu, or even in the whole Southern River Region Jiangnan Province."
After saying this, Ye Feng got into the car and drove away.
In the dark night, Chu Xionghe was left in astonished disarray: "Hidden Dragon Order? Five years to train Martial Arts? An Attendant Guard, just a guard, could elevate the Chu Family to beco a leading power in Jiangdu, even potentially in the entire Southern River Region Jiangnan Province?"
Chu Xionghe was dumbstruck for a long, long ti, finally letting out a long sigh, "Ye Feng, who exactly are you..."
Ye Feng was not a divine being; he did this primarily in consideration of Chu Xionghe’s honesty, but more importantly, during his visit to the Chu Family that night, he spotted a good candidate, a martial arts prodigy with an excellent Innate Bone.
It was after hearing Chu Xionghe’s words that he spontaneously thought of this matter.
Of course, what Ye Feng did not foresee was that his casual action tonight, out of appreciation for talent, would one day create a legendary figure of unmatched renown—a deputy of the Northern Border Sovereign who would strike fear into those dark forces of the world.
