"Shall we continue, then?" Ye Fei suggested.
"No, I'm a bit tired, Auntie. Let's head back," Mu Ling replied, not daring to dance with him any longer.
The final thrust had left her even more damp, and continuing would not only be uncomfortable but also risk her losing control and throwing herself into his arms.
However, she didn't bla Ye Fei for his reaction; after all, she had been the one to lean into him first.
Deep down, she was even sowhat pleased that he had reacted to her.
Ye Fei understood that today's encounter had been sufficient.
A top-tier woman like Mu Ling was ant to be savored slowly. If he had taken her so soon after eting, it would not only have lost much of the fun but also raised doubts about her character.
"Why did you guys co back so quickly?" Xu Weier was puzzled to see her mother and Ye Fei return halfway through the dance.
Mu Ling's face turned slightly red as she said, "I'm just tired, that's all."
"It seems, Mu Ling, that you need to work on your stamina too. You're worn out after just a short dance," Ye Ningsuan teased, her eyes twinkling with mischief as she looked at Mu Ling.
Mu Ling felt uneasy under Ye Ningsuan's gaze, as if she had seen through sothing.
This sensation made her quite flustered, and she quickly tried to explain, "No, it's not that, I..."
If Mu Ling had just let it go, the matter might have ended there. But her attempt to explain only made Xu Weier sense that sothing was amiss. She turned to her mother with concern and asked, "Mom, what's really going on?"
Mu Ling realized that her nervousness had complicated a simple situation. Her heart raced even more, and she was at a loss for words.
However, Ye Fei couldn't let Xu Weier suspect anything, so he said, "Actually, Auntie Mu was bumped into just now. She might have been a bit startled."
"Ah?" Xu Weier was taken aback. She looked at her mother, and upon seeing her nod, she imdiately beca angry. She stood up and said, "Who bumped into my mom? I'll teach them a lesson!"
Ye Fei's brow furrowed slightly as he grabbed Xu Weier's small hand and pulled her back down, saying in a deep voice, "Calm down. The person who will deal with her is on the way."
Xu Weier had never been held by a boy before, except for the brief mont when she had taken Ye Fei's hand in the hall earlier. She had been embarrassed then, and now, feeling Ye Fei's hand on hers, she was flustered.
She wanted to say sothing but quieted down when she realized Ye Fei's tone was serious. She followed his gaze towards the entrance of the hall, forgetting to pull her hand back.
"Bang!" With a loud crash, the hall's doors were forcibly broken down from the outside.
A group of masked individuals stord in, fanning out and pointing their guns at the crowd inside.
The sudden turn of events left everyone stunned.
After a mont of shock, they realized what was happening and quickly crouched or sat down.
The people in the hall were successful businessn and politicians, so although they were panicked, they didn't lose their composure and didn't cause much of an uproar.
At that mont, a middle-aged man with glasses and an unmasked face erged from behind the group of masked individuals.
Compared to the burly masked n, this clearly Asian man appeared quite refined. His tone was also very polite as he said, "Very well, everyone has been very cooperative.
We apologize for interrupting your evening. Rest assured, we are only here for the jewelry on display. Once we have taken it, we will leave without harming any of you."
Pausing for a mont, the refined man nodded with satisfaction when he saw that no one in the hall had moved.
He continued, "The wireless signals in this building have been blocked, and the telephone lines to the outside world have been cut. So, it's best not to think about calling the police. Of course, there might be soone among you with a way to contact the outside world that we are unaware of. But I hope you will remain calm. Otherwise, if the police get involved, it might be inconvenient for everyone, as we might have to use you as hostages."
After saying this, the middle-aged man ignored the crowd and turned to a few people who looked like experts to study the security systems of the display cases.
He understood that even if he found the person in charge here, they wouldn't cooperate in opening the display cases.
After all, the safety of the jewelry was more important than their lives. So, he didn't bother with that.
Seeing that the robbers were relatively polite, Xu Weier, who had been a little scared, let out a sigh of relief. She gently patted Ye Fei's large hand, which was still holding hers, and whispered, "Hey, do you have any way to deal with them?"
"Why deal with them? Didn't they say they just ca to take the jewelry and leave without hurting anyone?" Ye Fei didn't directly answer Xu Weier's question.
Instead, he smiled faintly and said, "And don't you hate those people who show off their jewelry? Letting them lose so money is a small punishnt."
"But they are bad guys. Don't you want to deal with them?" Xu Weier asked, puzzled.
"Have you been watching too many movies?" Ye Fei looked at the girl, who was older than him but had a more naive mind than his young cousin. "I'm not a police officer, nor am I a superhero. Why would I deal with bad guys?"
He thought to himself, as the leader of a criminal gang, if she ever found out his true identity, would she also consider him a bad guy?
Mu Ling, sitting next to them, was startled by her daughter's words and quickly whispered, "Weier, don't be silly!"
"Ye Fei, I think you should step in. Although this isn't our place, it's still in Wang Hai City. If sothing like this happens, it won't look good for our Ye family," Ye Ningsuan said.
In fact, Ye Fei's earlier words were not ant to brush off Xu Weier.
He genuinely felt that way. Wang Hai City was his territory, but these people were clearly transient criminals who wouldn't cause much trouble for the Lingyun Society. More importantly, Ye Fei had no interest in dealing with the extrely boring businessn.
However, since Ye Ningsuan had spoken, Ye Fei naturally wouldn't refuse to give her face. He stood up and walked towards the center, without noticing the excited smile on Ye Ningsuan's lips. She loved to see Ye Fei in action.
Whenever he did, the forty-year-old woman would beco as excited as a little girl.
So, the excuses she had made earlier were just random talk. Her real intention was to let Ye Fei take the lead.
As for whether those people would be robbed, she didn't care at all.
Seeing Ye Fei walk out at Ye Ningsuan's gesture, Xu Weier couldn't help but feel as excited as Ye Ningsuan.
But Mu Ling beca worried. She didn't know why, but she didn't want Ye Fei to get into trouble. She tugged at Ye Ningsuan and said reproachfully, "Ningsuan, why are you following Weier's silliness? What if sothing happens?"
"Don't worry, it won't be a problem. My nephew is not soone who would back down," Ye Ningsuan replied with a smile, her eyes holding a certain depth that made Mu Ling's face turn red again. She had felt it just now—Ye Fei was definitely not soone to be underestimated.
The hardness and the size she could feel through his clothes were simply captivating!
At this mont, Ye Fei's strange behavior caught the attention of the robbers. The refined leader turned to Ye Fei and asked, "Does this gentleman have any questions?" His tone was as if he were chatting with an old friend.
Ye Fei also smiled faintly and said, "You guys are causing trouble on my turf without even giving a heads-up. That's a bit too disrespectful, don't you think?"
"Your turf? May I ask who you are?" The middle-aged man's eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness as he squinted and examined Ye Fei.
"Lingyun Society, Ye Fei!" Ye Fei replied indifferently, but he was intrigued.
When the man had looked at him just now, there was a clear flash of contempt and hostility in his eyes. He clearly recognized Ye Fei, yet he still asked for his identity.
There was definitely sothing going on here.
