Chapter 42: Mr. Ye, I Was Wrong

Wang Tengfei was confused and very angry for no apparent reason. With so many classmates watching, he could only grit his teeth and seek other connections.

Wang Tengfei called the second-in-command of the development zone.

This person had a good relationship with his father.

As soon as the call connected, Wang Tengfei immediately said, “Mr. Chen, it’s me, Wang Tengfei. I’m having some trouble in the development zone…”

He then explained the situation.

The other party awkwardly replied, “Tengfei, the other party is A Biao’s man, and A Biao is under Master Hong. It’s best if you don’t get involved in this matter.”

Wang Tengfei asked, “Aren’t you going to help at all?”

The other party said, “You should know Master Hong’s status.”

Wang Tengfei was a bit flustered and said, “You can at least put in a good word for me, right?”

The other party chuckled awkwardly, “I’m afraid I can’t help you with that. Sorry.”

Wang Tengfei got angry and said, “Mr. Chen, didn’t you want the Dihao Group to donate some supplies to you? Don’t you want that anymore?”

The other party bluntly stopped pretending to be polite and coldly said, “Wang Tengfei, your father has already been expelled from the Dihao Group. Didn’t you know?”

“Expelled!? When did this happen?”

“Half an hour ago!”

The other party continued, “You should figure things out for yourself before talking.”

With that, he hung up the phone!

Scarface saw Wang Tengfei’s stunned expression and sneered, “What’s wrong? Can’t find anyone?”

Wang Tengfei was about to speak, but unexpectedly, Scarface slapped him across the face, causing Wang Tengfei to stumble and knock over tables and chairs!

The crowd gasped!

Everyone turned pale, but no one dared to step forward to stop Scarface.

“Do you dare hit me?”

Wang Tengfei covered his face, his fair complexion revealing deep anger.

“What if I do?”

Scarface chuckled and kicked Wang Tengfei in the stomach, knocking him to the ground and then proceeded to beat him mercilessly!

Wang Tengfei cried out in pain, but at that moment, no one could help him.

Before long, Wang Tengfei was beaten into a pulp, his face covered in blood, looking terrifying.

Wang Tengfei, frightened, cried and pleaded, “Big brother, big brother, I was wrong! Please stop hitting me!”

“Wrong?” Scarface snorted coldly, “Is being wrong enough? You think you can show off in front of me? If I don’t beat you to death, how will I survive in the future?”

After saying that, he called to the others, “Damn it, beat him hard!”

A group of people rushed up, punching and kicking Wang Tengfei!

Some even used baseball bats to smash him, the scene was horrific.

As Wang Tengfei was being beaten to near death, Scarface walked up to Wang Daokun and coldly threatened, “Your friend is showing off in front of me. Originally, it was 20%, but now it’s 40%! If you don’t agree, his fate will be your example!”

Wang Daokun felt panicked, but if he had to give up 40% of his shares, wouldn’t he be working for these social delinquents?

So he mustered his courage and said, “If you want 40%, you might as well kill me!”

Scarface frowned and coldly said, “Alright! Then I’ll grant your wish!”

With that, he immediately pulled out a shiny dagger from his pocket.

Everyone was shocked, and the female classmates even screamed.

Seeing Scarface about to attack Wang Daokun, Ye Chen immediately shouted, “Put down the knife!”

Scarface turned his head, cursing, “Who the hell wants to die?”

When he turned around and saw Ye Chen, his expression changed from confusion to deep fear, and he suddenly knelt on the ground!

Before anyone could react, Scarface had already thrown away the dagger, slapped himself on both sides of his face, and repented, “Mr. Ye, I’m sorry! I didn’t recognize you were here!”

Ye Chen was slightly taken aback and looked at Scarface, “You know me?”

Scarface nodded vigorously, saying, “Mr. Ye, I’m Biaozi’s subordinate. I’ve seen you at Tianxiang Mansion…”

Ye Chen suddenly understood.

So that’s how it was.

That day at Tianxiang Mansion, the troublemaker was Master Hong’s little brother named Biaozi, and this person was Biaozi’s subordinate.

No wonder he was so scared when he saw me.

Even Master Hong trembled in front of me, let alone a subordinate of a subordinate…

The classmates were all dumbfounded! Liu Lili was also shocked as if in a dream.

Everyone was confused as to why such a fierce underworld boss, who even dared to hit Wang Tengfei, would kneel before Ye Chen, showing such fear.

Xiao Churan was also stunned and asked Ye Chen, “What’s going on? Do you know him?”

Ye Chen, fearing she might misunderstand his connection to the underworld, quickly said, “I don’t know him at all!”

Seeing this, Scarface hurriedly added, “I don’t know, I don’t know! I don’t know Mr. Ye, and Mr. Ye doesn’t know me. I’ve just heard of Mr. Ye’s great name and have always admired him…”

What flattery…

Admiring Ye Chen?

Everyone found it hard to accept this reality; it was simply too surreal!

Scarface quickly said to Wang Daokun, “You’re Mr. Ye’s friend, so from now on, your restaurant will be under my protection, and I won’t charge you a penny for protection fees! If anything happens, I’ll help you settle it!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire room was stunned!

Liu Lili was so excited she almost cried.

The contrast of this day was too stimulating!

Thanks to Ye Chen’s influence, they saved 40% of the shares, and more importantly, this Scarface was willing to protect their hotel for free just to curry favor with Ye Chen!

Now they could run their business without worry!

Ye Chen was practically their savior!

Wang Daokun was also extremely grateful and sincerely said, “Ye Chen, I can’t thank you enough for this.”

Ye Chen smiled, “Why are you thanking me? You’re being too polite.”

Scarface, looking at the already unconscious Wang Tengfei, said with a face full of fear and concern, “I’m sorry, Mr. Ye, I beat your friend…”

Ye Chen replied indifferently, “It doesn’t matter. He’s not my friend, just an acquaintance, and we don’t have much of a relationship.”

After saying that, he added, “You guys take him to the hospital. Don’t let this affect the opening ceremony.”

Scarface immediately nodded, “We’ll take him to the hospital right away! Mr. Ye, you continue, we won’t disturb you!”

With that, he hurriedly called his brothers to carry the unconscious Wang Tengfei and rushed away.

The way everyone looked at Ye Chen changed from disdain to surprise, and from surprise to awe.

No one knew why Ye Chen had such power.

This son-in-law seemed to have transformed into a completely different person!

At the banquet, many people came to curry favor with Ye Chen, including Liu Lili, who had looked down on him before.

Liu Lili now regarded Ye Chen as a true god, constantly thanking him and even offering a lifetime of free meals.

Ye Chen, however, didn’t care about this; he was just giving Wang Daokun a favor and helping him solve a small problem.

But in the eyes of others, what he did today had taken on a magical quality!

Everyone wanted to know what had happened to this son-in-law who relied on others for a living.
