Ma lan was scared out of her wits, closing her eyes and bracing for the blow, but suddenly realized the fierce slap didn't come down.
When she opened her eyes, she was startled!
Her useless son-in-law, Ye Chen, unexpectedly stepped forward at this moment and blocked the slap!
This...
Her mind went blank for a moment, not understanding how her useless son-in-law had become so bold?
Hong Wuye hadn't expected anyone to dare to stand up for these damn women at this moment. He coldly questioned, "Who are you? Do you want to die too?"
Ye Chen smiled faintly and replied, "So, you're Hong Wuye, right? Give me some face. You can beat up that dead dog beside me however you want, but not my mother-in-law!"
Hong Wuye's face darkened. "This woman is your mother-in-law? Then what are you? Do you think you're worthy of me giving you face?"
As he said this, anger surged within Hong Wuye.
He was always respected by countless people in Jinling, but today, he encountered disrespect one after another.
First, there was Wang Yunkai, yelling in front of him, and then there was a disgusting old woman blabbering beside him.
Now, a young man dared to point fingers at him. Did he think Hong Wuye could be easily challenged by anyone?
Thinking of this, he immediately became furious and ordered the people around him, "Kill this ignorant guy!"
Ye Chen smiled faintly and said, "Don't be in a hurry. Let me make a phone call and let the person on the phone talk to you."
With that, he took out his phone and called the person in charge of the White Palace, Chen Zekai.
As the call connected, the other party respectfully asked, "Young Master, what are your orders?"
Ye Chen asked casually, "Do you know someone named Hong Wuye in Jinling?"
Chen Zekai hurriedly replied, "Young Master, I know the one you're talking about. People outside say he's the underground emperor of Jinling, but he's just a little punk!"
Then, Chen Zekai added, "This guy knows I'm from the Ye family and has been trying to suck up to me. He's begged me for a favor and asked me out for dinner several times. I've been ignoring him. Why, Young Master, do you know him?"
Ye Chen casually replied, "Oh, this jerk is trying to kill me now."
Chen Zekai exploded over the phone, "Damn it, does Hong Wuye want to die? He dares to provoke even you, Young Master! Where are you now? I'll bring people over right away and cripple this punk!"
Ye Chen said, "Give him the phone, let him talk to you."
After saying that, he handed the phone to Hong Wuye and said, "Here, take it."
!
Hong Wuye's face was full of suspicion.
What's going on? This guy doesn't seem like he's acting.
Could he really have some remarkable background?
But looking at him, he seemed ordinary, dressed plainly, probably not worth more than five hundred bucks altogether. Even the phone he used was one of those cheap ones worth a few hundred. What could he possibly do? Who could be backing him up?
He felt disdainful in his heart, but Hong Wuye still subconsciously took the phone, asking tentatively, "Hello, I'm Hong Wuye. Who are you? Do you want to support this kid?"
The voice on the other end of the phone, Chen Zekai, cursed angrily, "Hong Wuye! Are you fucking tired of living? You dare to provoke even our young master? Believe it or not, I'll make your entire family of twenty-five people have no place to bury their bodies tonight!"
Hong Wuye recognized the voice. Wasn't this Chen Zekai, whom he had been trying to curry favor with? He said he had offended their young master?
Could it be... this guy in front of him?
Furthermore, the fact that he immediately mentioned his entire family of twenty-five people, did he already know everything about him?
He was the spokesperson for the Ye family in Jinling! The Ye family was powerful; trying to kill him was no different from trying to kill an ant!
As soon as he heard this, Hong Wuye was scared out of his wits.
He blurted out, "Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen, please don't be angry. It was just a misunderstanding between me and the young master..."
"Shut up!" Chen Zekai scolded, "Our young master's identity is highly confidential. If you blabber about it, beware that I'll kill your entire family!"
Hong Wuye trembled all over, shaking even more than someone with Parkinson's disease. He hastily said, "Mr. Chen, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I'll definitely handle this matter properly..."
Just one mention of Mr. Chen was enough to make him grovel. And Mr. Chen was just the ultimate figure to look up to, representing the Ye family in Jinling. One had to look up to them for a lifetime...
But now, he had offended the young master of the Ye family without even realizing it?!
Thinking of this, Hong Wuye's gaze focused on Ye Chen. His legs subconsciously went weak, and he knelt in front of Ye Chen, saying in fear and trepidation, "Mr. Ye, I'm sorry, I didn't know she was your mother-in-law. It was my mistake. Please forgive me!"
With that, he softened his knees and knelt in front of Ye Chen.
Everyone present was dumbfounded, watching Hong Wuye actually kneel and apologize to Ye Chen, the useless one? Even Wang Dashao was nothing in front of Hong Wuye, yet this young man could make Hong Wuye kneel on the ground. What kind of holy being was he?
Hong Wuye's henchmen were also dumbstruck!
Hong Wuye was the underground emperor of Jinling! What kind of young man could make him kneel?!
Ye Chen didn't want to take Hong Wuye's life. After all, it was his mother-in-law who was being beaten, not himself.
And honestly, Ye Chen felt quite satisfied watching his mother-in-law getting beaten!
So he said to Hong Wuye, "I can forgive you this time, but you must return the money you cheated from my mother-in-law, along with interest!"
Hong Wuye felt as if he had been granted a reprieve. He didn't expect Young Master Ye to forgive him. Grateful for this second chance, he hastily knocked his head and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it right away!"
With that, he immediately shouted at Zhou Huaxin beside him, "Why are you still here? Hurry up and handle it! If you drag your feet, beware that I'll break your legs!"
Ma Lan was completely dumbfounded. Was this still her useless son-in-law? Even the renowned Hong Wuye had to kneel down and kowtow to him?
In an instant, Ma Lan felt Ye Chen's image towering and even mysterious in her eyes.
Wang Yunkai, who had received several slaps, was also dumbfounded. Wasn't Ye Chen known as a useless person? Why did even Hong Wuye fear him?
At this moment, Zhou Huaxin came over, pale-faced, carrying a black suitcase. He approached Ma Lan and said in a frightened voice, "Auntie, here's your principal amount of one million three hundred thousand, plus the promised bonus of two hundred thousand, totaling one million five hundred thousand. Here's two million; the remaining five hundred thousand is our apology. Please accept it..."
Ma Lan was completely dumbstruck!
When did her useless son-in-law become so capable?
Not only did he return the principal amount, the promised bonus of two hundred thousand was returned, and they even gave an extra fifty thousand?
