Qi Dengxian's shout startled everyone present, including Jingjie.
Ye Feng only saw Qi Dengxian's face clearly when the lights turned on. He was dumbfounded for a moment.
When Qi Dengxian shouted, his back was covered in cold sweat.
"This damn… how could this demon king be here?"
"What are you saying? How dare you disrespect Mr. Ye? Are you looking for death?" A young man rushed up, his temper flaring.
Ye Feng slapped the young man away, then smiled awkwardly at Qi Dengxian.
Jingjie noticed something was wrong. After Ye Feng saw Qi Dengxian's face, his face turned pale, and his hands trembled slightly.
Jingjie couldn't help but frown and whisper, "Sir?"
Qi Dengxian put his hands in his pockets, looked at Ye Feng, and smiled with narrowed eyes. "Little Ye, you're quite something. Only two years out of prison, and you dare to let your woman embarrass me!"
This statement startled Ye Feng. He quickly said with a bitter smile, "Second Leader, what are you talking about? How could I dare let Xiaojing embarrass you?"
"I didn't know you were here, Second Leader. There was a little misunderstanding between me and Xiaojing."
"If I knew you were here to guide work, I wouldn't have dared to utter a word of complaint!"
Hearing this, Jingjie's face twitched. In her eyes, Ye Feng was always like a transcendent being.
But now, Ye Feng was flattering Qi Dengxian with a smile.
The onlookers were shocked by the conversation between the two. What was going on?
Ye Feng, such a big shot, knew Qi Dengxian, and he was afraid of him?
"It seems like Night Demon didn't beat your pale face hard enough last time. You haven't learned your lesson, and you're trying to show off in front of me!" Qi Dengxian said with a smirk.
Ye Feng trembled. Back in prison, he was insubordinate, so Qi Dengxian made him cellmates with Night Demon...
Night Demon was a fierce man who had killed the entire family of the Snow Country general. Ye Feng was almost beaten to death by Night Demon. In the end, he was only able to get transferred to a different cell by groveling and begging Qi Dengxian.
The crowd stared mouths agape, almost biting their tongues. Ye Feng had been beaten by a man named Night Demon?!
Ye Feng smiled awkwardly, not daring to say anything.
"Did you just tell me to kneel and apologize to your woman?" Qi Dengxian said lightly.
"Slap!"
Ye Feng didn't hesitate. He knelt before Qi Dengxian.
"Second Leader, I didn't know it was you. I was just kidding. Don't take it to heart!"
"I'm just like this, talking big and without restraint. You've known me for a few years now, you know how I am!"
Seeing this towering man kneeling and apologizing before Qi Dengxian without daring to breathe, Jingjie's face turned even paler, and her lips began to tremble.
Ye Feng was indeed a big shot, and he was indeed very capable. Otherwise, how could the Dragon Gate branch have specially hired him as a guest?
But even this big shot had to kneel and apologize to Qi Dengxian, not daring to utter a word. It was terrifying!
"Alright, get up. You're a grown man, your knees shouldn't be so soft." Qi Dengxian waved his hand impatiently and sat back on the sofa.
Li Yunwan was stunned, and even bit her tongue to make sure she wasn't dreaming. It hurt, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Ye Feng stood up and smiled awkwardly.
Qi Dengxian was a shadow hanging over his life, a powerful figure he couldn't afford to offend.
Kneeling and losing some face was better than being killed…
The Youdu Prison held all sorts of vicious criminals. Some were simply uncontrollable, no matter how they were treated. But now, everyone inside was obedient. Even if they caused trouble, it was just a minor outburst, nothing serious. They dared not go too far.
Where had those who refused to obey gone? Well, no one wanted to discuss that.
"Xiaojing, this is Mr. Qi Dengxian. You can just call him Second Leader. Come on, drink three glasses of wine to apologize for your rudeness earlier." Ye Feng said with a smile, pulling Jingjie to the front.
Jingjie was full of grievances but didn't dare say anything. She poured three full glasses of wine and raised them towards Qi Dengxian.
"Mr. Qi, I apologize for offending you just now. It was all my fault, please don't take it to heart." After saying this, Jingjie raised her head and drank one glass.
Li Yunwan's eyes widened. She muttered, "Did I see correctly? Jingjie is apologizing and toasting to Qi Dengxian..."
Jingjie picked up the second glass and said, "I acted improperly just now. Please don't mind, Mr. Qi!"
She finished the second glass after saying that.
Two glasses of strong liquor later, Jingjie was slightly drunk, but she still didn't dare to neglect it. She picked up the third glass and said, "The third glass is for you again. I hope you can come to our bar for a drink sometime. All expenses are on the house as an apology. Please don't refuse."
She finished the third glass after saying that.
Jingjie was a mature woman. She spoke and acted smoothly, leaving no room for complaint.
Seeing that she drank three glasses sincerely, Qi Dengxian no longer cared about this trivial matter. He nodded and said nothing more.
"Second Leader, I'll drink to you... haha, you came to Zhonghai without saying anything. I should have welcomed you properly!" Ye Feng said.
"Oh... I assume this is the Second Leader's wife. Sister-in-law, hello! Sister-in-law, have a drink with us, I'll drink to you and Second Leader."
"Come on, Xiaojing, have a drink with us too. One more."
Li Yunwan blushed but didn't explain. She picked up her glass and clinked it with Ye Feng and Jingjie.
She never thought that she would be toasted by Jingjie and Ye Feng at the same time.
And the one who brought all this about was her useless husband, the little prison guard from a remote prison - Qi Dengxian, who was looked down upon by Qiao Qiumei!
Qi Dengxian said, "I'm not angry anymore. You can leave."
Ye Feng smiled, not daring to say more. He pulled Jingjie back to the office.
"Sir, who is that person?" Jingjie asked with a look of astonishment. This was the first time she had seen Ye Feng so humble in front of someone.
Ye Feng swallowed hard and smiled dryly. "Haha... you're better off not asking. Just be careful not to offend him. Otherwise, even ten me's wouldn't be able to save you!"
"He's somewhat related to Yu Xiaolong, is that why you're so afraid of him?" Jingjie pursed her lips and said somewhat unhappily.
"Yu Xiaolong, I wouldn't dare offend, but this one, I wouldn't even dare to anger him! In short, don't ask anymore. Keep your eyes open in the future!" Ye Feng let out a sigh and said bitterly.
When Li Yunwan swayed and got up to pay, she was told by the waiter that Jingjie had already paid for everything.
"I never thought I would get to enjoy a free drink in Jingjie's bar one day..." Li Yunwan felt a mix of emotions. "My luck at finding bargains is simply the best in Zhonghai!"
"Although it's Qiao Qiumei's bargains I'm taking advantage of, it's a little unfair..."
After thinking this, she swayed, and with a bang, she fell into Qi Dengxian's arms.
