Chapter 23: Chapter 23: Walk Right into the Trap _1
Suddenly, the figure had already arrived in front of Ye Ming, and in his hand, he also held a shiny fruit knife, blocking Ye Ming’s path.
"You bastard, not only did you refuse to take the blame for me, but you also dared to cause trouble at my sister’s wedding! If I don’t teach you a lesson, you’ll really think you’re somebody, won’t you?"
This person was none other than Xu Ling’s younger brother, Xu Chao.
He had committed a crime and was avoiding the Patrol House’s pursuit; he had lived in darkness these past few days, not daring to show his face lightly.
However, the bond between him and his sister was strong. His sister was getting married, and he, as her brother, would naturally make an appearance, so Xu Chao had already witnessed the entire process with his own eyes.
Having seen what his family had gone through, he couldn’t take it anymore and didn’t want to hold back, deciding to go for broke instead.
There was no sign of panic on Ye Ming’s face; instead, he smiled lightly and asked, "Xu Chao, if I’m not mistaken, you should be in the Patrol House’s cells right now."
"You, a fugitive, still dare to show your face openly; you’ve got some nerve!"
"Cut the crap, are you scared?" said Xu Chao viciously, "After I send you to hell, I will naturally turn myself in."
With that, Xu Chao thrust the knife towards Ye Ming’s heart.
His action was swift and ruthless, aimed at putting Ye Ming to death.
Just as the fruit knife was only two centimeters away from Ye Ming’s heart, Ye Ming made his move and grabbed Xu Chao’s wrist with a quick flick of his arm, and a crack was heard.
A squeal like that of a pig being slaughtered filled the air—the arm of Xu Chao was instantly broken.
It was not merely a dislocation but a bone snapped in half, his wrist bones crushed into powder.
The intense pain made Xu Chao unable to restrain himself from kneeling on the ground; the fruit knife also fell to the side.
Upon seeing this, Xu Ling immediately panicked, cursing loudly, "Ye Ming, you deserve to die! It’s inhumane to bring trouble to one’s family like this; are you trying to wipe out my family? I am going to call the police and have you arrested!"
Ye Ming sneered and said indifferently, "Your whole family fails to recognize their own faults. Didn’t you see him trying to stab me just now?"
Xu Ling retorted, "He’s still a child, he was just joking with you, and yet you actually took it seriously. Ye Ming, you’re not only useless, but you’re also a despicable and petty man without any generosity!"
If no one had witnessed the event with their own eyes, these misleading statements might have made everyone truly believe that Ye Ming had done something unspeakable.
Ye Ming, without wasting more words, didn’t want to spend any more time on the Xu Family.
He said slowly, "Say whatever you want. As for calling the police, no need for you to worry, we already reported it. The police will be here any minute."
After dropping that line, Ye Ming left with Xu Lele, no longer caring about the feelings of these people.
"Ye Ming, you and I will never coexist! Just you wait!" Xu Chao shouted vehemently as he watched Ye Ming’s retreating figure.
Just then, two patrol officers burst in from outside and pinned Xu Chao to the ground.
On the side, Zhang Xueping and Xu Daqiang, seeing their daughter’s wedding wrecked and their son arrested, finally couldn’t hold on and passed out.
...
Ye Ming no longer worried about what happened at the wedding venue.
After stepping out, Xu Lele playfully raised her eyebrows and asked, "How was that, not bad for my performance, huh?"
Ye Ming didn’t answer the question, but instead said seriously, "Thank you for what you did just now, for helping me vent this anger."
Xu Lele laughed and asked curiously, "So, how do you plan to thank me?"
"Uh, that..." Ye Ming was somewhat at a loss for words.
Le Le smiled and didn’t press further, instead she said, "Alright, I was just teasing you. Now, come with me to the second floor, I’ll introduce you to them."
After speaking, Le Le naturally took Ye Ming by the hand and led him to the second floor receiving hall.
As Miss Xu personally extended the invitation, those who had just attended Wang Hai’s wedding banquet had already gathered there.
They were no longer discussing anything about Wang Hai and Xu Ling but were focusing all their attention on Le Le.
That included Ye Ming, whom Le Le had brought with her.
Le Le intended to introduce Ye Ming to everyone deliberately because she had previously made a bold statement about wanting Ye Ming to grow rapidly, which naturally couldn’t happen without networking.
"Mr. Ye seems like someone bound for great things, I look forward to our future cooperation!"
"Mr. Ye is such a talented individual, and he matches Miss Xu perfectly, truly a rare match made in heaven."
The compliments were endless, but Ye Ming’s face only bore a slight smile, as he didn’t take these words to heart.
Because he knew that these people were saying all this because of Le Le, and it had nothing to do with him.
Winning genuine respect requires having the ability.
Ye Ming made up his mind secretly that he would definitely earn people’s respect with his own capabilities in the future.
He wasn’t quite used to social climbing through women.
Therefore, when several tycoons wanted to discuss cooperation with Ye Ming, they were all politely declined by him.
Just as the party was at its most harmonious and the atmosphere most jovial, a young man wearing a black trench coat suddenly walked in from outside.
He was handsome enough, sporting a very trendy hairstyle, and upon entering, he immediately went over to Le Le.
"Le Le, how come you didn’t tell me when you came to Hai City?"
The man sat down casually next to Le Le on his own, but his eyes occasionally darted over Ye Ming, carrying a provoking intent.
Le Le felt disgusted by this address and said, "Chen Feng, don’t call me like that. Are we that close?"
The man in front of her was none other than Chen Feng, Le Le’s most troublesome suitor.
He was like a clinging shadow; no matter where Le Le went, he would appear from time to time, an incessant nuisance.
Le Le felt as though she had no way to deal with him.
Only because Chen Feng’s father had a good relationship with the Xu Family, as they were friends for several generations.
The Chen Family was very keen on having Le Le as their daughter-in-law, and the Xu Family was also very eager for Le Le to marry into their family, which would solidify the relationship between the two families even further.
Chen Feng had set his sights on Le Le since they were young.
In this arrangement, the only person who detested the idea was Le Le herself; she loathed Chen Feng.
Ignooring Le Le’s words, Chen Feng carried on as if he hadn’t heard, casually picked up a glass of wine and said, "Le Le, don’t be so distant. We’ve known each other for so many years, why pretend as if we’re strangers?"
"I’ve been busy with work these days and have neglected you a bit. How about we have dinner together tonight? We can catch up properly!"
Possibly sensing Le Le’s impatience, Ye Ming couldn’t help but interject, "Mister Chen, Miss Xu said not to call her Le Le."
"And can’t you see she’s really annoyed with you?"
