Chapter 36: Encountering Lin Xiaoqing Again, Just Fight

Bang!

Before Deng Li could react, Luo Lin kicked her to the ground again. His face twisted with ferocity as he barked, "Listen to me clearly! If anything happens to me today because of you, I will never let you off, you bitch!"

Deng Li, sprawled on the floor with blood spilling from her mouth, trembled uncontrollably with terror. She had never dreamed that Ye Xiaoya—whose family she thought had been wiped out and left powerless—still had an older brother. And this brother was none other than the benefactor of the richest man in the capital and the owner of Yunding Corporation! At this moment, she regretted her actions so deeply that she felt as if her insides were twisted with agony.

Meanwhile, inside the president’s office at Yunding Corporation, Ye Fan looked at Qin Chuan and Zhang Ming, who were bowing respectfully before him. "From this moment on, my sister, Ye Xiaoya, is the president of Yunding Corporation. If any of you look down on her because she is young or a woman, and show her any disrespect, I will not show any mercy!"

After they nodded vigorously in response, his phone rang. Seeing it was the underworld king, Wang Jiu, Ye Fan turned to Qin Chuan and Zhang Ming. "Handle the relevant transfer procedures with my sister now."

Ye Fan nodded to his sister and stepped into the lobby to answer. "Sir, about the welcoming banquet I mentioned—do you have any time this afternoon?"

"Xiao Jiu, is it really necessary?" Ever since Ye Fan had returned to Yunzhou, Wang Jiu had been unfailingly loyal and devoted. In his heart, Ye Fan had long since come to regard him as a brother.

"Sir, you are the Lord of the Dragon Gate. I must host this banquet for you; it is the rule."

Seeing Wang Jiu’s persistence, Ye Fan relented. "Fine, this afternoon it is. I actually have an announcement to make at the banquet." Since his sister had just taken over Yunding Corporation, he intended to use his own status and influence to ensure she was fully protected.

Overjoyed that Ye Fan had agreed, Wang Jiu waited for the call to end before dialing his grand-nephew, Liu Jiang.

Liu Jiang, who had just arrived at the entrance of Yunding Corporation with Lin Xiaoqing, answered, "Uncle, it’s me, Liu Jiang!"

"Liu Jiang, didn't you always want to join the Dragon Gate? I am hosting the Dragon King of the Dragon Gate at the Peacock Tower at two o'clock this afternoon. Make sure you get there; I will introduce you so you can join."

Liu Jiang was ecstatic. "I understand, Uncle! Don't worry, I will be at the Peacock Tower on time!"

He hung up the phone and gave Lin Xiaoqing’s hip a squeeze. "Xiaoqing, do you know what my uncle just told me? At two o'clock this afternoon, I’m going to meet the Dragon King and join the Dragon Gate!"

Lin Xiaoqing was equally stunned. "Brother Liu, the Dragon King you speak of—is he the world-renowned Lord of the Dragon Gate, the hero of our nation?"

Liu Jiang nodded solemnly. "That’s right, the peerless, invincible hero of our country!"

"Brother Liu, I want to see the Dragon King too. Could you satisfy this wish for me?"

*Smack!*

Liu Jiang gave her hip another pinch. "Since you’ve been serving me so well, fine, I’ll take you."

Lin Xiaoqing pouted playfully. "Brother Liu, there’s one more thing. When you see Master Jiu this afternoon, don’t forget about our business."

"Don't worry! It’s just some waste from the Ye family whose entire household was wiped out. Once I see President Shen and get your company matters settled, even without my uncle, the status of my Liu family is more than enough to crush that Ye Fan without breaking a sweat!"

Lin Xiaoqing nodded, and the two walked into the lobby of Yunding Corporation.

"Brother Liu, look, it’s Ye Fan!" Upon entering, Lin Xiaoqing spotted Ye Fan, who had just finished his call and was heading back toward the office.

Liu Jiang followed her gaze and sneered, "Xiaoqing, watch closely. I’ll teach this piece of trash a lesson for you right now."

He strode over, blocked Ye Fan’s path, and said with utter disdain, "Ye Fan, you piece of trash, you're blocking my way. Why don't you get lost?" After the provocation, he goaded him further, "Oh? Are you angry? Do you want to hit me? Hmph, you clueless idiot, I’m standing right here. If you’ve got the guts, try hitting me!"

*Smack!*

Before Liu Jiang could process what happened, Ye Fan swung his hand, sending him reeling with a mouthful of blood. Ye Fan raised an eyebrow. "You want me to try?"

"What?" Enraged, Liu Jiang roared, "You brainless fool, how dare you hit me? Do you know who I am?"

*Smack!*

Before he could react, Ye Fan struck him again, sending more blood flying. His eyes and tone were ice-cold. "I don’t care who you are. You’re acting like a dog relying on its master’s power—do you think I’m going to let you off?"

Staggering and pale with rage, Liu Jiang trembled. "I am the young master of the Liu family in Yunzhou! My father is Liu Chenghu, do you hear me?"

"Liu Chenghu of the Yunzhou Liu family? So he's your father?" Liu Chenghu was the first name on Ye Fan’s list for vengeance.

Hearing this, Liu Jiang grew even more arrogant. "That’s right! And now that you know, are you scared? You ignorant fool, with my family’s status, dealing with you is as easy as crushing an ant! You dared to hit me? You have some nerve!"

*Smack! Smack!*

Ye Fan raised an eyebrow and, before Liu Jiang could recover, slapped him twice more. "I hit the Yunzhou Liu family specifically!"

Just then, Lin Xiaoqing saw Deng Li approaching and shouted, "Deng Li! Deng Li, hurry over here, someone is causing trouble!" Seeing Deng Li running toward them, she whispered to Liu Jiang, "Brother Liu, your friend Deng Li is here!"

Hearing that Deng Li had arrived, Liu Jiang’s confidence surged. He pointed at Ye Fan and shrieked, "You dead man walking, the manager of Yunding Corporation is here! You dared to cause trouble in Yunding, just wait—they will never let you go!"

*Bang!*

Before the arrogant Liu Jiang could finish, Ye Fan kicked him to the ground again, blood gushing from his mouth. Ye Fan’s eyes were cold as he stated, "Forget about a mere manager of Yunding—if someone dares to bully others in front of me, I wouldn't care if the King of Heaven himself were here!"

Before Liu Jiang or Lin Xiaoqing could speak, a stern, angry voice rang out: "How dare you! Who do you think you are to show such disrespect to Yunding Corporation?"

Liu Jiang, spitting blood, scrambled toward Deng Li and pointed at Ye Fan. "Manager Deng, it’s this idiot! He’s causing trouble in the company—kill him for me!"

Deng Li arrived, nodded, and looked in the direction Liu Jiang was pointing. When she realized that the man Liu Jiang was talking about was none other than Ye Fan, the owner of Yunding Corporation, she broke into a cold sweat. Her face went deathly pale, and she began to tremble violently.

She knew that Ye Fan was the benefactor of the richest man in the capital! Given the capital tycoon’s attitude toward Ye Fan, anyone who dared to move against him was an enemy of the richest man in the capital—a man whose wealth could rival a nation and whose single word could cause the entire national economy to collapse.
