Chapter 179: Chapter 177: The Arrogant Young Master’s Provocation (Fourth Update, Subscription Requested)

Cao Bin stepped out from Elder Li’s place and gave Ye Chen a call.

"Mr. Ye, everything has been settled, thank you. I have already passed the project approval."

Ye Chen smiled faintly, "Mm, by the way, a word of advice: the Cao Family is going to have some big trouble soon. If you want to protect yourself, it’s best to keep your distance from them."

Upon hearing Ye Chen’s words, Cao Bin’s face suddenly changed.

Although his surname is Cao, Cao Bin was just a distant cousin of the Cao Family, and they didn’t usually stay in touch much.

A few days ago, Cao Le had reached out to him, and he originally wanted to ally with the Cao family. But Ye Chen’s warning startled him.

Right after he hung up, a call from Cao Le came in.

"Cao Bin, what are you doing? Didn’t I tell you? You need to delay the Su Family!"

"Sorry, Mr. Cao, we aren’t very familiar with each other. Please don’t contact me in the future."

Bam!

The call ended.

Cao Le was so angry he cursed loudly.

"Cao Bin, you bastard! How dare you hang up on me, you just wait!"

Across from Cao Le sat a middle-aged man.

"Young Master Cao, what’s the matter? Do you need me to take action?"

Cao Le shook his head, "No, but there’s someone I do want to deal with. His name is Ye Chen. As long as you take care of him, our Cao Family will spare no effort to assist you."

"Fine, no one Blood Kill wants dead has ever survived."

"Mr. Qin, rest assured, our Cao Family will provide you with the best logistical support."

Ye Chen drove to the Marriott Hotel.

He walked into the assistant manager’s office, which had become Yan Li’s temporary command center.

In the office, dozens of screens were up, displaying various locations within the hotel.

Looking at Yan Li’s dark circles, Ye Chen laughed, "You don’t have to work this hard."

Yan Li shot Ye Chen a fierce look, "Some people don’t put their heart into it, if I don’t either, who’s going to be responsible if something goes wrong."

"I’ll definitely be responsible for you," Ye Chen replied with a smile.

"You..."

Yan Li was so annoyed that she raised her jade hand to hit Ye Chen, but he caught it.

For some reason, whenever Yan Li saw Ye Chen, she would be thrown into disarray.

"Hmph, Ye Chen, I just want to complete this mission. I’ve been in the military for so many years and have never had an accident. This is also my last mission before I demobilize. I hope it can have a perfect ending."

Ye Chen nodded, "Rest assured, with me around the ending will definitely be perfect."

There’s no denying it, Yan Li is truly beautiful.

Especially her cold demeanor that makes her seem like an ice queen.

As the two people’s eyes met, Yan Li’s heart couldn’t help but become a bit chaotic.

Just then, there was a knock on the door from the outside.

Before Yan Li could say anything, the door was pushed open.

A young man stormed in aggressively.

Ye Chen immediately recognized the guy as a rich kid.

Clad in international brands and wearing a Patek Philippe watch, just these alone cost millions.

This young man’s looks weren’t bad, though not as handsome as Ye Chen, he was still quite dashing.

Seeing the ambiguous interaction between Ye Chen and Yan Li, the rich kid immediately frowned.

"Are you the Ye Chen who’s been pestering Little Li?"

Ye Chen was taken aback; this guy’s words were so confrontational.

Had he been pestering Yan Li? Did he?

Seeing the young man, Yan Li’s eyes suddenly showed a hint of disdain: "Kong Fan, can you not be so boring, Mr. Ye is my friend."

Kong Fan snorted coldly, "Little Li, I just don’t understand, how am I inferior to him? Why would you fancy some nouveau riche like him?"

Ye Chen was utterly confused; he had no relation with Yan Li, so why did this guy look at him as if he were a rival in love?

Yan Li was actually quite flustered. Recently, Kong Fan somehow found out she was at the hotel, and had been pestering her since.

To shake him off, Yan Li directly claimed she already had a boyfriend named Ye Chen.

However, Yan Li did not expect this guy to follow her directly and, more disastrously, run into Ye Chen.

Hearing someone calling him a nouveau riche, Ye Chen became quite annoyed, but he maintained his demeanor, "Yan Li, who is this?"

"First son of the Kong Family, Kong Fan," Yan Li introduced.

Ye Chen nodded, "Oh, I thought it was some big shot, turns out just another rich kid showing off daddy’s influence. Fine, you guys chat, I’m leaving first."

Ye Chen couldn’t be bothered with these spoiled brats.

He already saw how much Yan Li disliked Kong Fan, so he didn’t want to waste time here with such an idiot rich kid.

Indeed, Ye Chen had a soft spot for Yan Li, but it was simply because she had a unique charm different from other women.

As for fighting over her, it hadn’t reached that point yet.

Hearing Ye Chen’s sarcasm, Kong Fan’s face immediately turned unpleasant.

This guy had grown up being pampered. Though it was all because of his father, he particularly disliked others saying he relied on his father.

All along, Kong Fan had also set up his own company, just to prove to others that he relied on his own abilities, not the family influence.

Now, in front of the woman he loved, Ye Chen said he was just a rich kid showing off his dad, which struck a nerve.

"Kid, stop right there, what did you just say?"

Ye Chen halted his steps and looked at Kong Fan mockingly, "Do you have a masochistic tendency? I insult you, you sulk and ask me to do it again. Fine, I’ll indulge you: you’re a moron flaunting your father’s influence. Is that satisfactory?"

Kong Fan was about to go mad.

In his life, who had ever dared to humiliate him like this?

In his eyes, others were supposed to flatter him, he was exalted while others were mere ants.

Kong Fan’s eyes seemed ablaze with fury, "Kid, do you have guts? You just wait!"

Ye Chen couldn’t help but laugh, "Is this it? If you’ve got the guts, come over and hit me. Wait? You lot who rely on your dads have only this much gumption."

Kong Fan was about to lose his mind in rage.

However, he had already learned about Ye Chen, who had been in martial arts films and had skills.

On the other hand, Kong Fan was just a scholar and clearly no match for Ye Chen in a fight.

Moreover, he’d never needed to dirty his hands, he would always instruct his people to handle the fighting for him.

Decorously calling it keeping his hands clean, but truthfully, he couldn’t win in a fight anyway.

Seeing Kong Fan backing off, Ye Chen chuckled, opened the door, and left.

A fierce glint of murderous intent flashed in Kong Fan’s eyes as he picked up his phone: "You guys, block that Ye Chen at the door and beat him up, beat him to death and it counts on me."

Yan Li immediately frowned, "Kong Fan, what are you doing? Ye Chen is my friend!"

"Friend? Dare to mess with my woman, he’s asking for death," Kong Fan sneered.

Kong Fan just wanted to showcase his might in front of Yan Li, to make her see that he was the superior man.

He suddenly looked at Yan Li and smiled, "Little Li, if you beg me, plead for Ye Chen, I can spare him."

But just then, the door was pushed open again, and surprisingly, Ye Chen had come back.

Ye Chen walked into the office with a faint smile, "Sorry, I forgot my car keys."

Then, Ye Chen looked towards Kong Fan, eyes filled with a chilling gaze, "I just think I heard a dog barking around, talking about having me killed."
