Chapter 201: Chapter 201

A blue taxi emerged from the alley, its glaring lights causing Li Jing’s eyes to squint involuntarily, but he never shut them until the taxi left the alley and hit the highway, not even blinking despite the intense brightness transitioning into darkness.

It seemed something was amiss, yet upon reflection, Li Jing shook his head, thinking he was being overly cautious.

Tianhe Hotel is a pseudo-five-star luxury hotel with a four-star rating. Zheng Xinru was among the first batch of guests to book a year-round reserved room here, spending five million a year, totaling one hundred million over twenty years. All this money was given to her by Chen Pingrui, and she didn’t hesitate to accept it, as half of that money was earned through her own sweat.

Having just dropped off Zheng Xinru, his mobile phone rang in his pocket.

"Hello, is this Mr. Ye?"

The voice on the other end was unfamiliar; at least, Ye Tian had no recollection of it. Moreover, few knew his phone number.

"Who is this..."

"I’m your friend, have you forgotten?"

Definitely not a good character. Hearing the slick and sly tone, Ye Tian immediately judged the person on the other end of the line.

"I heard your recent business dealings have been quite substantial, associating with renowned and influential figures. Is the playhouse at Tianhecheng enjoyable? It must be good. I saw Sister Zheng entering the hotel alone, how can you, as her protector, still remain outside? That was your mistake."

Ye Tian frowned. "Liu Ping?"

A snap of fingers, the crisp sound was clear, "Clever."

It wasn’t difficult for Liu Ping to get his number given Zhang Xiayang’s reputation, everyone in the circle kept a list of contacts, especially since Liu Laogou’s brain was still in the hands of Zhang Xiayang, Liu Ping would naturally know his phone.

Ye Tian thought for a moment, then asked, "What do you want?"

"Hehe, listen to how you ask that, what could I want from you? Just the usual. How about it, come out for a bit, I’d really like to have a drink with you, it’s my treat."

Ye Tian shook his head, a sneer curling the corners of his mouth, "Young Master Liu, you really can afford to relax, even with your own father dead, you’re thinking about drinking."

"Let’s address things individually, I knew you wouldn’t come."

"I will definitely drink, but not today..."

"I know, Zhen Yulin has already conveyed the message, tomorrow on Nanshan, right? I get it, you’ll set a trap for me on the mountain, and then it’ll all be over. The Liu Family can completely disappear from Tianhe, while you Ye Tian can become famous in one battle and amaze Tianhe. Hmph, Ye Tian, who do you think is stupid! Huh? Let me tell you, nobody is stupid!"

Listening to that nearly hoarse voice on the phone, although Ye Tian had never met this person, he figured he must be one of those hysterical psychopaths.

"Liu Laogou is my dad, he’s dead, but I, Liu Ping, am here to hold up the Liu Family. Chen Pingrui is dead, and the Chen family is just a piece of dog meat. What are you, Ye Tian? You really think having Zheng Xinru will lift you to the sky? Dream on! What makes you capable of holding up the Chen Family, you’re nothing! Zheng Xinru might deceive you, but she can’t fool me. You’re just a gun in her hand, firing wherever she points. Zhang Xiayang was like this before, and now you’re the same, she’ll play you to death!"

Despite his furrowed brows, Ye Tian still didn’t say a word.

"Hmph, not talking now? Zheng Xinru must have put a bug in your phone, right? Hmph, that couple is all the same. I know you must be furious inside. Good, that’s the kind of fury I want. If there’s really a chance, I wish I could talk to you right now, how about it, will you give me the honor? Hm?"

"Let’s still meet tomorrow."

"Hahaha..."

Suddenly, a creepy laughter erupted from the phone, which could truly be used as a special sound effect in a horror movie.

"Li Ruoshui from Fengyu Inn is your little lover, huh? Haha, she’s pretty good-looking! How about you let me have her instead?"

A bad premonition swept over him.

"Liu Ping, if you dare touch a single finger on that girl, I guarantee I’ll make you die miserably!"

"Aiyo, I’m so scared, I’m really terrified! Hehe, I am indeed very eager to see you make my life worse than death, to see who really ends up living worse than death, I really, really, really want to see that!" Then in another cold tone, "Nanshan rear waist, if you don’t want to see your little mistress get raped bloody, you better hurry over!"

What else could be said, Ye Tian wouldn’t dare gamble on anything with the Sword God mentioned by Pig Hu. He hung up the phone, floored the accelerator, and the car shot out like a streak of black lightning, leaving two black tire tracks on the cement floor.

Standing in front of the wide French windows in the hotel, Zheng Xinru, holding a glass of champagne in her hand and attired in a sweeping floor-length gown, watched Ye Tian speeding away. A flicker of worry crossed her face, but it vanished in a moment.

"If he really can’t handle this stress, then he’s not fit to hold up the Chen Family."

On the windowpane was the reflection of a beautiful woman’s face, and on the table, there was a voice recorder playing the sound inside, clearly Ye Tian’s voice, "...if you dare touch a single finger on that girl, I guarantee I will make you die very miserably..."

Ye Tian hadn’t really planned to settle everything with Liu Ping tomorrow night on Nanshan. He didn’t think Liu Ping was that stupid to come alone and then negotiate righteously with him. Ye Tian never underestimated his opponents, because he was not a simple man himself, and anyone who was his enemy surely wouldn’t be simple either.

Time was too tight; even if he called Xu Qingyang and others, it might be too late, not to mention Zhang Houtu and others who were far in Huairou. Li Jing was closer, but she was his sister, and it was unpredictable what trouble she might cause. After considering all options, Ye Tian decided to deal with this matter himself, and he also felt a bit guilty for his own arrangement before; he shouldn’t have assigned Zhang Kai to stay close to Li Ruoshui. If Xu Qingyang were present, Liu Ping’s people wouldn’t stand any chance to benefit.

Driving up the mountain road, this place was a section of abandoned road due to being located in a rock fracture belt, some areas had already cracked open by more than twenty centimeters, the car was terribly bumpy on it. But because of this, it was also a popular spot for car racing enthusiasts. Often, late at night, groups of young people, men and women, could be seen congregating here, their colorful clothes indicating they were likely here for car racing. As Ye Tian drove up the mountain, he could still see a few young people standing around, probably also here for car racing.
