Chapter 1023

Kong Delong was just thinking about how to find a topic to get closer to Wang Dongxue when he suddenly received a WeChat message from his mother, Dong Xiuhua.

The content on the WeChat message made him feel as if he had been struck by lightning in an instant.

"You bastard, how did you provoke Ye Chen again?! Gu Weiliang from the Gu family just called and scolded me, saying that you caused trouble again and that Ye Chen wants to extend your punishment period in Jin Ling to two years!"

Kong Delong almost collapsed instantly!

"Two years?! Isn't this killing me?"

"I've only lived in the urban village in Jin Ling for two days, and I'm already almost unable to take it. I don't know how I'll survive the next year. How did this Ye Chen suddenly add another year to my sentence? How did I provoke him?"

Thinking of this, Kong Delong looked at Ye Chen and subconsciously blurted out, "Mr. Ye, I..."

Ye Chen didn't wait for him to speak, directly handed him a cup of tea, smiled faintly, and said, "Come, Mr. Kong, please have some tea. This tea is not bad; I brought it back from out of town. Drink it, and two remains two; don't drink it, and two will become three, and it might even become four or five."

Kong Delong's face immediately became extremely ugly.

He heard the threat in Ye Chen's words clearly and plainly.

"Ye Chen's meaning must be for me not to talk nonsense. If I honestly drink the tea and don't talk nonsense, then I'll stay in Jin Ling for two years. If I don't do as he says, two years might become three, four, or even five..."

Thinking of this, Kong Delong's heart completely collapsed!

"This Ye Chen is simply a devil among devils! How on earth did I provoke you that you have to treat me like this?!"

"Could it be... could it be because of that Wang Dongxue?! Could it be that I offended him just now because I wanted to pick up Wang Dongxue?!"

"Wang Dongxue isn't his woman either! Isn't she just the Vice Chairwoman of the Emgrand Group? What does she have to do with you, Ye Chen? You, Ye Chen, are being way too overbearing..."

Just when Kong Delong was so depressed he wanted to die, others also looked at Ye Chen in surprise, completely unaware of what Ye Chen meant by two becoming three or four.

Xiao Churan asked in surprise, "Ye Chen, what are you talking about? What two becoming three, two becoming four? Why can't I understand..."

Ye Chen smiled slightly and said, "Wife, I'm just playing riddles with Mr. Kong. Last time we met, I found that we both quite like playing riddles, so I just gave Mr. Kong a question."

Xiao Churan nodded lightly and asked with a smile, "Then what is the answer to the riddle?"

Ye Chen smiled, "The answer certainly can't be told. It wouldn't be interesting if I said it."

As he spoke, he pushed the teacup toward Kong Delong again and asked with a smile, "Mr. Kong, I wonder if you would like to drink this cup of tea?"

Kong Delong knew that if he didn't take this cup of tea, he might not be able to leave Jin Ling for the next three or four years.

If he wanted to stop the loss in time, he should drink this cup of tea quickly to avoid further expanding the loss.

Thinking of this, his eyes turned red, and he was almost about to cry out loud on the spot.

"Two years! Living in this kind of city, in that kind of dilapidated urban village for two years, what's the difference between this and being in prison!"

"It might even be worse than being in prison, damn it!"

"What kind of evil did I commit to encounter a beast like Ye Chen who is worse than an animal! Before I met him, my life couldn't have been more carefree. Ever since I met him at Song Wanting's birthday party last time, I haven't encountered anything good in my life!"

At this thought, Kong Delong suddenly exclaimed in his heart: "Damn it! That time I offended Ye Chen, it was also because I wanted to pick up Song Wanting! Is this Ye Chen too much of a beast?! He's already married, and his wife is so beautiful, why is he still blocking me from picking up girls?! Could it be that all of these are his women?!"

Kong Delong felt like dying. Having accidentally bumped into Ye Chen's gun barrel so many times, he only wanted to stay far away from Ye Chen in the future and never wanted to see him again in this life...

Filled with resentment, he had no choice but to compromise with Ye Chen. He respectfully took the teacup pushed by Ye Chen, brought it to his mouth with trembling hands, and said in extreme pain, "Mr. Ye, thank you for the tea you brewed. I'll drink it now!"

After saying that, he gritted his teeth, stomped his foot, picked up the teacup, and drank it all in one gulp.

Drinking this cup of tea was equivalent to tacitly accepting Ye Chen's new arrangement.

The one-year sentence instantly doubled to two years.

Kong Delong was beyond tears, his whole person instantly lost his soul, and he completely lost his spirit.

Dong Ruolin was also a bit surprised at this time.

Others didn't know about the conflict between Ye Chen and Kong Delong, but she knew it clearly.

It was Ye Chen who made Kong Delong ride a bicycle from Yanjing to Jin Ling and suffer in Jin Ling for reform. Now that Ye Chen suddenly started playing riddles with numbers, she immediately had a bad premonition.

Therefore, she asked Kong Delong in a low voice, "Brother Brother Biao Ge, what exactly is going on?"

Kong Delong dejectedly handed his phone to Dong Ruolin. On the phone screen was the WeChat message his mother, Dong Xiuhua, had sent him.

After Dong Ruolin finished reading it, she was instantly dumbfounded!

She didn't expect Ye Chen to be so ruthless, directly doubling her cousin's one-year hardship period.

However, she couldn't spare the time to feel sorry for Kong Delong.

She was reviewing in her heart, reviewing where exactly Kong Delong had offended Ye Chen from the moment he walked in until now.

"Did cousin offend Ye Chen?"

"It doesn't seem so... He has always been very polite to Ye Chen, almost bowing and calling him big brother."

"Did cousin offend Xiao Churan?"

"It doesn't seem so either! Brother Brother Biao Ge is scared to death of Ye Chen and knows that Xiao Churan is Ye Chen's wife. Even if he were given ten guts, he wouldn't dare to have any improper thoughts about Xiao Churan."

"Did cousin offend Xiao Churan's parents?"

"Still no! From the moment he entered until now, cousin's overall performance has been very humble, not at all like a spoiled second-generation heir."

"Then where exactly did he offend Ye Chen?"

Dong Ruolin suddenly fell into deep thought.

Subsequently, her gaze suddenly caught Wang Dongxue, who was secretly observing Ye Chen on the side.

At this moment, her heart suddenly skipped a beat!

"Could it be... could it be because cousin offended Ye Chen after showing interest in Wang Dongxue just now?!"

"But, what does Ye Chen have to do with Wang Dongxue?! Wang Dongxue is the Vice Chairwoman of the Emgrand Group. She has some contact with Xiao Churan, but she shouldn't have much contact with Ye Chen!"

"Besides, even if Ye Chen and Wang Dongxue know each other, why would he vent his anger on cousin because of cousin flirting with Wang Dongxue?"

"Also, the way Wang Dongxue looks at Ye Chen seems a bit wrong! Is... is there some hidden secret in this?!"

Thinking of this, Dong Ruolin's mind was already a mess.

Reason told her that Ye Chen and Wang Dongxue shouldn't have any relationship.

However, intuition told her that the relationship between these two seemed far from as simple as she saw!
