Chapter 176

Old Mrs. Xiao's true motive was suddenly exposed by Ye Chen, and she became somewhat flustered.

She had thought that with a little trick, she could have Xiao Churan's family of four under her thumb, especially Ye Chen, that loser, which would be even easier. As long as she let Xiao Hailong and Xiao Weiwei apologize to him and treat him like a human being, he would surely be moved to tears of gratitude.

However, she did not expect that Ye Chen was the only one who remained sober while everyone else was drunk.

Seeing that his motive had been seen through, Old Mrs. Xiao stammered, "We are all one family, we should work together. If one family runs two companies, wouldn't it be a laughingstock if word got out?"

Ye Chen sneered, "Li Jiacheng, the great tycoon in Hong Kong, his son doesn't even work at the same company as him. What's the problem with that? I think you have ulterior motives. The display of true feelings is fake; wanting to trick Churan back to the Xiao Group and help you survive a desperate situation is the truth!"

"You... you..." Old Mrs. Xiao was so angry she couldn't speak. Xiao Changgan, who was on the side, immediately scolded, "Ye Chen, watch your mouth. In this family, you are nothing but an outsider!"

Ye Chen ignored him and turned to his wife, Xiao Churan, saying, "Churan, you must keep your eyes open. Some people just want to use you. Once they are done using you, they will kick you away immediately. Have you forgotten how they treated you after you helped the Dihao Group secure the sixty-million contract? On the surface, they said they would promote you to director, but in reality? At the banquet, they actually publicly announced that they were promoting Xiao Hailong to director. Do you really want to experience such a thing a second time?"

Xiao Churan's expression instantly became incomparably stern.

At this moment, she truly understood everything.

Thanks to the reminder from her husband, Ye Chen, otherwise, she would very likely have fallen for their trap again.

At this time, Xiao Hailong saw that the plan had failed, and in desperation, he pointed at Ye Chen and cursed, "Ye Chen, you stinking loser, is there any room for you to speak here? You dare to point fingers at our family affairs, are you tired of living?"

Ye Chen looked at him coldly and questioned, "What? Can't keep up the act? I'm telling you, Xiao Hailong, from now on, when you see me, you better be respectful, otherwise I will call Hong Wu right now and have him issue a gangland kill order on you, so you won't be able to stay in Jin Ling!"

"Screw your mother!" Xiao Hailong was furious and shouted loudly, "Are you bluffing me? Don't think I don't know what kind of thing you are. Aren't you just someone who knows a couple of tricks to swindle and deceive? Once they see through your tricks, you won't even know how you died."

Ye Chen sneered, "At least they haven't seen through my tricks yet, and at least they still respectfully call me Master Ye!"

After speaking, Ye Chen said with disdain, "You want to keep acting tough, right? Fine, I'll call Hong Wu right now!"

Immediately after, Ye Chen took out his phone, dialed Hong Wu, and conveniently turned on the speaker.

Xiao Hailong was so scared that his face turned pale, and beads of sweat kept falling.

This guy was actually calling Master Hong Wu?!

If Master Hong Wu really wanted to issue a gangland kill order on him, wouldn't he be finished?!

Thinking of this, he immediately cowered and blurted out, "Ye Chen, Ye Chen, I was just joking with you. Don't take it seriously. You are my brother-in-law; we are family."

Ye Chen smiled, "I am not family with you."

As he was speaking, the call went through.

Hong Wu asked respectfully, "Master Ye, what are your orders?"

Ye Chen glanced at Xiao Hailong, who was shaking like a sieve, and said faintly, "Hong Wu, if I asked you to issue a gangland kill order, how many subordinates could you command?"

Hong Wu immediately said, "Reporting to Master Ye, Hong Wu has over ten thousand disciples in Jin Ling. The vast majority of nightclubs, bars, KTVs, and construction sites have my people. As long as you tell me who to issue the gangland kill order against, I guarantee that the number of people looking for him on the streets every day and wanting his life will be too many to count!"

Xiao Hailong was almost scared out of his wits after hearing this. He knelt in front of Ye Chen with a thud and cried, "Ye Chen, my good brother-in-law, I was really just joking with you. Just treat me like a fart and let me go..."

Ye Chen asked him coldly, "What? Not acting tough anymore?"

"Not acting, not acting, I'll never act tough again..." Xiao Hailong was almost scared to death at this moment; how would he dare to act tough in front of Ye Chen?

In Jin Ling, if anyone were issued a gangland kill order by Master Hong Wu, wouldn't the entire underworld swarm over and fight to be the one to hack him?

After all, this was a great opportunity to serve Master Hong Wu and curry favor with him!

Ye Chen held the phone and said coldly, "Since you're not acting tough anymore, let me see your sincerity. Otherwise, I can only interpret this as you temporarily caving in. If I let you go, you'll still act tough with me tomorrow."

Xiao Hailong's heart skipped a beat, realizing that Ye Chen might not let him off so easily. Without a word, he immediately knocked his head against the smooth, hard floor of the hospital, banging it three times.

"Ye Chen, I was wrong! I apologize to you! Please forgive me, don't let Master Hong Wu hunt me down!"

By this point, Xiao Hailong was already in tears, and he regretted it to death.

Was there something wrong with his brain? Why did he have to force himself to act tough in front of Ye Chen? Wasn't this just asking for death? It was uncertain when Master Hong Wu would realize he was a swindler and hack him to death, but if Ye Chen really let Master Hong Wu hack him to death, he probably wouldn't live until tomorrow morning...

Xiao Changgan, seeing his son being humiliated by Ye Chen to the point of kneeling and kowtowing, said angrily, "Ye Chen! Don't go too far!"

Ye Chen asked curiously, "You say I'm going too far?"

After speaking, he immediately said to Hong Wu, "Hong Wu, add another person to the gangland kill order. This time, I want you to hunt down a father and son!"

Hong Wu immediately blurted out, "Master Ye, please rest assured. As long as you give the order, even if it's the King of Heaven, I will hack him without hesitation! Tell me, what are the names of this father and son!"

Xiao Changgan let out an "Ouch," trembling all over from fear.

Damn it...

This kid Ye Chen is too ruthless...

He just said he was going too far, and he wants to hunt him down too?!

His old bones... how could he handle this...

Old Mrs. Xiao had already realized that what was done could not be undone. Fearing that her son and grandson would be harmed again, she hurriedly said, "Ye Chen, let them both go. Just pretend we never came today..."

Ye Chen shook his head, "That won't do. You're already here, how can I pretend you never came?"

Old Mrs. Xiao asked with a trembling voice, "Then what do you want me to do to stop?"

Ye Chen said faintly, "In front of Churan and my father-in-law and mother-in-law, state the true purpose of your visit this time. If you are sincere enough, I will spare them and act as if you never came; if you are not sincere enough, then I'm sorry, this gangland kill order, I, Ye Chen, have decided on it!"
