Chapter 430: Xingyue Lake
Ye Chen glanced at Zhang Jianguo and asked indifferently, "Remember this, don't bully others relying on your connections again."
"I know..." Zhang Jianguo hung his head low, like a child who had done wrong, nowhere near as arrogant as before.
Ye Chen waved his hand dismissively, not bothering to argue with Zhang Jianguo, and turned to Lin Yaru, saying, "Alright, let's continue our meal."
Zhang Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, turned to leave, and simultaneously took out his phone to instruct, "Arrange for someone immediately, I want to kill a dog!"
At the same time, Lin Yaru also took a deep breath and said, "We've finally got rid of the Zhang Family, that's great!"
Although the Lin Family did not fear the Zhang Family, they were nonetheless embroiled with the Black Wolf Gang, which made things rather troublesome. Now that Zhang Jianguo has backed down, the Lin Family wouldn't need to trouble themselves further.
Ye Chen gave Lin Yaru a glance and said with a faint smile, "You're quite clever, knowing that Zhang Jianguo would come after us."
"What's so difficult about that? I sensed Zhang Jianguo's ill intentions long ago," Lin Yaru pouted, "But you, you have quite the nerve, daring to mess with Zhang Jianguo without fear of the Zhang Family seeking revenge later on?"
"If I've done it, I'm not afraid of their retaliation. Besides, the Zhang Family is nothing significant to me," Ye Chen shrugged.
Lin Yaru gave Ye Chen a look and muttered, "Are you really not afraid of their revenge?"
"Of course not."
"Pfft! Bragging!" Lin Yaru rolled her eyes.
Ye Chen just smiled slightly and said noncommittally, "Anyway, they can't do anything to us for now, let's just eat."
"That's right, I'm hungry!"
The two of them resumed their seats and continued their meal and drinks.
On the other side.
After leaving the restaurant, Zhang Jianguo immediately took out his phone and dialed a number, respectfully saying, "Master Long, I have something to report to you."
"Oh? Speak," the voice over the phone conveyed Master Long's authoritative tone.
"It's like this, I encountered Ye Chen today at the restaurant, and he seems to have a close relationship with Lin Yaru, so I'm concerned that he might interfere with your plans..."
"Oh? Ye Chen?" Master Long fell silent for a moment before responding, "Let's wait and see what happens for now. If he dares to disrupt my plans, then don't blame me for not being polite."
"Got it, understood!" After hanging up, Zhang Jianguo's face twisted into a sinister cold smile, "Ye Chen, I'm going to let you know the cost of provoking the Zhang Family!"
...
At nine o'clock in the evening, Ye Chen and Lin Yaru finished their meal.
As they were leaving the restaurant, Ye Chen noticed a BMW X7 parked on the side of the road, with a young man sitting inside.
"Ye Chen?" The young man saw Ye Chen coming out of the restaurant, hesitated for a moment, then immediately rolled down the window and stuck his head out, excitedly waving his arms.
"Kid, so you're Ye Chen!" The young man's eyes burned with fervor, as he had long heard of Ye Chen stirring up lots of trouble in Jiangzhou City, even forcing Zhang Jianguo to kneel!
Such a master exuding his excitement!
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes at the BMW X7 and asked, "Who are you? What do you want with me?"
"Heh, hello, my name is Yang Hao. I'd like to invite you over to my place today to hang out and make friends!" Yang Hao's expression was humble, and he wasn't upset by Ye Chen's demeanor at all.
He had already made up his mind to form a good relationship with Ye Chen!
Such a master certainly had a grand future ahead, and if he could establish connections, it would definitely be immensely beneficial!
"Sorry, I'm not free, and I don't have time to waste on you, get lost!"
Having said that, Ye Chen took Lin Yaru's hand and started walking toward the end of the street, ready to go home and rest.
Yang Hao was left dumbfounded!
"Motherf*cker, this guy is insane, telling himself to scram – he doesn't give a damn about his own dignity!"
"Shit! This dude is downright bullying too much!" Yang Hao cursed angrily, clenching his fists with an uncertain expression on his face, but in the end, he could only leave, swallowing his rage.
Because he was very clear about one thing – Ye Chen's strength was unfathomable, and not someone he could afford to provoke!
...
Night fell.
In Jiangzhou, within a luxurious villa.
"Boss, I've spotted that kid again today."
A middle-aged man stood by the sofa, reporting respectfully, "I've been following that stinky boy today and found that he actually moved into Star Moon Garden."
"Star Moon Garden? That's in the territory of Yunhai Villa!" Yang Hongda, seated on the sofa, frowned.
Star Moon Garden was not a place just anyone could enter, let alone live in!
After pondering for a while, Yang Hongda said, "Inform my second brother about this news! Have him check it out and see who this kid is!"
"Understood!" The middle-aged man nodded his head and retreated.
As the middle-aged man left, Yang Hongda sank into deep thought.
Star Moon Garden was no ordinary area; it's the heart of Yunhai Villa, home only to the rich and noble.
Moreover, Yunhai Villa had a vast backing, one he dared not provoke, so he could only send his own son to probe the reality.
"No matter who you are, anyone who dares to obstruct my plans deserves to die!" Yang Hongda hissed fiercely; he had decided that he must eliminate Ye Chen at all costs.
Not just because Ye Chen's existence interfered with his plans, but more so because... he wanted Lin Yaru to know who truly deserved her.
As the thoughts churned in his mind, Yang Hongda licked his lips, his eyes glinting with lecherous light: "Lin Yaru, once I get my hands on you, I will make sure to treat you right! Hahaha!"
...
Ye Chen was unaware of Yang Hongda's thoughts. After returning home, he freshened up, changed into pajamas, lay down in bed, and prepared to sleep.
But no sooner had he closed his eyes than he suddenly opened them again, his gaze drifting towards the door.
A few seconds later, the door was slowly pushed open, and Lin Yaru tiptoed into the room.
"Why are you not sleeping so late?" Lin Yaru asked, her cheeks blushing.
Although Ye Chen had saved her life and she was very grateful to him, she was still a girl and couldn't help feeling a bit embarrassed.
"I'm used to sleeping in the nude," Ye Chen explained casually and lay down again.
Lin Yaru's face turned beet-red, she glared at Ye Chen, and ran out of the room in sheer indignation.
Watching Lin Yaru's fleeing figure, Ye Chen couldn't help but shake his head with a chuckle and then closed his eyes again.
The night passed without incident, and the next morning at eight, Ye Chen woke up, got dressed, and went out alone to buy breakfast.
After breakfast, Ye Chen hailed a taxi and headed to Xingyue Lake.
Xingyue Lake was the only tourist attraction near Yunhai Villa.
Because of its beautiful environment and the fragrance of flowers and chirping of birds, it was a favorite leisure spot for many enthusiasts.
Ye Chen arrived at the lake, strolled along the shore, breathed in fresh oxygen, and felt exceptionally comfortable.
Suddenly, a sharp screech of brakes sounded, and a black MPV came to a steady stop by the edge of Xingyue Lake.
Following that, a group of people filed out, led by a man who was about fifty years old, who approached with a threatening air.
