The blood on those paper talismans was the best evidence.
“Young Master Bai, have you seen anyone named Ye Chen around here?” Mu Yanbing and Bai Jinghong were old acquaintances by now.
After all, he had once accidentally touched her chest… water droplets, ah… boobs.
Moreover, some matters regarding the Underworld Win Group relied on tips from Bai Jinghong.
“Ye Chen? I know him. I saw him inside. But the venue has cleared out. You won’t waste your time here.”
“You really know Ye Chen?” Mu Yanbing immediately perked up.
Bai Jinghong nodded again: “Yeah, I’m afraid everyone inside knows him.”
“He took a dump in front of over a hundred people at the expo. It’s impossible for him not to be famous.”
This response stunned Mu Yanbing.
She stood there completely dumbfounded.
What kind of situation was this? Taking a dump in front of a hundred-something people?
Even a beast could do that!
But as Mu Yanbing considered it, a realization suddenly dawned on her.
This Ye Chen was definitely a repeat offender.
Taking a dump was likely a self-defiling tactic to try and escape legal responsibility.
You see, acting mentally ill could lead to acquittal, even if his schemes against the Wu family were exposed.
At worst, he could apply for medical parole.
“To find Ye Chen, go to the Dragon Morning Group. He owns it.”
Mu Yanbing nodded: “Thank you for your cooperation, Young Master Bai. We’ll head out then.”
With a case on her hands, Mu Yanbing didn’t speak much more with Bai Jinghong.
She also didn’t dare to keep talking.
This guy was bad, very bad.
He seemed to be talking to her, but his gaze was constantly fixed on her chest.
Wasn’t this blatant, legal harassment? And, last time, he’d actually touched her breast—utterly embarrassing.
Seeing Mu Yanbing inexplicably blush and flee, Bai Jinghong was also a bit bewildered.
But he didn’t dwell on it, taking Qin Chuchu back to the estate.
…
On the other side, Ye Chen did not return to Dragon Morning Group.
Instead, he hid in a villa Wen Tailai had previously arranged for him.
This villa had a nice environment and an excellent location.
Most importantly, it reflected Wen Tailai’s scheming.
Because where Wen Chunyu lived was the neighboring villa.
This was done to match-make Ye Chen with his daughter.
With Ye Chen’s status as the Dragon Lord, if he married Wen Chunyu, in the future, Wen Tailai would have a secure place at the peak of the Dragon Gate.
Once inside the villa, Ye Chen rushed into the bathroom first thing, turned on the tap, and jumped straight into the tub.
Since too much time had passed, the excrement on Ye Chen’s pants had already dried.
But the moment he jumped into the bathtub, it instantly dissolved.
The originally bubbly bathwater immediately became slightly murky.
The smell arose, too.
Ye Chen felt utterly humiliated. He roared twice, writhing in the tub like a maggot in a sea of filth.
“Bai Jinghong! Bai Jinghong! If I don’t kill you, I swear I’m not human!”
Although his pants-soiling wasn’t entirely Bai Jinghong’s doing, the complete loss of face and the humiliation were all fueled by Bai Jinghong’s machinations.
Originally, according to his plan, everything would have gone smoothly. He would’ve made a name for himself, resounding throughout the business world. The Ye family would then seek his help, begging him.
Yet, now his name was indeed resounding in the business circles, but not in a positive way.
First, there was the viral “The Titty Avenger” title; now, he’d likely add “Spurt King.”
Enduring it only made him angrier; stepping back only made it feel more unjust.
“Ah!”
Ye Chen’s eyes were bloodshot. He raised his hand and slammed it heavily into the bathtub water, splashing a large spray of water.
Since he was still roaring, his mouth was open. A good portion of the slightly murky water splashed right into it.
“Yue~”
Ye Chen himself gagged, becoming even angrier.
Angry to the point of trembling.
After cleaning up for a very long time, Ye Chen finally left the bathroom, wrapping himself in a bathrobe.
Four years of discipline in Black Prison had steadied him considerably.
He had just lost control from overwhelming rage. Now, after calming down a bit, he was somewhat composed again.
Holding a glass of red wine, he plotted his next moves once more.
Although his plans were disrupted, they weren’t necessarily irreparable.
Going forward, the Ye family was one aspect, but two more important matters had to be handled.
First: He absolutely had to woo Yun Mengxi.
As a Feng Shui master, Ye Chen was certain that Yun Mengxi was his true, destined maiden.
The reason he was rather unlucky now was that he hadn’t found the matching person to completely overturn his past destiny.
Once he was with Yun Mengxi, everything would definitely go smoothly. He firmly believed this.
As for the second point: Jiang Yueying!
He absolutely had to stir up all possible conflict between Jiang Yueying and Bai Jinghong.
If he could get Jiang Yueying to deal with Bai Jinghong, he could save a lot of effort and reap the benefits.
Perhaps he could even win the beauty’s heart.
Unfortunately, the people watching the Jiang family had no news to report. He also didn’t know what Jiang Yueying was playing at, being such a shut-in and never leaving her house.
It was truly frustrating.
Therefore, the foremost task was to pursue Yun Mengxi.
With this as a foundation, even matters concerning Jiang Yueying would proceed smoothly afterward.
Thinking of this, Ye Chen dialed Yun Mengxi’s number.
There had simply been too many people at the expo today. Furthermore, his focus had been entirely on his plans and feng shui.
He hadn’t noticed Yun Mengxi, who had been quietly standing to the side the whole time.
He assumed Yun Mengxi hadn’t attended that expo at all.
The first call went unanswered. Ye Chen didn’t give up; he dialed persistently again.
This time, it rang for over thirty seconds before the other party picked up.
“Miss Yun, are you busy? I apologize for bothering you so presumptuously!”
Ye Chen’s voice was gentle, appearing refined and cultured.
“Do you need something?” Yun Mengxi’s voice was exceedingly cold.
“Ah, well, I discovered a very unique restaurant. I was wondering if you might do me the honor of having a meal together?”
It wasn’t blind confidence or arrogance on Ye Chen’s part.
According to destiny readings, these two types were mutually attracted.
At their first meeting, Ye Chen had genuinely liked Yun Mengxi.
And Yun Mengxi had also conversed quite happily during their meeting.
Adding that Yun Mengxi was the slow-to-warm-up type, she would gradually fall in love with him, becoming utterly devoted and inseparable!
So Ye Chen was completely confident he could ask Yun Mengxi out.
But to Ye Chen’s surprise, there was no response initially. The following reply, however, stunned him.
All he heard was Yun Mengxi go: “Yue~”
“?”
“Miss Yun, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?” Ye Chen asked very considerately.
But the other party directly hung up the phone.
Ye Chen was thoroughly bewildered, staring blankly at his phone: “This shouldn’t be happening!”
“Our destinies are mutually attracted. No one could be sabotaging this. How could this be?”
“Oh, I understand. She yue-ed just now because she’s probably feeling unwell.”
“In that case, all the more reason to go check on her!”
Having decided, Ye Chen prepared to set off, even spraying on a bit of cologne to cover up.
In reality, when Yun Mengxi heard Ye Chen invite her to dinner, she uncontrollably imagined the scene of Ye Chen spraying. That “Yue~” was an instinctive gag reflex.
With that precedent, merely seeing Ye Chen would probably make her gag.
This time, Yun Mengxi didn’t hesitate. She directly blacklisted Ye Chen’s phone number.
After blacklisting, her gaze fell back onto Bai Jinghong’s contact name.
She bit her lip and couldn’t help but dial.
But just over ten seconds into the call, she felt she might be disturbing Bai Jinghong, so she almost hung up.
Unexpectedly, the call connected at that moment.
Bai Jinghong’s laughter came from the phone: “Mengxi? What’s up? Don’t tell me you’re missing me?”
Hearing Bai Jinghong’s voice, Yun Mengxi couldn’t help but feel her heart skip a beat.
“No, I… I just dialed wrong. I didn’t mean to call.” Yun Mengxi said, immediately feeling a bit guilty inside.
“Oh, I see!” Bai Jinghong responded.
“Yeah… are… are you busy?” Yun Mengxi’s voice was soft, even carrying a hint of meekness.
“I’m not busy. Free as can be. Are you also free? How about I come over to your place and hang out?”
Yun Mengxi’s heart leaped. Her mouth moved faster than her brain: “Mm, sure…”
