Ye Chen saw the newcomer, knew that help from Water Severing Sect’s side had arrived, and the corner of his mouth immediately lifted into a smile.
Pulled it right up!
Water Severing Sect was reliable indeed, sending a Lieutenant Colonel directly.
Not far away, Bai Jinghong was sitting on a guardrail, smoking a cigarette.
He naturally saw the newcomer as well.
If no one had come, the scene might have remained at a stalemate for a while.
Now that someone had arrived, it was likely both sides would go in for the drill together.
The worst thing was when the connections you sought for help had even stronger ties to the other side, leading them to defect.
“A Zhong, what the hell are you doing?” The Lieutenant Colonel walked over to Zhao Huazhong and asked in a low voice.
Zhao Huazhong looked at him and smiled. “Well, if it isn’t Sun Jie. What am I doing? Can’t you see? A drill!”
“A drill? Got the paperwork? Don’t make things difficult for me, bro. Someone over there has spoken to the higher-ups!” Sun Jie glanced towards Ye Chen’s side.
Zhao Huazhong pulled out the authorization slip and waved it. “Of course. And this location was chosen by Young Master Bai for a drill. It’s the best spot.”
“You should know—where Young Master Bai wants a drill, even the Chief of Staff or Commander above you wouldn’t be able to stop it.”
Sun Jie froze. “Who?”
Zhao Huazhong lowered his voice. “Jinghong. What, are you going to help that side? You know them?”
“Yes… who are they? I don’t know anyone named Ye. I don’t think that’s even one of the Hundred Family Surnames.”
Sun Jie turned around and shouted to the men he brought: “Orders from above! Joint drill with our brother company!”
“All personnel, attention!”
“Today is an opposition drill. Don’t any of you embarrass us! If we lose, I’ll drill you to death back at base. Move, move, move!”
With a grand wave of his hand, he was the first to charge inside.
Zhao Huazhong laughed heartily. “Brothers, don’t lose face either!”
Both groups of men directly rushed into the corporation building.
Ye Chen, who had been smirking crookedly just moments before, stiffened on the spot.
What the hell?
The men sent by Water Severing Sect… also wanted to drill?
“Fuck…” Ye Chen truly couldn’t help but curse out loud.
Damn it, he was really about to break down.
What kind of crappy situation was this?
Dragon Morning Group was going to suffer huge losses this time.
But there was no helping it; the other party really had the paperwork. He could only swallow his anger like crushed teeth mixed with blood.
As Ye Chen was fuming, he suddenly spotted Bai Jinghong sitting on the guardrail smoking a cigarette not far away.
He instantly understood what was going on.
And Bai Jinghong waved at him in return, looking very enthusiastic even.
“Bai Jinghong!” Rage and desperation surged into Ye Chen’s heart, and he charged straight at him.
He couldn’t kill him today, but he at least needed to vent his anger.
Ye Chen’s fury overwhelmed his heart, adrenaline spiking, as if he’d forgotten he’d just been injured recently.
Seeing Ye Chen rushing at him, a chill flashed in Bai Jinghong’s eyes as well.
Ye Chen gritted his teeth, raising his hand to attack.
But Bai Jinghong simply hopped off the guardrail, flicking the cigarette butt in his hand towards Ye Chen’s face.
Ye Chen dodged sideways.
The next second, as he faced Bai Jinghong, Bai Jinghong’s foot had already kicked into his chest.
“Bang!”
A muffled sound echoed as Ye Chen heavily crashed to the ground.
Injured as he was, his reaction speed was far below his usual level, not to mention he had internal injuries plus a gunshot wound.
After that one kick, Ye Chen felt his wounds tearing open again, the pain excruciating.
Bai Jinghong sneered, walked up, and placed his hand on Ye Chen’s arm, groping until he found the location of the wound.
Then, he suddenly squeezed with force.
“Ugh…”
Even with Ye Chen’s high level of strength, this kind of pain was truly not something an ordinary person could endure.
He struck back with his right hand, but Bai Jinghong casually swatted it aside.
Bai Jinghong was especially vicious; his fingers hooked right into where his stitches were. Using his fingers with force, he almost tore the sutures open with his bare hands, his fingers digging into the flesh.
Blood immediately gushed out.
Bai Jinghong lifted him up just like that, a smile on his face. “Lord Dragon Lord, today was just a small lesson.”
“You schemed against me once, and I return it tenfold. I’m a very fair-minded person.”
“Between us, we’ll play this out slowly. Take your pick of any cemetery in Dragon Sea—my treat!”
With that, Bai Jinghong exerted force with his hand once more.
Bai Jinghong could feel his own fingertips touching the bone inside the other’s arm.
“Hehehe, hahahaha!”
Bai Jinghong laughed, only then releasing his grip.
Then he wiped the blood soaking his fingers onto Ye Chen’s clothes and flung his hand.
Ye Chen collapsed directly to the ground, his face pale, as if all the strength had been drained from his body.
“Goodbye. Next time we meet, I’ll bring you a new gift. I’m sure you’ll be very happy about it!”
Bai Jinghong turned directly and left, very suavely, not bothering to look back even once.
Meanwhile, Ye Chen’s vision blurred. He gritted his teeth, raised a hand to point at Bai Jinghong, and then promptly passed out.
All this happened too quickly. By the time Wen Tailai and the others rushed over, Ye Chen had already fainted.
Bai Jinghong had also left.
“Dragon Lord, Dragon Lord!” Wen Tailai crouched down to check Ye Chen’s condition.
In his agitation, he grabbed Ye Chen’s arm and shook it vigorously.
As if roused by the pain, Ye Chen glanced at his arm, then at Wen Tailai, and cursed with difficulty: “Stop squeezing… I… fu… your… mom!”
Then, he fainted again.
Wen Tailai was startled and hastily let go, only to look at his own hand—damn, it was covered in blood.
So he’d been squeezing and shaking the Dragon Lord right on his wound. A wave of bitterness washed over him, and he quickly ordered men to take Ye Chen for treatment.
……
After leaving, Bai Jinghong contacted Volcano.
He learned that Yun Mengxi’s condition had improved and that she had already been sent back to her villa.
Bai Jinghong felt much relieved.
He drove over to the Bai Corporation headquarters.
Picked up Qin Chuchu, went to the Bai Family Estate, and spent some tender time with Shen Yaoyao, Zi Yue, and the other girls before changing clothes and preparing to head out.
When he went out, a fine, drizzling rain had begun to fall from the sky.
The temperature had dropped a bit as well.
Bai Jinghong first went to buy a bouquet of flowers, then headed directly to Yun Mengxi’s villa.
When he arrived, he found Yun Mengxi standing at the door waiting.
In the bleak wind, fine threads of rain drifted down. Accompanied by the rain were a few leaves slowly falling from the branches.
The leaves spiraled down, landing at Yun Mengxi’s feet.
The temperature had dropped, but Yun Mengxi wasn’t wearing much.
Her tall figure stood in the cold wind and fine rain, looking somewhat slender, yet carrying the essence of a painting—truly, immensely beautiful.
Seeing this from afar, Bai Jinghong couldn’t help but be captivated by the scene.
He knew Yun Mengxi hadn’t deliberately created this scene for him to see; this was her innate temperament.
No matter what kind of scenery you placed her in, she seemed to complement it perfectly.
When Bai Jinghong’s car pulled up close, he saw her long, beautiful hair gently dancing in the wind, her arms hugging herself.
She seemed a little cold, evoking a strong sense of pity within him.
Bai Jinghong walked up and tidied her hair clasp with his hand.
Then he brought the flowers out from behind his back.
“Thank you!” Yun Mengxi was pleasantly surprised, holding the roses and smelling them.
“Beautiful!” Bai Jinghong couldn’t help but sigh in admiration.
Yun Mengxi smiled gently. “Are you saying I’m beautiful, or the flowers are beautiful?”
“Both! The beauty of this bouquet of roses is just to set you off. In front of you, even the most gorgeous roses can only willingly serve as green leaves!”
No girl doesn’t like receiving praise from the man she loves.
Yun Mengxi slowly leaned into Bai Jinghong’s embrace, feeling the warmth of his body.
After hugging for a while, Yun Mengxi quickly took Bai Jinghong’s hand. “I almost forgot, it’s raining outside. Come in, quick!”
Bai Jinghong smiled. “It’s no bother. At worst, we can just have a little story after the rain.”
Once inside the villa, Yun Mengxi arranged the flowers nicely, then brought out a pair of slippers and crouched down, placing them at Bai Jinghong’s feet.
“Jinghong, sit for a while. I’ll go prepare things.”
Saying this, Yun Mengxi took off her light windbreaker.
With that removed, a light-colored dress underneath was revealed.
Seeing it, Bai Jinghong’s eyes lit up.
The dress had a low neckline, leaving Yun Mengxi’s delicate, smooth, and shapely shoulders exposed.
The full, fair peaks on her chest were also exceptionally eye-catching, soft and perky, with a deep valley, gleaming with a creamy, milk-white luster.
Moreover, it was a short dress, not very long, reaching only mid-thigh.
Much of Yun Mengxi’s long, slender legs were exposed.
