Just as Bai Jinghong was peacefully asleep, holding Yun Mengxi in his arms—
The little brother dispatched to report back had already arrived at the hospital where Ye Chen was staying.
At that moment, Ye Chen was sprawled on his hospital bed, his face so dark it looked like black water could drip from it.
Damn it all.
Ever since getting out of prison, absolutely nothing had gone right.
His calculations before leaving were perfect. After prison, he’d have smooth sailing, get his revenge, make a name for himself, have a beauty fall into his arms, and skyrocket to the peak of life.
But damn it, not a single part matched up.
Not only was there no smooth sailing after prison; it was like there was no favorable wind or water at all.
Don’t even mention getting great revenge. Even the small scores—that little Wu family bastard and that slut Liu Tiantian—were still unresolved.
Making a name for himself? Well, he sure did that. Instant fame, reviled by ten thousand people. That was making a name, all right.
Internet celebrity “Hotpot The Titty Avenger,” commercial exhibition’s “Little Spurt Prince”—which title wasn’t notorious throughout Dragon Sea?
A beauty falling into his arms? Don’t even get him started.
From beginning to end, Yun Mengxi acted like she had a grudge against him. Seeing Ye Chen seemed to make her want to puke…
Jiang Yueying? No need to elaborate. If his reaction had been a bit slower that night, right now, including him and the urn, he’d weigh about five jin, six liang.
Wen Chunyu was normal at first and even showed him some goodwill. But since the commercial exhibition, she was nowhere to be seen.
He was gravely injured and hospitalized, and she didn’t even visit him once, didn’t make a single phone call. It was like she was solely focused on bathing at home for some baffling reason.
And the peak of life? Utter bullshit. He had gone straight to the lunatic fringe of life instead.
Post-battle summary: After prison, he got cuckolded, humiliated, beaten, cursed at, mocked, and investigated by the cops.
His sister’s grave was dug up. That Feng Shui trap he’d designed against the Ye family never got a chance to be activated.
His group was used as a military exercise ground, costing him tens of millions in losses for nothing.
And now, even the woman he was utterly convinced would be his, Yun Mengxi, was gone. When he called before, a man’s voice clearly answered the phone.
And the voice sounded somewhat familiar.
Damn it, it sounded a lot like Bai Jinghong, but it definitely couldn’t be Bai Jinghong.
In Ye Chen’s mind, the man on the phone earlier might have been Yun Mengxi’s cousin, maybe an older male relative.
It absolutely couldn’t be a boyfriend. After all, Yun Mengxi had never dated anyone before. She wouldn’t get a boyfriend in such a short time.
That’s why he sent someone to check it out.
Ye Chen still had some comfort in his heart. Within the Dragon Gate’s forces, some people still obeyed him.
And business-wise, that prime piece of land was under construction with a very promising future.
Just as Ye Chen was summarizing his problems, the little brother he sent out returned.
The little brother had a smile on his face, looking somewhat excited.
“Dragon Lord!” the little brother greeted.
Ye Chen turned his head to look at him. “What’s the situation over there? Spill it.”
The little brother nodded repeatedly.
With his eloquence, the Dragon Lord, His Excellency, would surely reward him today.
On the way back, he’d already concocted the entire sequence of events.
After all, in his understanding, the Dragon Lord wanted him to gather intel, not anything else.
He didn’t know Ye Chen’s true intentions.
Thus, the little brother directly launched into an impassioned, eloquent torrent.
“Dragon Lord, I watched for quite a while, and it was truly exhilarating!” the little brother chuckled slyly.
Ye Chen’s brow furrowed. “What do you mean?”
The little brother grinned and continued: “Dragon Lord, you told me to go check out the situation over there.”
“As soon as I got there… hey, you know what?”
The little brother clapped his hands together. “They were kissing!”
Ye Chen instantly choked up.
The little brother didn’t notice Ye Chen’s state at all and kept chattering away.
“First, they kissed, moving from top to bottom. It was burning hot, I tell you.”
“According to my analysis, they kissed for about five minutes, and then started exercising.”
“In the exercise routine, the first move was what we commonly call the old man pushing the cart. Whoa buddy, judging by the intensity, it was at least a four-cylinder engine, definitely fifth gear.”
“That’s nothing. Then they deployed all eighteen martial arts techniques!”
“Like the devil carrying a cannon, old tree coiling its roots, dragonfly touching the water, Arhat ramming the bell.”
“Here’s the key point—the most ultimate move: the Inverted Golden Hook!”
“When that move was unleashed, the heavens and earth paled, wild winds raged, and the battle reached its peak. Holy…”
“Shut the hell up!” Ye Chen roared.
The little brother, who was still lost in his vivid imagination, suddenly froze.
Seeing Ye Chen’s bloodshot eyes, the little brother suddenly fell into self-doubt.
Could it be that his description wasn’t good enough?
It must be!
He’d forgotten to mention that move, Dragon Returns to the Sea, just now.
“I’m Fucking asking you, was what you just said true?” Ye Chen looked like he wanted to flip right out of bed.
The little brother jumped in fright and quickly nodded: “It’s true, Dragon Lord. I know what you mean. I hadn’t finished describing it.”
“There were actually many more moves.”
Ye Chen felt his vision go black, and he seemed on the verge of passing out.
“How could Thunder Hall have a brainless idiot like you…” Wen Tailai, standing nearby, was also dumbfounded, and now he cussed.
Wen Tailai could see that this little brother truly had no idea what Ye Chen intended and thought he was just sent to observe the situation.
This kid did him one better and came to report it, with such vivid detail, practically begging for death!
The little brother also realized he’d said something wrong but couldn’t tell what exactly. Did he fail to describe the sequence of moves?
That was considered failing too?
“I’ll ask you one last time. Setting everything else aside, is it true that in that villa, there was a man and a woman doing… that kind of thing?”
Ye Chen ground his teeth and asked.
The little brother nodded: “Yes, Dragon Lord. I was watching from outside!”
“Although they were just some blurry shadows cast on the curtains, relying on my extensive experience and sharp mind, I could only identify that many moves!”
As he spoke, the little brother looked rather proud.
“Ahh~”
“Ahh~” Ye Chen roared.
His eyes were bloodshot, his voice hoarse with rage.
Then his vision went dark, and he fainted directly.
“Aiya!” The little brother jumped in fright. “Boss, the Dragon Lord seems to have stopped breathing!”
“Then why the hell aren’t you going to call a doctor!” Wen Tailai was also enraged beyond measure.
…
The night passed.
Throughout that night, Ye Chen fainted and woke, only for the little brother to come offer a few words of concern, causing Ye Chen to be angered into unconsciousness again.
Bai Jinghong’s side, on the other hand, was incredibly comfortable.
Waking in the morning, the drizzle outside the window had long ceased.
Now, bright sunlight streamed outside, mixed with the fragmented chirping of birds.
He looked at his arms. Yun Mengxi was sleeping soundly, her beautiful hair spread across his chest, gleaming with a faint luster.
Her beautiful face held tranquility and grace, tinged with a hint of languidness.
Her pale, soft, and tender skin was captivating and stirred the imagination.
From last night’s battle, Bai Jinghong understood another principle.
Namely: “When the technique is weak, don’t force the plow!”
Luckily, his own martial prowess was sufficient, otherwise, he’d truly need to lean on the wall.
As the number of women increased, Bai Jinghong deeply understood just how important a formidable kidney was.
Otherwise, if this continued, even with the Nirvana Medical Scripture, he’d eventually become spent.
“System, that Qilin Kidney I thought about before, is it available?”
[Ding, Host has insufficient Exchange Points. Qilin Kidney requires 10,000 Exchange Points. Host’s current Exchange Point limit is 5,000.]
“Then we’ll talk about it later!”
Bai Jinghong didn’t force it. Right now, he was “Mister Vigor” himself.
He’d consider the Qilin Kidney business later.
For Bai Jinghong, the immediate problem to solve was still Ye Chen.
That scumbag still had some capability, in the end.
And according to the original plot, he should have set a Feng Shui trap for the Ye family. Yet no news had come from the Ye family side until now.
It seemed his own various actions had altered the plot, or delayed it.
Besides the Ye family, Bai Jinghong still had to make a trip to the Jiang family.
After all, Jiang Yueying was already tangled up in this, and he was her childhood sweetheart.
Meeting once was also very necessary. He couldn’t just stay away forever because of Jiang Qingtian.
