Chapter 25: Seeking Death
Wang Yunkai stood proudly at the entrance of Huaxin Company.
He knew that today was a great opportunity to showcase his strength in front of Xiao Churan’s mother, and he had to seize it.
As long as he could win over her mother, how could he possibly fail to win over her?
At that point, he would be able to take the renowned beauty of Jinling, Xiao Churan, into his arms. Just thinking about it made him incredibly excited!
So, he shouted, “Dear uncles and aunts, please rest assured! The boss of this scam company will come over soon to refund everyone!”
Upon hearing this, the crowd immediately erupted in cheers, clapping their hands, each one unable to contain their excitement.
Only Ye Chen looked at Wang Yunkai with a cold smile. This guy really took himself too seriously; he would probably not even know how he died later.
Just as Wang Yunkai held his head high, enjoying the crowd’s adoration, the door of Huaxin Insurance Company was suddenly pushed open from the inside.
Then, the boss, Zhou Huaxin, walked out with a middle-aged man dressed in a Tang suit.
Although the middle-aged man was somewhat older, he exuded an impressive aura; it was none other than Lord Hong!
Behind Lord Hong were several strong subordinates closely following him, all of whom were his personal bodyguards, each exceptionally capable.
Lord Hong’s status was so high that although many people in Jinling had heard of his name, they rarely had the chance to see him. Therefore, including Wang Yunkai, no one recognized him.
Everyone only recognized Zhou Huaxin, the boss of Huaxin Insurance.
As a result, the atmosphere in the crowd instantly exploded!
“Oh my, Yunkai really brought President Zhou over! He’s truly remarkable!”
“Yes, thanks to Sister Lan, we have hope for our money!”
“Sister Lan, such a good young man is definitely a great choice for a son-in-law!”
Ma Lan listened to the flattery from the older ladies, feeling an indescribable comfort.
This Wang Yunkai had really helped her shine in front of her old friends today.
Thinking of this, she smiled even more, looking at Wang Yunkai with undisguised satisfaction in her eyes.
At this moment, Wang Yunkai confidently stepped forward, adopting a high-and-mighty posture.
He didn’t know Zhou Huaxin or Lord Hong, but seeing that Zhou Huaxin seemed to respect Lord Hong, he mistakenly assumed that Lord Hong was the boss.
So, he looked at Lord Hong and arrogantly said, “Are you the boss of Huaxin Insurance?”
Lord Hong replied with a half-smile, “I’m not the boss; I just work for him. But if you have something to say, you can tell me.”
Wang Yunkai suddenly realized, then disdainfully laughed, “So you’re just a lackey! Someone like you isn’t worthy to talk to me. Get lost and let your boss come!”
Ye Chen shook his head, looking at Wang Yunkai as if he were an idiot.
The man in the Tang suit had an impressive aura and strong subordinates following him; he was clearly not someone to be trifled with. Yet Wang Yunkai arrogantly mocked him, clearly digging his own grave.
Ma Lan, standing nearby, also coldly echoed, “Yunkai, don’t waste your breath on this lackey; the one beside him is the real boss of Huaxin Insurance!”
Zhou Huaxin was left dumbfounded!
This Wang Yunkai, and this old woman, had such audacity!
They actually dared to insult Lord Hong as a lackey and told him to get lost. They truly didn’t know how to write the word “death”!
In all of Jinling, who would dare to insult Lord Hong so brazenly?!
Even if someone did, they would have been thrown into the river to feed the fish after Lord Hong got angry!
Just as Wang Yunkai finished speaking, one of Lord Hong’s strong subordinates stepped forward, grabbed Wang Yunkai by the hair, and slapped him several times across the face!
“Damn it! You dare to insult Lord Hong? Are you tired of living?!”
After saying that, he grabbed Ma Lan and slapped her hard across the face, scolding, “You filthy woman, dare to insult Lord Hong? Do you believe I’ll tear your mouth apart?!”
Boom!
As soon as those words were spoken, both Wang Yunkai and Ma Lan felt as if they had been struck by lightning!
What?
The man in the Tang suit before them was actually the legendary Lord Hong of Jinling?!
And they had just insulted him without knowing the consequences…
Realizing this, their faces instantly turned pale, and cold sweat broke out all over their bodies, terrified to the point of losing their minds.
Wang Yunkai reacted the fastest; he fell to his knees in front of Lord Hong, banging his head on the ground while crying and pleading, “Lord Hong, it’s my fault! I apologize! I was blind and didn’t recognize you, and I shouldn’t have insulted you! This matter of these damn old folks wanting their money has nothing to do with me. Please, spare my life!”
After saying that, he knelt on the ground, slapping himself and bowing in apology, completely breaking down in tears.
He truly hadn’t expected that the one backing this scam company’s boss was the legendary Lord Hong of Jinling!
For someone of such stature, not only he but even his family could not afford to offend!
At this moment, he regretted it so much he wished he could die!
He had only wanted to take this opportunity to curry favor with Xiao Churan’s mother, hoping to get closer to Xiao Churan.
He never expected that before he could achieve his wish, he had severely offended Lord Hong!
If his father found out about this, wouldn’t he beat him to death?
The scene before them left the surrounding uncles and aunts in shock.
They had hoped Wang Yunkai could help them get their money back, but who would have thought that in the next moment, he would kneel on the ground, bowing and apologizing to the man in the Tang suit…
And Ma Lan, who had been so proud just moments ago, was now slapped several times, looking as pitiful as a dead dog.
Lord Hong snorted coldly and said to those around him, “Since this guy has such a filthy mouth, you all take turns slapping him a thousand times. Only stop when you’ve finished a thousand slaps.”
Wang Yunkai was terrified; a thousand slaps would surely kill him!
At that moment, one of Lord Hong’s subordinates pointed at the disheveled Ma Lan and asked, “Lord Hong, what about this old woman?”
Lord Hong glanced at Ma Lan with disgust and said indifferently, “She gets a thousand slaps too!”
Ma Lan was so frightened that she fell to her knees, trembling violently. She was almost scared to death; having offended Lord Hong, could she still live?
At this time, several subordinates stepped forward, some grabbing Wang Yunkai, others grabbing Ma Lan, and they were ready to start slapping.
Ye Chen had been watching this scene coldly from the crowd.
When he saw his mother-in-law getting hit, he initially didn’t want to intervene; his mother-in-law had always been so despicable, and a little lesson was deserved.
However, if Lord Hong’s subordinates really slapped her a thousand times, they would either kill her or leave her severely injured. How would he explain that to his wife later?
If her life was truly in danger, his wife would surely be very distressed!
He felt he had no choice but to step in.
Just as a burly man raised his arm, preparing to slap Ma Lan’s old face hard, Ye Chen quickly stepped forward and grabbed his wrist!
