Chapter 30 : Ye Chen’s Belated Realization
“You can’t slander me like that! I’ve never done anything like that!” Ye Chen exclaimed, his face turning a shade of iron blue as he spoke coldly.
“You’re a man who dares to do but not to own up to it!” the woman named Li Li stood out, pointing at Ye Chen and cursing vehemently.
She ended up crying bitterly as if she had suffered a great injustice. This seamless act completely baffled Ye Chen. He almost believed the concocted story himself.
“What else do you have to say, kid?” the red-haired youth sneered at Ye Chen.
“Who sent you here?” Ye Chen didn’t answer the red-haired youth’s question, instead, he asked back, frowning.
He was certain he’d never met these people before. They must be either sent by Jiang Che or enemies of his Ye family who heard about him.
“Still pretending, huh! Guys, beat him up!” The red-haired youth didn’t bother to answer Ye Chen and gestured to the thugs to attack him.
The chubby security guard looked at these fools pityingly. They obviously didn’t know about Ye Chen’s strength; these few were not enough for Ye Chen to fight with.
“Ridiculous.” Ye Chen scoffed disdainfully. It wasn’t arrogance; these few really couldn’t withstand a single slap from him.
As expected, after a few dull thuds, the thugs were sent flying by Ye Chen, wailing on the ground. This was Ye Chen being merciful; otherwise, they’d be dead with one blow.
“Ah… it hurts so much…” The red-haired youth was completely stunned. How could someone be this strong? The woman who falsely accused Ye Chen, Li Li, also trembled in fear upon seeing Ye Chen’s prowess.
“Boss, you’re amazing!” The group of security guards, led by the chubby one, gave Ye Chen a thumbs up. Feeling the admiration and shock from those around him, Ye Chen felt somewhat elated and proud.
Not far away, Jiang Che, sitting in his Maybach, watched everything, filled with disdain. “What a fool, daring to beat people in broad daylight.”
He took out his phone and dialed the police. “Hello, I’d like to report a disturbance at the entrance of Shen Corporation.”
After speaking, Jiang Che hung up the phone. His real intention in sending Li Hu to find people was to get them beaten up.
Whether Ye Chen did anything to Li Li was no longer important. The fact that he beat someone up was enough reason for him to be detained for a few days, and Jiang Che could use this time to plan his next move.
“Drive,” he instructed.
“Alright, young master.”
“Do you still dare to slander me?” Ye Chen approached the red-haired youth, looking down on him with disdain in his eyes.
“You did it, admit it, you coward!” Despite Ye Chen’s intimidating presence, the red-haired youth wasn’t scared and even spat at him.
He knew that as long as he could slander Ye Chen, that was enough. He was prepared to be arrested; after all, being in jail was like coming home for him.
“You…” Ye Chen’s face turned iron blue with anger, clearly provoked by the other’s words.
“What about me? Go ahead, keep hitting me, you coward!” The red-haired youth continued to taunt him, not taking Ye Chen seriously at all.
“Fine, I’ll grant your wish!” Ye Chen sneered and kicked the youth in the abdomen.
“Ah…” The red-haired youth spat out a mouthful of blood and soon fainted. However, his last look at Ye Chen was full of mockery and disdain.
His words were meant to provoke Ye Chen into attacking him, and to his surprise, Ye Chen fell for it. His later life was now worry-free.
“Hmph, a fool who overestimates himself.” Ye Chen kicked the youth again and disdainfully dusted off his hands. He still hadn’t realized he had been trapped.
“Make way, make way!” the sound of police sirens announced the arrival of several officers at the entrance of Shen Corporation. “We’ve received a report of someone causing trouble here.”
“Did you start this fight?” A middle-aged police officer looked at the screaming thugs on the ground, then at the unconscious red-haired youth, and frowned at Ye Chen.
“This…” Ye Chen was puzzled at the quick arrival of the police. With so many onlookers and surveillance cameras as evidence, he couldn’t deny his involvement.
He realized too late what the red-haired youth’s mocking gaze meant before he fainted. It was clear someone was deliberately framing him, and he had foolishly walked right into the trap.
“You’re suspected of causing trouble. Please come with us,” the leading officer said, handcuffing Ye Chen. Ye Chen didn’t resist; in Jiuzhou Country, resisting arrest only made things worse.
At this point, he could only cooperate with the police, trusting that his master sister wouldn’t ignore the situation. He thought he would just go through the process and be released soon.
