Ye Xian, don’t even think about it...
The man’s words, amplified as though through a loudspeaker, penetrated Ye Xian’s ears, clear and distinct.
Ye Xian shivered with anger; Ting Shen had completely blacklisted her, leaving her no way out at all. Yet he still wouldn’t let her go? Was he trying to drive her to her death?
"What exactly do you want to do?!"
"What do I want to do?" Bo Tingshen approached her, so close that his hot breath scattered over her trembling eyelashes, his chilling presence enveloping her like a giant cage preventing her from breathing, "Don’t forget, it was you who lied to me first."
"What did I lie to you about?"
"What exactly is your relationship with Ye Shaowen?"
"Me and Ye..." Ye Xian started, then watched him warily, "What do you mean? What do you want to do?"
The hint of a sinister smile that suddenly spilled from the depths of the man’s eyes chilled Ye Xian to the bone, confirming her own fears.
Could it be that punishing her alone wasn’t satisfying enough for him, and now he wanted to target her brother as well?
"Bo Tingshen, I’m warning you, don’t touch Ye Shaowen!"
Her fierce demeanor in defense of Ye Shaowen made Bo Tingshen’s pupils darken, his entire being emitting a chilling aura, "What if I do, what can you do?"
Ye Xian detested him, biting down hard on his hand.
As if venting all her fury, her sharp teeth pierced his skin, and soon her mouth filled with the faint taste of blood.
But the man she bit didn’t so much as furrow his brow, just staring unblinkingly at her, his eyes black as ink.
He didn’t even try to dodge...
Disbelieving, Ye Xian pushed him away and ran outside without looking back.
"Xianxian, Xianxian!"
In the living room, everyone stood up in surprise as Ye Xian suddenly ran out. By the time they followed her outside, Ye Xian had already left in a car.
Upon returning to Jiuxi Eighteen Islands, the first thing Ye Xian did was call Ye Shaowen.
Not sure what he was busy with, the phone that normally was answered instantly took three tries to connect today.
"Little Sister, what’s the matter? I was signing a contract just now and had my phone on silent."
"Second Brother, Bo Tingshen hasn’t made things difficult for you, has he?"
Ye Shaowen was taken aback. Why was his little sister asking like that? Did she know something?
"Nothing, I’m just afraid he’s gone mad with vengeance, not satisfied with just targeting me, but wanting to include you too."
"Why would he do that? He should... not be that petty."
"That’s good then. You’re busy, so I won’t disturb you."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Shaowen stared at the orders piled up like a mountain on his table, his expression gradually turning fierce.
Bo Tingshen, did you really think that by using such despicable tactics, you could force me into submission? You are underestimating me too much.
Business conflicts would entail losses; how could that scum possibly do something that would harm his own interests for her sake?
Ye Xian let out a slight sigh of relief but couldn’t deny that he indeed knew how to manipulate people’s hearts. He had frightened her and infuriated her to no end.
In the evening, Chen Du called Ye Xian to play in the peak competition online.
Normally a five-point fighter, today she surged to a ten, slaying gods and buddhas alike, her form explosive.
Support watched her claim one kill after another, killing as easily as drinking water, and almost choked, "Ye Xian, this is a 2000-point peak match, are you hacking today?"
"If you’re not hacking, then you’re just too powerful, aren’t you? My understanding of you has reached a new level."
"Maybe being angered by certain people has unblocked all my energy points."
"Certain people?" Big White seemed to sniff the scent of gossip, "Who? Come on, tell me."
"I don’t want to talk about it; it makes me sick to even mention."
"Don’t be like that. Wasn’t that Meng Jin you complained about last time handled? After that mess, he was almost cursed to death online, it must’ve been your curse!"
Chen Du: "Ye Xian, the big tournament is not far away. You mustn’t let other things affect your condition and performance. We don’t need too much improvisation on the official stage, just stability is best, especially since it’s your first international tournament. I’m afraid you’ll be nervous."
"Don’t worry, Captain."
This time in the KPL tournament, she definitely had to make a name for herself, to let some people realize that banning her was a loss for them and Star Entertainment. Even if she left Star Entertainment, her future was still wide open.
With less than twenty days left before the big competition, the YFD team began training day and night. Ye Xian’s routine also turned chaotic, but fortunately, after a period of adjustment, her cooperation with the other four on the team was getting smoother than at the start.
"Ye Xian, get on the game."
Chen Du messaged her on WeChat, and Ye Xian unplugged the charger to log into the game. Entering the interface, she spotted a familiar black "S" avatar that had reappeared.
"Brother Shen, you’re here?"
"Aren’t you angry about last time?"
"Then why haven’t I seen you in the game these past few days?"
Shen: My hand was bitten by a cat, it’s just recovered.
