A middle-aged man wearing sunglasses and smoking a cigar stepped out of a BMW SUV.
The man wasn’t tall, short and chubby, but he had a strong presence.
The henchmen by his side, each one looking fierce, were also very formidable.
Seeing the group of people arriving, everyone’s faces slightly changed.
In this area, Hei the third was just a small thug; Long Er was the real boss around here.
The nearby nightclubs and KTVs were all under Long Er’s charge.
He had no shortage of underlings.
When Long Er’s name was mentioned, everyone trembled in fear.
Hei the third quickly approached upon seeing Long Er.
"Damn, Long Er is here, this kid is finished."
"Offending Long Er can lead to broken bones, or worse, you might even be crippled."
"Brother, quickly kneel and beg for mercy, you might still leave alive."
Everyone advised Ye Chen urgently.
Ye Chen, however, was indifferent; in a society governed by law, these people can’t act recklessly.
Long Er glanced at Hei the third coldly and said, "Who’s so bold to disrespect my face?"
Hei the third pointed at Ye Chen, arrogantly saying, "It’s this kid, just a DiDi driver, yet so audacious."
Long Er looked at Ye Chen.
At this moment, Ye Chen was inspecting the damage to his car.
Long Er snorted coldly, "Kid, you’ve got guts."
At that point, Ye Chen turned around and looked at Long Er.
Originally, Long Er wanted to act cool, but upon seeing Ye Chen, he was dumbfounded.
Long Er’s previously cold face immediately turned into a flattering smile.
Hei the third, on the other side, hadn’t noticed the change in Long Er’s expression and said proudly, "Brother, it’s this kid, you should teach him a good lesson."
"Brother Ye, it’s you!"
With Long Er speaking again, Hei the third was suddenly stunned.
Hei the third was puzzled, "Brother, him."
Long Er’s gaze cooled, and he slapped Hei the third across the face.
Hei the third was knocked dizzy, stumbling back two steps.
The surrounding crowd and henchmen were all bewildered.
Long Er had always protected his own.
But why did he hit his henchman today?
Hei the third clutched his swollen face, feeling wronged, "Brother, why hit me?"
Long Er directly kicked Hei the third’s belly.
Hei the third was kicked to the ground.
"Do you even know it’s a harmonious society? Recklessly causing trouble, getting me involved! Don’t you know I’m a legitimate businessman now?"
Upon hearing Long Er’s words, everyone was stunned.
"Harmonious society, legitimate businessman," it didn’t seem to fit Long Er at all.
"I’ve always been reasonable, never doing anything against social morals."
The more Long Er spoke, the angrier he got, punching and kicking Hei the third once more.
Everyone watching was bewildered.
What on earth was going on?
"Brother, stop hitting me, I was wrong."
"I won’t dare anymore; I promise to uphold social morals in the future."
"Brother, I was wrong; I won’t flaunt recklessly anymore."
The crowd witnessing this scene exchanged confused glances.
Usually unreasonable Long Er, what happened to him today?
Long Er kicked Hei the third two more times, coldly saying, "You punk, dare to offend Brother Chen, you want to die dragging me down too?"
Hei the third cried from being beaten, "Brother, he’s just a DiDi Brother, are you mistaken?"
Long Er gave Hei the third two more slaps.
"What’s wrong with being a DiDi Brother? Can’t a DiDi Brother be formidable? I’m telling you, Brother Chen is a badass DiDi Brother boss."
Hei the third suffered through the beating with much grievance.
Usually, if he encountered problems, his brother would come and settle it directly.
This time, why was he siding with an outsider?
Ye Chen watched as Long Er chased and beat Hei the third, also bewildered.
Could it be his image was too upright? Just seeing him could instantly reform bad guys?
Long Er kicked Hei the third a few more times and dragged him in front of Ye Chen, "Hurry and apologize to Brother Chen."
Hei the third knew Long Er’s character and now understood he had offended a big shot he couldn’t mess with.
"Brother Chen, I was wrong, I shouldn’t have acted against the rules, I shouldn’t disregard social morals, please forgive me this time."
Ye Chen ignored Hei the third, instead looking at Long Er nearby.
"Did we meet before?" Ye Chen asked, puzzled.
Long Er replied with a fawning look, "Of course, Brother Chen, last time I personally saw you dominating the scene, scaring those rich kids senseless!"
Ye Chen finally understood.
Seems the last time he summoned a helicopter and armored vehicle, this guy was there too.
The earlier incident made Long Er realize what true badassery was.
Ye Chen had been listed as a big shot not to be trifled with.
Today, his henchman messed up and offended Ye Chen; knowing trouble was coming, he had to beat up Hei the third severely.
If he didn’t beat him up today, he might end up being the one beaten afterwards.
One phone call, with armed helicopter and armored car, who could endure that?
Hei the third was savvy, bowing and apologizing profusely.
He agreed to cover all car repair costs himself.
Since they admitted fault, Ye Chen wasn’t inclined to pursue further.
Ye Chen’s car only had a little paint scratched, not a major issue.
Finding time to repaint it could solve the problem.
Ye Chen got in his car and left.
Long Er, with a group of henchmen, bowed and sent him off.
The momentum felt like that of a big shot’s departure.
Ye Chen called Su Xiaoya.
"Xiaoya, wanna grab a bite together?"
"Stinking Brother Ye, you finally remembered me, hmph I’m busy." A voice of grievance came from the other end.
"Been a bit busy lately; I’ll drive over to pick you up; see you at the door in half an hour."
Ye Chen drove to the community entrance.
Although Su Xiaoya said she wouldn’t see Ye Chen, when his car arrived, she stood excitedly at the entrance waiting for him.
Ye Chen drove to a street stall.
Two people walked into the street stall.
Su Xiaoya, who came often, addressed the owner, "Boss, give me ten skewers, and ten kidneys..."
After ordering, Su Xiaoya snuggled up to Ye Chen.
"Brother Chen, I missed you."
Su Xiaoya was now daily, apart from streaming, thinking about meeting Ye Chen.
Though Su Xiaoya knew being a Third Mistress required enduring loneliness, such days were indeed hard.
Ye Chen patted Su Xiaoya’s head, saying, "Good girl, I’ll try to make more time to be with you."
At that moment, a group of young people dressed in fashionable clothes with flamboyant hairstyles entered.
One of the young men spotted Su Xiaoya and his eyes lit up.
"Wow, there’s a little beauty here."
The young man, in his early twenties, had a face full of acne, but looked fierce.
"Brother Shan, how about I invite this girl to join us for a couple of drinks?"
The young man snorted coldly, "You invite her? You think you have the clout? To invite beauties, Brother Shan personally steps up."
