25: Chapter 25 I Reason with Them 25: Chapter 25 I Reason with Them Lin Tong pondered for a moment before saying to Ye Xuan, “There’s no need to postpone, they have already approached us.
You didn’t do anything wrong, but you’ve stirred up a lot of trouble!
They called the board, asking the Eastern Group to hand you over, otherwise the company will never be at peace.”
Ye Xuan furrowed his brows, not expecting these people to play the victim first, and even go directly to the board, blatantly making threats!
“I didn’t go looking for them, but they came to me first; it seems the lesson I gave them earlier wasn’t enough.”
Ye Xuan’s eyes were cold.
If it weren’t for Yuan Mengmeng dragging him away earlier, he would have already given these adversaries a profound lesson!
Originally, he had intended to let them off, but these guys were so reckless and even dared to threaten his wife.
Ye Xuan looked at Lin Tong, “What about Lin Dongfang?
He must be eager to hand me over, right?”
Lin Tong sighed, “Ye Xuan, I know you have the company’s interests at heart, but Lin Dongfang won’t see it that way.
He is solely focused on marrying me off to Song Shaopeng and forming a marital alliance with the Song Family.
Only by dealing with you would he be able to rest easy!”
“What a man, Lin Dongfang.
It would be strange if the Eastern Group doesn’t collapse under his leadership!”
Ye Xuan sneered, then suddenly changed his tone, asking Lin Tong, “Wife, what do you think?
Would you hand me over like Lin Dongfang, in exchange for peace for the Eastern Group?”
Lin Tong’s face changed, and she exclaimed, “Ye Xuan, what do you think I am?
Since I, Lin Tong, have recognized you, I will entrust everything to you.
If Lin Dongfang wants to hand you over, then I will leave with you.”
Moved by her words, Ye Xuan quickly said, “Wife, I’m sorry, I was wrong to doubt you.”
Lin Tong took out a bank card from the drawer and handed it to Ye Xuan, softly saying, “Originally, I had someone handle the protection fee issue with a lawyer, but with your interference, that’s clearly not possible now.
I’ve already contacted them; they agreed to let you go, but they demand a million in protection and disability fees, and you must go and apologize to the person you beat up.”
He didn’t expect these people to demand a million!
Although a million didn’t seem like much to Ye Xuan, it was his wife’s money; naturally, he wouldn’t hand it over.
Moreover, he didn’t believe that taking the money would truly get them to let him go.
With such wolves, the more you give in, the more they push.
Only by hurting and frightening them will they retract their claws!
Thinking this, Ye Xuan didn’t say it out loud but grabbed the card from the table and stuffed it into his pocket, declaring righteously, “Wife, they only bully good people!
As a company security guard, I am extremely outraged, but for the bigger picture, I’ll pay them a visit at their den and reason with them.”
Lin Tong inwardly smiled bitterly.
How would they listen to reason?
But on second thought, since she had already agreed to give a million, they probably wouldn’t trouble Ye Xuan further as long as he sincerely apologized.
This could be the end of it.
“Alright, go and come back soon,” Lin Tong said earnestly.
I’ll apologize and reason with them well.
I believe they won’t make things difficult for me.”
Saying this, Ye Xuan turned and walked out of the office.
However, in that turn, his aura shifted dramatically, emanating a chilling menace, and a glint of extreme coldness flashed through his dark pupils!
Jokingly, the ‘Black Emperor’ apologizing to some street thugs who made the Dark World tremble?
It was as ridiculous as a mouse telling a cat not to eat it if it knelt down!
As for reasoning, certainly, he would talk—though Ye Xuan typically did his talking with his fists.
Watching Ye Xuan’s departing silhouette, Lin Tong sighed deeply and dialed a number: “Tell the board that Ye Xuan has already apologized to those people, and they are not pursuing our responsibility anymore.”
As soon as Ye Xuan exited the company doors, he was met by Yuan Mengmeng and Zheng Xiaobo, who were anxiously waiting for him.
Seeing Ye Xuan appear, Yuan Mengmeng’s eyes lit up, and she immediately ran over.
She and Zheng Xiaobo had just arrived on the first floor but hadn’t spotted Ye Xuan, so the two had no choice but to wait there for him to appear.
When Ye Xuan saw them, he was at first startled and before he could greet them, Zheng Xiaobo grabbed his arm, saying, “Ye Xuan, you need to run, you’ve stirred up big trouble!”
Yuan Mengmeng also looked guilty, lamenting, “Big Brother Ye, it’s all because of me.
Otherwise, you wouldn’t have offended them.”
“What’s wrong with you two, I need to run?
Where would I run to?”
Ye Xuan was baffled; just a few thugs had you this scared.
Zheng Xiaobo stated gravely, “Ye Xuan, you better run now.
I’ve already bought you a train ticket; just leave East Sea City tonight…”
“Wait, how has this conversation become even more absurd?
Did I say I was leaving?”
Ye Xuan interrupted, saying, “Under the broad daylight, they wouldn’t dare lay a hand on me, would they?”
Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Zheng Xiaobo didn’t know what else to say.
Ye Xuan patted Zheng Xiaobo’s shoulder, righteously declaring, “Xiaobo, rest assured, I’m going now to reason with them.
I don’t believe they can do anything to me!”
Zheng Xiaobo helplessly said, “Ye Xuan, this world is not as simple as you think.
You fought those people, and they won’t let it go easily.
Aren’t you going on a suicide mission?”
Unfazed, Ye Xuan declared resolvedly, “I’ve made up my mind.
I’m off to find the Flying Car Gang to see what they can do to me.”
With that, Ye Xuan marched forward with his head held high and chest puffed out.
Seeing Ye Xuan was beyond persuasion, Zheng Xiaobo sighed, “I’ll try talking to my dad again, we can’t just let Ye Xuan go to his death!”
With those words, he turned and hurried away.
Watching Ye Xuan’s silhouette thriving under the sunlight, Yuan Mengmeng clenched her teeth, silently resolving, “No, Big Brother Ye is in this situation because of me.
I can’t let him face this alone!”
