Twenty minutes later, Ye Chen and Zhu Ya arrived at Jiangnan Province’s Huayuan International Trade Building.
At the entrance of the building, Sun Yi and Xia Ruoxue were being guarded by a few security guards. They were holding an emergency press conference to clarify this matter.
However, the people outside refused to listen to their words, and instead directed harsh curses and insults at them.
They even insulted their parents!
Sun Yi bit her lips lightly, and there was already a hint of anger on her face.
She and Ruoxue had thought of sending people to suppress the situation by force, but this had blown up!
Twenty-seven people had been killed when the news first broke, but now it was a hundred, and the situation was worsening!
It was not only Jiangnan Province, but it seemed that the rest of Huaxia had a problem with their products!
As such, even if Ruoxue used the power and connections of the Xia family to suppress them, it would be useless. It was as if someone was secretly orchestrating everything.
Thus, Xia Ruoxue and Sun Yi could only try to reason with the crowd, but it was useless, as the curses did not stop.
Suddenly, a man wearing a hat threw an egg at Sun Yi’s face, causing her face and hair to be covered in the icky raw stuff.
The reporters took this opportunity to snap pictures of her in this state. They were sure that this picture would make its rounds across social media once it was posted.
Ye Chen was furious when he saw this, and he immediately charged into the crowd!
He made a beeline for the man, and easily pushed aside everyone in his way, causing them to stagger back or fall over.
Since things had developed to this point, Ye Chen knew very well that this was something someone had planned, whether it was the scandal, the protest, and even the media’s presence.
Whoever it was clearly targeting the Heavenly Justice Group, and since the Xia family’s power could not suppress the situation, it meant that the culprit originated from Capital City!
Someone wanted to ruin the Heavenly Justice Group’s reputation and his!
A strong gust of wind blew past as Ye Chen arrived in front of the man who had thrown the egg.
Hmph! It seemed this fellow was an ancient martial artist.
The man sensed danger and wanted to dodge, but it was too late, and Ye Chen’s fingers closed in around his neck.
The man was thrown ruthlessly onto the ground, which caused him to spit out a mouthful of blood.
The man was in extreme pain, but when he saw that it was Ye Chen, he quickly shouted, “They’re beating people up. Everyone, look! The Heavenly Justice Group is beating people up!”
“I know this person. He’s the owner of the Heavenly Justice Group, Ye Chen!”
These few words ignited the crowd’s fury, and they began to curse Ye Chen as well.
The reporters pressed their shutter buttons frantically…
This was definitely big news!
“Who asked you to come?” Ye Chen ignored them and asked coldly.
The man was not afraid of Ye Chen at all. With a ferocious expression, he said, “There’s a problem with your fucking medicine, and you’re not letting anyone know? Don’t you have a conscience?”
Before he could finish, Ye Chen stepped on the man’s arm.
With a sickening crunch, it was crushed, and the intense pain almost made the man twitch.
However, the words from his mouth remained unchanged. Clearly, he had received training!
“The hand you used to touch my woman is already broken. What other part of your body should I break next?”
“I’m quite puzzled. You’re an ancient martial artist, but you showed up at a civilian protest? How intriguing,” Ye Chen smiled and said.
The man was stunned, but quickly feigned ignorance.
“I don’t understand what you’re talking about. Ancient martial artist? I’m a f*cking consumer. My parents took your group’s medicine and are still lying in the intensive care unit. F*ck! What the hell!”
These words caused the crowd’s curses to intensify, and it was getting more and more unpleasant.
Ye Chen’s cold gaze swept across the crowd.
As soon as he said these two words, a powerful sound wave swept out, and those people staggered backward. Some even fell to the ground!
It was like a surging tide!
When they stood up and were about to say something, his killing intent engulfed the crowd, and everyone froze.
It was as if a pair of hands was strangling them, and they had no right to speak!
“I asked him a question and 1 don’t like people interrupting me. Whoever dares to say another word will die,” Ye Chen said calmly.
The crowd fell silent.
Ye Chen’s gaze fell on the man again.
“I’ll only give you one chance. If you don’t tell me the truth, you’ll regret it.”
The man was not afraid at all. If he could not complete the mission, he would definitely die anyway!
“Your Heavenly Justice Group is really despicable! You only know how to threaten people! I’m going to speak the f*cking truth!”
Ye Chen’s lips curled into a cold smile.
“You’ve made your choice.”
There was no warmth in his voice.
Ye Chen raised his foot without warning and stomped on the man’s chest.
Countless bones shattered, and the man spat out another mouthful of blood.
He writhed on the ground and screamed in agony.
“Do you think this hurts? This is just the beginning.”
A leaf appeared in Ye Chen’s hand. This was a herb he had picked from
Medicine King Valley. It was called the Body Cutting herb, and it was poisonous. If one consumed it, their soul would tremble, and their body would feel as if it was being bitten by tens of thousands of fire ants! However, if it was mixed with other herbs, it would have a great detoxification effect.
Ye Chen pried open his mouth and force-fed it to him.
The man snorted coldly. Just as he was about to speak, a wave of pain and agony swept through his body.
His body twitched and white foam came out of his mouth. His face was pale and his body was drenched in cold sweat.
He curled up into a ball and trembled. He was in so much pain that he almost peed his pants. His heart felt like it was about to explode!
This frightened him, and he honestly felt that this was worse than death.
He even felt that his entire body was beginning to fester and boil. This could not go on!
His trembling voice rang out, “I’ll talk, I’ll talk. It’s Zheng…”
Before he could finish his sentence, a gunshot rang out!
A bullet sped toward the man!
Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed as his hand flashed.
“How dare you use a gun in front of me. If I want him to live, no one has the right to take his life!”
A dart whistled through the air and pierced the bullet!
At this moment, the man finished his sentence…
“Young Master Zheng, Young Master Zheng of Capital City…”
