Chapter 658: Torturing Scumbag (1)

Translator: _Min_

He was dressed in a modified Xia uniform, his feet clad in green boots, presenting an overall appearance that was rustic yet austere.

Yet beneath this simplicity, an aura of seasoned solemnity emanated powerfully, instilling a sense of dread.

Whether among the three aristocratic families or the four major alliances, it was always the capable who rose to the top.

This was especially true for the leader of the Thousand Army Alliance.

Martial prowess was undoubtedly a prerequisite, as the leader must surpass all peers.

In addition, a deep understanding of various military strategies was essential.

Xiao Wenjian’s position as the leader of the Thousand Army Alliance was backed by an iron-fisted reputation.

He had his hands stained with the blood of many foes, never being one to shy away from necessary ruthlessness.

Yet, standing beside him in a jade green cheongsam, Mu Qingmeng softened the fierce aura surrounding him.

Together, they made a striking pair.

Ye Zhenmian was momentarily taken aback, “Sir, and lady, you are…”

Si Fuqing had mentioned that guests would be visiting, but Ye Zhenmian hadn’t expected them to arrive so soon.

“Mrs. Nian need not worry. Since I’ve stumbled upon this situation, I will see to its resolution,” Xiao Wenjian declared, his experience evident in his calm demeanor. “I’ve dealt with such matters frequently enough to have become quite proficient.”

Ye Zhenmian, bewildered and unsure of how to proceed, was reassured as Mu Qingmeng stepped forward, gently grasping her hand with a warm smile, “Mrs. Nian, let’s talk over here. I am a patient of Qingqing’s, and I am also here to express my gratitude to her…”

“In broad daylight, two grown men bullying a lady,” Xiao Wenjian’s gaze swept across coldly, his tone icy. “But at least you’re aware enough to know you’re attempting a robbery.”

“Who are you?” Ye’s father bristled at the interruption, indignantly asserting,

“What right do you have to meddle in our family affairs?”

Even if his request for Ye Zhenmian to hand over the restaurant to Ye Huai’an was intended for her benefit.

As he believed, Ye Zhenmian lacked business acumen.

Had Ye Huai’an been managing the restaurant, the revenue would have already increased manifold.

Ye Zhenmian wouldn’t need to worry or work hard, and could enjoy the profits. What could be objectionable about that?

Moreover, a daughter is like waterpoured out—a son is the true inheritor of the family business.

Ye Huai’an, however, felt uneasy, “Dad, maybe we should come back another time.”

His son Ye Yuan was into eSports and had acquaintances in the Thousand

Dragon Gang, he had also met some rough types through these connections.

This man in the boots had an aura similar to those gang members, clearly not someone to be trifled with.

“What do you mean, another time?” Ye’s father slammed the table. “If she doesn’t give you the restaurant today, tomorrow that so-called star will be trending online.”

Let the netizens see what kind ofingrate Si Fuqing is, and how she treats her own relatives.

Xiao Wenjian’s eyes turned icy. Without further ado, he stepped forward, grabbed them both by the collar.

In the next instant, with a loud “bang,” Ye Huai’an and Ye’s father’s heads were smashed together, stars erupting before their eyes.

Xiao Wenjian’s movements were swift and brutal, catching the father and son off-guard.

Grabbing their shoulders, he threw them out of the restaurant.

Afterward, wiping his hands, Xiao Wenjian coldly ordered, “Shuihan, take them away. I don’t want to see them on this street again.”

JIANG Shuihan nodded, and two guards from the Thousand Army Alliance taken Ye Huai’an and Ye’s father away from the street.

The restaurant quieted down. Ye Zhenmian stood in silence, wondering if she had somehow wandered into a martial arts novel.

“Ms. Ye and they are family, it’s difficult for her to act. I’ll be the bad guy and take care of this,” Xiao Wenjian remarked casually, “It’s also my oversight for not providing more guards to prevent such nuisances.”

Ye Zhenmian had never been to the city of Sijiu or encountered any significant forces.

But anyone who could command “guards” surely came from a family with a notable background.

Observing Xiao Wenjian’s extraordinary demeanor and commanding presence, despite his simple dress, it was clear he was no ordinary man.

“Thank you, sir, ” Ye Zhenmian calmed down and expressed her gratitude, then inquired, “May I ask who you are?”

“Identity is not important; what matters is fate,” Xiao Wenjian smiled, “I am older than Ms. Ye by a few years, my surname is Xiao, and my name is Wenjian. You can call me ‘big brother,’ and this is my wife, Mu Qingmeng.”

Mu Qingmeng, overhearing this, gave a suspicious glance, “You’re not trying to take advantage of Qingqing by trying to go one generation above her, are you?”

Xiao Wenjian was taken aback, “Injustice, my lady! I would never entertain such thoughts.”

Ye Zhenmian quickly understood, addressing them respectfully, “Brother Xiao, Lady Xiao. ”

“Mrs.. Nian is straightforward,” Xiao Wenjian hesitated slightly, then asked,

“May I know where Miss Si is currently?”
