Chapter 17: Bending The Rules
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The one speaking was a dwarf. He was sneered at Ye Xiong while ignoring Ye Xiong’s glare.
Ye Xiong stood up and went towards the group of muscular men.
“You’ve no idea what you’re up against. Let’s teach him a lesson.” The broad-mouth man threatened.
The muscular dwarf stepped forward and threw a solid punch towards Ye Xiong’s face.
As he threw his punch, the person before him disappeared. Before the muscular dwarf was able to react, he was brutally kicked in the stomach. He bent over in tremendous pain. He did not even know how Ye Xiong had attacked.
“How dare you hit my brother.”
Ye Xiong picked up the muscular dwarf. Slap slap slap. Ye Xiong slapped him at least ten times in a row until his face was as swollen as a pig’s face. After that, he kicked him in the stomach, sending him flying a few meters away.
Everything happened in an instant. The muscular dwarf had already fainted by the time the broad-mouth man reacted.
“You b*stard, do you know who we are? Things don’t end well for those who defy us.” The broad-mouth man threatened.
“Before that, things won’t end well for you guys.”
Ye Xiong strode as he started going all out. He threw his punches left and right and, after some time, the broad-mouth man and his thugs fell to the ground. None of them could get back up.
To Ye Xiong, dealing with this trash was no different from stepping on ants.
“I’m warning you. We’re Brother Bao’s subordinates from the Northwest Association. Brother Bao will never forgive you if you hurt me.” The broad-mouth muscular man immediately threatened Ye Xiong with Brother Bao’s name when he realized just how fierce Ye Xiong was.
Slap!
He took a slap to his face so hard that his huge body turned around. Ye Xiong then asked coldly, “Which association did you say you’re from?”
“The Northwest Association!”
Slap!
Another slap was thrown at his face. Ye Xiong then questioned him once more. “I didn’t hear what you said properly. Which association are you from?”
“The Northwest Association.”
Slap!
The third slap had sent a few of the broad-mouth man’s teeth flying about.
Only then did the broad-mouth man realize that this guy was not afraid of the Northwest Association. It could even be said that, perhaps, he wanted to assault the people from the Northwest Association.
“Go back and tell Brother Bao and He Haodong that I’ll pay them a good visit one day,” Ye Xiong said coldly.
“Who are you?” The broad-mouth man was shocked.
He must be someone capable if he dared to speak to He Haodong like that.
“Didn’t He Haodong once order his men to turn over all of Jiangnan City in order to find me? How could you forget about me so quickly?” Ye Xiong scoffed.
The broad-mouth man was shocked. He finally knew who Ye Xiong was. He was the man who had disrupted Master He’s wedding. He then heard that Scarface had sent some men to apprehend him, but they had all been beaten up. He had not expected to encounter Ye Xiong here.
He was incredibly unfortunate!
The broad-mouth man touched his face. Not even Scarface could hold a candle against Ye Xiong, which meant that he would only get injured if this continued. Hence, he prepared himself to leave quietly.
“You’ve hit my friend; do you really think you I’ll let you off the hook so easily?” Ye Xiong scoffed.
“Big Brother Ye, what more do you want from me?” The broad-mouth man turned around and looked incredibly dejected.
“Pay up.”
“How much?”
“All the money you have on you.”
The broad-mouth man had no other choice and took out the few thousand dollars he had. He considered himself unlucky since he had met the God of Death.
“You guys too. Everyone pay up.”
The few thugs on the ground had no choice but to hand over their wallets. After Ye Xiong took all their money, he threw the wallets back at them and scoffed. “Get lost!”
The group of thugs immediately stood up and left.
Ye Xiong waved the stack of money in his hand and smiled at Wang Tong. “There should be around ten thousand dollars here, is this enough to buy your Die Da Medicine?” (TN: A Chinese remedy to treat bruises, joint pain, etc.)
“It’s enough to buy an entire bucket to bath in.” Wang Tong was speechless.
While the group had been incredibly gangster-like he had not expected Ye Xiong to be worse than them.
What shocked Wang Tong even more was that Ye Xiong was a powerhouse. He really had misjudged Ye Xiong.
Ye Xiong turned around and realized that Du Yuehua and Lil Mei were standing at the entrance of the office, their eyes were shining as they looked at him. It was as if they had seen a monster.
Then, Ye Xiong’s vanity took over and he could not help himself. He leaned against the wall, hugging himself with one hand while he moved his other hand through his hair. He then posed in the coolest way he knew and smirked. “Hey, you two beautiful ladies, have you realized that I’m even more handsome now?”
Pfft!
Lil Mei had never seen such a shameless guy before. However, she had been incredibly happy when Ye Xiong beat the thugs into a pulp.
She had been dealing with those thugs for a long time.
“President Du, I told you that I’m strong in many aspects. I didn’t lie to you, did I?” Ye Xiong laid his gaze on Du Yuehua’s body.
“Pervert!” Du Yuehua scolded.
Although she blurted out the word, her expression seemed to suggest that she did not hate the remark at all.
“I’m going to correct you there. Guys are not perverted, only girls are perverted.” (TN: Author has made a pun that’s impossible to translate to English here. 下流 means pervert, but if one were to separate and define the words separate, it can also mean leaking from down below.)
“Have you never read a book. Pervert is only used on guys. No one says that girls are perverted.” Lil Mei refuted.
“Who said so. Girls will leak down below (TN: Pun has been made and explained to the girls) for a few days every month.” Ye Xiong giggled.
Lil Mei pondered for a moment before her face turned red.
She swore that she had never seen such a shameless man in her life.
Du Yuehua rolled her eyes at Ye Xiong as she said rudely, “Come in with me, I’ll discuss it with you. Lil Mei, bring this gentleman here to the clinic and check his injuries.”
“Are you going to negotiate with him personally?” Lil Mei was dumbfounded.
“That’s right. Go now!” Du Yuehua hushed.
“But you’ve seen this guy’s personality. Aren’t you afraid that he will unleash his lust in the office and take you as…”
“How could you say such a thing.” Ye Xiong interrupted while Lil Mei was speaking. Ye Xiong then replied unhappily, “President Du didn’t even say anything about that. Why are you still complaining? Oh, I know why now. You must be jealous that President Du has taken an interest in me and you can’t make peace with it.”
“Even if the entire male population died out, I’d never be interested in you. Look at that stupid look of yours.” Lil Mei started insulting him.
“My name is Ye Xiong. It’s only natural that I look stupid. (TN: Author has made another pun. 雄样 in Chinese means a stupid look. And Ye Xiong’s Xiong is written as 雄.) Just look at you, you’re Lil Mei and you look incredibly unfortunate!” (TN: 倒霉, Dao Mei, in Chinese means unfortunate. Author has done another wordplay here. Lil Mei looks unfortunate because she has the word Mei in her name.)
“You…”
Lil Mei was utterly speechless.
She had not thought that Ye Xiong could pack a punch with his words as well. She then walked angrily towards Wang Tong and said, “Lil Bean, let’s go?”
“Don’t call me Lil Bean. It makes you sound high and mighty.” Wang Tong pouted as he responded unhappily.
“At least I’m taller than you.”
“Try and do it again but without your high heels this time.” Wang Tong pointed at her high heels that were at least ten centimeters tall.
“I’ll ignore you if you don’t want to come.” Lil Mei was angry.
The two argued as they left together.
After they left, Ye Xiong giggled and said to Du Yuehua, “President Du, let’s go inside!”
“Okay.”
Du Yuehua turned around and locked the door, preventing anyone from entering.
When Ye Xiong saw this, it further solidified his guess. This beautiful yet old President must have been attracted by his mighty aura and had decided to bend the rules for him.
‘Sigh. Although I’m not a man who would sleep around, it’s hard for me to reject if someone is so sincere about it.’
Hence, Ye Xiong started taking off his shirt.
