Chapter 243: Chapter 243 Where Huang Quan Goes, the Blood Cloth Guards Follow

One drink led to another. Soon, the two bottles of whiskey were empty.

Shen Monong was slumped over the booth’s table, completely unconscious.

”You keep dancing. I’m going to take your fiancée home first,” Ye Xiu said to the still-dancing Lian Zhengrong before hoisting Shen Monong over his shoulder and walking out.

The onlookers gasped. He had gotten Lian Zhengrong’s fiancée drunk right in front of him, given him a heads-up, and then simply carried her away. Even an idiot could guess what Ye Xiu planned to do with the unconscious Shen Monong.

”If I, Lian Zhengrong, do not avenge this, I shall die with eternal regret!”

Once Ye Xiu’s figure disappeared from view, Lian Zhengrong stopped dancing and furiously smashed a booth to dust with one slap of his hand. This wasn’t just an insult to him alone. It was an insult to the entire Lian Family.

In fact, before Ye Xiu came to Qingfeng Road, he had only intended to destroy the marriage alliance between the Shen and Lian Families. He had no plans to move against the Lian Family, since he had no grudge against them; his target was the Shen Family. However, after learning that Lian Chengbi had bribed two convicts to assassinate his uncle, Kong Dongming, ten years ago, Ye Xiu’s murderous intent had turned toward the Lian Family.

「The next morning.」

Shen Monong woke up exhausted, a sudden feeling that something was wrong washing over her. This wasn’t her room.

”You’re awake?”

Just then, Ye Xiu walked in. ”You were dead drunk last night, so I brought you to a hotel.”

Dead drunk? A hotel?

The two words hit her like a bomb, leaving her completely stunned.

She hurriedly lifted the blanket to peek inside. She saw she was still fully clothed and felt no physical discomfort.

She looked up at Ye Xiu, bewildered. ”You... you didn’t touch me last night?”

”Why would I touch you?” Ye Xiu countered.

Shen Monong was speechless. She was well aware of how beautiful, sexy, and alluring she was. How could any man possibly control himself with her lying there, passed out from drink?

”You... you really didn’t touch me?”

Shen Monong couldn’t believe it, unless Ye Xiu wasn’t a man.

”I have a wife, and she’s prettier than you. I’m not interested in other women,” Ye Xiu said calmly.

Shen Monong felt insulted. Was this man looking down on her?

My God! Could such a man really exist? Even if he was married to a beautiful wife, how could he not touch a gorgeous, drunken woman who was right there for the taking?

”You really didn’t touch me?” Shen Monong asked again, seeking confirmation.

”Absolutely not,” Ye Xiu said with a straight face.

Heh. As if I’d tell you the truth about whether I touched you or not. Absolutely not. I couldn’t admit it even if it killed me.

”I carried you away right in front of Lian Zhengrong last night. He won’t marry you now, right?” Ye Xiu asked, changing the subject.

Shen Monong instantly understood his plan and replied with a bitter smile, ”The marriage alliance between the Shen and Lian Families isn’t as simple as you think. The Shen Family knows perfectly well how messy Lian Zhengrong’s private life is, but they still insist on marrying me to him. And even if I were a total slut, Lian Zhengrong would still marry me. This was always a political marriage. Both families just want to share resources—they don’t care about anything else.”

Ye Xiu was speechless. ”Are you saying I went through all that trouble last night for nothing?”

”Not entirely. You’ve made a powerful enemy of the Lian Family. They won’t let you go,” Shen Monong said, a worried look on her face.

”So it really was all for nothing!”

A headache started to form, and Ye Xiu waved his hand dismissively. ”I have things to do, so I’m leaving. You should get up, get washed, and head home too.”

With that, he left.

”Hey, wait! Don’t go! I don’t even know your name! At least leave your number!” Shen Monong shouted.

”We’ll meet again,” Ye Xiu’s voice floated back.

”Hmph, trying to act all cool,” Shen Monong pouted. ”He must be playing hard to get. I’ve seen that trick a million times.”

「Four Seasons Flower City.」

Kong Dongming, Qiu Yunxuan, and Kong Ruoruo were packing their bags, preparing to return to Jin Ye City.

A knock came at the door.

Kong Ruoruo ran to open it and saw a beautiful woman standing outside. ”May I ask who you’re looking for?”

”My name is Leng Yue. Master Ye Xiu sent me to escort you back to Jin Ye City,” Leng Yue said with a smile.

Wherever Huang Quan went, the Blood Cloth Guards followed like a shadow. When Ye Xiu had departed for Qingfeng Road the day before, Leng Yue had already led the Blood Cloth Guards out, tasked with protecting the Kong Family and escorting the family of three back to Jin Ye City.

Leng Yue was actually quite surprised. The Blood Cloth Guards were Huang Quan’s personal guard, his most trusted force, and for ten years, they had served him exclusively. Wherever Huang Quan was, the Blood Cloth Guards were there. This time, however, Ye Xiu had ordered the Blood Cloth Guards to escort Kong Dongming’s family to Jin Ye City. This was the first time the Blood Cloth Guards had ever operated so far from Huang Quan. But this also proved how important the Kong Family was to him.

”Oh! Please, come in!” Realizing her cousin had sent her, Kong Ruoruo eagerly invited her inside.

Leng Yue smiled, nodded, and stepped into the apartment. ”You only need to pack your IDs and other important documents. There’s no need to bring anything else. Everything is provided for in Jin Ye City.”

”We should still bring them. It would be a waste to throw all this away,” said Qiu Yunxuan.

”Honestly, you’ll probably just throw these things out when you get to Jin Ye City. The Master has prepared only the very best for you,” Leng Yue explained.

Kong Dongming, Qiu Yunxuan, and Kong Ruoruo exchanged glances. They were now fully convinced that Ye Xiu was incredibly wealthy.

”In that case, let’s take Ye Xiu up on his generosity and live a little. We’ll leave all this stuff behind,” Kong Dongming said with a laugh.

”Should we leave now?” Kong Ruoruo asked, unable to wait. She was dying to see what Ye Xiu had prepared for her family in Jin Ye City.

”Let’s go!” Qiu Yunxuan declared with a grand wave of her hand.

When they got downstairs, the Kong Family was stunned. Downstairs, a fleet of 10 luxury cars was parked, each one worth over ten million.

”These... are all of these to escort us?” Kong Dongming stammered.

”Please, get in,” Leng Yue said with a gentle smile.

The Kong Family climbed into the cars in a daze, their minds buzzing. This sudden leap from an ordinary existence to the life of the super-rich was too much for them to adapt to all at once.

As the convoy left the Four Seasons Flower City neighborhood, a shabby old man squatting and smoking across the street took out his phone and made a call.

”Kong Dongming’s family has left Four Seasons Flower City. They have an escort of nine luxury cars. They’re probably on their way to Jin Ye City to find Ye Xiu.”

A sinister voice replied from the other end of the line, ”Get the item back. Bring Qiu Yunxuan and Kong Ruoruo back, too. As for Kong Dongming... kill him.”
