127: He made me shit again!

Jincheng, Dragon Shield Security Group headquarters building.

Top floor, General Manager's office.

Wang Tian leaned back in his wide leather executive chair, a thick cigar between his fingers. Smoke swirled around him, making his fleshy face look somewhat sinister.

"How is the gathering coming along?"

The person in front of him was none other than Yin Huaizi, who had been beaten to the point of shitting himself. He bowed slightly, a hint of ruthlessness and excitement flashing in his eyes.

"Reporting to Chief Wang, in accordance with your orders, all one hundred and eight Hidden Guards have responded and are gathering from various locations."

"Among them, ninety-nine are in the Grandmaster Realm, and eight are Grandmasters. They have been arriving at the designated locations on the outskirts of Jincheng to await further orders."

"Lord Ying... has also sent word. He will arrive within half an hour."

He paused, a fawning smile appearing on his face.

"Additionally, as per your instructions, the 'process' targeting Ye Chen's secular assets has been initiated."

"Over at the Tiangong Clubhouse, our people were clean and discreet. The items were hidden well, and combined with the tip-off call to headquarters..."

"At this moment, Ye Chen has likely been 'invited' by the police for tea. His Tiangong is also in a state of chaos; a suspension of operations for investigation is unavoidable."

"As long as we move fast enough, taking advantage of him being tied up in legal battles and unable to attend to other matters, we can operate in the shadows. Swallowing his assets in Xiamen City will be as easy as turning over a hand."

"By the time he gets out..."

Yin Huaizi chuckled twice, his eyes filled with malice.

"What he sees will be empty buildings and assets that have changed hands."

"When that time comes, we'll grab those women, parents, and friends around him one by one, and right in front of him..."

He made a throat-slitting gesture and didn't continue, but the meaning was self-evident.

Their plan was simple and insidious.

And this was the "process" they had meticulously prepared for Ye Chen—

From physical to spiritual, from wealth to family, piece by piece, crush him! Destroy him!

As Wang Tian listened to Yin Huaizi's report, the flesh on his face slowly relaxed, eventually turning into a hideous grin.

"Very good."

"Pass down the word. Once the experts from all paths have gathered..."

Wang Tian suddenly stood up and walked to the massive floor-to-ceiling window, looking in the direction of Xiamen City.

His voice was filled with cold killing intent and the certainty of total control.

"We will set out for Xiamen City."

"This time..."

"I want that ignorant little brat Ye Chen to see for himself what true despair looks like!"

But just then!

"Bang!"

The office door was pushed open, and a female secretary in a professional skirt suit burst in.

"Manager Wang, something is wrong!"

Wang Tian frowned, his gaze turning cold. "What's the panic? Where are your manners?!"

Yin Huaizi also turned around, glaring at the secretary with dissatisfaction.

He had just been fantasizing about the image of Ye Chen being dismembered... To be interrupted now—how could he be pleased?

The secretary's face turned pale with fear, and she stammered, "Manager Wang... I'm sorry! But outside, three people have arrived, demanding to see you immediately!"

"Three people?" The smile on Wang Tian's face vanished, and his gaze became sharp. "Who are they?"

"I-I don't know..." The secretary shook her head, her voice trembling. "But two of them... are wearing police uniforms!"

Police uniforms?

Wang Tian and Yin Huaizi exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of surprise in the other's eyes, which was immediately replaced by contempt.

Police?

Two police officers? How could they possibly come knocking?

Hmph!

Ignorant fools, I'll go meet you right now!

A flash of disdain crossed Wang Tian's eyes.

Then.

He reached out and slapped the secretary's tight buttocks.

"Go, lead the way."

"I'd like to meet them."

"Yes!" The secretary felt as if she had been granted a reprieve. She quickly lowered her head and turned to lead the way.

The three of them took the private elevator down to the VIP reception room on the third floor.

The reception room was luxuriously decorated with leather sofas, mahogany coffee tables, and expensive abstract paintings on the walls.

At that moment, three people were sitting on the sofa.

Two men and one woman.

One man and one woman were dressed in crisp police uniforms, their epaulettes indicating they held significant rank.

The young man sitting between them was dressed in simple casual clothes, his expression calm.

As soon as Wang Tian stepped in, his gaze locked onto the young man's face.

Because this face... he was all too familiar with it!

It had appeared countless times in files and photos!

Wang Tian narrowed his eyes. "You are... Ye Chen???"

Ye Chen slowly stood up and met Wang Tian's gaze.

"That's right, I am Ye Chen."

"And you are the person in charge of Dragon Shield Security Group, Wang Tian?"

Wang Tian's eyelid twitched. The ominous premonition in his heart grew stronger, but he kept his expression composed.

"I am indeed Wang."

"May I ask what brings Mr. Ye here in person?"

Inside, however, a storm was brewing!

Why was Ye Chen here?

According to the plan, Ye Chen should currently be held by the police in an interrogation room in Xiamen City, overwhelmed with trouble!

How could he suddenly appear in Jincheng?balance

And even bring two police officers directly to his door?

Could it be... that the matter at Tiangong has been exposed?

No, impossible!

They had been very clean, and the tip-off call had been routed through layers of encryption. It was impossible for the trail to lead back to Dragon Shield so quickly!

Ye Chen didn't speak. He just looked at Wang Tian calmly and took a few steps toward him.

Wang Tian felt inexplicably unnerved by his gaze and subconsciously took a step back.

But this retreat made him feel he was losing face. He gave a dry cough. "Mr. Ye, if there's nothing else..."

Before he could finish his sentence.

Ye Chen moved!

Amidst everyone's shocked, stunned, and disbelieving expressions, he swung his right hand in a wide arc. Accompanied by a heart-stopping whistling sound, he delivered a vicious slap to Wang Tian's fleshy face!

"Slap—!!!"

The crisp, loud sound of the slap exploded in the silent reception room like a clap of thunder!

Wang Tian was sent spinning half a turn by the slap. His left cheek swelled up at a visible rate, and five clear finger marks quickly emerged!

Stars danced before his eyes, his ears rang, and he was completely dazed.

Beside him, Li Yao and Bai Shanshan suddenly stood up, their faces filled with shock and bewilderment!

They never expected... that Ye Chen would strike without saying a word!

This... this wasn't according to procedure!

Yin Huaizi and the female secretary were scared out of their wits, frozen in place, not daring to breathe.

Wang Tian clutched his burning, painful cheek and stumbled back two steps, leaning against the wall.

He looked up, staring at Ye Chen in disbelief.

"You... you actually dare to hit me?!"

"Ye Chen! Do you know where this is?! Do you know who I am?!"

Ye Chen's gaze was calm as he pointed at Yin Huaizi.

"He's your man, right?"

"Last time, in Shanyao Town, I already warned him."

"Tell your Hidden Sect to stop causing trouble."

"But not only did you refuse to listen, you doubled down and used such low-handed methods like framing me."

"Is there a problem with me hitting you?"

Wang Tian: "???"

Ye Chen looked at Wang Tian's changing expression and spoke flatly.

"I'll give you two choices now."

"First, be beaten to shit by me, and then tell me where the Hidden Sect's nest is, and where your Young Lady and Sect Master are."

Wang Tian: "???"

Ye Chen held up a second finger.

"Second, you get beaten to shit by me, and then tell me where the Hidden Sect's nest is, and where your Young Lady and Sect Master are."

Wang Tian: "???"

The flesh on his face twitched violently, his eyes bulged, and his mind was a mess.

Is... is there a damn difference?!

Aren't both options getting beaten to shit and then talking?!

Was this kid playing with him?!

Wang Tian's chest heaved violently, a surge of wicked fire mixed with shame and anger rushing to his head.

"Ye Chen! You're looking for death!!!"

He roared, and his internal energy erupted!

The pressure of a peak Grandmaster was released without reservation. The air in the reception room instantly froze, and the glass cups on the coffee table began to crack one by one!

Yin Huaizi and the secretary were forced back by the momentum, their faces turning pale.

Li Yao and Bai Shanshan also felt a chill in their hearts. They subconsciously tensed their bodies, their hands moving toward the pistols at their waists.

However, just as Wang Tian's aura reached its peak and he was about to strike—

Ye Chen moved.

There was no world-shaking aura, no flashy moves.

He just casually lifted his right foot and took a step forward.

Then... he kicked.

Wang Tian's vision blurred. Before he could make any reaction, a tearing pain erupted from his lower abdomen!

"Thud—!!!"

Just as the dull sound of impact rang out, Wang Tian's obese body, weighing over two hundred pounds, was sent flying backward as if hit head-on by a speeding truck!

"Boom—!!!"

He slammed heavily into the thick wall of the reception room. The decorative wooden panels embedded in the wall instantly cracked and caved in!

Wang Tian slumped to the ground like a pile of mud, paralyzed in the corner.

His eyes bulged, his mouth hung wide open, and he couldn't say a single word.

There was agonizing pain in his lower abdomen, and a strange, overbearing force, like a drill, pierced through his body, violently impacting his internal organs and finally... reaching his back door!

"Pfft—Splosh!!!"

A sound even louder and more unrestrained than Yin Huaizi's last time suddenly erupted from Wang Tian's lower body!

A stench so intense it was almost tangible spread out, quickly filling the entire luxurious reception room!

A large yellowish-brown stain quickly soaked through the back of Wang Tian's handmade suit trousers, rapidly expanding and becoming wet...
