387: Chapter 387 Binglan's Boyfriend!

Ye Chen glanced at him and spoke indifferently, "I didn't ask for your name, and I don't care who you are."

The young man trembled with rage, pointing at Ye Chen's nose and roaring in fury.

"We'll see about this! You just wait!"

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow. "Any more nonsense and I'll cripple you."

The young man's expression changed, and he forced himself to swallow the words at the tip of his tongue.

The next second.

He glared fiercely at Ye Chen, turned, and ran faster than a rabbit, fearing Ye Chen would actually catch up and cripple him.

The surrounding crowd burst into laughter.

Someone whistled. "He runs so fast! It's a shame he's not in the Olympics!"

Another person shouted at the young man's back, "Buddy, there's still half a banana peel on your head!"

The young man stumbled but ran even faster, disappearing at the end of the parking lot in the blink of an eye.

Ye Chen withdrew his gaze and looked at Bing Lan.

"Should I take you to the hotel first, or the venue?"

Bing Lan shook her head, the corners of her lips curling slightly. "I don't have any luggage. Let's go straight to the venue."

Ye Chen nodded, put his arm around Bing Lan's waist, and walked toward the parking lot.

A low-profile Hongqi sedan was parked quietly there.

Yan Qingwu had prepared this yesterday, saying it was for Ye Chen's convenience while traveling in Shanghai.

Of course.

She didn't apply through the Dragon Group but went straight to a 4S dealership and paid in full...

Ye Chen opened the car door for Bing Lan to sit in the passenger seat, then walked around to the driver's seat and started the car.

The Hongqi sedan slowly drove out of the parking lot and merged into the morning traffic of Shanghai.

Bing Lan leaned against the seat and turned her head to look at Ye Chen.

"That young lady from the Yu Family, is she pretty?"

Ye Chen's hand on the steering wheel tightened slightly.

He gave a dry cough and stared straight ahead. "She's alright, I guess."

Bing Lan chuckled softly, a meaningful sound.

"Just alright?"

"Then why did she send you a WeChat message saying she's looking forward to seeing you again today?"

Ye Chen: "???"

He suddenly turned his head to look at Bing Lan.

Bing Lan was holding his phone, and the screen clearly displayed a message from Yu Xin.

"Mr. Ye, I look forward to seeing you again today."

The corner of Ye Chen's mouth twitched slightly.

What on earth was this girl sending?

He hadn't checked his WeChat after finishing his conversation with Bing Lan yesterday...

Ye Chen took a deep breath. "That... she was just thanking me for saving her. There's nothing else to it."

Bing Lan put down the phone and leaned back, saying indifferently, "I know."

"Then why did you ask?"

"Just teasing you."

Ye Chen: "..."

He suddenly felt that this woman had learned some bad habits.

She must have gotten tips from Li Qin.

Yes, definitely.

The car continued forward.

Not long after they set off, a deafening engine roar suddenly came from behind.

Ye Chen glanced through the rearview mirror.

Several sports cars of various colors were speeding toward them from behind.

The lead car was a bright yellow lamborghini.

The cars were extremely fast and caught up in the blink of an eye.

Then.

"Vroom—!"

The lamborghini suddenly accelerated and swerved, cutting directly in front of the Hongqi sedan.

The sports cars behind also accelerated, flanking from both sides, trapping the Hongqi sedan tightly in the middle.

Bing Lan's brow furrowed slightly.

Ye Chen remained calm, holding the steering wheel and following the car in front at a steady pace.

The sports cars didn't stop either, continuing to flank the Hongqi sedan as they drove side-by-side on the highway.

One of the car windows rolled down.

In the driver's seat of the McLaren parallel to Ye Chen, a man in his early forties poked his head out and grinned at Ye Chen.

That smile was incredibly arrogant.

"Kid! Didn't expect this, did you? We meet again so soon!"

It was the same Middle-aged Man who had been slapped into the trash can by Ye Chen in the parking lot earlier.

Ye Chen turned his head, glanced at him, and said indifferently, "The wind is too loud, I can't hear you."

The smile on the young man's face froze.

He slammed the steering wheel, his face so dark it looked like it could drip water.

"Can't hear me?"

"I'll make sure you can't hear anything!"

He suddenly jerked the steering wheel, and the McLaren slammed toward the Hongqi sedan!

Bing Lan's expression didn't change.

Because she knew...

Ye Chen would definitely be able to handle it.

In other words, was there anything Ye Chen couldn't solve?

As expected.

Ye Chen's hand on the steering wheel turned slightly.

The Hongqi sedan suddenly accelerated, followed by a beautiful drift. The car body shifted sideways, sliding past the front of the McLaren!

"Vroom—!"

The tires screeched violently against the ground, a sharp wail as blue smoke rose.

The next second.

The Hongqi sedan had already broken free from the surrounding sports cars, bursting through the gap and speeding away.

The young man sitting in the McLaren was completely stunned.

He stared wide-eyed, looking at the distant Hongqi in disbelief.

A drift?

In heavy traffic on the highway, he used a drift to avoid the collision?

And broke through the encirclement while he was at it?

The most ridiculous part was...

That car was just a civilian sedan!

His hands on the steering wheel trembled slightly.

The people in the surrounding sports cars were all dumbfounded.

"Holy crap... Is that kid a professional racer?"

"You can pull off a maneuver like that in a Hongqi?"

"Damn, with those driving skills, he'd definitely be a pro at Mount Akina..."

"Young Master Yu, are we still chasing?"

...

The young man's face turned pale and then flushed with anger.

He slammed the steering wheel and roared, "Chase! Get after him!"

Several sports cars suddenly accelerated, chasing in the direction the Hongqi sedan had disappeared.

But after chasing for a short distance, they found...

The Hongqi sedan had already vanished into the traffic, with not even a shadow left to be seen.

The young man stopped the car and slammed the steering wheel hard.

"Damn it!"

"I don't believe you can get away!"

He took out his phone and dialed a number.

"Hello? Track a Hongqi sedan for me! The license plate number is..."

A respectful voice came from the other end: "Yes, Young Master."

The young man hung up the phone, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes.

"Kid, you just wait."

"Once I find you, I'll definitely kill you!"

...

The Shanghai International Rough Stone Convention was held at the Oriental Pearl.

It was quite a grand spectacle.

Now.

Outside the entrance of the Oriental Pearl, luxury cars were gathered, and crowds of people—jewelers, representatives from major rough stone factories, and various socialites and noblewomen—were walking into the venue in small groups.

Ye Chen parked the car and walked toward the venue entrance with Bing Lan.

As soon as the two appeared, the surrounding gazes were drawn like magnets, all focusing on them at once.

Not because of Ye Chen.

But because of Bing Lan.

Even though she wore large sunglasses that covered most of her face, her cold temperament, graceful figure, and elegance in every movement made her instantly recognizable...

This was the superstar who was once famous across the country.

"Holy cow, is that Bing Lan?"

"It really is her! Why would she come to an event like this?"

"I heard she went into business after retiring from the industry. The Shuyue Group has grown quite large, but Shu Yue shouldn't be able to meet the threshold for the Rough Stone Convention..."

"Who's the guy next to her? Her boyfriend?"

"No way? Bing Lan has been single for so many years. How could she have a boyfriend?"

"That guy looks pretty young and decent-looking, but what's his background to be so close to Bing Lan?"

...

Whispers broke out one after another.

There was surprise, curiosity, doubt, and a hint of envy and jealousy.

How could they not be envious?

The once scandal-free Bing Lan had actually appeared in public so intimately with a man. Anyone would be green with envy...

Ye Chen ignored these gazes and led Bing Lan straight into the venue.

Just as they entered the main doors, a figure came to meet them.

It was Yu Xin.

Today she wore a pale purple qipao, her long hair tied up, revealing her slender neck, making her look elegant and dignified.

But when she saw Bing Lan, a complex emotion flashed deep in her eyes.

Her sense of competition grew even stronger.

But she quickly adjusted her expression, a proper smile appearing on her face.

"Mr. Ye, you're here!"

She walked forward quickly, her gaze turning to Miss Bing Lan. "This must be Miss Bing Lan? I've heard much about you."

Bing Lan took off her sunglasses, revealing a cold and exquisite face, the corners of her lips turning up slightly.

"Miss Yu, sorry for the intrusion."

The gazes of the two women met in the air.

That look...

Outsiders couldn't see anything, but both of them knew in their hearts.

This first round was a tie.

Neither of them flinched.

Just then, a hearty laugh came from behind Yu Xin.

"Hahaha! This must be Mr. Ye?"

A Middle-aged Man in his fifties strode forward with a warm smile, extending his right hand to Ye Chen.

He had an extraordinary aura, clearly a person who had long held a high position.

It was Yu Xin's father, the head of the Yu Family, Yu Baiyun.

Ye Chen reached out to shake his hand and smiled slightly. "Patriarch Yu, a pleasure to meet you."

Yu Baiyun held Ye Chen's hand and looked him up and down, his eyes full of admiration.

"Truly, a hero emerges from the youth!"

"My daughter's ailment was cured thanks to you!"

As he spoke, he looked at Bing Lan and nodded with a smile.

"Miss Bing Lan, I've heard much about you."

"Shuyue Group has been thriving these past few years. I've long wanted to make your acquaintance, but I just never had the chance."

"Coming to this Rough Stone Convention today is really giving me, Yu, a lot of face!"

Ye Chen smiled and said nothing.

Bing Lan nodded slightly and responded politely, "Patriarch Yu is too kind."

Yu Baiyun laughed and stepped aside, making a gesture of invitation.

"Come, come, please come inside!"

"At today's Rough Stone Convention, if you two see any rough stones you like, just say the word!"

"I'll make the call and give you both the best price!"

Ye Chen nodded and didn't stand on ceremony, leading Bing Lan into the venue.

Yu Xin followed beside them, her gaze occasionally falling on Bing Lan and then on Ye Chen, a strange feeling rising in her heart.

The women around this man were each more formidable than the last.

The eldest daughter of the Yan Family of the Capital was his assistant.

The superstar who was once famous across the country was his girlfriend.

And herself...

Yu Xin bit her lip and cheered herself on in her heart.

Yu Xin, oh Yu Xin, you're the eldest daughter of the Yu Family in Shanghai. What are you afraid of?

There's plenty of time ahead!
