50: I'm moving in tomorrow!
The moment the gunshot exploded, an anomaly suddenly occurred!
A black shadow darted out from the shadow of the booth like lightning!
It was the black cat!
It leaped up, sinking its sharp fangs fiercely into Sang Biao's gun-wielding wrist!
Ugh!
Sang Biao was caught off guard; the piercing pain made his trigger finger slip, and the bullet whizzed past, striking the speaker on the ceiling.
Where did this damned cat come from?! Get lost!
Startled and enraged, Sang Biao frantically shook his arm, flinging the black cat off.
The black cat flipped in the air, landed lightly, let out a "meow," and glanced at Sang Biao with utter disdain.
Then.
It flicked its tail and quickly darted under the nearby sofa, vanishing from sight.
But in that momentary delay... Ye Chen, like a phantom, had already dealt with the last standing man in black.
The next second!
His body flashed, and in an instant, he appeared before Sang Biao!
Sang Biao was about to raise his gun and aim again, but his vision blurred, and an agonizing pain shot through his wrist!
Crack!
Ye Chen grabbed his wrist and twisted hard; the handgun clattered to the floor.
His other hand clamped down on Sang Biao's throat like an iron vise, stifling all subsequent screams and threats.
Immediately after.
Ye Chen slightly tilted his head, glanced at the shadow where the black cat had vanished, and then slowly spoke to the desperately struggling Sang Biao.
Look...
Even a cat finds you unpleasant.
How much of a failure does that make you?
Sang Biao: "??"
Everyone present: "??"
That's not just killing the man, that's killing his spirit!
They wouldn't believe the black cat was controlled by a person.
But... this dramatic scene ironically confirmed Ye Chen's words: he was such a failure that even a cat had to take a bite!
Sang Biao's entire face turned the color of pig liver, his heart filled with shock and rage.
But remembering the person behind him... he immediately squeezed a threat through clenched teeth: "Kid... you dared to interfere with Dao Ye's business... you're dead... your whole family... is dead!"
Ye Chen's eyes instantly turned icy cold.
Family was his reverse scale!
This guy... dared to use his family to threaten him?
Anger flared in his heart, and he raised his foot and fiercely kicked Sang Biao in the abdomen!
Bang!
Sang Biao was sent flying backward as if hit by a charging wild bull, slamming heavily into the hard marble bar counter!
Clang—!
Bottles and glasses shattered across the floor. He curled up, convulsing in pain, unable even to scream.
Pain!
Too much pain!
Is this kid a devil?
Where did he get so much strength... But before he could recover.
Ye Chen had already stepped forward, grabbed his collar, and asked coldly, "What did you just say? Say it again?"
Meeting those cold, emotionless eyes, fear washed over Sang Biao like ice water. His lips trembled, unable to utter another word.
Ye Chen!
Jin Meiting suppressed her shock and urgently cried out, "Don't be rash! The power behind him is deeply entrenched, and you can't afford to provoke it! Let him go now!"
Ye Chen didn't let go; he just stared coldly at Sang Biao.
Just then!
Woo-wah—woo-wah—
Piercing police sirens approached rapidly, swiftly surrounding the entire bar!
Police! Everyone put your hands behind your heads! Get down!
Amidst the sharp shouts, Li Yao led his team rushing in, quickly taking control of the scene.
Seeing it was Li Yao, the killing intent in Ye Chen's heart subsided slightly, and he released his grip.
Sang Biao slid to the ground like a pile of mud, violently coughing while clutching his neck.
He had indeed harbored murderous intent just now... but reason told him it wasn't worth taking a life for someone like this!
Brother-in-law!
Li Yao spotted Ye Chen and strode forward. "What happened?"
He had recently received a report that someone had broken into the Black Rose Bar to commit a kidnapping!
That's why.
He brought his team here.
But he hadn't expected Master Brother-in-law to be here too, and it looked like he was involved?
Ye Chen took a deep breath: "Li Yao, I need a favor."
Li Yao's expression turned serious: "What favor? Name it!"
Ye Chen pointed toward Sang Biao and his group.
These people just tried to kidnap Miss Bing Lan. Please investigate their background thoroughly.
And... tell me.
Li Yao's eyes narrowed, and he nodded heavily: "Don't worry, leave it to me. I'll dig up all eighteen generations of his ancestors!"
Having finished speaking.
He nodded to Bing Lan and immediately directed his subordinates.
Cuff all these people!
Take them back to the station for strict interrogation!
The police quickly escorted Sang Biao and the others away, and order gradually returned to the bar.
Li Yao left some officers to handle the aftermath, while Ye Chen and the other two quietly departed.
On the street, the night breeze was slightly cool.
The three stood by the roadside, and the atmosphere was awkward.
After a long silence... Jin Meiting was the first to break it.
Lan Lan, since you already know about Wang Feng's matter, that means...
The evidence must be in your hands now, right?
I hope you hand it over to me.
That is the thing that can save your life.
Bing Lan looked directly at Jin Meiting: "That is the evidence my father exchanged his life for, and it is the key to bringing down Zheng Hu. Why should I hand it over to you?"
Jin Meiting took a deep breath.
Don't you understand yet?
If you keep holding onto the evidence, today's events will only keep repeating!
Next time... it might not just be in a bar!
The methods of that 'Dao Ye' in the Provincial City far exceed your imagination!
"I will protect her," Ye Chen interjected. "She is my boss."
You shut up!
Jin Meiting suddenly turned her head and glared, her chest heaving violently with agitation.
Ye Chen! Do you think being able to fight makes you omnipotent?
You have no idea how much trouble you've caused!
That 'Dao Ye' is not Zheng Hu; his influence is deeply entrenched, and he is absolutely not someone you can provoke!
Ye Chen was unmoved and countered: "You keep saying this is for Bing Lan's benefit, so tell us the whole truth, including about that Dao Ye and all your plans. Otherwise, how can we believe your empty words?"
Jin Meiting was choked by his words and remained silent for several seconds before speaking in a low voice.
Sometimes, not knowing the truth... is the best protection.
A black Land Rover Range Rover slid to a stop in front of the three of them.
Jin Meiting gave Bing Lan a long look, then turned toward Ye Chen.
Ye Chen, the seven-day deadline is approaching.
If you don't want anything to happen to the people around you, or Yi Yue and her father, then you should properly persuade Lan Lan...
Hand over the evidence; it will be better for everyone.
Having said that.
She didn't linger, pulled open the car door, and got in.
The Land Rover then merged into traffic and vanished into the night.
Once she left.
Bing Lan reached out to Ye Chen: "The USB drive, give it to me."
Ye Chen shook his head.
I can't give it to you now.
Zheng Hu forced me to get the evidence within seven days.
I need to use it, not just to protect your father's comrades, but also to completely bring down Zheng Hu, avenge your father, and ensure my family's safety.
I must see this matter through to the end.
Bing Lan looked quietly at Ye Chen for a good while, said nothing, and turned to walk toward the parking area.
Ye Chen immediately stepped forward to follow.
Bing Lan didn't look back: "Why are you still following me?"
Ye Chen quickened his pace, walked beside her, and cheekily said.
Boss, give me a chance?
Look at how I've been working as a driver: driving, taking bullets, beating people up, finding evidence... My scope of work is so broad. Even if I don't get credit, I deserve recognition for my hard work, right?
Besides, my 'fated person' persona hasn't been established yet. Do you really have the heart to fire me like this?
Bing Lan snorted coldly: "Would a normal employee be this shameless with their boss?"
No," Ye Chen shook his head.
Bing Lan glanced at him sideways: "Then why are you still doing it?"
Ye Chen rubbed his nose, looking sincere.
But the old man in my dream said that if a man isn't cheeky, he won't get a wife.
Bing Lan: "..."
Seeing she didn't object further, Ye Chen pushed his luck: "Well... Boss, just for safety, do I need to go over to your place and... stay tonight?"
He was testing the waters.
At the same time, he was worried that Dao Ye's people might stage a comeback.
Bing Lan still didn't say anything, she just opened the Ferrari door and got into the driver's seat.
Ye Chen shamelessly hurried around to the passenger seat and got in.
The car drove out of the parking lot and merged into the night.
A long silence followed.
Just as Ye Chen was feeling frustrated, thinking Bing Lan wouldn't speak again... Bing Lan suddenly broke the silence: "You go back tonight, and move in tomorrow."
Huh?" Ye Chen was stunned.
Bing Lan stared straight ahead: "Is there a problem?"
No problem!
Joy surged in Ye Chen's heart.
Good heavens... good things come to those who wait!
Sure enough, if you pester a woman long enough, she'll agree...
