169: Chapter 169 Your Enemy Has Come Knocking

"Young Master Chu, please, have a seat."

Family Head Guan Suo was extremely obsequious, nodding and bowing.

He personally used his sleeve to wipe down Young Master Chu's seat.

Once Young Master Chu sat down, he asked unhurriedly, "I wonder what Young Master Chu would like to drink?"

"Just some plain tea will do," Chu Yuan said with a faint smile.

Family Head Guan Suo nodded hurriedly, then waved his hand to order a waiter to go prepare it immediately.

With the arrival of Chu Yuan, the entire hall quieted down, forming a sharp contrast to the previous bustle and excitement.

Before this, the atmosphere at the banquet scene had been very grand.

All the wealthy young masters and socialites were gathered in small groups, chatting loudly, with the sounds of string and wind instruments filling the air.

Now, because of the arrival of this top-tier young master, Chu Yuan, under the intimidation of his powerful aura, these wealthy youths spoke only in whispers, keeping their voices extremely low even when conversing.

Although Chu Yuan had just said it was merely a casual gathering and told everyone to act naturally.

The people present were not fools; they wouldn't truly act as they pleased just because Chu Yuan said they could.

All of them were putting on airs, trying their best to show their refined side, hoping to catch Young Master Chu's eye and leave a good impression in his mind.

Of course, the entire scene was not completely silent.

There was one place that appeared quite noisy.

This place was nothing special; it was where Ye Yun was located.

Ye Yun did not take Chu Yuan seriously at all. As the dignified Pluto, the master of the Nether Palace, even if he couldn't take action against Chu Yuan because of the Shanghai Chu Family, he didn't care about this wealthy young master.

He treated the hotel like his own home, continuing to eat and drink without restraint.

Mei Feng looked in the direction of the noise, and that detestable person appeared in her field of vision, causing Mei Feng to knit her brows tightly.

This damn guy, Ye Yun, who knows when he snuck into the banquet.

And he was still eating and drinking here like he hadn't eaten in ten lifetimes; it was simply incredibly embarrassing.

She didn't dare to go up and scold Ye Yun right now.

She was afraid that everyone present would find out that this embarrassing guy was her family's security guard.

As for the other wealthy youths, after casting a glance in Ye Yun's direction, they unanimously chose to stay away from him.

Invisibly, Ye Yun was directly ostracized by everyone.

Those who could come here were all prominent figures in Shanghai; their surface-level cultivation of manners had long been mastered, and their purpose in coming here was definitely not just to eat and drink.

It was likely only Ye Yun who dared to be so unscrupulous here, gorging on meat and drinking heavily, looking like he had never had a full meal in his life.

The Protagonist is the Protagonist; in order to highlight his personality, he is naturally different from those ordinary people.

With his methods, it was impossible not to attract attention.

Naturally, Ye Yun's outstanding performance also caught Chu Yuan's attention, and he inadvertently cast a glance in Ye Yun's direction.

Regarding such a Protagonist who liked to show off no matter where he went, Chu Yuan was also speechless.

"Very well, since you insist on showing off, then this young master will have to accommodate you."

Turning his head back, Chu Yuan fixed his gaze on Family Head Guan Suo.

"Family Head Guan, do you know what the background of that person eating and drinking over there is?"

Upon hearing this, Family Head Guan Suo was stunned on the spot, muttering to himself:

Isn't he just a stinky security guard? What kind of identity could he have that would make Young Master Chu personally inquire about him?

After thinking for a moment, Family Head Guan Suo really couldn't recall what identity this bodyguard might have, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "Young Master Chu, I think he's just a bodyguard with a mental illness; nothing special."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yuan chuckled, "A mere bodyguard? Family Head Guan, you are underestimating him too much. That guy is the head of the Nether Palace, the number one mercenary organization abroad, known as Pluto. He commands one hundred thousand mercenaries and has great influence."

Hearing this, Family Head Guan Suo was completely dumbfounded.

He had thought that the other party was just a bodyguard with a mental issue, which was why he dared to be so presumptuous here.

He didn't expect the other party to have such a profound background.

But before Family Head Guan Suo could think too much, Chu Yuan revealed another earth-shattering piece of information.

"Besides his identity as the head of the Nether Palace, he has another identity: he is the surviving remnant of the Ye Family from back then."

"According to what this young master knows, Ye Yun has hidden his identity and returned this time precisely to investigate the tragic case of the Ye Family being wiped out ten years ago."

"What, he... he is actually the... the Ye Family remnant? He returned this time... to take revenge?"

Family Head Guan Suo could no longer sit still; he stood up subconsciously, his face full of disbelief, stuttering several times, and even his limbs were trembling.

Chu Yuan was not the least bit surprised by the fearful behavior exhibited by Family Head Guan Suo.

As one of the main culprits behind the destruction of the Ye Family, upon learning that the Ye Family remnant, Ye Yun, had returned strongly to seek revenge against him,

his heart was naturally filled with immense panic, fearing that in the next moment, the other party would take his life.

Family Head Guan Suo's heart was in turmoil, and for a moment, he couldn't come to his senses.

It is unknown how much time passed before Family Head Guan Suo's heart finally calmed down.

His eyes were locked firmly on Ye Yun, who was still gorging himself there.

After pondering for a while, he finally fixed his gaze on Chu Yuan: "Young Master Chu, I have some urgent matters to attend to here, you see..."

"Go ahead and attend to your own affairs; you don't need to worry about this young master."

Chu Yuan nodded, his face indifferent.

Having received Chu Yuan's permission, Family Head Guan Suo then headed towards the banquet corridor.

At this moment, he found a woman, and the two seemed to be discussing something.

The woman was extremely graceful and quite attractive.

However, there was a hint of a tawdry air about her, which distinguished her from those wealthy young ladies.

Family Head Guan Suo whispered a few words in the woman's ear, and the woman then nodded.

What the two of them did not know was that this scene was completely seen by Chu Yuan.

After seeing their conversation, Chu Yuan seemed to have already guessed what this small villain, Family Head Guan Suo, intended to do.

Picking up the tea nearby, Chu Yuan drank it in one gulp.

"As expected of the last person to be dealt with by Ye Yun in the plot; not only is he shameless, but he is also unscrupulous in achieving his goals."

As a member of those who destroyed the Ye Family ten years ago, Family Head Guan Suo was the last one to be dealt with by Ye Yun.

Apart from his shamelessness and lack of limits in doing anything, he was the most insidious and cunning of them all.

In the plot, Family Head Guan Suo had designed to frame Ye Yun many times, and even almost took Ye Yun's life.

Although Chu Yuan disdained such low-class tactics, he didn't mind watching a good show.
