175: Chapter 175 The plaster sticks on again.

At Mo Chou's reminder, Ye Yun felt a sudden sense of enlightenment.

The reason Mei Feng was so angry was simply that she cared too much about him.

If he continued to act recklessly, he would certainly keep offending Chu Yuan, who would then find an excuse to deal with him, or even kill him.

Therefore, Mei Feng was using this angry display to indirectly remind him that he must learn to be patient.

Whether to save his own life or to not let down Mei Feng's good intentions, Ye Yun had decided to continue playing the submissive role.

It was just playing submissive, wasn't it? In any case, he had already shouldered the blame for mistakes he shouldn't have.

One day, when he defeated Chu Yuan fair and square, he would be able to exact his revenge a thousandfold.

Thinking of this, Ye Yun lowered his noble head and said softly, "It was my fault."

"Oh? And where were you wrong?"

"I..."

Ye Yun stammered, while Mo Chou, standing behind him, cheered his brother on, "Brother, hold your ground. You must hold your ground."

"It was my fault. I shouldn't have coveted that lady's beauty and reached out with wandering hands."

"Afterwards, to cover up my mistake, I even tried to shift the blame and used force to silence her."

"Every mistake, all of them, were mine—Ye Yun's—alone."

Once these words were out, Ye Yun felt as if every ounce of strength had been drained from his body. He had never uttered so many submissive, pleading words in his entire life.

To think that he, the dignified Master of the Nether Palace, the ruler of the dark world, had ever had to grovel and scrape to survive like this.

But now, whether to save his life or to not let down Mei Feng's good intentions, he had no choice but to compromise.

After hearing Ye Yun admit the truth again, Mei Feng's eyes were filled with endless disgust, and her heart burned with anger.

If, earlier, there had been a chance that Ye Yun had been framed...

...then now, with Ye Yun admitting it twice himself, it was already a proven case.

"Since you already know you were wrong, this young master can't be bothered to waste any more time on a clown like you."

"Someone! Give this trash a good beating and throw him out. This young master never wants to see such trash again."

Upon receiving Chu Yuan's order, the security guards, who had been waiting in the wings, swarmed forward. They hauled the kneeling Ye Yun up and immediately began raining punches and kicks upon him.

Ye Yun, already trembling in fear of Chu Yuan, completely forgot to fight back. He let the security guards' sandbag-sized fists rain down on him, leaving him battered and bruised.

Possessing the constitution of a cockroach, Ye Yun was more resilient than the average person, so he simply became a punching bag for the security guards to vent their frustrations on.

After the beating, the security guards dragged the unrecognizable Ye Yun away and tossed him outside the venue.

Although Ye Yun had been forcibly thrown out, the banquet was still buzzing with legends about him.

At this moment, he had become the talk of the town among the upper circles of the Magic Capital.

Beaten like a dead dog and dragged out, Ye Yun still didn't forget to look back. He fixed a fierce, hateful, and angry glare on Chu Yuan.

He gritted his teeth, secretly swearing in his heart that he would not be a man if he didn't avenge this. He would definitely make Chu Yuan pay a painful price.

"Ding! Due to the host's actions, Protagonist Ye Yun has admitted to molesting a woman, causing him to become notorious and destabilizing his mental state. The host has gained 5000 villain points."

"Ding! A friendly reminder to the host: Protagonist Ye Yun's hatred for the host has reached an irreconcilable level."

The system's notification sounded once again in Chu Yuan's mind.

Watching the dead dog being dragged away, a smile appeared on Chu Yuan's face.

This kid was already losing his cool so quickly; he couldn't handle the game.

This was only the beginning; there were more fun things waiting for him.

As for the system's warning about their irreconcilable enmity, Chu Yuan didn't care in the slightest.

A clown like this—even if he played with him until the very end, Chu Yuan would absolutely never allow him to remain in this world.

Although Ye Yun had been thrown out, the events that had just transpired had already dampened everyone's spirits. At this point, they had no heart to continue the banquet.

Having lost his plaything, Ye Yun, Chu Yuan was the first to leave.

The entire banquet ended on a sour note, and all the wealthy heirs went their separate ways.

In front of the hotel, Family Head Guan Suo respectfully opened the car door for Chu Yuan.

After Chu Yuan got into the car, he respectfully closed the door for him.

With that groveling demeanor, he looked nothing like the head of the Guan Family, but rather like a sycophantic clown.

With a roar of the engine, Chu Yuan's vehicle shot forward, quickly disappearing from everyone's sight.

Not long after, Mei Feng also appeared at the entrance.

Looking at her worried expression, it was clear that Mei Feng was heavy-hearted, her mood having soured to the extreme.

After all, Ye Yun was Mei Feng's bodyguard, and yet he had offended Chu Yuan tonight.

Although she had fired Ye Yun right there in front of Chu Yuan and the many wealthy heirs of the Magic Capital.

She had no idea whether this remedy would be enough to appease Chu Yuan's dissatisfaction with her, or even with the Mei Family.

Just as Mei Feng was wondering how she could apologize to Chu Yuan, beg for his forgiveness, and extinguish his anger, a dark figure suddenly darted out from the side, blocking the path of her luxury car.

"Who is this blind fool, daring to block President Mei's path? Do you have a death wish?"

Sister Xu Xue, who had just started the car and was preparing to leave, had been startled by the sudden appearance of the figure and forced to brake, unable to stop herself from cursing.

"Sister Xu, don't be angry. It's me."

The dark figure appeared right beside Sister Xu, looking at her with a grin.

"Ye Yun? Why is it you? How dare you show your face here!"

Seeing this detestable person, Sister Xu frowned, feeling an urge to just run him over.

"Sister Xu, I've come to see President Mei this time."

After greeting Sister Xu, Ye Yun turned his gaze to Mei Feng in the back seat. He nodded in apology, still wearing what he thought was a charming smile.

"President Mei, I'm truly sorry. I was far too impulsive tonight and caused you trouble. I've come specifically to apologize to you."

Mei Feng hadn't expected that this mangy dog, Ye Yun, would actually stick to her like a dog-skin plaster.

Faced with his apology, Mei Feng couldn't help but lash out, "I already told you, you are no longer my bodyguard! You have nothing to do with me or the Mei Family! Get lost while you still can, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"
