Chapter 2232: Chapter 2232: Trouble for the Young Master
"Young Master, are we really not going to help?" In a hidden corner, Afeng looked at Zhu Shen with confusion.
"What, do you also think that I truly consider him a friend?" Zhu Shen said with a half-smile.
"I know you just want to confirm whether he stole the Heavenly Secret Mud from the Secret Realm. But if it really was him and he gets caught by Bao Shixing and the others, won’t the Heavenly Secret Mud go to Bao Shixing?" Afeng said worriedly.
Zhu Shen smiled slightly and said, "Someone who can steal the Heavenly Secret Mud without anyone noticing is unlikely to be caught by those two idiots like Bao Shixing. It’s good to have them step forward; I can use this opportunity to see what kind of tricks this Ye guy has."
Afeng nodded, but still questioned, "I still don’t quite understand why you don’t just capture him and question him to find out if he’s the one who stole it. Why not just do that instead of going through all this trouble?"
"This person is not simple, and unless absolutely necessary, it’s best not to make enemies with him! If he did steal the Heavenly Secret Mud, of course, I will kill him. But if it wasn’t him, I’d really consider befriending him." Zhu Shen said meaningfully.
Afeng looked at Zhu Shen with thoughtfulness, never having seen Zhu Shen so invested in anyone before.
At this moment, Ye Haochuan was sitting quietly in a box, sipping the fragrant tea on the table, as if completely unaware of the "danger" outside the door.
Soon, Le Yao was brought into the box. Bao Shixing and Gou Heiya’s men outside dared not offend the people of Guilang Workshop and obediently made way.
It was the auctioneer, Qiao’er, who brought Le Yao in. As soon as she saw Ye Haochuan, her expression froze, and she asked suspiciously, "This gentleman seems unfamiliar. Why are you in Young Master Zhu’s box?"
"I’m friends with Young Master Zhu, no need for suspicion, the bid just now was mine," Ye Haochuan said with a smile.
Seeing this, Qiao’er didn’t inquire further and charmingly smiled, "Since that’s the case, please deliver the red crystals, and this charming woman will naturally be yours, sir."
"I currently don’t have that many red crystals on me!" Ye Haochuan said, spreading his hands with a sigh.
Qiao’er’s expression instantly hardened, "Sir, don’t joke around. Playing games with Guilang Workshop is a decision you’ll regret for life."
Ye Haochuan laughed heartily, "I really don’t have the money; it’s on its way. Please ask Miss Qiao’er to wait a moment."
Qiao’er’s eyes shifted, then she asked, "How long until your money arrives, young master? If it’s too long, I’m afraid Qiao’er may be in trouble explaining this."
Ye Haochuan was about to answer when he heard a commotion outside and smiled, "Oh, they’ve arrived! But it seems the guys outside aren’t too willing to let them in."
Hearing this, Qiao’er gracefully stood up, walked to the door, and shortly thereafter, led a man in his thirties inside.
This man looked a bit pale, and his legs were trembling a little. As soon as he saw Ye Haochuan, he rushed over like seeing a savior and tremulously took out a ring, saying, "Sir, this is one billion red crystals, the chief shopkeeper asked me to..."
Before he could finish, Ye Haochuan suddenly laughed, "What, did you get scared?"
Upon hearing this, the man adjusted his expression a little and shook his head, "No, I was just worried about your safety, sir."
This man was Xue Tie, the city gate guard who reported to the Ye Family today. Since Ye Haochuan didn’t want people to know his connection with the Ye Family, he asked Xue Tie to deliver it.
Earlier, standing outside, watching those fierce people, he nearly wet himself in fright.
Even though he was a city gate guard, he had been in a peaceful place all this time and had never seen such a scene.
Ye Haochuan smiled and told him to go back first.
Xue Tie, relieved, left quickly in a few strides.
Bao Shixing’s men outside didn’t pay him any mind, but Zhu Shen, upon seeing him, signaled to Afeng to follow him.
Ye Haochuan counted the red crystals and handed them to Qiao’er.
Qiao’er couldn’t help but give Ye Haochuan another look; in the entire Myriad Realms Mansion, those who could easily produce one billion red crystals were as rare as phoenix feathers, yet she didn’t know Ye Haochuan, which was quite odd.
"Take care, Young Master Ye!" After completing the transaction, Qiao’er left with her people, leaving behind a remark.
"Why? Aren’t you going to see what your new owner looks like?" Ye Haochuan walked over to Le Yao and teased.
At this moment, Le Yao had already reached the peak of despair, as if resigned, like a walking corpse. Hearing Ye Haochuan’s words, she had no reaction.
Ye Haochuan sneered, reached out, and gave a slap to the plump roundness behind Le Yao, unable to resist commenting, "Not bad, firm and bouncy, great feel!"
Le Yao shuddered violently, bit down hard on her silver teeth, but refused to open her eyes, unwilling to see what lay before her, treating it all as a nightmare.
Seeing this, Ye Haochuan was laughing inside.
It had been a long time since he had teased a woman like this, especially one as uniquely glorious as Le Yao; the feeling was simply divine.
Then he became even more unscrupulous, letting his big hands roam freely over Le Yao’s proud figure.
Le Yao had obviously never been touched by a man like this, her body trembling uncontrollably, her face twitching repeatedly.
She wanted to struggle, to scream, but the chains on her body were powerful; she could not speak or move her arms, not even her legs, which could only remain upright with no extra strength.
At the moment, she could only warn herself in her heart, not to believe anything, it was all just illusions, and once she found a chance to end her own life, these illusions would vanish.
Little did she know, her "endurance" made Ye Haochuan enjoy himself immensely.
Once upon a time, this girl had a lofty air about her, saying things like "In the future, I’ll protect you." But now, she trembled under his grasp.
The only pity was that this girl was too enduring; Ye Haochuan had hoped to see her lose her temper, but it never happened.
Just at that moment, Bao Shixing and his men outside seemed unable to wait any longer and were about to break in.
Damn it, ruining my fun, I’ll deal with you later!
Ye Haochuan cursed to himself, helplessly threw Le Yao into the Minor World, and walked out of the door voluntarily.
Seeing Ye Haochuan come out, everyone outside the door was stunned.
Then a short, white-skinned, plump young man walked over arrogantly, pointing his finger at Ye Haochuan’s nose, asking, "So you’re the one who dared to defy me and snatch my woman?"
Beside him, a terribly ugly young man with a mouth full of black teeth impatiently snorted, "Bao Baidian, are you stupid? He’s the only one here; if it wasn’t him, then who else could it be?"
After saying this, he turned his fierce eyes on Ye Haochuan, "Kid, you’ve got some serious guts to come out on your own. But offending us leaves you with only one path, and that’s a life worse than death."
Having said this, he prepared to signal his men to start the attack.
"Wait a minute!" Ye Haochuan suddenly interrupted.
Gou Heiya sneered, "What’s the matter? Afraid now? I’m telling you, it’s too late!"
"I think you misunderstand; I just want to ask, won’t Guilang Workshop intervene if you fight here?" Ye Haochuan asked with a mischievous grin.
