Free Web NovelChapter 27: Chapter 27: I’m Here for Everything [4000-Word Big Chapter!]
"Hey, are you guys blind? I’ve been beaten to a pulp, and you’re asking if *he’s* okay?" Li Xin felt like he was about to go mad with rage.
He had come today planning to make Ning Ruoxi yield, only to be berated by her, beaten by Ye Ling, and now... completely ignored?!
However, his roars might as well have been nothing; no, *he* was nothing. No one paid him any mind at all.
"This man was trying to harm my girlfriend."
Ye Ling pointed indifferently at Li Xin, who was sprawled on the ground like a dead dog, and said to the security captain. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
"What!?"
Hearing this, the security captain’s eyes widened. He waved a hand and barked, "What are you all standing around for? Drag this punk out of here! Who let him in?! Is he even a resident of our Tomson Riviera?"
The guards immediately swarmed forward, their menacing approach making Li Xin tremble from head to toe.
"Don’t touch me! Don’t touch me! He’s not a resident of Tomson Riviera either! You should throw him out too!"
Li Xin shrieked in a panic, pointing at Ye Ling.
"Wait."
The security captain raised his hand, and the guards stopped in their tracks.
Seeing this, Li Xin let out a long sigh of relief. ’It seems my words had an effect...’
However...
The security captain’s next words plunged him into an icy abyss.
"Young Master Ye owns all of Tomson Riviera Building S. You’re telling me he’s not an owner here? Then who is?!"
At that moment...
Li Xin was dumbfounded. "Wha-what!?"
He couldn’t believe his ears.
’What in the world did I just hear? This guy said Ye Ling...’
Li Xin’s eyes filled with a crazed light. "How could this poor bastard possibly own an entire building? It’s impossible!"
In truth, his greatest source of superiority had always been that his father was more powerful than Ye Ling’s, that his family was wealthier!
But now someone was telling him that Ye Ling owned property he could never afford—and not just a unit, but an entire building!?
"Get this lunatic out of here. Beat him up and hand him over to the police."
The security captain was not a man to show mercy. With a wave of his hand, the guards swarmed him.
"Don’t touch me! My dad is a director at Shengding Group! You can’t do this to me!"
Li Xin screamed as the guards lifted him.
"Shut your trap!"
A guard drove a fist into his stomach, prompting another wretched howl.
’What a joke. Who gives a damn if his dad is a director of some group? This is Tomson Riviera, not some rundown complex in a third-rate city.’
’Trespassing without resident status and even harassing an actual resident?’
’No matter who you are, you’d better lie down and take it!’
"Young Master Ye, is this handling of the situation to your satisfaction?"
The security captain approached Ye Ling and asked respectfully.
"You talk too much."
Ye Ling said coolly, clearly referring to the captain revealing that he owned all of Building S.
"My apologies, Young Master Ye."
Hearing this, the security captain broke out in a cold sweat.
’First I let an idiot like Li Xin in and offended this powerful figure, and now I’ve gone and run my big mouth...’
’I’m done for, aren’t I...’
"All right, I’ll let it slide this time. Don’t let there be a next time."
Ye Ling waved his hand dismissively, not bothering to pursue the matter. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
’But now Ning Ruoxi knows...’ Ye Ling thought. He glanced at Ning Ruoxi and saw her give him a gentle smile, causing him to sigh in relief.
’Good, she isn’t mad that I kept this from her.’
"Then I’ll be on my way."
Seeing this, the security captain knew he would be a third wheel if he stayed any longer. He took his leave tactfully.
"Wait."
Ye Ling stopped him. "What’s your name?"
"I’m Li Dalong!"
Li Dalong replied, his voice filled with excitement.
’Looks like this big shot isn’t angry after all!’
’That’s great!’
"Mm, good. I’ll remember that. But I need you to do something for me. That idiot from before—don’t let him in here again, understand?"
Ye Ling said.
’After all, the man did come to help, so there’s no need to make things difficult for him.’
"Of course! You can count on it!"
Li Dalong said at once, then turned to go ’take care of business.’
Ye Ling stretched, walked over to Ning Ruoxi, and said apologetically, "I’m sorry. I took matters into my own hands and beat up Li Xin. It might cause some trouble for you."
"You don’t have to apologize. Besides, you were doing it to help me."
Ning Ruoxi just gave him a gentle smile and shook her head.
But Ye Ling’s brow furrowed. He wasn’t in a good mood.
’Even though Ning Ruoxi said it’s fine, that guy Li Xin came here so aggressively. Now that I’ve beaten him up, I’m afraid things won’t be so simple...’
"Come on, it’s fine. It’s just Shengding. Have you forgotten what my dad does? Shengding is only on the same level as the Yu Group. They can’t threaten me."
Ning Ruoxi looped her arm through Ye Ling’s and said comfortingly.
"Is that right? All right, then."
Ye Ling nodded, though he was only half-convinced.
’Still, he felt things weren’t as simple as she made them out to be. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have gotten so angry with Li Xin earlier.’
「Back home.」
He quietly called Luo Yue over.
"Tell me everything you know," Ye Ling said.
’Since Ning Ruoxi wouldn’t talk, Luo Yue must know something.’
"Well..."
Luo Yue looked hesitant.
"You can borrow the Pagani for a day."
