Free Web NovelChapter 104: Chapter 104: Unforgivable Him _1
"What?" Xia Ningning suddenly became anxious, "Ye Ming, don’t be ungrateful, I’m trying to help you."
"You have the nerve to say that after witnessing everything the Chen Family has done. Do you really need me to recount it all?" Ye Ming spoke indifferently, "Before doing these things, he never even thought about regretting."
A ruthless look flashed in Chen Bin’s eyes, wishing he could kill Ye Ming right there.
But due to the presence of the Qin Family and Xia Ningning, he couldn’t say anything, nor dare to complain despite feeling aggrieved.
"I was just showing you the rules of this circle. If you continue to be oblivious, don’t blame me for not helping you," Xia Ningning said irritably.
With the conversation at this point, Chen Bin hurriedly got up.
He thudded to his knees on the ground, in front of Ye Ming, his face full of pleading as he said, "Mr. Ye, I truly realize my mistake. This is the last time, and if there’s a next time, you absolutely shouldn’t let me off."
"I beg you to forgive me this once, and I will be at your service for the rest of my life. If you tell me to go east, I’ll never go west!"
The unexpected act from Chen Bin took both Xia Ningning and Old Master Qin by surprise.
The Chen Family Patriarch, kneeling to a young man, was simply incredible.
Moreover, Chen Bin was crying so pitifully, with snot and tears, a sight too distressing to look at.
Ye Ming’s heart was unmoved, not causing even the slightest ripple.
He said calmly, "Your tears are nothing but crocodile tears. If it wasn’t for Le Le pushing you into this situation, I’m afraid you’d still be plotting against me."
"It’s pointless. You might as well stand up, I can let you die on your feet."
Finally, Xia Ningning couldn’t hold back any longer and tried to persuade him, "Ye Ming, don’t be so stubborn. If you continue like this, you’ll regret it. No matter what, the Chen Family is still a noble household. You should know that even a starved camel is bigger than a horse."
"And when that time comes, even if you come begging to me, I won’t help you."
Ye Ming finally cracked a smile and said, "Rest assured, you’ll never see that day, because I never like to beg for help."
"Those rules you speak of, they’re useless to me. Plus, this man isn’t going anywhere."
"If he doesn’t die, I won’t sleep well. I should thank you for bringing him to me."
Hearing these words, Chen Bin slammed his hand on the table and stood up.
Realizing that Ye Ming wouldn’t let him off, he tore off his façade and, with a vicious tone, said, "Ye Ming, don’t be so unappreciative. Do you really think you can destroy the Chen Family?"
"I was merely giving you face. If we could reconcile superficially, so be it. But if you really insist on taking me down, I won’t just sit and wait for death!"
Ye Ming glared at him, and an overwhelming aura of killing intent suddenly exuded from his body, enveloping the private room and tightly surrounding Chen Bin.
A chill crept up Chen Bin’s back, making him shiver involuntarily.
Old Master Qin was equally shocked, quickly stepping back two paces to avoid getting involved.
Just then, the abrupt ring of a phone broke the eerie atmosphere in the room.
Ye Ming picked up the phone and saw that it was a call from Xu Lele.
For some reason, Ye Ming suddenly had an ominous premonition.
The call connected, and Xu Lele’s weak voice came through.
"Ye Ming, save me..."
Those simple four words made Ye Ming’s hair stand on end. He anxiously asked, "Le Le, what’s wrong? Where are you?"
However, Xu Lele only said those four words before the call was forcibly ended. frёeωebɳovel.com
When Ye Ming tried to call back, it already showed that the call could not be connected.
It was the first time Xia Ningning had seen Ye Ming’s expression so unsettled, and she had a premonition in her heart that something big must have happened. She promptly asked, "What happened?"
"Something happened to Le Le!" With that, Ye Ming didn’t bother with the other people in the private room and dashed out the door to find Xu Lele’s whereabouts.
Xia Ningning was startled to learn that Xu Lele was in trouble and hurriedly followed.
"You won’t be able to run very fast, let’s take the car and first go check your house!"
Ye Ming thought for a moment and still got into Xia Ningning’s car.
The two rushed all the way back to Xu Lele’s home, only to find the house empty with no sign of Xu Lele, just a maid cleaning up.
"Mother Liu, where did Le Le go?" Xia Ningning hurriedly pulled the maid over and asked urgently.
The maid furrowed her brow in thought for a long time before she said with difficulty, "I don’t know. All I know is that Miss Xu left the house after receiving a phone call. It seemed to be from someone from Mr. Ye’s hometown who brought something for him and wanted Miss Xu to help pick it up."
"It seemed she went to some restaurant. I didn’t hear clearly, I only know this much."
With just one sentence, Ye Ming knew someone had set a deliberate trap, and it was probably targeted at him.
"I don’t have any friends from my hometown. Le Le was lured out on purpose."
Ye Ming said angrily.
But at this moment, it was still unknown who the person was. Ye Ming’s baseless speculation would only lead him away from the right direction.
Just then, Ye Ming thought of the jade pendant he had previously given to Xu Lele.
The jade pendant, empowered with his magic, could protect Xu Lele from harm, and it could also resonate with him. However, after closing his eyes and feeling for it, Ye Ming found that he could not detect the jade pendant’s whereabouts at all.
There was only one possibility for this situation: the person wearing the jade pendant had either passed out and lost consciousness, or...
Ye Ming didn’t want to think about the situation taking a bad turn, but he still shared the matter with Xia Ningning.
"Impossible, Le Le will definitely be fine," Xia Ningning said with conviction, "If someone wanted to kidnap Le Le, it would surely be for money. They would take the opportunity to extort a large sum from the Xu Family. If they hurt Le Le, not only would they get nothing, but they would also be endlessly hunted by the Xu Family. The loss would outweigh the gain."
Even in such a critical moment, Xia Ningning still managed to remain calm, which made Ye Ming regard her in a new light. However, the current priority was still to find the whereabouts of Xu Lele.
Even if it was for money, there had to be someone to take the money.
"In that case, why don’t we check all the restaurants in Hai City? We’ll find Le Le’s whereabouts eventually if they really went to a restaurant," Ye Ming suggested.
Upon hearing this, Xia Ningning agreed. Her family had a huge information network in Hai City. After listening to Ye Ming’s words, she made a call,
"I want you to check every restaurant in Hai City right now. Every single one. For any young girl who has entered, I need clear information, with no mistakes!"
