Free Web NovelChapter 69: Chapter 69: You can go find my father _1
Since the Xu family had already relocated to Yanjing, Chen Bin expended considerable effort and finally inquired about the whereabouts of Xu Lele.
Dragging his nearly dying body, when he arrived at Xia Ningning’s villa, he scared the two girls.
"What kind of ghost is this! You better leave, or we’ll call the police!" Xia Ningning hurriedly said.
Chen Bin’s eyes welled up with tears of frustration. After so much turmoil, his body had deteriorated further, and now, he could only sit in a wheelchair and be pushed along by someone.
Who knew that even at this point, he would be treated in such a way by Xia Ningning. His temper nearly exploded, but he still stiffened his resolve and said, "Miss Xia, I’m not a ghost; I’m Chen Bin!"
The moment Xu Lele heard the name Chen Bin, she hurriedly peeked out, observing him carefully.
Her face was filled with shock as she asked anxiously, "Uncle Chen, how did you end up like this?" freewēbnoveℓ.com
Chen Bin couldn’t afford to explain too much, merely saying, "Miss Xu, no jokes please, just tell me where Ye Ming is. I need to find him urgently."
Although Xu Lele didn’t know what had happened, her instinct to protect Ye Ming was still there.
She spoke firmly, "Uncle Chen, if you are here to make trouble for Ye Ming, please leave. I won’t betray him."
"Even if you say what you will, I won’t tell you where Ye Ming is."
Chen Bin let out a bitter laugh and urgently said, "How could I be here to trouble him? Look at me now, how could I cause him any trouble?"
"I am here to seek his help."
Upon hearing this, the two girls were stunned.
They looked at each other, and then Xu Lele asked with much confusion, "Seek his help? Uncle Chen, do you think I would believe you?"
Seeing Xu Lele didn’t trust him, Chen Bin simply laid out all the previous events, including the bet he had made with Ye Ming.
He admitted sincerely, "I am here to fulfill the bet, asking him to save me!"
Xia Ningning was completely flabbergasted; the development was totally unexpected.
Throughout the day, she had envisaged many scenarios of Ye Ming being ruined and had even felt like she could finally breathe easy, not having to witness Xu Lele sinking deeper into the situation.
However, Chen Bin’s actions and the words he spoke were a heavy slap to her face, loud and clear.
Xia Ningning’s emotions were beyond words, only silence remained.
Xu Lele, on the other hand, was beaming with delight, not caring at all about Chen Bin’s reaction.
She asked, "Uncle Chen, earlier when you made a move against Ye Ming, you sought the approval of my father beforehand, didn’t you?"
Chen Bin gave an embarrassed smile and nodded helplessly, "Indeed, but Miss Xu, I was the one acting willfully before, I..."
Xu Lele did not let him finish, promptly saying, "It’s the same now; it’s no use talking to me, you should go to my father, he will give you advice!"
This tit-for-tat response delighted Xu Lele enormously.
Now, she was even more elated; she didn’t need to worry about Ye Ming anymore.
Furthermore, if Ye Ming managed to successfully handle the situation with the Chen family this time, she could even discuss it with her father to gain their approval and acknowledge Ye Ming.
Chen Bin was exasperated. He only regretted that he had unnecessarily burned his bridges in the past, and there was no way to mend them now.
Seeing Xu Lele so steadfast, Chen Bin had no desire to further humiliate himself.
He had his men push him away from Xia Ningning’s villa and instructed them, "No matter what, you must find Ye Ming. Even if it means digging three feet into the ground of Hai City, I must see him! And apologize!"
"You two wastes of space, if you can’t find him, go and die!"
By now, Chen Bin was already frustrated to the extreme and didn’t want to wait another moment.
Watching his humiliated departure, Xu Lele could barely contain her laughter.
She asked Xia Ningning, "Ningning, how come our Ye Ming is so impressive?"
"I’m so glad I listened to your advice back then and didn’t go out of my way to help him too much. Letting him face his own trials resulted in such an unexpected outcome, it’s just fantastic!"
Xia Ningning, puffing up in anger, couldn’t be bothered to speak.
She said, "It’s not certain yet, something unexpected must have occurred. He clearly set out to deal with Ye Ming, and now he’s come down with some strange illness. It’s just Ye Ming’s good luck, that’s all! What does that have to do with him?"
Xu Lele scoffed dismissively. "Say whatever you want, but Ye Ming is amazing no matter what."
...
The news of the Chen Family sparing no expense to find Ye Ming had already spread.
The Xu Family erupted with cheers, finally shaking off the gloom of the past few days.
"That idiot Ye Ming is finally going to pay the price for his arrogance!" said Wang Hai joyfully. "He dares to provoke anyone. I knew it was only a matter of time before he ran into trouble. Now he’s really angered the Chen Family, and they’re looking everywhere for him."
"No matter where he hides, he’ll be caught. He’s doomed this time!"
Xu Ling too had a look of sheer joy. "Finally, I get to watch him die. Young Master Wang, why don’t you hurry to send people to look for Ye Ming? If you can find him, the Chen Family might see you in a new light."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Wang Hai slapped his thigh eagerly. "How could I have not thought of this crucial matter, you’re so much more thorough!"
"I’ll definitely give you a good reward tonight!"
As he spoke, Wang Hai gave Xu Ling a squeeze, eliciting a soft moan from her. "Young Master Wang, you’re so naughty, didn’t you just come by yesterday?"
Watching Xu Ling’s exaggerated movements, Wang Hai felt a surge of wicked desire, saying, "I need to come every day. How else can I enjoy myself to the fullest?"
With that said, Wang Hai immediately mobilized all his resources, deploying many informants to track down Ye Ming while also keeping tabs on the Chen Family’s movements.
Unaware of the huge turmoil engulfing Hai City, Ye Ming wandered along a street food alley, his eyes constantly searching as if looking for a target.
After a long walk, he finally stopped and entered a barbecue restaurant.
No sooner had he stepped inside than he spotted a girl wearing an apron and a ponytail. It was Sun Miaomiao, someone he had met at a reunion with classmates.
Today, Sun Miaomiao was dressed differently, catching Ye Ming’s eye.
"Ye Ming, you’re here? Have a seat quickly!" Sun Miaomiao said, greeting him with a smile as she rushed over.
"Want to eat something? I’ll grill it for you!" Sun Miaomiao offered sweetly.
