Chapter 73: Chapter 73: Biao Zi Eager to Claim Credit _1
"Is this guy really the one being hunted by the Chen Family throughout Hai City?"
"He’s too bold, provoking the Chen Family’s people and still daring to stir up trouble, is he really not afraid of death?"
"Maybe he feels that his end is near, so he might as well be bold and let loose!"
The voices of discussion grew louder, but Ye Ming sat in his seat as if nothing were amiss, his face filled with indifference.
Concerned, Sun Miaomiao approached and tugged at Ye Ming, saying, "Ye Ming, you better leave quickly. If you don’t go now, the Chen Family’s people will soon catch up!"
The matter of the Chen Family searching for Ye Ming was already public knowledge, and even Sun Miaomiao had heard about it.
She thought it was a joke until she saw Biao Zi’s reaction, and then she panicked.
Ye Ming’s audacity had reached a level beyond Sun Miaomiao’s imagination. She had already got a taste of it when Ye Ming provoked Zhang Yang, and now, Ye Ming had given her another big surprise.
Biao Zi struggled to prop up his two arms, leaning on the table’s leg and said viciously, "Run? Haha, you underestimate the Chen Family’s capabilities."
"The Chen Family has people all over Hai City. It will take only a few minutes for them to arrive. Ye Ming, even if you sprouted wings, you wouldn’t be able to escape!"
"This time I’ve made a great contribution. When I stand before President Chen, I’ll have something to say. Later, if he could introduce me to Brother Zhuang, that’d be great!"
"My rise to glory is just around the corner!"
Although his legs had been crippled, thinking about his future, a joyful smile actually appeared on Biao Zi’s face, as if he were already envisioning his bright future!
"But..." Sun Miaomiao looked worried and seemed about to say something, but she swallowed her words halfway through.
Before long, a black van charged into the snack street, honking its horn continuously and speeding along.
In normal times, such behavior would undoubtedly attract a barrage of curses.
But now, the crowd unconsciously made way in the throng, creating a path that extended all the way to the entrance of Sun Miaomiao’s barbecue shop.
"Ye Ming, you’re done for!" With a vehement statement, Biao Zi went to the van, sparing no effort to seek commendation.
As soon as the car door opened, Biao Zi eagerly said, "President Chen, I’m Biao Zi. I’m the one who found Ye Ming!"
"I spared no effort to stop him. Look, both my legs are broken!"
His crippled legs became his credentials for soliciting merit, as he boasted loudly to the people inside the car.
"You deserve to die, too!" From inside the van, Chen Bin’s weak voice came through, crudely cursing at him.
Biao Zi was dumbfounded on the spot, his face filled with astonishment.
Immediately after, Biao Zi saw Chen Bin being supported out of the car, with a blackened face and a limp, powerless body.
"President Chen, what happened to you... How did you end up like this?"
Seeing Chen Bin’s condition, Biao Zi was even more bewildered. He thought he was in a bad state, but Chen Bin looked worse, as if he might die at any moment.
With his simple mind, Biao Zi pondered and then it dawned on him; he thought that Chen Bin’s current state must be Ye Ming’s doing. That’s why he had been tracking Ye Ming’s whereabouts, intent on putting him to death.
Biao Zi struggled with his body, thickened his face with a smile, and said to Chen Bin, "Don’t worry, President Chen, this time I won’t let Ye Ming get away with it. I’ll make him pay a painful price! All you need to do is sit here and watch closely."
Now was the perfect opportunity to demonstrate his loyalty, and Biao Zi wanted to seize this chance to impress Chen Bin, so much that he even forgot how he was just thoroughly defeated by Ye Ming.
Alas, Biao Zi no longer had the ability to resist and could only say to his fallen brothers, "Hurry up, President Chen is watching right here, it’s your time to show off!"
"A moment to use troops comes after years of preparation, bring Ye Ming to me right now, and make him kneel down and apologize to President Chen." freewēbnoveℓ.com
Biao Zi was indulging in his own wishful thinking, completely ignoring how ugly Chen Bin’s face had become.
Finally, unable to bear it any longer, Chen Bin propped up his weak body and approached the ridiculous clown, slapping him fiercely across the face.
Now, Biao Zi was utterly confused. He asked innocently, "What’s the matter with you, President Chen? Why are you hitting me?" freewebnovel.cσ๓
Chen Bin didn’t have the strength to explain, and after coughing violently a few times, he approached Ye Ming, trembling.
With a thud, Chen Bin knelt on the ground with his weak body.
"Mr. Ye... Mr. Ye, I realize my mistake, I lost the bet."
Chen Bin’s face lost all its usual arrogance, and he said in a humble tone, "I’ve truly realized my mistake this time, I beg you to spare my life, leave me as alive as a dog!"
As soon as these words came out, Biao Zi turned to stone on the spot, feeling as though his heart had stopped beating at that very moment.
What is going on? What the hell is happening? Biao Zi’s mind was filled with question marks, but there was no one to explain anything to him.
The usually bustling snack street fell silent at this moment, the onlookers exchanged stunned glances, turning into statues, watching the scene unfold without diverting their gaze.
The formidable Chen Family Patriarch, devoid of any self-image, kneeling on the ground, in front of a lesser-known junior, with sincere apology written all across his face, almost ready to kowtow.
If this scene were to be spread, it could unsettle the entire Hai City within five minutes.
Unfortunately, no one dared to say anything out of turn.
In the moments that followed, several black business cars arrived.
Dozens of bodyguards dressed in identical uniforms stepped out of the cars, securing the area immediately. Anyone who dared take a photograph was practically asking for death.
However, looking at Ye Ming himself, there was only a cold sneer on his face.
He sat in his chair, looking down at Chen Bin in front of him, filled with contempt.
This old guy was really useless, Ye Ming thought he could hold on for a couple of days, but not even a day and a half had passed, and Chen Bin was already like a pile of mud, ready to croak at any moment.
He said coldly, "Mister Chen, President Chen, you used to be so imposing, where did all your fierceness go?"
Chen Bin had lived for decades and no one had ever dared to question him like this, to mock him, let alone a junior.
Even though he was so angry that he felt his blood pressure reverse, Chen Bin still forcefully squeezed out a smile and said, "Not imposing at all, I was blind to have opposed you before. Aren’t I here personally to offer my apologies?"
Ye Ming smacked his lips and then said, "But, I’ve already crippled your son, are you really able to forgive me?"
