CHAPTER 65: CHAPTER 65 A JOKE

"Hey! Ye Fei, what are you doing? Don’t be stupid!"

Seeing Ye Fei actually get up and walk toward the high platform after her remark, Wu Xia was instantly dumbfounded.

As for Shi Tian, Bi Jie, Zheng Tan, and the others, they immediately began sweating from anxiety.

Of course, their concern wasn’t for Ye Fei’s safety—they were worried about themselves!

After all, they had interacted with Ye Fei before this.

Now seated here were influential figures from thirteen cities, along with countless other big names!

Their fathers, among these people, were mere Little Shrimp-level figures. If Ye Fei dragged them into trouble, they would be utterly wronged!

So, Bi Jie was the first to lower his voice and shout, "Ye Fei, are you f*cking crazy? If you’re nuts, don’t drag us down with you!"

"Damn! Shi Tian, is Ye Fei doing this because you said you’d fix him up and now wants to drag us down with him?" Zheng Tan whimpered with frustration.

Shi Tian, hearing Zheng Tan’s words, cursed even louder, "Ye Fei, damn it! Don’t act impulsively! I’ll stop bothering you, okay? If you want to die, fine, but I want to live a few more years!"

Seeing the situation escalate, Chen Qian anxiously shouted, "Brother Ye, don’t go up there! It’ll cause trouble!"

"Cause trouble?"

Ye Fei finally stopped walking after hearing Chen Qian’s words.

But just when everyone thought he’d given up and sighed with relief, Ye Fei suddenly chuckled and said, "Here, no one would dare to think that I’m causing trouble!"

What a display!

Shi Tian and the others cursed Ye Fei’s ancestors to the eighteenth generation in their hearts upon hearing his words.

Who the hell do you think you are, Ye Fei?

A young man who charmed Guo Can through deceit and manipulation.

A watchdog the Guo Family uses to guard the Purple Mist Mountain Villa.

A stray dog who fled from Yuntai in panic after Chen Xing came looking for you!

A poor dirtbag with no value, someone whose corpse wouldn’t even be picked up if left on the roadside!

What’s your status to say such things?

So, Shi Tian gritted his teeth and looked at Bi Jie and Zheng Tan, saying, "We can’t let this guy act recklessly, or we’ll get implicated! We need to stop him!"

"Stop him? How?" Zheng Tan was so anxious he was almost in tears.

"Knock him out and drag him out! Throw him into the Yangtze River to feed the fish!" Shi Tian said, his face twisting into a feral grin.

Bi Jie immediately nodded, agreeing with Shi Tian’s suggestion.

Zheng Tan saw their stance and could only follow suit.

Seeing no objections from the other two, Shi Tian grabbed the chair next to him and charged straight toward Ye Fei with a loud yell. Bi Jie and Zheng Tan followed closely behind him.

The three of them dashed toward Ye Fei, chairs in hand.

"Watch out!"

Chen Qian noticed their actions and tried to step forward to intervene.

However, Wu Xia and Han Fenfen held her back tightly.

"Xiao Qian, this kind of person isn’t worth saving—he brought this on himself!" Han Fenfen quickly said.

Wu Xia sighed and nodded in agreement.

In her view, getting knocked out by Shi Tian and the others might actually be the best outcome for Ye Fei at this moment.

After all, the big shots seated here were no gentle souls. If Ye Fei actually walked up to that high platform...

The outcome Ye Fei would face would undoubtedly be their wrath.

And their wrath often translated to just one word: death!

But those failing to recognize the true face of the situation weren’t confined to Wu Xia, Shi Tian, and the others.

From the moment Guo Wenyuan spoke and Ye Fei stood up, many of the local forces from Yuntai had focused their attention on him.

To them, however, this young man was clearly courting death!

Ye Fei was far too young, and his attire didn’t resemble that of a privileged heir. And even if he were a privileged heir—so what?

Guo Wenyuan had summoned none other than the towering leader of Su Province, the overlord among thirteen cities—Mr. Ye. What exactly was the meaning of Ye Fei’s sudden movement?

Was he trying to speak, to act, or did he somehow think he was being summoned?

"Which family does this young man belong to? So ill-mannered?"

"Who knows which family it is? But no matter the family, it’s bound to be in trouble now!"

"Haha, truly brainless—probably from the Shi Family or Bi Family. Can’t you see Shi Tian and Bi Jie, their faces pale, preparing to knock out this idiotic kid?"

As murmurs of discussion grew louder, the local forces of Yuntai all gazed at Ye Fei with mocking smiles, wondering what the foolish young man planned to do.

Hearing the crowd’s taunts made Shi Tian and the others angrier, and they aimed their chairs directly at Ye Fei’s head.

"What are you doing to Mr. Ye?"

Just as Shi Tian and the others were minutes away from striking Ye Fei, Guo Wenyuan suddenly shouted from the platform. The three froze immediately.

"Mr. Ye? Mr. Ye is here?" Shi Tian asked, utterly bewildered.

"Here? Mr. Ye is right in front of you—what are you asking?" Chen Xing and Jia Feng shouted from the platform.

In front of them?

Shi Tian and his companions turned to look at Ye Fei, who maintained a calm expression, and instantly froze as if turned to stone.

At that moment, the one-eyed tyrant of Southern Su Anshan stood up first, bowing and saying respectfully, "Greetings, Mr. Ye!"

"Greetings, Mr. Ye!"

"Mr. Ye, long time no see!"

"Mr. Ye..."

With one-eyed taking the lead, the other prominent figures all quickly followed suit, standing and bowing in reverence.

Under the awe-filled gaze of the crowd, Ye Fei maintained his prior faint smile, strolling leisurely onto the high platform.

And the three top leaders representing Su Province—Guo Wenyuan, Chen Xing, and Jia Feng—immediately bent at the waist and said, "Mr. Ye!"

"B-Brother Ye is Mr. Ye?"

Seeing the scene unfold, Chen Qian covered her mouth in shock, her face filled with disbelief.

Han Fenfen, who had mocked Ye Fei repeatedly in the past, collapsed to the ground, trembling and at a complete loss for words.

As for Wu Xia, she stood frozen.

In her mind, words Ye Fei had previously spoken outside the revolving restaurant door rang loud and clear:

"I am the Mr. Ye you’ve all been talking about!"

"This is my company. Why wouldn’t I come in?"

"Li Xu fears me because he knows my identity!"

"Chen Xing respects me as a Ghost God—why should I avoid his daughter?"

"The Black Tiger Hall’s Bai Que sought me out because I crippled his son; Bai Que himself was ultimately slain by me in the North Suburb."

"I am the overlord of Su Province—when facing me, the big shots of thirteen cities bow down..."

Looking at Ye Fei now, standing proudly on high with every prominent figure bowing in humility, Wu Xia thought back to those seemingly absurd and laughable words he’d once uttered.

Now, Wu Xia couldn’t utter a single syllable.

"Everything he said was true? He really is Mr. Ye?"

"How is this possible?"

Wu Xia suddenly felt that the arrogant, superior persona she had once presented in front of Ye Fei was nothing but a joke.
