CHAPTER 769: CHAPTER 769: DISCIPLINE YOUR DOG WELL

Ye Xuan furrowed his brows and said indifferently, "Are you talking about the Ye Family from Jianghai that Ye Shaoyang belongs to?"

"Exactly! That’s the Ye Family," Xie Wending’s eyes shone with excitement.

From Ye Xuan’s tone, it seemed he knew of this family. Could he really be a member of that Ye Family? If so, Xie Wending thought he should get on good terms with him!

"Sorry, I’m not from that Ye Family, and I have nothing to do with them. However, in my eyes, Ye Shaoyang’s family really isn’t much. As for my true identity, you’re better off not asking. Ants like you that can only crawl on the ground aren’t worthy of knowing!"

Ye Xuan’s words were spoken lightly, but by the end, his face was full of arrogance, not taking Xie Wending seriously at all and looking down on him.

In fact, the Ye Family from Jianghai Province that Xie Wending was referring to was merely a branch of the Shangjing Ye Family, considered an outer power of theirs and hardly worth Ye Xuan’s notice!

Not to mention a branch, even the current Ye Family in Shangjing did not catch Ye Xuan’s eye!

Moreover, as a direct successor of the Ye Family, when Ye Shaoyang from the Jianghai Ye Family saw him, he would have to lower his head completely, not even entitled to speak.

Of course, now that Ye Xuan had been expelled from the Ye Family, he didn’t care about the identity of the Ye Family whatsoever. His arrogance and confidence, all stemmed from his own strength, and had nothing to do with the Ye Family!

Xie Wending’s face turned sour after being looked down upon by Ye Xuan, his eyes narrowed fiercely and a wave of anger surged in his heart.

After all, he was somebody with status. The way Ye Xuan disregarded him, calling him an ant, was a slap in the face and left him feeling extremely blocked up!

However, being able to manage a large nightclub and dealing underground, Xie Wending naturally wouldn’t show his rage on his face over something like this.

So he didn’t react violently, nor did he show any dissatisfaction, his face was unnaturally calm!

Xie Wending could tell that Ye Xuan must have some capital that made him so arrogant and defiant. If there were to be a confrontation, he might not come out on top; and he would not lightly involve himself with any uncertain factor.

It was precisely because of this cautious character that he had remained uncaught by the police for so many years without any dirty secrets exposed.

However, just because he could endure, didn’t mean his men could!

The black-clothed bodyguard who had previously offered Ye Xuan the cigar suddenly barked with a dark face, "Brat, don’t think you’re above everyone else just because you have some damn money! Speak with some respect when you’re talking to my boss!"

Ye Xuan’s eyebrow twitched, and his gaze shifted to the black-clothed bodyguard. He then let out a playful smile and said:

"Are you talking to me? Brother, if you’ve got the guts, come closer and I have something to tell you." After speaking, he even crooked his finger towards him!

This blatantly provocative gesture infuriated the black-clothed bodyguard.

He glanced at Xie Wending, and seeing that his boss hadn’t spoken up to stop him, he immediately sneered, clenched his fists, and strode toward Ye Xuan with an imposing gait.

When the bodyguard got within three meters of Ye Xuan, who was originally sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed and not moving an inch, suddenly sprang up from the sofa.

Like a breeze sweeping past, he ghosted in front of the black-clothed bodyguard, and the next second, there was a whistling sound as a slap came hurtling towards the man’s face!

Smack!

The crisp sound, like thunder piercing the ear, erupted suddenly within the private room.

The black-clothed bodyguard was about to teach Ye Xuan a lesson, didn’t even process what was happening when his face received a solid, fierce slap.

"Ah..."

He immediately cupped his face and let out a miserable cry. Under the force of the tremendous side sweep, his body tumbled down towards the floor!

"If you’re going to be a dog, you better have the awareness of one! Don’t bark mindlessly like a mad dog. Next time, it won’t just be a simple slap."

Ye Xuan had somehow already made it back to his spot, casting an indifferent glance at the black-clothed bodyguard lying on the floor as he coldly spoke.

"You dare to hit me? You’re asking for death!"

The dazed black-clothed man finally came to his senses, his face twisted with anger and shame from the humiliation as he let out an enraged shout.

"You want to die, don’t you?"

Just as he got up, ready to pounce on Ye Xuan, a click was heard, followed by a gun appearing in front of him—the dark barrel pressed directly against his forehead!

"Stay put, or I’ll blow your brains out!"

Lang Feng’s figure was now standing in front of the black-clothed man, coldly barking the command without a hint of emotion.

As a loyal bodyguard, he didn’t care where they were; if someone dared threaten Ye Xuan, that person had to die!

Gulp!

The black-clothed man trembled all over, swallowing hard before his eyes filled with terror, not daring to make another move.

His pleading gaze turned to Xie Wending, who had been silent all this time!

"Young Master Ye, please, let’s talk this out! Don’t shoot, for heaven’s sake."

Seeing the scene unfold before him, Xie Wending felt compelled to speak up, then sharply scolded the black-clothed man: "You damn fool, who let you throw punches on your own? Apologize to Young Master Ye right away!"

Scolded by Xie Wending, the black-clothed man felt somewhat wronged.

If you don’t say anything, wasn’t that a silent order for me to take action? Damn it, now there’s trouble, and I’m the one being thrown under the bus!

Even though that was what he thought, he dared not say it out loud! Ignoring the pain on his face, he bowed deeply to Ye Xuan, sincerely apologizing: "Young Master Ye, I’m sorry! It was reckless of me. Please be magnanimous and spare me, it won’t happen again."

"Mr. Xie, you really should keep your dog on a tighter leash; otherwise, one day if the dog bites its owner, you might end up with rabies."

Ye Xuan smiled faintly as he gave Xie Wending a meaningful look.

"Uh... Young Master Ye is right! I’ll definitely train him better and ensure he doesn’t bite anyone again."

Xie Wending’s smile twitched, clearly understanding Ye Xuan’s sarcasm.

However, at that moment, he could only go along with what Ye Xuan was saying and furiously shouted at the black-clothed man: "You blind beast, get the hell out of here! Stop making a fool of yourself in this place!"

"Yes, boss!"

The black-clothed man replied in a low voice, leaving the room in disgrace.

Xie Wending straightened his clothes and settled back onto the sofa, smiling at Ye Xuan: "Young Master Ye, since you’ve mentioned Shaoyang’s name, you must also recognize that significant figure, right?"

"Recognize him? Heh, he’s not worthy of my recognition!"

Ye Xuan replied with a sneer, brimming with disdain.

Xie Wending’s expression stiffened, unsure of Ye Xuan’s true identity, but he flattered him nonetheless: "Uh... Not even Shaoyang is considered worthwhile by you; it really surprises me, considering who Young Master Ye must be."

"Alright, enough with the nonsense! Mr. Xie, let’s cut to the chase. Are you selling or not? If you’re selling, I pay and you deliver—let’s keep things simple! If not, I’ll find another seller; no need to waste time here."

Ye Xuan spoke directly, shifting the conversation back to the main issue with a nonchalant curl of his lips.

"Selling, of course, I’d sell." This time, Xie Wending didn’t even think twice, agreeing promptly.
