Luo Chen was surprised to find members of the Ye family here.

Moreover, Ye Xiaoli was also there.

Sun Bing's earlier phone call hadn't told him that the Ye family had also arrived.

Luo Chen didn't show much emotion. After glancing at her, he walked towards Fang Xue's location.

Ye Lin's face was gloomy; Luo Chen's appearance had made him feel extremely bad.

He couldn't hear a word Fang Tian said.

In his eyes, there was only Luo Chen, that annoying guy.

Seeing Luo Chen walk towards Fang Xue, Ye Lin immediately stopped him.

"You did come after all."

"Um?"

Luo Chen stopped and looked at Ye Lin.

Ye Lin gave a sinister laugh: "I just saw your lackey making a phone call there, and I guessed it was to you. I just didn't expect you to come after all."

The Sun family was just a second-rate family, and Ye Lin wouldn't normally pay attention to them. However, Sun Bing was Luo Chen's lackey, so Ye Lin naturally had to keep an eye on him. When he saw Sun Bing secretly making a phone call, Ye Lin had a guess in his mind, so he went over to eavesdrop. Unexpectedly, he was indeed calling Luo Chen. Thinking of what happened with the Han family last time, Ye Lin got angry and smashed Sun Bing's phone.

Ye Lin wasn't really sure if Luo Chen would come. After all, they had broken off cooperation with the Fang family, so it was impossible for him to be so shameless as to come. Fang Wu hadn't sent an invitation to the Luo family either.

If it were him, he certainly wouldn't be so shameless as to come here to attend the banquet, but Ye Lin couldn't quite figure out Luo Chen, yet Luo Chen still came.

What does he want to do this time?

Luo Chen calmly replied, "Why can't I come? You're just a security minister, when did you get the authority to interfere in my affairs?"

"Also, Sun Bing is one of my men. What have you done to him?"

I haven't seen Sun Bing since I came in. Without a doubt, it was Ye Lin who did it. Ye Lin's words were very interesting. He seemed to know that Sun Bing would come, which means that Ye Lin saw Sun Bing calling him.

Given Ye Lin's personality, even if Sun Bing is someone he dislikes, he will still be implicated.

As for what kind of treatment he would receive, Luo Chen was unsure.

But the problem shouldn't be too big.

This is Fang family territory. With so many people here, Ye Lin doesn't care about saving face, and Fang Wu won't allow anything unpleasant to happen.

It seems likely that Sun Bing will be kept under surveillance for the time being.

Otherwise, I would have tipped him off long ago.

"Don't worry, I'm not doing anything reckless. I'm just keeping your dog locked up so it won't bite people and cause you any trouble."

Ye Lin appeared concerned, but in reality, he already had a plan in mind. He also realized that Luo Chen was someone he couldn't figure out, so he had to be mentally prepared. In addition, he had just discovered two good things on Sun Bing. Now it seemed that he had given in, but in fact, it was just to make Luo Chen lower his guard and wait for a trap to be set for him to fall into.

"Uncle Fang, is this how you treat your guests? Or do you think a security chief has the power to lock up invited guests?" Luo Chen questioned Fang Wu.

Fang Wu was stunned. He didn't know Sun Bing well, but his father did. He didn't know that Ye Lin would dare to lock him up.

Even if Ye Lin has a powerful backer, this is the Fang family's territory. Ye Lin did this without informing him, which shows a lack of respect for him.

If Luo Chen hadn't asked, it would have been fine; he could have just turned a blind eye and let it go.

Ye Lin's actions could be ignored; an apology later would suffice.

However, since Luo Chen directly confronted him with the conflict, if he didn't say something, something serious might happen.

"Ye Lin, what exactly happened? Why did you lock him up?"

Fang Wu feigned displeasure, knowing he couldn't afford to offend either side. However, he still leaned towards Ye Lin. Now that the Luo family had severed their cooperation, he still had to give them face on the surface, since the Luo family was stronger than the Fang family. In private, he couldn't offend Ye Lin either, not to mention the power behind him. The Fang family could only rely on Ye Lin to overcome their current crisis.

Seeing Fang Wu wink at him secretly, Ye Lin understood and said coldly, "Sun Bing was making a loud phone call, so I went to stop him, but he cursed at me. In order not to disturb the other guests, I had no choice but to lock him up."

"Oh, I see." Fang Wu nodded, seemingly agreeing with Ye Lin's words.

Luo Chen watched from the side and wanted to laugh. Ye Lin's excuse was too lame, and Fang Wu was currently on his side. No matter how false Ye Lin's words were, Fang Wu would speak up for him.

Seeing Luo Chen's gaze, Fang Wu realized he might have been too obvious, so he blamed Ye Lin.

“Sun Bing is a guest I invited, so what you’re doing isn’t right. Release him immediately.”

"good."

Ye Lin glanced at Luo Chen and smiled disdainfully to himself. It's just a dog, it doesn't matter. He'll make Luo Chen look bad later anyway.

Ye Lin walked to the side and called Xu Fei, asking him to take Sun Bing away from there, lest Sun Bing be released later and ruin his plans.

Luo Chen ignored Sun Bing's matter and went to Fang Xue.

Fang Xue looked at him with a complicated expression, while Luo Chen smiled.

"Xue'er, aren't you happy to see me?"

Why did you come here?

Fang Xue couldn't understand why anyone who didn't like her would come here. She had already said that Luo Chen was acting, but Luo Chen's presence here made her words seem powerless.

"Why can't I come?" Luo Chen retorted.

“You shouldn’t have come. You have nothing to do with me, so what are you doing here? Besides, your Luo family has already cut off cooperation with us and even dug a pit for us to fall into. Now that I’m in this state, are you here to laugh at me?”

Fang Xue's face was somewhat pale. The goals she had set for herself were now impossible to achieve. She had wanted to make Fang's Group bigger and bigger, but all she got in return was distrust. She was the only one who had to bear the consequences of such a big problem.

Most importantly, nobody believes what she says.

Now she has to contact Ye Lin, but as her father, he doesn't consider her at all, and he doesn't believe what he says. Fang Xue will also think that Luo Chen came here just to make a fool of himself.

After all, she had never really paid him any attention, and he didn't actually like her. He was just a sycophant for the sake of the plot. Now that he could finally see her in such a sorry state, how could Luo Chen not be happy?

[Is this woman an idiot? I came all this way to save her, what's with that look on her face? I don't know anything about those things. If I really did it, would I be here? I'm so angry.]

Originally, Luo Chen was holding back from criticizing Fang Xue, but Fang Xue's appearance made him want to curse her out.
