They drank it at the same time.

Seeing Luo Chen's empty wine glass, Ye Lin couldn't help but laugh.

"What are you laughing at?" Luo Chen asked.

"I laugh at your ignorance."

"hehe."

Luo Chen calmly sat down: "Don't you think you're laughing too soon?"

"What do you mean?" Ye Lin asked, puzzled.

"You really think I didn't notice something was wrong with that drink?"

"So what if you know? You've already drunk it."

The wine in Luo Chen's glass contained the most ruthless items Ye Lin had found on Sun Bing: one was "Grandma Loves You" and the other was "Eunuch Raises the Morning Flag." Ye Lin put both of them in to embarrass Luo Chen and to give him a sense of revenge.

The double effect is powerful and takes effect very quickly; soon we'll see Luo Chen embarrassed.

Therefore, Ye Lin wasn't worried at all, since Luo Chen had already drunk it anyway.

That's why I say you're ignorant.

Luo Chen shook his head: "I knew something was wrong from the very beginning. Did you really think that just because you revealed your identity as the Dragon King, I would be afraid of you and drink with you? You're overthinking it. I just wanted to see what you were up to."

"So what? You even drank alcohol just to see what I was doing. Isn't it too late to say all this now?"

"It's not too late, it's not too late, the show is just beginning."

Luo Chen smiled and said, "I already know what you put in there. Don't you feel any heat in your body or shortness of breath yet?"

Just as Ye Lin was about to speak, he frowned in pain. He felt a burning sensation inside his body, and even his breathing became labored.

"Impossible, how could you...?"

"Can't believe it? Why is it you who caused the problem, and not me?"

Luo Chen stood up and walked over, whispering in Ye Lin's ear, "When I clinked glasses with you just now, I splashed those things into your glass. There's no way we can resolve our hatred, so how could I possibly believe your words? Dragon King? What does that matter? If I hadn't been in a good mood today, you would already be dead."

After saying that, Luo Chen patted Ye Lin on the shoulder, just like an old friend he hadn't seen in a long time.

Ye Lin wanted to say something more, but the intense heat grew stronger and stronger, causing him to break out in a cold sweat and his eyes to turn red.

"Luo...Chen...I will not let you go."

Before he could continue speaking, Ye Lin used his internal energy to forcefully suppress the urge and left the area. If he didn't leave quickly, he would embarrass himself on the spot.

Looking at Ye Lin's disheveled figure, Luo Chen shook his head regretfully.

Ye Lin is indeed the protagonist, but he's not bad either. He has a system, which is incredibly powerful. It just detected something inside and asked the system to help send it directly into Ye Lin's wine glass.

He had been thinking about whether there was a chance to kill Ye Lin, but someone had already made the first move. In addition, Ye Lin's current state, with his strength halved, meant that Ye Lin might not even make it through the night without him taking action.

But the protagonist wouldn't die so easily. Luo Chen wasn't actually confident either. If he couldn't kill Ye Lin in one blow, Ye Lin would only get stronger.

Ultimately, his transition period was too short.

Moreover, where did Ye Lin get these two things from?

Could it be that Sun Bing brought it over?

Sun Bing had given him advice before, although it was for the sake of the plot at that time. Now that he's not leaving, it's no longer needed. I didn't expect to see him again. This can be considered Ye Lin's bad luck.

No wonder.

Now that things are settled, there's no point in Luo Chen staying.

I thought it would take more effort, but it ended just like that.

Just as Luo Chen was about to leave, his clothes were tugged at.

Turning my head, I saw that it was Fang Xue.

Fang Xue witnessed the entire incident.

At first, she thought Luo Chen was confused and didn't understand Ye Lin's behavior, so she thought he would believe Ye Lin's words and drink with him. She tried to stop him but he wouldn't listen. She didn't expect that Luo Chen knew about it and even tricked Ye Lin.

Fang Xue had not expected this outcome.

It looks like Luo Chen is about to leave.

Fang Xue instinctively pulled him over.

What are you doing?

"I don't want to stay here."

"Then go back to sleep."

The original plan was to take Fang Xue away and disrupt the banquet, but Ye Lin's interference changed the course of events, though the ultimate goal remained largely the same.

So whether Fang Xue stays here or leaves, he no longer cares.

"Could you take me home?"

Fang Xue lowered her head shyly, her hand still clutching Luo Chen's clothes, refusing to let go.

Luo Chen frowned slightly.

Not really willing.

The matter is over, and there's no need for him to have any more contact with Fang Xue. He's no longer playing the role of a simp, so there's no need for him to act that way anymore.

However, seeing Fang Xue's helpless state, he realized he wasn't the kind of cold-blooded person.

With a sigh, Luo Chen said, "Okay, I'll take you back."

"Thanks....."

Seeing this, Fang Wu did not stop them. Ye Lin had already run away, so there was no point in Fang Xue staying. Although he harbored resentment towards Luo Chen, he did not show it.

Luo Chen was someone he couldn't afford to offend. He could see that Ye Lin had brought this upon himself, so he couldn't blame Luo Chen. It was just a pity that today's banquet was ruined.

Fang Xue tugged at Luo Chen's sleeve and followed behind, while Luo Chen walked in front. He ignored this strange phenomenon and just wanted to get her back so he could go home.

Ye Xiaoli sat on the sofa, quietly watching all of this.

She didn't know much about what had happened to them, but it was clear that Ye Lin had suffered a great loss at Luo Chen's hands.

Especially Ye Lin's performance.

Ye Xiaoli couldn't help but shake her head.

Such a person couldn't understand why Ye Tianming wanted to find her, and why she needed to come and confirm it in person.

She would have been curious at first.

Now, however, she's lost interest.

However, the mission can be considered accomplished.

What happens to Ye Lin is no longer her concern.

But this Luo Chen...

It seems quite interesting.

"Should we try to make contact?" Ye Xiaoli murmured to herself.

Her face quickly turned red.

I don't understand why I have such thoughts.

Ye Lan, who was standing nearby, noticed Ye Xiaoli's strange behavior and looked over curiously.

"Xiao Li, are you feeling unwell?"

"No." Ye Xiaoli didn't dare to look up, afraid that Ye Lan would see her blushing face.

"Oh, by the way, we have some other things to take care of here. Can you handle this?"

"What's up?"

"Although the Luo family is our competitor, we are still friends. Your godfather has known Luo Chen's father for many years and now has a project he wants to cooperate with the Luo family on. I have other things to do, so I have to entrust this matter to you."

"ah?!"

Ye Xiaoli looked up in surprise. How could she not know about this? Moreover, she had just been thinking about contacting Luo Chen, and Ye Lan arranged this for her. It couldn't be such a coincidence.

"Don't be nervous. Luo Chen is managing the Luo family now. Everyone here is young and easy to talk to. Besides, you've seen Luo Chen yourself, and I'm sure you have some impression of him. So I think it's best to leave this to you."

Ye Xiaoli fell silent for a moment, her heart filled with turbulent emotions.

In the end, she did not refuse.

"Okay, I will break off the ties with Luo Chen."

"Okay, that's good. I have something to take care of now, you can go back to the hotel later."

"Um."

After saying that, Ye Lan left first, accompanied by several bodyguards.

Ye Xiaoli didn't pay attention to any of that. Right now, all she was thinking about was what kind of impression she should make when she first met Luo Chen.
