"Yes, thank you, Mr. Ye. Hey you, carry him away and take him to the hospital," Chen Hu quickly instructed.
Then he bowed and stood to the side: "Mr. Ye, what is it? I'll be of service to you."
"This is my friend, Liu Ying. Night Red Bar belongs to her," Ye Xingchen said. "Taking a 40% cut of the profit, how can anyone make money?"
"40% gross profit? Who asked you to take such a cut? Didn't I previously request that you only take two percent of the profit?" Chen Hu's face darkened.
"This, this has nothing to do with us, Tiger! It was Brother Fugui who told us to do this!" the two cried out in pain.
"Alright, tell Fugui he doesn't need to come." Chen Hu's face changed: "What are the consequences of violating the rules? Tie him up, hand him over to Manager Li for disposal, and expel him from the company forever."
Immediately, someone hurriedly left with Chen Hu's orders, leaving Wolf Brother and his companion trembling with fear.
Steward Li is the Tang family's steward, responsible for dealing with those who break the rules. If Brother Fugui goes there, he'll probably lose both his legs and be finished.
"Mr. Ye, I'm so sorry. My men were ignorant and caused trouble for your friend. I'll deal with him immediately, and I guarantee that no one will cause trouble here again," Tiger said, bowing and scraping.
"Alright, get your people out of here. Also, pay for the damages to the bar. I need the bar back to normal operation within three days," Ye Xingchen said.
"Yes, yes, I'll have someone take care of it right away." Chen Hu nodded hurriedly.
With the matter resolved, Liu Ying stared intently at Ye Xingchen's face.
"Why are you looking at me like that? It's kind of embarrassing," Ye Xingchen said with an awkward smile.
"You are truly my soulmate. You always rush to my rescue when I'm in the most difficult times." Liu Ying slowly breathed a sigh of relief, her gaze fixed on you.
"Don't say that, it's just fate. If I saw you being bullied and didn't lend a hand, would I even be human?" Ye Xingchen said with a smile, "From now on, you won't be alone in Yanjing."
"The bar door is open anytime, no one will dare to bully you. If you have any problems, just contact me directly."
"Who exactly are you? These people all seem quite afraid of you," Liu Ying asked curiously.
"You'll find out later," Ye Xingchen said with a mysterious smile.
"Fine, I won't tell you then." Liu Ying rolled her eyes. "Do you have time? I'll treat you to a late-night snack."
"Some other day, someone's waiting for me outside," Ye Xingchen said with a smile.
There were indeed people waiting outside. Fatty Chen paced back and forth in the parking lot, his fat jiggling, with cigarette butts littering the ground.
Several underlings stood around him, trembling with fear. They had never seen their boss like this before.
After all, the Godfather of West City is one of the four major underground forces in Yanjing, and he is backed by the Tang family. As long as he doesn't break the rules by dealing in drugs and guns, he is basically untouchable in Yanjing.
But now he was anxiously smoking, which made them start to doubt the identity of the young man inside. Could it be... some princeling?
Finally, Ye Xingchen came out from inside. Chen Hu quickly straightened his clothes and walked a few steps to greet him.
"Mr. Ye." Chen Hu bowed respectfully to Ye Xingchen.
"What are you doing here?" Ye Xingchen glanced at Chen Hu.
"I waited here specifically for Mr. Ye," Chen Hu said. "I apologize for what happened earlier, Mr. Ye."
"Don't worry, I wouldn't take this little thing to heart. Do you need something from me?" Ye Xingchen asked.
"Mr. Ye is incredibly insightful. I... I do have a favor to ask of you." Chen Hu's face showed a hint of embarrassment.
"Just say what you need, and I'll help you as much as I can," Ye Xingchen said calmly.
"Thank you, Mr. Ye. I have a son. When he was three years old, I took my family on a trip, but we were hunted down by hostile forces."
Chen Hu's tone was heavy: "Later, I fought my way out of the encirclement with my son, but my wife also died under a hail of knives. From then on..."
Chen Hu's voice was choked with emotion: "My son was frightened and developed autism. He is now 8 years old and doesn't interact with anyone. I have consulted many doctors, but none of them can cure him."
"I've heard that Mr. Ye's medical skills are unparalleled in the world. Please, Mr. Ye, help me." Chen Hu knelt down with a thud and burst into tears.
"Have you done anything wrong?" Ye Xingchen stared at Chen Hu with a sidelong glance.
“Mr. Ye, although I’m a gangster, I consider myself a man of honor.” Chen Hu swore to the heavens, “Everything I’ve done has been within the rules, and I’ve never dared to cross the line.”
"I did not traffic drugs, I did not force women into prostitution, and there is nothing I can be ashamed of."
"Really?" Ye Xingchen glanced at Chen Hu: "What I saw was not like that."
"Mr. Ye... what did you see?" Chen Hu's body trembled.
“What I see is a murderous aura rising from your body, your hands stained with blood. I also see black mist swirling around you, and a family of four clinging to you, demanding your life.”
Ye Xingchen said coldly, "Those twins are only six months old, and their parents are extremely young. The man has a scar on his forehead. You know this person, right?"
"Ah..." Chen Hu turned pale with fright. What Ye Xingchen described was exactly what he feared most.
"It's not my fault, it's really not my fault. He led the attack on me first. He was my best brother. He killed my wife."
“My son also has autism. If I don’t take action, he will kill me. His two twin sons and wife died in an accident.”
Chen Hu looked terrified; in his eyes, it was as if he truly saw his brother demanding his life.
He kept dodging on the ground and shrank into a corner: "The sins of the wife and children should not be visited upon them. Although I, Chen Hu, am not a good person, I understand these principles. His son's death was truly an accident."
“Those who act righteously begin by associating with each other, then develop trust over time, and finally become close friends.” Ye Xingchen looked up and said coldly to a wisp of black mist in mid-air, “You were unrighteous first, and he was unjust later; this is the way of the martial world.”
"So, aren't you leaving?"
Ye Xingchen flicked his sleeve towards the void, and the invisible black mist in mid-air suddenly dissipated.
Chen Hu also recovered from his shock. He looked around blankly, somewhat at a loss.
"Get up, your good brother. After you killed him, he was filled with resentment and turned into vengeful spirits along with his wife and children. He has been by your side ever since."
Ye Xingchen said, "It's fortunate that you are a villain with a lot of malevolent energy, so they were able to avoid hurting you. But their resentment has not subsided, and they have been haunting you. And since they couldn't do anything to you, they turned their troubles on your son instead."
"They...have been following me?" Chen Hu asked, his face filled with shock.
“That’s right. Your son’s autism isn’t actually an illness, but rather a result of being haunted by their resentment,” Ye Xingchen said. “Now that they’ve dispersed, once you dispel that resentment from your son, he will return to normal.”
