“…”
The silence lasted for several seconds.
Xiao Yunting on the stage gradually frowned, his cold eyes shooting towards the security captain below, "Zhou Peng."
Zhou Peng was called, and after hesitating for half a second, he took a step forward and responded in a deep voice, "Boss."
After confirming that he was not deaf, Xiao Yunting's expression became even colder, "Can't you hear what I'm saying?"
"I heard it, but..." Zhou Peng subconsciously raised his head and chest to respond, but got stuck halfway. His gaze drifted to Ye Lan beside him. His eyes were full of complexity, and he seemed to have no idea where to start.
"Don't embarrass him," Ye Lan said, speaking to his rescue. Dressed in loose-fitting clothes, she looked relaxed and at ease, yet exuded a certain air of Daoist grace. Even standing there, her aura was no less impressive than Xiao Yunting's. With her hands behind her back, she raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "He doesn't dare touch me because he's my subordinate."
What?
Xiao Yunting frowned even deeper. For the first time in his life, he couldn't understand what others were saying.
Ye Lan didn't want to chat with him on the stage, so he gave another order to the side, "Captain Zhou, please invite your General Xiao back to the old house."
"Yes, Miss Ye." Zhou Peng led the others onto the stage without a word and greeted Xiao Yunting, "Sorry for the offense, Boss."
He calls me Boss, but he is ruthless in his actions.
A row of security team members took out the latest developed electric batons to block internal energy and were about to step forward.
Xiao Yunting's face had turned completely black, and murderous aura filled his entire body. Before the group of people approached, his aura suddenly surged. His powerful internal energy, accompanied by an electric current, burned out the electric batons in the security team's hands in the blink of an eye.
"Hmm!" Zhou Peng groaned, his arms numb from the electricity.
He was the strongest in the team, and the others were more seriously injured.
In fact, he knew he had no chance of winning as early as when he approached. After all, the gap in their cultivation levels was there. But he had to follow his master's orders. Now that he had lost his combat effectiveness, he felt relieved.
"Boss, we didn't betray you. It's just that Miss Ye is special. Please don't be impulsive."
At this point, Zhou Peng did not forget to advise his boss not to make a decision that he would regret.
Suddenly, there was a roar of anger from the audience.
"Where did you get such audacious bodyguards? Have you forgotten who pays you? Now you dare to bully your boss! I think you all want to quit!"
Zhou Peng looked in the direction of the voice and saw a short and fat figure running to Qu Yueqing with fat trembling on his body. He couldn't help but frown, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.
This is Qu Yueqing's uncle. Ever since he thought that his niece could marry into the Xiao family, he has been acting like a villain and has caused countless troubles outside. In the end, they had to step in to settle them.
"Qingqing, you don't have to be afraid. These lowly people are nothing to be afraid of. They are lucky enough to work for Xiao's in their previous life. Since they don't know how to be grateful, let President Xiao fire them all." He patted Qu Yueqing's shoulder and acted intimidatingly.
"Uncle, now is not the time to talk about this." Although Qu Yueqing felt that her uncle was a little out of line, she finally found her backbone. Her tense expression relaxed a little, revealing a dependent look.
Seeing this, Ye Lan glanced at the frustrated faces of Zhou Peng and the others, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, "Is this how you treat your subordinates?"
This question was asked to Xiao Yunting.
Xiao Yunting's tightly furrowed brows never relaxed as he stared at Qu Yueqing's uncle with a sharp gaze. His powerful and cold aura instantly frightened the other party so much that he almost peed his pants. He took two steps back with weak legs and didn't dare to fart.
But because Qu Yueqing was present, he did not lose his temper.
"This is Xiao's business."
The implication is that it has nothing to do with Ye Lan.
"Okay." Ye Lan was not annoyed. He even lowered his eyes and smiled slightly. He continued in a deep voice, "So, do you want to go by yourself, or do you want me to take you away?"
Obviously, this way of 'leading' will not be pleasant.
Xiao Yunting narrowed his deep eyes, a cold light flashing in his eyes, "You can try."
He wanted to see where the other party got his confidence from as he was a fledgling with half a gold body.
After just a few words, the situation became tense again.
Zhou Peng was tongue-tied and didn't know how to persuade them. He was so anxious that he wanted to kneel down to the two ancestors.
The media and celebrities in the audience who reacted quickly moved away. They never expected that the plot would go off the rails at the start, and a melodramatic 8 o'clock drama would suddenly turn into a fight scene.
Just as the two were about to fight, the door at the back of the concert hall was opened and a figure carrying a briefcase hurried over.
"Boss! What happened?"
The person who came was also a cultivator, and he appeared on the stage in a flash.
"It's Assistant Qin!"
Someone in the audience recognized this golden assistant who had always spoken on behalf of the Xiao family.
Qu Yueqing, who was sitting on a stool nearby, also breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the other person.
With Assistant Qin showing up, there will definitely be no problem.
You should know that this assistant is not only Xiao Yunting's right-hand man who accompanied him in his youth to seize power, but also a tough guy who secretly helped Xiao Yunting solve many gray area problems.
According to rumors, he could single-handedly massacre the entire imperial capital's Xuanmen. When Xiao Yunting was exploring the European market and was once in danger, it was he who led people to rescue him.
Therefore, anyone could betray Xiao Yunting, except him.
Xiao Yunting's expression also visibly softened. After all the trouble today, he didn't feel like proposing. He only ordered, "Send someone else over to take Miss Ye back."
Zhou Peng was his subordinate, second only to his assistant in status, so he had to take such a sudden betrayal seriously.
