Upon witnessing the scene before her, Qin Muge’s face showed a trace of surprise.

She had been worried that Kang Wenyuan would seek revenge on Ye Xunhuan and was even preparing to warn Ye Xunhuan to be careful.

But due to Ye Xunhuan’s sharp tongue, Qin Muge refrained from speaking.

Now, seeing what was unfolding, Qin Muge was dumbstruck.

Kang Wenyuan was actually kowtowing to Ye Xunhuan, what on earth was going on?

Given Kang Wenyuan’s character, seeing his brother beaten so badly, how could he stoop so low?

Unless this was someone he couldn’t afford to offend!

Ye Xunhuan also felt the gazes of others and couldn’t help but smile bitterly to himself.

He had wanted to keep a low profile, but fate seemed to have other plans.

With Kang Wenyuan’s actions, it would be difficult to maintain a low profile in the future!

If he couldn’t stay low-key, then he might as well go high-profile!

“Get lost!” Ye Xunhuan coldly spat out the word at Kang Wenyuan.

Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, Kang Wenyuan didn’t leave, but continued to fawn with a smile, “Young Master Ye, about Little Ninth Brother and Miss Su…”

“I have my own arrangements!”

Kang Wenyuan had lived half a life and understood human relations better than anyone.

Now that Ye Xunhuan had spoken, if he continued to persist, it would seem ungrateful.

“Young Master Ye, please keep this item as an apology to Miss Tang…”

As he spoke, Kang Wenyuan carefully stuffed a check into Ye Xunhuan’s hand.

Only a fool would refuse a windfall.

Money offered freely should never be declined.

Seeing Ye Xunhuan accept the money, Kang Wenyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Since Ye Xunhuan had taken the money, it meant that he wouldn’t give Kang Wenyuan and his brother further trouble on account of Little Ninth Brother and Su Guyan.

Ye Xunhuan, with Tang Yurou in tow, got directly into his Mercedes-Benz S-Class!

If Kang Wenyuan hadn’t appeared earlier, Tang Yurou would have surely been shocked at Ye Xunhuan owning a Mercedes-Benz S-Class; now, she wasn’t.

Although Tang Yurou was shy and introverted, she was not foolish; on the contrary, she was very clever.

The fact that Kang Wenyuan groveled so humbly indicated that Ye Xunhuan was no small figure, so having a Mercedes-Benz S-Class seemed entirely reasonable.

After getting into the car, Ye Xunhuan looked at Tang Yurou and said, “Why, were you scared?”

“No…

it’s not that, Xunhuan, you…”

“You’re wondering what kind of person I am, right?”

Tang Yurou nodded.

“Actually, my background is very impressive.

People like Kang Wenyuan are nothing but trash in my eyes, I could crush them with a single stomp…”

“Really?”

“Of course!”

“Then why are you working here?”

“Isn’t it because I knew I would meet you here?” Ye Xunhuan said with a chuckle.

Hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, Tang Yurou’s cheeks flitted with a hint of shyness, and her heart felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey!

Seeing Tang Yurou’s bashful appearance, Ye Xunhuan wanted to hug her and kiss her flushed cheeks, but he suppressed the urge and said, “Do you want to meet Little Ninth?”

“Ah!” Tang Yurou was startled.

“You’re going to see Little Ninth Brother?”

“Yes.

Do you want to meet him?”

“Can I?” Tang Yurou’s eyes revealed a hopeful expression, but she asked cautiously.

Little Ninth Brother was the most mysterious figure in Jiangzhong City, with few having seen his true face, and anyone who could speak with him was a person of high status and power.

Now that Ye Xunhuan was about to introduce her to the elusive and secretive Little Ninth Brother, Tang Yurou felt a thrill of excitement.

“Let’s go, I’ll take you to meet Little Ninth today.”

Saying this, Ye Xunhuan started the car.

“But Little Nine can be quite cheeky, so if he says something disrespectful, try not to get angry!”

“I know!” Tang Yurou nodded understandingly.

Big shots tend to have a temper, especially a boss like Little Nine.

Ye Xunhuan didn’t say anything more and drove straight off to find Little Nine, leaving the Huangtu Group behind.

It was at the moment Ye Xunhuan departed that Qin Muge finally appeared in the parking lot, watching the departing sedan with a thoughtful expression.

However, upon noticing that Kang Wenyuan had not left but was standing to the side with a sycophantic smile, incessantly waving, Qin Muge walked straight towards Kang Wenyuan.

In a moment, Qin Muge reached Kang Wenyuan’s side.

“Mr.

Kang…”

Hearing someone calling him, Kang Wenyuan immediately turned his head to look at the source of the voice.

“It’s President Qin!” The sycophantic smile disappeared from Kang Wenyuan’s face as he looked at Qin Muge and asked earnestly, “Is there something you need from me, President Qin?”

“Mr.

Kang, just now…”

“Oh, you mean Young Master Ye, right?

It’s nothing, just a casual chat!”

“Really?” A meaningful smile slowly formed on Qin Muge’s lips, “Because I saw you sucking up to him like a fawning dog…”

You don’t hit a person in the face or bring up their sore spots.

Upon hearing Qin Muge’s words, Kang Wenyuan’s face immediately darkened, “Miss Qin, I hope you’ll watch your language…”

“What, are you planning to do something to me?”

Kang Wenyuan’s lips twitched slightly.

Qin Muge wasn’t an ordinary woman; she was the CEO of the Huangtu Group.

In other words, Qin Muge was Qiu Ruoxi’s spokesperson, a public figure.

Dealing with her wasn’t going to be simple.

“Mr.

Kang, I didn’t mean anything by it.

I just wanted to ask what this is all about.”

“What do you mean ‘what is this all about’?”

Kang Wenyuan obviously understood what Qin Muge meant, but he couldn’t dare to say it!

Both Little Nine and Su Guyan had warned him severely: if he leaked even a single word to anyone else, they would make sure he won’t have a place to be buried.

He couldn’t afford to offend either of them.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be on my way.”

Having said that, Kang Wenyuan left with his head held high.

Watching Kang Wenyuan’s retreating figure, Qin Muge scoffed, “Ungrateful bastard, do you really think I can’t find out without you?”

Ye Xunhuan was unaware of the intense curiosity Qin Muge now had about his identity.

But even if he knew, Ye Xunhuan wouldn’t care.

At that moment, he had already taken Tang Yurou to the “Ye Not Return” bar where he had been with Qin Muge that one night!

“Is Little Nine here?”

Ye Xunhuan nodded, “Yes, let’s go, I’ll take you to him.”

With that, Ye Xunhuan and Tang Yurou walked out of the car and headed towards the bar.

Since it wasn’t yet prime nightlife hours, the bar had some patrons but was not crowded.

Upon entering the bar, Ye Xunhuan’s gaze immediately fell on a dim corner to the southeast.

In the corner sat a man, hugging a laptop, engrossed in whatever he was doing!

Ye Xunhuan then pulled Tang Yurou towards the corner and when he arrived next to the man, Ye Xunhuan’s face instantly darkened.

Damn it, the bastard was watching ‘art’ and looked damn excited about it!
