Chapter 227: Chapter 203: "Come out, fight until you submit!

PS: There was a typo in Chapter 202: Pan Jueming is at the Postnatal Great Success stage. I’ve corrected it, and I’m truly sorry—lately, I’ve been so used to typing "Innate" that I accidentally replaced "Postnatal" with "Innate". I will pay more attention to this in the future.

...

...

After a cold laugh, Song Ying straightened her chest with pride, like a peacock, and pressed the answer button "Husband..."

"What are you doing? Why haven’t you come yet?"

Just as Song Ying had called out "husband," she was interrupted by Zheng Xun’s dissatisfaction. He had invited four members of the Hong Ding Club’s Dong hai branch to dine here today. When those members heard his fiancée had come to Dong hai, they all suggested meeting her. For this reason, he had specially asked Song Ying to join them, but after waiting for nearly half an hour, she still hadn’t shown up, which somewhat irritated him.

"Husband, I’m already on the fourth floor of the restaurant..."

"Then why haven’t you come in?"

Once again, Zheng Xun interrupted Song Ying with dissatisfaction. It seemed he felt Song Ying’s lateness was making him look bad in front of the other members of the Hong Ding Club.

"I was stopped by Pan Jueming."

Far from being grateful for her past relationship with Pan Jueming, Song Ying looked at him with a cold smile, intending to shift all blame onto him.

"What... what?"

Zheng Xun’s expression changed. Although he had stolen Pan Jueming’s woman and caused the ruin of Pan Jueming’s family, Pan Jueming was after all his fiancée’s ex-boyfriend, which in a way made him a cuckold. Upon hearing that Pan Jueming had stopped Song Ying, how could he remain seated?

The next moment.

Without waiting for Song Ying’s response, Zheng Xun hung up the phone, forcibly restraining the anger in his heart, and squeezed out a strained smile, "I’ve got a call to take."

Although the other four members of the Hong Ding Club didn’t know what had happened, they could all tell that Zheng Xun was in a bad mood and expressed that it was no issue.

With that, Zheng Xun no longer lingered and turned to walk out of the private room.

In the light, it was clear to see that the moment he turned around, his expression became extremely gloomy!

Quickly, Zheng Xu stepped out of the private room and immediately saw Song Ying at the elevator entrance. Then his gaze swept toward Pan Jueming like a sharp knife, flickering with flames of anger!

Pan Jueming had originally planned to settle things after teaching Ma Long a lesson and avenging Su Jindi. He knew the matter wasn’t over when he saw Song Ying on the phone with Zheng Xun, and now that Zheng Xun had shown up, he was even more certain of this.

"Brother Pan, should we call Brother Ye?"

Having once been the Demon Lord of Mayhem in Hanghu, Su Jindi wasn’t a brainless second generation. He could tell that Song Ying dared to be arrogant because she had backing. Now, seeing Zheng Xun show up, and remembering Song Ying’s imperious manner on the phone, he deduced that Zheng Xun had no small influence and suggested accordingly.

"Not yet."

Pan Jueming shook his head. He was very clear that an outstanding subordinate should complete the tasks arranged by superiors and report back in a timely manner, not seek help from above at the first sign of trouble—that would show incompetence.

He didn’t wish for, nor would he allow himself to leave an impression of helplessness on Ye Fan!

"Husband..."

Just as Pan Jueming decided to not notify Ye Fan for the time being, Song Ying approached with a face full of grievance.

"What’s going on?" Zheng Xun asked Song Ying coldly, yet his gaze remained fixed on Pan Jueming, as if he feared Pan Jueming would escape.

"That brat tried to take advantage of me while getting into the elevator, and Brother Ma stopped him. After going upstairs, he was relentless and Brother Ma taught him a lesson. Pan Jueming saw this and came out to back up that brat, breaking Brother Ma’s arm," Song Ying said swiftly, not even blinking as she lied.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Xun’s face darkened as he approached Pan Jueming and said coldly, "Hey, Pan Jueming, I hear you’ve recently joined the Ye Family’s bastard and become the second-in-command in the Dong hai Gang. It seems the rumors are true."

"Zheng Xun, you better watch your mouth!"

Seeing Zheng Xun insulting Ye Fan, Pan Jueming’s expression turned cold, and the aura of a martial artist burst forth from him. His gaze was sharp as he stared at Zheng Xun, as if he would splatter blood on the spot if Zheng Xun dared to say another word against Ye Fan!

"Hiss~"

As Pan Jueming’s icy words reached his ears, and feeling the chilling aura coming from him, Zheng Xun’s lips twitched in anger, then he said with a frosty face, "Just a bastard of the Ye Family. Do you think that by clinging to his coattails, you can strut around Dong hai unchallenged?"

"Slap―"

Without answering, Pan Jueming’s face remained ice-cold as he took a step forward.

"Pan Jueming, you’d better think this through. If you dare lay a finger on me today, I won’t let you get away with it!" Seeing Pan Jueming’s move to start a fight, Zheng Xun’s face changed, but he did not retreat, instead, he threatened with a sneer.

Hmm?

As Zheng Xun’s words ended, Pan Jueming’s peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of Ye Fan coming out of the nearby private room, and his expression changed!

"Hey, looks like you’re not beyond salvation."

Seeing Pan Jueming’s change of expression, Zheng Xun thought his words had frightened Pan Jueming, and his arrogance surged. He looked up as if he were a divine being looking down on an ant, his face full of arrogance, "Cut off one of your hands and kneel down with that kid beside you. Knock your head on the ground three times, and we’ll call it even. Otherwise..."

"Otherwise, what?"

Before Zheng Xun could finish his sentence, a deep voice interrupted.

Whoosh!

The sudden voice caused both Zheng Xun and Song Ying to change their faces simultaneously, instinctively turning their heads!

Under the light.

They saw Ye Fan, dressed in a Zhongshan suit, frowning as he walked over.

Who was he?

Seeing the unfamiliar face of Ye Fan who had rushed over from Yanjing to Dong Hai the night before, Song Ying was shocked!

Reason told her that Ye Fan must be Pan Jueming’s backer, yet she could hardly imagine what level of audacity Ye Fan needed to challenge Zheng Xun, who had already cozied up to the Bai Family!

What level of audacity was needed?

The changing expressions on Zheng Xun’s face provided a perfect interpretation.

As soon as he saw Ye Fan’s face—not very familiar but definitely not strange—Zheng Xun’s pupils dilated to their fullest, and a hint of panic instantly surged between his brows!

Indeed...

It was panic!

Despite his claims that Ye Fan was the Ye Family’s bastard, as a member of the Hong Ding Club, he had heard about Ye Fan’s various deeds, even knew that Ye Wenhao, for the sake of Ye Fan, had violated the rules, destroyed the Dantian of Yanhuang Organization’s Dong Hai person-in-charge Lv Canghai with one palm, and had even issued a threatening declaration to the Bai Family’s Deputy Flag Bearer Guan Yi!

All of this was enough to prove that Ye Wenhao took Ye Fan very seriously!

In such a situation, even if Ye Fan was just Ye Wenhao’s illegitimate child, he was not someone Zheng Xun could contend with—the wrath of Ye Wenhao was something the Zheng Family could not afford!

"Brother Ye!"

Seeing that Ye Fan’s single sentence had frightened Zheng Xun to the point where he didn’t dare to let out a single fart, Su Jindi felt ecstatic like someone who had eaten the fruit of life, and hurriedly approached Ye Fan.

"Mr. Ye."

Pan Jueming, too, bowed and paid respects to Ye Fan at the first opportunity, but there was not a hint of triumph on his face, only self-reproach. He was berating himself for not properly handling the situation and troubling Ye Fan to intervene personally. With feelings of guilt, he tried to explain, "Mr. Ye, I..."

"I already know everything."

Ye Fan shook his head, cutting Pan Jueming’s words short. Although the private room at Tan’s Private Kitchen had good sound insulation, as an Early Innate Martial Artist, his Spiritual Sense and hearing were far beyond ordinary people. He heard everything when Pan Jueming loudly stopped Ma Long from making a move on Su Jindi and then concealed his consciousness to listen to the rest of the events.

His delay in stepping forward was meant to test Pan Jueming. On one hand, he wanted to see Pan Jueming’s loyalty, and on the other, he wanted to observe how Pan Jueming would act in the face of Song Ying and Zheng Xun.

In his view, Pan Jueming’s performance was worthy of full marks!

"Ye Fan, your man just tried to take advantage of my girlfriend..."

When Ye Fan interrupted Pan Jueming’s words, Zheng Xun couldn’t help but speak up, subconsciously trying to explain the cause and course of events, indicating that the fault lay with Su Jindi and Pan Jueming, and attempting to seize the moral high ground.

However—

Before he could finish his sentence, he was sternly cut off by Ye Fan, "If I remember correctly, you just said: ’If Jueming dares to touch a hair on your head today, you’ll make sure he can’t walk away! You demanded that Jueming sever one of his hands, and then both he and Emperor Jin kneel and kowtow three times to you before you would consider calling it even, right?"

"Uh..."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Xun’s mouth gaped open, he wanted to say something, but his mind went blank—he could tell that Ye Fan was taking up for Pan Jueming!

"Since you spoke so unkindly before, I will not be polite now," Ye Fan said, his tone suddenly turning icy, "You and your woman, kneel now and apologize to Jueming until he is satisfied!"

"You..."

Despite his fear of Ye Fan, upon hearing Ye Fan’s domineering words, Zheng Xun trembled with anger, while Song Ying turned pale, realizing keenly that as soon as Ye Fan appeared, Zheng Xun had gone from lord to lackey!

"I’m giving you and your woman ten seconds. If, after ten seconds, you and your woman haven’t done as I said, you’ll bear the consequences!" Ye Fan spoke again in a cold voice, turning their own tactics against them.

"Ye... Ye Fan, this is just too much!" Facing Ye Fan’s threat, Zheng Xun trembled with rage.

"One!"

"Ye..."

"Two!"

"Ye Fan, I hope you understand, you’re just Ye Wenhao’s illegitimate son. It was already beyond generous of him to save you once; do you really think he will save you for a lifetime?"

Seeing that Ye Fan was set on taking Pan Jueming’s side and making both himself and Song Ying kneel, Zheng Xun panicked. He was fearful of Ye Wenhao behind Ye Fan, but he also understood that if he truly knelt and apologized to Ye Fan under threat, he would become the laughingstock of the Huaxia scions and the shame of the Hong Ding Club!

At that point, he would be kicked out of the club by Bai Luo, thus losing the massive backing of the Bai Family!

Realizing all of this, Zheng Xun decided to throw caution to the wind, glaring at Ye Fan with fury, "Ye Family’s bastard, even if you kill me today, I won’t kowtow to that waste Pan Jueming!"

"Jueming, do it. Hit him until he kowtows and begs for mercy!"

Ye Fan’s eyes narrowed slightly.
