Chapter 590: Chapter 636, Receiving Goods

"Why, why?" Xu He was a bit confused by Fang Yi’s words.

"It’s simple," Fang Yi said. "Both you and Shen Binnan can swim. If you both fell into the water at the same time, I wouldn’t need to save you; you could make it to the shore on your own."

"But what if both of us suddenly got a cramp in our leg?" Xu He persisted stubbornly.

"That’s highly unlikely," Fang Yi laughed.

...

Xu He didn’t ask any further. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Fang Yi’s smiling face and felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.

They continued to drink late into the night. When Fang Yi suggested leaving, Xu He stopped him.

"It’s late. You might as well sleep here," Xu He said.

"Aren’t you afraid of the paparazzi?" Fang Yi knew the paparazzi in Lank City could be quite fierce.

"I think you’re the one who’s afraid to stay here," Xu He teased.

"Don’t provoke me, I won’t fall for it," Fang Yi said. "But since you’re insisting so kindly, it would be disrespectful to refuse your hospitality. So, where’s my bed?"

Xu He pointed to the couch.

Fang Yi’s face immediately showed disappointment.

Fang Yi didn’t make any trouble and slept soundly on the couch. The next morning, he woke to find Xu He’s agent Wu Han had arrived, bringing toiletries with him.

After greeting Wu Han, Fang Yi finished his morning routine in the bathroom and came out to find Wu Han speaking with Xu He. Xu He looked a bit upset, but when she saw Fang Yi, she quickly put on a smile.

Fang Yi didn’t mention it and said, "I’ll be going now."

"Be careful on your way," Xu He nodded.

Fang Yi turned to leave, but just as he opened the door, he was blocked by someone.

There stood a man, holding a large bouquet of roses, thinking Xu He was the one coming out. He immediately said, "Xu He, I like you!"

Fang Yi raised an eyebrow, "You’ve got the wrong person, I’m not Xu He."

The man moved the roses aside, saw Fang Yi in the room, and his expression darkened, "Who are you, and how come you’re in Xu He’s room?"

"My last name is ’Your’, first name ’Uncle’, and I am Your Uncle," Fang Yi replied indifferently. "As for why I am here, that’s my business and not yours."

Fang Yi’s attitude naturally infuriated the man. Since becoming a top star in the entertainment industry, no one had dared to speak to him in that tone.

"Filthy person!" the man spat.

Fang Yi’s eyes sparkled with a cold and fierce light as he said coldly, "Say that again, I dare you."

"Hmm, trying to threaten me?" Chen Weihao spoke arrogantly. "I’ve never had to crawl for anyone, come on! Lowly and impolite person!"

Fang Yi laughed, a chilling smile.

The next moment, Fang Yi suddenly made a move, grabbed Chen Weihao by the neck, and pinned him against the opposite wall!

Chen Weihao was in pain, his eyes bulging as though they were about to pop out, and he was in extreme agony. At the same time, people from both sides of the hallway came in and saw this scene, filled with excitement.

"Get those cameras snapping, get them snapping!"

"The rising star of Huangying Company is getting beaten against a wall, this is huge news."

"Hurry and take the pictures, opportunities like this don’t come twice!"

Everyone was buzzing with excitement. They had thought there wouldn’t be much news, but now it seemed this was a major scoop. If they printed this, their newspaper sales were sure to skyrocket.

At this moment, Chen Weihao desperately wanted to defend himself, but Fang Yi was clutching his throat. Though Fang Yi wasn’t choking him to death, Chen Weihao was rendered speechless, left to stare with bulging eyes, his face red with the strain, drained of strength.

Fang Yi locked eyes with the helpless Chen Weihao and said coldly, "I don’t care who you are, but your insult has angered me. Since you called mainlanders lowly, I’ll show you what being lowly means."

As his words fell, Fang Yi released Chen Weihao’s throat. Chen Weihao rolled down the wall and plopped onto the ground. Then, as Chen Weihao gasped for air, Fang Yi stepped on his face.

In a flash, a shoe print marked Chen Weihao’s face, the small Huangying Company star humiliated to the extreme by Fang Yi.

Inside the room, Xu He wanted to come out, but Fang Yi gave her a cold look, not a word said, and went to close the door, not allowing Xu He to emerge.

Then, Fang Yi slowly approached Chen Weihao and said indifferently, "To me, it seems the people of Lank City aren’t so noble themselves." His words dripping with sarcasm and mockery.

After that, Fang Yi didn’t say more and left.

Lank City is a coastal city with more docks than airports. That evening, around seven o’clock, Fang Yi, along with Su Ge’er and Yang Dingfeng, arrived at the Outer Domain wharf to meet with Cao Chun first.

Cao Chun brought over a hundred people, not to fight, but to help unload cargo. In addition, Cao Chun had brought his son, Cao Yongjun.

Cao Yongjun looked at Fang Yi with natural venom and resentment, especially when he saw Su Ge’er following Fang Yi, he instantly remembered the night he was stripped and left in the wilderness, a time when Cao Yongjun was utterly humiliated.

After returning, Cao Yongjun wanted to complain, but he was slapped several times by Cao Chun and harshly chastised.

"Don’t mess with Fang Yi," was Cao Chun’s warning to his son. "From now on, don’t oppose him, and don’t ask me to deal with him again!"

However, Cao Yongjun, accustomed to being the offspring of a crime lord, agreed superficially while his hatred for Fang Yi grew undiminished inside.

Cao Chun made small talk with Fang Yi, then said sternly, "Yongjun, come and apologize to Mr. Fang!"

Cao Yongjun came over reluctantly and said, "I’m sorry," in a flippant tone.

"You brat!" Cao Chun cursed, then with a smile added, "Mr. Fang, I have failed in my discipline. Yongjun has shown you great disrespect in the past, I hope you can be magnanimous."

Cao Chun was lowering his stance; he didn’t want to be enemies with Fang Yi. Fang Yi graciously accepted, with a smile he said, "Let’s not dwell on the past. Alliance Leader Cao, I hope we can work together harmoniously in the future."

"Of course, of course," replied Cao Chun, beaming.

Later, the two men reached the highest point of the docks. Fang Yi looked out towards the horizon and narrowed his eyes, saying, "Alliance Leader Cao, this is your territory. There shouldn’t be any problems, right?"

Cao Chun answered, "There shouldn’t be any problems. If there are, it would be the Qinghong Alliance."

Fang Yi’s brows lifted as he asked, "What, does the Qinghong Alliance dare to rob goods on your turf?"

Cao Chun explained, "Mr. Fang might not be aware, but among our three great alliances, we all have spies planted within each other’s ranks. Everyone wants to consume the other until nothing is left. The gold you’re transporting will make everyone green with envy, I can’t guarantee that the Qinghong Alliance won’t be tempted."

"Is that so..." Fang Yi looked out at the sea under the night sky and said coldly, "Then let them come if they dare!"

At Fang Yi’s side, Cao Chun shivered involuntarily.

Because he felt the icy murderous intent in Fang Yi’s words.
