Chapter 416: Chapter 416 Xiao Family

Ye Chen’s brows slight furrowed, wariness in his eyes as he scanned the surroundings.

"Who’s there!" Ye Chen shouted sternly as he leapt up and fiercely pounced towards the bedroom.

Just then, the bedroom door suddenly opened and a young man with short black hair appeared before him.

Ye Chen coldly huffed at the sight of the youth and raised his right foot to deliver a vicious kick.

With a heavy "thud," the chest of the short black-haired young man took the full brunt of his kick, causing him to stagger backward two steps.

Staring at the young man who had managed to regain his footing, Ye Chen narrowed his eyes, a seriousness welling up in his heart.

That kick of his had been with fifty percent of his strength, not to mention it was a sneak attack. He had assumed it would be enough to take down this mysterious youth, yet unexpectedly, the opponent had blocked it.

"It seems I’ve underestimated him. Someone who can dodge my leg is probably not simple." Ye Chen muttered to himself, then crossed his arms, looking amusedly at the youth.

The short black-haired young man rubbed his aching chest, glaring at Ye Chen with rage and stated, "So you’re Ye Chen. I’m going to kill you!"

After speaking, the youth’s gaze landed on the fish soup on the table, a malicious smile creeping across his lips. "Kid, since you dare spoil my plans, then you better be ready to face the consequences."

"What are you going to do!" Seeing the sinister expression on the youth’s face, Ye Chen’s visage turned icy.

"Do what? Hehe, you’ll find out soon enough." The short black-haired young man gave a cold laugh and made the first move.

Upon seeing this, Ye Chen’s eyes sharpened, and he charged forward swiftly, slapping at the young man’s wrist while his left fist hammered toward his abdomen.

The short black-haired young man seemed to have anticipated it, nimbly dodging Ye Chen’s punch and reaching for the fish soup on the table.

At this scene, Ye Chen’s pupils dilated, and he shot out his right hand, grabbing the young man’s arm, thwarting his action.

"Damn it, kid, you’re quite clever," the short black-haired young man gritted his teeth at Ye Chen.

"Cut the crap." Ye Chen uttered coldly, slapping the youth’s cheek.

With a crisp smack, the short black-haired young man was flung to the ground, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.

"You..." The young man got up, furious and shocked as he glared at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen shook off his hand and said indifferently, "Talk. What are you doing here tonight? Without a reasonable explanation, you know what’s coming to you!"

The short black-haired young man stood up from the ground and wiped the blood from his lips, saying chillingly, "Ye Chen, you do have some skills. But do not forget the power behind me is not something you can provoke!"

"The power behind you?" Ye Chen raised an eyebrow; he didn’t recall offending any significant force.

The short black-haired young man sneered, announcing, "I’ll have you know, I’m the young master of Yunhai Group. My name is Xiao Shan."

Hearing this, Ye Chen shook his head, his tone even, "If you’re only seeking revenge, then I advise you not to indulge in fantasy."

"What did you say!" Xiao Shan’s eyebrows furrowed into a "川" shape, his gaze deadly cold as he stared at Ye Chen, teeth gritted, "Ye Chen, don’t think that just because you are Lin Yuqing’s boyfriend, the Xiao Family can’t touch you. You’d better think it over!"

"The Xiao Family?" Hearing this, Ye Chen was taken aback.

Yunhai Group was one of the top three financial conglomerates in Jiangnan Province, and its chairman was the wealthiest man in the province, possessing immense power. The Xiao Family was a branch under Yunhai Group and held a renowned reputation within it.

Although Ye Chen was unclear about Xiao Shan’s identity, he doubted that the chairman of Yunhai Group would send someone to assassinate him.

Thus, he was certain there was more to this than meets the eye.

Seeing Ye Chen’s appearance, Xiao Shan thought he was scared and immediately revealed a smug smile.

"Ye Chen, I advise you not to seek death by resisting any further," Xiao Shan scoffed.

"Heh, the Xiao Family is nothing in my eyes," Ye Chen responded with disdainful laughter.

Xiao Shan was taken aback, not expecting Ye Chen to remain so arrogant and presumptuous under these circumstances; he simply didn’t know what’s good for him.

Xiao Shan said coldly, "I don’t care if you take my Xiao Family seriously or not, but I urge you, you’d better obediently come with me to meet my father, otherwise, prepare to collect your corpse tomorrow!"

"Oh, so it was Elder Xiao who sent you. In that case, I’d really like to see what he’s up to," Ye Chen suddenly understood.

He speculated that Elder Xiao wanted him dead, certainly to force him to leave Lin Yuqing.

After all, with his character, he would definitely not compromise. Inevitably, this would lead to a conflict with Elder Xiao, which would be nothing but detrimental to the Lin Group.

With this in mind, he no longer hesitated and turned to walk out of the kitchen.

Seeing Ye Chen’s compliance, Xiao Shan’s face immediately lit up with wild joy, and he followed quickly.

Meanwhile, Lin Yuqing was pacing back and forth anxiously in the living room.

Her head buzzed, faintly hearing the noise of a quarrel outside, making her feel increasingly restless and irritable.

"Where the hell has this bastard gone!" Lin Yuqing cursed inwardly, then dialed Ye Chen’s phone.

However, the call tone kept ringing with no one answering.

"Could he have encountered danger again?"

A wave of panic swept over Lin Yuqing, and she hurried outside to see what had happened.

When she arrived at Ye Chen’s house, what greeted her eyes was a scene of devastation. The glass coffee table in the living room was shattered; the teapot and cups were scattered around, still emitting steaming white smoke.

Lin Yuqing’s brows were tightly furrowed; these things were clearly smashed.

Bang!

Just then, the door burst open, and Lin Yuqing looked up to see Ye Chen.

Ye Chen’s clothes were slightly disheveled, and there was a bruise on his forehead. It seemed he had just been through a fight.

"How are you? Are you hurt?" Lin Yuqing quickly stepped forward, helped Ye Chen to sit down, and asked with concern.

"I’m fine," Ye Chen shook his head, then looked at her and asked, "Why are you here? Are you worried something happened to me?"

"Yes, I’m very worried," Lin Yuqing nodded, her pretty face full of concern, feeling frightened like never before.

"Silly girl, I’m so strong, how could I get hurt," Ye Chen said softly, stroking Lin Yuqing’s hair.

Lin Yuqing pursed her lips and said, "I don’t care, if you dare to do this again, I won’t bother with you anymore!"

Ye Chen nodded, "I understand, it won’t happen again."

With that, his gaze fell on Xiao Shan.

Feeling Ye Chen’s gaze, Xiao Shan felt a chill down his spine; he was genuinely afraid now.

He had just witnessed Ye Chen’s ferocious moment, and had it not been for his own martial skills, his neck would have been broken by now.
