Chapter 96: Chapter 96: Kicking Against the Steel Plate

"Yo... Young Master?"

Li Tie carefully looked at the figure who had just rushed in, quickly stepping forward and saying, "Young Master, you’re finally here! Let me tell you—"

Smack!

Li Xu didn’t even glance at Li Tie but directly shoved his chubby face aside, leaving him stunned in place.

Although Li Xu had been scared out of his wits the moment he heard Ye Fei’s name at the club, he still held onto a glimmer of hope.

Maybe it was just someone with the same name?

Maybe it wasn’t Mr. Ye at all, and he was just overthinking?

After all, Mr. Ye was the titan of Su Province, a figure as godlike and demonic—how could the insignificant Ye Family ever provoke him?

Didn’t they say that group came from the North Suburb? Mr. Ye is in Yuntai!

But as Li Xu’s gaze fell on the calm and indifferent Ye Fei standing right before him, all his hopes were thoroughly shattered!

"You’re here?" Ye Fei looked at Li Xu and smiled faintly.

"Y-yes, I’m here!" Li Xu swallowed hard and replied.

Ye Fei pointed to a nearby seat and said, "Sit."

"N-no... no..."

Li Xu was about to refuse, but when he saw Ye Fei’s brows slightly furrow, he broke into a cold sweat and sat down immediately.

As the eldest son of the Li Family, Li Xu wouldn’t normally be this intimidated, even in the presence of someone like Ye Fei, the powerhouse of Su Province.

But the problem lay in the fact that Ye Fei wasn’t just a powerhouse.

He possessed a martial prowess akin to a god demon.

In recent months, using the resources of the Li Family, Li Xu had delved deeply into the world of martial artists.

The more he investigated, the more terrified he became—because among all the martial artists accessible to the Li Family, he hadn’t even heard of anyone remotely comparable to Ye Fei.

If it hadn’t been for the last shred of pride as Li Family’s eldest son propping him up, Li Xu might have knelt the moment he walked in.

While Li Xu was consumed by fear, Li Tie, in contrast, walked over with a smug look, standing behind Li Xu and sneering, "Little brat, weren’t you just saying that the Li Family should find a way to withstand your wrath? Didn’t you say you’re not someone to be trifled with? Now that our Young Master is here, why don’t you say all that again?"

"Are you sure you want me to repeat it?" Ye Fei asked with a faint smile.

"What the hell! At this point, you little brat still dare to act tough? Our Young Ma—"

Crack!

Before Li Tie could finish his sentence, Li Xu raised his arm in anger and slapped him hard across the face.

Not content, Li Xu grabbed the nearest chair and table and smashed them onto Li Tie, leaving him bleeding profusely and utterly dazed.

"Young Master, you—"

"To hell with ’Young Master’! I’m talking to Mr. Ye—who are you to butt in?"

Li Xu kicked Li Tie to the ground with a fierce look, then turned back to Ye Fei and said, "Mr. Ye, please go easy on us. My subordinates acted recklessly; I had no knowledge of this incident."

"I know you had no clue. Otherwise, do you think you’d even be standing here now?" Ye Fei snorted coldly.

"No, I don’t think so! Not at all!"

Li Xu immediately forced a smile.

Watching his family’s Young Master grovel so submissively before Ye Fei, realization suddenly dawned on Li Tie. The ’arrogant kid’ he had ridiculed earlier wasn’t some local bumpkin—he was clearly a formidable dragon that had crossed the river!

Cradling his bleeding head, Li Tie quivered as he nervously asked, "Y-young Master... who is this man?"

"Hmph! This is Mr. Ye, the undisputed ruler of Su Province’s 13 cities—the region’s one and only giant!" Li Xu roared.

Li Tie froze completely upon hearing this.

As memories of his earlier actions, mockery, and threats toward Ye Fei flashed in his mind, a wave of sheer terror surged through him, leading to an embarrassing warm sensation down below—he had wet himself.

The chaotic scene drew to an unceremonious close.

Li Tie’s fate afterward remains unknown.

However, the manager of the Crown Hotel was promptly replaced by the man who had earlier informed Li Xu at the club.

Ye Fei and his family checked into the hotel’s most luxurious Supreme President Suite.

But after all the events unfolding throughout the day, Ye Fei felt compelled to visit his parents’ room. He smiled and said, "Dad, Mom, if there’s anything you want to ask, you can ask now!"

To Ye Fei’s surprise, his traditionally simple-minded farmer father now gazed at him with smart, discerning eyes and spoke calmly, "Xiao Fei, your mom and I are indeed curious about everything that happened to you today. But we only have one question for you: Have you ever done anything against your own conscience?"

"Never!" Ye Fei replied decisively.

"That’s good to hear. Go rest. This marriage arranged by the Ye Family for you will likely be no simple matter. In your grandfather’s eyes, everyone is either useful or useless." Ye Zhigang said with a downcast expression.

"Grandfather, huh? I’ll be sure to properly acquaint myself with him!" Ye Fei said with a faint smile as he walked out of the room.

Binjiang, Wang Family.

Though overshadowed by the dominance of the Li Family, the Wang Family rivaled the Ye Family in terms of wealth and influence.

Not exactly a powerhouse, but sufficiently deserving of the title ’elite household.’

As the eldest daughter of the Wang Family, Wang Yuting had recently been locking herself in her room, furrowing her brows in distress. The reason? She had encountered, for the first time in her life, a matter where she lacked control:

Her marriage!

"Qingqing, why does my dad have to treat me like this? He used to indulge me in everything, but now he’s forcing an engagement on me without even consulting me. I couldn’t even object—he’s locked me up!"

In her boudoir, Wang Yuting sobbed bitterly, pearly tears streaming down her face as she poured out her grievances to her only loyal friend, Jia Qing.

Her stunning, tear-streaked face would melt the heart of any man who looked upon her.

Jia Qing patted her back gently to comfort her. "Being born into an elite family—outsiders think it’s a blessing, but it comes with its own hardships. I heard about your situation; Uncle Wang seems determined to forge this alliance?"

"Exactly! Qingqing, I have no idea what’s so special about the Ye Family! Why must I marry into their family? And they’re talking about finalizing it before the New Year!" Wang Yuting said helplessly.

The Ye Family?

Upon hearing those words, Jia Qing immediately grasped the situation.

In Binjiang, with the Li Family’s dominance firmly entrenched, the only family worthy of an alliance with the Wang Family was the Ye Family.

The urgency of the Wang-Ye marriage was undoubtedly connected to the Li Family.

True equilibrium among three dominant forces requires substantial groundwork.

The power of the Li Family couldn’t be matched by either the Wang Family or Ye Family solo, so this alliance seemed like an early strategic move.

Understanding this, Jia Qing quickly asked, "Tingting, if it’s the Ye Family, then who’s your fiancé? Ye Wei, the son of the Ye Family Patriarch? Didn’t he already have a marriage agreement? Besides him, is there anyone in the Ye Family that can match your status?"

"I don’t know!"

Wang Yuting frowned slightly as she replied, "From what my dad said, it seems like it’s not Ye Wei—it’s the son of the Ye Family’s third child!"
