Chapter 270: Chapter 270: I’m Not a Child

Ye Wumei had recently learned from Fang Bai that like herself, Xia Chenyu had not only been saved by Fang Bai but had also received his teachings, which turned her into a Martial Artist.

Ye Wumei originally thought that she had a closer relationship with Fang Bai, but she hadn’t expected that Xia Chenyu also had multiple layers of relationship with him, including being one of the shareholders in Xia Chenyu’s company. This realization made her feel a sense of crisis, so she especially cherished the opportunities to be with Fang Bai.

Fang Bai had saved Ye Wumei’s life from the Wrathful Beauties, but this matter was only known to a few core members of the Ye Family. At this moment, the four bodyguards protecting Ye Wumei were members from the side branches of the Ye Family, not qualified to participate in core family affairs, and therefore did not know much about Fang Bai.

The four bodyguards knew that Ye Wumei had the strength of a Martial Artist at the middle level of the Yellow Level and could see that Xia Chenyu possessed the same level of cultivation as Ye Wumei, but they felt no aura fluctuations from Fang Bai and assumed he was just an ordinary person.

When Ye Wumei said that Fang Bai was stronger than both her and Xia Chenyu combined, the four bodyguards simply didn’t believe it. They thought Ye Wumei was deliberately exaggerating Fang Bai’s abilities to get rid of them.

"Miss, the Family Head assigned us to protect your personal safety. We must fulfill our duty and tolerate no negligence. If you truly do not wish for us to protect you closely, that’s fine, as long as you can obtain the agreement of the Family Head."

Ye Li spoke coldly, and after she finished, she also glanced at Fang Bai with a look of disdain and contempt, and even a bit of scorn, clearly thinking of Fang Bai as a freeloader.

Fang Bai was the man Ye Wumei liked and one of the men she respected the most; seeing Ye Li’s disdainful attitude towards Fang Bai, the usually good-tempered Ye Wumei also got a bit angry and snorted, "Let’s fight!"

Ye Wumei immediately took out her phone and dialed her father Ye Xing, who was far away in Lingnan.

While Ye Wumei was calling her father, Ye Xing was in a conference room of the Ye Family’s villa in Lingnan, presiding over a secret meeting that only core family members were allowed to attend.

Ever since the kidnapping incident involving Ye Wumei, numerous interests of the Ye Family in Huaxia and around the world had been violated. After investigations, it was determined that it was related to the internationally infamous organization, Wrathful Beauties. Outraged, Ye Xing specifically convened this meeting to deploy defensive and counteractive measures.

Regarding the Wrathful Beauties, although many had heard of this organization, very few actually knew what it specifically did.

Some said it was an evil criminal organization conducting shady business, its members both male and female, each one a heartless demon.

Others claimed it was a private charity organization dedicated to helping those in difficulty, all of its members being women, each gentle and beautiful, like angels sent to Earth from heaven.

Ever since its inception, Wrathful Beauties was shrouded in mystery. It started in obscurity, its members acting discreetly, receiving almost no attention. However, in recent years, it suddenly gained prominence, rising meteorically, becoming powerful in the eyes of the public, and seemingly capable of contending with other long-established major powers in the world.

In the Lingnan Ye Family, aside from a few core members such as Ye Xing, the vast majority of the Ye Family members were unaware of the reasons behind the powerful and morally ambiguous Wrathful Beauties, known for their polarizing reputation, repeatedly targeting the Ye Family recently.

As the Family Head, faced with the repeated provocations of Wrathful Beauties, Ye Xing showed a strong side, preparing to mobilize all of the family’s resources and strength to strike back effectively after the internal family meeting, thus telling the world that the Ye Family was not to be trifled with.

As Ye Xing was presiding over the meeting, his phone on the desk before him suddenly vibrated. He glanced at the screen, saw that it was his daughter calling, and his heart skipped a beat. He immediately grabbed the phone and pressed the answer button.

Since his daughter’s last kidnapping by Wrathful Beauties in Yanjing, Ye Xing had, against all objections, assigned four Profound Level Martial Artists from the family to protect her closely. Even so, every time his daughter went out, he and his wife still worried. When his daughter called, his first thought was whether something had happened to her.

"Wumei, are you alright?"

Ye Xing walked aside with the phone and asked nervously in a low voice.

"Dad, don’t worry, I’m fine."

With a bond as strong as theirs, Ye Wumei could hear the concern in her father’s voice over the phone. A warmth filled her heart, and she continued, "Dad, could you please tell Ye Li to ask them not to follow me all the time... I have no personal space at all, it’s driving me crazy!"

Upon hearing that his daughter was okay, Ye Xing breathed a sigh of relief and asked with a smile, "What’s wrong with Ye Li and the others?"

Ye Wumei replied irritably, "I ran into two friends in Zhongzhou City, and now the three of us are planning to go shopping. But Ye Li and the others insist on tagging along... Tell me, can we have fun with them around?"

"Wumei, I have no objections to you going shopping with your friends, but for your personal safety, I must have Ye Li and the others follow you. Otherwise, how could I be at ease?"

Ye Xing, though he doted on his daughter, would never indulge her whims when it came to her safety.

The last time his daughter was kidnapped, although Fang Bai intervened and the danger was averted, Ye Xing had been terribly frightened and could not take it lightly anymore.

"Dad, Fang Bai is here! Do you think Ye Li and the others are stronger than Fang Bai?"

Ye Wumei said, clearly annoyed.

"What? You mean... one of your two friends is Mr. Fang Bai?"

Ye Xing’s spirits lifted as he asked hastily.

"Yes! Now can you be at ease?"

Ye Wumei glanced at Fang Bai beside her and said somewhat smugly.

"At ease! Of course, I’m at ease! With Mr. Fang, a high-level martial artist, accompanying you, what do I have to worry about? But Wumei, in front of Mr. Fang, you must show him respect, listen obediently, and not upset Mr. Fang..."

"I know, Dad, I’m not a child anymore..."

Ye Wumei interrupted her father and muttered under her breath.

"You girl... From now on, you can’t simply call him by his name; you must say ’Mr. Fang.’ That’s how you show respect... Got it?"

Ye Xing knew that Fang Bai was an extraordinary individual, skilled in both medicine and martial arts, who had not only saved his daughter’s life but also imparted knowledge. Although he was a top martial artist at the Profound Level within the Ye Family, he was nothing compared to Fang Bai.

Ye Xing held Fang Bai in awe and had repeatedly instructed his daughter to treat Fang Bai with the respect due to a mentor to foster goodwill for the Ye Family. That way, should the Ye Family ever face difficulties, Fang Bai would not stand idly by.
