In truth, Ning Ruoxi was sometimes quite envious of a girl like Luo Yue.
To maintain her figure, Ning Ruoxi generally didnāt dare to eat such high-calorie foods. Luo Yue, however, was different. She ate practically all day and especially loved junk food.
And despite all that eating... the key was that the girlās legs were still just as slender and her skin was flawless. The only drawback? Maybe she was a little lacking up top?
In the time it took Luo Yue to go to the restroom, all the dishes had been served.
"Whatās taking her so long? Go and check on her."
Ning Ruoxi glanced at the time, her brow furrowing, and then said to Ye Ling.
"Okay."
Ye Ling nodded, getting up and heading in the direction Luo Yue had gone.
The restaurant didnāt have its own restroom; the public ones were outside. As he passed a stairwell, Ye Ling suddenly heard Luo Yueās voice.
"Who are you... Let me go..."
Luo Yueās voice was tinged with the sound of crying.
Ye Ling recognized Luo Yueās voice in an instant, and his expression immediately turned cold.
The restrooms at Shanghai Global Harbor were all rather secluded, and behind them was an emergency stairwell, so few people ever came to this area.
Ye Ling kicked the half-closed door wide open and charged in without a second thought.
Inside the stairwell were two men in black suits and a young man dressed head-to-toe in designer brands. The two men in suits were currently gripping Luo Yue by the shoulders.
"Let her go."
Ye Ling looked at the young man in designer clothes. He seemed vaguely familiar, but there was no time to think about who it might be, so he simply spoke in a cold voice.
The two men in black clearly hadnāt expected anyone to barge in, and they were visibly startled.
"Ye Ling?"
It was the young man in designer clothes who turned his head. The moment he saw Ye Ling, he froze, his actions pausing for a moment.
Luo Yue immediately shoved their hands away and ducked behind Ye Ling.
"Itās all right, donāt be afraid. Iām here now."
Ye Ling patted Luo Yueās head reassuringly, then looked toward the young man a short distance away, his gaze turning icy. "I never thought the great Young Master Jiang from the capital would stoop to bullying a girl in broad daylight."
Ye Ling was no stranger to this person. It was none other than Jiang Feiyun, the man heād met at the entrepreneursā annual conference!
"I canāt believe itās you."
A flash of surprise crossed Jiang Feiyunās face when he saw Ye Ling. "Well, well, kid. I was just thinking about looking for you, and you delivered yourself right to my doorstep! Looks like you know this little thing, do you?"
As he spoke, Jiang Feiyunās gaze fell upon Luo Yue.
"L-last time... he was the one who was messing with me..."
Luo Yue whispered, huddled against Ye Ling.
"All right. Iāll get even for you."
Upon hearing this, Ye Lingās gaze snapped back to Jiang Feiyun.
"Get even? You?"
Jiang Feiyun gave a casual wave, and the two men in suits immediately shut the door to the emergency stairwell.
"Now, do you think you can still teach me a lesson?"
At that moment, Jiang Feiyun felt absolutely incredible.
He had been in Modu for less than two weeks, yet he had already suffered two humiliating setbacks in a row.
The first was at the entrepreneursā annual conference, where Ye Ling had conned him out of a hundred and fifty million. The second was when this little brat, Luo Yue, had run into him!
And today, he had managed to run into both of them at once.
Jiang Feiyun felt like today was his lucky day!
The two men in black suits stepped forward, their eyes filled with malice as they looked at Ye Ling.
Ye Lingās sudden appearance had spoiled their fun, which annoyed them greatly. And now, seeing the look on their bossās face, it was clear he and Ye Ling were mortal enemies...
No doubt about it, they could already picture the scene of Ye Ling on his knees, begging for mercy!
"You picked a good spot."
Ye Ling glanced around. Since the door to the emergency stairwell was completely shut, no one outside would be able to notice what was happening unless they deliberately came over.
"Hm?"
Hearing Ye Lingās words, Jiang Feiyun and his two bodyguards were all stunned for a moment.
Clearly, they couldnāt quite process why Ye Ling would say such a thing.
After all, in their view, Ye Ling should have been the one on his knees begging for mercy!
WHOOSH!
But Ye Ling gave them no time to react. He took a single step, and his entire body shot forward like a cheetah on the plains locking onto its prey!
Having undergone a tenfold enhancement to his constitution, Ye Lingās speed had reached a terrifying level. The others only saw his figure blur for an instant before he vanished, leaving only an afterimage in his place!
Before the two bodyguards in black could even process what was happening, Ye Ling appeared before them, his iron fist lashing out with incredible speed.
BAM!
Carrying a terrifying amount of force, Ye Lingās fist landed squarely on one of the men.
Both bodyguards in black were around six-foot-one, a good half a head taller than Ye Ling, but there was no telling how much power was packed into that one punch!
The moment the punch landed, one of the bodyguards was sent flying, slamming hard against the wall behind him!
"Holy shit!"
The other bodyguard snapped to his senses, glanced at his partner on the ground, then back at Ye Ling, who was now right in front of him. A look of terror flashed in his eyes.
A mocking glint appeared in Ye Lingās eyes. He merely began to raise a fist, and the bodyguard was so frightened he fell straight to the ground!
"Pathetic. And you call yourself a bodyguard."
Ye Ling sneered, kicking the man aside. Then, his gaze fell upon Jiang Feiyun in the back.
Just a moment ago, Jiang Feiyun had been thinking about how he was going to make Ye Ling pay to satisfy his own hatred. And yet, in the blink of an eye, both of his bodyguards had been beaten to the ground by Ye Ling!?
How was this possible!
"Young Master Jiang, do you have anything else youād like to say?"
Ye Ling looked at Jiang Feiyun, a brilliant smile spreading across his face. To Jiang Feiyun, however, that smile was no different from a demonās.
It was too damn terrifying!
The flash of Ye Lingās pearly white teeth as he smiled nearly made him piss his pants in fear!
"Th-this is all a misunderstanding. A misunderstanding, Young Master Ye..."
Jiang Feiyun wanted to cry but couldnāt shed a tear. If he had known Ye Ling was this skilled a fighter, he never would have provoked this guy, no matter what.
More importantly, he hadnāt known that Luo Yue actually knew Ye Ling... āBut why the hell is every beautiful woman somehow connected to this guy?ā
