Chapter 91 - 90: Bauhinia Energy (Part 1)

"A misunderstanding?"

Upon hearing this, a brilliant smile stretched across Ye Ling’s lips.

In the next moment, he strode forward, seized the other man’s shoulder blade, and forced it down. Instantly, the third young master of the esteemed Jiang Family was forced to his knees!

Furthermore, under the force of Ye Ling’s grip, the man’s shoulder blade was nearly crushed out of shape.

Jiang Feiyun’s face turned deathly pale. Kneeling on the ground, his entire body trembled, and he was on the verge of fainting from the pain.

God only knew how much power was behind Ye Ling’s grip. All Jiang Feiyun felt was a massive boulder slamming down on him.

’Is this really human strength?’

The two bodyguards nearby also had looks of horror in their eyes. Although it didn’t look good to just stand by and watch their master get beaten, they genuinely didn’t dare to step forward.

’If they went up there, wouldn’t they just be human punching bags for Ye Ling?’

"This, too, is a misunderstanding."

Ye Ling glanced coldly at Jiang Feiyun, throwing the man’s own words back at him.

Ye Ling had no intention of letting this guy off easy. If he hadn’t arrived in time, Luo Yue’s fate would have been absolutely unimaginable.

’How could a simple "misunderstanding" possibly cover it?’

A look of humiliation immediately appeared on Jiang Feiyun’s face, but he didn’t dare show it. He lowered his head, his fists clenching involuntarily.

He was from the capital, a young master of the Jiang Family. When had he ever been treated like this?

For him, today was a day of absolute humiliation!

If he had the choice, he would never have come to Modu!

"From this day forward, I don’t want to see you in Modu again. Do you understand me?" Ye Ling said, looking at Jiang Feiyun with an icy glint in his eyes.

"Un-understood."

The pain radiating from his shoulder made Jiang Feiyun’s voice tremble uncontrollably.

At this moment, his status as the Jiang Family’s third young master, his honor—Jiang Feiyun forgot it all. He only knew that the young man before him, Ye Ling, was utterly terrifying.

"Hurry up and take your young master to the hospital. Otherwise, that shoulder is probably going to be useless."

Ye Ling glanced at the two bodyguards collapsed on the ground nearby, then took Luo Yue by the hand and turned to walk out of the stairwell.

「Back in the restaurant.」

"Did something happen?"

Ning Ruoxi asked with concern, noticing that Luo Yue’s expression was a little off.

"I took care of a piece of trash."

Ye Ling shrugged and briefly explained what had just happened.

Upon hearing the story, a flicker of anger appeared on Ning Ruoxi’s face. "That Jiang Feiyun went way too far!"

"It’s okay. Luckily, my master arrived in time."

Luo Yue stuck out her tongue playfully, but her eyes still showed a trace of lingering fear.

Clearly, she hadn’t expected Jiang Feiyun to be so brazen as to make a move on her so directly!

...

After returning home, Ye Ling gave Wei Kun a call.

"President Wei, I’d like to ask you about the Jiang Family," Ye Ling asked.

A few days ago, he had scammed Jiang Feiyun out of 150 million, and today he’d beaten the man half to death. It was safe to say they had become true enemies.

And based on his understanding of these rich brats, Jiang Feiyun wasn’t the type to let this go.

As for this potential enemy, Ye Ling naturally needed to understand him better in advance. After all, there was a saying: forewarned is forearmed.

Wei Kun was a sharp man. Recalling the events of the recent entrepreneurs’ conference, he had already pieced together most of the story.

"Chairman Ye, you’re too kind. But... regarding the Jiang Family, I actually don’t know that much. As one of the eight great families of the capital, the Jiang Family doesn’t have many representatives in the political sphere, so they’re considered relatively weak compared to the other major families... I suggest Young Master Ye look into a company called Bauhinia Energy," Wei Kun said after a moment of thought.

"Bauhinia Energy?"

Hearing this, a glint flashed in Ye Ling’s eyes.

"Yes. It’s a new energy company that’s secretly invested in and controlled by the Jiang Family. Currently, seventy to eighty percent of the Jiang Family’s income comes from Bauhinia Energy."

Wei Kun paused for a moment before adding, "I think, for this matter, you might want to ask Chairman Ning. He probably knows more."

"Thank you, President Wei."

With that said, Ye Ling hung up the phone and began to think.

"New energy" had become a major buzzword recently. Xia Country had been developing at a breakneck pace in recent years, consuming countless resources in the process, and the energy deficit had only been growing larger.

To solve the energy problem—an issue faced by nearly every country in the world—the Xia Country government placed great importance on it, encouraging major corporations to research new energy technologies.

However, not many companies could even get a foot in the door of the new energy sector, as it involved core technologies.

And as a new energy enterprise, the potential of Bauhinia Energy Group was self-evident!

"Troublemaker, are you in some kind of trouble?"

Ning Ruoxi walked over to Ye Ling’s side, her voice laced with worry.

Although Ye Ling was acting relaxed, the fact that he had beaten up Jiang Feiyun was undoubtedly a big deal.

"Ruoruo, if you have time, could you help me ask your father about Bauhinia Energy?" Ye Ling said.

"Bauhinia Energy? Okay, I will."

Hearing this, Ning Ruoxi nodded, committing the name to memory.

After that, Ye Ling didn’t dwell on the matter of the Jiang Family any further.

For the short term, at least, Jiang Feiyun probably wouldn’t be in any state to cause him trouble.

After all, given his injuries, he would likely be stuck in a hospital bed for a few months at least.

"Is Luo Yue alright?"

Ye Ling asked, a new worry occurring to him.

After all, tomorrow was the first day of registration at Modu University.

For something like this to happen right now... He was genuinely afraid that today’s events might leave her with some psychological trauma, which would be a real problem.

"Her? She’s acting like nothing even happened."

Ning Ruoxi couldn’t help but give a wry smile.

You had to admit, that girl Luo Yue was unbelievably carefree. The moment she got home, it was as if she’d completely forgotten what happened, and she just holed up in her room to binge-watch dramas.

"That’s good."

Ye Ling nodded.

As long as she was okay, that was the best possible outcome.
