Chapter 1184: Chapter 1184: Ye Feiâs Privileges
Seeing his adorable fiancĂ©eâs tear-stained face and swollen eyes, and noticing his sexy and charming mother-in-lawâs haggard and self-reproachful expression, Ye Fei couldnât help but feel a pang of heartache.
He quickly stepped forward, embraced Lin Ling, and gave Xiao Han Yue a reassuring glance.
It wasnât that he didnât want to hold both of these stunningly beautiful women in his arms; it was just impossible. After all, they werenât at home.
The staff member who had brought him here hadnât left yet, and who knew if this place had surveillance cameras or not.
âFoolish girl, why are you crying like that?â Ye Fei said in the most relaxed tone he could muster after hugging Lin Ling.
âIâm sorry!â Lin Ling apologized again, then cried, âItâs all my fault. I didnât listen to Mom, and now Iâve caused this trouble for you.â
Ye Fei sat down on a chair with Lin Ling in his arms and patted her little bottom, continuing to smile and ask, âWhat trouble have I gotten into? Look at me. Iâm perfectly fine. Not a single hair is out of place.â
âBut youâre in the detention center now. When you go to court the day after tomorrow, you might be sentenced and end up in jail. If only I had listened to Mom and observed Sister Gu⊠that bad woman Gu Yanping more carefully, none of this would have happened,â Lin Ling said reproachfully, instinctively wanting to call her âSister Guâ but quickly changing it to âthat bad womanâ when she remembered how despicable she was.
Xiao Han Yue also chimed in, âThis is also my fault. I wasnât vigilant enough. Even if we win the lawsuit, it will still affect your reputation. What will people think of you?â
âWhat will they think of me? Theyâll think more highly of me,â Ye Fei laughed heartily. âHave you forgotten my identity? Iâm the head of a gang. If I havenât even been to jail, Iâd be embarrassed to talk to other gang leaders.â
Saying this, Ye Fei glanced at the staff member, who was perceptive enough to immediately turn around and leave the room, even closing the door behind him.
Once the man had left, Ye Fei continued, âSo, this whole thing is no loss to me. I should thank you both. It gave me the chance to enjoy the company of an incredibly beautiful woman.â
Hearing Ye Feiâs words, Xiao Han Yue was taken aback for a moment, then covered her mouth and giggled. Her self-reproach completely vanished.
As Ye Fei had said, this incident wasnât a big deal for him. Even if he lost the case and was sentenced the day after tomorrow, so what? It would just add another jail term to his name.
His life would go on as usual, and at most, he would avoid appearing in public, which would give him more time to spend with them.
Xiao Han Yue had let go of her worries, but Lin Ling still couldnât get over it.
Although she was a few months younger than Ye Yunqi, Lin Ling had always been more mature and sensible. She had a strong sense of self, which was why she had initially tried to motivate Ye Fei by deliberately distancing herself from him.
But the more mature she was, the more she felt confused. Ever since Ye Fei had become powerful, she felt like she couldnât help him with anything, and now she had even caused him trouble. This made her feel cornered.
For Lin Lingâs situation, it would be easy for Ye Fei to comfort her, but there was a prerequisite: it had to be in bed, which was not possible at the moment.
So he subtly gave his sexy and gorgeous mother-in-law a meaningful look, signaling her to take her daughter back home first, and he would come to them later.
After the mother and daughter left, Ye Fei directly approached the warden of the detention center and simply told him that he needed to leave first to take care of some matters.
Surprisingly, the warden agreed without any hesitation, apparently having already received hints or even explicit instructions. Otherwise, how could a mere warden have such authority?
Being able to move freely inside the detention center and having the trial set for just two days later were all special favors granted to Ye Fei.
He felt somewhat helpless about this, but there was nothing he could do.
The world was like this: power and influence equaled privileges.
Once you had the strength, you had everything. Even gang leaders could present themselves as legitimate businessmen, and some could even become members of the Peopleâs Congress.
Ye Fei had reached another level; he didnât even need to pretend. He openly identified as the head of a criminal organization, and he still had all the privileges, with no one daring to say anything.
After a moment of reflection, Ye Fei put this issue aside. The world was inherently like this. No matter how much people tried to sugarcoat it, they couldnât change the rule of âsurvival of the fittest.â
Leaving the detention center, Ye Fei didnât head straight to Lin Lingâs house. Instead, he found a teahouse and sat down, beginning to send private messages to his women one by one.
Apart from his family and Lin Lingâs mother and daughter, no one else knew about this incident yet. Ye Fei had to inform and reassure them; otherwise, when the trial started and everyone found out, it might cause some chaos.
Although Ye Fei had explained the situation clearly, including the reasons why Gu Yanping was targeting him and his decision, the women were still very agitated after learning about it.
The more impulsive ones, like Tang Rou, Song Ci, and Li Ruonan, wanted to come and see Ye Fei immediately. It took Ye Fei a great deal of effort to calm them down.
This was also why Ye Fei didnât discuss it in the group chat. It was manageable when just one person was impulsive, but if they got together and encouraged each other, Song Ci and the others might impulsively go and kill Gu Yanping.
So, having many women was both a joy and sometimes a hassle. However, Ye Fei, being naturally affectionate, didnât see it as a problem at all. Instead, he found it very fulfilling and happy.
By the time he had finally reassured all the women, it was already past five in the afternoon, and it was almost dark. Ye Fei then hailed a taxi and went to Lin Lingâs house.
Upon entering, Ye Fei saw Xiao Han Yue alone in the living room watching TV, but there was no sign of Lin Ling. He walked up to her, sat down beside her, and while hugging his beautiful and sexy mother-in-law, asked, âWhy are you here alone? Whereâs Ling?â
âSheâs still in the room, sulking at herself,â Xiao Han Yue said, comfortably nestled in her son-in-lawâs embrace, with a hint of helplessness.
Her daughter had gotten herself into a rut, and as her mother, she couldnât persuade her.
She had to place her hopes on her son-in-law, the man she deeply loved and who was also dearly attached to by her daughter, even though she was somewhat reluctant about it.
