Chapter 210 A knife hidden in a smile
Everyone was stunned and shocked by what they saw.
That's Shen Congwen!
Not only did they beat him up, they also forced him to kneel on the ground. They've gone completely mad!
Xu Ye ignored the shock of the onlookers and looked toward the gate.
At the restaurant entrance stood a young woman with stunning beauty and a perfect figure. She wore a black cheongsam, and her long, beautiful black hair was styled in a bun. She looked extremely angry.
"Hiss... President Shen is here!"
Someone shouted something, and instantly everyone's eyes fell on the woman.
"It really is General Manager Shen from Hongsheng Real Estate!"
"To humiliate President Shen's brother like this, and for President Shen to witness it with his own eyes, these people are finished, completely finished..."
Amidst the murmurs of onlookers, Shen Zhilan strode into the restaurant and headed straight for Xu Ye.
She looked furious, and behind her were the eight bodyguards she had met yesterday.
Seeing the group's aggressive demeanor, the onlookers started discussing it again.
"President Shen looks very angry."
"Nonsense, everyone in Jiangcheng knows that President Shen is famous for spoiling her younger brother. Now, not only has Young Master Shen been publicly humiliated, but he has also been forced to kneel down. How could President Shen not be angry?"
"The question is, how will President Shen retaliate against them next?"
"But this young man is clearly not someone to be trifled with. This matter probably won't be so easy to resolve, will it?"
Everyone heard the conversation between Xu Ye and Shen Congwen. Xu Ye acted extremely aggressively and was clearly not easy to deal with.
However, some people held a different opinion: "So what? This young man may indeed have some connections, but he is from out of town after all. How can he be compared to Hongsheng?"
"That's right, even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake, let alone Hongsheng, which is not a local snake, but rather a dragon in its own right!"
"This young man is doomed to die if he dares to challenge Hongsheng in Jiangcheng, he's definitely going to die..."
Shen Congwen naturally saw his sister as well, and immediately called out with a humiliated expression, "Sister..."
Without needing to say anything, his sister had already seen all the grievances he had suffered.
Shen Zhilan approached Shen Congwen with a gloomy expression, helped him up, and said, "It's alright, leave the rest to me."
After saying that, she turned to Xu Ye and said, "Kid, I haven't even held yesterday's matter against you yet, and today you beat up my brother. Do you really want to be my enemy, Shen Zhilan?"
Xu Ye scoffed: "That's quite interesting. Whether it was yesterday or today, you were the ones who attacked first. I was just passively retaliating, and that makes me your enemy?"
"If that's really the case, if you, Mr. Shen, are truly this domineering and forceful..."
At this point, his expression changed, and a powerful aura suddenly erupted from his body: "Then I will be your enemy, Shen Zhilan. What can you do about it?"
Everyone was shocked.
Putting aside Xu Ye's assertiveness, what did those two mean by what they said?
So this isn't the first time this guy from out of town has clashed with President Shen, and President Shen also suffered a loss yesterday?
No wonder he's so arrogant and confident. But the question is, who exactly is he?
Shen Zhilan was furious. Since she joined the Li family, who had ever dared to speak to her like that?
This guy is asking for death! He's practically asking for it!
Xu Ye completely ignored her anger. He merely glanced at her and continued coldly and calmly, "And I must say, you two really are siblings, both of you are stupid as if you were made from the same mold, and you talk too much nonsense."
The entire venue fell into complete silence.
After a long while, someone said incredulously, "This guy... he's really not crazy?"
"He dares to insult or even humiliate President Shen like that; he's absolutely courting death!"
"Isn't that right? Especially since he's from out of town, isn't that a bit too arrogant?"
"Just wait, he's dead meat. President Shen will definitely kill him!"
Everyone thought Xu Ye was doomed and would surely die.
However, the next moment, Shen Zhilan smiled and said, "You're right, thank you for reminding me."
"I have indeed become a bit arrogant over the years, and I have neglected to discipline my brother, to the point that we have both become somewhat conceited. I never expected that you would wake me up today. Thank you so much."
After speaking, he tilted his head and glanced at the bodyguard behind him.
The bodyguard understood and immediately stepped forward to hand over an invitation.
Xu Ye narrowed his eyes: "What does President Shen mean?"
Shen Zhilan smiled sweetly and said, "Young Master Xu has helped me so much, Zhilan should at least show some appreciation, shouldn't she?"
"I have a resort in the southern district. I'd like to invite Young Master Xu to stay there for a few days so I can properly thank you. I hope you won't refuse such a small favor."
The onlookers were stunned once again.
what's the situation?
It's one thing for President Shen not to avenge his brother, but he actually has to thank the other party?
Is this young man really that powerful?
Xu Ye saw through the other party's intention; they were preparing to personally test his abilities.
But he didn't care at all; instead, he simply accepted the invitation.
The other party wanted to find out his background, and he also wanted to take this opportunity to find out the other party's background as well.
Besides, things have escalated to this point tonight. If he doesn't answer, the other party will definitely come looking for trouble with him tonight. He still has to go rescue people tonight, so he doesn't have the time to deal with them.
"Since President Shen has extended such a warm invitation, I certainly won't refuse."
"Then I will personally wait for Young Master Xu at Red Leaf Manor tomorrow noon."
A barely perceptible glint of coldness flashed in Shen Zhilan's eyes as she turned to Shen Congwen and said, "Why aren't you apologizing to Young Master Xu and President Yang?"
Shen Congwen naturally guessed his sister's intention, and upon hearing this, he said to the two of them without any hesitation, "I'm sorry, I was wrong about what happened tonight, I hope you can forgive me."
Shen Zhilan then addressed the onlookers, saying, "I'm very sorry about what happened today. It was my good-for-nothing younger brother who disturbed everyone's meal."
"All expenses for everyone tonight will be put on my tab. Please forgive me."
"Mr. Yang, Mr. Xu, we won't disturb your meal any longer. Goodbye."
Xu Ye and Yang Ling exchanged a polite remark.
Shen Zhilan reminded Xu Ye again, telling him not to forget the invitation for tomorrow, then gave Xu Ye a meaningful look before turning around and leading everyone away quickly.
Only after they left did Yang Ling ask with some concern, "The invitation tomorrow... are you really going?"
Xu Ye understood her concerns, smiled, and looking towards the gate, replied seemingly out of the blue, "Sometimes, the roles of prey and hunter aren't fixed. Who is the prey and who is the hunter..."
"It's not certain until the very last moment!"
Yang Ling remained silent for a long while before softly saying, "Then you must be extra careful tomorrow no matter what."
Xu Ye smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
