Chapter 62: Chapter 62: Not Even the Jade Emperor Can Save Them? I Don’t Think So.

Xiao Yufei was scared to death when she saw this.

She quickly stepped in front of Ye Feng and cried out urgently to the man, "Young Master Li, for my sake, please spare him."

A man in a jacket sneered at Xiao Yufei. "For your sake? Who the hell do you think you are? He beat Young Master Pan like that—he’s dead meat. If you dare get in the way again, I’ll fucking shoot you too."

Xiao Yufei’s face went pale with fright.

At that moment, Pan Haofeng, who was slumped on the floor, looked at Xiao Yufei and Ye Feng and burst into wild laughter. "Still acting so arrogant, are you? Let’s see you try being arrogant now!

Do you know who he is? Let me tell you, he’s Li Ran, the son of Police Chief Li Jin! If he shoots you dead today, you’ll have died for nothing, understand?

You motherfucker, you actually dared to hit me? You’re courting death!

Xiao Yufei, two demands. One, chop off both his arms for me. Two, you’re going to serve me well, right in front of him. If you can’t do even one of these things, you both die. This is the price you pay for daring to provoke me..."

The moment his words fell, Ye Feng stomped on his arm. A sickening CRUNCH of breaking bones echoed, and Pan Haofeng let out a bloodcurdling scream like a pig being slaughtered.

Then, Ye Feng looked down at him and asked calmly, "Like this?"

Xiao Yufei was so scared she was about to cry. She looked at Ye Feng and pleaded, "Ye Feng, don’t be reckless! They’ll never let you go if you do this."

Ye Feng turned to Xiao Yufei and declared resolutely, "You are my wife now. It’s my duty to protect you. I would even risk my life, and I wouldn’t hesitate."

Staring at Ye Feng, the rims of Xiao Yufei’s eyes instantly reddened.

She was truly moved.

Then, Ye Feng added nonchalantly, "Besides, they can’t hurt me."

With that, he pulled Xiao Yufei behind him.

’I’m dying of anxiety here!’ Xiao Yufei thought. ’The man is pointing a gun at you, and you’re still bragging? What’s the use of that? Can you dodge a bullet?’

At that moment, Pan Haofeng roared like a madman, "Young Master Li, shoot them! Kill them for me! Even if God himself came down today, he couldn’t save them! He couldn’t..."

Li Ran snorted coldly, cocked the hammer, and prepared to pull the trigger on Ye Feng.

Xiao Yufei screamed and lunged forward to shield Ye Feng, but he held her back firmly, his own body instantly tensing.

Just as he was about to make his move, someone rushed in and slapped Li Ran hard across the face. An ice-cold voice followed, "You dare point a gun at Brother Ye? You must have a death wish."

"You dare hit me? You’re fucking looking to die..." Li Ran flew into a rage, whirling around to curse at the newcomer. But halfway through his sentence, his expression changed drastically.

The newcomer was none other than Yuan Hao, the son of Jiangcheng’s top figure, Yuan Long.

He could act high and mighty in front of others, but before Yuan Hao, he was less than nothing. He quickly forced a smile and greeted him, "Brother Yuan, what brings you here?"

But Yuan Hao didn’t even spare him a glance. He walked straight to Ye Feng and said respectfully, "Hello, Brother Ye!"

Brother Ye?

This country bumpkin was Yuan Hao’s senior?

The crowd stared at Ye Feng, completely dumbfounded.

They knew they had messed with the wrong person today.

Li Ran scurried over, a fawning smile on his face as he looked at Ye Feng. "Oh, so you’re brothers with Young Master Yuan! Well, look at this! This is a classic case of the flood washing over the Dragon King’s temple—family failing to recognize family! Brother Ye, I’d like to apologize for my behavior just now..."

The moment he finished speaking, Yuan Hao whirled around and said coldly to Li Ran, "You pointed a gun at Brother Ye, and you think a single sentence is enough to turn the page? Do you think that’s possible?

Impossible!

Li Ran, you dared to carry a gun illegally. I will report this to the Disciplinary Bureau. I’ll have them investigate where you got the authority—and who gave it to you!"

"Don’t!" Hearing this, Li Ran was scared out of his wits. He had secretly taken his father’s gun. If the Disciplinary Bureau really got involved, it wouldn’t just be him in trouble—even his father wouldn’t be able to stop the fallout.

He looked at Yuan Hao and pleaded pitifully, but Yuan Hao just said coldly, "Keep pestering me, and I’ll report this directly to my father. Now, get lost."

Li Ran’s face was ashen. Not daring to say another word, he scurried away with his tail between his legs.

The men at the door, seeing that things had gone south, also quietly slipped away.

Yuan Hao walked over to Pan Haofeng, stared at him, and snorted. "What were you saying earlier? That even God himself couldn’t save them? Let me ask you: who gave you that confidence? Who gave you the nerve?"

Pan Haofeng was also afraid of Yuan Hao. Hearing his accusatory tone, Pan Haofeng’s expression changed. He looked at Yuan Hao with a forced smile and said, "Young Master Yuan, this is all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding..."

Yuan Hao sneered, "A misunderstanding? You really think I don’t know what happened? I saw everything perfectly clearly. Pan Haofeng, I’m warning you: if you ever dare to get any ideas about President Xiao again, I won’t let you off. Now get out!"

Pan Haofeng struggled to his feet and staggered toward the exit. At the doorway, he suddenly turned and shot Ye Feng a venomous glare before finally leaving.

Xiao Yufei saw that look in Pan Haofeng’s eyes, and her heart clenched. She looked at Ye Feng, her voice trembling slightly as she said, "Ye Feng, it’s obvious Pan Haofeng will hold a grudge. He’s definitely not going to let this go. What are we going to do?"

Before she could finish, Yuan Hao, who was standing nearby, chuckled and said to her, "Sister-in-law, don’t you worry. If Pan Haofeng dares to touch a single hair on Brother Ye’s head, I’ll never let him get away with it. You can rest assured."

Xiao Yufei’s eyes lit up. ’How could I have forgotten about Yuan Hao?’

Yuan Hao turned back to Ye Feng with a smile. "Brother Ye, I’m having drinks with a few friends in the private room next door. Why don’t you come over? I can introduce you."

But Ye Feng shook his head. "No, I’m not a fan of crowds."

Only then did Yuan Hao take his leave.

Ye Feng looked at Xiao Yufei. "Still want to eat?"

Xiao Yufei shook her head. After all the chaos, she had completely lost her appetite. She followed Ye Feng and walked out.

Xiao Yufei looked at Ye Feng and asked, puzzled, "Ye Feng, how do you know Yuan Hao? Why would he stand up for you like that?"

Ye Feng replied nonchalantly, "I saved his grandfather."

It dawned on Xiao Yufei instantly. ’Oh right, I forgot about that.’

The two returned home. Xiao Yufei looked at Ye Feng and said sincerely, "Ye Feng, thank you. For everything today."

Ye Feng replied lazily, "Cut the empty words. Just give me back the Jade Pendant sooner rather than later. That would be more practical than anything else." With that, he flopped directly onto the bed.

"You..." Xiao Yufei was fuming. In that moment, a heavy sense of defeat washed over her. ’I’m a great beauty, and I’m still not as attractive as a Jade Pendant?’

She looked at Ye Feng, and as she recalled the times he had helped her, her heart softened once again.

’The man I’m waiting for is nowhere in sight, and it’s so hard for a helpless woman like me to get by in this world,’ she thought. ’Besides, Ye Feng and I have already shared a bed. He’s even seen my entire body. You could say that, aside from that one thing, our relationship is practically the same as a married couple’s.’

At this thought, she bit her red lip, looked at Ye Feng, and said impulsively, "Ye Feng, let’s stop torturing each other. Let’s just accept one another and try to make a life together!"

But Ye Feng’s next words nearly made Xiao Yufei explode with rage.
