Chapter 10: Chapter 10: He Just Pulled Out a Key...

Truth be told, Yu Chenghao hadn’t seen the video on Douyin. Ye Ling’s kick had left him with a fractured tailbone, and he’d only just been released from the hospital today.

If he had known, he probably would never have come to this Patek Square for the rest of his life. Oh, no, he probably would never go to *any* Patek Square in the entire country ever again!

This was too damn embarrassing.

"You?"

At that moment, Yu Chenghao saw Ye Ling as well. His eyes narrowed, a flicker of fury flashing within them.

However, after the beating he’d taken from Ye Ling, he didn’t dare charge over and start trouble again.

"Li Yuan, this is the punk who attacked me before. Beat him up for me," Yu Chenghao said coldly, turning to the man in black beside him.

"Young Master, that’s not exactly appropriate... The Master only instructed me to protect you."

Li Yuan frowned slightly and said with some hesitation.

The "Master" he spoke of was naturally Yu Chenghao’s father, Yu Tiancheng.

Unlike the wastrel Yu Chenghao, Yu Tiancheng’s Yu Group was one of the country’s top 500 corporations!

And he was the bodyguard Yu Chenghao’s father had specifically hired for him.

Yu Tiancheng had always doted on his son. Thus, despite knowing full well what kind of person his son was, he still assigned him a bodyguard after hearing he had been beaten up.

This Li Yuan was said to be a three-time Sanda champion in Xia Country!

"Aren’t you supposed to be some three-time Sanda champion? Are you scared of a punk like him?"

Hearing this, Yu Chenghao couldn’t help but frown.

"It’s not that I’m scared..."

"If you’re not scared, then make your move. I’ll take the heat for whatever happens."

But Yu Chenghao just waved his hand, cutting Li Yuan off directly.

Hearing this, Li Yuan couldn’t help but sigh.

If his father hadn’t hired him, he wouldn’t have bothered with such a spoiled brat.

’Kid, you can only blame your own bad luck.’

Li Yuan sighed internally, his gaze toward Ye Ling tinged with a hint of pity.

After all, Yu Chenghao was his employer, and he couldn’t defy his wishes.

"Kid, get up and apologize to Young Master Yu."

Li Yuan said, stepping in front of Ye Ling. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Young Master Yu?"

Ye Ling looked up at the man, raising an eyebrow slightly.

But before he could speak, Yu Chenghao suddenly stormed forward, saying impatiently, "What are you wasting time talking for? I told you to beat him up! Didn’t you understand me?"

"Oh, I was just wondering which ’Young Master Yu’ this was. So it’s the one who fractured his ass, is it?"

Ye Ling smiled faintly, his eyes scanning Yu Chenghao from head to toe.

A hint of mockery flickered in his gaze.

Yu Chenghao, of course, sensed this mockery, and he felt a blind rage surge within him once again.

Although Li Yuan was extremely annoyed with his idiot of an employer, he suppressed his anger and turned to Ye Ling. "It doesn’t matter who was right or wrong last time. Just get up, apologize to Young Master Yu, and this whole thing will be over."

"Li Yuan, who the hell do you think you are? My dad hired you to be my bodyguard, not to make decisions for me!"

However, to Li Yuan’s surprise, Yu Chenghao actually turned around and unleashed a torrent of abuse on him.

This time, Li Yuan’s expression turned completely foul.

He might be hired help, but even a man of clay has a temper, to say nothing of a three-time consecutive Sanda champion.

"Say one more word of this crap and I’m walking out!"

Li Yuan glared at Yu Chenghao.

In an instant, Yu Chenghao fell silent.

"Apologize, and this matter will be over."

Li Yuan looked at Ye Ling, his gaze now laced with impatience.

He had plenty of grievances with Yu Chenghao, but at the end of the day, he was the man’s bodyguard. The fact that this kid dared to repeatedly provoke his employer right in front of him made him even more irritated.

Ye Ling just smiled. He didn’t speak right away. Instead, he cut a piece of steak, placed it gently in his mouth, and chewed for a moment before slowly looking up and saying with a grin.

"I think you’ve gotten something wrong. When did I ever say I was going to apologize?"

Ye Ling’s smile was brilliant.

In Yu Chenghao’s eyes, this was undoubtedly an act of courting death.

A thrill of delight shot through Yu Chenghao.

While he could order Li Yuan around, his father was the one who’d actually hired him, so he couldn’t completely command him, as had just been demonstrated.

But now, Ye Ling was actively provoking him...

’He brought this on himself.’

Watching Li Yuan’s expression darken, Yu Chenghao couldn’t help but feel smug.

Who was Li Yuan?

A three-time Sanda champion!

Even if Ye Ling had a few years of training, could he possibly be a match for Li Yuan?

Li Yuan’s gaze was grim. He stared at Ye Ling for a long moment before finally spitting out two words: "Very good."

The moment the word ’good’ left his lips, the rage in his heart erupted completely.

Li Yuan’s large hand shot out, reaching to grab Ye Ling’s shoulder.

Compared to Li Yuan’s thick, powerful shoulder, Ye Ling’s looked like a calf next to a thigh—they weren’t even in the same league.

However, just as Li Yuan’s hand was about to touch Ye Ling’s shoulder, Ye Ling slowly took out a car key.

At that moment.

Li Yuan’s movement froze.

He remained in his reaching posture, his hand frozen in mid-air!

He clearly recognized that car key!

A Pagani!

As if he’d just remembered something, Li Yuan’s pupils contracted violently!

In that same instant, his forehead was covered in a cold sweat!

"Sir, I, Li Yuan, have been offensive. I will visit you on another day to formally apologize."

Li Yuan bowed respectfully to Ye Ling, then, without the slightest hesitation, turned and started dragging Yu Chenghao away.

Li Yuan’s sudden reversal left Yu Chenghao completely dumbfounded.

"Li Yuan, what the hell are you doing?"

Yu Chenghao couldn’t help but roar in frustration.

He had come here to give Ye Ling trouble, hadn’t he?

And after Ye Ling showed him up like that, Li Yuan was just going to turn tail and run?

"Shut up, you idiot."

Li Yuan turned and roared at him, then unceremoniously dragged him out of the upscale restaurant.

He was inwardly cursing this moronic young master. ’This idiot almost got me killed!’

"Young Master Yu, I advise you to never cause trouble for that man again."

Once outside, Li Yuan took a deep breath, then spoke, his gaze grave.

"What are you talking about?"

Yu Chenghao frowned, his face full of impatience. "And another thing, I’m definitely telling my father about this!"

"It would be useless to tell your father. In fact, I believe if it were your father in this situation, he would support my actions!"

Li Yuan’s eyes were heavy. "Did you see the car key that man took out?"

"It’s just for a sports car, isn’t it?"

Yu Chenghao was taken aback for a second before replying nonchalantly.

He had seen Ye Ling pull out a car key, but it wasn’t like he didn’t own a sports car himself.

"That wasn’t just any sports car—it was a Pagani! And if I’m not mistaken, it was for a Pagani Zonda R, one of only two in the entire country right now!"
