Chapter 412: I Ask You, Are You Satisfied?

“Good, very good! I never expected all of you to be a bunch of ungrateful wolves!”

Ye Tao repeated the word ‘good’ three times, his fists clenched tightly as blue veins popped, and his cold gaze swept across the crowd, speaking each word with a biting chill.

The crowd frowned upon hearing this, feeling that Ye Tao had changed too much—like a dog biting Lu Dongbin, unable to recognize a good person’s heart.

They had advised Ye Tao, partly to curry favor with Xu Shaochen, but also to help him stop his self-destructive behavior.

However, not only did Ye Tao not appreciate their intentions, but he also resented them even more, rushing down the path of self-destruction.

“Xu Shaochen! If you don’t give me an explanation today, don’t think you can leave here intact!”

Ye Tao looked at Xu Shaochen, speaking with resolve.

“Thud, thud, thud…”

As his voice fell, a series of hurried footsteps approached, and four tall bodyguards came over, blocking Xu Shaochen’s way.

Long Yi and Long Er immediately tensed their muscles, stepping half a foot forward, ready to explode into action at any moment.

The crowd shook their heads when they saw this, then simultaneously took a few steps back to avoid being involved.

“It seems Young Master Ye is even more foolish than I thought.”

Huang Wenqiang smiled as he looked at Tang Siyu and Xie Tianlin, who remained calm and silent.

Tang Siyu and Xie Tianlin both wore sullen expressions, saying nothing.

“Don’t kill them.”

Xu Shaochen, with his back to Long Yi and Long Er, said calmly.

Then he held Mei Liangying and walked over to a nearby sofa, not sparing Ye Tao a single glance the entire time.

“Stop him!”

Ye Tao shouted angrily; the greatest humiliation in the world is being ignored.

And now, Xu Shaochen was ignoring him.

Upon hearing the command, the bodyguards immediately tried to stop Xu Shaochen.

However, Long Yi and Long Er were faster, sliding forward with their right feet to block the group, then launching into action simultaneously.

Both of them were top-tier mercenaries who had fought across battlefields and jungles, and their combat skills were honed to kill.

While Ye Tao’s bodyguards were numerous, they were trained by local private security companies and were no match for Long Yi and Long Er.

In less than five minutes,

the four bodyguards were lying on the ground, wailing in pain.

“Ahhh, my hand, my hand!”

“My leg is broken!”

Although Xu Shaochen had instructed them not to kill, he hadn’t forbidden them from crippling.

Sss—

Upon witnessing this, the crowd collectively gasped.

Was it that Long Yi and Long Er were too strong, or that Ye Tao’s bodyguards were too weak? “Useless! You’re all useless! My Ye family spends so much money on you each year, we might as well raise pigs!”

After overcoming his initial shock, Ye Tao flew into a rage, cursing the four bodyguards lying on the ground.

“Invite Young Master Ye over here. I believe he’s now ready to have a calm chat with me.”

Not far away, Xu Shaochen held Mei Liangying in his arms, gently stroking her black-stockinged legs beneath her skirt, his face adorned with a smile, speaking in a calm tone.

Mei Liangying’s cheeks flushed slightly, as she gritted her teeth internally, but she had to preserve Xu Shaochen’s dignity in front of everyone.

So not only did she not resist, she even cooperated by feeding Xu Shaochen wine, fruits, and snacks as he continued to touch her leg.

The Chairman of Qianyin Entertainment was now actually pandering to a man like this.

Mei Liangying was very beautiful. Her slightly flushed face made her even more stunning and enchanting, and her long legs, which Xu Shaochen was touching, were perfectly alluring.

Yet no one in the room dared to look at her directly, because she was Xu Shaochen’s woman.

“Young Master Ye, please.”

Long Yi’s tone was stiff as he addressed Ye Tao.

Ye Tao’s expression flickered as he walked over to Xu Shaochen, coldly saying: “What do you want?”

“I think… I don’t like having to look up when talking to people.”

Xu Shaochen didn’t even raise his head, saying this as he caught an orange that Mei Liangying handed him in his mouth.

Before Ye Tao could react, Long Yi and Long Er each kicked behind his knees.

“Ah!”

Ye Tao screamed as he fell to his knees with a thud in front of Xu Shaochen.

“Unbelievable!”

Just as he tried to stand, Long Yi and Long Er pinned him down by the shoulders, making it impossible for him to move.

“Xu Shaochen, you can kill me, but you can’t humiliate me! Don’t push me too far!”

Ye Tao glared upwards at Xu Shaochen, squeezing out the words from between his clenched teeth.

“Teach him how he should be speaking to me.”

Xu Shaochen frowned slightly, waving his hand impatiently.

“Slap!”

Long Yi and Long Er unleashed a flurry of slaps on Ye Tao’s face, leaving him bruised and swollen in just moments.

“Gulp—”

Not far away, Ma Chengwu gulped nervously as he searched for Ye Yang’s figure, but not finding him, he immediately tried to sneak out.

“Whichever leg you stepped out with first, I’ll break that leg.”

Xu Shaochen’s voice was icy as he spoke to Ma Chengwu.

Beads of cold sweat dripped from Ma Chengwu’s forehead, and the foot he had lifted didn’t dare to step forward for a long time. Then…

“Thud!”

“Mr. Xu, I was wrong, I was really wrong. Please, let me go. Please, let me go free like a fart. I swear I won’t do it again! I swear!”

Ma Chengwu kneeled on the ground, crawling to Xu Shaochen, slapping his own face as he cried miserably.

But Xu Shaochen didn’t give him a single glance, just waved his hand to stop Long Yi and Long Er. Then he looked at Ye Tao and said: “Now do you know how to speak to me?”

Ye Tao glared angrily, but he didn’t dare to question him as he had done before. He remained silent.

The pain and swelling on his face constantly reminded him.

“Isn’t it good to stay alive? Why are you so eager to die? Ye Tao of Songshan, such a big name. But I’m sorry, until tonight, I had never even heard of you.”

“You want an explanation from me? What’s your worth? Is this explanation satisfying?”

Xu Shaochen looked at Ye Tao with an expressionless face, his tone calm and indifferent.

Ye Tao remained silent, but inside, he was burning with rage. It was the first time he had suffered such a humiliation, one he would never forget.

“Bang!”

Xu Shaochen threw his wine glass straight at Ye Tao’s face, coldly asking: “I ask you, are you satisfied?”

“Young Master Xu…”

Xie Tianlin wanted to intervene and plead for Ye Tao.

“If I didn’t ask you to speak, then shut up!”

But before he could finish his words, Xu Shaochen cut him off with a cold glance.

Xie Tianlin’s expression stiffened, and although he hesitated several times, he eventually stepped back without saying another word.

“What, are you deaf, or do you look down on me so much that you don’t even want to talk to me? I asked you, are you satisfied?”

Xu Shaochen stood up, looking down at Ye Tao with a freezing, indifferent gaze, as if looking at an ant.

Ye Tao’s heart trembled violently, feeling fear for the first time towards Xu Shaochen. He pressed his dry lips together and, with a hoarse voice, said:

“Sa… satisfied.”
