Chapter 20 - Chapter 20: You're Truly Lawless (5/10)

Xu Mu looked at Meng Wanyue and immediately said, "South District Commercial City, hurry."

Meng Wanyue nodded. From their previous conversation, she could tell something had happened on the other end of the phone.

She pulled the electronic handbrake with one hand and sharply turned the steering wheel.

The car drifted in her hands, successfully making a U-turn. She floored the accelerator, and the car shot out.

"Damn it!"

Xu Mu cursed under his breath, then looked at Meng Wanyue, "Don't you know how to drive?"

Meng Wanyue said nothing, continuing to stare straight ahead.

She felt that since she had already exposed herself, there was no need to pretend anymore.

Third floor of the Commercial City.

A group of people surrounded Ye Tong.

After these people closed in, Ye Tong first pushed Ye Yu away.

She was gentle by nature but not weak.

Just like before, whenever Xu Mu tried to hit Ye Yu, she would always choose to stand in front.

"What do you want?"

Ye Tong was wearing a simple dress today, her hair tied back, revealing delicate features.

Even in the simplest clothes, her dignified demeanor couldn't be hidden.

"What do we want?"

A blonde man in a branded suit walked out from the crowd, "You must be Ye Tong of the Ye family, right?"

"That's me."

Ye Tong was full of vigilance, "What's wrong?"

"What's wrong? Our family invested tens of millions in your Ye family back then. Less than a month later, you went bankrupt. Do you really think our family's money grows on trees?"

The blonde carefully scrutinized Ye Tong, a cold smile appearing on his face, "Tell me, how are you going to compensate me?"

"Who are you?"

Ye Tong asked, looking at the blonde.

"This commercial city is surnamed Huang. My name is Huang Hao."

The blonde grinned, his hands in his pockets.

"Huang Dahai is your father?" Ye Tong asked.

She had indeed heard of this matter. When the Ye family got into trouble, the first person they thought of was Xu Shou.

Xu Shou had also invested a great deal in the Ye family, but it seemed fate was not on their side, and they encountered obstacles everywhere in business.

The Ye family wasn't so thick-skinned as to keep relying on Xu Shou.

Ye Tong remembered that they had once approached Huang Dahai.

"That's right, my father is Huang Dahai."

Huang Hao's face was arrogant, "You owe us so much money, you can't leave today."

"I'm very sorry about this, but you need to understand that you were investing, not lending. My Ye family doesn't owe you anything."

Ye Tong pretended to be calm.

"An apology is all it takes? Then your apology must be worth a lot of money, huh?"

Huang Hao walked up to Ye Tong and whispered, "Come with me, accompany me for a few days, and this matter will be settled."

"Watch your words, I'm already married." Ye Tong said coldly.

Huang Hao revealed a lewd smile, "Even better, you're not a virgin anyway. Spend a few days with me, and your man won't even know."

Slap!

Ye Tong slapped Huang Hao across the face and turned to leave.

"Damn it! You hit me and still think you can run?"

Huang Hao clutched his face and yelled at the people around him, "What are you staring at? Stop her for me!"

Several burly men in suits immediately rushed forward and blocked Ye Tong.

Ye Yu, seeing this from a distance, also rushed over, "What are you doing? I'm calling the police!"

"Call the police? Go ahead! She hit me, and I feel pain in my head. It'll be an intentional assault charge for her."

Huang Hao looked coldly at Ye Yu. He didn't know the Ye family had a younger daughter.

His target today was only Ye Tong.

"Take her away!"

Huang Hao clutched his face, a cold smile appearing, "I'll have plenty of ways to deal with you later."

Ye Tong struggled repeatedly, but these burly men grabbed her shoulders, and she couldn't break free.

Seeing this, Ye Yu gritted her teeth, her eyes suddenly turning cold. She picked up a chair from the side and swung it at the men.

But she found that the chair was being held from behind and she couldn't throw it.

"Let go of me..."

Ye Yu turned around and roared like a furious little lion.

When she saw the person behind her, her eyes widened, "Sis... Brother-in-law."

Ye Tong also noticed Xu Mu's figure. She finally couldn't hold back her tears, which streamed down her face.

Even Ye Tong didn't know why.

Why did she feel so at peace after this man appeared?

Even though just a few days ago, he had scolded and hit her.

Huang Hao saw Xu Mu and slightly bowed, "Oh, isn't this Young Master Xu?"

Xu Mu knew this person from memory.

Although their Huang family was in Jiang City, they were backed by the Feng family of Jiangbei Province.

The Feng family was originally on par with the Xu family, competing in Jiangbei.

However, as Xu Shou supported the Ye family for several years, the Xu family fell to around tenth place.

But the Feng family had always been among the top five.

Xu Mu strode forward and arrived beside Ye Tong.

The few security guards here, seeing this, immediately retreated in fear. They all knew this person.

"Are you alright?"

Xu Mu asked with concern.

"I'm fine."

Ye Tong shook her head.

"She's not fine! That man just insulted my sister!"

Ye Yu trotted over and pointed at Huang Hao.

Hearing this, Xu Mu's face darkened, and he walked towards Huang Hao, "Huang Hao! You dare touch my woman?"

Ye Tong's eyes welled up when she heard this.

[Favorability +20]

"Xu Mu, I advise you not to mess around. You should know that I'm Young Master Feng's man. If you dare touch me..."

Boom!

Before Xu Mu even got close, Meng Wanyue, who was with him, struck first.

She kicked Huang Hao, and his body shook violently, sliding across the smooth floor.

He slid for seven or eight meters, crashing into a pillar before stopping.

"Ugh!"

Huang Hao spat out a mouthful of blood.

He clutched his stomach, lying on the ground twitching.

Meng Wanyue's expression was calm, her eyes devoid of joy or sorrow, like a predator preparing to hunt. She continued to walk towards Huang Hao.

If it were anyone else, Meng Wanyue wouldn't care.

But the two people in front of her, whose photos she had seen, were the ones she was looking for.

The Dragon King's order was to see how these two were living and to protect them.

This man dared to bully them. If the Dragon King knew, he would surely make him pay a bloody price.

Meng Wanyue had already reached Huang Hao. She grabbed Huang Hao's collar with one hand and dragged him up from the ground.

Another slap.

Slap!

Huang Hao's mouth was full of blood.

He was scared.

Everyone knew Xu Mu was not to be trifled with, but he didn't expect him to be so wild.

He hastily said, "Young Master Xu! I'm sorry, I was wrong! Stop hitting me!"

Xu Mu was completely bewildered, and a little innocent. He hadn't told Meng Wanyue to do anything.

However, he also knew the answer in his heart.

Meng Wanyue had obviously seen photos of Ye Tong and Ye Yu.

"Alright! Stop!"

Xu Mu walked over and said.

Meng Wanyue hesitated for a moment before letting go of Huang Hao's collar and standing aside.

Xu Mu squatted down, and calmly said, "Tell me, why did you lay your hands on my woman?"

"Young Master Xu, I didn't know she was your woman..."

"You mean, any beautiful woman on the street, as long as she has no background, you dare to lay your hands on her?"

Xu Mu interrupted him, "You're truly lawless, aren't you?"

Huang Hao was so angry he laughed. In front of so many people, you beat me like this, and you're calling me lawless.

But he didn't dare to say it. He merely explained, "I received a text message today saying that Ye Tong of the Ye family was coming to our market, so I came to cause trouble."

"Text message? Let me see!"

Xu Mu frowned. This was clearly a targeted attack.
