The villainous second male lead at the beginning? No! He's the white moonlight!

Ye Linyuan frowned slightly as he watched the young man with a bright smile emerge from the crowd.

What's going on today? One wave after another, it just won't end, will it?

"Young Master Ye, this kid is called Pei Sijing. He is the son of the cousin of Third Master Xiao's third wife. He is exceptionally capable and highly valued by Third Master. Recently, he was put in charge of one of Xiao's wholly-owned subsidiaries, and I heard that he has already achieved considerable success."

Knowing that Ye Linyuan had just returned to China and didn't know much about the newly powerful figures in Haicheng, Zhou Yonghui lowered his head and introduced them to Ye Linyuan.

Ye Linyuan nodded, giving Pei Sijing a higher opinion of her. To be valued by Third Master Xiao, she must have some skills.

Before going abroad, Ye Linyuan had met Xiao Sanye a few times. His full name was Xiao Chusheng. Among the older generation of the Xiao family, he was of above-average ability. He couldn't manage a very large company, but he could manage a company worth tens of billions without any problem.

However, what does it have to do with me, Ye Linyuan, that Pei Sijing is valued by Master Xiao?

"We haven't done anything wrong, why should we back down, Mr. Pei? If you're willing to be insulted, I can find you a hundred professionally skilled middle-aged women to relentlessly hurl insults at you 24/7, guaranteeing a comprehensive coverage centered on you and extending to your entire family, leaving no one untouched!"

Pei Sijing probably didn't expect Ye Linyuan to say that, and her face instantly turned gloomy, but the next moment she showed a sunny smile again.

Don't get angry, don't get angry. The other person is just a slightly capable playboy, not worth getting angry over!

Forcibly suppressing the raging fire in his heart, Pei Sijing's gentle voice rang out again, but the content was very unsettling.

"Young Master Ye, you are of noble status. If you have nothing to lose, do you really want to go against the working people? They are already pitiful enough. Besides, Young Master Ye, there is an old saying: 'If you are willing to risk your life, you can even bring down the emperor.'"

"Aren't you afraid they'll fight you to the death?"

As Pei Sijing finished speaking, many people present showed this expression.

"That's right, if you don't give us a way out, we'll all die together!"

"Yes, Young Master Ye, your life is very precious. Trading our lives for yours is a fair deal for us!"

"Young Master Ye, you should know when to stop. We'll apologize to you, and you can let it go. From now on, we'll keep to ourselves."

"Young Master Ye..."

Pei Sijing felt smug as she listened to the passersby who had been provoked by her own actions.

As the saying goes, two fists can't beat four hands, let alone here there are more than four hands!

He refused to believe that Ye Linyuan wouldn't back down!

If Ye Linyuan makes concessions, then perhaps I can break the perfect halo that Ye Linyuan has in Xiao Ruoxi's eyes!

Thinking of this, she glanced at An Wangshu, who was being held in Ye Linyuan's arms, and a burning desire flashed deep in her eyes.

Even with his half-baked physiognomy skills, he could tell that this woman had the appearance of great wealth and honor, and not only did she have the appearance of great wealth and honor, but she also had the appearance of bringing good fortune to her husband!

If this kind of woman lived in ancient times, she might even become the empress if she was lucky!

No wonder Master said he would have unexpected opportunities down the mountain. Sure enough, he was right. He had only been down the mountain for three months and had already encountered two women with extremely striking appearances. The first was Xiao Ruoxi, and the second was the woman Ye Linyuan was holding in his arms!

Even the woman in front of him was several times more beautiful than Xiao Ruoxi!

No, we absolutely cannot let such a gem slip by!

Feeling Pei Sijing's extremely aggressive gaze, An Wangshu nestled uncomfortably in Ye Linyuan's arms, as if only in this way could she find some sense of security.

Ye Linyuan had no idea that Pei Sijing dared to make a move on An Wangshu, but that didn't stop him from preparing to crush him!

He didn't care about the class conflict in the first half of the sentence, after all, he himself belonged to the privileged class, and was even at the top level of the privileged class. What really aroused his malice was the second half of the sentence!

Is that a threat? Is that a blatant threat?

Ye Linyuan smiled, a very happy smile!

This was only the second time in his life he had been threatened like this!

The first time he was threatened, none of those who dared to threaten him had a good ending. At the very least, they were shot, and the worst was being shot for ten minutes!

The literal meaning!

The Ye family paid for the bullets!

Ye Linyuan couldn't help but take another look at Pei Sijing, and this time he found that something was off about the guy.

He had previously dismissed him as a clown and taken him for amusement, but now he realized that this guy was far too confident. It was an absolute confidence that emanated from within, as if he was certain he could solve any problem, no matter what difficulties he encountered.

Where does this guy get his confidence from?

Is it a strong background or one's own ability?

Or is it... destiny...?

It's a pity that today's basic detection technique was used on An Wangshu, otherwise we could have seen how negative his favorability towards me was.

After sighing a couple of times, Ye Linyuan glanced around at the somewhat agitated crowd, then looked at Pei Sijing again and spoke calmly, his tone still icy.

"First of all, Mr. Pei, who do you think you are? What right do you have to label me as going against the working people? Besides, I was just exercising my rights and obligations as a citizen of China and upholding our reputation. There was nothing wrong with what you call going against the working people."

"Besides, do they even deserve to be called the working people? The working people are all kind, simple, hardworking, and great. Tell me, which of their words just now deserves to be called kind, simple, hardworking, and great? The working people? They're more like troublemakers!"

Ye Linyuan's words instantly drew angry glares from everyone present. They had merely spoken a few words of "fairness," so how did they become troublemakers?!

However, considering that Ye Linyuan still had leverage over them, these people could only force themselves to endure it.

However, some people present were overjoyed. They thought that if they took the initiative based on Ye Linyuan's words, the public opinion might turn in their favor!

Without giving these people any more time to think, Ye Linyuan's voice rang out again.

"Secondly, the fish will definitely die, but the net will never break."

Pei Sijing stepped forward and spoke loudly and righteously.

"Really? Has Young Master Ye considered the possibility that there might be a whale in the net?"

"So what if it's a whale? If it really is a whale, I'll just make the fishing net as thick as possible and use the same material as aircraft carrier arresting cables!"

"Trust me, I mean what I say!"

Before he finished speaking, Ye Linyuan also took a step forward. In an instant, an imposing aura emanated from Ye Linyuan. Even Pei Sijing couldn't help but take two steps back, her face showing shock, not to mention the passersby around them!

How can this guy have such an amazing aura? Wasn't he just a slightly clever playboy?

At this moment, An Wangshu, who was being held in Ye Linyuan's arms, felt the deepest emotions. She could truly feel Ye Linyuan's concern for her. It was not acting, nor was it feigned; it was genuine care!

But the more she felt this way, the more suffocated she became. After all, the An family...

Pei Sijing, standing opposite Ye Linyuan, frowned even more deeply, staring intently at Ye Linyuan, trying to find the slightest flaw in his face, but unfortunately, she found none.

After a full minute of silence, Pei Sijing finally spoke.

"Young Master Ye, please reconsider. As the saying goes, a man's anger can lead to bloodshed, and a wise man avoids dangerous situations. You don't want to have to be on guard against others from now on, do you?"

"There's no need for Mr. Pei to trouble himself with that. I've thought it over not just three times, but four, five, and six times, so I've decided that these people won't pay the price. I will absolutely not let this go!"

"Even if the case goes all the way to the Supreme Court, the Ye family will fight to the bitter end!"

"Our Ye family may not have much else, but we've never lacked money or people!"

"That's just how I am. If someone treats me well, I'll repay them tenfold; but if anyone dares to bully me even a little, I'll give them a death sentence!"

"As for your so-called revenge, let them do it. I believe in our laws, I believe in our government, I believe in our country!"

After saying that, Ye Linyuan looked at Pei Sijing with an expectant gaze, as if he were anticipating Pei Sijing's revenge.

Damn it, this guy is definitely a swindler!

Pei Sijing cursed inwardly. He had a feeling that Ye Linyuan was waiting for him to make a move, which made him very uneasy. Since he came down the mountain, everything was under his control. Even if there were any accidents, he imagined that he could slowly get back under his control through perseverance.

Moreover, he had no way to respond to Ye Linyuan's words.

Originally, he thought he could create a persona by daring to fight against the powerful and wealthy for the people, so that he could quickly gain enough popularity.

Only with enough popularity can one enter the Xiao family's circle, and a persona of fearlessness in the face of power is likely to win Xiao Ruoxi's favor.

As long as I can get Xiao Ruoxi, then I can establish myself in the upper circle of Haicheng, and only then can I put my skills to good use!

Even if he fails to establish his persona, any attacks Ye Linyuan encounters afterward will be due to his arrogance today, and will be retaliation from those he has bullied. It has nothing to do with him!

He was just an insignificant passerby who was unafraid of powerful figures.

If Ye Linyuan is crippled, Xiao Ruoxi will definitely stop being infatuated with him, thus giving her enough time to showcase her talents!

As long as one's talents are recognized by the higher-ups of the Xiao family, they might try to win one over by having one marry into the Xiao family, thus ultimately achieving one's goals!

It can be said that whatever the outcome of today's events, it will be entirely beneficial to him. At most, the second outcome would require him to intervene secretly, which is not a big deal.

But now, all his calculations have failed. Ye Linyuan has already involved the law, the government, and the country. If something really happens to him, the government will probably investigate the matter thoroughly. In that case, his secret might not be able to be kept.

Before I went down the mountain, my master told me that with my current skills, I could look down on everyone, but I must never underestimate the government, and I must never go against the country!

Thinking of this, Pei Sijing took a deep breath and looked intently at Ye Linyuan.

"It seems that Young Master Ye is determined to make up his mind. I will say no more. That's all I have to say. But as I always say, it's better to be forgiving than not to be forgiving. It's better for everyone."

After saying that, Pei Sijing turned and left without any hesitation.

Could this guy be the male lead in some kind of story?

Watching Pei Sijing's departing figure, Ye Linyuan kept muttering to himself.

Capable, confident, and knows when to advance and retreat.

Most importantly, the other person gave me a very uncomfortable feeling!

Nine times out of ten, he's the male lead in some kind of story!

Is it a master descending the mountain?

Or is it the return of the Dragon King?

Or perhaps a legendary urban doctor?

After thinking for a moment, and glancing again at the figure that had already disappeared into the crowd, Ye Linyuan lowered his head and looked at An Wangshu, who was still trembling behind him, and said softly.

"Come on, let's go inside. I told you, we have to get our hair cut today, and we have to get this spa treatment!"

"Even Jesus coming couldn't stop us, I'm telling you!"

Then his eyes turned to Zhou Yonghui, who had already been intimidated by Ye Linyuan's imposing aura.

"Brother Zhou, I don't have Qian Ming's phone number, but you should, right? Give him a call and tell him to get over here."

"If he doesn't give me an explanation for what happened today, I'll make sure he knows why my name is Ye Linyuan!"

"Standing on the edge of an abyss, as if facing a deep abyss, as if treading on...thin ice!"
