The SSSSSSSS-level Mad Dragon is released from prison!

Chapter 26 Even the Ye family's dogs dare to bark.

The Ye Family Manor is located on a hillside in the eastern suburbs of Haicheng, covering an area of ​​several hundred acres, comparable to an ancient royal palace.

Tonight, the place is brightly lit, and luxury cars are flowing in droves.

A dilapidated taxi stopped at the entrance of the manor, standing out from the rows of Rolls-Royces and Bentleys around it, like an ugly duckling that had wandered into a flock of swans.

The car door opened, and Jiang Chen and Tang Tang got out.

The rich second-generation heirs around them, dressed in custom-made suits and with socialites by their arms, cast undisguised mocking glances their way.

"Where did this country bumpkin come from? Taking a taxi to the Ye family's dinner party?"

"Probably some nouveau riche's poor relative, trying to get noticed."

"Look at that woman, she's pretty, but that air of vulgarity about her, tsk tsk."

Tang Tang shrank half her body behind Jiang Chen, only sticking out her little head, and stuck out her tongue at the crowd pointing and whispering around her.

Her black dress was worth six figures, but in the eyes of these truly wealthy families, a person's temperament and background are more important than clothes.

Jiang Chen ignored the surrounding discussions and walked straight towards the gilded gate of the manor, which was carved with intricate patterns.

"stop."

Two security guards in black suits reached out and stopped them.

A middle-aged man who looked like a butler walked over.

He gave a slight bow: "Good evening, gentlemen. This is the Ye family manor, and tonight we are hosting a private banquet."

He paused, his gaze sweeping meaningfully over Jiang Chen's casual attire, before adding coldly.

"We apologize, but to ensure the best experience for all our guests, we have strict dress requirements."

Tang Tang couldn't stand this insult and stood with her hands on her hips, yelling.

"What do you mean? Are you saying my brother's clothes aren't fashionable enough? Open your eyes and look! This is what you call trendy!"

The housekeeper seemed not to hear her shouting, and simply looked at Jiang Chen again.

"Sir, do you have an invitation?"

Just then, a small commotion arose from the crowd not far away.

Jiang Chen looked in the direction of the sound and paused for a moment.

Su Jinyu.

She came too.

She wore a white dress, and her cool and aloof temperament stood out in the crowd, like a snow lotus untouched by the dust of the world.

Beside her stood a tall, handsome young man.

The man was looking down at her, speaking to her with a gentle smile on his face.

Su Jinyu also noticed the commotion at the door. Her gaze passed over the crowd and met Jiang Chen's in the air.

Her brows furrowed instantly, and her expression turned icy.

What's he doing here? Is this the kind of occasion he should be in?

She turned slightly to the side, unwilling to have anything to do with him.

The man beside her noticed the change in Su Jinyu.

"Jinyu, did you run into someone you know?"

The man's voice was very pleasant, carrying a sense of composure that came from long-held positions of power.

His name is Ye Tian, ​​a member of a collateral branch of the Ye family in Haicheng, and also the person who introduced Su Jinyu to Haicheng this time.

His gaze fell on Jiang Chen, carrying a scrutinizing look and a hint of barely perceptible hostility.

"He looks unfamiliar; he doesn't seem to be from our circle."

Su Jinyu pursed her lips.

His name is Jiang Chen.

"Oh?"

Ye Tian drawled out his words, his smile widening.

"Is that... the convict in Qincheng Prison who had a ghost marriage with you?"

His voice wasn't loud, but it was loud enough for the people around him to hear clearly.

"Pfft."

Several socialites couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Su Jinyu's face immediately turned very ugly.

Ye Tian seemed oblivious to Su Jinyu's change and walked towards Jiang Chen.

He looked down at Jiang Chen as if admiring an interesting toy.

"Mr. Jiang, is that it? I've heard so much about you. What, the Su family kicked you out, so you're trying your luck at the Ye family?"

Jiang Chen ignored him.

He took out the invitation letter that Sang Biao had given him from his pocket and handed it to the butler.

"Can we go in now?"

When Ye Tian saw the ordinary card, he could no longer hide the mockery on his face.

He reached out and took the invitation from the butler's hand.

"Let me see what this amazing thing is."

He glanced at it only once and then scoffed.

"An invitation to the outskirts?"

"These tickets are issued to small and medium-sized business owners who want to curry favor with the Ye family, so they can starve in the garden."

"You think you can get into the main hall with this kind of garbage?"

The words fell.

"Rip—"

In front of everyone, he tore the invitation in half and threw it on the ground.

The scraps of paper drifted down to Jiang Chen's feet.

"Get lost."

Ye Tian pointed to the outside of the gate.

"This is not a place for you."

The surrounding laughter grew even louder.

Tang Tang was so angry that she was trembling all over and was about to rush up to argue with him.

Jiang Chen raised his hand and stopped her.

He glanced at the scraps of paper on the ground, then looked up at Ye Tian, ​​who had a smug look on his face.

"I accidentally grabbed the wrong one."

"I wonder if this one qualifies?"

Amidst the puzzled looks of the crowd, Jiang Chen reached into his pocket again.

This time, he took out a card.

A card that is completely black, so deep that it can absorb all light.

In the very center of the card, embroidered with pure gold thread, is the character "叶" (Ye), written in a vigorous and elegant style.

The edge of the card is inlaid with a ring of tiny diamonds, which refract a dazzling light under the doorway lights.

Supreme Black Gold Box!

The laughter in the room stopped abruptly when the card was presented.

Ye Tian's smug expression froze.

His eyes were wide open, staring intently at the card.

As a member of a collateral branch of the Ye family, he understood better than anyone else what this card represented.

No more than ten in the entire city of Haicheng!

Within the Ye family, there is an ironclad rule: anyone holding this card is an honored guest of the Ye family!

How...how could he have this?!

"thump!"

A muffled thud.

The butler, who had been so arrogant just moments before, suddenly collapsed to his knees.

His face drained of color instantly.

Large beads of cold sweat streamed down his forehead.

"I...I was blind to your greatness! I deserve to die! I deserve to die!"

He raised his hands and slapped himself hard across the face with both hands.

"Slap! Slap! Slap!"

The crisp sound of a slap was particularly jarring in the quiet doorway.

The rich kids around them all gaped, their expressions as if they had seen a ghost.

Who exactly is this man who arrived in a taxi?

Neither the butler kneeling and begging for mercy nor Ye Tian, ​​who was deathly pale, could capture Jiang Chen's attention for even a second.

He turned around abruptly, ignoring everything behind him, and stretched out his arm towards Tang Tang, who was already stunned.

Tangtang then came to her senses, her big eyes filled with admiration.

"As expected, following the eldest brother means you get to eat well; when it comes to showing off, the eldest brother is the only one who can do it."

Without hesitation, she took Jiang Chen's arm and lowered her voice.

"Dude, you were absolutely awesome just now! Even cooler than the superheroes in the movies!"

Jiang Chen smiled slightly and said indifferently, "A bunch of clowns, not worth mentioning."

As he spoke, he led Tangtang, stepping through countless astonished, jealous, and fearful gazes, onto the red carpet leading to the main hall.

As Tang Tang passed by Su Jinyu, she even tightened her grip on Jiang Chen's arm in a defiant manner, as if declaring ownership.

Jiang Chen, however, remained aloof, as if she were nothing more than two obstructive pebbles on the roadside.

"Not worth mentioning..."

Su Jinyu stood there, the coldness in her eyes instantly turning into deep surprise and doubt.

Where did he get this? Did he steal it? Rob it? Or is there really someone else behind him?

She took a deep breath, withdrew her gaze, and her eyes regained their resolute and coldness.

"So what? Whether the decision is right or wrong, I don't regret it."
