"Thump—"

Xue Tu's legs gave way, and he knelt on the ground, shouting loudly, "Martial Artist, sir, please don't kill me! Please don't kill me!"

Jiang Chen arrived in front of him and looked at him coldly, without saying a word.

Xue Tu's body began to tremble, and a bone-chilling cold spread from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, making him afraid to move an inch.

A moment later, Jiang Chen finally spoke in a cold voice, "I won't kill you, but I expect you and your son to kneel and apologize to my wife."

Having said that, he turned and walked over to Tu Feng, who had already fainted from fear:

"I'm ordering you to kneel and apologize to my wife, do you have a problem with that?"

Jiang Chen's question, carrying a cold murderous aura and dense evil Qi, hit Tu Feng directly.

With a grunt, Tu Feng's eyes rolled back, and he fainted from fear.

Jiang Chen curled his lip in disdain, turned around, and glanced at Zhang Long and the others, saying indifferently, "Zhang Long, I appreciate your involvement today."

"Of course, Mr. Jiang."

Zhang Long looked at Jiang Chen with a face full of admiration, respectfully responding.

This honorific "Mr." was brimming with unprecedented submission. Zhang Long was utterly convinced of Jiang Chen in his heart.

At this moment, Jiang Chen also glanced at Wang Dongyang and his companion, and with a faint smile asked, "Aren't you planning to leave, or will you just keep kneeling there?"

"Ah! Go, go, go!"

Only then did Wang Dongyang and his companion come to their senses, helping each other up, and it took a while before they staggered toward their car.

Jiang Chen glanced at the spot where the two had been kneeling, where there were two patches of wetness.

With a scornful smile, Jiang Chen called out to Zhang Long and followed them away. His clothes were now all covered in blood, and he needed to find a place to change.

Watching Jiang Chen and Zhang Long leave, Xue Tu collapsed to the ground, his gaze empty, muttering to himself in disbelief:

"Martial Artist, he... he is actually a Martial Artist..."

...

Wang Dongyang and his companion hurriedly drove off the construction site.

"I never expected Jiang Chen to be so strong," said Wang Dongyang from the car, shaking.

Ye Yanni's face looked unpleasant as she glanced at Wang Dongyang and spoke softly, "We can't talk about this when we get back, it's too embarrassing!"

"Right, right, we can't talk about it, but... Jiang Chen..." Wang Dongyang nodded repeatedly, then hesitated for a moment.

Ye Yanni's eyes flickered, and she said in a stern voice, "No worries, even though Jiang Chen is violent, he's too smitten with Jing Yi. At home, he's like a turtle retracting its head, even if he's strong, he's useless, and we can still bully him as we please.

"Let's do this, we'll go change our clothes, then get back home before Jiang Chen and make sure he doesn't get a chance to tell his side of the story first."

"Alright, let's do that," agreed Wang Dongyang, nodding and pressing hard on the accelerator, speeding the car forward.

Wang Dongyang and his companion found a shopping mall, quickly changed their clothes, and then got back to Ye Jingyi's home before Jiang Chen.

"Back already? How did it go?" Zhou Ru hurriedly asked with concern as she saw the two return.

Ye Jingyi glanced at the two, then turned her head to look behind them with a worried expression, "Where's Jiang Chen? Did something happen to him?"

"Who cares about him! As long as he's not dead, that's good enough," Zhou Ru glared at Ye Jingyi, then turned her attention to Ye Yanni and the other, "Are you guys okay?"

"We're fine," Ye Yanni shook her head and gave Wang Dongyang a meaningful look.

Getting the hint, Wang Dongyang began to speak with scorn, "Jiang Chen was absolutely useless over there. It was all thanks to Yan Ni and me negotiating with the other party, leaving them utterly convinced and slinking away. As for Jiang Chen, he left embarrassingly early on his own; probably still loitering outside because he's too ashamed to come back."

"Exactly, Dongyang was so impressive. Facing off against those hundreds without fear, he silenced them with righteous words, using sheer force to scare them off. Unlike Jiang Chen, that good-for-nothing, who just kneeled down scared as soon as he got there, even made us kneel and apologize with him, totally shameless," Ye Yanni brazenly lied without so much as a change in her complexion.

While they were talking, there was a noise at the door. Ye Jingyi looked up to see Jiang Chen and glared at him with a disgusted expression.

Jiang Chen, who had changed into a new set of clothes at Zhang Long's, walked into the living room looking confused.

"You worthless piece of trash, what are you doing back here?" Zhou Ru cursed Jiang Chen the moment she saw him, "You're useless, only good at groveling and apologizing. What else can you do other than live off a woman?"

Ye Jianxiong mockingly said, "Exactly, it's only because Jingyi is kind-hearted. Otherwise, certain people would've starved to death on the streets by now."

"Jiang Chen, you useless trash, get the hell out of here!" Ye Yanni, fearful Jiang Chen would reveal the truth, pointed at his nose and berated him.

Wang Dongyang eagerly joined in, "Yeah, piss off! You're just a useless bum bringing us shame. We should have never asked you to come along."

Jiang Chen's expression darkened with rising anger, his fists raised as he retorted with a sneer, "Are you sure you know what you're talking about? Who was the useless one at the construction site?"

Wang Dongyang was startled and quickly retreated next to Ye Jingyi, pointing at Jiang Chen, "Jingyi, you see? This trash only knows how to throw his weight around at home. Out there, he's just a coward!"

Ye Jingyi's face turned ugly as she looked at Jiang Chen, lifting her hand to strike him, "You've embarrassed us outside, and now you want to hit people at home too?"

Jiang Chen grabbed Ye Jingyi's hand to stop her from hitting him and shouted angrily, "So, you really believe them that much, and not me at all?"

"Why should I believe you? What else can you do aside from sponging off a woman and lying to people?" Zhou Ru mocked, "What's wrong? You want to hit Jingyi now?"

Ye Jingyi, reminded of Jiang Chen's deceptive use of medicine, shook off his hand and said angrily, "Of course I believe them; they are my family. And you, you're nothing!"

"You..." Jiang Chen looked at Ye Jingyi furiously, his eyes showing a hurt expression. He bit his lip, said nothing, and turned to leave Ye Jingyi's home.

Ye Jingyi was startled, suddenly feeling a pang of regret. She wondered if her words had been too harsh.

"Phew—"

Wang Dongyang and Ye Yanni both let out a sigh of relief, glanced at Ye Jingyi, and Wang Dongyang approached her, saying, "Jingyi, I've got it all sorted out. Today, I met with the people responsible for sending you to the hospital. I convinced the guy who's been bullying you to come and kowtow in apology."

"Really? Oh, Dongyang is so impressive, unlike that good-for-nothing Jiang Chen. He's worthless. Thank you!"

Zhou Ru was overjoyed upon hearing this. Ye Jingyi's troubles had always been a sore spot for the Ye family, fearing something might happen to her and no one would be there to watch over Yunshang Lurong. Now, they could be at ease.

"Indeed, we're really grateful to Dongyang!" Ye Jianxiong patted Wang Dongyang's shoulder with a relieved expression.

Ye Jingyi also smiled at Wang Dongyang, "Thank you, brother-in-law."

"Don't mention it, we're all family, aren't we? It's only right to help each other out."

Wang Dongyang waved his hand magnanimously, "Heh, just wait for him to come apologize tomorrow."
