Ye Xiong was handcuffed by the police and then was about to be escorted into the police car to be taken back to the station.
"I say, Officer, although I hit someone, it was understandable. I'm truly here to find the Automobile Guild's president, Luo Yun."
Ye Xiong, handcuffed and escorted by the police, pleaded earnestly to the police beside him.
But those officers paid him no mind and continued escorting him sternly.
"Tsk tsk, weren't you quite tough just now? Now that the police are here, you're scared?"
When passing by the security team leader, whom Ye Xiong had beaten up earlier, the security team leader sneered at Ye Xiong.
The other guards who had been beaten also showed mocking smiles towards Ye Xiong.
Their glances seemed to say, "Haha, now look at you, acting all tough, but intimidated when you see the police."
However, they didn't dare to voice it out loud because they were truly shocked by the strength Ye Xiong had displayed earlier.
"Haha, didn't you say you were our president Luo Yun's student? Let our president come to save you then."
The security team leader continued mocking.
Just then, as his voice fell, they suddenly heard a shout from afar: "Wait, hold on."
The security team leader and the guards froze, and the police escorting Ye Xiong were also taken aback. Ye Xiong smiled slightly upon seeing Luo Yun arriving.
Luo Yun quickly ran up to the police, glanced at Ye Xiong, and instantly, a look of excitement appeared in his eyes.
He then ran to Ye Xiong, clasped Ye Xiong's hands, and exclaimed excitedly: "Master, I've finally seen you after so many years."
Click.
The security team leader turned pale from fright, rubbed his eyes, feeling like he had seen wrong.
The police were equally astonished, wondering who Luo Yun was and how he could possibly know Ye Xiong, who appeared to be a shabby old man.
Moreover, what did Luo Yun call him? Master?
"Quick, release my master! It's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding." Luo Yun urgently told the head officer upon seeing Ye Xiong still handcuffed.
The head officer obviously knew Luo Yun, so he promptly ordered Ye Xiong's handcuffs to be undone and asked, "President Luo, what's going on?"
Luo Yun glanced at the security team leader and then said, "It's all a misunderstanding. I called my master here to train these guards. The call to the police earlier was also a misunderstanding, as I didn't notify anyone in advance, so our staff thought someone was attacking the guards."
The guards cursed internally at Luo Yun's words, but upon seeing Luo Yun's glare, quickly nodded: "That's right, President Luo is correct; this master came to teach us some skills."
The police nodded after hearing this, understanding the situation. Since those who were beaten did not want to pursue the matter, and Ye Xiong seemed to have background, the police chatted briefly with Luo Yun then left.
The guards, too, upon the police's departure, eyed Luo Yun fearfully, worried about Luo Yun's reaction.
However, Luo Yun asked Ye Xiong, "Master, how should we handle this?"
Ye Xiong glanced at the guards, whose faces showed pleading expressions, and then waved his hand: "Forget it."
Upon hearing this, Luo Yun gestured to the relieved guards: "Go get busy. Those injured should go to the hospital; I'll cover the medical expenses."
The guards left gratefully after expressing their thanks repeatedly.
After the guards departed, Luo Yun once again looked at Ye Xiong with a very excited expression, lacking the demeanor and steadiness of an Automobile Guild president, leaving the arriving Luo Bing puzzled.
Ye Xiong glanced around and spotted Luo Bing, his eyes lit up, and he said: "Luo Yun, this must be your daughter, Luo Bing?"
Ye Xiong had heard the name Luo Bing in Ye Qiu's dreams.
"Yes." Luo Yun pulled Luo Bing close to Ye Xiong and said, "Call him Uncle Ye."
"Hello, Uncle Ye." Luo Bing greeted sweetly, and upon hearing, Ye Xiong's face showed happiness, saying "Good" repeatedly, becoming increasingly pleased with Luo Bing.
Luo Bing asked Luo Yun, "Dad, who is this?"
Luo Yun replied, "This is the teacher I've often mentioned to you, Ye Xiong, oh and he's also Ye Qiu's dad."
"What? Ye Qiu's dad!" At this moment, Luo Bing was no longer interested in the fact that Ye Xiong was her dad's master but was intrigued to learn this shabby middle-aged man in front was Ye Qiu's dad. For some reason, her heart was racing.
Upon noticing Ye Xiong's gaze evaluating her, her face turned red with shyness, feeling as if she was a daughter-in-law meeting her father-in-law.
"Oh dear, what am I thinking?" Luo Bing felt a bit shy.
This scene caught Ye Xiong's attention, making him even more pleased with Luo Bing. He then said to Luo Yun: "Luo Yun, your daughter sure is pretty. She didn't inherit any of your ugliness..."
Luo Yun immediately felt awkward hearing this, while Luo Bing nearby almost burst out laughing.
To alleviate the awkwardness, Luo Yun said, "Master, let's go upstairs to chat."
"Alright." Ye Xiong nodded.
Ye Xiong was then led by Luo Yun, under the astonished gazes of the staff at the Automobile Guild, respectfully brought to his office.
Once inside the office, Ye Xiong sat boldly on the sofa, crossing his legs, and glanced at Luo Bing, who was pouring them water. He quietly asked Luo Yun, "Luo Yun, does your daughter have someone special now?"
Though Luo Bing was pouring water, she was eavesdropping on Ye Xiong's words, very curious about Ye Qiu's father.
At this moment, upon hearing Ye Xiong's inquiry to Luo Yun, the cup in her shaking hands almost slipped, but still, some water spilled.
Luo Bing, while wiping the spill with paper, listened with a flushed face to the conversation between Luo Yun and Ye Xiong.
"She does."
Luo Yun said.
"What?" Ye Xiong was startled and slapped the table hard: "Who is it?"
Luo Yun chuckled: "That person is quite exceptional, especially in the racing domain, a real genius."
Ye Xiong chuckled: "A genius, haha, let me tell you, Little Yun, if we're talking geniuses, my son Ye Qiu is the one. Let me tell you about my son, ahem,..."
Luo Yun slyly smiled, enjoying listening to Ye Xiong boast about Ye Qiu's virtues.
"Pfft."
And at this moment, Luo Bing, who was pouring water for Ye Xiong, couldn't help but laugh when hearing Ye Xiong's praises for Ye Qiu, yet oddly found herself agreeing with him.
"Haha, tell me, Little Yun, is Luo Bing's boyfriend better than my son?"
Ye Xiong asked.
Luo Yun nodded: "They're about the same."
"What? Who is that person?" Ye Xiong was genuinely anxious, grabbing Luo Yun's shoulder: "Little Yun, didn't we agree that when your daughter and my son grow up, they'd get married? How can you watch Luo Bing date someone and not stop it? Have you forgotten your master?"
Covered in Ye Xiong's spit, Luo Yun was quite helpless. After Ye Xiong finished speaking, he shook his head with a wry smile: "Master, I haven't forgotten. I was talking about Ye Qiu... haha..."
"Uh?"
Ye Xiong was stunned, then angrily said: "Are you teasing me?"
"Oh, no, no!" Luo Yun quickly implored for mercy.
Who would have thought that the usually high-and-mighty president of the Automobile Guild would at this moment be begging a scruffy man for forgiveness.
"Haha, so if that's the case, then when you said Luo Bing has a significant other, it's not true?"
Ye Xiong asked,
Luo Yun replied: "It still is true."
Seeing Ye Xiong about to lose his temper, Luo Yun quickly added: "Don't be in a rush, let me finish. The person my little Bing likes is your Ye Qiu, so when I said 'like Ye Qiu,' it was Ye Qiu. I can tell my little Bing likes your kid, and I'm quite satisfied with him."
"Hmph, so Dad just sold me out like that?"
Luo Bing, who was eavesdropping outside, turned red at Luo Yun's words, slightly huffed, but her face bore a faint smile.
...
"Well then, that's perfect. My boy doesn't have a girlfriend right now either. Let's settle on letting them be together. Find a time soon to finalize the wedding contract?"
Ye Xiong decided.
Luo Yun, however, hesitated: "Master, my little Bing surely has no problem with it, but your son Ye Qiu, I mentioned it to him the other day, and he seemed to disagree."
Hearing this, Ye Xiong frowned.
He had come to the Automobile Guild to arrange Ye Qiu and Luo Bing's marriage.
That night, Ye Qiu drank too much, and Ye Xiong heard him calling out for Lin Xirou in his sleep, so seeing Ye Qiu so deeply involved, he wanted to find him a new emotional anchor to completely move him out of that previous relationship.
Upon hearing Luo Yun's words, he fell silent.
Luo Bing outside also fell silent.
Bang.
After a long pause, there was a bang as Ye Xiong slapped the table and cursed: "I'm that brat's father; he has to listen to me. This is settled."
With that, Ye Xiong got up and left, Luo Yun hurriedly said: "Master, you..."
Ye Xiong waved dismissively: "Don't bother me unless necessary; you know I want a quiet life now."
Luo Yun sighed, said nothing more, and stood in place, lost in thought.
As Ye Xiong walked out of the room, he saw Luo Bing standing by the door. Thinking she might have heard everything he just said, he rolled his eyes and cheerfully addressed the shy and blushing Luo Bing: "Daughter-in-law, get ready; in a few days, I'll have my son come to marry you."
"Ah?" Luo Bing was startled.
Yet Ye Xiong had already left, and whatever she wanted to say got stuck in her throat.
"What did he just call me? Daughter-in-law? And he said Ye Qiu will come to marry me in a couple of days?" Luo Bing thought of what Ye Xiong said earlier. Her fair fingers clenched tightly as her eyes flickered.
"I wonder what Ye Qiu thinks?" Luo Bing wondered, then paused, quickly shaking her head: "What's wrong with me, wanting to marry him so much? Hmph, even if he wants to marry me, I wouldn't agree."
