Chapter 32: It’s Over!
Qiao Yubai had truly never seen such a scene. He instinctively shrank behind Ye Ran.
He asked in a voice only the two of them could hear, “Ge… can we win?”
Seeing the guy looking like a frightened chick, Ye Ran inexplicably felt like teasing him. “What do you think?”
Qiao Yubai gripped Ye Ranās sleeve tightly, his voice trembling a bit. “It’s the same as I said beforeāI’ll hold them off, and you run first.”
It just so happened that a waiter was about to deliver alcohol to a nearby room. Seeing the situation here, he tried to avoid them, only to be grabbed by Qiao Yubai, who seemed possessed by a surge of “super-courage.” He took the bottle from the waiter’s hand, closed his eyes, and swung it wildly in front of Fang Yuan.
He shouted, “Ge, run! If they dare to chase you, I’ll beat them to death…”
Ye Ran: “…”
He let out a soft sigh. In some ways, Qiao Yubai was really similar to Chi Youchu.
A bit “tiger-ish,” yet also a bit cute.
The other partyās people obviously didn’t take Qiao Yubai seriously. It was like a Tigger had mixed into a group of Siberian tigersāit might bounce around, but they all knew it wouldn’t bounce for long.
Because of this, not a single hoodlum stepped up. They wanted to wait for Qiao Yubai to get tired of bouncing and stop on his own.
Although Qiao Yubaiās combat power was limited, one couldn’t say he wouldn’t hit anything at all.
Qiao Yubai had only swung the bottle four or five times when a “thud” was heard, as if he had hit something.
Qiao Yubai froze and stopped. He opened his eyes to look, only to see that the “non-human” Fang Yuan had been hit in the face by his bottle. A large bruise immediately appeared on the “peacock’s” clean face.
Fang Yuan usually valued that face quite a bit. Now that he had been struck by Qiao Yubaiāwho was just a little rookieāit was incredibly embarrassing. At this moment, fire surged to the top of his head.
He gritted his teeth, his voice turning fierce. “You fucking dare to disfigure me?!”
After speaking, he stepped up to grab Qiao Yubaiās collar. Qiao Yubai froze on the spot. Just as he was about to be grabbed, Ye Ran flashed in front of him.
He raised the bottle in his hand and smashed it heavily against the man’s head.
“Thud.”
The bottle exploded on Fang Yuanās head, shards flying everywhere. Alcohol and glass shards mixed together, flowing down from his head and face.
After a surge of sharp pain, Fang Yuan only felt his head buzzing. His brain was almost completely blank. The next second, warm liquid flowed down from his forehead, past his eyes, blurring his vision.
He reached out and wiped it, then spread his palm. It was full of bright red blood.
Things happened too fast. Even the hoodlums behind Fang Yuan didn’t react before their Young Master Fang had his head “opened,” and it was quick, accurate, and ruthless, without the slightest hesitation.
For a moment, no one dared to step forward, fearing that they would be the next one to have their head “opened.”
Before Fang Yuan could react, a smile curved on Ye Ranās lips. “I wanted to tell Young Master Fang to be a good sport. If you lose, you lose. Don’t go looking for a beating.”
Fang Yuanās teeth were almost crushed from clenching. He held his head and turned to curse the group of people behind him. “Are you all fucking dead? Beat him!”
The hoodlums reacted to this curse. What was there to fear? No matter how ruthless Ye Ran was, he was fighting alone; they had the advantage in numbers.
Seeing these people closing in, Ye Ranās biggest difficulty was Qiao Yubai.
If it were just himself, he could barely protect himself. But with an extra Qiao Yubai, he couldn’t fight and couldn’t hold them off.
It was a bit of a hassle.
Ye Ran thought that if push came to shove, he would just kick Qiao Yubai out. This would also give him space to perform.
But he was afraid his foot wouldn’t be precise enough. If he accidentally hurt him and the protagonist shou of the book had an accident, he guessed that crazy plot would retaliate against him.
Before he could think of a way, a hoodlumās fist already swung over. The fist carried wind, heading straight for his face.
Ye Ran was already dealing with two people and truly couldn’t spare a hand.
Just then, a steady figure appeared beside him, delivering a kick directly to the chest of the rushing hoodlum.
The kicked hoodlum flew backward like a broken kite, hitting the hallway wall heavily. After sliding to the floor, he held his chest, his face instantly turning pale as paper.
If Ye Ran wasn’t mistaken, he seemed to have heard the sound of bones breaking just now.
Who the hell was this, so badass?
He turned his head to take a look, but after seeing the person, he hurriedly turned his head back. It was better not to have looked.
Chi Yuhengās people had already entered, all dressed in black. At a glance, they were a dark mass, full of oppressive pressure.
To these hoodlums who only dared to rely on numbers but actually had no real skills, professional bodyguards trained in Sanda were simply a crushing-level existence.
Chi Yuheng stood to the side, his gaze cold as he watched the chaotic scene. It wasn’t until the last hoodlum was pinned down that the situation was quickly brought under control.
Xin Yu came over to ask how to handle these people. Chi Yuheng showed no expression and casually pointed at Fang Yuan, who was lying on the ground with a bruised face and a “opened” head. “Send him to Fang Yichuan. Send the others to the police station.”
Xin Yu immediately understood and acted according to Chi Yuhengās instructions.
One by one, the hoodlums were taken away. Chi Yuheng scanned the scene only to find that Ye Ran was gone; only Qiao Yubai was standing by the wall.
He turned to look at the hoodlums, only to find someone trying to sneak away in the crowd.
With a reach of his large hand, he directly plucked the person out. “Youāre quite good at hiding.”
Ye Ran flailed to get down. “Whoās hiding? I was going to see if there were any people left out.”
Chi Yuheng raised an eyebrow. “You mean youāre a wolf watching a flock of sheep? If one is left out, youāre responsible for catching it back?”
Ye Ran gave a “Hehe” laugh. “Congratulations, you got it right.”
Chi Yuheng frowned, the temperature in his voice instantly dropping. “You still dare to laugh!”
Ye Ran: “…”
Should he cry instead?
The air around Chi Yuheng seemed to have solidified. He guessed even a mosquito within three meters would be scared to death by him.
Qiao Yubaiās face was a bit pale from the earlier scuffle. He stood there for a good while before recovering. The only person who would dare to be cheeky with Chi Yuheng at this time was probably only Ye Ran.
Based on Ye Ranās past experience after causing trouble, it was best not to provoke Chi Yuheng at this time.
He held his arm, pouted, and his voice softened. “It hurts so much, Chi Yuheng.”
The blood on Fang Yuanās body had happened to splash onto Ye Ranās arm at the time. Ye Ran took the opportunity to hold it, acting realistically. It looked quite authentic.
The thing Chi Yuheng could least stand was Ye Ran being injured. His face, which had been solemn just now, was immediately replaced by worry. “Is your arm hurt?”
Ye Ran nodded obediently. “Mn.”
“Be good, let me see.”
“Don’t look. If you look more, I won’t be able to stop the bleeding.” Ye Ran only cared about speaking, thinking that dodging this scolding for a moment was better than nothing, without considering the consequences later.
Xin Yu happened to return at this time, bringing the family doctor. Doctor Lin was the nephew of Uncle Lin, the butler. He had been sponsored by the Chi family for his studies. After graduation, he opened his own clinic and served as the Chi family’s family doctor on the side.
Previously, when Old Master Chi was at home, he only cared about the Old Master’s health. Later, after Ye Ran caused trouble outside, he used the trick of faking illness in front of Chi Yuheng, making him run around frequently.
In the end, he, the doctor, bore everything.
Before Chi Yuheng came, he was worried about Ye Ran being injured, so he had Xin Yu pick up Doctor Lin and come along.
Ye Ran froze when he saw the white coat.
Chi Yuheng looked at his arm. “If you don’t let me see, you at least have to let the doctor see.”
The corner of Ye Ranās mouth twitched.
It’s over!
