My disciple, you are now invincible. Go down the mountain and wreak havoc on the world!

With President Wang's sarcastic tone, Zhao Tianxiong on the other end of the phone broke out in a cold sweat.

"Hello, President Wang!"

Zhao Tianxiong changed his tone, becoming more respectful than if he were seeing his own father, with a hint of ingratiation.

"My son is being naughty; did he offend you in some way? Please don't take it to heart! I'm on my way to you, I'll be there soon!"

"It wouldn't be to the point of colliding with me."

President Wang glanced at Zhao Zhenyu, whose face was growing paler, and spoke casually.

"It was your precious son who just pointed at Mr. Ye's nose and cursed at him, and even wanted to call security to throw Mr. Ye out. He also said that he would make the Su family kneel down and marry their daughter to him."

"Mr. Ye? Which Mr. Ye?" Zhao Tianxiong was stunned for a moment, not yet able to react.

"Which other Mr. Ye could it be?" President Wang sneered. "Ling Shuai's junior brother, Mr. Ye Xunhuan, of course."

"boom--"

It sounded like something on the other end of the phone suddenly exploded.

Then came a series of crashing sounds, and Zhao Tianxiong's voice instantly changed, his fear almost spilling out through the telephone line.

"Who are you talking about? Ling Shuai's junior brother? Xun Huan? What else do you think?" President Wang's tone was cool.

"Your son is really bold, daring to mess with even the person Ling Shuai protects. I think your Zhao family doesn't want to have any standing in Jiangcheng anymore?"

"No, no, no! President Wang, please have mercy!"

Zhao Tianxiong was terrified, his voice trembling like a leaf, "I'm coming right away! I'm coming immediately! Please stop Mr. Ye for me! Don't let him get angry! I'll go over there right now and kowtow to Mr. Ye to apologize!"

The phone was abruptly disconnected.

Zhao Zhenyu stood there, his smug expression still lingering on his face, when he froze completely, like a stone statue.

He heard it clearly; his father's voice was trembling with fear.

Ling Shuai...

Which Ling Shuai?

Zhao Zhenyu suddenly remembered the name of that person who only existed in rumors, guarding the northern border, who had just been appointed commander and wielded great power. His face turned as white as a sheet of paper, and he began to tremble uncontrollably.

No, impossible... How could someone of that level be this kid's senior sister? But his father's reaction doesn't lie.

Zhao Zhenyu's legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground with a "thud".

Bank Manager Wang casually tossed the phone back into his arms, his eyes full of disdain: "Just wait, your dad's coming to clean up your mess."

After speaking, he turned around, bowed slightly to Ye Xunhuan, and his tone instantly became eight degrees more respectful: "Mr. Ye, what do you think should be done about the Zhao family's matter?"

"If you find it troublesome, I can give you a heads-up right now, and within three days, I guarantee the Zhao family will be completely wiped out of Jiangcheng."

These words sounded light, yet they carried immense weight.

Everyone in the audience held their breath, and their eyes were filled with fear and awe as they looked at Ye Xunhuan.

Could a single sentence truly wipe out the long-established Zhao family of Jiangcheng?

What level of energy is this?!

Ye Xunhuan slowly pulled the lollipop out of his mouth, twirling the transparent stick into a beautiful sugar flower shape on his fingertips. His gaze swept over Zhao Zhenyu, who was slumped on the ground, his face ashen, and a meaningful smile appeared on his lips.

"Disappearing? That's no fun. I think it's better to tease them."

He paused, his gaze falling on Su Qingyuan beside him.

"By the way, this guy was just pointing at my wife and daughter and cursing, his mouth was really filthy."

Ye Xunhuan spoke lightly, as if joking, but the coldness in his words sent chills down everyone's spine. "If your mouth is dirty, wash it properly. Also—" Ye Xunhuan raised an eyebrow, his tone somewhat nonchalant.

"He just said he wanted the Su family to beg for his daughter in marriage? My woman, Ye Xunhuan's woman, is he even worthy of his attention?"

When Su Qingyuan heard the words "my wife," her cheeks flushed bright red. She bit her lip and secretly glanced at him, her heart pounding like a little rabbit.

Just now, when everyone was criticizing him and pushing him away, she instinctively stood up to protect him.

She thought she was protecting him, but when she turned around, he was standing right in front of her, blocking all the dirt and rain from her.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Ye is right." Bank Manager Wang nodded hurriedly, then turned to the security captain and coldly ordered, "Didn't you hear what Mr. Ye said? Young Master Zhao has a dirty mouth, take him away and make him rinse his mouth properly."

The security captain, who had been bowing and scraping to Zhao Zhenyu like a dog, was now pale-faced and dared not be negligent. He quickly led two security guards to rush over, lift the limp Zhao Zhenyu, and drag him to the restroom.

"Let me go! Let me go! My dad's coming right now! You'll see what happens if you touch me!"

Zhao Zhenyu struggled desperately, but he couldn't break free. His threats grew weaker and weaker until all that remained were terrified screams.

The members of the Su family watched this scene without daring to breathe.

Just now, they joined Zhao Zhenyu in mocking Ye Xunhuan, calling him a good-for-nothing and a liar.

Now that Zhao Zhenyu has ended up like this, how could they not be afraid?

Lin Wanrong's legs were cramping, and she secretly shrank back into the crowd, wishing she could disappear into a crack in the ground, afraid that Ye Xunhuan would hold a grudge against her for what she had just said.

Inside the Bentley, Ling Jinghong looked through the half-lowered window at the back of the boy protecting the girl at the door. A faint tenderness appeared between his cold and sharp eyes.

That brat of a junior brother, his protectiveness hasn't changed at all.

When I was a kid, if anyone dared to touch the stray cats he had picked up, he would chase them over three mountains.

Now that they've come down the mountain, their methods of protecting people remain the same.

She tapped lightly on the car window with her fingertips and whispered to the driver in the front seat, "Send a message to the Zhao family. If Zhao Tianxiong can't teach his son properly, then there's no need to teach him anymore. There's no need to keep the Zhao family of Jiangcheng around."

"Yes, Commander Ling," the driver replied in a deep voice.

In the hall, Su Zhenbang was the first to come to his senses. He quickly walked up to Ye Xunhuan, bending over at almost a ninety-degree angle, his face plastered with an extremely fawning smile.

"Mr. Ye! You are truly a young man of great talent! We were blind to your greatness before and offended you greatly. We hope you will be magnanimous and not take it to heart!"

He was secretly overjoyed.

They thought the Su family was going to go bankrupt and be finished, but they never expected that this son-in-law, whom the whole family despised, would have such extraordinary abilities!

What's a 5 billion loan? With Mr. Ye around, let alone 5 billion, even 50 billion is no problem!

He was just thinking about breaking off the engagement, but now he can't wait to send Su Qingyuan to Ye Xunhuan in a grand and glorious manner!

Su Zhenhai quickly squeezed in, his face practically overflowing with flattery.

"Mr. Ye! I knew you were no ordinary person the moment I saw you! You have a distinguished presence and are a man of exceptional talent! Just as I expected! Truly, the younger generation surpasses the older!"

Lin Wanrong also shamelessly came over, her earlier disdain long gone, her face full of wrinkles as she smiled.

"Mr. Ye, I was just tongue-tied and didn't know how to speak properly. Please don't take it to heart."

"Qingyuan is incredibly lucky to marry you; it's a blessing she's accumulated over eight lifetimes. Our Su family is truly blessed to have a son-in-law like you!"

A group of people surrounded Ye Xunhuan, chattering away, completely different from their previous mocking and disdainful demeanor. Their expressions changed faster than flipping through a book.

Ye Xunhuan leaned against the doorpost, a lollipop dangling from his mouth, not even lifting his eyelids, a half-smile playing on his lips, letting them fawn over him.

He saw through the true colors of this group on his very first day down the mountain.

Opportunistic and sycophantic; disdainful of the poor and fond of the rich.

If it weren't for Su Qingyuan's sake, he wouldn't have let them stand here wasting their breath just because of what they said earlier.

Su Qingyuan stood to the side, feeling disgusted as she watched her relatives' ugly behavior of being arrogant at first and obsequious at second.

She walked over to Ye Xunhuan and whispered, "Thank you."

Ye Xunhuan turned his head, looking at her reddened ears, and deliberately moved closer, his warm breath brushing against her earlobe, a roguish smile on his face: "What are you thanking me for? Thanking me for helping you protect the Su family? Or thanking me for being your man?"

Su Qingyuan's face turned even redder, and she subconsciously shrank back, glaring at him, but her eyes were soft and had no intimidating power at all; instead, they seemed like she was being coquettish.

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps, accompanied by panting, came from the entrance of the hall.

Zhao Tianxiong rushed in, panting. His expensive custom-made suit was askew, his hair was messy, and his tie was crooked. He was completely unlike the big boss of Jiangcheng he usually was.

As soon as he entered, his gaze locked onto Ye Xunhuan, who was leaning against the doorpost. He scrambled over and knelt down in front of Ye Xunhuan with a thud.
