I'm invincible once I descend the mountain; the beautiful CEO is forcing me to get our marriage

"Oh? You're here. Where are my things?"

Upon hearing this voice, Jiang Yuer's tense shoulders immediately relaxed.

Ye An, dressed in loose casual clothes, stepped over the threshold and onto the stone steps.

Upon hearing Ye An's voice, Li Chengde's legs instinctively trembled.

The fear of being dominated by that oppressive aura in the banquet hall surged into my heart reflexively.

He swallowed hard, glanced at the three SUVs parked behind him, and straightened his back a little more.

"Ye An, you actually dare to come out."

Li Chengde pointed at Ye An's nose.

"Things? You still want things? Today I won't give you a single thing, and I'll make you cough it all up, with interest!"

Ye An glanced at Li Chengde but didn't reply. His gaze passed over Li Chengde and landed on the three SUVs.

"Young Ye, watch your mouth." Li Chengde narrowed his eyes; he couldn't wait to see Ye An beg for mercy.

"Young Master Li, you've arrived?" Jiang Xiaotian also came out of the mansion at this moment. Upon seeing this scene, he hurriedly stepped forward.

"Patriarch Jiang? I've told Jiang Yu'er everything I needed to say. She spent the night with me, and I'll have Colonel Duan let your Jiang family go."

Jiang Yu'er turned pale with anger.

"Colonel Duan?" Jiang Xiaotian's expression changed.

He naturally knew the background of this Colonel Duan—people from the military region were not to be trifled with by martial arts families like the Jiang family. Even martial arts masters were not to be trifled with. Although Ye An was powerful, capable of fighting eight opponents and killing eight experts, offending the military region was something…

"Well then, Young Master Li, please give me some face and let Colonel Duan go back." Jiang Xiaotian forced a smile.

"Heh, giving you face?" Li Chengde laughed. "Master Jiang, you're an old hand in Shanghai now. You need to be careful about who you can befriend and who you should abandon. You need to weigh things carefully. Stay away from those you should."

Just as Jiang Xiaotian was feeling uneasy, Ye An spoke up: "What kind of bullshit Colonel Duan is this? What kind of chicken and dog is he?"

Li Chengde was amused by Ye An's reckless attitude.

"I hope you can maintain this rebellious attitude later."

As he spoke, Li Chengde walked toward the three SUVs, from which more than a dozen men got out.

"Master Ye, you're being reckless. That's a senior colonel in the military region," Jiang Yu'er said worriedly to Ye An.

"I'm reckless? If I'm not reckless, are you really going to sacrifice yourself for the Jiang family?"

Ye An laughed, not at all like someone facing imminent death.

"At a time like this, you're still saying this!" Jiang Yu'er silently hugged Ye An's arm, feeling a strong sense of security just from that.

Jiang Xiaotian also said worriedly, "Master Ye, let me handle them. You and Yu'er should take the other road through the manor first."

Ye An said calmly, "It's alright. We're all reasonable people; we just need to explain things clearly."

"Oh, so you really didn't run away!" came an arrogant voice.

Behind Li Chengde, a middle-aged man led more than a dozen tall men and strode over.

"Colonel Duan, this is the kid who publicly humiliated me and threatened to devour my Li family's treasure trove or he'd slaughter my entire family!"

Li Chengde's voice carried a hint of smugness and a touch of ruthlessness.

He pointed at Ye An's nose, as if he could already see this arrogant young man kneeling and begging for mercy.

Colonel Duan snorted coldly and strode forward.

He was tall and strong, with broad shoulders and a sharp military uniform that made him look imposing.

The dozen or so tall men behind him spread out, subtly surrounding Ye An in the middle.

What kind of scene hasn't Colonel Duan seen?

How dare some random kid act so arrogantly in front of him?

"Hmph, kid, I bet you don't even know how to write the word 'death'—"

Colonel Duan walked up to Ye An and shouted coldly.

He was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly saw Ye An's face clearly. His body stiffened instantly, and he stood there, unable to continue speaking.

Immediately... his legs began to go weak, his knees felt like the bones had been removed, and they trembled violently.

"Colonel Duan, please don't misunderstand." Jiang Xiaotian shielded Ye An and the other person behind him, thinking that the other party was about to make trouble.

The colonel suddenly collapsed to the ground with a "thud," his legs giving way.

"Colonel Duan, what's wrong?"

Li Chengde and the others were shocked and quickly helped him up.

"Are you still that afraid of me?"

Ye An smiled faintly, surprised to run into an acquaintance.

"Master Ye... I was wrong."

Colonel Duan stood up, like a quail, his face stiff and trembling.

Everyone was stunned.

What's going on?

Why did Colonel Duan, who had arrived with such imposing manner, become like a cat seeing a mouse the moment he saw Ye An?

"Colonel Duan?"
