Character A (1)
"I didn't say I had anything to do with Myriad Flowers Tower, I just said I had a thing with you. Now it seems there's no mistake about that," Ye Lang said with a smile.
"Young Master, you can't just say things like that. What makes you think I have... you know... with Young Master Ximen? Although I would love to, it seems Young Master Ximen wouldn't be interested in a courtesan like me," Xinying retorted softly, teasingly adding.
Her behavior made it seem as if what Ye Lang said was a joke!
"Stop pretending, I'm sure you two are having an affair!" Ye Lang ignored Xin Ying's attitude and said directly.
"Boss, catching a thief red-handed and catching an adulterer in the act... how can you prove they're having an affair? They've both been acting normally, and this Young Master Ximen hasn't said or done anything. How did you figure out they were having an affair? Did you see them doing something behind the scenes?" Liu Feiyan interjected at this moment, asking the same question that everyone wanted to ask, including Xinying and Young Master Ximen.
However, Xinying and Young Master Ximen wanted to say that the term "illicit affair" was inappropriate.
Yes, it hasn't become a fact yet; it's just Ye Lang's words. By using the word "affair," aren't you essentially declaring that there's something going on between them?
This is tantamount to convicting a suspect before even sentencing them!
"No! They didn't communicate at all from beginning to end!" Ye Lang said, shaking his head.
"If that's the case, then why do you still say they're related?" Liu Feiyan asked.
"I don't know, all I know is that they are related," Ye Lang said, shaking his head.
"..."
Ye Lang's words left people feeling helpless. How could someone be like that, not even giving a reason? It seems this was just a joke.
"This Young Master certainly knows how to joke, but sometimes jokes shouldn't be made carelessly, and there are consequences! It's one thing for you to insult me, but you've also insulted my guest. We must settle this score to the end, otherwise people will think that Myriad Flowers Tower is weak and easy to bully!!" Xin Ying said calmly and naturally, clapping her hands and having her people surround Ye Lang.
At this moment, Ye Lang was still standing next to Xin Ying and the others, some distance away from Cold-Blooded Fifth. It was because of this that Cold-Blooded Fifth wanted to step forward and protect Ye Lang.
However, Cold-Blooded Fifth soon realized that it was no longer necessary, because Ye Lang used an extremely strange movement technique to leave the encirclement and return to her side.
"Haha, you think you can kill someone to cover up your affair just because they found out? Let me tell you, if you dare to do that, the consequences will be very serious!!" Ye Lang said to Young Master Ximen, his tone carrying a hint of mockery.
"Hmph!" Young Master Ximen merely snorted coldly, appearing completely detached.
The current situation is that Ye Lang says there is something wrong with Young Master Ximen, but others don't think so. The behavior of Young Master Ximen and Xinying also suggests that they have no problems.
"What consequences will there be? I don't believe it. With the Four Great Clans here, what can a nouveau riche like you do to us?" At this moment, before Xin Ying and the others could speak, Wei Satellite spoke first.
"Still not admitting you're having an affair?" Ye Lang raised his eyebrows ambiguously, seemingly amused, while completely ignoring Satellite.
"Young Master, please stop talking nonsense!" Xin Ying said angrily.
"You little rascal, do you have evidence?" Cold-Blooded Fifth asked calmly. She glanced at Xinying and Young Master Ximen, feeling that something seemed amiss, but couldn't quite put her finger on it.
"Of course! We've been certain of it since the very beginning!" Ye Lang nodded and said.
"!?"
After hearing Ye Lang's words, Xin Ying and Young Master Ximen were both a little surprised. They couldn't understand why they had done anything wrong.
They were especially careful to avoid being discovered! How could they have been caught?
Actually, they didn't realize that it was precisely because they were cautious that problems arose!
"How can you be so sure?" Cold-Blooded Fifth asked.
"First of all, when I injured him just now, those people were very nervous, even more nervous than when I was about to injure Young Master!" Ye Lang said, pointing at Young Master Ximen.
After Ye Lang's reminder, Cold-Blooded Fifth recalled the situation just now. Indeed, when Ye Lang feigned an attack on the Young Master Liu, these people did not seem very nervous, but when he injured the Young Master Ximen, some of them had already rushed over.
"This is because you injured our distinguished guest. It doesn't matter if you injured us, our Myriad Flowers Tower will get revenge. But you injured someone else, and that's a much more serious problem!" Xin Ying replied without changing her expression.
This makes sense; at least many people think it's quite normal. Some business owners value their reputation more than their own safety. Of course, some people are skeptical, thinking there might be some issues involved.
"That makes sense, but what happened after that? This Young Master Ximen hasn't reacted at all. I believe that's a cover-up," Ye Lang said, looking at Young Master Ximen.
"What? I didn't react? What kind of reaction do you expect me to have? Do you expect me to respond to every mudslingering attempt on me? I didn't react simply because you're not worth my reaction at all," Young Master Ximen said disdainfully.
Yeah, why should we react? It's not even true, so let them talk!
Indeed, many people have this reaction, feeling that even if others are talking about them, they don't necessarily have to respond, because they feel that responding would be beneath their dignity.
Given the status of the Ximen Family, they would simply disdain such a nouveau riche and wouldn't bother to respond to anything he said.
"Really? I hurt you, and you didn't even react? Are you that good-tempered?" Ye Lang asked blankly. "Then I'll keep hitting you, and you won't object, will you?"
"!!"
At this moment, everyone seemed to realize that Ye Lang had just injured Young Master Ximen, and that Ye Lang's reaction was exactly that, not that he would not respond to the "slander".
This is definitely a problem!
Among the members of the Four Great Clans, how many are good-tempered? Don't be fooled by the fact that this Young Master Ximen hasn't said a word. He is definitely not the kind of person who would let someone hit him without fighting back. Not to mention a nouveau riche like Ye Lang, even if it were the emperor, he would put up a fight.
Cold-Blooded Fifth now understood. This was the thing he couldn't figure out earlier. According to the information, this Young Master Ximen was a cold-faced tiger, very calm, but he was also a tiger, and you couldn't touch his backside.
Under normal circumstances, he should have already engaged Ye Lang in a fierce battle by now!
