Girl, Your Eyes Never Lie

Had the plot really gone off the rails again?

"Damn, I miscalculated. It's gotten even harder for me to keep my head down."

Tang Yu felt like he was about to puke blood.

Was it really so hard to let him quietly keep his head down and earn some rewards?

"Hey, babe, why aren't you saying anything?"

When she heard no response from the other end, Wang Yixue asked.

"No, I'm just so happy I can't find the words."

"Really? Then I'll come to you again next time I make money."

"Thank you."

Tang Yu wiped away a tear and hung up.

In this scorching heat, he was covered in cold sweat, his hands and feet freezing. Hell was empty, and the Dragon King was walking among us... He couldn't remember the rest.

In short!

This world was full of oppression for cowards like him. When would he finally be able to stand tall?

The Su Family.

As one of Suhang's four great families, the Su Family had once been just as glorious as the Tang Family.

But in recent years, they had declined badly. They could barely hold on to their status as one of the four great families.

If not for the younger generation's outstanding Su Muyue,

everyone would have thought it was only a matter of time before the Su Family fell out of the ranks of the four great families.

After a full day of work, Su Muyue drove her Maserati back to the Su Family.

A figure immediately came forward to greet her.

It was Ye Chen, who had been waiting in his car for ages.

After parting ways with the Tang Family last time, he naturally couldn't stay on as a bodyguard for the Su Family.

"Muyue, it's been a long time."

He came up with a smile and greeted Su Muyue.

"What are you doing here?"

Su Muyue furrowed her brows slightly.

Seeing her frown, Ye Chen felt a little sweetness in his heart.

Was she putting on this cold front to protect him, hoping to keep him at a distance?

Silly girl.

"I missed you, so I came to see you."

Ye Chen smiled.

"Don't talk to me like that. We're not close. Please show some self-respect."

Su Muyue opened the car door and stepped out, looking impatient as she prepared to go inside.

Ye Chen hurriedly blocked her path, his expression full of devotion.

"Stop pretending, girl. Your eyes never lie."

"You care about me. You're just afraid the Tang Family will hurt me."

"But I can tell you this: the Tang Family is nothing to me."

"I'm even more powerful than you think. Soon, you'll find out who calls the shots in Suhang."

Su Muyue was so disgusted by his cheesy words she nearly threw up her lunch.

Her murderous glare—

That really didn't lie.

Just then, several members of the Su Family came out of the house.

When they saw Ye Chen blocking Su Muyue's way, they flew into a rage.

Su Zhongshan gritted his teeth. "You again! You embarrassed our Su Family last time, and now you dare to show your face here?"

Then he looked at the two bodyguards at the entrance. "Beat this bastard and throw him out!"

The two bodyguards immediately charged forward, fists clenched.

Ye Chen stood there arrogantly, letting the two bodyguards punch him.

Then he gave his body a slight shake.

Using their own force against them, he sent both bodyguards stumbling backward before they landed hard on their backsides.

The two stared at Ye Chen in terror, still unable to figure out what had happened.

The Su Family members were just as astonished.

This guy was that good at fighting?

Who on earth was he?

Seeing their shocked expressions, Ye Chen gave them a wicked smile.

"Originally, I wanted to keep a low profile, but you people really look down on me."

"Today, I'm going to tell you: the Tang Family is nothing but ants before me."

"I, Ye Chen, am the true son-in-law of the Dragon King for your Su Family. How could a good-for-nothing like Tang Yu ever compare to me?"

"Muyue's birthday is in three days. I'll host the birthday banquet for her."

"I'll book the top floor of the Mingyue Hotel and give her the best birthday banquet!"

After a pause, he continued, "Besides that, I'll give your Su Family a big gift."

"Have you not been secretly planning to get that plot of land in the west of the city? I'll secure it for you."

He had originally planned to keep a lower profile.

But Su Muyue and the Su Family's attitude had left him deeply dissatisfied.

What was there to fear from a mere Tang Family?

If he were overseas, wiping out the Tang Family would take him no more than a single night!

Once, a powerful family with far more assets than the Tang Family had offended him.

The Dragon Soul Organization had sent only eight elite operatives.

In a single night, every last member of that family had been killed!

So from now on, he would gradually reveal his strength and take control of Suhang faster!

"Is something wrong with this guy's head?"

"Does anyone have the number for a mental hospital? Hurry up and have him admitted."

"I've never seen anyone brag this much in my life. Book the top floor of the Mingyue Hotel? Who do you think you are?"

"Haha, even our Su Family couldn't get that plot of land. If you can, I'll lick your shoes."

The Su Family members all laughed and mocked him.

They looked at Ye Chen as if he were a clown, convinced he had lost his mind.

Forget everything else. Just booking the top floor of the Mingyue Hotel was impossible!

The year before last, on Su Muyue's birthday,

Tang Yu, the eldest young master of the Tang Family, had gone to meet the owner of the Mingyue Hotel in person. He offered three hundred million to book the top floor and host a birthday banquet for Su Muyue!

With the Tang Family's influence and such an astronomical offer,

the Mingyue Hotel had still refused, clearly stating that they couldn't break the rules unless the Tang Family bought the hotel outright.

If even the Tang Family couldn't do it, what made him think he could?

Faced with everyone's mockery, Ye Chen merely gave a cold laugh.

He took the documents he had prepared from his pocket and tossed them to the Su Family members.

"Take a look at these documents, and you'll see whether I can do it."

Su Zhongshan caught the documents and glanced at them. He was instantly stunned.

They were confidential, officially stamped documents about the plot of land in the west of the city.

The documents also included information about two other plots the municipal government planned to develop in the second half of the year.

How had he gotten hold of such top-secret information?

When it came to doing big business, information was everything.

With this information alone, the Su Family could seize the initiative and make hundreds of billions in profit!

After the other Su Family members saw the documents, their gazes toward Ye Chen changed.

This man really might have connections that reached everywhere.

Could the Tang Family bring the Su Family benefits on this scale if they married into it?

From the standpoint of the family's interests, everyone's thoughts shifted in an instant.

Su Muyue, however, wasn't thinking about any of that. She had no interest in Ye Chen whatsoever!

But with Ye Chen making such a bold promise, this was a good chance to get rid of him for good.

So she said coldly,

"Fine. You said it yourself. If you can't do it, you're never allowed to bother me again!"

There was no way he could book the top floor of the Mingyue Hotel!

Once he broke his promise, he wouldn't have the nerve to keep pestering her anymore!

Even if he really did book it, she would still reject him!

"It's a deal."

Ye Chen nodded proudly, then looked at the Su Family members.

"With me as your son-in-law, the Su Family will become Suhang's second-greatest family!"

With that, he strode away.

As they watched him disappear into the distance, the Su Family members smiled broadly.

This really was a great chance to test his abilities.

If he could actually accomplish both things, then choosing a better son-in-law wouldn't be a bad idea.

After leaving the Su Family, Ye Chen hadn't gone far when a black Rolls-Royce pulled up in front of him.
