Captain, Don't Be Reckless—I'm Afraid You'll Get Beaten to Death

Everyone in the Tang Family looked furious upon hearing that.

Su Muyue even broke out in goosebumps, nearly spraying out her breakfast.

Damn it, that look in his eyes—he was a walking grease slick.

"I'm asking you one last time. Are you leaving or not?"

Su Muyue snapped.

"If you don't leave, I won't leave."

Ye Chen was resolute, refusing to go no matter what.

As the Dragon King, his possessiveness was extremely strong. He would never allow his woman to remain in a fiery pit like the Tang Family!

"Damn it, I've had enough."

At this moment, the Tang Family's head bodyguard, He Jin, could no longer endure it.

He clenched his fists and was about to rush forward when Tang Yu stopped him again and advised him.

"Captain He, don't be impulsive. It's my grandfather's birthday today. It wouldn't be good if someone died."

"Young Master, don't worry. I won't beat him to death," He Jin promised, his eyes red.

"I'm afraid... you'll be beaten to death. This guy's an expert," Tang Yu said in a lowered voice.

He Jin froze, then said emotionally,

"Thank you for your concern, Young Master. I've received the Tang Family's kindness for so many years. I'll repay it even if it means laying down my life—I'll never stand by and watch the Tang Family continue to be humiliated!"

Damn it, if you die, fine—but after this bastard beats you to death, I'll be next!

Is everyone here out of their minds today? Why do they insist on provoking him?

Tang Yu was already completely miserable.

Was being a villain really this hard?

The Su Family members were now hopping mad with rage.

One of their own lowly bodyguards had publicly caused trouble—wasn't that pushing the Su Family straight into a pit of fire?

Furious beyond measure, Su Zhongshan rushed over and shoved Ye Chen hard.

Yet Ye Chen stood there as immovable as a mountain, and Su Zhongshan could not budge him.

Beside himself with rage, Su Zhongshan punched Ye Chen in the face and roared,

"You dog, get the hell out! Stop pestering my daughter! I only have one son-in-law in this life, and that's Tang Yu! If you keep harassing her, my Su Family will never let you off!"

The punch did little damage, but its humiliation value was immense.

A dense killing intent flashed through Ye Chen's eyes.

But considering that Su Zhongshan was his future father-in-law, he merely recited two words in his heart.

"Endure!"

That was right. The most important thing for a Dragon King was learning to endure!

With a cold face, he said, "Since I'm not welcome here, then I'll leave."

After saying that, he shot Tang Yu a look filled with venomous hatred.

This brat had deliberately refused to step forward, letting the Su Family deal with him instead. What a calculation! He clearly wanted to use the Su Family to force Su Muyue into submission!

The humiliation he suffered today would one day be repaid by him and the Tang Family tenfold in blood!

"Muyue, remember this. No matter what happens in the future, as long as you need me, I will appear by your side and protect you."

Leaving those words behind, Ye Chen strode away.

You're really a goddamn lunatic. What the hell does this have to do with me?

So you're determined to make trouble for me, huh? I understand that you two are deeply in love, but you can't play it like this.

I'm begging you, Su Muyue—hurry up and leave with your husband. The kind who can carry a high-speed train on his shoulders as he walks.

Seeing the look in Ye Chen's eyes before he left, Tang Yu cursed furiously in his heart.

Su Muyue beside him was also seething with anger.

She had listened to this guy muttering for half the day, calling Ye Chen her husband over and over.

Unable to swallow her anger, she walked over to Tang Yu and kissed him on the face.

She would just treat it as kissing a dog.

Fortunately, Tang Yu was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He swiftly blocked his face with his hand, and Su Muyue's kiss landed on the back of his hand instead!

Holy shit, you're that vicious? You actually tried to kiss me?

Good thing I'm one step ahead of you. If I'd let you have your way, would I still have a way out today?

The two glared at each other, while the guests burst into wild laughter at the comical scene.

Ye Chen, who had just reached the doorway, heard the cheers and looked back. His eyes instantly widened until they nearly split apart!

His woman was actually kissing another man?

Even if she had only kissed the back of his hand!

The guests' laughter further grated on his nerves.

He clenched his fists tightly, but in the end, he did not go back to begin a massacre.

Because he knew that Su Muyue must have done this only to endure humiliation and seek compromise.

She was protecting him from the Tang Family.

After all, she did not know his identity or strength as the Dragon King.

But now was not the time to reveal his identity!

He still needed to remain undercover and slowly investigate the Truth behind his family's extermination all those years ago!

Ye Chen took a deep breath and walked out of the Tang Family with hatred in his heart.

The Tang Family no longer had any reason to exist!

After the banquet ended, the Su Family members went to apologize to the Tang Family one after another.

Tang Yu sat on the sofa with the expression of someone whose life had been thoroughly ruined, contemplating existence.

"Dog System, are you screwing with me? Why is today's plot different from what we agreed on?"

He cursed inwardly.

In the original plot, Su Muyue should have looked down on him, her bootlicker, with utter disdain.

But there was clearly something wrong with Su Muyue today! Her IQ had obviously risen by a whole lot!

To protect her Dragon King, she had actually been willing to make such a huge sacrifice?

Seeing Ye Chen's shocked and furious look as he left, Tang Yu knew that Ye Chen definitely would not let him off.

"Pfft... Perhaps it's the butterfly effect caused by the host altering the plot."

The system replied.

"What are you laughing at?"

"I remembered something happy."

"Happy my ass. Give me my reward."

Tang Yu gritted his teeth. This Dog System was becoming more and more toxic.

"Ding. Host successfully survived the first plot segment. Reward: one Lamborghini Veneno, now available in the garage. Please collect it."

After the system's voice rang out, an extra car key appeared in Tang Yu's pocket.

He took out the key and glanced at it, instantly feeling too powerless even to complain.

Damn it, other than money, my family has nothing but money. What use is this thing to me?

"Tell me, has the plot fallen apart already?"

Tang Yu asked again.

"If you insist on asking, I can only say: no comment."

"???"

Tang Yu simply gave up trying to communicate with this beast of a system.

This damn thing was here solely to screw him over.

Still, surviving the birthday banquet meant he had temporarily muddled through one segment of the plot.

Just as he was about to consider his next plan, Mother Tang, Xie Hongying, walked over.

"Why are you still standing around here? Muyue is leaving. Aren't you going to see her off?"

"Let her go."

Tang Yu wished that woman would hurry up and leave.

If she had not refused to follow the plot today, he would already be enjoying life in peace by now.

"Are you still angry with the Su Family? They really didn't handle today's matter well. They actually let a little bodyguard come out and make trouble."

Mother Tang frowned.

"Yes, yes, yes. It wasn't merely rude—it was simply rude."

Tang Yu's eyes lit up at those words. He quickly grabbed Mother Tang's arm and urged,

"Mom, we can't just let this go. In my opinion, we should call off this engagement. Otherwise, if word gets out, where will the Tang Family's face go?"

He rejoiced inwardly.

As expected of his biological mother—she understood him so well.

The Tang Clan! A century of honor! How could they back down so easily?

Mother Tang lightly tapped Tang Yu on the forehead and smiled.

"Mom has seen how you feel about Muyue. Our Tang Family doesn't care about losing this little bit of face. Your happiness is what matters most."

"Muyue truly is a good girl. If you two are together, she'll definitely be a virtuous wife who supports you from within."

Seeing that Tang Yu still wanted to speak, Mother Tang simply stood up and said,

"Enough, stop pretending. Mom understands your little thoughts. Mom wishes you two happiness. And remember to visit Old Master Wang at the Wang Family this afternoon."

With that, she strode away, leaving Tang Yu with a bewildered expression.

This life was truly criminal—more and more worthy of a sentence.
