Chapter 254 - How Can Revenge Not Be Sought

On the sixth floor of the Emali Group building, Ye Fan entered an office of the Administrative Department.

Before anyone could react, he walked straight towards Yang Yongxi.

Yang Yongxi, seeing Ye Fan with a murderous look on his face, felt a “thunk” in his heart, and a strong sense of foreboding rose inside him.

He attempted to flatter Ye Fan with a guilty smile.

Ye Fan snorted contemptuously, stretched out his hand, and grabbed Yang Yongxi by the collar, lifting him into the air before striding out of the office.

“Smack!

Smack!

Smack!”

Without uttering a word, Ye Fan raised his hand and delivered three resounding slaps.

Yang Yongxi’s face immediately swelled up.

“Yang Yongxi, do you know why I hit you?” Ye Fan asked in a cold voice.

The shocked Su Meizhen, Xie Junru, Sun Dongwen, and others followed them out.

Yang Yongxi, terrified and with tears and snot all over his face, begged, “Brother Ye, I was forced, please let me go.”

“Let you go?

If I hadn’t had some skills, you would have already killed me!” Ye Fan snorted coldly, raised his right hand, and delivered several more loud slaps.

As Su Meizhen and others came to their senses, they ran over to pull Ye Fan back, advising, “Ye Fan, let’s talk this out, don’t fight.”

People from other offices, hearing the commotion, all ran out to watch.

Even people from other floors who received the news came down to join the crowd.

With the persuasion of Su Meizhen, Xie Junru, and others, Ye Fan threw Yang Yongxi aside.

Yang Yongxi quickly shrank back behind the crowd.

“Brother Ye, what on earth happened?” Xie Junru asked.

Ye Fan said coldly, “Yang Yongxi sold me out to the criminal underworld.

He almost got me killed!”

As soon as he said this, all the people present were in an uproar, turning their heads to look at Yang Yongxi.

Yang Yongxi hurriedly denied it, but everyone there was no fool.

They could tell he was lying and despised his character.

Although Yang Yongxi’s betrayal to Jiang Yingming didn’t cause him much trouble, Ye Fan detested being sold out.

He wouldn’t really do anything to Yang Yongxi, but he couldn’t swallow his pride if he didn’t publicly expose Yang Yongxi’s true face and let his infamy spread.

“Yang Yongxi, I didn’t expect you to be such a person.

Shame on you!

Brother Ye even invited you to dine out and sing KTV twice!” Xie Junru immediately scolded angrily, “Has your conscience been eaten by a dog?

You even harm your own colleagues!”

Su Meizhen, Sun Dongwen, and Zhang Liping also joined in, pointing fingers and cursing at Yang Yongxi.

Although Yang Yongxi intended to deny it till the end, his mouth had been forcefully slapped several times by Ye Fan.

Not only was his face swollen, but his mouth was puffed up too, making his speech unclear and leaving him unable to deny the accusations.

“I, I didn’t…” His voice came out muffled and inarticulate.

As more onlookers came over, Ye Fan, seeing his objective was mostly achieved, couldn’t be bothered to waste any more time on Yang Yongxi.

“Yang Yongxi, from now on, don’t let me see you again!” After making a threatening remark to Yang Yongxi, Ye Fan turned and left the scene, heading back to his office.

Upon entering his office and noticing Hu Jing was not there, Ye Fan couldn’t help but laugh, figuring that Hu Jing must have gone down to the sixth floor to join in on the commotion.

No wonder, with the new company being in a semi-halt state, Hu Jing was pretty much idle.

With such a big scene, it was certain she’d go take a look.

After a while, the door to the office was pushed open; Hu Jing came back.

“Ye Fan, I heard you almost got killed by Yang Yongxi, is that true?” Hu Jing asked, eager for gossip.

Ye Fan nodded slightly, replying, “Sort of.

There’s a criminal organization that wants to harm me, and Yang Yongxi, instead of telling me, secretly sent text messages to inform them of my whereabouts.”

“This Yang Yongxi is really rotten to the core, so despicable!

How can one feel safe working with someone like that?” Hu Jing said with disgust and disdain.

Then, concerned, she asked Ye Fan, “Are you alright?”

“Hehe, no worries.

I’ve only recently been discharged from the military, so when it comes to fighting, I’ve never been afraid of anyone,” Ye Fan said with a smile.

Hu Jing gave Ye Fan’s tall and robust figure an appraisal before nodding.

Then, she suddenly threw a coquettish glance at Ye Fan, giggling seductively, “Ye Fan, um, hehe, could you help me get some more front-row tickets to Shen Yan’s concert?

Please, hehe…”

Ye Fan felt embarrassed.

Even Hu the Demoness was willing to stoop so low for the sake of a few tickets, plastering on a grin for him.

“Why do you need so many tickets?” he asked a bit incredulously, “The concert is starting in just a few days; where could you still find front-row tickets?

I’m afraid even the back-row tickets are sold out.”

Hu Jing laughed in frustration, admitting, “You’re right, it’s indeed impossible to find a ticket for Yanyan’s concert at this time.”

After Hu Jing returned to her office, Ye Fan picked up his phone and began to compose a text message: “Su Meizhen, check what misdeeds Yang Yongxi has committed under your supervision.

I want to kick him out of Emali Group, not have him resign on his own!”

He then sent the message to Su Meizhen.

Holding the leverage of 50,000 yuan over Su Meizhen, and considering that Yang Yongxi truly wasn’t worthy of sympathy, Ye Fan supposed that Su Meizhen would do her utmost to fulfill his request.

Sure enough, it wasn’t long before Su Zhenmei replied to the message: “Okay, I will do my best to follow your instructions.”

In the Chairman and President’s office, after going out to get more details, Wang Siyan returned to report to Li Zhaojun: “Director Li, I’ve found out the whole story.

Ye Fan hit someone because an employee named Yang Yongxi betrayed his whereabouts to the black society, nearly getting him killed by them.”

“Is that so?” Li Zhaojun’s graceful eyebrows twitched slightly as she asked.

Wang Siyan replied respectfully, “It shouldn’t be a lie.

Ye Fan isn’t someone to beat someone up for no reason, and judging from Yang Yongxi’s demeanor afterward, it’s almost certain that it’s true.”

“Oh,” Li Zhaojun nodded slightly and instructed, “Go to the administrative department and hint to them to check if Yang Yongxi’s conduct at work has been clean.

Find an excuse to fire him.

Remember, if he submits a resignation, do not approve it.

The company must initiate the dismissal, and ensure that a stain is left on his record with the HR department.”

“Yes,” Wang Siyan replied crisply.

She felt not the slightest sympathy for the fate awaiting Yang Yongxi and even thought the punishment he was going to receive was too light.

After Wang Siyan left, Li Zhaojun thought to herself, “It seems I misunderstood him.”

Suddenly, she remembered the text message Ye Fan had sent her.

Immediately, she picked up her phone and found Ye Fan’s message, reading through it carefully, pondering, “Ye Fan has never messaged me before, nor even called me; then suddenly today, he sends a text.

Could it be that something really happened, and he discovered there’s a problem with Aunt Liao?”

“Yes, just now he went to fight Yang Yongxi, saying it was because Yang Yongxi betrayed his whereabouts to the black society.

That means Aunt Liao could very likely be involved!”

Thinking of this, she decided to interrogate the housekeeper, Aunt Liao, thoroughly after returning home from work.

Having made this decision, she immediately set aside the matter with Ye Fan and began pondering how to regain the patent for the “Ji Lung Purification Pills.”

She casually operated her computer, entering a well-known financial website, when suddenly a bold red headline caught her eye: “Tongyi Group’s stock price plummeted last night, suspected of being shorted by international bears!”

“This…” Li Zhaojun couldn’t help but stare at the headline, a look of surprise flashing across her face as she exclaimed excitedly, “There’s hope for my company!”

The next moment, an image of a certain carefree, playful smile she found annoying popped into her mind.

The owner of that smile had once said, “There are untold accidents in the skies, and people’s fortunes can change overnight.

Tongyi Group can’t expect smooth sailing forever either—something unpredictable might happen internally at any time.

Didn’t Emali Group’s stock also plummet suddenly a while ago?”

“How did he predict that Tongyi Group’s stock would crash?”

“Last Friday, when he and I were on rather tense terms, he still kept urging me to sue Haihua University Biomedical Research Institute in court this Monday or Tuesday.”

“Is it possible that he’s behind the crash of Tongyi Group’s stock?”

“Impossible!

He doesn’t even amount to a wastrel, and Tongyi Group is listed in the United States on NASDAQ—he doesn’t have the power to attack Tongyi Group’s stock!”

“It must be a coincidence!”
