Chapter 51 - As If Nothing Happened

Leaving the room, Fang Nanxiang and Ye Chenfeng split up to act separately, with Ye Chenfeng heading towards Zhao Wanting’s room, and Fang Nanxiang towards the room of Zhao Qihua and his wife.Rage blazed fiercely within Ye Chenfeng’s heart as he moved stealthily along the wall.

As he rounded a corner, he suddenly came across two armed men standing at Zhao Wanting’s door.

The moment Ye Chenfeng spotted them, they also noticed him.

They raised their guns and fired in his direction.

Ye Chenfeng threw himself to the ground and, while rolling, aimed his machine gun at the two men, firing without wasting a single bullet, executing two headshots in rapid succession.

The foreheads of the two men burst open in a spray of blood, their eyes wide, as if they couldn’t believe that they were dying in this final moment.

The gunshots in the hallway alerted Wan Kai inside the room.

However, he didn’t exit the room but instead shouted loudly, “What’s happening out there?”

The answer was a loud “bang” from a fierce kick.

Ye Chenfeng kicked the door open and entered the room.

With cold eyes, he confronted the somewhat caught-off-guard Wan Kai, asking, “Was it you who crushed my Yun Teng Mushrooms?” Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn Novᴇ(l)Fɪre .ɴᴇt

Wan Kai remained composed.

He had witnessed Ye Chenfeng’s formidable skills, and without any warning, his hands, cuffed behind his back, drew a small handgun from his waist and said, “Ye Chenfeng, so what if I crushed those mushrooms you bought?” He needed to buy time and distract Ye Chenfeng, searching for an opportunity to take a shot and finish him off.

Zhao Wanting, who had been struggling, let out a sigh of relief at the sight of Ye Chenfeng.

Her face showed an indescribable expression.

Given a choice, she would rather have given her first time to Ye Chenfeng!

At least, Ye Chenfeng, as a man, made her feel at ease.

She even felt a slight affection for Ye Chenfeng, which was far better than Wan Kai, a brute in human skin.

Ye Chenfeng’s icy gaze caused Wan Kai to feel a chill in his heart.

As Wan Kai’s hand holding the pistol swung forward, Ye Chenfeng also made his move.

With a “bang,” he delivered a kick straight to Wan Kai’s chest.

The pistol fell from Wan Kai’s hand, and he was sent flying backward, slamming hard against the wall.

A sweet taste filled his throat as blood sprayed from his mouth.

Wan Kai’s forehead vein throbbed, and his thoughts became jumbled.

He hastily begged, “Don’t kill me, don’t kill me.

I can give you money, a lot of it.

I’ve only crushed a few of your mushrooms, that’s all.”

Ye Chenfeng said coldly, “In my eyes, your life isn’t even worth the mushrooms you speak of.”

With a single gunshot, Wan Kai’s groin became a bloody mess.

It seemed likely he would spend the rest of his life as a eunuch.

Ye Chenfeng guessed that Wan Kai was just a minor character in the Zhaos’ affair, and he still needed to extract valuable information from him.

Originally, he wouldn’t have concerned himself with it, but with the Yun Teng Mushrooms destroyed, the fury in his heart demanded release.

Before Wan Kai could even cry out in pain, he lost consciousness.

Ye Chenfeng strode over, grabbed Wan Kai by the clothes, hoisting him into the air, then delivered a powerful kick to his stomach.

Wan Kai was kicked out of the room like a football.

After calming the fury in his heart slightly, Ye Chenfeng finally noticed Zhao Wanting, bound hand and foot.

He hurried over to untie her.

Seeing Ye Chenfeng victorious, Zhao Wanting could no longer control her feelings and collapsed into Ye Chenfeng’s arms, gasping, “Chenfeng, they’ve drugged me with so much!”

The medicinal effects had fully manifested, and if it had been a bit earlier, Ye Chenfeng might still have been able to expel the effects from Zhao Wanting’s body.

But now, there was no time left, and if things continued as they were, Zhao Wanting would die of a ruptured blood vessel.

A wry smile crept across Ye Chenfeng’s mind.

Could it be that Zhao Wanting would be the first woman in his life after rebirth?

He had never imagined such a thing happening.

This truly seemed like a cruel twist of fate.

“Chenfeng, I, I——” Zhao Wanting’s reason had been thoroughly devoured by the medicinal effects.

“Ye Chenfeng, you’re trying to save someone, what are you hesitating for?” Ye Chenfeng muttered to himself.

In truth, he wasn’t really inclined to do ‘that’ right now; wasn’t this all out of sheer helplessness?

If the vast male population of Huaxia Country knew what Ye Chenfeng was currently thinking, they would drown him in their spit.

Wasn’t this clearly acting coy after taking advantage?

Ye Chenfeng wasted no more words; it looked like Zhao Wanting couldn’t hold on much longer.

Fang Nanxiang, who had just arrived at the doorway, saw the resolved situation with Wan Kai and others, and hearing the sounds coming from inside the room, he could guess what had happened even if he thought with his butt.

His face remained expressionless as he silently left.

When the commotion inside the room died down, Zhao Wanting lay on Ye Chenfeng’s chest.

She couldn’t muster any strength in her body at the moment and could only pretend to be asleep with her eyes closed.

Ye Chenfeng was quite embarrassed as well, with Zhao Wanting lying on his chest; it wasn’t appropriate for him to just leave now, and he didn’t know what to do in the moment.

It wasn’t until Zhao Wanting regained some strength in her body that she immediately moved away from Ye Chenfeng’s chest and hurriedly got dressed.

As she dressed, Ye Chenfeng also put on his own clothes.

After both were dressed, they glanced at each other.

Zhao Wanting’s cheeks blushed deeply, and they both said simultaneously, “You…”

“You go first.” They spoke at the same time again.

“I…” Once again, they coincided perfectly.

“About what just happened, I will…”

Ye Chenfeng hadn’t finished speaking when Zhao Wanting cut him off, “You don’t have to take responsibility for me, what you did was to save me.

Let’s just pretend nothing happened.”

Ye Chenfeng had actually wanted to say “I will take responsibility for you,” but who knew Zhao Wanting would say such a thing?

Could there really be such good fortune under heaven where one could eat without paying and leave without a care?

However, Ye Chenfeng was not a freeloader; since he was responsible for what had happened, he would take it upon himself.

He still had that sense of duty that a man should have.
