Chapter 236: The Mood of the Grandson and the Dog
Ling Fan's slap not only stunned Ge Chengye but also everyone in the living room.
The first to be bewildered was Aunt Wang. Just moments ago, she had been delighting in the misfortune, praying that Young Master Ye would beat Ling Fan. Before she could get excited, Ge Chengye had been slapped away.
Who was Ge Chengye? He was practically a Crown Prince in Danyang. In his presence, she dared not even speak aloud.
It was said that a well-connected outsider had once come to Danyang to handle some affairs and accidentally offended Young Master Ye. The very next day, he was dumped into the river.
Watching Ge Chengye flying several meters, spitting blood and rolling on the ground, Aunt Wang's limbs turned ice cold. Where had the young mistress found this madman? Didn't she know this could kill someone? If things went wrong, even Shangguan Yue could be implicated!
Shangguan Yue and Li Shishi exchanged looks. They had been somewhat prepared, but seeing what unfolded before their eyes, they couldn't help but feel nervous and shaken.
Ge Chengye's status might not be exactly like the Prince of Hua Yi, but it was not far off. However, Hua Yi was across the river and sea, deep in enemy territory. That's why he ended up underperforming on Ling Fan's home turf in Binzhou.
Moreover, judging by the situation that day, the Xiangjiang Tang Family certainly would not let things rest; revenge was just a matter of time.
Now that Ling Fan had come to this place in Danyang, he was, after all, away from his home turf, and now he had also offended the local tyrant Ge Family. Both of them couldn't help but feel worried.
Previously, Li Shishi had asked Ling Fan to pretend to be her fake boyfriend just to deceive her parents and relatives and cut off their matchmaking intentions.
She wanted them to know she already had someone in mind and would fabricate a reason, saying she was already carrying Ling Fan's child, that the rice had already been cooked. She thought they would be helpless and would have to comply with her wishes.
She had never intended for Ling Fan to confront the Ge Family head-on; that was the worst-case scenario. She hadn't planned for things to escalate to this point.
She had intended to end the act and leave Danyang quickly with Ling Fan after the performance, and the Ge Family would naturally give up. Everything was supposed to go smoothly!
But now, Ge Chengye had messed up all her calculations.
Black Tiger, lying on the ground and seeing his boss being slapped away, was also unable to process it immediately. He had followed Ge Chengye for so long and had never encountered such an unbelievable scene, turning pale immediately!
Ge Chengye, covering half of his face and tasting the blood in his mouth, his mind buzzing, found it hard to accept the outcome!
In his chaotic thoughts, Ling Fan's domineering roar kept echoing, too arrogant, far too arrogant. As Ge Chengye's thoughts gradually returned, his face turned iron blue.
"Bastard, you dare hit me? Do you know who I am? No one can save you today, I will drown you in a pig cage!" Ge Chengye pointed at Ling Fan and snarled ferociously.
"Step, step, step…"
Ling Fan walked towards Ge Chengye step by step, his expression indifferent.
Seeing this, Ge Chengye suddenly snapped back to reality. He pointed at Ling Fan and couldn't help but shuffle backwards, trying to stay calm as he shouted, "What do you want to do? Do you know the consequences of offending me?"
Black Tiger, feeling gradually returning to half of his body, saw Ling Fan approaching Ge Chengye again, gritted his teeth, and abruptly got up, positioning himself in front of Ge Chengye.
"Although I'm not your match, if you want to touch the Second Master, you'll have to kill me first!" Black Tiger said firmly, supporting his half-arm.
"Get lost!" Ling Fan swung his hand and sent Black Tiger flying, though he did not hit him hard.
Standing in front of Ge Chengye, he looked down upon him from a higher position and disdainfully said, "Now you're in my hands and you still dare act all high and mighty?
I said earlier, anyone who pretends in front of me, no matter their identity, is either already repenting in Hell or on their way there. Did you think I was joking?"
With that, Ling Fan kicked Ge Chengye, sending him flying.
Ge Chengye, clutching his chest, curled up on the ground like a shrimp, the piercing pain making him feel as if his ribs had been broken by Ling Fan.
"Ling Fan!" Shangguan Yue was a bit scared, afraid that Ling Fan, in a moment of impulse, might kill the guy. Experience tales with My Virtual Library Empire
"That, Ling Fan, don't be rash, this guy's life isn't worth much, killing him isn't worth it, just let it go, a lesson should suffice!" Li Shishi pleaded from the side.
She didn't really want Ling Fan and the Ge Family to become sworn enemies. For some reason, Li Shishi felt an inexplicable concern for Ling Fan deep in her heart.
Lying on the ground, Ge Chengye heard Li Shishi's words, his eyes red with rage, as if a sharp knife was twisting in his heart.
"Dammit, my life isn't worth money? Not worth noticing? Just a lesson will suffice?
"Fuck this, do I, Ge Chengye, appear that worthless in your eyes?" Ge Chengye was furious to the extreme, almost spitting out a mouthful of old blood!
It felt like an unprecedented humiliation, as if his face were being heavily rubbed against the ground, his skin nearly worn away.
"Bastard, I'll make you die, if I don't tear you to pieces, then I damn well am not Ge Chengye!" Ge Chengye roared furiously in his heart, his eyes blood-red.
Ling Fan stood still, heard the pleas of the two women, slightly frowned, and spoke indifferently, "Three strikes, you've already pleaded for him twice just now. If it happens a third time, he can only be a dead man!"
At those words, Shangguan Yue and Li Shishi simultaneously trembled within, realizing Ling Fan might be a bit upset because of their pleading.
Indeed, it was Ge Chengye who kept provoking; they should have been standing on Ling Fan's side, yet they kept speaking for Ge Chengye!
But truly, they were just worrying about Ling Fan, how could he not understand their feelings!
Next to them, Aunt Wang had already become foolish, wondering what the background of the man the young lady had brought was; he was too fierce, daring to say that if not for their pleading, Ge Chengye would have been a dead man already?
At the same time, recalling what she had done, she couldn't help but shudder, trembling uncontrollably, her palms sweating!
However, Ge Chengye's heart was already on the verge of collapse. In his view, it was an immense humiliation, yet in Ling Fan's eyes, it was simply pleading?
This damn wasn't just humiliation, but outright contempt!
"That, Ling Fan, we're just worried about you, not really pleading for him!" Li Shishi couldn't help but explain.
Shangguan Yue also couldn't help nodding. Things had come to this point, and any effort to mitigate the conflict was futile. Faced with a choice, they definitely stood on Ling Fan's side!
Their explanation only made things worse; Ge Chengye nearly passed out, feeling that he had faced all the humiliation of the past twenty years in just one day!
At that moment, he finally understood the feelings of a grandchild and a dog, exactly what he was experiencing now.
However, what Ling Fan said next nearly made him break his steel teeth.
"You two are overthinking it, no need to worry about me, killing him is like slaughtering a dog, the Ge Family is nothing but a fart in my eyes!" Ling Fan glanced at the contorted face of Ge Chengye, scoffed disdainfully, and said coolly.
With those words, the people in the living room looked at each other.
Shangguan Yue, "....."
Li Shishi, "....."
