Li Zhaohui continued.
"This Ye Yun fellow, he has a wife who's quite the looker. Tsk tsk, Wang Hailin, Lin Shiyou, I honestly never imagined you two could be such failures."
"In our circles, if we're going to play, we go for movie stars. Even if that's not possible, you'd at least hook up with a young model or a college student. You guys actually set your sights on a pathetic gambler."
"To get his wife, you even addressed him as 'Mr. Ye.' How utterly embarrassing."
With that, Li Zhaohui glanced at Ye Yun, his tone provocative.
"Kid, I'll give you a chance. Hand your wife over to me for a bit, and I won't be stingy with my rewards, how about it?"
Li Zhaohui felt a surge of excitement.
He said this partly to mock Wang Hailin and Lin Shiyou.
On the other hand, he had a secret known to many.
He enjoyed being a "Cao Cao" – a term for a man who lusts after other men's wives, especially those who have given birth.
This was precisely why Baldy had specifically mentioned Li Mengyao's situation.
A cold glint flashed in Ye Yun's eyes.
He hadn't expected Li Zhaohui, that mad dog, to target him.
In truth, even if Li Zhaohui had insulted him directly, Ye Yun wouldn't have been as enraged.
But!
Insulting Li Mengyao was absolutely unacceptable!
As for Lin Shiyou and Wang Hailin standing nearby, they immediately panicked.
Oh no!
Who was Mr. Ye?
A master of metaphysics!
Damn it, if Mr. Ye suspected they had approached him with the foolish idea of coveting his wife...
Speaking of which, Li Zhaohui stroked his chin, a lewd smile appearing on his face.
"However, Baldy just mentioned your wife is a top-tier beauty. If she could give me some pleasure, perhaps we could arrange something."
"I'll fuck your entire ancestry! Li Zhaohui, I admit I'm a failure, but I'm still better than you and your father sharing the same woman!"
At this point, Wang Hailin could no longer hold back, roaring in anger.
Li Zhaohui, who had been in control until now, his expression immediately changed.
This was a notorious joke within their circle, a taboo for Li Zhaohui!
However, he quickly regained his composure, his resilience clearly superior to Wang and Lin's.
With a cold sneer, Li Zhaohui said.
"Talking to you pathetic losers is a waste of time. Hey, you there, if you want to sell your wife, you can contact Baldy."
With that, he jabbed his thumb down aggressively towards Ye Yun and the other two, then turned to leave.
From start to finish, he had not addressed Ye Yun by name.
"Damn it! One day, I'll kill him!"
Watching Li Zhaohui's retreating back, Lin Shiyou spat venomously.
Ye Yun's eyes narrowed, growing increasingly dangerous.
A dragon has its inverse scales; touch them and you die.
Ye Yun's inverse scales were Li Mengyao and Keke.
Now that Li Zhaohui had touched them, he was doomed.
"You mentioned earlier that this guy is from Haixin Group?" Ye Yun asked.
"Yes," Wang Hailin sighed. At his age, he wasn't as volatile as Lin Shiyou, and he explained.
"He's the crown prince of Haixin Group. His family made their fortune in steel. His wealth isn't less than Shiyou's. But if it were just that, he wouldn't dare provoke me. The problem is, his maternal grandfather's status isn't lower than my old man's."
"And, he hasn't retired yet!"
The difference in influence between someone who hadn't retired and someone who had was worlds apart.
However, after confirming Li Zhaohui's identity from Haixin Group and seeing the previous "Brother Baldy," Ye Yun smirked.
In his past life, Haixin Group had indeed been incredibly powerful.
The Li family's influence had been unrivaled for a time.
But their downfall was also swift.
The reason was simple: Li Zhaohui's maternal grandfather was the protective umbrella for "Xian Shang Ren Jian."
And after Wu Qian's incident led to the exposure of "Xian Shang Ren Jian," Li's grandfather was quickly apprehended.
Following that, Haixin Group's top brass either fled or were arrested.
Haixin Group declined at an unimaginable speed.
A gentleman seeks revenge over ten years; it's not too late.
A villain seeks revenge overnight; it's too long!
Ye Yun considered himself no gentleman; gentlemen in this era were likely eaten down to the bone.
He hadn't expected Li Zhaohui to be the crown prince of Haixin Group!
"Mr. Lin, why does Li Zhaohui hate you so much?" Ye Yun asked, his mind settling, curiosity piqued.
After all, anyone could see that Li Zhaohui's targeting of Lin Shiyou was obvious.
"Hmph, that guy's an idiot too! Damn it, Mr. Ye, you don't know, this isn't a secret in the Jinling circle anymore."
"This guy got involved with his father's mistress, and he even used some underhanded tactics! Originally, not many people knew about it; only he and his father knew. But since father and son shared a woman, and it wasn't honorable, they sent the woman away."
"The real fun came later. That woman later became a second-tier celebrity, and by chance, I hooked up with her. That's when I exposed the whole thing!"
Ye Yun: "..."
Lin Shiyou beamed with pride.
"I've always disliked Li Zhaohui. Back then, I even got five cars, hung banners that read 'Father and Son Share One Woman,' and parked them in front of Haixin Group for a whole week. It almost got Li Zhaohui's legs broken by his father on the spot!"
Ye Yun stared, dumbfounded.
Indeed, a foolish son of a landlord.
He had truly made an implacable enemy!
No wonder Li Zhaohui had mocked Lin Shiyou so much earlier, and incidentally insulted Wang Hailin and Ye Yun as well.
So, he was just collateral damage.
Wang Hailin spoke slowly.
"There's even more exciting stuff..."
"Oh?" Even Ye Yun, who usually disliked gossip, was interested.
At this moment, the landlord's foolish son wore a smile as bright as a flower, and Ye Yun even found it somewhat wicked...
