Ye Tian smiled and said, "I'll show you later, but do you believe me now?"
Zhou Yan nodded quickly, "I do!"
Senior Zhou was already stunned, muttering, "Impossible, how can a human unleash such terrifying power?"
Liu Mingjian looked as if he had seen a ghost and instinctively retreated a few steps, saying, "Did you use some kind of prop?"
Ye Tian didn't bother talking to him further. He took a step forward, and Liu Mingjian suddenly saw an abyss appear before him, filled with countless hungry ghosts and skeletons, terrifying to behold. He screamed in fright, collapsing to the ground, wetting his pants, and a puddle of yellow liquid flowed onto the floor.
Ye Tian withdrew his divine sense and said calmly, "Young Master Liu, how do you feel? Do you still doubt me?"
Liu Mingjian was already trembling with fear, his mouth quivering, unable to utter a single word.
Ye Tian smiled and said, "Uncle Zhou, don't worry, with me here, Zhou Yan will be fine. By the way, I have other engagements, I'll be back later." With that, he left, holding Han Lingyan's arm.
Han Lingyan said, "Ye, you're taking on two jobs at once, that's too much." She was undoubtedly referring to Ye Tian helping Zhou Yan.
Ye Tian replied, "It's all fake anyway, what's a few more or less? And I'm not affecting your plans, am I?"
Han Lingyan snorted, "I'm telling you, my mother is also here. She's dining in the next private room with her friends. You, you have to come with me."
Upon hearing that he had to meet Han Lingyan's mother, Ye Tian protested, "You didn't mention this project before!"
Han Lingyan tightly hugged his arm, "If you don't go, I'll tell Zi Yi that you're meeting an old flame from middle school."
Ye Tian sneered, "Zi Yi knows everything about me, say whatever you want."
Since the hard approach didn't work, Han Lingyan resorted to the soft approach, shaking Ye Tian's arm as she pleaded, "Please, Ye Tian, I'm Zi Yi's best friend, you have to help me."
Ye Tian sighed, "If I had known, I wouldn't have come. Be good, and stop hugging my arm."
On the other side, Zhou Yan's family of three had just recovered their senses. Liu Mingjian, due to extreme embarrassment, had already left.
Senior Zhou said, "Yan'er, I think what Ye Tian said might be true. You might be in danger now. But how did this kid become so mysterious after not seeing him for years?"
Zhou Yan replied, "Dad, I've been wanting to tell you, but you never give me a chance to speak. Ye Tian is now the boss of Baozhi Company, with assets in the hundreds of billions. Even if your daughter wanted to be his girlfriend, he might not even want her."
Senior Zhou was greatly surprised, "What? You're saying he's the boss of Baozhi Company?"
Zhou Yan confirmed, "Absolutely true. I haven't contacted him in a long time. Today, someone suddenly pulled me into the middle school alumni group, and I happened to see them discussing this matter."
Senior Zhou lamented, "You can't judge a book by its cover. Did I make the wrong choice back then?"
Zhou Yan smiled, "Dad, what's right or wrong? Isn't it good for me now?"
Mother Zhou asked, "Yan'er, is there still a possibility between you two?"
Zhou Yan replied, "What possibility? Ye Tian already has a girlfriend. I looked for him today to ask for his help, and I didn't expect him to discover that I was in danger. Sigh, I can't understand him anymore."
Senior Zhou nodded, "Yes. Yan'er, given Ye Tian's current status, he shouldn't be lying to us. Let's trust him for now, and you should listen to him."
Zhou Yan smiled, "I know. By the way, Dad, your company is currently having problems, right? Do you want me to ask Ye Tian to help you?"
Senior Zhou shook his head, "Forget it. I'll handle my company's affairs myself. It's not good to trouble others too much."
Zhou Yan replied, "Alright."
On the other side, Ye Tian accompanied Han Lingyan around the banquet venue a few times, making his formal appearance.
Just then, a man and a woman walked towards them. The man was around forty, and the woman was twenty-one or twenty-two. Her looks were an eight, and with her makeup, at least a nine.
Seeing this woman, Han Lingyan's expression changed slightly, and she immediately turned away, seemingly not wanting to meet her.
