The woman surnamed Zhou was leading the way.
She was wearing a light blue evening gown, making her appear quite demure. Compared to He Jingyao’s vibrant features, the woman surnamed Zhou’s were merely ordinary.
From childhood, the two had been known as the Twin Beauties of Jiangcheng.
However, people had always associated that title more with the visibly more beautiful He Jingyao. This had led Miss Zhou to believe that she and He Jingyao were at odds.
Every time they attended a banquet, the two would be compared endlessly.
Especially the fact that Young Master Wang was infatuated with He Jingyao had turned the two into sworn enemies.
“Miss He, long time no see!”
“I heard your He family’s company ran into big trouble. I wonder if this news is true?”
“I heard your He family’s agents are no longer willing to represent your products?”
“In that case, doesn’t that mean your He company is on the verge of collapse?”
Miss Zhou covered her mouth, feigning surprise.
However, her clumsy acting struck He Jingyao and Ye Fei as rather amusing.
“Miss Zhou, you don’t need to concern yourself with our He family’s affairs.”
“Rest assured, our He family will never need to seek help from your Zhou family.”
“Since Miss Zhou has never managed a company, don’t speak nonsense here.”
“If you continue to damage our company’s reputation like this, I will pursue legal action against you!”
“And, one last thing.”
“I do not like your Young Master Wang, and I hope your Young Master Wang stays as far away from me as possible!”
“Did you hear me clearly?”
“Alright, I’ve said what I needed to say. Goodbye!”
After He Jingyao deftly dealt with Miss Zhou, she pulled Ye Fei to their seats.
“You are very good, He Jingyao. I hope you keep your word!”
“Let’s go!”
Time quietly advanced to half-past seven.
The banquet was about to begin.
After a series of speeches, the birthday star of the day finally made their appearance.
Following a round of thank-you remarks, the banquet officially commenced.
Ye Fei, who was already ravenous, began to eat with gusto.
After a few rounds of drinks, Ye Fei was feeling quite tipsy.
“I’m going to the restroom.”
Ye Fei announced and headed directly to the nearby restroom.
Having taken care of a personal matter, Ye Fei returned to his seat feeling relaxed.
However, He Jingyao, who had been sitting next to him, was nowhere to be found.
After inquiring around, a shy female server in the corner stammered that she had seen He Jingyao being led away by a man in a white suit.
Furthermore, she had reportedly been quite drunk at the time.
A man in a white suit – Ye Fei’s first thought was that scoundrel, Young Master Wang!
Sensing trouble, Ye Fei quickly scanned the area where Young Master Wang had been seated, and indeed, he was also gone!
Ye Fei’s breathing quickened, his heart filled with worry.
He immediately strode towards Young Master Wang’s cronies and, with a stern expression, grabbed one of them, a man with slicked-back hair and a black suit.
“Tell me, where did Young Master Wang go?”
“Did he take He Jingyao?”
“Speak quickly, or you’ll regret it!”
The man whose collar Ye Fei had grabbed showed no fear when questioned by Ye Fei, as he assumed Ye Fei wouldn't dare do anything to him in such a public place!
“I’m not telling you!”
“After tonight, that woman will be Young Master Wang’s woman!”
“Hahaha!”
The man with slicked-back hair completely disregarded Ye Fei, bursting into laughter.
“You’re asking for death!”
Ye Fei’s eyes sharpened, and he made several precise movements towards the man with slicked-back hair.
Instantly, the man began to sweat profusely, his face contorting.
“What did you do to me?”
“It hurts so much!”
“My whole body aches!”
“Kid, I won’t let you get away with this!”
The man with slicked-back hair, who had been boasting moments before, was rendered speechless by the pain caused by Ye Fei’s actions.
Ye Fei held the man in the black suit with one hand, his gaze so full of killing intent that the man couldn't help but shiver.
“I’ll count to three. If you still don’t tell me, this won’t be just a light punishment like before.”
“Let me tell you, even with your skills, going to the hospital won’t help!”
“Believe it or not, you won’t be able to find any problems at the hospital?”
“I don’t have much time to waste on you. If you don’t tell me her whereabouts immediately, you’ll stay like this forever!”
Ye Fei stood rigidly opposite the man with slicked-back hair, crushing a pair of chopsticks in his hand with a snap!
This immediately silenced anyone who might have considered speaking up for the man with slicked-back hair.
Gulp.
The man with slicked-back hair couldn’t help but swallow hard at the sight.
This was terrifying!
How much strength would it take to crush chopsticks like that!
“Esteemed young master, I, I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you!”
“Young Master Wang took He Jingyao to the top floor of this hotel.”
“It’s the room closest to the right!”
The man with slicked-back hair was close to tears.
Why had he crossed paths with this person!
“You’re wise to cooperate!”
Having obtained the information he wanted, Ye Fei wasted no more time. With two swift movements, he released the acupoints on the man.
Then, he headed towards the highest floor of the Cloud Top Hotel.
The elevator ascended rapidly, reaching the hotel’s top floor in no time.
Ye Fei rushed out and, following the information provided, went directly to the room on the far right.
With a loud bang, the sturdy room door was kicked open by Ye Fei.
The sight that greeted him was He Jingyao lying limply on the bed with her eyes closed, and Young Master Wang, wearing a bathrobe, lunging towards her!
“Beast!”
“You’re looking for death!”
Ye Fei’s anger surged, coupled with a sense of relief.
Thank goodness he had found her in time!
Otherwise, disaster would have struck!
“Brat, how did you find this place?”
“You’ve ruined my good deed again!”
“It seems I need to teach you a lesson today so you know your place!”
Young Master Wang immediately dialed a number.
A moment later, footsteps were heard outside the door.
“Young Master Wang, what are your orders?”
Three burly, muscle-bound men in black shirts arrived.
“Teach this kid a lesson, then tie him up and await my judgment!”
“Hurry, deal with him quickly!”
Young Master Wang, his mind preoccupied with the beautiful He Jingyao, spoke with great urgency.
“Hmph, just these three useless show-offs who can’t even take one of my moves?”
“It seems I need to let you know my strength!”
Ye Fei scoffed coldly.
“Kid, you’ve got a tough mouth!”
“It seems I have to tie your mouth shut as well!”
“Attack!”
Young Master Wang crossed his arms, eagerly anticipating Ye Fei’s pleas for mercy.
