The young man in the black shirt was indeed one of Liu Zhendong’s men, and he had seen Ye Cangtian more than once.
The last time was at Jinxiu Villa, and then again when Ba Tianhu caused a ruckus at the seaside teahouse; he had been behind Liu Zhendong then.
Therefore, he was acutely aware of Ye Cangtian's strength. He was a person who could easily defeat the four top experts of Ba Tianhu!
Furthermore, following Liu Zhendong, he had repeatedly heard Liu Zhendong and Liu Rumei speak of this Mr. Ye with great respect.
This was precisely why the young man in the black shirt felt such immense pressure standing there.
It wasn't just the pressure; his back felt cold, and sweat was constantly beading on his forehead.
"Hui... Brother Hui!" the punk saw the young man in the black shirt's expression change and was about to ask.
But in the next moment, he was slapped by the young man in the black shirt. "You motherfucker, do you have any idea what kind of trouble you've caused?"
The slap was forceful, sending the punk staggering back two steps. Two of his already broken front teeth flew out.
Blood continuously flowed from the gaps where his teeth had been, leaving the punk stunned.
The young man in the black shirt, enraged, kicked him several times fiercely, causing the punk to wail incessantly.
"Do you know who you've offended? That's Mr. Ye! Even Brother Dong and Big Sister show him great respect. What are you, a nobody!"
Hearing this, the blood-soaked punk fell into despair.
The young man in the black shirt turned, walked up to Ye Cangtian, and said respectfully, "I apologize for the trouble this has caused Mr. Ye. How you wish to deal with this fellow is entirely up to you, Mr. Ye!"
"They are your people, so you should handle them yourselves!" Ye Cangtian said.
The young man in the black shirt hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Then I'll take them back, and Brother Dong can decide?"
Ye Cangtian smiled and nodded slightly.
Although every faction had such black sheep, it wasn't bad for these punks to receive some punishment.
Soon, a group of people took away the punks from before.
Behind them, the girl watched Ye Cangtian's retreating back with curiosity. She had thought there was going to be a fight just moments ago, but the other party was so respectful to this Big Brother Ye.
She was curious, and this Big Brother Ye, who had saved her twice, seemed to be growing more mysterious in her heart.
Seeing the group leave, Ye Cangtian turned and smiled at the girl, "Alright, it's not safe on the roads at night. Take a taxi home!"
Just then, a taxi drove by, and he hailed it, letting the girl get in to go home.
As the girl got into the car and it started to move, she couldn't help but look back at Ye Cangtian. He waved at her.
Thinking that this might be the last time they saw each other, the girl said to the window, "Thank you, Big Brother Ye! My name is Li Ya..."
The taxi sped away down the road.
Ye Cangtian naturally heard the voice from the taxi, but it was moving too fast, and he didn't hear the rest.
He muttered with a wry smile, "She's quite a well-behaved girl. What was her name again, Li… something?"
Ye Cangtian shook his head. Never mind! It was unlikely they would meet again.
He hoped she wouldn't encounter any more danger in the future.
...
The next morning!
As soon as Ye Cangtian arrived at the company with Tang Xinwan, he received a call from Liu Zhendong.
It was clear that Liu Zhendong knew about what happened last night and was worried Ye Cangtian might be angry. Hence, he called to apologize.
As for those punks, their hands and feet had been broken, and they had been thrown out.
Ye Cangtian found this somewhat amusing.
Of course, these individuals were bullies and had behaved so atrociously towards ordinary girls. Such scoundrels deserved no sympathy for being crippled.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Cangtian went to the security booth. Li Dazhuang grinned honestly, "Big Brother is here?"
Ye Cangtian smiled and nodded, "Dazhuang, are you used to living at the company?"
Since Li Dazhuang had no place to live, he had been staying at the company for the past few days. Although the security office had a simple resting room, it was quite basic.
Li Dazhuang chuckled, "Big Brother, I'm used to it. Everyone takes good care of me, and it doesn't cost anything to stay at the company."
Ever since Ye Cangtian introduced Li Dazhuang, he had spoken to Old Zhang and the other security guards.
So, even though Li Dazhuang was honest and somewhat simple-minded, no one made things difficult for him.
As they were chatting, Tang Xiaowu drove up to the company.
Li Dazhuang honestly asked, "Big Brother, should I still stop him?"
"Let him in."
Ye Cangtian said with a wry smile, then explained, "This kid will be working at the company from now on, so you don't need to stop him."
"Oh!" Li Dazhuang raised the barrier and let him pass.
Not long after!
After parking his car, Tang Xiaowu walked over listlessly, carrying a briefcase, his face a picture of misery as he looked at Ye Cangtian.
"Brother-in-law, I'm so miserable! My cousin doesn't treat me like a person. I'm suffering too much!"
"Oh, come on!"
Ye Cangtian lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and said dismissively, "What's so miserable about being a salesman? I'm here working as a security guard and I'm not complaining!"
Tang Xiaowu rolled his eyes. Was that considered being a security guard?
He wandered around the company all day, often going to the sales department to chat with pretty girls, or sleeping in his cousin's office.
You're a security guard? You're the patron of the company, aren't you?
Seeing his unhappy expression, Ye Cangtian patted his shoulder and sighed.
"Xiaowu, your sister is doing this for your own good. This Haitan Pharmaceuticals might be yours in the future. Your sister is cultivating you!"
Hearing this, Tang Xiaowu quickly waved his hands, "Brother-in-law, don't try to trick me. I have no ambitions for Haitan Pharmaceuticals."
This kid actually thought I was setting a trap for him!
Ye Cangtian couldn't help but smile, then continued, "Then let's not talk about Haitan Pharmaceuticals. You are the only male heir of the Tang family. Will the Tang family's business belong to you in the future? If you don't grow, how will you take over the family business?"
Tang Xiaowu was taken aback. He felt that what his brother-in-law said made a lot of sense. So, in the future, he would have the final say in the entire Tang family?
"Alright, it's almost time for work. Think about what I've said carefully when you have time!" Ye Cangtian patted his shoulder.
"Oh, I understand. Thank you, brother-in-law!" Tang Xiaowu turned and walked towards the company building, still feeling a bit dazed.
Brother-in-law's words made sense. It seemed he shouldn't be so decadent anymore.
Watching the boy leave, looking somewhat enlightened, Ye Cangtian exhaled a smoke ring and sighed, "This kid, truly pitiful!"
Not long after, another call came in.
Ye Cangtian saw that it was Xu Weiwei calling.
"I've found out some information about Li Ya for you. She's a third-year student in the Management department at Yangzhou University..."
