His words were blunt and effective.
Coupled with that malicious tone and mocking expression.
Even the most naive person could hear the hidden meaning in Wang Tao's words.
This wasn't just humiliating Chen Yinuo.
It was also humiliating Ye Chen!
"Don't listen to his nonsense. You know about the contract. He just can't stand seeing me get promoted, that's why he's fabricating things to slander me!"
In a subconscious, instinctive reaction, Chen Yinuo grew more anxious as she explained to Ye Chen.
By this time, the people around had all turned their gazes towards them.
The looks directed at Chen Yinuo were all filled with a sense of intrigue.
"Can't stand seeing you get promoted? I, a dignified Deputy General Manager, would care about your promotion? Could it be you can threaten me?" Wang Tao sneered.
He seemed to have already envisioned the scene of Ye Chen flying into a rage, violently attacking Chen Yinuo, and cursing her.
Yes, this was exactly what he hoped to see.
However.
Ye Chen, however, acted as if nothing was wrong.
First, he gave Chen Yinuo a slight smile.
Then he looked at Wang Tao.
"Wang Zong, right? What do you mean?"
The anticipated scene did not play out.
Wang Tao, however, was left bewildered by Ye Chen's words.
What do I mean?
You still can't tell?
Are you pretending to be stupid or genuinely stupid?
"I've spelled it out this clearly? You still don't understand? I said you've been cuckolded, do you understand cuckolded? It means you're wearing a dazzling green hat on your head, do you get it? Your wife cuckolded you for a promotion, achieving several levels of advancement in her career, do you understand?"
Wang Tao laughed coldly without restraint.
From what he'd heard, Ye Chen was a useless, cowardly, rotten gambler, which was why he had dared to brazenly lust after Chen Yinuo before, certain that such a spineless, cowardly gambler would never dare to cause him trouble.
Now, it was the same!
Even though he was explicitly humiliating the other party, he didn't believe a useless, cowardly gambler would dare to do anything to him.
"Heh..."
Ye Chen seemed unfazed, his lips curling into a slight smile.
The next second.
He suddenly raised his hand and swung a resounding slap across Wang Tao's face.
Smack!
It was crisp and loud!
And that wasn't all.
After delivering one slap.
Ye Chen then delivered a vicious kick towards his bulging beer belly.
Watching Wang Tao cry out in pain and stumble back several steps.
Instantly, Chen Yinuo was dumbstruck!
In the past, whenever she was harassed, Ye Chen would not only bury his head like an ostrich, not daring to say a word, but instead, after returning home, he would beat and kick her, committing domestic violence.
Now, he was actually showing such a masculine and tough side?
Was this still that useless, timid beast?
"You motherf..."
Wang Tao covered his stinging right cheek in disbelief.
He had considered all sorts of scenarios that might occur.
The only possibility he hadn't considered was being hit by Ye Chen.
In an instant, boundless rage surged wildly.
However, before he could pounce on Ye Chen.
The latter had already moved first, closing in on him.
Quickly reaching out and directly grabbing his neck.
"You should be grateful it's a harmonious society now!"
After saying this grimly.
Ye Chen bent his knee and struck his abdomen again.
Thud.
As Ye Chen let go at the same time.
Under the heavy blow to his abdomen, Wang Tao collapsed to his knees.
"You, you..."
Looking at Ye Chen, Chen Yinuo's first reaction wasn't fear, not fear that his actions would cause trouble.
Instead, she felt an unprecedented sense of security.
Her pretty face trembling, at this moment Chen Yinuo looked at the incredibly unfamiliar Ye Chen, her voice shaking, unable to speak.
"Papa!"
At this moment, Xiao Youyou, who had witnessed Papa hitting someone, rushed out and tightly hugged Ye Chen's thigh.
The little one was trembling with fear, "Papa, if you hit someone, the police Uncle will catch you. Papa, run, let's run!"
"Youyou, be good, don't be afraid. From now on, Papa will always protect you and Mom. Whoever dares to bully you, Papa will definitely not let them off! Forget about the police Uncle, even if the King of Heaven himself came, no one would ever be allowed to bully you and Mom!"
Stroking Ye Youyou's head, Ye Chen chuckled softly.
These words seemed to be for Ye Youyou, but in reality, Ye Chen wanted Chen Yinuo to hear them.
"You're finished, you're goddamn finished! If I don't send you to the detention center this time, I'll take your surname!"
Wang Tao, who was covered in cold sweat from the pain and couldn't stand up, roared ferociously after catching his breath.
As he spoke, he had already taken out his phone.
"Ye Chen, hurry and leave!" Chen Yinuo, who had come to her senses, cried out in a panic.
"Trying to run? Can the monk escape the temple?!" Wang Tao endured the pain, shouting fiercely while dialing 110.
"Take Youyou back first. I'm the one who hit him; this needs to be settled!" Ye Chen said, looking at Chen Yinuo indifferently.
To make Chen Yinuo show a look of worry for him.
At this moment, Ye Chen felt it was all worth it.
Meanwhile.
In the private room corridor deep inside the restaurant.
Zhang Jingshan and Li Changfeng walked out side by side.
"Hmm? What's going on over there?"
Seeing the commotion by the window.
And the staff rushing towards that area.
Zhang Jingshan couldn't help but ask in surprise.
"Can you change that bad habit of yours of wanting to join in whenever there's a commotion? Let's go, the restaurant staff will handle it!"
After glancing over there, Li Changfeng chuckled and chided him good-naturedly.
"Hey, wait, this..." Zhang Jingshan suddenly stopped.
"What is it?" Li Changfeng was also stunned.
"Why does that look so much like Ye Chen? And that woman, is she his wife Chen Yinuo?"
Zhang Jingshan, who had better eyesight, exclaimed.
"Ye Chen?" Li Changfeng raised an eyebrow.
Only then did he fix his gaze and look carefully.
"It's them!"
At this.
Without Zhang Jingshan needing to speak.
Li Changfeng was already anxious and quickly walked over there first.
Other people's business, perhaps he wouldn't interfere.
But if it involved Ye Chen, he couldn't just ignore it.
Because this was his life-saving benefactor, a true and absolute life-saving benefactor!
"Wang Tao? Why is it you?"
As soon as he got closer, he saw the company's Deputy General Manager Wang Tao, who was trembling and struggling to get up from the ground.
Li Changfeng was instantly dumbfounded.
"General Manager Li!"
Wang Tao was also extremely surprised by Li Changfeng's coincidental appearance.
The next second.
He dropped his previous ferocious demeanor, "General Manager Li, I just saw Team Leader Chen and her Husband dining, so I came over to say hello and chat a bit. Unexpectedly, her Husband attacked me without a word, not only slapped me but also knocked me to the ground. I've already called the police, they're on their way. General Manager Li, you must uphold justice for me!"
The reason he dared to complain so vaguely to Li Changfeng, asking Li Changfeng to get justice for him, wasn't because Wang Tao was stupid; he wasn't so foolish as to think Li Changfeng would definitely believe his one-sided story.
However, whether Li Changfeng believed him or not, he was certain Li Changfeng would definitely be on his side.
After all, Li Changfeng's most beloved aunt was his maternal aunt.
It was also for this reason that Wang Tao's position as Deputy General Manager at Huaxing Trading was so secure.
Of course, while Wang Tao was a refined scoundrel, his personal ability was still undeniable. Otherwise, given Li Changfeng's character, it would have been absolutely impossible for him to let a good-for-nothing serve as Deputy General Manager.
