Pfft!
Yang Xinyi, who was eating, sprayed her food out in a very messy fashion.
“Surprised, huh? Excited, huh? Didn’t see that coming, did you!” Tang Ning said smugly, her eyes gleaming with schadenfreude as she looked at Ye Xiong. “Don’t be fooled by this guy’s decent looks. In fact, he has long been kept by the proprietress of their hotel.”
Cough cough!
“You can eat recklessly, but you can’t talk nonsense,” Ye Xiong coughed.
“Don’t think I don’t know. I have evidence,” Tang Ning said with great pride.
“What evidence?”
“Now at Mingyang International Hotel, who doesn’t know that you’re Du Yuehua’s favorite? For you, she stormed Fuhua Hotel with a dozen people to rescue you. If you weren’t her kept man, would that be possible?” Tang Ning said earnestly.
“Child, don’t talk nonsense,” Yang Xinyi scolded.
“Cousin, I’m telling the truth. Don’t you believe me?” Seeing that Yang Xinyi was not at all nervous, Tang Ning suddenly panicked and hurriedly added, “If you don’t believe me, go ask in the hotel yourself. Now, anyone you ask will know, and this guy, for no reason at all, spends all day in Du Yuehua’s office, not leaving for an hour or two. A man and a woman alone together, with such blazing fire, wouldn’t something happen?”
Ye Xiong’s face darkened. This girl really seemed to have it out for him, knowing even about his stays in Du Yuehua’s office. She was really picking a fight with him.
“Enough, child, what do you know?” Yang Xinyi interrupted impatiently. “Go play on the side; if you spout nonsense again, I’ll have your aunt take you home right now.”
Tang Ning was stunned and completely baffled.
Why doesn’t her cousin seem the slightest bit heartbroken that her husband cheated? Except for glaring fiercely at her husband, nothing else happened. It made no sense!
In her imagination, the scenario would start with her cousin throwing a furious tantrum, followed by her husband begging on his knees, swearing never to fool around again. Tang Ning had even prepared her phone to record the scene and use it to blackmail her brother-in-law into giving her back the 80,000 yuan. She hadn’t expected things to be completely different from what she imagined.
“Cousin, did you already know about cousin-in-law’s infidelity?” Tang Ning looked at Ye Xiong, then at Yang Xinyi, and swallowed hard before saying, “Cousin, could it be that you’re so open-minded, you can accept polygamy?”
Pfft!
Ye Xiong, who had been holding back this whole time, finally couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Seeing Ye Xiong laughing, Yang Xinyi glared fiercely at him.
Tang Ning looked left and right, completely clueless.
After breakfast, Ye Xiong was getting ready for work when his phone suddenly rang. An extremely anxious voice came from the other end.
“Brother Xiong, there’s big trouble!”
“What happened?” Ye Xiong’s heart immediately rose into his throat.
“There’s been a mass poisoning at the hotel; the whole place is in chaos, many people are vomiting, fainting… you need to come over quickly.”
“Don’t panic, I’m on my way,” said Ye Xiong, and he sprang to his feet.
“What happened?” Yang Xinyi asked worriedly.
“There’s trouble at the hotel, a mass poisoning incident. I need to go and see,” Ye Xiong said, breaking into a run towards the exit.
“I’m coming with you,” Yang Xinyi said, following him.
“No need, you being there won’t help. I’ll let you know as soon as there’s news.”
After saying that, Ye Xiong had already dashed out of the hall.
Yang Xinyi had never seen Ye Xiong so serious. Thinking that the situation could be either very serious or minor, she felt some worry and decided to follow him.
“Cousin, wait for me, I’m coming too.”
Ye Xiong returned to the parking shed; his car sped out swiftly and, seeing Yang Xinyi and Tang Ning blocking the way ahead, he braked urgently.
“Ye Xiong, we’re coming too,” Yang Xinyi said anxiously.
“Get in the car quickly.”
What should have been a half-hour drive, he managed to cover in just ten minutes, not knowing how many red lights he had run through in the process.
Yang Xinyi was beside him, noticing his solemn expression, all traces of his previously playful demeanor gone, replaced by the face of an enraged killer. Seeing him like this, even Yang Xinyi didn’t dare to take a deep breath.
She had never seen him so serious before.
However, it seemed to be quite attractive; this look was even more menacing than her brother-in-law’s.
Parking the car at the entrance of the hotel, Ye Xiong saw crowds of people surrounding Mingyang International Hotel, with a variety of angry noises coming from inside. Besides that, many people were taking photos, and there were journalists present.
Ye Xiong’s eyebrows furrowed. As the head of security for the company, he was notified by Wang Tong at the first sign of poisoning. He had arrived on the scene as quickly as possible, even before the ambulance had arrived. How could the journalists have gotten there so fast?
He smelled a hint of conspiracy.
“President Du, could it be that your hotel used expired food which led to food poisoning?”
“Does your hotel have a food health and safety certificate?”
“Recently, there have been claims that people got diarrhea after eating at your hotel. Could it be that, due to poor business, some frozen food items were stored for too long and not dealt with, leading to the poisoning incident?”
In the hotel lobby, over a dozen journalists were aggressively surrounding Du Yuehua with pressing questions.
The camera flashes blinked incessantly, and under the overwhelming siege, Du Yuehua seemed adrift like a piece of duckweed, completely at a loss for what to answer.
She was totally flustered!
A poisoning incident in the hotel—this was the end. In the catering industry, the biggest fear is food safety. With this incident of poisoning, regardless of whether there were any casualties, the hotel’s business would be unimaginable in the future.
“You piece of shit, you owe my son’s life.”
Suddenly, a man in his forties charged over and slapped Du Yuehua hard across the face.
This was like a spark to gunpowder, causing the victims’ families to erupt, converging on Du Yuehua. Even the hotel security and staff who came out to stop them were attacked, and the scene became uncontrollable.
Ye Xiong had just entered the hotel and happened upon this scene, rage bubbling up inside him.
“Xiao Song, destroy all the cameras, don’t miss one, or you’re off the team,” he ordered.
Upon hearing the command, Vermilion Bird, who had been standing to the side, took action. She moved through the crowd with swift hands and feet, smashing all the cameras to bits, not missing a single one.
Ye Xiong stepped into the crowd and grabbed the man who had slapped Du Yuehua, hoisting him up, swinging left and right, delivering a series of harsh slaps to his face until it swelled like a pig’s, and with a kick, sent him flying out.
But he wasn’t done. Ye Xiong moved to Du Yuehua’s side, dealing with the crowd around her with swift kicks and punches, showing no mercy, knocking everyone to the ground.
In such a situation, only absolute violence could stop the worsening of events.
“Someone help, look here, Mingyang International Hotel is beating up the families of the food poisoning victims!” one of the skinny men who had been knocked to the ground shouted loudly.
Strike the head bird, Ye Xiong went over, lifted him up entirely, and delivered a series of slaps, one after another, before picking up a megaphone from the ground and shouting loudly.
“Everyone stop, anyone who dares to continue fighting will end up just like him.”
