Chapter 59

Tao Wei's old face turned a deep shade of liver color as he said angrily, "What do you know? This is Grandpa Ma Jiu."

Ye Bufan replied with disdain, "Isn't he just a big gang leader? You're scared stiff of him."

At this moment, Grandpa Ma Jiu got up from the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said with a vicious look, "Kid, your skills are indeed good, but let me tell you, the power behind me is something you can't mess with!

Kneel down to me now, or you and your friends will all die!"

"Someone backing you, huh?" Ye Bufan sneered, "Then don't say I didn't give you a chance. Call everyone you can right now."

Today, he was determined to settle things with Grandpa Ma Jiu once and for all. He had to make this guy submit completely, or his family and friends would be in trouble later.

So he didn't choose to leave but instead pulled a chair and sat down next to them.

"Kid, you've got guts. Just wait and see."

Grandpa Ma Jiu took out his phone and dialed a number.

When the call connected, a deep voice came from the other end, "Little Jiu, what's up so late?"

Although it was over the phone, Grandpa Ma Jiu's demeanor instantly became extremely respectful, "Boss, there's been an issue at Ye Weiyang. I've been beaten by a kid."

The voice on the other end said unhappily, "You can't even handle such a small matter?"

Grandpa Ma Jiu replied, "Boss, his skills are too good. None of us can match him. And he's still here waiting, saying he wants you to come over."

"A bunch of useless scum, wait, I'll be right there!"

The other end hung up with a snap.

Grandpa Ma Jiu turned back and said with a vicious look, "Kid, let me tell you, not even the Heavenly King can save you this time."

Ye Bufan lifted his leg and kicked him to the ground, "From now on, you don't have the right to stand and talk to me."

"Kid, you're asking for it..."

Grandpa Ma Jiu's old face turned blood red, as if it could bleed at any moment. After all these years of ruling the underground world in Jiangnan, when had he ever been humiliated like this?

Ye Bufan said coldly, "Are you going to kneel or not? If not, I'll cripple you right now!"

If it weren't for him being there today, Han Shuai and the others would have met a terrible fate. He wouldn't show any mercy to someone who threatened his friends.

"You..."

Although Grandpa Ma Jiu was gnashing his teeth in hatred, to preserve his life's work, he had to endure the humiliation and kneel straight next to Tao Wei and the others.

Just a moment ago, he had made Tao Wei and the others kneel and speak, and now he himself had fallen to this state.

However, when under someone else's roof, one must bow one's head. Faced with such a formidable young man, he could only temporarily endure.

In his heart, he was determined that when his boss arrived, he would make this kid beg for mercy.

Seeing their revered Grandpa Ma Jiu kneeling beside them, Tao Wei and the other three felt a mix of emotions.

They had never taken the poor kid Ye Bufan seriously, but now that they had knelt to Grandpa Ma Jiu, and Grandpa Ma Jiu was now kneeling to Ye Bufan, the gap between them made them feel an indescribable sense of loss.

"Kid, don't get too cocky. Just wait and see what happens when Grandpa Ma Jiu's backer arrives."

The three didn't speak, but they all thought the same thing. Only if Grandpa Ma Jiu crippled Ye Bufan could they regain some face and feel better.

Although he had seen Ye Bufan's skills, Han Shuai was still a bit worried. He leaned in and whispered, "Third Brother, I heard Grandpa Ma Jiu's background is extremely powerful.

A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle. Why don't we leave here first and let my dad think of a way later?"

Ye Bufan knew that today's matter had to be resolved, or it would bring unnecessary trouble to his family and friends later.

He said, "Second Brother, why don't you take your wife and leave first? I can handle it alone."

"How can that be? We are brothers who share both good and bad times. How can I leave you here alone?" Han Shuai turned to Shi Yuting and said, "Yuting, go back first. I'll find you once this is settled."

Shi Yuting said firmly, "How can that be? We share the same fate. If we die, we die together. I can't leave alone."

Ye Bufan chuckled, "Why are you making it sound like a life-and-death situation? Don't worry, nothing will happen with me around."

Han Shuai and Shi Yuting both nodded. They didn't fully believe Ye Bufan's words, but with the attitude of sharing both good and bad times, they would stay no matter what.

But Huang Xiaoli clearly didn't think the same way. She stepped forward and said, "Yuting, if you're not leaving, I'll go first."

"Alright, you go back first."

A hint of disappointment flashed in Shi Yuting's eyes, but she didn't say anything.

(To be continued, please turn the page)

Huang Xiaoli said nothing more and fled out of the room.

Han Shuai spat, "What a piece of work."

Today's trouble was all caused by Huang Xiaoli, who was the first to cause trouble and the first to run away.

Ye Bufan didn't care at all. Huang Xiaoli was just a superficial woman, and he didn't expect anything from her.

He said to Shi Yuting, "Sister-in-law, I heard you're a talented woman from the Finance Department at Jiangnan University. Have you found a good job yet?"

Hearing Ye Bufan call her sister-in-law, Shi Yuting's cheeks turned slightly red, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she reached out and held Han Shuai's hand.

After everything that had happened, she knew how to make her choice.

"Don't listen to Han Shuai's nonsense. What kind of talented woman am I?" she said, "The job market for college graduates is getting harder. I haven't found a suitable job yet."

"Great, then can you come and help me?"

Ye Bufan briefly introduced the situation at Drunken Jiangnan and then said, "I'm not good at managing a restaurant. The current manager is temporary. If you could come and help, it would be perfect."

"That would be great," Shi Yuting hesitated, "But I just graduated. It might not be appropriate to start as the general manager. Maybe I should start from the bottom."

Ye Bufan said, "I trust Second Brother's judgment. The person he chooses won't be wrong. You can take over the entire restaurant."

Holding Shi Yuting's hand, Han Shuai was overjoyed and said, "Third Brother, you're absolutely right. Not just a restaurant, even a group company, Yuting can manage it. Otherwise, how could she be my wife?"

Shi Yuting glared at him, "What nonsense are you talking? Who's your wife?"

Han Shuai laughed, "Isn't it just a matter of time?"

At that moment, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside, and dozens of black-clad men rushed into the room.

Although they were dressed in traditional martial arts uniforms, they exuded an extremely powerful aura. Any one of them was no less formidable than Leopard.

Seeing reinforcements arrive, Grandpa Ma Jiu became excited. The time for revenge had finally come.

Even Tao Wei and the others felt a surge of excitement. They could accept Grandpa Ma Jiu's bullying, but they couldn't accept being trampled by Ye Bufan.

So they all hoped that Grandpa Ma Jiu's backer would give Ye Bufan a harsh lesson.
