Chapter 419: Chapter 0418 Vicious Retaliation (Sixth Update)_1
Yang Xinyi’s lips twitched, and she finally understood why it’s said that some people lie with their eyes wide open.
It was clear that she loved him so deeply, to the point of life and death, that he infuriated her to the brink of despair, and he was the one who drove her to utter heartbreak. Yet now, in front of all these people, he actually had the nerve to claim she didn’t like him?
It had to be admitted, the tactic of lowering his own status to elevate hers played a crucial role in salvaging her reputation.
Just then, an astonishing scene unfolded.
Ye Xiong knelt on one knee, making a marriage proposal gesture, and said softly, “Xinyi, this is my fifth time proposing to you. Marry me, please!”
Five times my foot, had you ever proposed before?
...
Yang Xinyi’s face turned dark, but seeing his earnest expression as he knelt publicly somehow made her nose tingle.
The entire crowd was set ablaze by this spectacle.
Nobody expected such a thing to occur at Su Zhentian’s birthday celebration.
“Sister-in-law, accept him.” Ye Yangyang shouted from a distance.
“Accept him, marry him.”
“Accept him, marry him.”
“Quickly accept him.”
The crowd below burst into an uproar, shouting loudly.
Who wouldn’t want to witness a happy ending?
“The crisis is over, you don’t have to pretend anymore.” Yang Xinyi said indifferently to Ye Xiong.
“Before was pretense; this is not.”
Ye Xiong’s gaze landed on her face, as he said earnestly, “Xinyi, these past few days have been torture for you, but believe me, they have been torture for me as well. I admit I’m a playboy, but I swear, you are the woman I love the most. Without you, life is difficult.”
“Can I still believe in your oaths?”
This was the predicament of crying wolf – tell lies too often, and no one believes you; swear too often, and trust is lost.
“You can believe the oath I make today,” Ye Xiong quickly said.
“Step down, I have something to say to him,” Yang Xinyi gestured towards Su Zhentian.
“If you don’t agree, I won’t step down.”
“Step down,” Yang Xinyi’s voice turned stern.
The last thing a relationship needs is an incessant argument. Yang Xinyi’s willingness to shout at him showed that her attitude towards him had warmed up compared to her previous iciness.
“Alright, I’ll step down,” Ye Xiong said as he promptly walked towards the stage.
At that moment, a group of uniformed police officers walked in from outside.
Seeing the leading officer, Guan Liuzhen felt as if she had found her saviors and hurriedly approached him, excitedly saying, “Ah Song, you’ve finally arrived. Quickly arrest that guy.”
The officer in charge was named Li Song, in his thirties, with insignia on his shoulder indicating his not insignificant rank in the police force.
“Sister Zhen, what happened?” Li Song asked.
“This guy not only insulted us with his words, disrupted Zhentian’s birthday banquet, but also poured tea over our heads, mother and daughter. When the security tried to apprehend him, he injured them as well. Relying on his martial arts skills, he’s completely lawless. You must take him away,” Guan Liuzhen explained.
Hearing her words, Li Song approached Ye Xiong and asked coldly, “Is what she says true?”
“Apart from insulting her with words, the rest is true,” Ye Xiong replied indifferently.
“So it’s true that you poured tea on Guan Liuzhen and injured the guards.”
“That’s correct.”
“How arrogant. Do you think Capital City is a lawless place? Is there no King’s law?” Ah Song suddenly shouted harshly, “Come, handcuff him.”
A policeman pulled out handcuffs, about to clasp them onto Ye Xiong’s wrists.
Ye Xiong launched a kick, hitting the officer squarely and sending him flying.
Li Song swiftly drew his gun and aimed at Ye Xiong, bellowing, “You dare assault an officer? Do you believe I can blast you away with one shot?”
“What you should be considering is whether you can live long enough to fire that gun.”
Ye Xiong’s gaze fell on Li Song, staring intently at him, “I’ll count to three. Put the gun down, or else today will be the last day you ever wear a police uniform in your life.”
Being glared at, Ah Song instinctively backed away a few steps.
This guy’s eyes were too fierce, his killer instinct too strong, giving him an uneasy feeling that he dared not confront.
Having been a police officer in Capital City for over a decade, and to become a squadron leader in a place like this, Li Song had to not only be capable but also extremely clever; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to hold his ground.
Those who are arrogant must have the capital for their arrogance.
He turned around and asked Guan Liuzhen, “Who is he, and why is he so brash?”
“His name is Ye Jun, the son of Ye Yuandong. Relying on his wealth and some martial arts skills, he bullies others…”
Hearing her say this, Li Song’s legs nearly gave out, and he almost couldn’t hold onto his gun.
Inside, a myriad of emotions surged through him, feeling completely set up by Guan Liuzhen.
Who Ye Jun was, others might not know, but he was very clear.
A few months ago, during the Haitian Group’s jewelry exhibit incident, it was initially under his investigation. Later, the higher-ups directly dispatched Dragon Group personnel to take over the case. The leading investigator explicitly ordered him not to interfere with the case, and to never look into anything related to Ye Jun again.
Clearly, the identity of this Ye Jun was anything but simple.
When Guan Liuzhen had called, she hadn’t disclosed the person’s identity; otherwise, he would have never come to arrest anyone, even if he had been beaten to death.
At that moment, his phone rang.
Ah Song checked and saw it was the Chief’s call, a sense of unease rising within him.
“Chief, what’s the matter?” Ah Song asked weakly.
“Did you lead a team to arrest Ye Jun?” On the other end of the phone, the Chief’s voice sounded somewhat angry.
“Chief, I received a report and just came to check it out, I didn’t arrest anyone!” Ah Song quickly replied.
“With his status, not to mention you, even I wouldn’t dare to provoke him,” the Chief said before hanging up the call.
Ah Song put away his phone and realized he was still pointing his gun at Ye Xiong’s head. Hastily, he withdrew it, his attitude taking a one hundred eighty-degree turn as he smiled, “Mr. Ye Jun, I apologize for earlier; we were unaware of your identity.”
“Ah Song, he…” Guan Liuzhen was dumbfounded.
“Shut up, it’s not your turn to speak here. What kind of person is Ye Jun, that he would pour water for you? Are you maybe elevating your own status too highly?” Ah Song said sternly.
Did he mean that Ye Jun pouring water on her was a blessing?
Guan Liuzhen was on the verge of tears; Ye Jun had clearly admitted to pouring the water earlier.

Initially, she thought Ye Jun was just a decent martial artist, but no matter how good his fighting skills were, could he deflect a bullet?
No matter how strong, once in the station, made to sit on the tiger bench, even if he were a lion, he’d have to lie down.
She had not expected that Ye Jun had backing, enough that even the Chief would call to help him.
This grudge, it seemed, would not be avenged.
Ye Xiong felt a bit puzzled; he hadn’t made any call, so how did the Chief know the situation?
His eyes moved to Phoenix in the corner, who still held a phone in her hand, and he understood—it must have been her who called the Chief.
“Mr. Ye Jun, if there’s nothing else, we’ll be taking our leave now. Sorry for the disturbance,” Ah Song said, preparing to lead his people out.
“Wait a minute.”
“What else is there?” Ah Song’s heart tensed up.
“Since you’re already here, might as well arrest the two masterminds behind the attempted murder by hiring a hitman.”
Ye Xiong’s gaze fell onto the silent couple beside him, Su Wei and his spouse.
