Chapter 159: Chapter 154 Severing Ties of Gratitude and Duty
Just as he was about to head back to the security room, Ye Tian’s phone rang. Glancing at the caller ID, it was actually a call from Wang Bingbing.
Wang Bingbing was not having an easy time these days, always uneasy and afraid of being assassinated by that person named Wang Qian. For her safety, Ye Tian had specially left her his phone number.
This little lady calling at this time probably means there’s some trouble again.
"Hello, my little maid, what’s up?" Ye Tian asked directly.
"Can’t I call you if there’s nothing wrong? Don’t make me sound so utilitarian," Wang Bingbing’s complaint came through the phone. He heard her continue, "Are you free this afternoon? I’d like to take you out for a meal, and I have something to show you. You’ll definitely be interested."
"Dinner? Sure, now that you mention it, I’m actually quite hungry," Ye Tian said playfully. "Is it a candlelight dinner? Should I book a room at the hotel for us to have a more intimate encounter?"
"You don’t need to worry about that; I’ve already booked the room. It’s at the five-star hotel under my name. I’ll send you the address later. Make sure you’re on time," Wang Bingbing said.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, my little maid, what’s gotten into you today? Bursting with joy? Dazzled by my charm? You even suggested meeting up with me. Heh, you weren’t like this before. I’m actually a bit overwhelmed," Ye Tian said with a grin.
After hanging up on Wang Bingbing, he received a message from her with the address of a well-known hotel in Jiangcheng City. Ye Tian glanced at it and memorized it, then deleted the message.
"Something to show me? What’s this little maid plotting?"
Ye Tian fell into deep thought, but no matter how much he pondered, he couldn’t figure it out. Anyway, he would know when he got there.
After everything they’d been through, Wang Bingbing was now completely submissive to Ye Tian and no longer as hostile as she had initially been.
Now, with Wang Bingbing in trouble and that person named Wang Qian lurking menacingly, although Ye Tian hadn’t prying into the details, he had heard that this was an internal conflict within the Wang Family, likely involving a dispute over assets.
The grudges within the wealthy families are beyond the understanding of ordinary people; once they act against each other, they often become more ruthless than enemies, willing to go to any lengths to eliminate potential threats.
Strolling back to the security room nonchalantly, Ye Tian heard Xiao Feng scolding the security staff. But as soon as he walked in, Xiao Feng’s bluster died down, and he was all smiles, not daring to let out even a peep.
"Heh, Minister Xiao, you’ve got quite a temper. You scared me when I was outside, but why are you silent now?" Ye Tian sneered.
"Not at all, Brother Tian, please take a seat, I’ll pour you some tea," Xiao Feng said obsequiously, not daring to cross Ye Tian.
Ye Tian glanced at the security team members seeing their sullen faces, and realized they must have been scolded by Xiao Feng. He cleared his throat and called Xiao Feng over.
"Minister Xiao, we’re all in security here, and nobody has it easy. If it’s not something serious, I hope you won’t create any trouble. You’re a smart man and should understand what I mean," Ye Tian said in a tone that was neither salty nor bland.
"Understood, I get it. Brother Tian, rest assured, I’ll be more careful in the future," Minister Xiao nodded and bowed, completely devoid of any officialdom, while Captain Ye Tian stood tall, leaving him breathless.
Soon, it was time to knock off work. Ye Tian first dropped Yun Xinyan off at her villa, then drove the nanny car to the 4S car store.
The McLaren had been ruined by that bastard Ren Jun, and Ye Tian currently had no car to speak of. With the 5.2 million he had from Longxi Mountain in his pocket, he has free time today, so why not reserve a car at the 4S store now? Then he could go have dinner with Wang Bingbing after.
Jiangcheng couldn’t compare with those international metropolises. To buy a supercar like the McLaren, you had to order it in advance and wait a week for delivery.
Ye Tian ordered an even more awesome McLaren 765LT. Compared to his previous McLaren 570GT, this car accelerates to 100 km/h in just 2.3 seconds, truly a supercar among supercars.
He paid a deposit of over a million first. When he took receipt of the car, he would pay the remaining four million in full. Then he went to a car rental company and spent over 5000 yuan to temporarily rent a Jeep Wrangler.
With its rugged exterior, the Wrangler cut an imposing figure, the dream ride of every tough guy.
Ye Tian drove the Wrangler to Wang Bingbing’s five-star hotel, tossed the keys to the doorman, and headed upstairs to the restaurant.
The hotel had many restaurants, big and small, with more than a dozen in total. Wang Bingbing had chosen one of the more exquisite ones.
The floor-to-ceiling windows offered a perfect view of the Wu River. Candles flickered on silver candlesticks, and a violinist from New Orleans played in the corner, the violin notes melodious and flowing. The restaurant was bathed in resplendent light.
A white waiter in a black suit politely showed Ye Tian to his seat. From here, he could see the continuous flow of the Wu River. As night fell, ships on the river moved slowly, pulling long ripples of light on the water. The river reflected the neon lights from both banks, casting a magical shimmer on the surface and creating a breathtaking scene.
The air was filled with the scent of fine perfume, strong yet appropriate, neither too overpowering nor too faint. White roses rested in blue-and-white porcelain vases, their fragrance light and elegant.
Looking at Wang Bingbing, with a serene smile, Ye Tian asked, "Nice place, do you own this hotel?"
"What used to be mine might no longer be certain in the future, as you already know, Wang Qian has been suppressing me, and he’s already set his sights on this hotel." The formidable Wang Bingbing actually sighed, continuing, "Sometimes I really envy you, free and unfettered, without the endless back-stabbing—how wonderful that is."
The fearless Ice Snow Queen also had moments of long sighs, to Ye Tian’s slight surprise.
Seeing her gaunt appearance, she must have gone through a lot these days, looking quite haggard.
"If you’re willing to give all this up, you can do so, it’s not difficult," Ye Tian shrugged.
Wang Bingbing clapped her hands, and immediately a polished Caucasian waiter approached, inquired in a rich London accent, and after Wang Bingbing told him they were ready to be served, he courteously nodded and left. Soon, he brought dish after dish of rich cuisine.
French-baked snails, Spanish seafood rice, French lamb chops. Ye Tian discovered Wang Bingbing had quite the taste in food, even noticing that they had Thai dishes here.
"Is this Tom Yum Goong soup? Ha, I didn’t realize you had a Thai chef here, this hotel is really quite good."
Wang Bingbing’s expression was wretched: "Even if it’s good, what does it matter, it will still eventually become someone else’s property. Ah, let’s not talk about this, hurry and try it before it gets cold."
Ye Tian wasn’t particular about food, for someone like him, food was just energy, a substance humans used to stave off hunger—get full, and you have the strength to either let go or to attack, that’s all.
"According to the online cliché, after a big meal, it should be time for a bath in the hotel, and then the banging begins. Little maid, are you prepared?" Ye Tian said with a teasing smile.
Wang Bingbing, listless and prematurely aged, said, "The main reason I invited you here was to show you something."
Seeing her like this, almost like a different person, Ye Tian was really curious about what could have happened to Wang Bingbing in the past few days. What kind of blow could have changed her into what she was now?
However, Wang Bingbing didn’t say, and Ye Tian didn’t ask further. He was clear anyway, the issue couldn’t be unrelated to Wang Qian.
Wang Bingbing clapped her hands again, and immediately someone brought over an envelope. She didn’t look at the envelope, being all too familiar with its contents, and pushed it directly across the table to Ye Tian.
"You might be interested in the contents of this, take a look," Wang Bingbing said.
Ye Tian shrugged, took the envelope in his hand, opened it, and found a stack of photos. As he saw the images clearly, he was shocked, his brow immediately furrowing.
"I should have thought of this!" Ye Tian said coldly.
"You recognize the people in the photos?" Wang Bingbing asked, a bit startled.
Ye Tian didn’t respond but picked up the photos to examine them again carefully.
The photos were ordinary, mere snapshots, but the people in them were extraordinary.
There were two people in the photo, and Ye Tian was no stranger to the fierce figure cloaked in black—it was one of his defeated subordinates, the King of Hell.
But it was the other person in the photo that was key, someone Ye Tian also knew very well because not long ago, this person had called him, addressing him as "Brother Tian" on either side.
"Ye Ying! Since you chose to betray me, then don’t blame me for not showing any mercy!" Ye Tian’s eyes blazed with unstoppable fury.
Not long ago, during a phone call with Ye Tian, he had sensed something off about him. He had felt that Ye Ying had changed, becoming not as pure as before.
At the time, Ye Tian didn’t think too much of it, finding Ye Ying’s behavior merely strange.
But now, seeing the photo of Ye Ying with the King of Hell, Ye Tian could finally confirm, Ye Ying had indeed betrayed him.
Tying together all of Ye Ying’s previous behavior, Ye Tian could even deduce that Ye Ying had betrayed him a long time ago, and he had been completely in the dark.
Fury roared within Ye Tian, his heart silently screaming, "Ye Ying, from this day forward, our bond is severed!"
"The photo was provided by one of my people, it should have been taken a month ago. The man in black in the photo should be the King of Hell you’re looking for," Wang Bingbing said.
"You’ve done well, you’ve been a great help this time." Ye Tian smiled as he gazed at Wang Bingbing, "Tell me then, this elaborate meal you’ve arranged by inviting me here, what exactly do you want me to do for you?"
Ye Tian was a smart man, he knew Wang Bingbing had an ulterior motive. This little girl was a sly one, surely seeking his help for something, otherwise, she wouldn’t have been so generous.
Seeing the direction of Ye Tian’s questions, Wang Bingbing’s eyes brightened, and with a smile, she said, "I want you to help me deal with someone."
