Chapter 63 - 63 63 Face Stepping

63: Chapter 63 [Face Stepping] 63: Chapter 63 [Face Stepping] “Ah… my face…” Qin Heng covered his face with both hands. Just a moment ago, Ye Tianchen’s foot had mercilessly stomped on his nose, breaking his entire nasal bone. Blood streamed out from his nostrils and mouth, looking rather miserable and somewhat frightening. Seeing Ye Tianchen beating Qin Heng without any hesitation, even to the point of near death, all the elite young men present were stunned. They were people of some status and had powerful backers. Naturally, they knew what kind of person Qin Heng was. The Qin family was a first-rate clan, so forces below the level of Capital City’s first-rate clans, even those on par with the Qin family, would hardly dare to strike Qin Heng harshly. When Ye Tianchen appeared, he left the haughty Qin Heng battered and bloodied, a scene that truly shocked everyone present. Many were wondering, wasn’t Ye Tianchen afraid of bringing disaster by beating Qin Heng so ruthlessly? Weren’t they afraid that the Ye family might face annihilation? After all, the Qin family wasn’t comparable to the Luo family; they were on a completely different level. “Ye Tianchen, you little bastard, you son of a bitch, dare to hit me, I will have your Ye family exterminated…” Overcome with rage, Qin Heng had originally planned to submit, just to make Ye Tianchen spare him. He figured he could find ways to deal with Ye Tianchen later. However, it turned out Ye Tianchen wasn’t someone easily bullied. Anyone who dared mess with him would end up with a fistful of iron. Bang, bang, bang! Facing Qin Heng’s continued threats, Ye Tianchen did not utter a word. He stomped on Qin Heng’s face three more times. Had it not been for wanting to deal further with the Qin family later, Ye Tianchen wouldn’t have held back his strength and would have kicked Qin Heng to death with a single blow. Qin Heng lay unconscious on the ground, his face covered in blood, his nasal bone, cheekbone, and essentially all the bones in his face, along with his teeth, were all broken by Ye Tianchen’s stomps, leaving his face paralyzed, which looked quite tragic. Dusting off his hands, Ye Tianchen didn’t even glance at Qin Heng and walked back to his seat to continue eating, shocking the group of elite young men to the point their jaws nearly dropped. Ye Tianchen had severely beaten Qin Heng, knocking him unconscious, and truly stirred up significant trouble. Generally speaking, he would have fled the scene by now, hiding away, perhaps not even daring to stay in the country, given the vast influence of the Qin family. Moreover, the most critical point was that the old master of the Qin family was still in power. That indeed made a huge difference—a ruler’s level, even among peers, elevated the ruler much higher than the non-rulers. “Ye, Brother Ye, you, you better leave quickly. The Qin family will send people soon…” Lu Wang approached Ye Tianchen and whispered. Slap! Ye Tianchen slapped Lu Wang across the face, sending him flying. Just having been haughtily struck by Qin Heng, and now getting punched by Ye Tianchen without expression, it left the others puzzled. Perhaps Ye Tianchen was as arrogant as Qin Heng, or maybe ignorant? When someone kindly warned you for your own good, and you unreasonably hit them, such a person is truly infuriating and incomprehensible. At that moment, Ye Tianchen stood up, took another chopstick of green peppers, turned around coldly to the bewildered Lu Wang lying on the ground, and said, “Being too clever for your own good, especially when cunningly double-dealing, will lead to a miserable end. Did you think I didn’t know you had secretly informed the Qin family?” Hearing Ye Tianchen’s words, everyone else turned their gazes towards Lu Wang, who, flustered and embarrassed, his face flushed red. Indeed, he had just secretly called the Qin family to inform them that Qin Heng had been beaten by Ye Tianchen and requested them to send people. Lu Wang’s reasoning for doing so was quite simple and clear. Although he was beaten by Qin Heng and harbored intense hatred for him, he wasn’t certain whether Ye Tianchen could truly handle Qin Heng; in other words, whether Ye Tianchen was a match for the Qin family was still an unknown. This time, with Qin Heng beaten so miserably, if the Qin family decided to pursue the matter, Lu Wang wouldn’t be able to extricate himself either. If Ye Tianchen turned out not to be a match for the Qin family, it was very likely that Lu Wang could also lose his life. The Qin family was just that dominant and tyrannical, even more so than Luo Songcheng. For his own safety and self-interest, even after being beaten by Qin Heng, Lu Wang still chose to be the Qin family’s informant. “Ye, Ye Tianchen, don’t be ignorant of what’s good for you. The Qin family’s people will be here soon. If you don’t leave now, you won’t be able to escape!” Lu Wang said to Ye Tianchen fiercely. “That’s my concern. As for you, being so sly, I’m sure you’ll know what to say when the Qin family arrives,” Ye Tianchen coldly responded to Lu Wang. Ye Tianchen had always detested people like Lu Wang. To put it bluntly, Lu Wang was just too despicable—having been slapped by Qin Heng, he harbored resentment. While Ye Tianchen was teaching Qin Heng a lesson, Lu Wang secretly enjoyed it. After the lesson, fearing it might affect him as well, he immediately betrayed Ye Tianchen and informed the Qin family. If opportunists like Lu Wang came into power, they would soar sky-high. “Have it your way; just wait…” Lu Wang muttered, grabbing a few tissues to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. Ye Tianchen shrugged nonchalantly and continued to sit down and eat. Meanwhile, Beifeng Pavilion boiled over. The gossipy sons of the elites were all scared and clueless, and many workers at Beifeng Pavilion found excuses to leave. Even the boss of Beifeng Pavilion was in a hurry to drive out of Capital City. Qin Heng of the Qin family was beaten half to death at Beifeng Pavilion. This incident would undoubtedly shock Capital City, making a greater impact than the murders of Luo Lei and Luo Tao, the Luo brothers. After all, the Qin family belonged to a different sphere, a real top-tier clan in Capital City. If truly angered, even Capital City would tremble. Many young masters had chosen to stay, eager to see the spectacle unfold, whether it would be the always arrogant and rampant Qin Heng who prevailed, or Ye Tianchen, the laughing stock of Capital City and famously good-for-nothing scion, who would stage his comeback. It was truly a thrilling scene that no one wanted to miss. Qin Heng and his two bodyguards were all knocked out cold on the ground, with no one daring to touch them. Aside from Ye Tianchen, there was no second person who dared to associate with Qin Heng. Anyone who touched the half-dead Qin Heng would face a fate from the Qin family that they could not handle. “Waiter, waiter… bring some tomato and egg soup…” After choking down a dry meal, Ye Tianchen shouted loudly towards the downstairs. “Has this guy gone mad? At a time like this, he still feels like having egg soup…” “He’s not even running. When the Qin family’s people get here, he’ll probably be drinking his own brain soup.” “This is truly waiting for death in the truest sense.” “The fact that Ye Tianchen had the guts to strike Qin Heng was already quite remarkable, but it’s a pity he’s marked for death, such a pity!” A few young masters started whispering among themselves. Although Ye Tianchen’s beating of Qin Heng was secretly thrilling for them, no one believed Ye Tianchen would come out ahead. They all thought he was doomed; once the Qin family arrived, he was sure to be beaten half to death, if not left completely dismembered. “Waiter… another tomato and egg soup to my table…” Ye Tianchen, ignoring the chatter of the young masters around him, continued to shout to the downstairs. All the staff at Beifeng Pavilion had long since fled, leaving no one daring to bring up tomato and egg soup to Ye Tianchen, who still had the heart to shout and crave for tomato and egg soup even at this time. Less than half an hour later, the sound of sirens rang out outside Beifeng Pavilion. Several police cars stopped at the gates of Beifeng Pavilion, and dozens of armed police officers got out. Leading them was Lu Wang’s father, Lu Shengda. The call to the police had been made by Lu Wang, thinking that if his father could apprehend Ye Tianchen, not only would Qin Heng’s beating not be pursued on him, but it might also curry favor with his own Lu family, presenting an opportunity for advancement. The sound of the sirens startled all the young masters present. A few looked downstairs, saw the armed police, and became puzzled. Many took out their phones to call home, trying to clear their connection with Qin Heng’s beatdown to avoid being implicated. Ye Tianchen completely ignored the armed police rushing up to him and continued to smoke nonchalantly, legs crossed. Lu Wang glanced at Ye Tianchen and walked over with a smug smile, “You might as well come with us now, to avoid making everyone look bad!” “Get lost!” Ye Tianchen said sternly. “Humph, Ye Tianchen, after what you did to Qin Heng, the Qin family won’t let you off. My dad has brought people to arrest you; you better be wise, or don’t blame us for not being polite!” Seeing Ye Tianchen still defiant at this time, Lu Wang felt somewhat displeased. No sooner had Lu Wang’s words fallen than he felt a choking sensation at his throat—Ye Tianchen’s right hand had clamped down on his neck. Given Lu Wang’s sneaky nature, always ready to stab someone in the back—a far more sinister character than Qin Heng—Ye Tianchen was not about to let him go. “Let go of Wang, or I will shoot!” At this moment, Lu Shengda ran up from downstairs and, seeing Ye Tianchen assaulting his son, drew his gun and aimed it at Ye Tianchen’s head without hesitation. Ye Tianchen glanced at Lu Shengda and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, I won’t kill your son; he still has his uses.” “You… Ye Tianchen, I am now arresting you for assault; you have the right to remain silent, but anything you say may be used as evidence in court!” Lu Wangda said grimly, glaring fiercely at Ye Tianchen.

I know you’re waiting for the Qin family to show up so you can put on a good show. Attacking me now won’t be seen by the Qin family…” After throwing Lu Wang aside, Ye Tianchen sat down, ignoring Lu Shengda with a gun aimed at his head, and continued to smoke and drink tea casually.
