Chapter 1310 - 1284: I’m Not Satisfied
Zhou Jian saw his father coming and shouted as if he had seen a savior: "Dad, hurry and save me, Ye Chen wants to kill me."Zhou Minghan, without a hint of kindness, looked at his son and said: "Rebellious son, shut up, you brought this on yourself."
Despite saying this, he still looked at Ye Chen with a pleading expression and said: "Mr. Ye, my son is young and ignorant, please be magnanimous and let him go this time. I’m begging you."
As he spoke, Zhou Minghan was about to kneel to Ye Chen, but Ye Chen stopped him.
"Master Zhou, there’s no need for you to do this, it’s too much for me," Ye Chen said, looking at Zhou Minghan in front of him.
"I’m sorry, Mr. Ye, I didn’t think things through," Zhou Minghan said apologetically.
He knew that his son had repeatedly provoked Ye Chen and even kidnapped Su Wanyi, which undoubtedly touched Ye Chen’s bottom line. It’s unlikely that Ye Chen would let his son go easily.
But even so, Zhou Minghan decided to give it a try, after all, Zhou Jian was his only son.
Zhou Minghan looked at Ye Chen and said: "Mr. Ye, what can I do to let you spare my son."
"Master Zhou, it’s not that I’m not willing to let him go, it’s he who has provoked me time and again, and even kidnapped my woman in broad daylight. Do you think he thinks I’m easy to bully? That won’t do. I need to teach Young Master Zhou a lesson."
"Moreover, if I don’t properly punish Young Master Zhou, and this gets out, people might think I’m easy to bully, and anyone would dare to ride over me. Don’t you think that’s the truth?"
Zhou Minghan felt a bit relieved hearing Ye Chen’s words, as it seemed Ye Chen was going to spare his son’s life.
"Yes, yes, Mr. Ye, you’re right." Zhou Minghan nodded repeatedly.
Ye Chen released his grip on Zhou Jian and pushed him aside, saying: "Master Zhou, on your account, I’ll spare Young Master Zhou’s life. Of course, he can escape death but not punishment."
The released Zhou Jian turned from looking dejected to extremely arrogant, pointing at Ye Chen and saying: "Who the hell do you think you are, daring to talk to my father like that."
Before Ye Chen could speak, there was a loud slap, followed by Zhou Jian’s cry: "Dad, why are you hitting me, I’m standing up for you. What’s so great about him, why are you so respectful to him, he’s just..."
Zhou Jian’s words hadn’t finished when another loud, crisp slap echoed.
This time it was even harsher than before.
Ye Chen paid no attention to this; he just slowly untied the rope around Su Wanyi, careful not to hurt her.
As he untied the rope, he looked at Su Wanyi with heartache and said: "Wanyi, you’ve suffered."
"Ye Chen, I’m fine." Su Wanyi shook her head and smiled.
Tears were still glistening in her eyes, tears of emotion.
Su Wanyi, possibly tied up for too long, almost fell as she stood up, but Ye Chen quickly caught her.
"Wanyi, be careful," Ye Chen said with concern.
Zhou Jian, seeing the woman he liked so affectionate with the man he hated, was on the brink of madness.
"Dad, I’m your own son, why do you keep hitting me for an outsider, besides, are you really that afraid of him? He’s just a brat, you could squash him like an ant," Zhou Jian yelled almost maniacally.
"Shut up, who are you to speak to Mr. Ye like this, hurry and kneel to Mr. Ye and apologize," Zhou Minghan shouted sternly.
Ye Chen remained silent throughout, just watching to see how Zhou Minghan would handle the situation.
"What is he, and why should I apologize to him? I’m Young Master Zhou, how can he withstand it," Zhou Jian said arrogantly.
Having escaped from Ye Chen’s grasp, he no longer feared Ye Chen as before.
Now, he was back to being the arrogant Young Master Zhou again.
Zhou Minghan saw that his son wouldn’t listen, so he signaled his men: "Take this rebellious son to Mr. Ye, and make him kneel and apologize."
Zhou Jian’s followers hesitated and said: "Master, this isn’t right."
These people, after all, had followed Zhou Jian for many years, and Zhou Jian had always treated them very well, even seeing them as brothers, never forgetting them when there were benefits.
But now, Master Zhou was asking them to treat their young master this way for an outsider, leaving them a bit conflicted.
"Do you think you’re above me just because the young master backs you up? Don’t forget, your stay or leave is up to me," Zhou Minghan threatened.
Hearing these words, the followers walked towards Zhou Jian without hesitation.
Zhou Jian was initially proud that his followers didn’t listen to the old man, truly loyal to him.
However, as he saw them approaching him, he frantically said: "What are you doing, don’t let the old man scare you."
"I’m sorry, young master, but the Zhou Family is still run by the master. We have families to feed and really have no choice," said one of the followers apologetically.
With that, Zhou Jian was dragged in front of Ye Chen by several followers.
"Let me go, let me go, you ungrateful traitors," Zhou Jian shouted continuously.
Zhou Minghan shook his head helplessly, his old face thoroughly disgraced by his son today.
"I won’t kneel, even if I die, I won’t kneel." Despite Zhou Jian’s struggling and yelling, his knees still hit the ground.
Then, the warehouse echoed with a striking sound, not of anything else, but Zhou Jian’s forehead hitting the ground.
At present, Zhou Jian, sadly, was pressed by several followers, just like a bug bowing, soon his forehead was swollen.
Zhou Minghan, seeing this, was both angry and distressed, but he could only watch, unable to do anything.
Though he held power and authority, this matter today left him powerless.
"Dad, I’m about to be knocked senseless, save me," Zhou Jian cried to his father.
Ye Chen’s face remained expressionless, quietly watching the scene.
Zhou Minghan saw that his son had already kowtowed several times to Ye Chen, and guessed that his anger might have subsided. He tentatively said: "Mr. Ye, do you think that’s enough? If he continues, it could be fatal."
"Master Zhou, do you think this can be the end? I’m sparing his life for your sake, but I’m not satisfied with this apology," Ye Chen suddenly said.
