Chapter 267: Singing on the Streetlight

"Oh, you actually know my name!"

Seeing Ye Xiu state his name, Shen Sijun felt quite honored and chuckled. "You know me, and I know you. It seems we’re fated to meet. In that case, just hand over your life, and in return, I’ll have a prosperous future."

He then invited the old man to sit down and sat down himself, calling out, "Boss, bring two baskets of soup dumplings and two bowls of noodle soup."

After shouting his order, he grumbled at Ye Xiu, "That bitch Shen Monong gathered all the Shen Family’s illegitimate children last night to protect you, claiming someone would be delivering your corpse. It made me wait all night for nothing. Now I’m starving. I’ll deal with you after I’ve eaten."

Ming Yue chuckled inwardly. Shen Monong didn’t gather the family’s illegitimate children to protect Ye Xiu—she did it because I told her to. It’s a pity I couldn’t get out last night, letting them all get away with their lives.

"You’re enjoying your food, huh?" Seeing Ye Xiu silently devouring his meal, Shen Sijun said teasingly, "If I were you, I’d run now. Once Grandpa Zhang and I finish breakfast, you won’t be able to escape."

"Heh," Ye Xiu scoffed.

Ming Yue looked at Shen Sijun as if he were already a dead man. "You should eat as much as you can. This is your last meal, after all."

"The lady makes a good point." Thinking Ming Yue was talking to Ye Xiu, Shen Sijun laughed and said, "Kid, eat as much as you can. After this meal, there won’t be another."

Ming Yue hid a laugh. This guy was a complete idiot.

She said no more, quietly waiting for Ye Xiu to finish his meal so he could deal with Shen Sijun and the old man named Zhang.

"Kid, I’ve said so much and you haven’t said a single word. You’re making me lose face," Shen Sijun complained, watching Ye Xiu devour his food. When Ye Xiu still didn’t respond, Shen Sijun’s anger flared.

"SPIT!"

He spat into Ye Xiu’s bowl and sneered, "Go on, keep eating!"

Ye Xiu frowned. "Are you in such a hurry to die?"

"Die? The one dying isn’t me," Shen Sijun said with a laugh. "Here, let me introduce you. This gentleman next to me is Zhang Zhicheng, a Great Grandmaster. With him here, it would be hard for me to die even if I wanted to."

Ye Xiu looked at Zhang Zhicheng. "You’re a Great Grandmaster?"

"That’s right!" Zhang Zhicheng said proudly.

SMACK!

Ye Xiu swiftly tapped Zhang Zhicheng on the back of his head, and the man slumped over the table, unconscious.

Shen Sijun was speechless.

"Do you still think it’d be hard for you to die?" Ye Xiu asked mockingly.

Shen Sijun was on the verge of tears. Wasn’t he supposed to be a Great Grandmaster?! How did this kid knock him out with a single tap?

"See that streetlight over there?" Ye Xiu asked, pointing to the side of the road.

"Y-yes, I see it," Shen Sijun stuttered, trembling.

"Strip naked, climb up that streetlight, and sing me a song. Otherwise, I’ll crush you," Ye Xiu threatened.

"Yes, yes, yes..." Not daring to refuse, Shen Sijun scrambled to the streetlight, quickly stripped naked, and after a great struggle, finally managed to climb to the top. Hanging there, he began to wail, "I come from the clouds and go with the wind, carrying a body full of dust; my heart is wounded, my love is cold, my tears have run dry; in sorrow or in joy, who can know their fate..."

This scene shocked the diners and passersby, who all stopped to take photos and record videos to post on social media.

"Not bad singing," Ye Xiu commented as the food Shen Sijun had ordered arrived. He began to eat.

"Is that all you’re going to do to punish him?" Ming Yue asked.

"I’ll tell you a secret," Ye Xiu said. "The true mastermind who framed me ten years ago was the Long Family, and the Shen Family is a member of the Long Family Alliance. I came to Qingfeng Road specifically for the Shen Family."

Ming Yue suddenly understood. Unless it was a special situation, Ye Xiu never killed his old enemies; he only played with and tormented them, just as he had done with her and the Ming Family. This punishment was meant to disgrace the Shen Family, generate negative press, and begin his game of slowly tormenting them.

"How come I’ve never heard of the Long Family before?" Ming Yue asked.

"The Long Family is very mysterious, so it’s normal you haven’t heard of them. However, you could say the Long Family is the reason you and the Ming Family are in your current predicament," Ye Xiu said.

Of course, Ming Yue had already considered this. If not for the Long Family, the Ming Family would never have participated in framing Ye Xiu. They wouldn’t have hired a hitman to kill his mother and grandparents, and she wouldn’t be suffering this miserable torment at his hands now.

"Can you give me a chance for revenge?" Ming Yue asked angrily.

"You want revenge on the Long Family?" Ye Xiu asked.

"Yes!" Ming Yue nodded.

Ye Xiu thought for a moment. "Alright, I’ll give you that chance, but you have to promise me you won’t kill any member of the Long Family."

"Fine," Ming Yue said. "I’ll learn your methods of revenge and toy with the Long Family."

"Go on. I’ll send the Long Family’s information to your phone," Ye Xiu said.

Seeing that Ye Xiu had agreed, Ming Yue was overjoyed. She had suggested seeking revenge on the Long Family for two reasons: one was genuine revenge, and the other was to help Ye Xiu deal with them, which might ease their strained relationship. Who knew? Perhaps he might even spare her and the Ming Family in the future.

After watching Ming Yue leave, a cold smile touched Ye Xiu’s lips.

The reason he hadn’t dealt with Ming Yue was that he wanted her to test the waters with the Long Family. The information You Ming had stolen showed that they were far too mysterious and strange.

Just then, Mo Luo came over and sat in Ming Yue’s vacant seat, hesitating to speak.

"If you have something to say, just say it," Ye Xiu said.

"Well, there’s been a small incident in Jin Ye City. Gong Jin and Chloe were afraid to tell you, so they asked me to," Mo Luo said weakly.

"What happened?" Ye Xiu asked.

"The Young Madam, An Dongye, Kuroki Suzu, and Kong Ruoruo have come to Qingfeng Road," Mo Luo said, stealing a glance at Ye Xiu’s expression. "Don’t worry, Chloe is secretly following them. They’ll be safe."

Ye Xiu felt a headache coming on. He didn’t need to be a genius to guess that An Dongye must have persuaded Qin Qing, Kuroki Suzu, and Kong Ruoruo to come to Qingfeng Road to find him. An Dongye was probably the only person in the world who wasn’t afraid of him.

"Let them come," he said. "You go personally protect Qin Qing, and have Chloe protect Kong Ruoruo."

"Okay!" Mo Luo breathed a sigh of relief and added, "There’s one more thing. The Ghost Doctor has accepted the Shen Family’s invitation and has also come to Qingfeng Road."

"He’s here for revenge!" Ye Xiu said gravely. It was Shen Songshan who had ordered the Poison King to kill the Ghost Doctor’s wife. Now that the Ghost Doctor knew, he would definitely seek vengeance. "Tell the Ghost Doctor that I won’t stop him," he continued, "but killing isn’t the best form of revenge."

"Okay!" Mo Luo nodded. He stood up, hauled away the unconscious Zhang Zhicheng, and left in a hurry.

"Daddy, Daddy..."

At that moment, a voice that made Ye Xiu’s scalp tingle rang out. He then saw Little Treasure rushing over, with Bao Niannian following behind. Xu Fengmei was nowhere to be seen.

"Please stop calling me Daddy. How about I call you Daddy instead?" Ye Xiu said, his face dark.
