Chapter 0509: When the Sky Falls, I Will Hold It Up
A few young people were having a great time. After drinking for a while, Ruan Xiaoxi, Duan Su, and their friends were pulled into the dance floor by Duan Su and began to gently move to the rhythm. Liu Peng and Ning Huanhuan, slightly tipsy, also got up and joined in, raising the atmosphere.
"Suddenly I feel there's already a generation gap between me and them!"
Watching the four young people having fun, Ye Qingfeng shook his head gently.
He was only eighteen, supposedly the age for seeking pleasure, but these things had already faded away for him.
"Ah!"
He sat at the booth for more than ten minutes when a scream from the dance floor caught his attention. He clearly recognized it was from Ruan Xiaoxi.
Ye Qingfeng turned his head and saw that the people in the dance floor had already dispersed, the DJ also stopped, leaving only nine people in the center.
Four of them were naturally on Duan Su's side, while the other five, four men and one woman, all eighteen or nineteen years old, were led by a boy in fur with a malicious look in his eyes.
"What, Duan Su, is this your girlfriend? She's quite flexible!"
He looked at Duan Su with a cold smirk, not taking Duan Su seriously at all.
Duan Su and Ruan Xiaoxi glared at him angrily. Just now in the dance floor, it was this person who took the opportunity to grope Ruan Xiaoxi, which caused her to scream.
"Dong Yunye, you're asking for it!"
No one could endure this kind of thing, and Duan Su shouted angrily, swinging his fist as he rushed forward.
"Smack!"
Just as his fist swung out, the boy named Dong Yunye sidestepped and kicked Duan Su in the stomach, sending him to the ground.
"Xiao Su!"
Ruan Xiaoxi cried out in alarm. Duan Su doubled over in pain, clutching his stomach, but the anger and unwillingness in his eyes didn't diminish in the slightest.
Liu Peng and Ning Huanhuan's expressions changed as they stepped forward.
"Dong Yunye, we're all from family backgrounds, don't go too far!"
Dong Yunye showed no fear and became even more arrogant.
"Too far? You three's families are just upstart new rich in Jinling City, and you dare to compare yourselves with the Five Major Families of our east, west, south, north, and clock?"
He sneered, "Dare to stand up for this kid, do you even know your own weight? You probably have heard about the current situation of the Duan Family, right? If you don't want your family to become the next Duan Family, you better step aside."
Everyone in the nightclub gasped. Even the nightclub owner, who initially wanted to step in, chickened out instantly. These folks were not to be messed with, especially Dong Yunye and the three men and one woman behind him, most likely all from the direct lineage of the Five Major Families. They couldn't afford to provoke any of them.
Thinking of this, everyone stepped back a bit, eager to see the drama unfold.
The people behind Dong Yunye were all dressed lavishly, and the girl looked like a royal princess, adorned with jewels, overpowering everyone else with her strong presence.
These five people each belonged to one of the five major families of east, west, south, north, and clock, all of whom were noble offspring of high status.
Upon hearing Dong Yunye's threat, Liu Peng and Ning Huanhuan's expressions changed.
Duan Su might not know, but the two of them had already heard about the Duan Family's situation. The Five Major Families were working together against them; a single Duan Family couldn't withstand that. Their families might have some capabilities, but if they were also targeted by the Five Major Families, they definitely could not escape unscathed.
The two found themselves in a dilemma. Duan Su was their friend, and they didn't want to abandon him, but the pressure from the Five Major Families was too immense, suffocating them.
"Hmph, if you don't dare to stand up, get out of the way. I still want to settle some old scores with this kid!"
Dong Yunye had once had considerable conflict with Duan Su; it was only because the Duan Family was strong at the time that he dared not go too far. But now that the Duan Family was breaking apart, and facing dissolution, he had no scruples left.
Just as Dong Yunye was about to continue his verbal humiliation, a cold voice came from the side.
"Kneel down and apologize now, and I might consider not breaking your legs!"
At these words, everyone was stunned.
Throughout Jinling City, who would dare to boast that they could make the young master of the prestigious Dong Family of the Five Major Families kneel and apologize? This was simply audacious!
Everyone turned their heads to look, only to see a striking young man striding forward, seeming very relaxed.
His eyes were calm and depthful, and unconsciously, people made way for him.
"Cousin?"
Duan Su was shocked. He had just been praying that Ye Qingfeng wouldn't come over, but what he feared still happened.
He had brought Ye Qingfeng out this time to have fun, just wanting to entertain him, not expecting to encounter an old enemy.
Now that the conflict erupted, he knew he was no match for them, but he felt uneasy about dragging Ye Qingfeng into it.
Ning Huanhuan and Liu Peng's expressions were as dark as could be. If Ye Qingfeng were to stand out at this moment and immediately demand Dong Yunye to kneel and apologize, it would only make matters worse.
Dong Yunye and the three men and one woman behind him all turned to look at Ye Qingfeng. The gorgeous girl showed a hint of interest in her eyes; she had never seen anyone in Jinling City dare to ask Dong Yunye to kneel and apologize before.
Dong Yunye squinted his eyes, a dangerous glint in them.
"Are you the one speaking?"
Ye Qingfeng glanced at him as if looking at an ant on dry land.
"Yes, it's me. If you want to keep your legs, quickly kneel and apologize. Maybe if I'm in a good mood, I'll spare you!"
If everyone thought they had misheard before, now they all felt Ye Qingfeng must be crazy.
Who was Dong Yunye? The heir of the Dong Family, one of the Five Major Families, treated as the primary successor; his status was no less than that of the mayor's son.
Normally, he wouldn't apologize to anyone, and no one dared to make him apologize, let alone the absurdity of kneeling to apologize.
Everyone looked at Ye Qingfeng with pity, believing that this overly handsome young man might not walk out of the nightclub in one piece tonight.
"Cousin, you..."
Duan Su swallowed hard. Even at his wildest, he hadn't gone so far. Ye Qingfeng came straight out demanding Dong Yunye kneel and apologize and even threatened to break his legs. Such audacity was astonishing.
Ye Qingfeng gave him a reassuring look, smiling lightly, "Don't worry, even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up!"
The people behind Dong Yunye looked at Ye Qingfeng as if he were an idiot, and that beautiful girl gently shook her head with a deep sigh.
"Good looks but an ignorant person!"
Dong Yunye approached Ye Qingfeng with amusement, "Kid, do you know who I am? How dare you talk to me like that?"
"Your accent doesn't sound like someone from Jinling City, okay, you don't know me, I won't blame you for your ignorance. Now, if you kowtow and apologize, I'll let you walk out standing, how about it?"
Dong Yunye simply saw Ye Qingfeng as a disabled person. He said this intentionally to mock him. Anyone who dared to offend and threaten him, even if Ye Qingfeng kowtowed and apologized now, Dong Yunye wouldn't let him off.
