NOVEL NEXT Chapter 337: Played With Cars Until He Played Himself Out
But still...
What puzzled her was the fact that Zhou Kunyu had clearly not arrived, so why was Wang Ye absolutely certain that Zhou Kunyu was here?
Just as Ke Linger was about to tell Wang Ye that Zhou Kunyu was indeed not there, Zhou Kunyu's voice suddenly rang out, "Wang Ye, stand up for me!"
Ke Linger, He Gu, and the rest turned towards the direction from where the voice came.
They saw Zhou Kunyu, anger evident on his face as he glared at Wang Ye, and behind him stood a group of men armed with steel rods, each bearing an intimidating expression.
After glancing at Wang Ye, Ke Linger and He Gu wondered, how did Wang Ye know that Zhou Kunyu had arrived?
However, by now, that question was no longer important. Zhou Kunyu's arrival, especially with so many people, meant that the issue at hand needed to be dealt with.
Wang Ye did not stand up; instead, with Ke Linger already leaning against him, he reached out and wrapped his arm around her slim waist, meeting Zhou Kunyu's gaze as he retorted, "You want me to stand up, so I must comply? Why should I?"
"Wang Ye, you!"
Zhou Kunyu glared at the arm Wang Ye had around Ke Linger's waist, furious to the point where he felt like chopping Wang Ye's arm right off.
He hadn't even held Ke Linger's hand before. The last time he tried to forcefully take her hand, she had furiously slapped him. And now, he saw Ke Linger leaning into the embrace of another man, her slim waist held by him.
Zhou Kunyu's face grew dark as he addressed Wang Ye, "Wang Ye, I warn you to let go of Ke Linger. If you don't, I wouldn't mind having these men behind me give you a thorough lesson!"
"Oh?"
Wang Ye, unflustered by Zhou Kunyu's threat, merely uttered an "Oh" before unwrapping his arm from Ke Linger's waist.
Just when Zhou Kunyu thought Wang Ye had backed down out of fear, Wang Ye laid his head in Ke Linger's lap, a mischievous smile directed at Zhou Kunyu as he taunted, "How about this, Zhou Kunyu? If you're not satisfied, I can try a few more positions with Ke Linger."
"Mua!"
Ke Linger even leaned down to plant a kiss on Wang Ye's lips.
He Gu, Yao Xin, Tian Hailin, Yan Chuang—they nearly burst out laughing at the spectacle.
And the onlookers who had come for the excitement could barely contain their laughter at this scene.
Still, some were worried about the possible consequences Wang Ye might face.
"Although Wang Ye's mockery of Zhou Kunyu is quite hilarious, he might be severely taught a lesson by Zhou Kunyu next."
"Right, if Wang Ye had just stood up and apologized to Zhou Kunyu, then maybe Zhou Kunyu would've just punished him physically to teach him a lesson. But now that Wang Ye is mocking Zhou Kunyu, the Suye Group might suffer greatly in the aftermath."
"Wang Ye is being too arrogant, not even considering what could happen to him after offending Zhou Kunyu."
Zhou Kunyu looked at the interaction between Wang Ye and Ke Linger, and his face, which had just assumed Wang Ye was afraid of him and was thus submitting, slowly twisted into a visage of indescribable ferocity, ugliness, and distortion.
His eyes fiercely fixed on Wang Ye and Ke Linger as he clenched his teeth and spoke to Wang Ye:
"Wang Ye, I'm giving you one more chance, stand up! All you need to do is apologize to me and let me teach you a proper lesson. If you don't do as I say, your Suye Group will not be able to continue operating!"
"Zhou Kunyu!"
Zhou Kunyu's words immediately sparked anger in Ke Linger. Her beautiful eyes glaring at Zhou Kunyu, she reprimanded him, "We have nothing to do with each other, I've put up with your harassment, and now that I'm with Wang Ye, what's it to you?"
"What's it to me?"
Ke Linger's defense of Wang Ye made Zhou Kunyu's expression even uglier. He took a few steps forward, and the men behind him holding iron rods also followed his steps, moving forward and shouted at Ke Linger in fury:
"Who doesn't know that Ke Linger is the woman I have set my sights on? If I want you, then you're mine! But what I didn't expect is that in just the day I was away, I heard news that you've been getting cozy with this stinking man, Wang Ye. Now, you're even protecting him. It seems that today I must teach you, this vixen, a lesson, so you realize just how formidable I am!"
"Little vixen?"
A murderous intent flashed through Wang Ye's eyes.
He stood up, and before Zhou Kunyu could speak again, Wang Ye quickly approached him. Because of his swift speed, Zhou Kunyu didn't even have time to react as Wang Ye reached him.
Slap!
Wang Ye landed a heavy slap directly across Zhou Kunyu's face.
Wang Ye deliberately controlled the strength of the blow, but the force in his hand still sent Zhou Kunyu flying the moment he struck.
Zhou Kunyu's body hit the ground, his face searing with pain. He had never expected that Wang Ye would not only refuse to admit his wrongs but would also strike him directly.
"Wang Ye! You—you dare hit me!"
Zhou Kunyu stood up with the help of several men, while Ke Linger and He Gu looked at Wang Ye with concern.
It was one thing for Wang Ye not to act, but the fact that he had slapped Zhou Kunyu—a move that was not only unbearable for Zhou Kunyu but also, Zhou Kunyu's father, Zhou Yueshan, was known for being protective of his own.
Zhou Yueshan would surely seek retribution from Wang Ye.
The others, looking at Wang Ye, also had expressions of pity:
"It's over, Wang Ye's Suye Group won't be able to continue from here on out. It's a shame that just as the Suye Group was improving, it's likely to go under."
"I think Wang Ye himself is definitely going to be ruined next. Really, why provoke Zhou Kunyu? Wang Ye himself would never have had to worry about women in this lifetime."
"Alas, now he's played himself to the end."
