NOVEL NEXT Chapter 365: Shall We Go Eat Together?
"Today, I, Wang Ye, am right here! I said it, no one can put me away, that's what I said!"
Oozing authority, his language domineering, an extremely strong momentum burst forth from Wang Ye, who, despite sitting there leisurely, gave off the impression that every movement, even the slightest gesture, radiated an aura fit for a sovereign.
However.
Liu Na, witnessing Wang Ye's behavior, felt deep concern in her heart.
What was Wang Ye doing?
In such a situation, although she too wanted to take a tough stand against the other party, the problem was that they were inherently of higher status than her side, and since Wang Ye indeed made a mistake and the other party came prepared, if this issue wasn't handled properly, then it was all too likely that Wang Ye could easily end up behind bars.
However.
In this situation, Wang Ye was so defiant, it inadvertently roused Liu Na's concerns.
Liu Na tugged at Wang Ye's shoulder, signaling him to keep a low profile, then turned her usually spirited, now reserved, beautiful eyes to Wan Cheng and the others, and spoke:
"Sorry, he's a bit emotional right now, so..."
"Don't."
Wang Ye stopped Liu Na, who was trying to speak for him, and then said, "As I said, I'm only here for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. After the time it takes to finish a cup of tea, if they keep blocking my way, then I'm going to take action."
Wang Ye's words.
Caused Liu Na and Wan Cheng among others to be slightly stunned.
Because the sentence that Wang Ye just uttered wasn't addressed to Liu Na, nor to Wan Cheng and the others, but seemed to be directed at... someone else?
For a moment.
Liu Na glanced at Wang Ye, wanting to reach out and touch his forehead. In the office, with only a few of them present, Wang Ye chose this moment to speak out, which made her wonder, what was going on?
Could Wang Ye be running a fever?
If he wasn't feverish, then Wang Ye wouldn't be talking nonsense at this time.
Wan Cheng and the others, after a brief pause, looked at Wang Ye with derision in their eyes.
In their view, there was only one reason for Wang Ye to act in such a manner.
Wang Ye was confused and scared by them.
And now he didn't know what to do.
Otherwise, why would Wang Ye be speaking to thin air for no apparent reason?
"Wang Ye, I know this matter might be somewhat stimulating for you, but there's no need to be like this, no need to be so scared,"
"At worst, it's just a matter of a few years. After you've served your time, you'll come out a free man again, with no problems,"
In the face of what Wan Cheng and the others said.
Wang Ye remained silent, just sipping tea.
The level of tea in the cup gradually decreased, and just as Wang Ye was about to finish the tea, a laugh sounded and a man of about one meter ninety, not bulky but robust, entered the office. He walked with the powerful stride of a tiger, even his laughter filled with a certain resonance.
Wan Cheng, Liu Na, and the others turned towards the door at the sound of the laughter.
Their casual gaze soon turned serious.
When they looked in the direction of the door, their pupils dilated abruptly. Previously seated, upon seeing the arrival, they couldn't help but stand up from their seats, their faces tense as they spoke to the newcomer:
"General!"
Only Wang Ye finished the remaining tea in his hand in one gulp, then cast his gaze upon the other party, smiling and saying, "I never expected that guy to keep his word, but here he is."
The newcomer, hearing Wang Ye's words, had the corners of his mouth twitch involuntarily.
That guy.
Wang Ye sure had the nerve to address him like that!
In the entire Dragon Country, whether in public or behind someone's back, who wouldn't use honorifics when referring to this person? But Wang Ye, he just went ahead and used 'that person' to address him.
What the newcomer didn't know, however, was this.
The main reason Wang Ye referred to the other as "that person" was because even Wang Ye himself didn't actually know the other's name.
The only thing he knew was.
That the person was very formidable.
The two didn't engage in pointless chatter; instead, they turned their attention to Wan Cheng and his group and said, "Enough! Wang Ye carrying a gun is qualified. Otherwise, shall I go and fetch those documents for you right now?"
"I dare to retrieve them, but they involve secrets. I just want to ask you, do you dare to look at them?!!"
"Hm?!!"
Each sentence they uttered had the force of a roaring lion, and the stature of the person speaking induced an instinctive sense of fear in Wan Cheng and his people.
Moreover, considering the speaker's status, the issue of secrets.
Then, surely it wasn't something they could look at or understand.
For a moment, Wan Cheng and those with him were all quick to say, "We don't dare to look, we don't dare to look."
The problem was resolved.
The visitor walked up to Wang Ye, and the expression on his face, which was stern when facing the others, softened into a smile when he turned to Wang Ye and said,
"Wang Ye, within the time it took to drink a cup of tea, the problem has already been resolved. Is Mr. Wang satisfied?"
"Satisfied," Wang Ye nodded and said to the visitor, "Then, shall we go have a meal together?"
"Forget it."
The visitor shook his head, "Let's skip the meal, I still have things to attend to. Next time there's an issue, I'll come back, I'll come again."
After saying this,
the person left the office directly.
Even as the individual walked out of the office, Liu Na remained in place, somewhat stunned.
All along, she had been wondering how to resolve today's issue.
But unexpectedly, the solution came just as Wang Ye had said it would—it took no more than the time needed to drink a cup of tea to settle everything.
Wang Ye...
He actually knew such a big shot.
Wang Ye then directed his gaze toward Wan Cheng and his group, asking them, "This time, any problem with me carrying a gun?"
"No problem! No problem! No problem at all! How could there be any issue?"
Wan Cheng and his company replied hastily, eyeing Wang Ye with trepidation.
Keep in mind, the general just now had been very polite to Wang Ye, whereas Wang Ye hadn't shown any particular courtesy in return.
Merely from this interaction, one could deduce that Wang Ye might have another identity, and this other identity might be of a status comparable to that of the general!
Yet they had treated Wang Ye so inappropriately just moments ago!
At this point, it wasn't just a matter of them not pursuing Wang Ye anymore.
