Chapter 470: The Father's Stand-In
"Yep, that's the guy who's been dead for over a decade," Lingyun said, oblivious to the others' changing expressions, his voice dripping with jealousy. "I don't get what's so great about him that this woman, even after being married, remains a virgin for him."
After Lingyun's confirmation, the men's faces turned extremely sour. They cursed him inwardly for not clarifying things beforehand and for dragging them into this mess. But since they had taken Lingyun's money, they couldn't just turn against him directly.
One of them warned, "Bro Ling, we think you should back off now. Otherwise, not only will you be done for, but we'll be in trouble too."
"What do you mean? Are you scared?" Ling Yun turned to look at them, clearly displeased. "Aren't you the so-called 'Tigers of the Coastal Area'? Are you afraid of someone dead for over a decade? Do you think he'll crawl out of his grave to settle scores with you?"
"We're not afraid of Ye Lingyun; we're afraid of his son, Ye Fei," one of the burly men said with a wry smile.
"Who doesn't know that the whole southeast is pretty much Ye Fei's territory now? If we mess with him, anyone can guess what the outcome will be."
Another man, clearly more hot-tempered, snapped at Ling Yun, "Watch your mouth, Ling! We're just cooperating; we're not your lackeys. If you dare to speak disrespectfully again, we can kill you in a heartbeat!"
Realizing who he was dealing with, Ling Yun quickly put on a smile and said, "Brothers, I didn't mean it like that. What I meant was, let's be more discreet. If we kill this woman afterward, who will know?"
"Deal!" The burly men immediately agreed to Ling Yun's suggestion. They had seen beauties of Zhuo Feng'er's caliber before, like Ye Xuan, who was known as the "Goddess of the Coastal Area."
But such a level of beauty was out of their reach. So when they first laid eyes on Zhuo Feng'er, they got excited. Now, they felt it was worth taking a risk.
Zhuo Feng'er, who had been sitting on the side, still held out a glimmer of hope because she had sent a text message to Ye Fei. Although the chances of him finding her were slim, it was still a hope. But now, she felt completely hopeless.
A determined look flashed in her eyes as she abruptly pulled the dinner knife out of her forearm and aimed it at her chest. She would rather die than let these men touch her body!
Ling Yun, however, hadn't noticed Zhuo Feng'er's move and continued, "Moreover, as far as I know, Ye Fei and she are enemies. Even if he finds out, he probably won't care about her!"
"Who said I won't care about her?"
After a loud crash, a clear voice came from the doorway. It was Ye Fei, who had kicked the door to pieces.
The reason he hadn't come in sooner wasn't because he was deliberately delaying. When he saw Zhuo Feng'er trying to hurt herself with the knife, he was deeply moved. Although her deep love wasn't directed at him, it still stirred up a deep sense of pity inside him.
With such deep affection, no matter what mistakes she had made, they were forgivable. So at that moment, this woman, who loved her father so much, entered Ye Fei's heart for the first time, giving him an urge to rush in and eliminate those bastards to protect her for life.
But he finally held back because he knew that bursting in would attract the security guards' attention and escalate the situation. And since Zhuo Feng'er wasn't in immediate danger, he patiently waited for the experts he had called to arrive. By now, they had already taken control of the hotel, so Ye Fei didn't hesitate any longer.
"Lingyun!" Before Lingyun and the others could react, Zhuo Feng'er, who had been weakened by the drug, somehow found the strength to jump up and throw herself into Ye Fei's arms. At this moment, she felt so safe and happy.
It's not surprising that Zhuo Feng'er mistook Ye Fei for someone else. As Ye Lingyun's son, Ye Fei was much more handsome than his father but also bore many similarities to him. Plus, Zhuo Feng'er was barely conscious, and the scene of Ye Fei breaking the door to save her was so familiar that she made this mistake.
Holding Zhuo Feng'er's soft and fiery body, Ye Fei felt more than just a flutter in his heart; he felt a strong urge to kill. Because the moment he felt a connection with Zhuo Feng'er, he had already claimed her as his own. Naturally, those who intended to violate her were already sentenced to death in his mind.
"Ye... Ye Fei!" Faced with Ye Fei's cold, murderous gaze, Ling Yun, who recognized him, was the first to react.
With his shout, the others also realized their dire situation and immediately turned pale with fear.
But these men were fighters.
Seeing no way out, they decided to go down fighting. One of them shouted, "Brothers, let's go for it! Take down Ye Fei, and we might still have a chance!" He lunged forward first, followed by the others, except for Ling Yun. Discover hidden tales at My Virtual Library Empire
Ye Fei let out a cold smile, holding Zhuo Feng'er with one arm while casually waving his other hand in the air. The men who had lunged at him flew backward as if they had hit an invisible wall, landing on the ground lifeless.
Seeing this, Ling Yun, who was already terrified, collapsed to the ground. He was about to beg for mercy when Ye Fei turned and walked out.
Of course, Ye Fei wasn't planning to let Ling Yun go. Compared to the other men, Lingyun was even more despicable.
From their conversation, Ye Fei suspected that Ling Yun had embezzled all of Zhuo Feng'er's assets.
Although Ye Fei didn't care about the money, it was something Zhuo Feng'er had worked hard for, so he needed to make Ling Yun give it back before he died. Most importantly, Zhuo Feng'er had completely lost her mind and was instinctively clinging to him, writhing in his arms.
After instructing the experts waiting outside to keep a close watch on Lingyun, Ye Fei directly carried Zhuo Feng'er to the top floor of the hotel and entered a random suite. The hotel was now completely under the control of the Lingyun Association, so there was no need to worry.
"Lingyun, Lingyun..." Zhuo Feng'er clung tightly to Ye Fei, calling out unconsciously. Her voice, besides being seductive due to the intense desire, also carried a hint of panic, clearly affected by what had just happened.
Ye Fei couldn't help but chuckle bitterly. It seemed he would have to play the role of his father today, otherwise, what had happened might leave a shadow in Zhuo Feng'er's heart. So he gently whispered in her ear, "Feng'er, don't be afraid. I'm here."
Sure enough, with Ye Fei's comforting words, the panic in Zhuo Feng'er's voice disappeared. However, because of this, the desire within her intensified. She kept calling out in her extremely sexy voice while clinging tighter to Ye Fei and writhing her fiery body against his.
In the past, Ye Fei might have been able to stay calm and use his inner strength to help Zhuo Feng'er neutralize the drug in her system. But now that he had already taken a liking to the beauty in his arms, he could no longer hold back.
