Chapter 136: Ye Fei, Protect Me
Gao Yangwei, unable to endure Ye Fei’s taunts any longer, shouted at the security department, “Get over here! I’m going to kill this guy!”
A minute later, the security team of the entire Gao family building swarmed around Ye Fei.
The supervisor who had hired Ye Fei rushed over upon hearing the commotion and warned him in a low voice, “Why are you provoking him? Don’t you know he’s the sole heir to the Gao family?”
Ye Fei replied calmly, “It’s precisely because I know he’s the heir that I’m provoking him!”
The supervisor thought he had misheard. He stared blankly at Ye Fei and repeated, “Do you realize he is the sole heir to the Gao family?”
Ye Fei snapped his fingers. “Of course I do. So what?”
Knowing Gao Yangwei’s temper, the supervisor feared he would be dragged down with them. He stepped forward, trying to mediate. “Young Master, this is the bodyguard chosen by the Madam herself. Can we resolve this privately?”
Gao Yangwei shoved the supervisor aside and sneered, “I don’t want him! I want to kill him right now. Do it!”
The security guards didn’t hesitate. They rushed forward, brandishing their batons, and swung them at Ye Fei.
Ye Fei stood his ground, not moving an inch. It was as if he were encased in an invisible shield; despite the guards’ best efforts, they couldn't land a single blow on him.
“What the hell? What’s going on?”
“Does he have a force field on him? Is he Iron Man?”
“Young Master Gao is going to look like a fool today!”
Hearing the whispers, Gao Yangwei flew into a rage. Refusing to believe in such absurdity, he grabbed a baton himself and swung it hard at Ye Fei.
“Haha! I told you there’s no such thing as a force field. See? I hit him, didn’t I?” Gao Yangwei boasted triumphantly, as if this were a remarkable achievement.
Ye Fei looked at him calmly and whistled nonchalantly. “Big brother, aren’t you tired? If you are, why not take a break?”
How was this possible? That was an electric stun baton!
Why did Ye Fei act as if nothing had happened?
Wait.
Gao Yangwei stared at the baton in his hand, dumbfounded. “You’re okay? This is a stun baton! How can you be okay?”
Ye Fei shrugged, looking unimpressed. “It’s just a little toy. It can’t hurt me. Besides, I am at a level you will never reach in this lifetime.”
Gao Yangwei stared at him in terror, muttering, “It can’t be. It’s impossible. How can you be completely fine?”
Xie Yanzi, having learned of her son’s trouble, descended from the top floor. Seeing the state Gao Yangwei was in, she was filled with frustration. It was one thing that the boy lacked talent, but he should have been like his father, content to stay home and read. Instead, he made a habit of causing trouble and had earned a reputation as a spoiled brat.
“Mom! Stand up for me! This dog isn’t human—he insulted me! Tell me, what right does he have to speak to me like that?” Gao Yangwei whined, recounting his grievances as if he were the victim.
Xie Yanzi was a woman who understood priorities; she wasn’t easily manipulated by her child. She knew immediately that Gao Yangwei was the one who had started it.
“Didn’t I tell you not to come to the company? You don’t listen, and now you’re trying to physically assault my employees? Gao Yangwei, you’ve really outdone yourself!”
Her words deflated Gao Yangwei’s arrogance. He tried to defend himself, “Mom, you’re my mother! How can you take his side? Am I the kind of person who goes around causing trouble?”
“Yes, you are! I’m your mother—do you think I don’t know what you’re like? Get out of here! If I see you at this company again, I won’t go easy on you!” she said, every word cold and sharp. She looked like a stern mother, though one had to wonder how her son had turned out this way.
Gao Yangwei stood still, glaring at her. Suddenly, he gave a cold, cynical laugh. “This is the Gao family’s business. Is it really appropriate for someone from the Xie family to be meddling here?”
Ye Fei watched the drama unfold with wide eyes, finding it far more entertaining than any soap opera.
“Gao Yangwei, say that again if you dare!”
Xie Yanzi was in her forties, and Gao Yangwei had to be at least twenty-six or twenty-seven. It seemed she was not his biological mother, but a stepmother.
“I said it! What are you going to do? Go tell the old man?” Gao Yangwei sneered, then turned and stomped out of the office.
The supervisor immediately barked at the guards, “What are you looking at? Get back to work!”
Ye Fei watched the scene with mild confusion. It seemed Xie Yanzi was planning to seize the Gao family assets. With the elder Gao indifferent to worldly affairs and his son obsessed with play, it was no wonder their position was being usurped.
Still, Xie Yanzi’s methods were brilliant. Ye Fei couldn’t help but admire her tactical prowess. Since Xie Yanzi was leaving early to attend to personal matters, Ye Fei was dismissed for the day.
Zhou Danzhuang had asked him to pick up some pastries, so he drove to the shop she had recommended.
As he was about to enter, he spotted a familiar figure by the door.
“Third Senior Sister?”
Bai Yaoyao looked up, her face smeared with cream.
“My god, Sister, what are you doing?”
Bai Yaoyao stood up sheepishly, looking embarrassed. “I know I’m not usually allowed to eat these, but I finally had a chance, so I just wanted a taste. I really only had one bite, just one!”
With her face covered in cream, no one would believe that.
Ye Fei pulled out a tissue and wiped her face. “I won’t tell anyone, just relax. Wait here for me; I’m going to buy some for Ninth Senior Sister.”
Bai Yaoyao nodded obediently, crouching by the door like a little kitten.
When Ye Fei returned, he handed her a cup of coffee. “Drink this, it’ll help with the diet. You don’t want to have trouble getting back into the entertainment industry.”
Bai Yaoyao downed the coffee in one gulp and licked her lips. “I didn’t taste it properly. Can I have another?”
Ye Fei flicked her forehead. “No. You’ve been overeating lately, and Ninth Senior Sister told me to keep an eye on you.”
She didn’t argue, instead following him quietly to the car.
“Ah!”
“Who are you?”
“What are you doing here?”
“Are you a reporter from that magazine?”
Hearing the startled cry, Ye Fei opened the back door and saw Sun Shiyun sitting there, looking flustered.
“Sun Shiyun? What are you doing in my car? You scared my Senior Sister! Can’t you say something before popping up like that? You’re going to give someone a heart attack!”
