“Grandmaster Ye, are you troubled? Do you need my help?” Lin Shanhe asked with a smile on his face.

Ye Lingchen quietly glanced at the Lu family duo, “Trouble wise… yes, slightly.”

“Grandmaster Ye, we’re sorry! Please forgive our insolence against you earlier.”

Lu Tianxiong trembled with fear. With a thud, he knelt on the floor and started kowtowing towards Ye Lingchen.

To kneel in public was humiliating, especially when one had the position and power of Lu Tianxiong.

Yet Lu Tianxiong knew full well that he had to kneel. Not only that, but he also had to present it as sincerely as possible!

Lu Hao followed suit. His tears flowed as he kowtowed and begged, “Grandmaster Ye, I was blind to not recognize your greatness. Please show your generous grace and let me off as a passing wind!”

Ye Lingchen mischievously looked at the two of them.

He must admit that Lu Tianxiong had some capability to have made it this far in life, knowing when to yield when necessary.

As for the others, their eyeballs almost fell out of their sockets from staring, mouths agape, unable to remain shut.

This twist and turns of this plot proved to be beyond their brain circuitry to follow.

The Lu family father and son duo was begging on the floor like a pair of dogs. This situation was something they could not even dream of.

Director Li stared at Ye Lingchen, his heart washed over by a wave of anxiety, thanking the heavens, “To think that he had such a powerhouse backing him. Luckily I’ve treated him courteously all these while.”

Xiao Feifei’s pretty eyes opened wide and placed her hand over her mouth in astonishment, amazed by the revelation.

“Young Master Lu, I remember that you mixed a glass of liquor.” Ye Lingchen shifted his gaze to Lu Hao.

“Grandmaster Ye, you can just call me Lil’ Lu,” Lu Hao replied while trying to squeeze out a smile on his swollen pig-like face.

“Go fetch it over!”

Lu Hao immediately retrieved the glass of liquor from the table in a respectful manner, not daring to delay for the slightest bit.

Ye Lingchen observed Lu Hao calmly, “This liquor… who was it for?”

Lu Hao’s head was filled with cold sweat, his hands trembled as he held onto the glass. “This is for me, just the way I like it.”

“Show me!”

“Of course. Thank you, Grandmaster Ye, for the liquor.”

Having said that, Lu Hao immediately tilted his head backward and shoved the entire glass’ contents down his throat.

The extreme burn from the alcohol assaulted his throat, causing him intolerable pain.

Yet he did not dare stop, nor let a single drop leak from his mouth.

His face scrunched up as he drank the entire glass clean!

“Grandmaster Ye, I won’t do this again. Can you please forgive me, please…” Lu Hao continued to kowtow, his head knocking hard on the floor’s surface. Just from the knocking sound, one could feel the pain.

He knew that Lu family’s survival depended on Ye Lingchen’s whims at that point. If at that moment they showed any signs of insincerity, the Lu family would be done for.
