Chapter 1693: What Life is All About

“Come out. Was it fun to watch?” said Yang Ming mockingly as he stared at the presidential suite’s door with a smile after Xiao Zhang and the others exited the room.

Yang Ming had used his special ability and seen Chen Zhiye standing in the presidential suite a long time ago. Chen Zhiye had seen everything that happened outside through the “peephole”.

However, Yang Ming didn’t call him out immediately. He spoke sarcastically only after his men took down Chen Zhiye’s bodyguards.

Chen Zhiye was already sweating at this moment. He didn’t expect Yang Ming to ambush his two bodyguards with a group of people in front of the door! Indeed, as Yang Ming said, he had been in the president’s interior suite monitoring the situation outside through the “peephole.”

Chen Zhiye had the idea to let his two bodyguards provoke Yang Ming and teach him a lesson. He was also furious at Yang Ming. He wanted to show Yang Ming his power, so he commanded the two bodyguards to play by ear beforehand.

He would hide in the presidential suite and watch secretly at that time so that he had an excuse for not being present. It would just be his bodyguards’ idea. In this way, Chen Fei would not have any recourse even if he was dissatisfied.

Yang Ming suddenly talked about the incident of peeing on his bodyguards last night while Chen Zhiye was watching a good show. Chen Zhiye was startled because he didn’t know about this incident! However, he knew that Yang Ming was not messing around or lying just by looking at his bodyguards’ expressions of hatred. Chen Zhiye just didn’t know the details of the story. Neither of the two bodyguards had told him this. They wanted to hide it because it was too shameful.

However, Chen Zhiye roughly understood the incident after Yang Ming’s explanation! His bodyguards were monitoring Yang Ming. When they found that Yang Ming wanted to go to the bathroom, they rushed into the bathroom first to prepare an ambush.

Unexpectedly, their actions and intentions had been discovered by Yang Ming. Yang Ming deliberately didn’t enter the bathroom door, which made them curiously stick their ears to the door panel to figure out what was going on outside. They wanted to find out why Yang Ming hadn’t entered the bathroom.

Yang Ming was precise at estimating time. He kicked the door right after they placed their ears on the door panel, causing them to tumble onto the ground. Without knowing how it happened, they hit the trash can and the rubbish inside covered their bodies.

Yang Ming then walked into the bathroom while pretending to be drunk and urinated on the garbage dump. As a result, the urine drenched the heads of his bodyguards!

This was the whole plot of the tragedy. It could be said that Chen Zhiye had a rich imagination. He could imagine the entire incident based on Yang Ming’s few sentence explanation, and it was very similar to the truth.

Chen Zhiye did not expect Yang Ming to actually play tricks with his bodyguards, but this was nothing. He had heard from Chen Xiaolong that Yang Ming was despicable, so it was reasonable for him to do such acts.

It was just that Chen Zhiye was shocked by Yang Ming’s following words! The brake system’s failure yesterday was also related to Yang Ming! Chen Zhiye wasn’t only shocked, he also secretly thought that Yang Ming was so fierce that he dared to do anything. Wasn’t he afraid that the bodyguards would actually crash and he would have to take legal responsibility? He really thinks that he can be unbridled just because his father-in-law, Chen Fei, is the chief of the police bureau?

Chen Zhiye had actually misunderstood Yang Ming. Yang Ming was unbridled because of his Supernatural Investigation Bureau identity. It was normal for Yang Ming to eliminate these two people who followed him with ill intentions. Xia Bingbao would not say anything even after he knew about this incident.

Chen Zhiye thought that he should take precautions against Yang Ming after learning of his unbridled nature! His thought came from the fact that Yang Ming dared to talk about what he had done yesterday in the presence of his bodyguards!

What did this mean? It meant that Yang Ming was either fearless or he had lost his mind and wanted to die! However, it seemed that the first option was more likely. Yang Ming was definitely not a fool in Chen Zhiye’s eyes.

Chen Zhiye understood everything once Yang Ming said, “Take them down and treat them well.” Yang Ming had really left himself room to maneuver. He didn’t come alone; there was an ambush at the door!

Chen Zhiye didn’t think much about how Yang Ming’s men opened the room’s door. He thought that maybe his bodyguards did not close it properly, or Yang Ming played some tricks!

Chen Zhiye never thought that Xiao Zhang and the group of people just now were the hotel security guards, and that they used the housekeeping’s master key to open the door!

Chen Zhiye also did not care much when Yang Ming said that “here is my territory”. Chen Zhiye thought that Yang Ming only meant that this was Song Jiang and not the South, instead of meaning that this hotel was his territory.

So, even though Chen Zhiye had a rough guess, he had not guessed the real essence of the matter. He had not understood that Yang Ming’s current identity was no longer the hooligan he used to be! The reason why Yang Ming was so confident when facing Chen Zhiye was that his identity and value had far exceeded Chen Zhiye. Chen Zhiye wouldn’t be able to catch up.

This was the real reason why Yang Ming dared to be so arrogant. He was not this calm when he faced Wang Xifan in the old days because he did not have his current identity.

“Why is it so noisy…” Chen Zhiye yawned and walked out bewilderedly. “I was napping earlier, what’s wrong… Oh? Yang Ming is here?”

Chen Zhiye knew that Yang Ming’s men were stationed outside and no longer mentioned the matter of showing his strength to Yang Ming. He switched to an appeasing strategy. Although he had no idea where the group of people at the door came from, he knew that Yang Ming was the king of small gangsters back when he was in school. Therefore, he must be a big gangster in society now.

Chen Zhiye was unwilling to provoke such people. He hired two bodyguards who were former gangsters when he was in the south because he was afraid of being harassed by gangsters, and there was actually way less trouble.

Chen Zhiye also didn’t want to cause too much trouble in Song Jiang, but he was a bit confused. Why did Chen Fei find such a son-in-law? How is this possible?

“Chen Zhiye, why are you pretending that you just woke up and had nothing to do with everything that happened?” Yang Ming sneered, “You already made sounds when you were leaning on the door panel. Did you think that I didn’t hear it? ”

“This… hehe … ” Chen Zhiye smiled awkwardly. “Student Yang Ming, it is normal for the bodyguards to hold a grudge against you due to the trick you played on them yesterday. It was not my order. ”

“Oh, what do you mean?” said Yang Ming with a cold Hmph . He naturally did not believe Chen Zhiye’s nonsense.

“I mean, we can talk peacefully about it…” Chen Zhiye was slightly afraid that Yang Ming would not follow the rules. This kind of person gave him a headache. He was unwilling to yell at these kinds of people when he was in the south. They were unmoved by force or persuasion unless they were pressured by some truly powerful people.

“What do you want to talk about?” Yang Ming asked, “Do you want to talk about the great benefits you want to give me?”

“Yes.” Chen Zhiye regained confidence once he mentioned great benefits, “Yang Ming, what is the purpose of human life on earth?”

“Talking about life with me?” Yang Ming shrugged. “What do you think?”

“I think people need to enjoy life! However, you must have money to enjoy it. How can you enjoy it without money?” Chen Zhiye started to speak leisurely while talking about his expertise. “So, I think that people must make money first before they can enjoy it. Do you agree?”

“Sorry, I disagree with you. I would not say that you’re right.” Yang Ming slightly shook his head.

“Oh?” Chen Zhiye said suddenly, “What do you mean? Do you not like money?”

Chapter 1694: Ignored Somebody

Chen Zhiye had planned everything fully. He believed that most people would agree with his words. How is it possible for one to live for a lifetime without enjoying it? They must have money to enjoy their life.

“I can’t say whether I like it or not. I don’t really have the concept of money anymore,” Yang Ming said calmly. “I feel that I live for the people I love and for those who love me. I want to let the people around me live a better life.”

“How can you make the people around you live better when you don’t have money?” Chen Zhiye frowned. He thought, Why is Yang Ming beating around the bush? He didn’t believe that Yang Ming didn’t like money. He thought that Yang Ming was beating around the bush because the bargaining chip he proposed was not enough. In Chen Zhiye’s opinion, everyone had value. It depended on whether he could afford this value or not.

“How do you know that I have no money?” Yang Ming rhetorically asked. “Moreover, the value of happiness can not be measured by money. You can live well even when you have no money.”

As Yang Ming said these words, he couldn’t help but think of his last years in high school… with Chen Mengyan, Zhao Ying, and Lan Ling. Although he didn’t have a lot of money at that time, he was still very chic and comfortable. It wasn’t necessarily bad

“Yang Ming, I’m not going to beat around the bush with you anymore. I’ll just say it straightforwardly.” Chen Zhiye had no other choices. He would go crazy if Yang Ming kept on beating around the bush like this, so he decided to reveal his purpose and bid his chips directly.

“That is how it should be.” Yang Ming twitched his lips. “I knew that a low-end person like you wouldn’t understand my life goal even after I told you.”

Hey?! Low-end person? Chen Zhiye was mad when he heard the words. What is a low-end person? Is he saying that he’s a high-end person? Isn’t this phrase too rude?

However, Chen Zhiye could not go against Yang Ming right now if he wanted to achieve his goal. Chen Zhiye had no choice but to hold back his anger. “I will say just one sentence, I will give you a million yuan if you leave Chen Mengyan.”

” Oh? ” Yang Ming raised his eyelids and looked at Chen Zhiye up and down as if he was watching a big fool. His gaze made Chen Zhiye feel scared.

“What are you looking at? I will give you a million. Is it a deal?” Chen Zhiye repeated uncomfortably.

“I’m just checking whether you are mentally disabled.” Yang Ming looked at Chen Zhiye sarcastically. “Do you think that a million is a lot?”

“…” Chen Zhiye was going mad. He forced himself not to burst out of anger. “How much do you want?”

“I’ll give you a million to let your wife be with someone else. Would you do it…?” Yang Ming suddenly patted his head when he said until here. He then said, ” Oh, sorry, I just remembered that your wife ran away with someone else. It doesn’t really matter if you do it or not… ”

“Yang Ming, don’t bully me!” Chen Zhiye couldn’t hold onto the anger in his heart anymore and finally erupted! Yang Ming had probed his deep scar and made his heart bleed. He was angry. “Do you think that I’m talking to you here because I’m scared of you? Who do you think you are? Why don’t you just turn to robbery if a million dollars is too little? ”

” Oh, keep it and spend it yourself if you think it is a lot. I’ll leave first if there’s nothing else.” Yang Ming thought yesterday that although Chen Zhiye was abominable, he still had the aura of a superior. It turned out that all of his superior aura was just stupid nonsense.

Yang Ming had really guessed right. Chen Zhiye’s portrayed aura yesterday was something he copied from Caique. How was it possible for him to cultivate the superior aura when he had just become the chairman a few days ago?

Chen Zhiye pretended to be a grandson in front of Caique, so he immediately revealed his true form once Yang Ming triggered him. Although Chen Zhiye was rich, his consciousness had not changed. He used to pretend to be a grandson and would not spend a lot of money. He always thought that he was just working for others and might get fired one day, so he had to save some money to spend. At least he would have savings if he really lost his job.

Therefore, the price he offered to Yang Ming was still based on his old thoughts. Some small farmers would think that one million was already a lot, but it was really nothing compared to his net worth in the billions.

“Wait a minute!” How could Chen Zhiye let Yang Ming leave like this? His goal of finding Yang Ming had not yet been achieved. Wouldn’t it be a waste of effort if Yang Ming just left like this?

“What else do you want?” Yang Ming asked without looking back.

“Well, I underestimated you just now. You think about the price… how about five million?” Chen Zhiye took a deep breath to temporarily suppress the anger in his heart. It would not be too late to teach Yang Ming a lesson after Yang Ming left Chen Mengyan’s side.

He suddenly increased the price by five times to stun Yang MIng’s senses.

“Five million… Can you use five million to make your wife change her mind?” Yang Ming’s sarcastic expression became more obvious. “Do you really think that money is almighty?”

“Yang Ming, one matter at a time. I’m asking you now, so why are you always mentioning my ex-wife!” Chen Zhiye was furious. Why are you talking so much nonsense? Can’t you just say whether five million is enough or not? Just ask for more if it’s still not enough. There is no need to go over and over again like this.

“Well, then you answer me first. Can you use the money to get your ex-wife back?” Yang Ming did not answer Chen Zhiye’s question at all but continued to ask.

“I said that these are two different things. First, my ex-wife doesn’t know that I have so much money now. Second, my ex-wife has remarried. It is not like your girlfriend-boyfriend relationship that can be separated at any time!” Chen Zhiye felt that smoke was coming out of his head. He explained to Yang Ming while resisting the danger of erupting out of anger.

” Hehe, I’m afraid that your ex-wife won’t change her mind even after knowing that you have money, because the one she married afterward is also wealthy. He may not be as rich as you, but money is just a number when it reaches a certain level,” Yang Ming laughed. “He can also buy the things you buy. No matter how much money you have, could you buy everything on earth for your home? Of course not, you can only choose what you like. ”

“What a blunder!” Chen Zhiye finally couldn’t help but fly into a rage, “Yang Ming, why are you saying this to me? You tell me, how much money do you want to leave Chen Mengyan?”

“Why don’t you ask Chen Mengyan how much it will cost to leave me?” Yang Ming asked back.

“I…” Chen Zhiye was at a loss for words. He had already heard from Chen Xiaolong. Chen Xiaolong had tried pursuing Chen Mengyan several times to no result. Therefore, Chen Zhiye decided to start with Yang Ming.

However, it would be a two-pronged attack. Chen Xiaolong had also gone to meet Chen Mengyan while Chen Zhiye met Yang Ming.

“Don’t say these useless words. Just say a number,” Chen Zhiye growled.

“You still don’t understand after so long.” Yang Ming shook his head. “The son is mentally disabled, and the father is dumb. No wonder the child’s mother ran away.”

Yang Ming’s words were extremely caustic. He scolded three people at once. Chen Zhiye’s face turned purple. He would have fiercely slapped Yang Ming if it weren’t for Yang Ming’s hired thugs outside.

“Yang Ming, what do you mean? Are you playing tricks with me?” Chen Zhiye asked with an ashen face.

“I didn’t play tricks with you. You just didn’t understand me this whole time,” Yang Ming sighed. “I have said before that I don’t lack money, but you still talk about one million then five million. I don’t know if you really didn’t understand me, or if you think that I lied to you. ”

“You…” Chen Zhiye had become so mad that he was speechless.

“Moreover, I wanted to leave this place several times but you forced me to stay. How did it become me playing tricks with you?” Yang Ming shook his head.

“Are you rich? I have done some research. Your father, Yang Dahai, is a laid-off worker. I was even the leader of his workshop. Now, the factory has closed down!” Chen Zhiye hissed exhaustedly “Your mother does not work. She was just a part-time worker. Chen Xiaolong told me these things. So how could you be rich? ”

” Oh, you’re right.” Yang Ming nodded. “I never denied the work my parents did, nor do I feel that being laid off was a shame. However, despite saying so much, you still have ignored someone. In my family, besides my parents, there is still me!”
