Chapter 48: She Did Not Play by the Rules

Long Junyao’s face was so cold that water vapour could condense on his face. He said in a stern tone, “You’re begging to die!”

Ye Qingran’s eyes turned slightly, but her face was still full of smiles. “I was kind enough to bless you. How is it that begging to die? Don’t tell me you like people cursing you instead?”

The bright lights in the room fell on her face that was slightly tilted upwards. Her fair skin was as clear as jade. It was flawless, giving off a particularly pure feeling.

Her gaze was like a pure gem, shining brightly.

She looked at Long Junyao with a half-smile. She was unruly and untamed, with a hint of provocation and ridicule.

Long Junyao was stunned.

How could this boy look as beautiful as a woman?

“I don’t like to court death, so I’ve always kept a low profile. That’s because I know that when a person is too arrogant, he will pay the price for his arrogance sooner or later, and no one would even know how he died.” Ye Qingran said with a smile. She smiled sarcastically and continued, “Just like…you, Mr Long.”

Long Junyao stared at her coldly. His face became even more gloomy. “You’re really shameless!”

He used his eyes to signal the people next to him to make a move.

Ye Qingran reacted quickly and dodged the people on her right in an instant. Then, she threw a fierce punch.

Long Junyao brought more than a dozen men with him. Some of them were very skilled and received professional training.

They could not be compared to those hooligans on the street.

Ye Qingran was obviously having some difficulty.

She was unable to defend in time and was hit in the face by a sneak attack.

If this continued, she would be crippled even if she was not killed.

Ye Qingran took a few steps back and threw a bomb. “Long Junyao, what do you think will happen if everyone knows the secret of the Dragon Palace?”

Long Junyao looked at Ye Qingran with cold eyes.

His expression did not change, but his heart skipped a beat.

He immediately recalled the day when Ye Qingran and Dongfang Yu bet on red wine. When Mu Qingxue and Dongfang Yu were dancing, Ye Qingran stared at the hidden camera.

At that time, he suspected that Ye Qingran had discovered something.

But soon, Ye Qingran looked away as if nothing had happened.

After that, there was no movement.

He thought that he was overthinking it, but now it seemed that Ye Qingran had indeed discovered something.

Damn it!

Long Junyao hesitated for a moment and said, “Stop.”

Everyone immediately stopped attacking Ye Qingran.

Ye Qingran heaved a sigh of relief. She held the club with one hand and rubbed her face with the other. Her face was a little painful, and it should be swollen.

Fortunately, she had managed to move her head quickly and dodge some of the force.

Otherwise, her teeth would have been knocked out.

Ye Qingran’s eyes were cold. She looked at long Junyao with a puzzled face and asked, “She is just a plaything. Is it worth it for the big boss of the Dragon Palace to go through so much trouble for her?”

Long Junyao was uncertain.

He was not sure if the secret Ye Qingran told him was what he was thinking about.

He said calmly, “Even if it’s a dog that I have, only I can be the one to beat it up, not to mention that she’s my woman.”

Although Ye Qingran was a little shorter than Long Junyao, her imposing manner did not lose to his. In fact, she was even more imposing. “If you want to be beaten up, I’ll definitely beat you up!”

Long Junyao sneered. “Are you really not afraid of offending me?”

Ye Qingran raised her eyebrows. “Why should I be afraid? I know the biggest secret of the Dragon Palace’s boss. If I’m injured or killed, the video that belongs to the Dragon Palace’s secret will be automatically uploaded to all the major websites. At that time, the entire Jiang City… Oh wait, no, it’s everyone who has been to the Dragon Palace will know that the boss of the Dragon Palace knows their secrets. When that time comes, do you think that they will pay for all the secrets or kill the person who knows it to silence them…hmm?”

She deliberately dragged out the last syllable.

Long Junyao was sure that Ye Qingran really knew everything.

But how did he know?

Ye Qingran looked at him indifferently and continued, “So, Boss Long, do you really want to make yourself and your Dragon Palace disappear from this world because of a woman that you snatched from others for fun?”

Long Junyao did not say anything.

This Ye Qingran was too strange. With just a glance, he could confirm that there were cameras in the private room.

But that was fine. Knowing that there were cameras was not a big deal.

But judging from his tone, he seemed to have evidence.

Evidence that could kill him.

Of course, it could also be that Ye Qingran was bluffing him.

But this was related to the Dragon Palace. He could not afford to gamble.

Ye Qingran sneered, “I don’t think you like Mu Qingxue very much. Why would you sacrifice yourself and your entire fortune for a woman?”

If a man really liked a woman, he would not be willing to share that woman with other men.

What he liked was only Mu Qingxue’s body.

Ultimately, a man will always love power more than a woman or her body.

Because they knew clearly that without power, it was impossible to have the woman they loved.

“Very well then!”

Long Junyao gritted his teeth as he spat out those strange words. He got ready to leave immediately.

However, just as he took a step forward, he was stopped by Ye Qingran.

“Wait.”

Long Junyao turned around and looked at Ye Qingran with a cold gaze.

“What else do you want?”

Ye Qingran did not reply and directly punched Long Junyao in the face instead.

Long Junyao was shocked and looked at Ye Qingran in disbelief.

Ye Qingran said, “What are you looking at? Your people punched me in the face. My face is in a lot of pain right now. I didn’t ask you to pay for the medical expenses, so of course I have to pay you back with a punch!”

So what if he was the male lead?

So what if he was an overbearing CEO?

She had seen plenty of overbearing CEOs before. She did not have to bootlick the one standing in front of her right now.

Even if she had become a useless profligate in this book and lost the Ye family as her support, she was still a top student who graduated from a world-famous top business school.

A Dragon Palace in her eyes was like a small fish in the eyes of a big crocodile.

If she wanted to eat it, she would swallow it in one bite.

Long Junyao suppressed his anger and asked coldly, “Do you really think that you can do whatever you want just because you know my secret? Do you believe that I can make you dead without you even finding out how?”

If looks could kill, Ye Qingran would be riddled with holes by now.

However, Ye Qingran did not even frown in the face of this biting cold killing intent.

“Oh, I’m so scared,” Ye Qingran said, but did not show any fear at all.

Long Junyao’s eyes were like cold stars, like sharp blades, staring at Ye Qingran viciously.

He was weighing in his heart whether he should kill Ye Qingran directly with the risk of his secret being exposed.

Or let Ye Qingran go for the time being.

In all these years, no one had ever dared to be so presumptuous in front of him.

Not to mention hitting him.

If Ye Qingran didn’t die today, she would definitely die in the future!

“Eh, what’s going on? Why are there so many people in the house?”

A voice came from outside. Then, He Cizhou walked in with a smile.

When he came in, he immediately felt the tension in the room and his face slowly sank.
