"I'm not so old that I need help walking."
Zhao Yunhai chuckled and pushed Li Tianhua's hand away. Ah Er and Ah San were already outside, standing guard. 138 Reading Net
"Young Master Zhao, you joke too much." Li Tianhua showed no embarrassment, simply retracting his hand with a smile.
A slight smile curved Zhao Yunhai's lips, and his gaze drifted to the three people behind Li Tianhua.
With a gentle, jade-like complexion, his brows subtly revealed an innate noble aura.
It naturally emanated as he alighted from the car, making those who saw it feel a baseless sense of inferiority.
Zhao Yunhai was quite pleased with his own appearance, a description that could only be called divinely crafted. With such a face, it was impossible for him not to be a scoundrel.
This handsome face was enough to make countless women flock to him. Moreover, he wasn't just handsome; he was approachable and incredibly wealthy.
Zhou Wanting was indeed beautiful. Compared to the women he had lingered with in his past life, Zhou Wanting could certainly rank among the top.
However, no matter how beautiful a woman was, if she was disobedient, Zhao Yunhai wouldn't like her. In his past life or this one, he would never indulge women.
"Young Master Zhao." Regardless of how stifled he felt, Zhou Xiong had to behave like a loyal dog in front of Zhao Yunhai.
"Dad, why are you so subservient to him? Is being rich all that matters?"
Zhou Wanting, seeing her father's demeanor, instantly became indignant. She directly helped her father up, her face flushing with anger as she glared at Zhao Yunhai.
Ye Fan also directly stepped in front of Zhou Wanting, a hint of arrogance appearing on his ordinary face.
In Ye Fan's opinion, although Zhao Yunhai's bodyguards had some martial arts skills, they were definitely not his match. Once a fight broke out, he could easily deal with all three of them.
"So this is what it feels like for the villain to face the protagonist."
A cold glint flashed across Zhao Yunhai's face. As expected, protagonists always had condescending faces. Just looking at him made his heart churn with irritation.
However, he didn't let the protagonist's condescending demeanor cloud his judgment. The unseen template before his eyes immediately materialized.
A golden box with a golden question mark began to shake violently.
The golden light intensified within the box, and in the next second, it spread across the entire template.
A massive die spun wildly. Its six faces were blank. As it finally stopped, numbers finally appeared on the blank surface facing Zhao Yunhai.
[Six]
This meant that Zhao Yunhai had not only acquired Ye Fan's abilities directly but had also multiplied them by six. This was equivalent to multiplying the original power by six.
This meant that Zhao Yunhai could now easily handle Ye Fan, able to see every move and trick Ye Fan made and effortlessly counter his attacks.
Furthermore, the force of a punch from Zhao Yunhai would be six times that of Ye Fan's punch.
All of Ye Fan's abilities, after being super-multiplied by the template, were perfectly integrated into Zhao Yunhai's body without any side effects.
Zhao Yunhai felt the immense power that had appeared out of nowhere within him. He felt no discomfort; instead, he used this power as if it were his own, as natural as moving his limbs, as if he were born with it.
Ye Fan, being the protagonist, had senses sharper than a dog. He immediately sensed that Zhao Yunhai's body had undergone a subtle but unusual change.
This was true power. A faint glint flashed imperceptibly in Zhao Yunhai's eyes. He was now eager to spar with Ye Fan, to test the strength he had just gained.
"What do you want?" Ye Fan asked sternly as the other man approached him.
If the other man dared to take another step forward, then he shouldn't blame Ye Fan for being impolite.
Even if the other man was the son of the richest man, Ye Fan would still teach him a lesson.
Ah Da and the other two stood by Zhao Yunhai's side. If Ye Fan made a move, they would instantly subdue him.
"Slap!" Zhao Yunhai's palm landed directly on Ye Fan's shoulder.
Ye Fan's expression changed drastically. His eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Zhao Yunhai, unable to comprehend when he had moved.
Moreover, he felt the suppressing force in the other man's palm, like a lock that firmly pressed down on his right shoulder, rendering him unable to exert any strength.
Zhao Yunhai coldly threatened Ye Fan in his ear, "Young man, remember, some people are not to be trifled with, including your master, Wu Guofeng, who has retired to the mountains."
Being threatened with his master instantly ignited Ye Fan's fury. His face turned crimson, and he glared at Zhao Yunhai as if he were about to devour him alive.
Very good, truly very good. He hated people who used those close to him to threaten him more than anything.
Zhao Yunhai, seeing Ye Fan's furious glare, smiled instead of getting angry. His cold laughter sent shivers down everyone's spines.
In his eyes, Ye Fan was already a dead man; it was only a matter of time.
However, he wouldn't kill him in such a public place. That wouldn't be arrogance; that would be mindless and foolish.
Zhao Yunhai directly ignored Zhou Wanting, who was about to speak, and brushed past her, raising two fingers to signal for his subordinates to follow.
Ah Da and the other two followed behind Zhao Yunhai. Li Tianhua quickly caught up and signaled Zhou Xiong with his eyes to follow as well.
Zhou Xiong followed with a face full of worry. To ordinary people, he might seem aloof, but in front of people like Young Master Li and Young Master Zhao, what difference was there between him and an ordinary person? He could only be at their mercy.
Zhou Wanting, seeing that Zhao Yunhai had ignored her, found it hard to accept. After all, Zhao Yunhai used to always try to please her and never missed an opportunity to win her favor.
Why had he changed so suddenly?
"Let's hurry and follow them, so Uncle Zhou doesn't get bullied by them."
Ye Fan quickly reminded Zhou Wanting, who was standing there fuming.
"Hmph, I don't believe they can do anything to me."
Zhou Wanting snorted with extreme arrogance, her spoiled young lady temper flaring up.
People with such proud and spoiled temperaments had clearly never experienced the harshness of society.
Ye Fan followed with a helpless smile. This young lady was too naive. How could she understand the dirty tricks of these second-generation rich kids?
Zhou Xiong's chairman's office had already been usurped. Li Tianhua, meanwhile, played the role of a lackey by Zhao Yunhai's side.
Zhao Yunhai sat in Zhou Xiong's chairman's seat, idly fiddling with the items on the desk, not saying a word. The atmosphere became strangely uncomfortable, making Zhou Xiong very uneasy.
It was clear that the other party had malicious intentions, but even if he lost the entire Zhou Corporation, he would never use his daughter as a bargaining chip.
"Why aren't you talking? Let me tell you, Zhou Corporation doesn't need you to spare it. I know you want to force me to comply, but I tell you, forget it. You're not worthy."
Seeing Zhao Yunhai's silence, Zhou Wanting became even more animated. Ah Da and the other two frowned as they listened, but due to the good impression Young Master Yun had of this woman in the past, they could only suppress their urge to intervene.
When Zhao Yunhai snapped back to reality from the super-multiplied template, he was greeted by Zhou Wanting's incredibly noisy voice, which filled him with disgust.
"So noisy, so ignorant. Make her shut up."
