56: Chapter 56 Being Schemed Against_1 56: Chapter 56 Being Schemed Against_1 After all, Ghost Qi was a well-known figure in Ninghai City East District!

But when Ye Long said this, he clearly didn’t give Ghost Qi any face, not even a tiny bit, especially since Ghost Qi had greeted him with a smile!

The two tall and muscular bodyguards behind Ghost Qi were unhappy upon hearing Ye Long’s words.

They glared at Ye Long with fierce faces and said arrogantly, “Kid, who do you think you are to talk to Seventh Brother like that?”

Ye Long glanced at the muscular bodyguard who had spoken.

Without a word, he stepped forward and with a punch and a kick, he neatly brought the bodyguard to the ground!

“And who do you think you are to talk to me like that?

Did I ask you to speak?

You’re so clueless, asking for a beating!” After saying that, Ye Long kicked the bodyguard again.

Acting arrogant in front of me?

You’ll have to see if you have the capital to do so!

With a pained expression, the bodyguard lay on the ground glaring at Ye Long, but that was all he could do—stare.

He had no way of handling Ye Long!

“Ye Brother, what do you mean by this?

I, Ghost Qi, don’t seem to have offended you, have I?” Ghost Qi said to Ye Long in a deep voice, clearly dissatisfied with Ye Long’s attitude.

Ye Long looked at Ghost Qi, smiled, and nodded.

“That’s right, you haven’t offended me.

If you had, you’d be in the same situation as Fathead Snake right now!”

“You…” Ghost Qi looked at Ye Long, fuming inside.

He had seen arrogant people, but he had never come across someone as arrogant as Ye Long.

Ghost Qi was a smart man and not someone who easily showed his emotions, although he hated Ye Long to death right now.

Ghost Qi understood he was no match for Ye Long.

If he were to argue with him now, he would be the one at a loss in the end, especially since Ye Long liked to talk with his fists rather than reason!

“Alright, if there’s nothing else, get out of here quickly.

I don’t have the time to dawdle with you all!” Ye Long said, waving his hand impatiently.

“Hmph!”

Ghost Qi huffed angrily, then turned and left with his two bodyguards!

“Bye-bye!” Ye Long grinned and waved his hand.

He had intentionally acted that way just now.

Since Mei wasn’t comfortable exposing the relationship, he would do it for her.

After all, he didn’t care about him.

After Ghost Qi left, Xiao Lan walked over, looking incredulous, and patted Ye Long on the shoulder!

“What’s up?

Are you thinking of getting a room with me?” Ye Long turned and asked with a saucy smile.

Xiao Lan was in no mood to joke with Ye Long.

Instead, she pointed towards the entrance and said, “Do you know who that person just now was?”

“I know, wasn’t that Ghost Qi?

What about it?” Ye Long nodded, puzzled.

“You know it was Ghost Qi, and you still dare to treat him with that attitude?” Xiao Lan couldn’t believe it.

It was well known that in East City District, not many people dared to speak to him like that.

“Why shouldn’t I?

Is he that impressive?” Ye Long spread his hands and asked.

“Impressive, but now I think he’s not as impressive as you.

Ye Long, I’m growing more and more in awe of you.

How can such bizarre things keep happening to you?

Tang Ming is your underling, and you don’t give a damn about Ghost Qi either…” Xiao Lan shook her head in disbelief.

“There’s nothing impressive about Ghost Qi.

Compared to me, it’s practically an insult!” Ye Long patted his chest and said.

“Awesome!” Xiao Lan gave Ye Long a thumbs up.

“Xiao Lan Meizi, are you, like, totally in awe of me?” Ye Long looked at Xiao Lan and asked.

“Yeah, in awe!” Xiao Lan nodded her head.

“Since you’re in awe of me, then let’s go get a room together!” Ye Long immediately made a suggestively lecherous face.

“Pervert!” Xiao Lan rolled her eyes at Ye Long—this guy had set his sights on her; all he knew was to shout about getting a room with her.

“Xiao Lan, there’s something I don’t understand.

Why does Mei need someone like Ghost Qi, of his caliber, to cover for her!” Ye Long asked, puzzled.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Lan replied, “Actually, there are two reasons for this.

One is that apart from Fathead Snake, Ghost Qi is the biggest force in the East City District.

You might not think much of him, but in East City District, when you mention Seventh Brother, everyone has to show some respect!”

“Damn, with just that kind of virtue?

Then, shouldn’t I be dominating the whole Ninghai City?” Ye Long scoffed, spreading his hands in disdain, unable to understand how someone with that kind of strength could be Boss.

“Cut it out, you think everyone’s as much of a freak as you?

You’re such a weirdo!” Xiao Lan waved a dismissive hand, still feeling like she was dreaming about the night Ye Long just jumped down from a building, thinking that if it had been an ordinary person, they would have been killed on impact.

“And the other reason?” Ye Long asked again.

“The other reason is a bit embarrassing to say out loud!” Xiao Lan said.

“What reason?” Ye Long asked, confused.

“Actually, the main reason is that Ghost Qi can’t mess with women!” Xiao Lan said in a low voice.

“Huh?”

“It’s because years ago, Ghost Qi got into a fight, got ambushed by someone and had his… well, you know, disabled.

So Mei felt safe and followed Ghost Qi to open this KTV!” Xiao Lan said somewhat awkwardly.

Hearing Xiao Lan’s explanation, Ye Long couldn’t help but smile.

So, Ghost Qi had such an embarrassing past!

“Haha, so that’s how it is!” Ye Long couldn’t help but break into laughter.

“You, just make sure you don’t tell anyone else that I told you this.

If Ghost Qi hears about it, then I won’t be able to stay in Ninghai City!” Xiao Lan said.

Ye Long casually pulled Xiao Lan into his arms and then said, “No worries, I’m here.

If anyone dares to bully you, I’ll take their life!”

Xiao Lan leaned against Ye Long’s solid chest, indeed feeling quite protected!

However, Xiao Lan noticed that Ye Long’s hand on her shoulder was starting to wander.

This guy was up to no good again, annoyingly mischievous!

“Tsk tsk, Xiao Lan, you’re becoming more and more adorable.

I like you a lot, full marks!” Ye Long said with a mischievous smile.

“You big hooligan, there are so many people around, aren’t you ashamed!” Xiao Lan retorted vigorously, twisting Ye Long’s arm.

This guy didn’t care whether there were people around or not.

“How about we find a place where there’s no one?” Ye Long suggested.

“Go away, I still have work to do!” Xiao Lan freed herself from Ye Long’s roving hands and then went back to the front desk.

Ye Long could only sigh helplessly, thinking that one day he must tame this Xiao Lan Meizi completely, to keep her always tempting him!

Just when Ye Long was bored, his phone started to ring!

Not many people knew his number, so who could it be?

Immediately, Ye Long took out his phone and saw that it was Tang Ming, his rich boyhood friend!

Why was this guy calling?

Ye Long answered the phone with a puzzled tone, “Little bro, what’s up?”

“Boss…

Boss, I’m in trouble.

I…

I’ve been set up!” Tang Ming said, panting on the other end of the phone.
