chapter 12 One person does things and one person is responsible

He hastily got up and handed a cigarette to the beer-bellied man, saying, "Brother Du, please don't be angry."

"My father-in-law doesn't know any better; he offended you. Please don't lower yourself to his level," he continued.

The beer-bellied man declined the cigarette, sneering, "No need, I wouldn't dare touch Director Han's cigarette."

"Now, I'm officially informing you that you're fired. Hurry up and pack your bags and get out!" he declared.

Han Feng's face instantly filled with despair. The hat he had just acquired was taken away like this; how could he accept it? Finally, he gritted his teeth and said firmly, "Brother Du, Brother Du, please understand, it's not my fault."

"I... I haven't even married his daughter yet, so we have no relationship at all."

"If you want to punish him, feel free to do so. I won't intervene. Please spare me," he pleaded.

Looking at Nelly's Uncle and the relatives, their expressions were as if they had eaten something foul. Han Feng, whom they had held in high regard, meant nothing in front of the beer-bellied man. To protect himself, he even pushed his future father-in-law in front of the danger.

The slap on his face resounded loudly. Uncle pointed an accusing finger at Han Feng and said, "You... you're ungrateful."

Olga Xu was also furious and began tearing into Han Feng, "You ungrateful wretch! After we've fed you so well, you dare to bite the hand that feeds you!"

"What kind of Director are you? We can quit if we want. Is it necessary to treat our family like this?" Han Feng pushed Olga Xu away forcefully, causing her to fall to the ground.

"I'm a respected Director, how can I associate with people like you? Hurry up and get out; give the private room to Brother Du," he said coldly.

In an instant, a family that had just been close moments ago turned against each other for the sake of self-interest, leaving people feeling sorry for them. Olga Xu burst into tears.

Uncle made a ruthless move and played his trump card. "Let me tell you, my nephew-in-law is Thorne Fang from the Fang family. If you won't give me face, at least give face to Thorne Fang."

The beer-bellied man suddenly showed interest. "If I'm not mistaken, you're the Xu family, right?"

Uncle immediately nodded, thinking that this move had worked. "That's right. This lady here is Nelly Xu, the fiancée of Thorne Fang."

The beer-bellied man responded coldly, "Heh, Thorne Fang does have some face."

"But if he's willing to offend me because of you, I'll livestream myself eating shit!"

Everyone instantly turned ashen. Not even Thorne Fang could suppress the beer-bellied man!

The beer-bellied man looked at Nelly Xu with a sly smile. "Speaking of which, Nelly Xu is quite famous now. Publicly humiliating Thorne Fang by making him wear the green hat caused a sensation throughout Linhai City."

"Let me guess, which one of you picked up Nelly Xu, this broken shoe..."

Nelly Xu blushed with shame and wished she could find a hole to hide in. Meanwhile, Pryor Ye slowly stood up, a murderous intent in his eyes.

Mamie Li was terrified and tugged at Pryor Ye's sleeve, saying, "Sit down, please sit down."

"He can continue cursing; let him vent his anger first," Pryor Ye said indifferently.

"In this period, there have been people with no eyesight provoking Nelly Xu. Today, I will make an example of them." After saying that, he took a deep drag on his cigarette, and the ember started burning.

In the next moment, he suddenly stuffed the burning cigarette into the beer-bellied man's mouth, then clamped his throat, pressing him against the wall.

A nearly 300-pound fat man was lifted off his feet.

Wu, wu, wu!

The fat man groaned in pain, struggling violently, but Pryor Ye's hands seemed like vise grips, holding him firmly in place.

Boom!

The Xu family members' minds exploded. Even someone as formidable as Thorne Fang couldn't stand up to Pryor Ye's beating! It was a suicide move. However, they felt relieved afterward. They were glad that Pryor Ye took action, as this would redirect the beer-bellied man's anger towards him. If the Xu family distanced themselves from Pryor Ye, they might be able to escape unscathed.

Nelly Xu was terrified and rushed to pull Pryor Ye away. "Let go, please let go."

Pryor Ye forcefully threw the beer-bellied man to the ground, causing the floor to shake. The beer-bellied man coughed violently, trying to expel the cigarette butt, but he ended up coughing up blood.

"Die, you must die," the beer-bellied man's eyes were filled with terrifying rage. "Someone, help! Quickly, someone!"

Nelly Xu grabbed Pryor Ye's hand and walked to the window. "Quick, jump out of the window and escape from Linhai City to avoid trouble."

However, Uncle and many relatives suddenly blocked the window. "Hmph, don't even think about leaving. You reap what you sow."

Nelly Xu's face turned pale. Pryor Ye reassured her, "Don't worry, Nelly Xu. Everyone will be responsible for their own actions. They won't dare to do anything to me."

"You..." Nelly Xu was so angry that she couldn't speak.

When Waite Liu heard the beer-bellied man's screams, he hurriedly rushed in with his men. The scene before him made Waite Liu's pupils dilate. "Who did this?"

Uncle pushed Pryor Ye forward and said, "It was him, he's the one who attacked."

"We don't know him."

Suddenly, Tyson Xu remembered something and quickly pulled Mamie Li up and away from Pryor Ye. At this moment, Pryor Ye was like a hot potato, and no one dared to get close to him.

The moment Waite Liu saw Pryor Ye, he wished he were dead. He would rather face the King of Hell than face Pryor Ye.

Pryor Ye looked at Waite Liu, who was trembling with fear, and sneered, "Waite Liu, your subordinates are quite arrogant. Not only did they snatch someone else's private room, but they also insulted people recklessly. Impressive."

Waite Liu collapsed and knelt down. "Mr. Ye, it's my fault. I didn't discipline my men properly. I deserve to die."

"Don't worry; I will definitely punish Van Du severely."

"Van Du, you're fired, and you'll face an investigation."

The beer-bellied man's face turned ashen, and he felt utterly desperate. He couldn't believe what kind of person he had provoked. Even Waite Liu knelt before him.

Pryor Ye said coldly, "Get lost. If I ever see you or your subordinates abusing your authority again, I'll demand your heads."

Waite Liu hurriedly thanked him and left with his men, looking disheveled. His clothes were soaked with cold sweat because he knew that when Pryor Ye demanded someone's head, he meant it.

Silence enveloped the private room; you could hear a pin drop. The Xu family members were dumbfounded, their mouths wide open, unable to believe what they had just witnessed.

The irony of the situation was too much to bear. Han Feng, whom they had flattered and praised, and even the unattainable Thorne Fang, were treated like grandchildren by the beer-bellied man. Meanwhile, Pryor Ye, whom they had despised and mocked, was treated like the beer-bellied man's master.

Who exactly was this son-in-law of the Xu family?

Pryor Ye looked lovingly at Nelly Xu and asked, "Nelly Xu, are you full now?"

Nelly Xu, still in shock, finally regained her composure and replied, "Yes, I am."

Pryor Ye said, "Let's go, take a walk outside."

Nelly Xu nodded immediately, and as they walked to the door, Pryor Ye suddenly spoke to the petrified beer-bellied man, "Just now, these people said they didn't even know me. Did you hear that?"

The implication was clear: I don't know them either, so you don't have to worry about me. You can deal with them as you see fit.

The beer-bellied man was overjoyed. "Understood, Mr. Ye, please rest assured."

The Xu family members' hearts trembled. After leaving the private room, Nelly Xu's face was filled with concern as she asked Pryor Ye, "Are you really not going to help Uncle and the others?"

Pryor Ye smiled gently, "I'll listen to you."

Nelly Xu took a deep breath and said, "After all, we're family... so let it go."

Pryor Ye agreed, "Okay."

"Let Uncle and the others go to our parents. My parents lost face because of me, and I want them to regain their lost dignity."

Nelly Xu blushed slightly and said, "You're so considerate."

As expected, as soon as Pryor Ye left, the beer-bellied man began to threaten Uncle and the others.
