Urban Martial Saint

To tell the truth, nobody in the company expected Ye Qing to help Wang Xuan pick up his things and organize them.

These people in the company had all suffered from Wang Xuan’s troubles and had mostly been reported on by him. Yet, the one who was troubled the most by Wang Xuan and reported on most frequently—the one who was most ruthlessly sabotaged—was Ye Qing. Anyone else would have at least kicked Wang Xuan out of Yunchi Company, let alone help him pick up his things.

Yet, it was Ye Qing who helped Wang Xuan. Ye Qing looked at Wang Xuan and said, ”After all, we have worked together for so long, there’s no need to become enemies.”

Looking at the pile of things in front of him, Wang Xuan’s face turned shades of purple and blue. After a while, he spat and cursed, ”Ye, you son of a bitch, stop pretending to be compassionate. I know you well, we’ll see who crosses whose path!”

Just as Wang Xuan picked up his things and was about to leave, Lin Huayu’s voice came from behind, ”Wait a minute.”

Two bodyguards came over and stopped Wang Xuan, who turned to look at Lin Huayu, involuntary smile appearing on his face.

He could speak harshly to Mu Qingrong and harshly to Ye Qing. But he never dare speak harshly to the daughter of the Lin family.

”Miss Lin, do you need something?” Wang Xuan’s mind raced—perhaps Lin Huayu had finally recognized his talents and wanted to hire him for Lin Corporation? If that were the case, how gloriously uplifting it would be!

”Of course, I need something!” Lin Huayu walked up to Wang Xuan, suddenly slapped him across the face.

Wang Xuan was startled, one hand covering his face, and looked at Lin Huayu in astonishment, ”Miss Lin, what... what are you doing?”

”What am I doing?” Lin Huayu slapped him again and said, ”Have you forgotten what you lied to me about last time? I asked you if Ye was still working here, and you told me he had been fired? What do you mean by that? You made me go around in circles to find Ye, and you still have the audacity to ask what I’m doing?”

Wang Xuan covered his face, feeling utterly humiliated in front of everyone. Yet, facing the daughter of the Lin family, he did not dare to retort and could only look at Lin Huayu resentfully, then angrily at Ye Qing.

”Still looking unconvinced, huh!” Lin Huayu’s anger flared again, she reached out to hit him, but Ye Qing stopped her.

”Enough,” Ye Qing looked at Wang Xuan and said, ”Manager Wang, although our time together wasn’t very pleasant, you are still very capable. I hope you can find better development elsewhere.”

”I definitely will do well, I definitely will come back. The humiliation I suffered today, I will definitely settle the score with you one day!” Wang Xuan bellowed without being moved by Ye Qing’s magnanimity, and instead grew even more resentful towards Ye Qing.

A morally warped man like him can’t be changed, and Wang Xuan was clearly such a person.

”You sure talk big!” Lin Huayu, enraged, said to the bodyguards beside her, ”Go and cripple his legs!”

The two bodyguards obediently moved towards him, and Wang Xuan shuddered, clutching his things and trying to run. However, the bodyguards were much faster and were about to catch up.

Ye Qing sighed, stepped forward, and stopped the bodyguards, ”Miss Lin, this is Yunchi Company, give Director Mu some respect.”

”Fine, I’ll give Ms. Mu and you face!” Lin Huayu waved her hand, ”Just go!”

Wang Xuan did not even dare to utter a word of pretense now; he knew that if Lin Huayu truly wanted to break his legs, he could do nothing about it.

Wang Xuan hurriedly ran to the company’s entrance and then turned around, shouting at the top of his lungs, ”Ye, you and I are not finished!”

After saying that, Wang Xuan turned and ran, fearing Lin Huayu’s bodyguards might chase after him.

However, he didn’t even notice someone behind him and bumped into them as he turned. Not only did his belongings scatter everywhere, but he also staggered from the impact. Wang Xuan, already furious, bellowed, ”Are you fucking blind, how dare you bump into me!”

The person he yelled at was stunned for a while before regaining their senses, turning to look inside Yunchi Company. Seeing Ye Qing standing in the lobby, they called out joyously, ”Little Ye, Little Ye!”

Ye Qing turned to look; the person was Li Lianshan, who had hurried over with a few guys, though it was unclear what for.

”Li,” Ye Qing waved, signaling him to come in.

Li Lianshan didn’t enter but pointed at Wang Xuan, who was bending over to pick up his things, ”Who is this guy, being so arrogant?”

Before Ye Qing could respond, Lin Huayu interrupted, ”That’s Ye’s enemy, who just got fired by Ms. Mu!”

”Enemy?” Li Lianshan was taken aback, then looked down at Wang Xuan, and said, ”What did you do to Little Ye?”

”Mind your own damn business and fuck off!” Wang Xuan said irritably.

”Damn, watch your mouth!” The followers behind Li Lianshan were not pleased. These guys were thugs, and respect was everything on the streets. Not to mention Li Lianshan, even if it was them being scolded, they would have to reclaim some respect. Now that their boss had been insulted, it was an even bigger issue.

Li Lianshan too was infuriated. ”I damn well came over and you bumped into me; I didn’t even say anything and you cursed me out first. Since when have I ever been so humiliated?”

”Fuck off? I think you’re the one who needs to fuck off today!” Li Lianshan kicked Wang Xuan in the shoulder, causing him to lose balance and fall to the ground.

”You looking for trouble, aren’t you!” Wang Xuan yelled, sitting on the ground, ”You dare to hit me? Do you know Lin Sang of Xicheng District? That’s my bro. Believe it or not, I can have people chop you up!”

Li Lianshan turned to his follower and asked, ”Lin Sang? Who’s that?”

”I know him,” a follower said. ”He’s a worthless thug from Chunhua Mouth. Tried to join me a while back, but I didn’t take him in. The guy’s a loser, his deeds are pathetic, and he’s incompetent.”

”I thought he was some big shot!” Li Lianshan sneered, pointing at Wang Xuan, ”Beat him up. I want to see who he can call to chop me up. Damn, I’ve been in Shenchuan City for so many years, and this is the first time I’ve seen someone so arrogant!”

A few followers surrounded Wang Xuan and started beating him up. Wang Xuan cradled his head and scurried around, yelling loudly, ”I’m calling the cops! I’m calling the cops!”

The guy couldn’t intimidate Li Lianshan with Lin Sang’s name, so his immediate thought was to call the cops. Truly a last resort with no other tricks up his sleeve.

Li Lianshan gestured magnanimously, ”Go ahead, tell the cops that Li Lianshan beat you! Damn, why do you have to be such a pain in the ass?”

”You... you’re Li Lianshan...” Wang Xuan’s eyes widened. He frequented entertainment venues and, of course, had heard of Li Lianshan. He was well aware of this underworld figure’s ruthless nature.

He couldn’t understand how Li Lianshan seemed to have a good relationship with Ye Qing. What was going on here? What did Ye Qing do exactly? Why did the daughter of the Lin Corporation treat him so well, and Li Lianshan address him like a brother?

Wang Xuan couldn’t figure it out, but right now, he really regretted everything. If Lin Huayu hit him, at most she might just break his leg or something, since after all, Lin Huayu was a girl and wouldn’t do something too outrageous. But Li Lianshan was different. This man, who came from the underworld, reportedly had several lives under his belt. Killing him would just take a word.

Employees at Yunchi Company stopped their work and watched as several people beat up Wang Xuan outside, many feeling immensely satisfied.

”Good beating! Well done!” Lin Huayu danced with joy in the hall, very relieved.

Ye Qing couldn’t help but sigh. What bad karma did Wang Xuan have in his past life to run into Li Lianshan the moment he stepped outside?

”Alright, stop beating him!” Ye Qing walked out and stopped Li Lianshan’s followers.

”Little Ye, this guy is your enemy, right? Want me to cripple him for you?” Li Lianshan’s words frightened Wang Xuan so much he almost wet his pants.

Ye Qing waved his hand, ”What enemy? It’s just a small misunderstanding, just an old colleague of mine.”

”Still misunderstandings? I beat him so there’s no misunderstanding left!” Li Lianshan charged to kick Wang Xuan again, and Ye Qing hurriedly pulled him back. This guy’s temper was explosive.

Ye Qing finally got Li Lianshan and his men inside Yunchi Company. Wang Xuan, beaten and bloodied, picked himself up from the ground, his movements sluggish and desolate like a defeated rooster. It wasn’t until he entered the elevator that a hint of cold light flashed in his eyes, unnoticed by anyone.

Li Lianshan slapped Ye Qing’s shoulder, ”Man, there are too many villains in the workplace. Catch them, and you need to eliminate them completely, leave no chance for them to rise again, otherwise, they will definitely plot to oust you later!”

Li Lianshan, with his criminal roots, thought about things differently—everything must be handled thoroughly by wiping out the roots. Of course, Ye Qing also agreed somewhat with this point of view, but unless it was a lethal enemy, he wasn’t ready to completely eradicate someone. To Ye Qing, someone like Wang Xuan was just a workplace rival, not worth making an enemy of.

”What brought you here?” Ye Qing changed the subject.

”Nonsense, of course, I came to see you!” Li Lianshan glared, ”I got a message this morning that said you were dead, and I’ve never heard such nonsense in my life. A perfectly fine person, dead just like that? I didn’t believe it. Then, I got another call saying you were back at the company. I was restless, so I came over to check on you. You alright?”

Ye Qing had barely escaped death; how could he say he was fine? He recounted his experience, and Li Lianshan was astounded by the ordeal Ye Qing had actually survived by luck. When he heard that someone had also attempted to assassinate Black Bear Huo Pingping, he couldn’t help but exclaim, ”Is it him?”
