His plan worked!
Lin Yuan had set up all of these things today for Ye Feng.
He had meticulously planned the entire event for a long time.
Although he possessed a bank balance of 3 billion yuan, and he could exchange them for counterattack points, but he did not plan to put his life on the line in the initial face-off against Ye Feng.
Shen Lan had informed him that he could not think of using a single fatal blow to deal with the protagonist Ye Feng, as the novel world will initiate the proceedings to prevent it from happening.
A fierce blow to Ye Feng would bring about unforeseen consequences.
It was possible that even if Ye Feng died, multiple Ye Feng would spring out immediately and lay claim to being the original protagonist.
Besides, Lin Yuan remembered that Ye Feng had a very complicated background owing to him being the protagonist of the story.
For example, his righteous brother, Gu Qingshan, the underground emperor of Xiling District, was merely a small fry compared to his powerful backer later in the story.
So, the best way of dealing with Ye Feng was to attack him progressively and patiently, siphoning off counterattack points and dealing a severe blow to remove him from the equation.
Lin Yuan had added 20 points to his charm on the way here, bringing his charm attribute to 170 points.
Ye Feng’s charm attribute was roughly around 160 points. If you compare just the attractiveness of the facial appearances of the two, Lin Yuan would have emerged as the winner of the competition.
Moreover, Ye Feng was drunk at the moment, and his charm had significantly decreased.
Apart from raising the charm attribute, Lin Yuan also increased his strength and physique attributes bringing them to 150 points each.
Although there was a still considerably large gap between Ye Feng’s strength and physique attributes and his, Lin Yuan was not anxious because his plan for today did not require that he confront Ye Feng with force. Of course, if a need arose, he would exchange the entire three-billion-yuan bank balance for points from the system and add them to the strength attribute.
However, there was no need to confront Ye Feng using his shortcomings. His advantage laid in his wealth and influence in society, and along with his knowledge of the plot, he could crush Ye Feng easily.
Yes, that’s correct. Lin Yuan wanted to use his strength to deal with the enemy’s weakness.
Hearing Lin Yuan’s voice, Long Wu and the other staff members hurried over and bowed to him to pay their respects.
“Hello Young master!”
“Hello Young master!”
Long Wu and the others, who had previously surrounded Ye Feng, looking at him with the gazes of a hyena, now turned into honest loyal dogs, wanting to be patted by their master.
“What’s going on?” Lin Yuan asked.
Two system prompts sounded in Lin Yuan’s mind.
Looking at the incompetent and furious Ye Feng, Lin Yuan said with a slight smile across his face, “Long Wu, everyone else, retreat from here.”
Ye Feng and Wang Ergou laughed heartily seeing everyone around them retreat.
Ye Feng said, “Now you all understand? I did not grope anyone at all! Your young master can make discerning judgments. He is not only handsome but also has a matchless personal character.”
Ye Feng bowed his head and said gratefully, “My name is Ye Feng. I want to be friends with you, young master, and also this beautiful lady.”
Lin Yuan knew that the gratitude he was showing was a pretense; Ye Feng wanted to use this as a pretext to hook up with Yan Ruyue.
“Stay away from me,” Yan Ruyue took a few steps facing Ye Feng, revealing a look a disgust across her face.
Ye Feng could only stand awkwardly and giggle facing Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan suddenly opened his mouth to say, “Yes, customer, you have not groped anybody.”
Ye Feng smiled upon hearing his words, “He He He! You are correct.”
“But...” Lin Yuan took a long pause before continuing, “But, customer, you are suspected of drinking heavily, and under the influence of alcohol injuring other people, destroying property, causing trouble, etc. I have already reported your wrongdoings to the police.”
“The police should arrive here soon.”
******
A great chapter overall. Perfect way to kick off the month. You can read my take below. Also comment what you feel about the chapter.
Translators Comment– This is a great character moment for Long Wu and Lin Yuan, so I will add some commentary. You can read it if you want and leave if you don’t want.
Long Wu plays a fantastic role in this chapter. Go back and read the last chapter when he said that I understand you have spent generously in the clubhouse but you cannot molest our lady hosts. He knows that Lin Yuan is at the door when he performs the drama. In this chapter, when Lin Yuan was mocking Ye Feng for being poor in the guise of helping him. Long Wu jumped at Ye Feng asking him (the destitute guy) to leave the clubhouse. Ye Fen then flaunts his wealth to which Long Wu counterattacks again by saying how many girls did you molest with your wealth.
This was a systematic cornering of Ye Feng and a portrayal of him as rich, arrogant dude who does not respect woman at all. Lin Yuan tries to save him by pointing that he does not seem to be a bad person (when he was exactly sounding like one) giving Long Wu and the cast the opportunity to slander him with insurmountable evidence. Of course, the only audience for this drama our heroine, Yan Ruyue was manipulated without even knowing it. I have to give credit to Lin Yuan, the director of the film. He is a superb manipulator of emotions. Ye Feng did not want to be seen as a bad guy but neither did he want to be humiliated as a destitute guy in front of Yan Ruyue which meant that he was played like a puppet in their hands and finally lost it under their systematic persecution. The two are a deadly combination and exploited psychological behaviour of him very well.
You also have to love the dialogue of Lin Yuan at the end when he shell-shocked Ye Feng by saying that he had called the police. It was really chick the way he said.
