Who Has Yellow Urine? Come Wake Him Up!

[Good thing I was prepared, this poison is useless against me. Damn, I almost lost my life here. But... on the bright side, this shows that Ye Chen hates me to the bone and wants me dead. Looks like I'm doing a pretty good job as the villain!]

After hearing this, Zhou Qiao'er and Lin Ruoxue finally breathed a sigh of relief, both glaring angrily at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen, who had been secretly pleased with himself, suddenly felt a pang of guilt.

What's going on? Why are these two women looking at me like that?

Could it be that they found out I secretly controlled the Gu worm to poison Tang Ao?

That's impossible. The Gu worm is as thin as a hair, you wouldn't notice it without a magnifying glass.

No matter how much Ye Chen racked his brain, he couldn't figure out that Zhou Qiao'er and Lin Ruoxue were glaring at him because they knew he had poisoned Tang Ao. Lin Ruoxue, unable to contain her anger, walked up to Ye Chen and viciously kicked him in the crotch.

"Ah~!!!"

Ye Chen had no time to react, and the pain was so intense that tears immediately sprang from his eyes.

"Get out of here, and don't ever come near Tang Ao again. If you do, I, Lin Ruoxue, will beat you up every time I see you!"

As she spoke, Lin Ruoxue yanked open the door, ready to kick Ye Chen out. Her sudden action left everyone in the private room stunned, especially Tang Ao, whose face was full of confusion and bewilderment:

"What's wrong with Lin Ruoxue? Why did she suddenly kick Ye Chen?"

A girl who was close to Lin Ruoxue couldn't help but cover her shocked mouth: "Oh my god, is this really the gentle Lin Ruoxue? I've known her for over twenty years, and she's never acted like this!"

"Maybe it's just the contrast. With someone as impressive as Young Master Tang in front of her, it's no wonder she's furious at someone like Ye Chen, who doesn't even deserve to tie Tang Ao's shoes but still dared to offend him. If I were Lin Ruoxue, I'd be even angrier."

Zhou Qiao'er watched Lin Ruoxue coldly. To her, all of Lin Ruoxue's actions were just a show, like crocodile tears meant to deceive.

In Zhou Qiao'er's eyes, it was more like a mutual beating, as she had already learned from Tang Ao's inner thoughts that Lin Ruoxue and Ye Chen were actually a pair!

Just as Lin Ruoxue opened the door, two men in police uniforms were about to knock.

Seeing the police, Lin Ruoxue instantly deflated. The restaurant manager, seeing the weakened Ye Chen, immediately became furious, pointing a trembling finger at Ye Chen and shouting at the younger-looking police officer:

"Officer, it's this thug! He forced his way into our restaurant and even injured seven of our security guards!"

The term "officer" coming from the manager's mouth made the two police officers' faces freeze, a bitter smile on their faces. After scanning the room and confirming that no serious conflict had occurred, they sighed in relief. Following the manager's pointing, they saw Ye Chen, gritting his teeth and holding onto the wall to keep from collapsing:

"You again? Last night at 'Shangshan Ruoshui,' you were causing trouble, and because it was your first offense, we let you off. And now today, you forced your way into a restaurant and assaulted their security. You've crossed the line. You're coming with us!"

"Oh my God, Lin Ruoxue's bodyguard plays in the big leagues! You can't even get into 'Shangshan Ruoshui' without spending a few thousand bucks!"

"I wonder what Lin Ruoxue is thinking right now. Thank goodness Young Master Tang is here today, or else... I think Ye Chen took this job as Lin Ruoxue's bodyguard because he has ulterior motives!"

"That's terrifying. Now I totally understand why Lin Ruoxue was so angry and beat him up. If it were me, I'd hit him even harder!"

Upon hearing that Ye Chen had gone to 'Shangshan Ruoshui' to "cause trouble," Lin Ruoxue's gaze at Ye Chen became even more filled with disgust.

"I wasn't causing trouble. I explained it yesterday. I was being a hero, saving a damsel in distress!"

Seeing Ye Chen's aggrieved and angry face, the police officer's expression turned cold: "Yeah, right. Everyone in Longquan City knows what 'Shangshan Ruoshui' is. And you're claiming you went there to play hero?"

This officer had been involved in Ye Chen's case the night before. Despite the clear evidence against him, for some unknown reason, Ye Chen had been released without any communication with the outside world, infuriating Li Shiyun, who had taken off her hat and cursed loudly over the phone.

As a police officer with a strong sense of justice, he was naturally filled with rage toward Ye Chen, who had escaped justice.

"Believe what you want, but I know I was there to save someone!"

Hearing Ye Chen's defense, the two police officers couldn't help but laugh: "What, so you're saying that today, when you forced your way into this restaurant and beat up the security guards, it was also to save someone?"

"I forced my way in because this is my restaurant. Those security guards are my employees, and instead of cooperating with me, they tried to attack their boss. What's wrong with a boss disciplining his subordinates?"

"I've seen a lot in my time, but you, sir, you take the cake. Your tongue must be made of rubber with all the lies you're spinning. You're something else, really."

The manager burst out laughing and shouted back into the room: "I'm the manager of this restaurant. Do you think someone as meticulous as I am could mistake my boss? Who has yellow urine? Come wake him up; this guy is living in a dream!"

The room erupted in laughter. Amidst the humiliation, frustration, and pain, Ye Chen shot a venomous glance at Tang Ao: "Tang Ao! Don't say I didn't warn you, you're gravely ill. If you don't get treatment, you'll be dead in two months. If you want to live, I'm the only one who can save you!"

With those words, Ye Chen was escorted out of the restaurant by the two police officers.

Ye Chen's warning made Tang Ao laugh out loud, silently mocking him in his heart—

[Is Ye Chen trying to fool an idiot? This poison has no cure, and knowing Ye Chen's habit of showing off, he probably said this to try and get back at me.]

[But... this poison doesn't work on me at all. Should I consider giving him a chance to take his revenge, maybe pretending to be poisoned after some time?]

[Hmm... that could work. Although this wasn't in the original plot, the atmosphere is already here, and as a proper villain, I should play along.]

Thinking this, Tang Ao burst into a wicked laugh:

"Gravely ill? You're fooling no one! If what you say is true, I'll change my name to Ye!"

Thanks to Tang Ao, the manager upgraded the group's reunion to the most luxurious private room in the restaurant. With everyone fawning over him, praising him as a "young and successful gentleman," Tang Ao began to feel a bit lost in the attention.

Finally, after everyone had their fill of food and drink, Tang Ao was helped out of 'A Box of Ducks' by both Lin Ruoxue and Zhou Qiao'er.

"Tang Ao, don't drink and drive. I'll take you home!"

Almost simultaneously, Lin Ruoxue and Zhou Qiao'er said this to Tang Ao, and when they realized they had spoken the same words, the two women glared at each other.

The atmosphere instantly grew tense, and Tang Ao could almost smell the gunpowder in the air~

These two women, who had been going back and forth at the dinner table like old friends catching up after years apart…

Turns out, women really are born actresses!

Tang Ao's drunkenness suddenly began to fade!
