Lei Aoting was the youngest of three in the Lei family. He had two elder sisters and was known throughout Jingzhou as 'Young Master Ting'.
But he was nothing in front of Mr Chu!
Even his father, Lei San, and the rest of his family were nothing in front of Ye Fan!
But now he had stupidly provoked Ye Fan again. Of course Lei Aoting was terrified.
He was already losing his mind as he hid in the car earlier.
Hadn't he heard Zhou Sheng ask him to come out?
Of course he did! Lei Aoting wasn't deaf, so he could hear Zhou Sheng and his men clearly!
But he didn't dare to get out of the car at all.
Lei Aoting was going to pee his pants soon. His entire mind went blank and he didn't know what to do.
He was so scared that he thought of calling his father for help. He was afraid that he would end up like Wu He-Rong and get beaten to death by Mr Chu.
Lei Aoting was also present at that fight in Mount Tai Hall.
The tragic way Wu He-Rong had died was still deeply etched in Lei Aoting's mind.
The last time in Jianghai, he had provoked Ye Fan because of Mo Wen-Xuan. So this was the second time he was offending Ye Fan. It wasn't hard to tell how terrified Lei Aoting was feeling now.
And that's why Lei Aoting didn't dare to get out of the car and tried to drive the Land Rover away immediately.
But heaven wasn't on his side. The car had barely made it a few meters out and it crashed into a tree.
Lei Aoting knew that he couldn't wriggle out of this one now, so he decided to face the music.
"Mr Chu, please spare me! I...I really didn't know it was you!"
Lei Aoting continued to kneel by the roadside and plead with Ye Fan under the streetlamps. Tears and mucus streamed down his face and he looked so pitiful.
The entire place was deathly quiet.
There were nearly 100 people here.
But even though many were present, nobody said anything.
The entire place was completely silent. One could even hear a pin drop.
Zhou Sheng was even more flabbergasted when he saw Lei Aoting fall to his knees.
He looked at Lei Aoting with disbelief and stood there like he had been struck by lightning.
He felt as though Ye Fan had slapped him hard across the face.
Zhou Sheng never imagined that his greatest backer and his most reliable pillar of support in Jingzhou would kneel without hesitation before Ye Fan.
In that moment, Zhou Sheng finally understood why Ye Fan was so fearless in the face of so many men surrounding him.
He knew why Ye Fan remained calm even though he was supposedly in great danger.
He understood why Ye Fan dared to speak so boastfully even though he was facing so many men all by himself.
So this was what he was relying on!
If Ye Fan could make even Young Master Ting kneel down and beg for mercy, then Ye Fan truly didn't need to fear anybody.
Zhou Sheng wasn't the only one stunned into silence. Lu Ming-Ze was equally stunned.
"This...what on earth is going? What is happening?! How...how could the prince of Jingzhou kneel before that country bumpkin? How could this be?!''
Lu Ming-Ze still found it difficult to accept what was happening before his very eyes.
He stared at this scene and continued to gasp in horror. When he saw Lei Aoting kneel and beg Ye Fan for mercy, huge waves started crashing within Lu Ming-Ze's heart.
He couldn't figure it out. How could the prince of Jingzhou, the biological son of Lei San, the eldest son of the Lei family in Jingzhou, the great Lei Aoting with a powerful background, kneel down before this unknown country bumpkin and beg for mercy?
