Zhou Sheng wasn't stupid. He could tell that this skinny young man was clearly someone he couldn't afford to offend at all.
Even someone with a powerful background like Lei Ao-Ting was so terrified of Ye Fan.
Zhou Sheng was only an underling working for Lei Ao-Ting. Even if he was a really bold man, he wouldn't dare to provoke Ye Fan again.
And now when Ye Fan glanced over at him, none of Zhou Sheng's arrogance and authoritativeness could be found on his face. He fell to his knees with a loud thud and started begging Ye Fan for mercy.
But Ye Fan remained completely expressionless as Zhou Sheng begged him with fear in his voice. Ye Fan's distant gaze looked at Zhou Sheng as if he was looking down on an ant.
Ye Fan stood under the moonlight with his hands behind his back and looked down upon Zhou Sheng.
The eyes he used to gaze at Zhou Sheng were icy cold.
"Oh? So now you know how to beg for mercy? Where did all that arrogance and authoritativeness you had earlier go to?" scoffed Ye Fan. His expression suddenly grew icy as everyone else watched in horror.
He took a step forward and his authoritative voice was like the rolling thunder as it exploded and rumbled past.
"Then let me ask you. I've ruined your plan and I've cut off your riches. Are you alright with that?"
"Yes yes! Of course! I'm alright with that!" Zhou Sheng immediately replied as his face hit the ground again and his heart was filled with fear. He didn't dare to go against Ye Fan's words at all.
Ye Fan's gaze was chilling as he took yet another step and shouted loudly, "Then let me ask you one more question. I've destroyed your business and I've completely ruined your reputation. Do you
accept that?"
"Yes! I accept that, I really accept that," replied Zhou Sheng in a bitter and frightened voice. His face was pale as his head hit the ground again in a kowtow. There was already blood all over his face. When Ye Fan asked him again, Zhou Sheng already felt like there was no more courage left in him.
But Ye Fan didn't let him off at all. Every time he asked one question, he would take another step forward. His presence became more and more overwhelming with each step he took.
Then Ye Fan stood with his hands behind his back as his voice rang out once more.
His feet stepped on the ground and shook the earth.
He took another angry step forward and his voice was filled with nothing but iciness, while his presence overwhelmed Zhou Sheng like a cliff.
His domineering and majestic voice was like thunder as it shook the heavens and the earth again.
"I will ask you one last question. I've injured your subordinates and you no longer have any pride after kneeling down to beg for mercy. Do you accept that too?!"
"Yes, yes I accept it all. Master Ye, I, Zhou Sheng, accept all this that has happened without question."
Zhou Sheng had completely blanked out because Ye Fan's presence was too overwhelming.
Ye Fan had shouted at him three times in a row and was as threatening as a storm. Zhou Sheng felt like his soul was going to leave him soon!
He lay sprawling on the ground like a dog as his tears and mucus flowed everywhere. His forehead continued to knock again and again against the ground and his face was covered with blood.
There was none of that arrogance or complacency that Zhou Sheng had towards Ye Fan before this. He just looked like a dog that was scared out of its wits.
He didn't harbor anymore wicked thoughts in his mind. All he was left with was tremendous fear and a terror that knew no bounds.
This time, Ye Fan had truly frightened him. Ye Fan didn't ask him anymore questions, but Zhou Sheng continued to land his forehead against the ground and kept repeating how he accepted everything that happened to him.
Ye Fan must have scared several years off Zhou Sheng's life.
Everyone else watching was filled with fear too.
This huge space was completely silent.
All those aunties and uncles who called Ye Fan an idiot and a fool were speechless now.
Now they finally realized that the true big shot around here was the young man whom they had looked down upon earlier!
There was a wise saying that those who held real power and ability lived among the community.
Ye Fan was a living example of that sort of person.
It took a long time before this silent area was slowly filled with the sound of people gasping and taking in deep breaths.
"Move aside! Move aside!"
"Anyone not involved, please keep a distance!"
"Please do not obstruct our way!”
Suddenly, several police cars arrived and came through the crowd.
