1 Chapter 1 _1

"Ye Ming, I have to work overtime at the company, so I'll just sleep there tonight. Don't wait up for me."

As Ye Ming read the message from his girlfriend, his expression darkened—he was dressed in the yellow vest of a food delivery guy.

"Today is my birthday..."

He didn't finish typing the message before he sighed, erased it, and rewrote, "Okay, just don't tire yourself out."

Ding!

The elevator doors opened.

Putting away his phone and gathering his composure, Ye Ming walked along the lavish hotel corridor with the food delivery in hand.

Stopping in front of Room 506, Ye Ming rang the doorbell.

A young man wearing a bathrobe answered the door.

Ye Ming asked politely, "Are you Mr. Wang?"

Wang Hai gave Ye Ming a glance, reached out impatiently, and said, "Cut the crap, just give it to me!"

Before Ye Ming could fully hand over the items, Wang Hai snatched them away in haste.

Suddenly, a flirtatiously sultry female voice rang out.

"Hey, why aren't you coming in? I've been waiting anxiously."

The familiar voice stunned Ye Ming.

How could it sound so much like...

Following the voice, Ye Ming's eyes lifted to see a woman clad in sexy lace lingerie and exquisite makeup emerging.

Seeing the woman, Ye Ming's mind exploded!

Wang Hai laughed "ha ha" and turned toward the woman, squeezing her voluptuous bottom as he walked over.

With a lecherous smile, he said, "You little temptress, don't be so anxious. I bought two boxes; you're definitely going to have enough fun today!"

He flaunted what he grabbed from Ye Ming's hands.

Inside, there were condoms and birth control pills.

"Xuu... Xuu Ling!" A quivering voice came, laced with shock and suppressed rage.

Ye Ming glared at the woman in the room, his face crumbling in despair.

Because this woman was the very girlfriend who had just messaged him about working overtime at the office.

"Is this what you call working overtime?"

Reason drowned in fury, Ye Ming strode into the room, his gaze ferocious as though he could devour someone.

Upon seeing Ye Ming,

Xuu Ling also froze momentarily, panic flickering in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure and said coldly, "Ye Ming, since you've seen it, I won't pretend anymore. Let's break up."

Wang Hai stepped forward to block Ye Ming, his expression odd as he taunted, "Oh, so you're the loser boyfriend Xuu Ling always talks about? A smelly food delivery guy. Apart from looking alright, you do seem quite useless!"

"Get lost!" Enraged, Ye Ming threw a punch at Wang Hai.

Bang!

With a slight lift of his hand, Wang Hai parried Ye Ming's punch and immediately kicked him in the abdomen.

"Ah!"

Ye Ming felt as if his stomach had been shattered by the kick. He collapsed onto the ground, curling up and writhing in pain.

Wang Hai sneered disdainfully at Ye Ming, "I'm the city's fighting champion! You think you can take me on?"

At this moment, Xuu Ling stepped closer, pressing herself against Wang Hai, her eyes filled with admiration as she said, "Young Master Wang, you're so amazing!"

Wang Hai laughed "ha ha" and began to let his hands wander over Xuu Ling's body, "Are you referring to how amazing I am in which aspect?"

Xuu Ling immediately gasped with feigned breathlessness.

She looked down at Ye Ming lying on the ground, her disdain unhidden, "Ye Ming, do you see? This is the kind of man who deserves me, Xuu Ling. Young Master Wang is the heir of Qianyang Corporation, worth over a billion. What do you have to compare with him?"

"People always aim for higher places, so don't hold a grudge. If anyone's to blame, blame your own worthlessness!"

Ye Ming struggled to raise his head, his eyes bloodshot with rage as he gritted his teeth, "You adulterous couple, you'll get what's coming to you!"

He had planned to propose today, on his birthday.

Yet he had never imagined that life would play such a cruel joke on him!

Facing Ye Ming's swearing, Wang Hai snorted with scorn: "Just impotent fury! Kid, I can tell you that I've been good with Xuu Ling for quite a while now. Oh, right, you haven't slept with her, have you?"

"I've slept with her many times, and I can tell you, it's very smooth, very pleasurable!"

Xuu Ling let out an "aiya" and playfully slapped Wang Hai on the chest, saying coyly, "Young Master Wang, you're so annoying!"

"I'll kill you!"

Ye Ming suddenly leaped up, roaring as he tackled Wang Hai to the ground, then proceeded to pummel his face with a flurry of punches.

Wang Hai couldn't break free for a moment.

Taken aback, Xuu Ling grabbed the bedside lamp from the room and smashed it onto Ye Ming's head, her face twisted in savagery.

"You piece of trash! How dare you lay hands on Young Master Wang? I'll kill you!"

Bang!

Ye Ming was knocked to the ground by the bedside lamp.

Wang Hai seized the opportunity to stand up, delivering a kick directly to Ye Ming's head. Ye Ming only felt darkness before his eyes, and then, like a violent storm, a barrage of punches and kicks landed on his body.

A few minutes later.

Wang Hai looked at the nearly breathless Ye Ming and spat with disdain: "Damn it! You dare to fight back against me? Now you should know how formidable I am!"

Ye Ming no longer had the strength to respond.

But his heart was filled with hatred.

Hatred for Wang Hai, for Xuu Ling, and also for his own helplessness!

For the first time, he desired power so intensely. He wanted to stand up and smash the faces of this adulterous couple, but he... couldn't.

Xuu Ling watched Ye Ming with cold eyes, then removed a jade pendant from her neck and casually tossed it onto Ye Ming.

"Ye Ming, this is all your own doing!"

"I'm returning your family heirloom, the Jade Pendant, to you. From now on, we have no relationship at all. I hope you're aware of your own worth. With your pathetic self, you're nowhere near worthy of me!"

Having said that.

Ye Ming was then carried away by the security guards called by Wang Hai.

Bang!

Outside the five-star hotel, Ye Ming was discarded by the guards on the cold street.

His consciousness was beginning to dissipate.

Clenching the ancestral Jade Pendant in his hand, the grief and humiliation in his heart caused a lump in Ye Ming's throat. Curling up, he finally spat out a mouthful of blood, staining his chest red, and then completely passed out.

Unseen by anyone, the jade pendant stained with Ye Ming's blood emitted a faint glow, eventually transforming into a stream of azure light that shot into Ye Ming's mind.

At that moment, a black Mercedes pulled up to the curb.

A woman dressed in a white dress, with delicate features and a cool demeanor, stepped out of the car.

Several black-clad bodyguards followed closely behind her.

Looking at Ye Ming lying on the ground, the woman frowned: "Is this him?"

A bodyguard stepped forward to examine and then nodded in response, "Miss, it should be him."

The woman sighed, "Put him in the car."

...

Ye Ming had a dream.

In the dream, he saw his late grandfather, to whom he recounted all his grievances. His grandfather told him with a smile that from today on, no one would be able to bully him anymore.

He would become the master of the world and do whatever he wanted.

Then the grandfather turned into a ball of light that enveloped him, and a multitude of knowledge poured into his mind.

Ye Ming felt as if he really had become an omnipotent being.

And then...

The dream ended!

"You're finally awake."

A cool female voice sounded in Ye Ming's ears.

Ye Ming looked up to see a stunning woman frowning at him, her eyes seemingly filled with disdain.
