Reborn back to the day I descended the mountain, Miss Ji, I will take responsibility for you!

Ye Chen saw all of this, and a murderous intent began to emanate from his eyes.

Ye Chen saw that the waiter had secretly poured something into the wine from behind.

Ye Chen knew what it was without even having to guess, and he strode into the banquet hall.

Ji Ruoyu looked at the bottle of wine, her eyes full of hesitation.

Wang Baji sneered, "It seems that Miss Ji's sincerity isn't all that great."

"I gave you the opportunity, but you didn't cherish it."

He waved his hand, and the waiter was about to take the wine away.

Ji Ruoyu grabbed the bottle, her eyes filled with determination, and said, "I'll drink it!"

He had to keep this partnership, even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance.

This was for her father, and also for himself.

After making up her mind, Ji Ruoyu unscrewed the bottle cap, closed her eyes, and prepared to pour it into her mouth.

Suddenly, a familiar sense of security enveloped her.

Ji Ruoyu suddenly felt her hand go empty; the wine bottle was gone. Then, screams came from all around her.

Ji Ruoyu opened his eyes, and the scene before him stunned him.

A man was seen pouring a bottle of Rémy Martin XO over Wang Baji's head.

And this person was none other than Ye Chen, who had barged into the venue.

The people around were stunned by this scene, and the two waiters saw Ye Chen's actions.

Instead of rushing to stop them, they relayed the message via walkie-talkie.

Du Haijun, who was just about to sit down and have something to eat, was completely stunned when he heard the news.

The information was quickly relayed to him, and Du Haijun slapped his forehead.

He was so preoccupied with Ye Chen that he forgot Ji Ruoyu had also arrived at Bajing Tower.

However, after a moment's thought, Du Haijun calmed down and simply gave a couple of instructions.

Then he relaxed and began to enjoy the delicious food on the table. This was the Eight Views Pavilion; how could anyone bully the young master here?

However, he naturally wouldn't ruin the young master's good fortune by seizing such a golden opportunity to be a hero.

They simply arranged for people to be on standby at all times to help the young master put on airs.

Inside the banquet hall, Wang Baji angrily shouted, "Who the hell do you think you are! Are you looking for death?!"

Ye Chen finished pouring a bottle of wine and said calmly, "What, you can't even recognize my voice anymore?"

Upon hearing that voice, Wang Baji gritted his teeth and said, "You are that Ye Chen."

"Yes, it's your grandpa, me. I'm talking to you, a grown man."

"Is it meaningful to coerce a woman here, resorting to such despicable means?"

As he spoke, Ye Chen shook the empty wine bottle in his hand.

Wang Baji's expression changed, and he said, "What do you mean!"

Ye Chen said calmly, "You know what I mean. If I take this bottle for testing, do you think you can get away with it?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Baji's expression changed again, and he reached out to grab the wine bottle.

Upon seeing this, the expressions of those around them immediately turned strange.

Ji Ruoyu also realized what was happening and looked at Wang Baji with disgust.

Feeling the disgust in Ji Ruoyu's eyes, Wang Baji was enraged and roared, "Ji Ruoyu, you bitch! I've treated you with all my heart, but you ignore me and even humiliated me last night!"

"I gave you the opportunity, but you didn't cherish it. I'm telling you right now, if you still want to cooperate with Wangcheng Pharmaceutical, stay here with me tonight, otherwise you can just wait to go bankrupt!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Ruoyu's face turned deathly pale; he knew he was doomed.

"Snapped!"

The crisp sound of a slap echoed throughout the banquet hall, and everyone stared in astonishment at the scene.

Ye Chen shook his hand and complained, "His skin is really thick; it hurts to hit him."

Wang Baji was stunned by the blow; his ears were ringing, and he felt a burning pain on his face.

Realizing what had happened, Wang Baji roared, "You bastard, how dare you hit me!"

"Snapped!"

Another slap.

Ye Chen said impatiently, "So what if I hit you? I've been putting up with you for a long time."

"How dare you covet my woman? You even dared to insult my wife! I'll give you a good beating!"

With that, he kicked out, sending Wang Baji flying and crashing into the dining table behind him.

Suddenly, a bunch of things splashed all over Wang Baji.

"Ah! I'll kill you!" Wang Baji was furious; he had never been treated like this before.

Ye Chen was too lazy to pay attention to Wang Baji. He turned to Ji Ruoyu, whose face was pale, and said, "Let's go, wife, let's go home."

Ji Ruoyu knew that things were beyond repair now, and he also loathed Wang Baji. He nodded and was about to leave with Ye Chen.

Just then, Wang Baji roared, "Today, neither of you will leave here alive!"

As they were speaking, seven or eight burly men rushed in from the doorway and surrounded Ye Chen and Ji Ruoyu.

With the help of a waiter, Wang Baji stood up, his face contorted with rage.

He was covered in various food broths and looked quite disheveled.

"Kid, you wrecked my place and made a mess of things. You think you can just leave without asking me?"

Ye Chen sensed that Ji Ruoyu was trembling slightly with fear.

Ye Chen then put his arm around Ji Ruoyu's waist and said gently, "Don't be afraid, close your eyes and count to ten, nothing will happen."

Ye Chen's breath sent a tingling sensation through her ears, and the fear in her heart was banished at that moment.

Ji Ruoyu closed her eyes as if possessed and silently counted in her mind.

The moment Ye Chen closed his eyes, he moved, his hand striking Ji Ruoyu's waist.

But his foot had already landed on the chest of a bodyguard directly in front of him.

The burly bodyguard was kicked and sent flying backward.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Chen continued his movements, his punches flying like dragons, each punch sounding as if thunder had exploded.

Immediately afterward, a bodyguard screamed and flew backward.

Seven or eight bodyguards were dealt with by Ye Chen in just a few breaths, each with a punch and a kick.

One by one, they crashed to the ground, howling in pain, their eyes filled with terror as they stared at Ye Chen.

After dealing with the bodyguards, Ye Chen shook his left hand and put it back in his pocket.

Throughout the entire process, Ye Chen's right hand never left Ji Ruoyu's waist.

Ye Chen's ruthlessness and decisiveness shocked everyone around him so much that their jaws nearly dropped to the ground.

Wang Baji's face was filled with disbelief. His finger trembled as he pointed at Ye Chen, but he couldn't utter a single word.

His bodyguards are handpicked; each one was hired at great expense by his family.

He was almost as good as ten men, but he couldn't even last a single move against Ye Chen.

Just then, a middle-aged man with a stern face, a slightly muscular build, and wearing combat uniform appeared behind Wang Baji.

"Young Master Wang, this person is not simple. For your safety, please leave first."

This person's name is Xi Tao, a mid-stage martial arts master whom Wang Baji's father hired at great expense.

Ye Chen also noticed Xi Tao at this moment, and raised an eyebrow.

Xi Tao's appearance immediately brought Wang Baji back to his senses. He said, "You take him down for me. If you do, I'll give you five million!"

Upon hearing this, a fierce glint flashed in Xi Tao's eyes. Although he couldn't discern Ye Chen's specific cultivation level from his attack, he was still impressed.

However, Ye Chen doesn't look very old, and his cultivation level is probably only at the peak of martial arts.

He could bully ordinary bodyguards, but Xi Tao was confident that they would never be a match for him.

Thinking of this, Xi Tao stepped forward and said, "Young man, don't think that just because you've learned some martial arts, you can act arrogantly and domineeringly. You should know that there are always people more capable than you and there is always something beyond your understanding."

"If you surrender yourself, you'll suffer less; otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Ye Chen sneered, "I know there are always people more powerful than you, but you're not qualified. As for you, you're skilled in martial arts, and instead of promoting good and punishing evil, you're here aiding and abetting the wicked. It seems I can't let you live today."

Xi Tao's face turned cold as he roared, "Arrogant!"

As he spoke, Xi Tao flashed in front of Ye Chen and threw a punch straight at Ye Chen's chest.

"Snapped!"

The familiar sound of a slap rang out, and Xi Tao's entire body was sent flying by Ye Chen's slap.

With a loud "bang!", he slammed into a stone pillar and coughed up a mouthful of blood, which flowed from his eyes, ears, nose and mouth.

Wang Baji's eyes widened in disbelief. Xi Tao was a martial arts master; how could he be defeated with a single slap?

At this moment, Ji Ruoyu finished counting to ten, opened her eyes, and saw the mess on the ground. Her eyes were full of astonishment.

Ye Chen then turned to look at Wang Baji, a cold smile on his face.

Upon seeing this, Wang Baji was startled and exclaimed, "What, what are you going to do!"

Ye Chen sneered, "I'm not doing anything, I just think I should teach you a lesson so you won't keep eyeing my woman."

As he spoke, Ye Chen took two steps forward and picked up a fork from the ground.

"Ah!" Wang Baji's shrill scream rang out.

People around gasped in surprise as Ye Chen used a fork to pierce Wang Baji's left hand, pinning it to the dining table.

Ye Chen wasn't about to stop, so he picked up another fork and looked at Wang Baji's right hand.

Just then, a dozen people, led by an old man, entered the banquet hall.
