Chapter 200 - 198: Saved 2 Times in a Row

Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, the Qilin Chief and his men turned green with rage. Yet, even so, there was nothing they could do to him.

"Ye Xuan, it’s still too early to tell who will have the last laugh. Let’s wait and see!"

Shooting Ye Xuan a furious and resentful glare, the Qilin Chief turned on his heel, led his men into their cars, and drove away.

It wasn’t until the people from the Qilin Hall had been gone for a long time that the elderly woman finally led her granddaughter out from their hiding spot.

"Cyan Dragon Chief! Have you really returned? Heaven truly blesses Huaxia! Our War God is back!"

The elderly woman dropped to her knees in front of Ye Xuan with a heavy THUD. Tears streamed down her wrinkled face as she cried and shouted at him. Her sudden outburst left the little girl beside her completely stunned and terrified.

Feeling both awkward and helpless, Ye Xuan helped the elderly woman up from the ground. He genuinely couldn’t bear to have someone of her advanced age kneeling before him.

"Ma’am, please don’t do this. Quickly, get up."

Under Ye Xuan’s repeated persuasion, the elderly woman finally managed to rein in her excitement a little. Though she was no longer kneeling, she refused to let go of his hands.

"Cyan Dragon Chief, I am from the Wang family. If you don’t mind, why don’t you come over to the Wang family home for a simple dinner tonight? Think of it as a token of my gratitude for saving my granddaughter’s life today."

Ye Xuan’s first instinct was to decline, but looking into the elderly woman’s expectant eyes, he simply couldn’t bring himself to say no. He could only bite the bullet and agree.

"I already called my son and daughter-in-law a moment ago. They’ll be here shortly, so please wait just a moment, Cyan Dragon Chief."

After speaking, Mrs. Wang pulled out her phone and called her son again, urging him to hurry over. She hadn’t been lying. Earlier, in an effort to help Ye Xuan, she really had called her family, asking them to use their connections to see if they could smooth things over. She just hadn’t expected that their intervention wouldn’t be needed at all. After all, he was the illustrious Cyan Dragon Chief; even the Qilin Hall had to tread carefully around him. Such a trivial matter was completely beneath his notice.

Soon, a black BMW drove over from a distance. When Ye Xuan saw the person stepping out of the car, he was visibly taken aback. It was Song Ling’er. He wondered why she was here.

"Mom! Nannan! Are you two alright? Are you hurt?"

The moment Song Ling’er and her husband got out of the car, they rushed straight toward Mrs. Wang and the little girl. After pulling them into a thorough inspection and confirming that they were unharmed, they finally breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did Song Ling’er notice Ye Xuan standing to the side.

"Benefactor! Why are you here?"

Upon seeing Ye Xuan, Song Ling’er was thoroughly astonished. Her eyes widened instantly as she gasped.

Looking at this family, Ye Xuan didn’t know whether to call it destiny or something else. In the span of just a few short days, he had actually saved members of the Wang family twice.

"Ling’er, do you know the Cyan Dragon Chief?" Seeing Song Ling’er’s reaction, Mrs. Wang immediately realized that the two must have met before and asked curiously.

"Mom, this is the great benefactor who saved Mengmeng! If it weren’t for his help that day, Mengmeng would have been gone by now." Song Ling’er grabbed Mrs. Wang’s hands, explaining with palpable excitement.

Hearing this, Mrs. Wang’s eyes lit up, and she tightly grasped Ye Xuan’s hands once again.

"Cyan Dragon Chief! You truly are our Wang family’s great benefactor! To think that both of my granddaughters were saved by you. I don’t even know how to thank you anymore! Your kindness is deeper than the ocean itself."

With his hands firmly trapped in Mrs. Wang’s grip, Ye Xuan found it impossible to pull away. He shot Song Ling’er a look of utter helplessness, silently pleading with his eyes for her to bail him out.

Noticing Ye Xuan’s discomfort, Song Ling’er offered a faint smile and linked her arm through Mrs. Wang’s. "Mom, don’t get too worked up, or you’ll scare our benefactor away."

Reminded by Song Ling’er, Mrs. Wang finally realized she had lost her composure and hurriedly let go of his hands.

Meanwhile, a bespectacled, gentle-looking man of average build had been quietly observing Ye Xuan from the sidelines. He was Mrs. Wang’s youngest son, Wang Siming. This was simply too coincidental. Both of his daughters had gotten into accidents, and both times, they had been saved by this supposed Cyan Dragon Chief. Wang Siming couldn’t help but suspect Ye Xuan’s true motives.

Looking at Ye Xuan with a guarded expression, Wang Siming spoke in a low, serious tone. "Mom, how do you know this man is the Cyan Dragon Chief? It’s true that rumors of the Cyan Dragon Chief coming out of retirement spread a few months ago, but so much time has passed without a single trace of activity. If you ask me, there’s an eighty percent chance this guy is a fake. You’d better not be fooled."

Upon hearing Wang Siming’s words, Mrs. Wang’s face immediately fell. She yanked his arm hard, demanding that he apologize to Ye Xuan. "You brat! What kind of nonsense are you spouting?! Even the Qilin Chief has to obey his orders; how could he possibly be a fake?! Hurry up and apologize to the Cyan Dragon Chief!"

Wang Siming was visibly taken aback, though a trace of suspicion still lingered in his eyes. Seeing his hesitation, Mrs. Wang grew even more anxious.

"You brat! Are you deaf?! Hurry up and apologize to the Cyan Dragon Chief!" She raised her arm and delivered a sharp smack to Wang Siming’s back.

Seeing her husband getting scolded by her mother-in-law, Song Ling’er made no move to intervene. Instead, she stood to the side, covering her mouth as she secretly giggled. Her husband was great in every way, except for his appallingly low emotional intelligence. He never thought before he acted.

Even if there really was something suspicious about the man in front of them, he shouldn’t have said it right to the old lady’s face. This man had just saved both his mother and Nannan. In the old lady’s eyes, he was of the utmost importance right now. Even if he wasn’t the real Cyan Dragon Chief, she would still reward him heavily. Stepping up to question the man’s identity now was essentially picking a fight with her. It would be weirder if she didn’t teach him a lesson.

Watching Wang Siming scurry around clutching his head under Mrs. Wang’s assault, Ye Xuan offered a mild word of advice. "Ma’am, he didn’t know any better, so let it go."

Hearing this, Mrs. Wang immediately lowered her hand, though she still shot Wang Siming a fierce glare.

"Cyan Dragon Chief, my son is clumsy with his words. Please don’t lower yourself to his level. Counting today’s incident, our Wang family now owes you two lives. Whatever it is the Cyan Dragon Chief requires, our Wang family will definitely fulfill it to the absolute best of our abilities."

Mrs. Wang was certainly clever enough, trying every possible method to tie the Wang family to Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan furrowed his brows slightly. How could he not know what the elderly woman was scheming? However, as long as the Wang family’s character wasn’t rotten, he didn’t mind cooperating with them. His only fear was that, once under his protection, the Wang family would end up just like Zheng Changgong—throwing their weight around and stirring up trouble by relying on his power.

After some thought, Ye Xuan decided to test the Wang family first before making any final decisions. "Mrs. Wang, it was merely a lifting of a finger. It’s just a small matter, so you don’t need to take it to heart."

"How could this be a small matter? If it weren’t for you, I would have lost my two precious granddaughters! So, Cyan Dragon Chief, please, ask for whatever you want. Our Wang family will never break a promise!"
