Chapter 4055: Carrying Thorns to Plead for Forgiveness

, Urban Ancient Immortal Doctor

Gu Qingcheng frowned. "What do you mean by that?"

She took this matter very seriously. If Ye Bufan really had any potential trouble, she wouldn't mind resolving it before returning to the provincial capital.

Luo Feng said, "President Gu, you don't know yet. Last night at the bar, Ye Bufan offended the He Family's eldest Young Master, He Pengfei, and Master Ma Jiu's son, Ma Kun, beating them both until they were kneeling in the bar."

“You know the power of the He Family and Master Ma Jiu; I'm sure they'll be at the door soon.”

“If you were here, it wouldn't be a problem, but once you hand Longteng Pharmaceutical over to Ye Bufan, I'm afraid it will be destroyed by those two families immediately.”

“No matter what, Longteng Pharmaceutical is your life's work. Please don't watch it be ruined.”

Luo Feng spoke with great distress, thumping his chest and stamping his feet. His goal was to make Gu Qingcheng take back Longteng Pharmaceutical so he would have a chance to continue as General Manager.

But to his surprise, after he finished speaking, Gu Qingcheng and Ye Bufan both laughed in unison. To them, the He Family and Master Ma Jiu, who seemed so formidable in his eyes, were not a problem at all.

Just as Luo Feng was left bewildered, a sudden roar of engines was heard. Immediately after, two rows of motorcades drove up to the entrance of Longteng Pharmaceutical.

The row on the left consisted entirely of black sedans, led by a stretch Lincoln. The row on the right consisted entirely of SUVs, led by a military-green Hummer.

Once the two rows of cars parked, an old man stepped out of the Lincoln. It was the head of the He Family, He Changqing, followed closely by He Tianqi.

Jumping down from the Hummer was Master Ma Jiu, with Scarface and several others following beside him.

Seeing this display, the hearts of everyone in the Longteng Group sank. It seemed Luo Feng was right; the He Family and Master Ma Jiu had indeed come to settle the score.

Even Luo Feng was filled with doubt. He had only brought it up just now as a pretext to persuade Gu Qingcheng.

He never expected the He Family and Master Ma Jiu to actually show up. Could it be that he had guessed wrong last night, and He Pengfei and Ma Kun weren't just putting on an act with Ye Bufan?

Just as everyone was completely perplexed, He Changqing waved his hand toward a car behind him. "Bring that little beast over here!"

A rear door opened, and two bodyguards dragged a man out of the car. It was He Pengfei.

At this moment, He Pengfei was shirtless, tied up securely, with a wooden rod strapped to his back.

It was the same on Master Ma Jiu's side. Scarface and the others pulled Ma Kun out from a car behind them. He was in the same state as He Pengfei—shirtless and tied to a wooden rod.

The onlookers seemed to understand now.

This was clearly the posture of 'Carrying Thorns to Plead for Forgiveness.'

He Changqing brought He Pengfei before Ye Bufan and barked, "You little beast, kneel down before Mr. Ye!"

On the other side, Master Ma Jiu kicked Ma Kun in the back of the knees. "Kneel down and apologize to the Lord!"

It turned out that after He Pengfei and Ma Kun left the bar yesterday, they discussed it and ultimately didn't dare hide it from their families, reporting the events at the bar truthfully.

When He Changqing and Master Ma Jiu heard that these two rebellious sons had provoked Ye Bufan, they were nearly scared to death. After a severe scolding, they brought them here this morning to plead for forgiveness.

“Little brother Ye, it's due to my lack of discipline that this rebellious son offended you.”

“I've brought the little beast back today. Punish him as you wish, little brother. Even if you beat him to death, this old man will have no complaints.”

Master Ma Jiu spoke with an even more respectful expression, "Lord Ye, this boy offended you. He is at your disposal for punishment."

Luo Feng was completely dumbfounded. He had guessed the beginning but not the end. He Pengfei and Ma Kun indeed hadn't been acting with Ye Bufan, but this outcome was too shocking.

Whether it was Master Ma Jiu or the high-and-mighty He Family, neither dared to settle accounts with Ye Bufan. Instead, they came to his door to beg for forgiveness.

What exactly did this man named Ye do? How could he have such immense deterrent power?

Ye Bufan looked at He Changqing and Ma Nine, then at the kneeling He Pengfei and Ma Kun. He waved his hand and said, "Fine, let bygones be bygones. I already punished them last night."

“When you go back, discipline them strictly. Don't let them go around bullying people anymore.”

When Master Ma Jiu first heard his son had provoked Ye Bufan, he was terrified. The more contact he had, the more he realized how terrifying this young man was.

Seeing his magnanimity and lack of grudge, he hurriedly said with tears of gratitude, "Thank you, Lord Ye! Thank you, Lord Ye!"

“This old man thanks you as well.” After He Changqing finished, his eyes flickered, and he added, “This boy of mine is truly too unruly. I've tried to educate him many times to no effect.”

“How about this? I'd like to have this boy stay by Little Brother Ye's side. He can even clean toilets for you. Please, little brother, help me discipline him.”

Hearing He Changqing's words, Ma Nine's eyes immediately lit up. He thought to himself that the ginger is indeed spicier when it's old; Old Man He had a longer vision.

He had long seen that Ye Bufan was no ordinary person. If his son could stay by his side, even just getting the leftovers in the future would surely lead to great success.

He hurriedly followed suit and said, "That's right, Lord Ye."

“My boy is the same. See if you can find the time to help me discipline him as well. If he doesn't obey, I won't say a word even if you beat him to death.”

Ye Bufan thought for a moment. His business was expanding, and he didn't have many usable people under him. Keeping these two boys wouldn't be bad.

Though they were playboys, they could be disciplined. In the end, they would be more reliable than outsiders.

He looked at the two on the ground and said, "Very well, let them follow me for now!"

“Wonderful! Thank you, little brother!”

“Thank you, Lord Ye.”

He Changqing and Master Ma Jiu thanked him repeatedly.

He Changqing gave He Pengfei a hard kick on the backside. "From now on, you follow Little Brother Ye and serve him carefully. If he is even slightly dissatisfied, you can get out of the He Family."

Master Ma Jiu was even more fierce, shouting at Ma Kun, "You little brat, if you dare to make the Lord angry, tie a rock to yourself and sink into the river!"

He Pengfei's admiration for Ye Bufan had reached its peak. He said repeatedly, "We won't. We will definitely turn over a new leaf and serve Lord Ye carefully."

Ma Kun nodded his head incessantly in agreement.

He Changqing and Master Ma Jiu left joyfully after finishing their business. Being able to arrange for their descendants to be by Ye Bufan's side was an enormous stroke of good fortune.

After they left, Ma Kun said with a flattering look, "Lord Ye, what would you like me to do for you?"

“How about this? You'll be the security captain for now. The security department of Longteng Pharmaceutical will be handed over to you.”

Ye Bufan had just driven away Zhao Meng, so he let Ma Kun fill the vacancy.

Ma Kun immediately patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Lord Ye. From now on, whoever dares to cause trouble for Longteng Pharmaceutical, I'll cripple them immediately."

Nearby, Zhao Meng's face turned ashen upon hearing this. Originally, he had been unwilling after being fired and wanted to have his confidants in the security department cause some trouble.

But now that Ma Kun was the security captain, let alone his subordinates, even he himself wouldn't dare say a single word of dissent. Otherwise, Master Ma Jiu would surely have him sunk into the river.

By this point, Luo Feng had actually become much calmer than before.

He said, "Ye Bufan, I admit you are more powerful than I imagined, and you are the owner of the company, but I advise you not to fire me. This woman is even less capable of serving as the company manager."

“Longteng Pharmaceutical must be managed by me; otherwise, it won't be able to operate at all.”

Ye Bufan gave him a mocking look and said coldly, "You're overthinking it. Now get out!"
