Chapter 225: Chapter 225

Gao De knew his son was a troublemaker, but seeing the scrutinizing eyes all around, he wished he could find a hole to crawl into, especially since he realized that protecting his son wouldn’t be easy, so he stood out and said these words.

Ye Ling loathed interacting with hypocritical people . The son being spoiled like that indicated that the adults in the family weren’t great either. She simply pretended to be scared and leaned behind Shen Bin. Shen Bin coldly nodded at Gao De without saying more and looked towards the officers handling the case.

The officers originally intended to release everyone, so they took the opportunity to bring them all out. Ye Ling watched a string of people walk in, led by Liu Zhiyuan, followed by Sun Mingjie, Dong Haoyu, and then Zhang Linong, Zhao Guodong, and Wang Ping. These people really gathered together.

Liu Zhiyuan walked at the front, not taking his eyes off Ye Ling as he entered. Seeing Ye Ling with disheveled hair and a coat draped over her, both bruised and staring at him, he became somewhat shy and turned his head away.

The six were crowded together, lacking their usual confrontational attitude. Especially Zhao Guodong, who was subdued, looked at Ye Ling and then lowered his head, completely different from his usual self.

"Let’s go." Shen Bin swept his gaze over the group and took the lead in walking out.

Ye Ling followed behind, and as they reached the door, she noticed the six still standing, and softly said, "Let’s go."

Only then did the six lift their heads together, glanced at Ye Ling, and then quietly followed her out of the police station. Shen Bin, who had come out earlier, was leaning against the car smoking. Seeing them, he remarked, "Well, all the training hasn’t gone to waste; now it comes in handy. But look where you’re using it? Just fooling around every day, you’re all college-bound, yet still act like kids. Didn’t each of you always think you could stand up to me? Why can’t you now? Realize that fists don’t solve problems, right? Now that you know, behave from now on, don’t make me call you naive."

Ye Ling slightly curled her lips. See, she knew Shen Bin had a sharp tongue. Either he says nothing, or he says something to anger everyone, just look at the faces of these six behind her turning red with anger.

At this moment, Ye Ling decided to draw a line with Shen Bin, lifting her chin, "I’ll go with them, Uncle Shen, go handle your own affairs."

Unfortunately, Ye Ling’s aura never worked on Shen Bin, who threw his cigarette to the ground, "Get in the car, don’t make me drag you in."

Ye Ling glared at him fiercely, just glaring without speaking. She didn’t believe that in front of Liu Zhiyuan and the others, if she refused to get in the car, Shen Bin would dare to force her.

Clearly, Ye Ling underestimated Shen Bin’s determination. Seeing Ye Ling unmoving, Shen Bin began striding towards her. Ye Ling was startled; would he really force her? However, remembering she wore his coat, she relaxed, realizing she was scaring herself. Indeed, he just came for the coat.

As he approached, Ye Ling removed his coat and handed it over, "Thank you, Uncle Shen..."

Before finishing, Shen Bin grasped the collar behind her neck and pulled her forward. The garment was practically torn, and struggling might rip it apart, making her wear just a vest. At this time, even showing a bit of skin was frowned upon, especially sleeveless tops. Afraid the clothing would tear, Ye Ling dared not struggle, naturally being led by Shen Bin.

But she couldn’t help protesting, "Shen Bin, let me go."

By then, they were already beside the car.

Shen Bin said softly, "Where do you plan on going ? If I don’t take you, how will you get back to the compound? If you don’t want to see me, do as I say. After I ensure you’re settled, I need to return to the company."

"I’m not going back to the compound." Though Shen Bin released her, Ye Ling stood her ground, refusing to move.

Liu Zhiyuan and the others just stood there watching, reluctant to intervene. When Zhao Guodong moved a step, Shen Bin’s glance silenced him instantly. None of the others dared provoke this reputedly stern figure.

"Get in the car, or I’ll throw you in." Circling to the passenger side, Shen Bin opened the door and got in, starting the vehicle.

Ye Ling was unwilling, wanting to resist Shen Bin’s authority. He used to be so sensible; why did he seem like a different person today? Ye Ling momentarily couldn’t cope with this version of Shen Bin, especially when entangled with him.

"I don’t need you to care about me. Who do you think you are? What does your liking for Ye Qian have to do with me? Whatever ties you have with Bai Hehua is your business; just because you’re entangled with them, don’t consider yourself part of my family." Ye Ling vented her frustrations, "The compound isn’t my home, I have no home, so why return? To get humiliated there? I’d have to be out of my mind."

Liu Zhiyuan and the others stared wide-eyed, amazed at Ye Ling daring to talk back to Shen Bin, admiring her courage yet shocked by her words. Since when did Shen Bin like Ye Qian? Just moments ago, Ye Ling called Shen Bin "Uncle" but now accuses him of liking Ye Qian.

The six were both amazed and confused.

Ye Ling watched as Shen Bin got out of the car, approached her directly, meeting her gaze head-on, her expression full of defiance. Shen Bin remained cold, "Look at yourself now, just a whining child. Get in the car."

"I’m not getting in."

Without another word, Shen Bin reached out, as Ye Ling instinctively closed her eyes tightly and pushed hard, but felt a grip around her waist lifting her up and being tucked into the car. With a sound, the door was shut. When Ye Ling opened her eyes and tried to pull the door handle, it wouldn’t budge, leaving her pounding on the window in frustration.

Shen Bin acted as if not seeing her, turned to Liu Zhiyuan and the rest, "I’m taking her back to the company. You guys head back to the compound. Except for filling out school preferences, don’t leave the compound or walk alone." This text is hosted at NovelHub(.)net

Zhao Guodong wanted to say something, but seeing Ye Ling’s bruised face through the window, he lowered his head again.

Shen Bin, having given instructions, started the car and sped off, causing Ye Ling’s head to bump against the front, finally quieting down after long complaints.

Once settled, Ye Ling resumed shouting, "Shen Bin, who gave you the right to treat me ? Who do you think you are?"

"Shen Bin." He responded with just those two words.

Ye Ling froze, "What do you mean?"

"Didn’t you ask who I am? You just called my name so smoothly, yet don’t know who I am?" Shen Bin retorted coldly, infuriating Ye Ling so much her face darkened. (To be continued.
