Top Grade Immortal Emperor in the Flower City

Ye Ling was covered in cold sweat as he shakily got out of the car, shivering at the sight of Ning Guoqiang brandishing a pistol.

"Father-in-law, are you trying to murder your own son-in-law!" Ye Ling almost rushed over to cling to Ning Guoqiang and yell at him, but he restrained himself, fearing that Ning Guoqiang's trembling hand might accidentally shoot him.

"You good-for-nothing! What grudge does your old man have against you for you to crush to death my favorite dog Wangcai? If I hadn't moved quickly, I might have ascended to heaven along with Wangcai by now!" Ning Guoqiang was filled with regret.

You think to yourself, why on earth did you provoke this scourge for no reason at all? Now, without even having stepped through the door, you've already knocked over the family dog. Once inside, who knows what other disasters might befall.

Ye Ling's mouth twitched nervously: "Uncle, I really didn't do it on purpose, it was Yu Shan who said to step on the gas and go."

Ning Yushan was taken aback, and instantly became furious: "You, Ye Ling! When did I tell you to run over my dog, Wangcai?"

"Do you have eyes in your butt? If it weren't for my dad escaping, maybe there would be nothing left of him but a box of ashes tomorrow. What are your intentions?!"

Hearing this, Ning Guoqiang's eyelids twitched uncontrollably as he pointed at Ning Yushan: "Oh, you are something else. Do you really wish for your old man to kick the bucket right now, to have found such a lunatic, trying to take me out or irritate me to death?"

Li Chunyu quickly held back the angry Ning Guoqiang, coaxing and persuading him to calm down his rage. Li Chunyu then hurriedly gestured to Ye Ling with her eyes.

Seeing this, Ye Ling quickly approached Ning Guoqiang: "Uncle, please don't be angry. I really didn't do it on purpose. Besides, if I really wanted to run you over, you wouldn't be able to escape anyway, which at least proves my innocence."

Ning Guoqiang clenched his teeth, so hard that they creaked together, his eyes turning red as if about to burst into flames.

"Good lad, come on, let's go inside for dinner!" Ning Guoqiang said through clenched teeth before turning to enter the house.

Ye Ling was bewildered as he looked at Ning Yushan: "Your dad let me off that easily? I have a bad feeling about this. Your family doesn't have any arsenic, do they? He's not planning to take us both out, is he?"

At a red Eight Immortals table, Ning Guoqiang held a pair of chopsticks, vigorously rubbing them together with a fierce grin directed at Ye Ling, the smile looking quite sinister.

Ye Ling gulped: "Uncle, please don't look at me like that, it's frightening."

"What's there to be scared of? If not for my years of experience as a bureau chief and the good self-control it fostered, you would already be dead. And for someone who has already 'died' once, what's there to be afraid of anyway?" Ning Guoqiang said with a grim smile.

Ye Ling shuddered all over and felt chilled. He suddenly realized that the Ning Family members were all hot-tempered and had peculiar personalities, making them difficult to get along with.

Even someone as virtuous as himself struggled to cohabit with them. Could such a family possibly have any friends?

Before long, Li Chunyu laid out all the dishes on the table: chicken, fish, wine, and an array of dishes making up a total of eight, four meat-based and four vegetarian, quite a feast. The wine wasn't bad either; it was Moutai Feitian.

"Uncle, you must have embezzled quite a bit, otherwise how could you afford a bottle of Moutai, haha." Ye Ling tried to breech the tense atmosphere with a joke.

Seeing Ning Guoqiang's face turn increasingly dark, Ye Ling tactfully closed his mouth. He suddenly realized that his own mouth was perhaps a bit too unrestrained.

"Don't scare him, that's a bottle my dad got from his old superior officer. He doesn't even break it out for holidays," Ning Yushan hastily explained.

"So tell me, how many people are in your family, what do they do, and do you own a house and car?" Ning Guoqiang asked coldly.

Ye Ling quickly replied, "There's just two of us in my family, my mom and me. A car and a house are no problem, I can confidently say that we can afford a house worth hundreds of millions. We're not short on money."

Li Chunyu's face sags down instantly. How can this kid spout such nonsense? If Ye Ling found out, he would definitely cry foul. Can't people speak the truth anymore?

Ning Guoqiang's gaze pierces fixedly onto Ye Ling. It must be said that his sight is indeed sharp; years of experience in handling cases have allowed him to see through many people.

The gaze is clear yet somewhat wicked, the smile on his face full of insincerity, and although he sits upright, his legs occasionally tremble beneath the table.

They say that a trembling man is poor and a trembling woman is cheap. From this detail, it can be seen that this guy probably isn't too fond of a proper education.

This kid is simply a hoodlum. Especially, having seen him twice at the apartment Ning Yushan rented and the annoying incident when they just met, all these things made Ning Guoqiang's impression of him quite bad.

"Come on, let's eat, Ye ah, do you drink alcohol?" Li Chunyu picked up a piece of meat for Ye Ling and asked with a smile.

Ye Ling quickly said thanks, then turned to ask Ning Yushan, "Can I drink or not?"

"Whether you can drink or not, don't you know yourself? Don't you have any idea?" Ning Yushan replied irritably, picking up a piece of meat and twisting it fiercely.

Ye Ling suddenly realized, "Oh, then I can't drink, Auntie."

"Cut the crap. How can a man not drink alcohol? Come on, drink with me. First, I'm telling you, throw away all your crooked tricks, just honestly drink with me. Otherwise, I swear I'll finish you off!" Ning Guoqiang finished speaking and slammed a gun onto the table.

Ye Ling froze, his eyes changing as he looked at Ning Guoqiang. Could it be that this uncle knows about his Spiritual Power to sober up?

Ning Guoqiang picked up a bottle of alcohol, opened it, and a strong scent of liquor wafted out. He poured a full 100 milliliters of liquor into a glass and handed it to Ye Ling.

"Come on, my boy, the guest does as the host bids. Come drink with your uncle," said Ning Guoqiang before gulping down a mouthful and setting down his glass.

Ye Ling smacked his lips. Why did he feel like Ning Guoqiang's words were an insult to him?

Forget it, just drink. Besides, Ye Ling had also sealed off his Spiritual Power, since after all, one must show respect when facing elders, right?

But as a human being, you need to learn to act. Just as Ye Ling was about to take a coy sip, Ning Guoqiang suddenly spoke up.

"Ye, tell your uncle the truth, did you sleep with my daughter or not?"

Sputter, Ye Ling sprayed out the liquor, and Ning Guoqiang's face was covered in it.

The entire dining table went deadly silent. Ye Ling's heart also skipped a beat. Wasn't he too audacious? Who in Donghai City would dare to spray Chief Ning's face with alcohol?

"It's fine, it's fine, just tell me, did you do it or not?" Ning Guoqiang held back his anger and said with a laugh, wiping his face all the while.

Ye Ling swallowed and looked at Ning Yushan, "Did we or did we not?"

"Don't you know for yourself whether or not we did?" Ning Yushan's face turned a bit red.

Ye Ling was somewhat stunned. Had they done it or not? This question was not something he dared to answer rashly, especially not when he saw Chief Ning's hand moving towards his gun.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Ning Guoqiang's hand quietly rested on the gun, his face full of smiles, "Did we or didn't we?"
