Chapter 56: Invitation from Song Wanting

Ye Chen ordered his men to drag all five of them up and said coldly, “Today, I’ll spare your lives, but if any of you dare to leak what happened today, I will take your lives. Do you understand?”

The five immediately nodded frantically.

At this moment, being alive was already an unexpected stroke of luck; they didn’t dare to defy Ye Chen’s wishes!

Seeing that these five were completely subdued, Ye Chen nodded in satisfaction and said to Liu Lili’s father, Liu Yuesheng, “You’ve betrayed my brother, so you must pay the price. Tomorrow, transfer the restaurant to my brother. You and your daughter need to get out of the restaurant. Do you understand?”

Liu Yuesheng nodded vigorously, “Understood! I’ll leave immediately tomorrow!”

Ye Chen then turned to Zhao Dong’s father, Zhao Haifeng, and said, “Your son put a green hat on my brother and severely injured him. You need to compensate my brother two million in damages tomorrow. Not a penny less, do you understand?”

Zhao Haifeng hurriedly replied, “Mr. Ye, I will transfer the money to your brother tomorrow!”

Only then was Ye Chen satisfied and told the subordinates of Master Hong, “Alright, throw these trash out!”

The group immediately dragged the five of them out.

After they were taken away, Ye Chen turned to A Biao and said, “A Biao, you did very well this time.”

A Biao’s face lit up with joy, and he quickly replied, “Mr. Ye, this is what I should do!”

Ye Chen said lightly, “I will have someone transfer two million to your account as a reward for you.”

A Biao was ecstatic and bowed deeply, “Thank you, Mr. Ye!”

Although he had made quite a bit of money following Master Hong, Hong Wu was not this generous to give two million in one go.

Ye Chen directly sent a text message to Chen Zekai, asking him to help transfer the money to A Biao. Although he had a lot of money in his card, it was inconvenient to operate at the moment.

A minute later, the money arrived in A Biao’s account.

A Biao was overjoyed and kept bowing to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen then said to Master Hong, “Hong Wu, you probably look down on this two million.”

Hong Wu quickly replied, “Mr. Ye, it’s my honor to relieve your worries.”

Ye Chen nodded and said, “I will remember this favor and will give you an opportunity to rise in the future.”

Upon hearing this, Hong Wu immediately knelt down and bowed his head to Ye Chen.

For Hong Wu, what he wanted was not money, but a chance to rise to a higher level.

However, for someone like him in the underworld, it was as difficult as climbing to the sky to achieve that.

Chen Zekai was someone he had always wanted to curry favor with, but Chen Zekai had always looked down on him because of his low and dirty background.

Now, with Ye Chen’s words, it was very likely that Chen Zekai would help him, and if that happened, his future could truly rise to a higher level!

After rewarding his subordinates, Ye Chen turned to Wang Daokun and asked, “Are you satisfied with what happened today?”

Wang Daokun was extremely shocked.

He truly couldn’t understand why Ye Chen had become so powerful.

Even the underground king of Jinling had to kneel before him!

He was stunned for a long time before coming back to his senses and hurriedly said, “Satisfied! Very satisfied!”

Ye Chen said, “I helped you get rid of your grievances, I also got the restaurant for you, and I secured two million in damages for you. From now on, you’ll have to walk your own path!”

Wang Daokun immediately said, “Ye Chen, I will definitely work hard for you in the future to repay your kindness! No matter what you ask me to do, I will not hesitate!”

Ye Chen nodded and said, “You should focus on recovering from your injuries. Once you’re better, manage the restaurant well. If there’s anything I need you to do, I will let you know.”

Wang Daokun repeatedly said, “I’m at your service anytime!”

Ye Chen added, “Oh, by the way, this matter today must not be mentioned to anyone. I don’t want others to know my identity. Do you understand?”

Wang Daokun hurriedly nodded, “I understand. Don’t worry, I won’t say a word even if I die!”

Ye Chen replied, “I will arrange for two caregivers to take care of you. Focus on your recovery; I’ll take my leave now.”

……

When Ye Chen returned home, he didn’t tell his wife, Xiao Churan, about today’s events.

He preferred not to let her know too much; the less she knew, the safer she would be.

The next day, while he was out buying groceries, he suddenly received a phone call. When he picked it up, he was surprised to find it was from Song Wenting, the daughter of the Song family and the owner of Jiqingtang.

Ye Chen couldn’t help but wonder what Song Wenting wanted with him.

Upon answering, Song Wenting’s voice came through, “Mr. Ye, I’m really sorry to disturb you. Please forgive me.”

Ye Chen instinctively asked, “Is there another problem with the jade vase I repaired?”

Song Wenting quickly replied, “No, that’s not it. I called you, Mr. Ye, for something else.”

Ye Chen said, “Go ahead.”

Song Wenting continued, “I recently found something I’m interested in, but I’m a bit unsure about it. Mr. Ye, you have profound knowledge of antiques, so I’d like to invite you to help me take a look, of course, with compensation. I’m not sure if you’re interested?”

Ye Chen actually had no particular interest in antique appraisal, but he was currently in need of some spiritually infused treasures, so he asked, “Can you tell me what it is?”

Song Wenting replied, “It’s an ancient jade. According to the seller, wearing it can bring peace of mind and ward off evil.”

Ye Chen’s mind suddenly turned.

In the randomly obtained “Nine Xuan Heavenly Scripture,” there seemed to be some records about spiritual objects.

Such spiritually infused treasures could provide excellent benefits to people, and he was very curious to know if such treasures truly existed in the world, so he agreed, “Alright, I can accompany you.”

Song Wenting said, “Thank you, Mr. Ye. I’ll pick you up tomorrow at eight.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up, Ye Chen pondered.

Wealthy individuals highly value antiques that can adjust feng shui, calm the mind, and ward off evil. He thought he should interact more with them in the future to see if any opportunities would arise.

The next morning.

Song Wenting arrived on time to pick up Ye Chen.

After Ye Chen got into the car, Song Wenting said, “Mr. Ye, there are a few other people from Jinling who are also interested in buying this piece of ancient jade, so the competition might be very fierce.”

Ye Chen nodded and said lightly, “It doesn’t matter how many people there are; what matters is the quality of the item. If it’s good, I’m not afraid of competition. I believe in Miss Song’s abilities. If you truly want to obtain a treasure, others shouldn’t be able to stop you.”

Song Wenting smiled slightly and said, “Mr. Ye, you flatter me. As the saying goes, there are mountains beyond mountains and people beyond people. Just in this small area of Jinling, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers; I don’t know how many people are stronger than me.”

Ye Chen pretended to be surprised and asked, “Really? Isn’t the Song family the largest family in Jinling?”

Song Wenting laughed and said, “That’s just on the surface. Not to mention, just take the new chairman of the Dihao Group as an example; one Dihao Group is worth our entire Song family. This person’s strength is truly unfathomable.”

As she spoke, Song Wenting sighed, “I actually want to befriend this big shot, but unfortunately, this person is too mysterious, and I can’t find any breakthrough.”
