"What's up?"

Ye Chen didn't mind listening to what Xu Jiuding had to say.

"Your girlfriend seems to still be at your villa."

Xu Jiuding sneered.

In fact, after joining forces with Xiang Zhongye yesterday, Xu Jiuding felt something was a little off. Although he didn't think much of it, he still kept a backup plan, which was his cautious way of doing things, just to be on the safe side.

So this morning, he secretly hired more than a dozen bodyguards and had them sneak into the villa area where Ye Chen was located, to await his orders.

Xu Jiuding overheard Zheng Changping say that Ye Chen didn't bring his girlfriend with him. Just in case, Xu Jiuding immediately sent a message to his men, instructing them to take action and capture Ye Chen's woman, Su Ningshuang.

I never imagined that my own caution would save me.

Xu Jiuding glanced down at the time and calmly said:

"If nothing unexpected happens, your girlfriend has already been captured by my men."

With a hostage in hand, Xu Jiuding felt emboldened and unafraid that Ye Chen would dare to do anything to him.

"You said it yourself, barring any unforeseen circumstances, but what if something unexpected happens?"

Ye Chen shook his head helplessly. He thought Xu Jiuding was going to say something, or had some complicated backup plan, but it turned out to be just this...

For the safety of Su Ningshuang and her sister, Ye Chen did not bring them with him this time.

As for Xu Jiuding's underhanded tactics, Ye Chen had already anticipated them; Ning Shuang and the others' safety was of utmost importance.

Didn't you see that his bodyguard captain, Lin Beishuo, didn't come?

Ye Chen had already sent Lin Beishuo with a small team to quietly protect Su Ningshuang and the others around the villa.

As for Ye Chen himself, his skills are no weaker than Lin Beishuo's, so he doesn't need a bodyguard.

"You won't give up until you see the Yellow River. Since you don't believe me, I'll make you give up completely."

As he spoke, Xu Jiuding took out his phone.

The dozen or so bodyguards he sent to kidnap Ye Chen's girlfriend were the strongest and most skilled of all his bodyguards.

These men are all seasoned veterans who have been with me for many years. Each of them can take on several professional thugs, unlike ordinary bodyguards.

Xu Jiuding had complete confidence in them.

The call was answered shortly after.

"How did things go? Did you catch Ye Chen's girlfriend?"

Hearing the call connect, it meant there were no unexpected issues. Xu Jiuding gave Ye Chen a mocking look and immediately asked what was wrong.

"Not very good..."

A lazy voice came from the phone.

"No, you're not Lao Liu, who are you?!"

In an instant, Xu Jiuding sensed something was wrong; the voice on the phone wasn't that of his prized bodyguard, Lao Liu.

"I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Lin Beishuo, and I am the head of President Ye's bodyguard team."

Across from them came Lin Beishuo's lazy voice.

Mr. Ye's bodyguard captain?!

Xu Jiuding's expression immediately changed, and he became nervous. How did his prized bodyguard's phone end up in the hands of Ye Chen's bodyguard captain? Xu Jiuding felt something was wrong.

Where is my bodyguard?

Xu Jiuding questioned.

"Your bodyguards are too weak. My brothers didn't even have time to warm up before it was over."

Lin Beishuo replied with great dissatisfaction, saying that he hadn't had enough fighting yet, and the other side had already taken care of everyone.

Having received a definitive answer, Xu Jiuding's face turned ashen; his crucial backup plan was now useless.

"No, I still have the Nine Cauldrons Chamber of Commerce, and other forces!"

Xu Jiuding was unwilling to accept this.

Xiang Zhongye sided with Ye Chen, and Zheng Changping was filled with despair. This was because Zheng Changping's foundation was in Yuecheng, and in Yuecheng, the Xiang family's power was greater than Zheng Changping's.

But I am different; my roots are not in Yuecheng, but in Jinling!

The Xiang family's reach can't extend that far!

"Ye Chen, if you dare to lay a finger on me, believe me, I'll get the Nine Cauldrons Chamber of Commerce to take action, and we'll fight to the death."

Xu Jiuding threatened Ye Chen; at this moment, for his own safety, he couldn't care less about anyone else.

"Do you even deserve to fight to the death?"

Ye Chen sneered.

"Do you think that while I'm making my move in Yuecheng, I'll let your base in Jinling go? Dream on!"

Ye Chen was prepared to eliminate Xu Jiuding and Zheng Changping in one fell swoop, so how could he not have made preparations?

With the Xiang family's assistance, uprooting Zheng Changping's power in Yuecheng would be relatively easy. As for Jinling, Ye Chen had already made arrangements before summer vacation even started, and everything was now in place.

"What do you mean?"

Xu Jiuding still didn't understand.

"You asked him yourself, didn't you?"

Ye Chen was too lazy to explain.

Xu Jiuding immediately started frantically searching for contacts on his phone, but no one answered after he made three or four calls.

When he hit the fifth person, someone finally came to his rescue, and it was someone he knew, a member of the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce.

"I'm sorry, Chairman Xu, I'm withdrawing from the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce!"

However, when the call was connected, the acquaintance told him that it wasn't good news either; the other party had withdrawn from the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce.

After that, without Xu Jiuding making any calls, several phone calls came in one after another. They were all former members of the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce who had left the Chamber.

At the same time, Ye Chen also received a message.

"All your businesses, and your stronghold—your Xu Family Manor—are finished."

Ye Chen said something to Xu Jiuding.

His men just stormed into Xu Jiuding's lair and destroyed all of Xu Jiuding's foundation.

"No........"

Xu Jiuding's vision blurred, and he could barely stand.

Now, he's really finished.

Beside him, Xiang Zhongye was also shocked; Mr. Ye's methods were terrifying.

Fortunately, I sided with Mr. Ye; otherwise, the Xiang family would probably not have fared well either.

Being Mr. Ye's underling doesn't seem so bad.

"How are you going to deal with us?"

Zheng Changping asked nervously.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. I'll just send you to Africa to mine."

Ye Chen replied that with more free labor, his gold mine would produce more gold.

"What?"

Hearing this, Zheng Changping was filled with despair.

"Have your people handle the scene and take everyone away."

Ye Chen said to Xiang Zhongye, "Now we've truly wiped them all out in one fell swoop."

"Don't worry, Mr. Ye, there will absolutely be no problem."

Xiang Zhongye nodded; he understood, and he would use his connections.

He will handle today's matter well; there will be no investigation by law enforcement or other agencies.

“When Xu Jiuding went to Africa to mine, he was given special ‘treatment’.”

Ye Chen sent another message to his subordinates.

The remaining finishing touches were left to Xiang Zhongye. Ye Chen drove away, with Xiang Zhongye seeing him off.

Ye Chen had other important matters to attend to.
