The efficiency of the Ghost Gate Pass was very fast. Ye Zi had only been home for a few days when Wang Baozhang delivered the land deed.

The process was quite simple: someone paid out of their own pocket, and the local forestry bureau stepped in to take back the pasture belonging to Ye Zi's neighbor.

Not only was compensation provided, but a subsidy will also be given annually for the next ten years.

This outcome was a win-win situation; Ye Zi received the reward, and Gui Men Guan fulfilled his promise.

The neighbor has money, so he can not only buy property in the city, but also have enough time to adapt to city life and find a way to settle down in the future.

The neighbors' livestock were even simpler to sell; they were sold directly to Ye Zi. Although Ye Qingshan and his wife were not home, Ye Zi knew the prices of the livestock.

After settling the livestock, Ye Zi simply dismantled the wire fence between the two households, thus concluding the grassland expansion project.

Wang Baozhang was conscripted and spent two days with Ye Zi as a herdsman on the grassland, a life he had never experienced before.

Ye Qingshan and his wife were equally happy when they heard the news, and returned home after spending a few days in Qingcheng.

The peaceful days lasted for nearly three months until Tongtong finally finished filming.

Ye Qingshan stayed at home, while Ye Zi and Siqin went to the capital.

This trip was solely to obtain our marriage certificate.

When Ye Zi and Tong Tong left the Civil Affairs Bureau, they were legally recognized as husband and wife.

The young couple had a meal with their two mothers and discussed wedding arrangements.

Things went smoothly from then on, once on the grasslands and once in the capital.

The wedding on the grassland was mainly attended by Yezi's friends and Siqin's friends and neighbors; it wasn't a large-scale event.

But everything was done according to Mongolian etiquette. Huang Jingyu, Wu Jing and others arrived, and Wang Baozhang and Li Erniu and a few others came on behalf of their colleagues from Guimenguan.

It's worth mentioning that Dilraba and Er Ya wore ethnic costumes on the day of the wedding, which was quite a sight to behold.

Back in Beijing, Tongtong's marriage made headlines online.

On the wedding day, the number of guests exceeded Tongtong's expectations. Big names like Lao Feng and a group of directors with high status in the industry came uninvited and brought generous gifts.

Some powerful and influential people also came to show their support.

Although the number of attendees exceeded expectations and they were all big names, the wedding went smoothly, thanks to the close call with death.

These powerful figures would not attend if it were someone else facing certain death, because they are all people who remain completely hidden in the shadows.

But Ye Zi is different. He is now the face of the underworld and the number one person in the underground world.

This is something that these powerful and influential people have no choice but to take seriously.

Moreover, Tongtong is a celebrity with considerable status, and a celebrity's wedding naturally generates a lot of buzz.

I was wondering why Tongtong would actually marry Ye Zi, a guy who's somewhat famous online for his survival skills, but then I saw how these big shots and powerful figures treated Ye Zi.

Those who didn't understand Tongtong have now come to their senses.

He may look like a reckless survivor who hasn't shown his face much, but he actually has a wide network of connections.

Ye Zi was a little stunned. He knew the scene would be big, but he didn't expect it to be this big.

After the wedding ceremony was over, the wedding turned into a cocktail party.

As a prominent figure in the industry, Lao Feng acted as the guide, but Ye Zi was mostly talking to young people.

Through conversations with these young people, Ye Zi's perspective on the circle of rich kids completely changed.

A family or a business only needs one heir. Once a qualified heir is selected, the other heirs are abandoned.

This abandonment doesn't mean ignoring their lives, but rather providing them with certain economic security and allowing them to develop freely.

This is why brothers from the same family can be either successful at a young age or arrogant and domineering spoiled brats.

One will become the next leader of the family and the company, while the other will only be able to live a carefree life with the security they have.

The young people who came to Yezi's wedding were almost all second-generation rich kids. Their extensive knowledge, proper manners, and unique insights were practically standard features.

In comparison, Ye Zi was far behind, because he knew nothing about many things, and had never even heard of them.

During this period, he was either killing people or on his way to kill people. He only had a lot of time to study in the past six months, but Ye Zi spent his time herding livestock and enjoying a leisurely life.

Therefore, the content of the chat is very limited.

But there's a saying that everything is trivial except for life and death, so Ye Zi's aura is not weak.

Moreover, when men chat together, if they can't find common topics in a short time, international affairs are the best subject.

Fortunately, today is Yezi and Tongtong's wedding, and everyone here just wants to get to know each other and doesn't intend to have any deep conversations.

Although the wedding turned into a cocktail party, the party didn't last long, and most people just made a brief appearance before leaving.

After seeing off the last batch of privileged second-generation scions she had befriended, Ye Zi was finally able to catch her breath.

Tongtong was also greeting her friends. Faced with a group of friends who were curious about Ye Zi's identity, she had no choice but to reveal Ye Zi's cover identity.

Having this overt cover identity did indeed deter many people from continuing their investigation.

Wang Baozhang suddenly walked over to Ye Zi, who was pondering how these powerful and influential people had returned for the wedding. Seeing that Ye Zi had no clue, Wang Baozhang smiled and said:

"Confused?"

"Isn't that obvious? I don't know these people, and Tongtong has never had any dealings with them. What are they doing here for our wedding?" Ye Zi said irritably.

"Simply put, it's about getting to know people and avoiding being mistaken for someone else in the future."

Ye Zi asked with even greater confusion:

"Accidental injury? Do we need to meet with them for our work?"

"You don't actually think these people have anything to hide, do you?"

"Only a fool would think that. But whether their behinds are clean or not is none of my business. And that's not our responsibility. How could we possibly harm them by mistake?"

Wang Baozhang continued:

“These people have businesses not only in China, but also abroad. As for whether their businesses abroad are legal, that’s hard to say.”

"And then what? What does this have to do with me?"

"Of course it's related. What do we do? We deal with things that can't be brought to light."

Their businesses are okay in countries with sound legal systems, but in places with weaker legal systems, they're vulnerable to robbery, and that's when they need our help.

After listening to Wang Baozhang's words, Ye Zi immediately understood that if overseas businesses were robbed, there would definitely be hostages, and the government would have to consider many issues when it mobilized its forces.

There's no need to worry so much about the clandestine forces like the Gates of Hell.

"Even so, the probability of these people being kidnapped is extremely low. There's no need to send the helmsman or heir to inspect an overseas business."
