"What's up?" Ye Xingchen glanced back at her.
"Can you really cure my grandfather's illness?" Zhou Miaoqing asked.
"If he can't be cured, he'll have to have his leg amputated. Oh, by the way, at his age, he probably won't make it off the operating table. Prepare for the worst," Ye Xingchen said calmly.
"You..." Zhou Miaoqing was speechless with anger, but then she suppressed her anger and said, "Go back to my grandfather for treatment."
Her tone was harsh, commanding, which was extremely unpleasant to hear.
"Is this how you ask for help?" Ye Xingchen retorted.
"Asking for help? Heh, you're overthinking it. Our Zhou family never asks for help." Zhou Miaoqing sneered, "You help my grandfather with his illness, I'll pay you the consultation fee, and we'll be even."
"Consultation fee?" Ye Xingchen smiled immediately: "Sure, how much are you planning to pay?"
"Ten million, is that enough?" Zhou Miaoqing raised an eyebrow, her tone extremely condescending.
“Ten million isn’t enough. Your grandfather is a gambling king.” Ye Xingchen shook his head: “It’ll cost at least several hundred million. One price, three hundred million for the consultation fee. I guarantee he can stand up immediately.”
"Are you crazy? Whose consultation fee is three hundred million?" Zhou Miaoqing felt that Ye Xingchen was just being unreasonable.
"The gambling king of the Australian peninsula, worth 600 billion, isn't even worth 300 million?" Ye Xingchen sneered.
“My grandfather’s life is priceless, of course, but you’re not worth that much money.” Zhou Miaoqing said bitterly, “Fifty million, go and get my grandfather treated right away.”
"Then go find someone else." Ye Xingchen shook his head.
"Ye Xingchen, you need to find out who my grandfather is. So many people are begging him to treat their illnesses!" Zhou Miaoqing said angrily.
"Then why don't you go find them?" Ye Xingchen spread his hands and turned to leave.
"Chen Yi, stop him!" Zhou Miaoqing shouted sternly.
Chen Yi was the bodyguard of Huang Jing. Upon receiving Zhou Miaoqing's order, he took a step forward, grabbed at the air with his right hand, and then reached out to lock Ye Xingchen's hands together.
Ye Xingchen frowned, his inner strength subsided, and he moved out of his way. At the same time, he gathered inner strength in his right hand and punched back.
Chen Yi was startled. He hadn't expected Ye Xingchen to be a master. He immediately held his breath and launched a fierce attack on Ye Xingchen.
The two exchanged seven or eight blows in an instant, and finally fought with a palm strike before retreating.
Chen Yi's hands stiffened and his body trembled slightly. He had clearly lost the battle with this final palm strike. Although they were both at the Yellow Realm, Ye Xingchen's strength far surpassed his.
"Quickly capture him, don't let him get away!" Zhou Miaoqing was still screaming.
Chen Yi gritted his teeth, forcefully clenched his fists, and with a soft click, his hands regained their freedom. He then grabbed and shook his waist with his right hand.
With a whoosh, a soft sword straightened in his hand, then transformed into a sword snake, fiercely attacking Ye Xingchen.
Chen Yi was very strong, with sharp swordsmanship. Moreover, knowing Ye Xingchen's strength, he dared not hold back at all, and every sword strike was aimed at vital points.
Ye Xingchen was furious. He stepped back, dodging the opponent's sword, and then raised his right palm upward, and the Crimson Cloud appeared in his palm.
Seeing the opponent's sword attack, he raised his right hand with sword fingers together, and with a hum, the sword pellet condensed into a three-foot-long sword light in his palm.
With a series of clangs, the sword in Chen Yi's hand broke into several pieces. Then, Chi Xiao rushed forward, its sword light surging, and pressed against Chen Yi's neck.
Chen Yi felt a chill run through him; an immense killing intent enveloped him, rendering him unable to move.
"Bullying others by relying on your power. I don't think your Zhou family is any better." Ye Xingchen glanced coldly at Zhou Miaoqing.
"Let him go, and you dare to lay a finger on any member of the Zhou family!" Zhou Miaoqing's expression changed drastically.
"Your Zhou family's dogs bite, and I can't even fight back? Today I'm really going to take him down." Ye Xingchen sneered: "Using force to be violent deserves to be crippled."
Suddenly, he thrust his right hand forward, and Chixiao slid forward, striking Chen Yi's dantian with a soft "poof".
Chen Yi grunted and staggered backward. Ye Xingchen stepped forward, and Tianxiao returned to his hand. With a swing of his sword, Chen Yi let out a miserable scream.
His right arm shot into the sky and landed on the ground. Chen Yi fell to his knees with a thud, covered in sweat and with a sallow complexion.
Ye Xingchen severed his arm with a single sword strike and destroyed his dantian, rendering Chen Yi's martial arts completely ruined. He would be a cripple from now on.
"I'm teaching you a lesson today. Don't bother me again." Ye Xingchen warned Zhou Miaoqing before turning and leaving.
Zhou Miaoqing's face turned ashen, but she dared not stop them. Her family was part of high society and had connections with many powerful and wealthy people. She never expected to suffer such a huge loss in the mainland.
“Miss… Chen Yi is useless.” Chen Yi gritted his teeth.
"Useless." Zhou Miaoqing didn't care about Chen Yi at all. She stomped her foot and turned back.
As soon as Ye Xingchen left, Ning Xin called. He said angrily, "Brother Ye, we've found out about the building's tilt. The steel bars and concrete are both substandard."
“Wang Qiang did all of this, using inferior materials and passing them off as high-quality ones. Moreover, we conducted an emergency investigation of several construction projects under his supervision, and they all had different problems.”
"If these problems were to erupt, such as the building collapsing during construction or cracks appearing after the owners move in, it would be a disaster for the Ning family."
"So what are your plans to do now?" Ye Xingchen asked.
“Wang Qiang has been apprehended. Fortunately, he only recently took charge of the new project. The previous houses are fine. These projects have remedial measures in place. Those that can't be remedied are simply demolished and rebuilt. This time, we've suffered a huge loss,” Ning Xin said helplessly.
"As long as the green hills remain, there's no fear of running out of firewood. After your father gets through this ordeal, he'll have a grand future ahead," Ye Xingchen said with a smile.
"Thank you, Brother Ye. My dad told me to thank you properly. He also apologized to you. After he finishes dealing with his business, he'll invite you to his home," Ning Xin said gratefully.
"Okay, no problem."
Just as Ye Xingchen hung up the phone, Lü Peng called: "Brother, I've got it, I'm pregnant!"
"Brother Lü, is your wife pregnant?" Ye Xingchen instantly guessed what Lü Peng meant.
“Yes, I went to the hospital for a check-up today. Your sister-in-law and I have been married for ten years, and she has never been able to conceive. But after I followed your instructions, I will have good news soon.” Lu Peng’s tone was filled with barely suppressed excitement: “You are my great benefactor.”
"Congratulations, Brother Lü! I'll get some calming and nourishing medicine for your wife later. Just wait to hold your son!" Ye Xingchen laughed.
It has been over a month since I helped Lü Peng resolve his doubts, so it is definitely not a coincidence that his wife is pregnant.
Without Ye Xingchen's explanation, judging from the child-cutting lines on Lü Peng's face, he would have been childless, so he was extremely happy.
"Thank you so much, brother. I'm hosting a banquet here tonight, and I'll treat you to a good time. You absolutely must come!" Lü Peng laughed heartily.
"I'll definitely be there," Ye Xingchen said.
In the evening, Ye Xingchen arrived at Pengmanlou Restaurant in the North Ring Road.
Lu Peng comes from a restaurant background, and Pengmanlou has opened stores all over Tianhai and its surrounding areas. This store is a flagship store and also the headquarters of Pengmanlou.
Just as Ye Xingchen reached the door, a puzzled voice came from behind him: "Ye Xingchen?"
He turned around and saw a middle-aged man with gray hair standing behind him.
