"Fifth Master has come in person?" Li Bing was both surprised and delighted to see the person coming down the stairs through the window.
He was just a lowly bouncer and had no access to Fifth Master, but he never expected that Fifth Master would come in person after just one phone call, which made him overjoyed.
"You're dead meat, kid. Fifth Master is here to deal with you personally." Li Bing was overjoyed and quickly told his underlings to get up and greet Qin Wu.
Just as they reached the stairwell, Qin Wu led his men up.
"Fifth Master, I am Li Bing from the inner post of the mansion. You can just call me Xiao Bing. It's a small matter that I'm sorry to trouble you to do it personally." Li Bing ran over and said, bowing and scraping.
"What are you doing here?" Qin Wu asked, puzzled. Li Bing was a nobody; he had hundreds of employees at his establishment, and no one remembered who he was.
“I am…” Li Bing was taken aback. Judging from Fifth Master’s tone, he didn’t seem to be here to deal with Ye Xingchen.
"Is Master Qin coming with such a large entourage to seek revenge on me?" Ye Xingchen glanced at Qin Wu.
When Qin Wu saw Ye Xingchen, his expression tightened. He quickly stepped forward and said respectfully, "Mr. Ye, please don't misunderstand. I've come specifically to thank you."
"If Mr. Ye hadn't reminded me, I probably would have lost my life last night."
"Thank you, my savior?" Li Bing's smile froze on his face, then turned deathly pale. He had probably messed with the wrong person this time.
"These are your men? They brought people to block our way and even threatened to kill us. Is this how you thank us?" Ye Xingchen pointed at Li Bing.
"Mr. Ye, there's been a misunderstanding. Please wait a moment, I'll clarify things and give you an explanation right away." Qin Wu was startled. He turned to Li Bing and glared angrily: "What's going on?"
"Fifth Master, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding." Li Bing trembled in fright.
"Misunderstanding? Is he trying to cause trouble in my name again?" Qin Wu gritted his teeth in hatred: "Guards, break his legs and kick him out of Tianhai. He shall never set foot in Tianhai again."
Two bodyguards in suits swiftly pinned Li Bing to the ground. Li Bing screamed in fright, "Fifth Master, I didn't mean to, I was wrong, please give me another chance."
A bodyguard punched him in the throat, instantly silencing him. Then, several men dragged him out, and a moment later, a hysterical scream rang out from outside.
"Mr. Ye, I'm so sorry. My men were ignorant. This will not happen again," Qin Wu said respectfully.
"Fifth Master, just say what you need to say. There's no need to be so polite with me," Ye Xingchen said with a smile.
People like Qin Wu are local bullies, so you still have to maintain appearances.
"I want to ask Mr. Ye to save me," Qin Wu pleaded. "Help me get through this life-or-death ordeal. To be honest, Mr. Ye, a master predicted thirty years ago that I would face a calamity around the age of fifty."
“I was fortunate to be reminded by Mr. Ye last night, otherwise I would have gone west. I know that Mr. Ye is a master, so I beg Mr. Ye to save my life.”
"Saving you isn't difficult, but I'll have to bear the consequences and backlash from defying fate," Ye Xingchen said, feigning profundity.
"Mr. Ye..." Qin Wu knelt down on the ground with a thud, and said in a trembling voice, "Please, you must help me."
"Your attitude seems sincere, so get up." Ye Xingchen took out the lightning-struck wood he had collected, cut off a small piece, engraved an inscription on it, asked Qin Wu for his birth date and time, and added his mental power to it.
"You must carry this with you at all times, and you can't take it off even when you're taking a shower, understand?" Ye Xingchen said seriously.
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Ye." Qin Wu was overjoyed and quickly took it and put it away.
Last night's events convinced him that Ye Xingchen must be a master, and whether he could survive this ordeal depended on Ye Xingchen.
"Forty-nine days after the seventh day, remember not to take it off." Ye Xingchen said, "If you have nothing else to do, you can leave now, I have other things to do."
"Yes, Mr. Ye." Qin Wu nodded hurriedly, then turned to look at his subordinate and waved his hand.
A subordinate handed Qin Wu a file folder, which Qin Wu accepted with both hands and presented sincerely, saying, "Mr. Ye, this is a small token of my appreciation, please accept it."
"What is this?" Ye Xingchen asked.
"The key inside is a vacant apartment in Jinxiu Jiangnan, and there's a bank card with one million yuan in it. It's just a small token of my appreciation," Qin Wu said, bowing and scraping.
Jinxiu Jiangnan is a high-end residential community in Tianhai. The large apartments there start at 300 square meters, so this apartment would probably cost at least 20 million yuan.
Ye Xingchen didn't stand on ceremony; he was short of money and needed to find a place to stay anyway.
Moreover, he saved Qin Wu's life; he's worth billions, so this amount of money is nothing to him.
“Mr. Ye, I’ll take my leave now. My Sihai Group has quite a few connections in Ninghai. If you have any needs, please feel free to ask,” Qin Wu said respectfully, then left with his men.
"Pack your frequently used things, it's time to move." Ye Xingchen took out the key from the file folder and smiled slightly.
"It's been five or six years since we last met, and I didn't expect you to have changed so much." Qin Yue looked at Ye Xingchen with a complicated expression.
"Something did happen to me. Maybe God felt that I had suffered too much in the first half of my life, so He's making it up to me." Ye Xingchen held her hand: "Why don't you quit your job?"
"What are you going to do if you don't go to work?" Qin Yue said irritably, "Are you going to support me?"
"Sure, I'll support you, and then you can consider having a child with me?" Ye Xingchen chuckled.
"I don't want to." Qin Yue blushed, a hint of anger in her eyes, making her appear charming and alluring.
Ye Xingchen was secretly pleased; a woman like Qin Yue, once conquered, would be devoted to you.
The apartment Qin Wu gifted us is in a great location, in the center of the new city, a large lakeside 300-square-meter flat.
The apartment is on the seventh floor, and the large balcony overlooks the entire Qilin Lake.
Moreover, Qin Wu was very thoughtful; the room was almost fully equipped, so you could move in with just your bags.
"I'll go buy groceries and cook." Seeing that it was getting late, Qin Yue was about to leave.
"No need, someone's treating us to dinner today at Tianhai Banquet across from the neighborhood. Let's go together," Ye Xingchen said after receiving Ning Qingyan's message, inviting him to dinner if he had time.
"I won't go with your friend," Qin Yue said with a smile.
“Let’s go together. Who goes out to eat without their girlfriend?” Ye Xingchen chuckled.
When Qin Yue and I arrived at the first floor of the building where Tianhai Banquet was located, just as we were about to go in, we heard Li Li's voice from behind us.
"Mom, Zhou An took us to Tianhai Banquet for dinner. It's the most upscale restaurant in Tianhai, and all the ingredients are top-quality imported."
Turning my head, I saw that Li Li and Zhou An were walking and talking with a woman.
The middle-aged woman was Li Li's mother, Chen Jing. Li Li said excitedly, "This place costs five thousand yuan per person, and it's a private membership system. Ordinary people can't eat here even if they have money."
“Yes, Auntie, you must try their signature dishes when you come here: braised abalone with sea cucumber and braised deer tendon with lingzhi mushroom. They are all extremely precious ingredients and are very nourishing,” Zhou An said with a smile.
"Good, good, I really have a good son-in-law." Chen Jing beamed with delight, clearly pleased.
As they walked and chatted, Li Li suddenly stopped in her tracks and asked in surprise, "Ye Xingchen, what are you doing here?"
