Li Qianlan was also sitting in his office, watching Zhou Changhe scold his subordinates and then cautiously said, "Um... son-in-law, I didn't expect this girl to be so stubborn."
"But don't worry, I know her personality. She'll be back soon. Don't let it affect your mood."
Li Qianlan is a very daring person. In fact, she is about the same age as Zhou Changhe, and she is even two years younger than Zhou Changhe.
She called such a person her son-in-law with such sweetness; most people wouldn't do that.
Zhou Changhe lit a cigar, took a deep drag, and exhaled a breath of stale air: "Li Qianlan, if you can't find your daughter in three days, I will return the 500 million yuan dowry I gave you, with interest."
"If we can't get it back, you know the consequences."
"Oh dear, son-in-law, how can you say such a thing? Don't worry, give me a few days, and I will definitely find her." Li Qianlan was startled.
She knew Zhou Changhe's character; his rise to power wasn't exactly honorable. Although he now held the title of one of the three major groups in Yanjing, his actions were undeniably rife with banditry.
If you really upset him, he's capable of doing anything.
Moreover, he is a businessman. If Lin Nianwei really doesn't come back this time, then things will be very serious. Have you ever seen a businessman do a losing business?
“That would be best.” Zhou Changhe walked to her side and placed his hand heavily on her shoulder: “I’m telling you right now, I still like Lin Nianwei.”
"Leaving aside the dowry, I've already spent over a hundred million on you. If she doesn't come back, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"No, no, don't worry, she will definitely come back. I'll go find her right now and bring her back." Li Qianlan nodded hurriedly.
Just then, Zhou Changhe's assistant rushed over: "Mr. Zhou, Miss Lin has arrived, and she brought a man with her."
"She came of her own accord?" Zhou Changhe was overjoyed and quickly called out, "Quickly, let her in, quick!"
Soon, Lin Nianwei walked in, hiding behind Ye Xingchen and not daring to show herself.
"You brat, you still know how to come back?" Li Qianlan was furious. She screamed, "Let me tell you, I accepted the betrothal gifts. If you dare to run away, I will chase you to the ends of the earth and bring you back."
Lin Nianwei hid behind Ye Xingchen, not saying a word, letting her yell and curse.
"Alright, stop scolding. This is my wife." Zhou Changhe said with a grin, "Nianwei, it's good that you're back. Have you thought things through this time?"
"There's nothing wrong with following me. With me around, you won't have to worry about investment for your entertainment company. I'll give you hundreds of millions to burn every year."
"You're still young, always thinking about love and romance. To be honest, that stuff is worthless. A successful person like me is the best choice for you."
Lin Nianwei remained hidden behind Ye Xingchen, too afraid to come out. Zhou Changhe reached out and grabbed her hand, saying, "Come here, what are you hiding for? Let's go get our marriage certificate right now, and I'll give you a grand wedding."
"Don't touch me." Before Zhou Changhe could reach out, Ye Xingchen stopped him and threw his hand back.
"Who are you?" Zhou Changhe was slightly taken aback.
"He's the pretty boy who kidnapped Nianwei, you bastard! I'll tear his mouth apart!" Li Qianlan was furious when she saw Ye Xingchen. She stepped forward aggressively, ready to attack.
However, when Ye Xingchen gave her a sharp look, Li Qianlan trembled in fright, and her hands froze instantly.
"So it was you? Kid, you're fucking asking for it, aren't you? Do you know who I am? I can make you disappear from Yanjing with a flick of my finger." Zhou Changhe said viciously, "What are you doing holding my wife's hand? Let go."
As the guy was about to hit him again, Ye Xingchen quickly slapped his hand away.
Zhou Changhe's hand recoiled as if he'd been electrocuted. He stared at Ye Xingchen in disbelief: "You dare fight back? You've gone too far! Guards, guards!"
Suddenly, a group of bodyguards rushed in and surrounded the office completely.
"Are you Zhou Changhe?" Ye Xingchen glanced at the bald man.
“That’s right, I am Zhou Changhe.” Zhou Changhe looked coldly at Ye Xingchen: “And who are you?”
"Who I am is not important. I'm here today to announce this matter." Ye Xingchen grabbed Lin Nianwei's hand and pushed her forward: "Look carefully, Lin Nianwei is my woman from now on. If you dare to make a move on her again, I'll take your life."
"Are you fucking crazy?" Zhou Changhe was shocked. Ye Xingchen had just declared his ownership right in front of him? How could he bear this? This was his territory!
"I'll only say this once, understand?" Ye Xingchen said, "If you dare to reach out to her again, I'll chop off your hand."
"You fucking want to die! Men, kill him!" Zhou Changhe was furious. He pointed at Ye Xingchen and roared.
His group of bodyguards were no pushovers either; they swarmed forward, grabbed their weapons, and attacked Ye Xingchen.
Ye Xingchen shielded Lin Nianwei with his backhand, then delivered a side kick, channeling his inner energy.
With a whoosh, several thugs were sent flying, knocking down half of the office's bodyguards. Ye Xingchen took a deep breath, crossed his arms, and shuddered slightly.
The powerful true energy swept across the field like a giant dragon, accompanied by screams of agony, causing chaos and confusion.
By the time Ye Xingchen stood still, there was almost no one left standing on the scene.
Zhou Changhe was so angry that he trembled all over. He picked up the landline on the table and dialed a number with trembling hands: "Send people over here, bring your weapons, right now, damn it, I'm going to kill you this time."
"Who are you trying to kill?" Just then, a cold voice rang out at the office door.
Xia Hanyue walked in with several people. After she entered, the people behind her locked the office door behind her.
"Xia, Xia Hanyue?" Zhou Changhe was startled, and his hand holding the landline froze on the spot.
"Mr. Zhou, what happened? Should we take some people over there right away?" The other person's voice could still be heard through the microphone.
"No, it's alright, it's nothing." Zhou Changhe hung up the phone, then looked at Xia Hanyue with a hint of fear in his eyes: "Why are you here?"
"Of course I'm here to settle scores with you. You leaked some of my information to Li Changsheng, allowing him to manipulate me during negotiations. You haven't forgotten that, have you?" Xia Hanyue smiled faintly.
