"Hey, why are you in such a good mood today? What's the good news?" Ye Xingchen asked in surprise.
"Nothing good happened. You celebrated my birthday and gave me such a nice car, so I'm just treating you," Qin Yue said with a grin.
"Alright, let's go." Ye Xingchen glanced at Li Qian: "Li Qian, your period hasn't come to see you in a long time, right? Go to the hospital for a check-up. And Zhou Rong, congratulations, you're going to be a grandmother."
After Ye Xingchen finished speaking, he and Qin Yue got into the car, leaving the mother and daughter with only exhaust fumes.
"You bastard, giving someone such a nice car as a gift! I'm your father's wife, and you don't even know how to show me some respect!" Zhou Rong's face turned pale with anger, then she exclaimed in surprise, "What did he just say? Li Qian, you're pregnant?"
"I...I don't know. I haven't had a good appetite lately, I feel nauseous, and my period is late." Li Qian's face turned pale.
"You brat, whose is this?" Zhou Rong screamed.
"I...I don't know, there were a lot of boys playing at the same time." Li Qian started to get scared.
"You're such a despicable wretch, a worthless piece of trash, go to the hospital right now!" Zhou Rong said anxiously, slapping her thigh repeatedly.
Canglang Base.
"Grandpa Zhou, this is a hair I took from Ye Xingchen as you instructed." Ling Yan handed the hair to Zhou Fuwen.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Zhou Fuwen took the hair, his expression complicated: "No matter how you investigate, Ye Xingchen's identity fits perfectly with my senior brother Xia Xueming's missing grandson."
“When the child had the accident, my niece Xia Jingyi’s hair turned white overnight, and my senior brother went insane and disappeared not long after. If it really is him, that would be wonderful.”
"Old Zhou, are you planning to go back to Yanjing to have Old Xia's daughter do the paternity test?" Ling Xinyan asked.
“Yes, I have this hair. I’m trying to secretly do a DNA test with Jingyi. If it’s her child, that would be great.” Zhou Fuwen’s eyes lit up.
"Sigh, that old man from the Ye family is so stubborn. Ye Jinyu was a handsome and talented man, and Xia's daughter was a famous talented woman in Yanjing. They were such a perfect couple, but they were forcibly separated because of a grudge from many years ago."
Ling Xingyan shook his head and sighed: "Ye Jinyu is a filial son. The old man of the Ye family threatened to sever his relationship with his son, which made him disheartened. In the end, he went to the Golden Triangle to carry out a mission, but the operation was leaked and he was surrounded."
“Yes, he had a bright future ahead of him. He was the youngest military talent, leading the ‘Red Feather’ army. But he died in the southern border region, and his ashes were displayed on the walls of Jinluo City in the Golden Triangle by the biggest drug lord as a show of force. It has been more than 20 years since then.” Zhou Fuwen clenched his fists tightly.
He said in a deep voice, "All the evil was caused by that old man from the Ye family. I wonder if he has ever regretted it after all these years."
“He wouldn’t mistake it. If this child is Ye Jinyu’s child, that would be great. With his strength, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to single-handedly storm Jinluo City and retrieve Jinyu’s ashes to boost the morale of the army.” Ling Xingyan clenched his fists.
"Old Ling, I'm going back to Beijing now to verify this matter. How long are you going to stay in Tianhai?" Zhou Fuwen asked.
“Sato Matsuichi from Niko Island has come to Tianhai. I don’t know what kind of conspiracy he’s plotting. I’m here to keep things under control. Let me know as soon as you have any news,” Ling Xingyan said.
"Fine, hmph, the Japanese are still not giving up. Do they really think China has no one to rely on?" Zhou Fuwen snorted.
When Ye Xingchen returned home, he received an invitation to a banquet at Tianhai Juxinglou that evening.
However, the person who invited him was Chu Xiang.
This guy bought fake Soul-Locking Pills before, and he was beaten up by Ye Xingchen for trying to sexually harass Lin Nianwei. There must be another reason why he invited me to the banquet today.
Ye Xingchen wasn't one to shy away from trouble. Since you invited me, I'll accept the invitation; otherwise, I'd be disrespecting you.
Nine o'clock at night, Juxinglou.
Juxinglou is no ordinary place. It is usually only used by powerful and influential people in Tianhai to discuss important matters or resolve grievances.
The building is seven stories high, with half of it facing the river, subtly alluding to the seven stars.
On the top floor of Juxing Tower, in a very large private room, Ye Xingchen and Chu Xiang met.
"Haha, Mr. Ye, there are no outsiders today, just the two of us." Chu Xiang arrived on time, and he was indeed alone.
However, Ye Xingchen saw many figures below Juxing Tower, and the glint of blades in the shadows suggested that this banquet might actually be a trap.
"Young Master Chu, just say what you need to say. Juxing Tower isn't a place you can just come to casually," Ye Xingchen said calmly.
"I didn't mean anything by it. There was some misunderstanding between me and President Ye before, so I just wanted to clear up those misunderstandings today and wipe the slate clean of what happened between us."
Chu Xiang was very polite: "After all, it's always better to have more friends than more enemies, what do you think, Mr. Ye?"
"I also think it's better to have more friends than more enemies, but it depends on whether the friend is worth making." Ye Xingchen glanced at him.
Although the Chu family is a second-generation rich kid, they still have connections and resources. You can't hit someone who's all smiles, but his politeness today must have some other reason.
"My Chu family is one of the four major families in Tianhai, ranking first. Do you think it's worthwhile to befriend me?" Chu Xiang said with a smile, "President Ye's Xingchen Group is developing well. If there are any problems that cannot be solved in the future, my Chu family will step in."
"Moreover, the Chu family will also provide financial support to Xingchen Group. In short, from now on, the Chu family will protect Xingchen Group."
"What are your conditions?" Ye Xingchen knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch.
If the Chu Group supports him, the Xingchen Group will definitely avoid many detours, but Ye Xingchen does not believe that they will support him for no reason.
"Of course there are conditions. My Chu family will invest 300 million yuan and take 60% of the shares in Xingchen Group," Chu Xiang said leisurely. "From now on, all decisions of Xingchen Group will be made by us."
"Three hundred million for sixty percent of my shares?" Ye Xingchen laughed. Wasn't this blatant robbery?
Orders for Soul-Locking Pills and Wound-Inducing Ointment are pouring in, and Xingchen Group's valuation is now over 5 billion.
They want to take 60% of the shares for just 300 million, and make the decisions entirely with the Chu family? What's the difference between that and handing the company over to someone else?
“That’s right, all the new drug formulas in your company belong to the Chu family,” Chu Xiang said arrogantly.
"Anything else?" Ye Xingchen asked.
"Also, I need the Soul-Locking Pill and the formula for your Golden-Red Wound Ointment," Chu Xiang said. "That's all I can think of for now."
"There are so many people making wishes today, is Young Master Chu making a wish?" Ye Xingchen asked with a sneer.
"I'm seriously discussing cooperation with you, so please take it seriously," Chu Xiang snorted.
"Even if I gave you this formula, it wouldn't be of any use, because you can't produce it." Ye Xingchen glanced at him.
"That's my business. I've brought the three hundred million, and the contract is here. Sign it." Chu Xiang's humble attitude from before vanished without a trace.
