"Fine, fine, you say you can handle it, then you can handle it? Ye Xingchen, why do I always feel like you've got the victory in the bag?" Zhang Shihao said, somewhat unconvinced.
In terms of looks, he was much better than this guy, but he just couldn't find that kind of underlying confidence in Ye Xingchen.
Whenever this guy shows up, he gives off a feeling that he has victory in his grasp.
"What, you still don't trust me? How about we make a bet?" Ye Xingchen said leisurely.
"What are we betting on?" Zhang Shih-hao immediately perked up upon hearing this.
“Black Bear will definitely find a way to contact us within an hour,” Ye Xingchen said. “If he does, you’ll owe me another drink.”
“Okay, one hour is the agreed time.” Zhang Shih-hao grabbed his wrist and glanced at the large Rolex on his wrist: “I think you’re going to lose this time.”
"That's not necessarily true," Ye Xingchen said with a smile. "Let's wait a bit. We just transmitted too much information to that guy. I think it will take him a while to process it."
“Alright, I’ll wait then. You’re being a bit too optimistic this time. I think even if that guy can figure it out, it won’t be until tomorrow. An hour? Heh, I don’t believe it,” Zhang Shihao said confidently.
"Then let's give it a try." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly and said, "You should never underestimate the mind of someone who is afraid of death. He must be going through a fierce internal struggle right now."
"As long as he can stay alive, he will do everything he can to seize every opportunity."
Sure enough, less than an hour later, Liu Qingmei rushed in: "The black bear from the south of the city has arrived and specifically wants to see you."
"See, I told you, it won't be more than an hour." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly.
"Alright, alright, you win this time." Zhang Shihao nodded helplessly, feeling that Ye Xingchen was the one who had the better scheming.
The other party arrived within an hour, demonstrating Ye Xingchen's incredibly accurate grasp of human nature.
"Let's go out and see him, let's see what this kid has to say." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly and led Zhang Shihao out.
A large man was seen in the living room, looking very uneasy.
This guy was big and burly, and looked like a ruthless person, but you could tell from the look in his eyes that he was a coward who clung to life.
Compared to the previous Lao Yao, this guy is a bit lacking, but Ye Xingchen killing Lao Yao is also a warning to this guy, letting him know that if he doesn't cooperate, he will only face death.
This guy was none other than Black Bear. When he saw Ye Xingchen walk in, he quickly stood up and went to greet him.
"You must be Black Bear?" Ye Xingchen sat down and glanced at Black Bear sideways.
"It's me. You... are you Mr. Ye?" Black Bear bowed respectfully. He already knew that the person in front of him was the one he was looking for, but he still asked one more question out of habit.
"Yes, I am Ye Xingchen." Ye Xingchen nodded slightly: "Tell me why you're here."
Black Bear looked around and his gaze fell on Zhang Shihao and Liu Qingmei.
"Don't worry about anything, we're all on the same side. Just say what you need to say." Ye Xingchen had figured out what this guy meant.
“Yes…” Black Bear gritted his teeth, then looked up at Ye Xingchen: “Mr. Ye, I would like to cooperate with you.”
"What kind of cooperation?" Ye Xingchen asked knowingly.
“Mr. Ye, let’s not beat around the bush, I’m one of Young Master Na’s men.” Black Bear straightened up and stared directly at Ye Xingchen.
"Oh, Young Master Na? Who is this Young Master Na you're talking about? Na Yuanzhen?" Ye Xingchen turned his head to look at the black bear, a glint of shrewdness in his eyes.
"Yes, yes." The black bear felt suffocated by the sharp light in Ye Xingchen's eyes, and he nodded tremblingly.
"As far as I know, you are Na Yuanzhen's number one lackey." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly: "And since you're here, you must know that there's a grudge between him and me."
"If you come to me now, wouldn't that be tantamount to betraying him?"
“Mr. Ye,” Black Bear said with a bitter smile, “I don’t know what the grudge is between you and him, but I don’t mean anything by it, I just want to protect myself.”
Yes, Black Bear only wants to protect himself now. Whether it's Ye Xingchen or Na Yuanzhen, those two are like gods fighting, and he, a mere pawn, won't join in the fun.
No matter which side he stands on, the best outcome is that he'll be used as cannon fodder, or he won't even qualify to be cannon fodder.
So now he's approached Ye Xingchen, offering the information he possesses in exchange for his life.
"The fact that you thought of this shows that you are quite pragmatic." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly: "In that case, we can talk."
"Thank you, Mr. Ye." Black Bear finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Since Ye Xingchen didn't refuse, it means there's still a possibility of negotiation.
"Tell me everything you know about Na Yuanzhen." Ye Xingchen turned to look at the black bear.
“Mr. Ye, I said yes, but you must grant me one request,” Black Bear said through gritted teeth.
"You're not in a position to negotiate with me right now," Ye Xingchen glanced at the black bear. "Besides, not just anyone can negotiate with me."
Whether you can save your own life depends on how much you have done for Na Yuanzhen over the years, and what you have done.
"If you were the one who did all the dirty work, then I'm sorry, I can't save your life, but I can guarantee that your family will be safe."
“Mr. Ye, I can swear.” Black Bear raised his right hand and said solemnly, “Most of Na Yuanzhen’s things were done by Lao Yao, and I was just an ordinary manager under him.”
"I wouldn't dare say that I haven't done anything wrong, but at least I've never done anything that would offend heaven and anger people."
"That's good!" Ye Xingchen nodded gently. "Now I'll ask you a few questions, and you must answer them truthfully."
"Don't be complacent. I can tell from your eyes whether what you're saying is true or not."
"Mr. Ye, you can ask. As long as it's something I know, I'll tell you everything I know." Black Bear nodded.
"Where is Na Yuanzhen? What is his plan?" Ye Xingchen asked.
“In a villa in the north of the city, there is a hill behind the villa, the hill has been hollowed out,” Black Bear said. “The villa is very dilapidated and old, it looks like no one has lived there for a long time, and there is always an old servant sweeping the floor in front of the door.”
"That old servant is very strong, at least a master of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm."
"And all his Blood Guards are gathered there."
Without Ye Xingchen asking any further questions, Black Bear told him everything he knew.
"You're quite cooperative." Ye Xingchen looked at the black bear with some surprise: "Na Yuanzhen must have given you quite a bit of benefits, right? Now that disaster is upon us, you just sell him out. Is that a good idea?"
