Yi Qingmeng nodded and continued driving.
Ye Xingchen arrived at one of Zhou Kunsheng's clubs and told Yi Qingmeng to go back first.
In a luxurious private room at the club, Zhou Kunsheng stood up and said respectfully, "Mr. Ye, please."
"Mr. Zhou, have you found out anything?" Ye Xingchen asked as he sat down.
“Mr. Ye, those people in Jinluo City are extremely cautious,” Zhou Kunsheng said. “Although Yun City is only a few hundred kilometers away from Jinluo City, we know very little about them.”
“I understand,” Ye Xingchen nodded.
The three city lords of Jinluo City have always been cautious in their actions. Not to mention Zhou Kunsheng, even the Xuanyu Pavilion under Zhou Fuwen's control knows very little about them.
Moreover, this place is backed by Western world leaders; it's not just a lawless zone.
Every year, a large amount of money flows into Jinluo City. After passing through Jinluo City's money laundering machines, this money of dubious origin flows out cleanly.
So some people don't want to fall into this trap at all, because once they do, many people lose a place to quickly launder money.
So for many years, this place has remained a forbidden zone for various powers.
“However, according to reports from our people in Xuan City, a young man named Jin Xiang has already set off from Jinluo City and is now traveling around the three cities surrounding Yun City, trying to open up the domestic market,” Zhou Kunsheng said.
"The three cities surrounding Yun City are the closest to Jinluo City. Coming from a river on the border, you can directly enter the heartland from these three places, so they are excellent routes for both smuggling and drug trafficking."
“I know that.” Ye Xingchen nodded slowly: “I’ve heard of Jin Xiang. He’s a drug dealer. The anti-drug forces in China are strong enough, but 70% of the drugs circulating in the market are his.”
“That’s right, it’s this person. He’s often active around Yun City. Because no one has ever seen the real him, the police can’t do anything about him.” Zhou Kun nodded.
"So what is his identity?" Ye Xingchen asked.
“The Great City Lord of Jinluo City, the son of Jin Zhihuan,” Zhou Kunsheng said. “This is information that we had our spies planted in Xuan City, and it took us a lot of effort to release it.”
"As expected, not surprising," Ye Xingchen said. "Where is this guy now in the country?"
"They're in Yunshi and the three surrounding cities, probably negotiating some big deal," Zhou Kunsheng said. "And according to reliable sources, one of his subordinates is currently in Yunshi."
"What are his subordinates trying to do in Yun City? Are they trying to open up the domestic market through certain forces in Yun City?" Ye Xingchen's eyes narrowed slightly.
“That’s most likely what he means,” Zhou Kunsheng said. “It’s just that most of the businesses in Yun City are currently controlled by our Zhou or Meng families. If he wants to break through here, he has to get along well with one of our families.”
“Old Master Meng hates evil as if it were his enemy, and President Zhou also despises drugs. I believe that neither you nor Old Master Meng would collude with him.” Ye Xingchen glanced at Zhou Kunsheng.
“Of course not, but it’s hard to say about others.” Zhou Kunsheng’s words were loaded with meaning.
"Who do you think it could be?" Ye Xingchen smiled faintly.
Zhou Kunsheng remained silent, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
“I think President Zhou already has the answer in his heart,” Ye Xingchen said. “Your younger brother is rebellious by nature, and it’s obvious that he’s an ambitious person.”
"Therefore, Mr. Zhou, you must be careful."
"Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Ye. I will be careful." Zhou Kunsheng nodded emphatically.
The following day, Yichen Group.
Li Yixing arrived at the company as agreed and transferred all of his shares in Yichen Group.
Ye Xingchen watched the whole process from the side. When Li Yixing closed the contract and signed his name, a sinister look clearly appeared in his eyes.
Yes, he was unwilling to accept it.
He had his eye on Yichen Group from the very beginning.
After finally getting through the death of Yi Qingmeng's parents, he thought he could finally take complete control of the company, but unexpectedly, Ye Xingchen appeared out of nowhere.
Ye Xingchen's arrival completely disrupted all his plans, so it would be strange if he were in a good mood now that he saw Ye Xingchen.
"Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Li. For the future development of Yichen Group, it's still necessary to centralize some power." After confirming that the contract was correct, Yi Qingmeng smiled and said, "I hope we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."
“I’m also looking forward to working with President Yi.” Li Yixing said through gritted teeth, “But Yi Qingmeng, don’t get too cocky. You’re lucky this time, but our business isn’t over yet.”
"You're still not convinced, are you?" Ye Xingchen stood up with a smile.
"Of course I'm not satisfied, Ye Xingchen. What kind of outsider are you, interfering in company affairs?" Li Yixing said coldly, "Hmph, if it weren't for you..."
"If it weren't for me, what could you have done?" Ye Xingchen asked, leaning closer to him.
Li Yixing snorted and didn't answer. He stood up and was about to leave.
"Li Yixing, if you're not satisfied, say so now." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly.
He knew this guy was impulsive, and because of his brother-in-law, he had never suffered a loss in Yun City.
Moreover, Ye Xingchen also wanted to learn some things through this guy.
“That’s right, I’m not convinced.” Li Yixing turned around abruptly, pointed at Ye Xingchen and hissed, “Ye Xingchen, you just wait, you won’t be smug for long. I’ll have someone deal with you sooner or later.”
"Did you hire someone to deal with me, or did Zhou Minggan hire someone to deal with me?" Ye Xingchen smiled faintly.
Li Yixing abruptly shut his mouth, realizing that he might have said a bit too much.
"Anyway, you just wait." He gave Ye Xingchen a warning look, then left angrily.
As he watched the other person slam the door and leave, Ye Xingchen's gaze gradually sharpened.
"Did he find some powerful backer?" Yi Qingmeng couldn't help but feel worried.
"We've indeed found a powerful backer, and this backer is quite influential," Ye Xingchen said with a smile. "I'd like to see how they deal with me."
"Because of me, you've gotten yourself into quite a bit of trouble." Yi Qingmeng looked up at Ye Xingchen, her tone somewhat apologetic.
"No, these things have nothing to do with you. They're my own business." Ye Xingchen smiled.
It was evening at a private villa clubhouse in the suburbs of Yun City.
The area around the club was under lockdown and crowded with people. Inside the club, a young man in a suit and white hat was having a great time chatting and laughing with several girls.
