"Very well, I'll find some time to go to Japan and wipe out your entire Bei family," Ye Xingchen said coldly.
“You…” Yagyu Yuuma spat out another mouthful of blood: “Don’t blame your family, Ye Xingchen, you have no sense of morality.”
"Morality is for people, not for beasts like you." Ye Xingchen sneered, "Either tell me where Sato is, or I'll wipe out your entire Bei family."
Yuuma Yagyu's body trembled uncontrollably, his expression one of extreme rage.
"He went to... the blessed land of the dragon vein."
"Has he already taken action?" Ye Xingchen was taken aback.
"Our Nine Chrysanthemums lineage of Japan has mobilized all its experts. This time, we are determined to succeed by taking advantage of their fortune. Ye Xingchen, it's too late for you."
"We will surely benefit from the fortunes of China in the future, hahaha..."
Yagyu Yuuma's expression was ferocious. He laughed loudly, but suddenly his smile froze, and then his head slumped heavily to the ground.
"Those who covet the fate of our Chinese nation deserve to die." Ye Xingchen coldly stared at Liu Sheng Youzhen, then leaped up and left the deep pit.
After reporting the situation to Elder Ling, Ye Xingchen took Du Fang back.
Du Fang was a little frightened and remained silent the whole way.
Only after he took her home did she grab Ye Xingchen's hand, and tears streamed down her face like beads from a broken string.
"Alright, it's all over, it's okay now." Ye Xingchen put his arm around her shoulder and kept comforting her.
"You said you wouldn't leave tonight, that you belonged to me, do you still keep your word?" Du Fang looked up at Ye Xingchen with teary eyes.
"Of course I mean it. I'm not leaving. I'll stay and keep you company," Ye Xingchen said earnestly.
Du Fang buried her head in Ye Xingchen's arms, holding the man she had longed for day and night tightly, refusing to let go.
Ye Xingchen hugged her, feeling somewhat guilty, since the attack on her was entirely due to his inadequate protection.
It seems we need to strengthen the protection of senior management and R&D personnel in the future, since Xingchen Group will continue to grow bigger and bigger, and there will be more and more incidents like this in the future.
"Ye Xingchen." Du Fang suddenly raised her head, her lips very close to Ye Xingchen's.
"Hmm?" Ye Xingchen asked, "What's wrong?"
"I want you." Du Fang gritted her teeth and finally said those words.
"You want...me?" Ye Xingchen didn't react for a moment.
Du Fang had gone all out; she suddenly pressed Ye Xingchen down beneath her and kissed him.
The next day, Elder Ling summoned Ye Xingchen early in the morning.
"The situation is more serious than we imagined." Old Ling's expression was somewhat serious: "After receiving your message, we mobilized all our resources to intercept Sato Matsuichi."
"The bodies of several masters from the Nine Giants lineage were left behind, but this group of people plunged into the deep mountains of Yunnan and Guizhou and could not be found again."
“They’ve gone to the place where the dragon vein is located. We’ll just block them there,” Ye Xingchen said.
“That’s not necessarily true.” Old Ling slowly stood up and said, “The Japanese have always been cunning, and this time, after they entered Yunnan and Guizhou, they haven’t made a move since.”
“Xuanyu Pavilion has too many things to attend to, so it can’t spare the energy to fight them. This time, we still need you to take charge.”
"I do have a grudge against the Japanese, but it's not to the point of being irreconcilable," Ye Xingchen said with a smile. "Besides, this time, I don't think it's necessary to offend them to the death. What do you think?"
"You little brat, you want to negotiate with me?" Old Ling glanced at Ye Xingchen. "Speak, what do you want?"
“The Xingchen Group has grown bigger and bigger, especially after the launch of the Cancer-Dissolving Pill. It’s not just one company eyeing us anymore,” Ye Xingchen said. “Their safety is a big issue, so I thought…”
"We've already put this issue on our agenda," said Mr. Ling. "The proposal will be finalized soon, and your company's key R&D personnel and managers will receive special protection."
"Furthermore, the government will also have security departments stationed there to counter commercial espionage. Are you satisfied with this outcome?"
"Really, Elder Ling? You've thought this through so thoroughly." Ye Xingchen was both surprised and delighted; this was indeed his plan.
But before he could say anything, the other party had already considered it, which he found incredible.
"Do you know who proposed this idea?" Old Ling asked.
"Who is it?" Ye Xingchen looked up in confusion.
"Xia Jingyi," Old Ling said, "she intends to designate Xingchen Group as a key company for future development, protecting it like some important technology companies, until you grow stronger."
"It's her." Ye Xingchen's gaze became somewhat complicated; this was indeed something he hadn't expected.
"Young man, I think there are some things I can no longer hide from you." Old Ling looked up at Ye Xingchen and said, "You should know that she has a relationship with you."
Ye Xingchen didn't say anything, giving him a tacit agreement.
"You really know?" Old Ling was taken aback.
"I'm not stupid. The moment I saw her, I knew our relationship was special."
Ye Xingchen said, "And I also learned from other sources that she is my biological mother."
"Good lad, it seems I underestimated you." Old Ling nodded slightly: "When do you plan to tell her?"
"We'll talk about it later," Ye Xingchen said. "My father's ashes are still hanging in Jinluo City."
"He has been exposed to wind and rain all these years, and even in death he cannot find peace. I want to bring his ashes back so that the family can be reunited," Ye Xingchen said.
"Okay." Old Ling said, "She has suffered just as much as you have over the years, so please don't hate her."
"Hate?" Ye Xingchen laughed: "She is my biological mother, what right do I have to hate her? If anyone should hate someone, it should be the person who broke up our family."
"Alright, I wish you and your family a happy reunion in advance, but let me warn you beforehand that the city lord of Jinluo City is no ordinary person."
Old Ling said, "He is based on the western border, at the junction of several countries, a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. He makes a living by growing drugs. If you want to get there, you have to cross a rainforest."
"And this rainforest is also teeming with miasma and poisonous insects. Anyone who goes in carelessly will be poisoned and die. It is like a natural barrier."
"Isn't there anyone who wants to take over Jinluo City?" Ye Xingchen asked.
"It's not that it doesn't exist, but it's too difficult. This place is a haven for crime. Several military operations launched by a powerful country against this country have all ended in failure."
"Your father went there with the determination to destroy Jinluo City, what a pity..."
"I understand." Ye Xingchen nodded. "I will fulfill my father's unfulfilled wish."
“If you are truly ambitious, you don’t need to destroy the city; you only need to win them over.” Old Ling’s eyes lit up. He felt that Ye Xingchen was fully capable of challenging Jinluo City.
