"I bet if I don't say a word today, no one will dare to leave." Huang Qi sneered, glancing triumphantly at Ye Xingchen with a provocative look in his eyes.
Ye Xingchen really didn't have time to waste words with him. He stared at Huang Qi, ready to slap him away.
Then I thought again, what's wrong with teaching this kid a lesson? He's already committed enough murders, this little thing isn't enough to warrant killing him. Otherwise, he'd become a bloodthirsty monster.
But even if we teach this kid a lesson today, it won't help. He'll still cause trouble for Lao Zhou later.
Old Zhou is an honest and law-abiding man. If Huang Qi really comes back to cause trouble, he won't be able to handle it at all.
He turned to Xie Ya: "You're from the Xie family of the Australian Peninsula, right? What's your name?"
Xie Ya glanced at Ye Xingchen but ignored her, haughtily putting on her sunglasses.
Not just anyone is qualified to answer her questions; that's the Xie family's strength and influence.
Ye Xingchen didn't care; even if she didn't say anything, her identity could be confirmed.
He picked up his phone and dialed a number. This number was from Macau and belonged to the gambling tycoon Zhou Bingchen.
Ye Xingchen had saved Zhou Bingchen's life. The reason why the Xie family became the richest family in Macau was because of their inextricable relationship with the gambling king Zhou Bingchen.
The phone rang only a few times before Zhou Bingchen's respectful voice came through: "Mr. Ye? Is that you?"
Zhou Bingchen usually doesn't answer the phone himself; his secretary usually does. But he didn't dare to neglect Ye Xingchen's call, so he answered it himself.
"Mr. Zhou, I apologize for bothering you, but there's something I need to confirm with you. What is your relationship with the Xie family of Macau?" Ye Xingchen asked.
"Xie Yuqing, the richest man in Macau, is my son-in-law." Zhou Bingchen asked with some confusion, "What's wrong?"
"That's right. There's a little girl surnamed Xie, she must be your granddaughter. What's her name?"
"My granddaughter? Xie Ya, she went to the mainland. Does Mr. Ye know her?" Zhou Bingchen's heart skipped a beat.
"She's right here beside me. Why don't you, Elder Zhou, talk to her yourself?" Ye Xingchen said calmly, turning to Xie Ya: "Xie Ya?"
"How do you know my name?" Xie Ya frowned.
She only said her surname was Xie when she came here, but she never said her name. How did Ye Xingchen know that?
"Answer the phone." Ye Xingchen held out his hand.
"Whose call was that?" Xie Ya asked, somewhat puzzled.
"It's your maternal grandfather, Zhou Bingchen, on the phone," Ye Xingchen said casually.
"You know my grandfather?" Xie Ya was taken aback; she instinctively couldn't believe it was true.
“That’s right, I know the old gambling king from the Australian Peninsula. This is his phone call right now. Are you going to answer it or not?” Ye Xingchen smiled.
"Don't believe Miss Xie, she's just talking nonsense." Huang Qi looked unconvinced: "Who is he? What kind of person is Zhou the Gambling King? How could he possibly know him?"
"Take the call, what if it's true?" Ye Xingchen said, looking at Xie Ya, whose expression was uncertain.
“Miss…” Liu Shanhe spoke up from the side: “I see that this person has a dignified appearance and an extraordinary demeanor. Moreover, even I cannot clearly see the number nine in his destiny palace. I think what he said may be true.”
Xie Ya hesitated for a moment, then took the phone from Ye Xingchen and held it to her ear: "Hello."
"Xiaoya?" Zhou Bingchen's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Grandpa, is it really you?" Xie Ya was surprised. "You really know him?"
"You're in the mainland now, right? Listen to me, the young man standing in front of you is called Ye Xingchen. He's the expert I mentioned to you before."
Zhou Bingchen said, "Even if we find the medicinal ingredient, it might not be of any use to your grandfather. So whether he can live or not depends on the young man in front of him."
"The person you told me to visit, is it him?" Xie Ya was taken aback. She couldn't help but look at Ye Xingchen, her gaze already changed.
Her grandfather suffered from a strange illness, and despite seeking out many famous doctors, he could not be saved. Later, he found Liu Shanhe and learned that it was a serious illness caused by karma, and that only by finding a certain medicinal ingredient could it be cured.
Before leaving, her grandfather gave her a contact number, saying that she was his savior and her name was Ye Xingchen.
After finding the medicinal ingredient, she must visit Ye Xingchen. If possible, it would be best to ask him to go to the Australian Peninsula, because as long as he takes action, there is no problem that cannot be solved.
“That’s right, I don’t know what happened between you, but now you must apologize to him immediately.” Zhou Bingchen said seriously, “If we can befriend such a master, it will be of great benefit to both the Xie family and the Zhou family.”
"I understand, Grandpa. I know what to do." Xie Ya composed herself and handed the phone back to Ye Xingchen.
“Mr. Ye, my granddaughter is a bit arrogant, but she is kind-hearted. She went to China this time because of her grandfather’s illness.” Zhou Bingchen said, “If there is any reason, I will apologize to you on her behalf.”
"It's alright, Elder Zhou, it's just a misunderstanding. I'm not that petty. It's just that I have some urgent matters to attend to right now, and I can't delay," Ye Xingchen said calmly.
"Alright, then I won't bother Mr. Ye any longer," Zhou Bingchen said quickly.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Xingchen turned to his head and said, "Brother Zhou, let's go."
“Okay, okay…” Old Zhou nodded quickly.
"Ye, Ye Xingchen." Xie Ya quickly called out to him. Her tone was no longer as arrogant and cold as before, but carried a hint of gentleness. Her voice was melodious and pleasant to hear.
She was a local singer with a beautiful voice, but she seemed aloof and spoke coldly in front of strangers.
"What's up?" Ye Xingchen turned his head and asked.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know who you were. I apologize for what happened before; I was wrong," Xie Ya said earnestly. "My grandfather's illness is very serious, and we need to go to Wild Boar Ridge to find a medicinal ingredient, so... can we go together?"
Huang Qi was dumbfounded. Just who was Ye Xingchen? How could a single phone call cause such a change in the attitude of this young lady from the Xie family?
You should know that he had been trying to please her the whole way, but the young lady of the Xie family had always been cold and indifferent.
Huang Qi was also helpless, after all, the Xie family in Macau was a status and position that he could not even dream of.
But how could Ye Xingchen's single phone call make the high and mighty Miss Xie bow her head and apologize? Just who is he?
"Where are you going?" Ye Xingchen asked.
"The Turbid Dragon Pool is a dangerous place. The medicinal ingredient we're looking for is very special," Liu Shanhe said hurriedly.
"Tanlongtan? We're going to the same place. If you're okay with it, let's go together." Ye Xingchen was slightly taken aback.
"Okay, okay..." Xie Ya nodded quickly, and she called to the bodyguards to join her.
