"Don't……"
"I'll talk!"
Optimus Prime finally chickened out.
That's just how reality is; some people have the courage to die, but not the courage to face a life worse than death.
Optimus Prime is that kind of person.
He was originally the king of the underworld, used to living a life of power and prestige.
If one suddenly becomes disabled in all four limbs and spends the rest of their life in a wheelchair, unable to even take care of themselves eating and sleeping, they will not only suffer throughout their life, but will also be ridiculed and even looked down upon by those who were once of lower status than them.
These kinds of days are worse than death.
Therefore, he had no choice but to bow down to Ye Tianyu.
"Okay, then go ahead and tell me!"
Ye Tianyu smiled dismissively and lowered his arm.
"My employers are... the Hong Group, and Fang Chenwei!"
"What?"
"The Hong Group?"
A cold glint flashed in Ye Tianyu's eyes.
He and Fang Xueqing suspected that their employer was among Jiang Ruonan, Lin Hao, and Fang Chenwei.
Fang Chenwei was among them and had no doubts.
But the other employer turned out to be the Hong Group.
Fang Xueqing immediately pressed on, "The Hong Group, is it Lin Xueyan?"
"no!"
Qingtianhu shook his head: "It's Hong Guoliang, the chairman of the Hong Group!"
"Hong Guoliang?"
Fang Xueqing's expression changed slightly: "He came from Jiangnan?"
"No!"
"He called me and then sent someone to see me!"
"That person was a man," Qingtianhu said weakly. "He told me that no one should die while I was smashing things up. Then he gave me a check for ten million dollars and went back to Binzhou!"
Ye Tianyu found it a bit strange. Lin Xueyan was the vice president of Hong's Group and was currently in Jiangnan.
Why didn't Hong Guoliang let her contact Qingtianhu directly, but instead sent someone from Binzhou instead?
We should probe Lin Xueyan about this issue when we have time.
He had another question.
He then asked coldly, "Why did Fang Chenwei also hire you? Does he have a direct relationship with the Hong Group?"
"There shouldn't be?"
Optimus Prime hesitated for a moment and said, "The Hong Group contacted me first, and then Fang Chenwei also contacted me, saying he was willing to pay five million to vandalize your restaurant and guesthouse."
“I was very surprised that two employers asked me to do the same thing at the same time.”
"However, our underground organization has always done things based on money, not people."
"Since Fang Chenwei also asked me to do this, I might as well make some extra money on the side. It's a waste not to."
"So I took his money and agreed to do it for him!"
After listening, Ye Tianyu understood that Fang Chenwei was unaware that the Hong Group had hired Optimus Prime to vandalize his restaurant and guesthouse.
He was seeking revenge out of personal grudges.
With the truth revealed, Ye Tianyu coldly said, "I'll let you go today and spare your dog's life!"
"However, you were too arrogant just now. You still have to compensate me for all my losses, as well as the medical expenses of the people injured by your men!"
Having escaped with his life, Qingtianhu was relieved. Two million was not a large sum for him, so he readily agreed and immediately transferred two million to Ye Tianyu via his mobile phone.
Fang Xueqing said from the side, "If you had listened to my suggestion and directly named your employer, I would have kept my word and you wouldn't have to pay compensation."
"But you are arrogant and conceited, and you even have dirty thoughts about me. So this two million in compensation is your punishment, do you understand?"
"Understood, I have no objections!"
Optimus Prime dared not look Fang Xueqing in the eye and said with his head down.
"Don't mess with me again. If there's a next time, it won't be as simple as just paying compensation!"
Ye Tianyu warned him a few times, then took Fang Xueqing's hand and left.
They punished Optimus Prime, received compensation, vented their anger, and also learned who the mastermind was. So, their trip wasn't in vain.
"etc!"
Suddenly, Optimus Prime ran over and stood in front of Ye Tianyu, clasping his hands in a fist salute.
"Mr. Ye, you have a great demeanor and your martial arts skills are superb. I admire you very much."
"From now on, you are my master. I and all my subordinates are willing to serve you. Whenever you need me, just ask, and I will do my best!"
Ye Tianyu was stunned.
"What do you mean by calling me master?"
Fang Xueqing's beautiful eyes flashed, and she smiled, saying, "He's been conquered by you, he treats you as his master, and from now on he'll be your subordinate!"
Ye Tianyu gave a bitter smile and shook his head repeatedly: "No, I'm not an underground organization, I don't need subordinates!"
Upon hearing this, Optimus Prime knelt down with a thud and resolutely declared, "If Master does not agree, I will remain kneeling here forever!"
"Um?"
Ye Tianyu frowned deeply: "Qingtianhu, are you trying to play dumb after getting a good deal? I let you go, and now you're trying to cheat me and force me to take you as my subordinate?"
Fang Xueqing suddenly grabbed his arm, pulled him aside, and whispered.
“Take him in. Optimus Prime is, after all, a king of the underworld. You’ll need him in the business world someday!”
"What? You support me taking him in?"
Ye Tianyu looked incredulous: "He and I are from two different worlds. What if he causes me trouble in the future?"
"You can set rules for him, treat him as his master, and then he's not allowed to do anything bad!"
Fang Xueqing said, "Trust me, I won't misjudge people. Qingtianhu is a good candidate!"
Seeing how confident Fang Xueqing was.
Ye Tianyu thought for a moment and decided that if Qingtianhu could walk the right path, it would be a good thing to take him in, as he might actually be able to use him someday.
He nodded immediately: "Okay, I'll listen to you!"
He immediately turned back to Optimus Prime's side and said calmly.
"Alright! I'll accept you."
"But there's one condition: you're not allowed to bully the weak, and you're not allowed to take money from others to do things for them. Can you do that?"
Optimus Prime was overjoyed and stood up, saying confidently.
"Master, rest assured, I swear I will never do anything evil or crooked again!"
After saying that, he turned around and shouted sternly at the more than one hundred men in black.
"All of you, come forward and greet your master!"
At the command, a hundred men in black rushed forward, knelt on the ground, and shouted in unison.
"Your subordinate greets your master!"
"puff!"
Ye Tianyu was both amused and exasperated, as he had inexplicably gained over a hundred subordinates.
He was not used to being worshipped and waved his hand.
"Alright, get up, I don't like this kind of thing."
After saying that, he asked for Qingtianhu's phone number, and then took Fang Xueqing's hand and left.
On the way, Ye Tianyu said with a bitter expression, "I originally came to settle accounts with Qingtianhu and demand an explanation, but I never expected that he would end up as my subordinate. Isn't that ridiculous?"
"A little!"
Fang Xueqing smiled and said, "I didn't expect this either, but it's really a good thing. Now that you've subdued the Sky Tiger, you'll soon become a big shot!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Tianyu smiled but did not reply.
When they returned to Fang Xueqing's private villa, it was already past six o'clock in the evening. Fang Xueqing invited him to have dinner with her.
After finishing his meal, Ye Tianyu lay down on the sofa to rest. He had traveled hundreds of kilometers to and from Fulang Mountain that day, and he felt a little tired.
"Tianyu, aren't you going back?"
Fang Xueqing stepped forward and said, "Your restaurant and guesthouse will be renovated tomorrow, so don't stay up too late!"
"I'm not going home tonight!"
Ye Tianyu suddenly sat up and pulled her into his arms...
