Chapter 127: Chapter 127: The Chamber of Commerce’s Concerns _1
Qin Tianyu was even more decent, directly helping Ye Ming to open an account, and depositing all the recovered money into it. He came today specifically to inform Ye Ming of this news.
"There are too many people wanting to empower and bless jade pendants, and I haven’t reported each transaction to you, Mr. Ye, they are all recorded in this statement, please take a look."
Having said that, Qin Tianyu took out a small notebook from his pocket and handed it to Ye Ming.
Ye Ming did not show much emotion and didn’t even reach out to take it; instead, he turned to Lin Bingqing beside him and said, "From now on, you will be in charge of managing these matters."
Lin Bingqing was greatly moved by this, which showed a tremendous amount of trust in her.
Qin Tianyu and Scarface watched with a sense of sentimentality, wishing they could be like Lin Bingqing.
After explaining the accounts, Scarface and Qin Tianyu brought out some valuable items.
With Chen Bin’s death, the mighty Chen Family completely collapsed, and all of its industries fell into a leaderless state, disintegrating severely.
The countless pairs of eyes in Hai City were watching, and naturally, at this time, they would not let go of the Chen Family’s rich pickings. Scarface and Qin Tianyu competed and won some of them, all to be offered to Ye Ming.
Ye Ming was happy to accept the easy gains—if the meat came to his mouth, he wouldn’t refuse.
Likewise, he entrusted these matters to Lin Bingqing.
After the good news was shared, Scarface hesitated for a long time before finally speaking up, "Mr. Ye, I have another piece of news I’d like to share with you!"
Immediately after, Scarface shared the bad news.
It turned out that just yesterday, after the news of the Xu Family withdrawing from Hai City spread, someone had already begun to take action.
The president of the Hai City Merchant Association personally came to Scarface’s territory to talk with him, aiming to understand what exactly the Herbal Pills he sold were, the production process, and whether all the necessary documents were in order.
Anyone who knew about the Herbal Pills knew they were Ye Ming’s exclusive invention, and there was no way to reveal the production process.
"Mr. Ye, I think they are just deliberately making things difficult for us; it’s outrageous!" Scarface said indignantly.
Since the topic had been broached, Qin Tianyu, on the other side, also spoke up with some difficulty.
"Indeed, Mr. Ye, our Qin Family was also approached by them before, questioning whether the process of empowering jade pendants with magical energy had any scientific basis and if it was a scam!"
"What do you think we should do?"
Seeing the troubled expressions on both of their faces, Ye Ming expressed his understanding.
As the Qin Family was publicly known, it was natural for them to be under the control of the Merchant Association. It was normal for them to explain themselves to the association.
They didn’t dare to approach before because the immense presence of the Xu Family restrained them from taking rash actions. With the Xu Family gone, their courage had grown.
As for Scarface, it goes without saying—he wanted to rise from the underworld and naturally couldn’t avoid the Merchant Association’s control. Both men had their own difficulties.
Ye Ming expressed understanding and said, "No worries, a day like this was bound to come sooner or later, and I’ve been waiting for a long time. Let’s find an opportunity tomorrow to have a chat with them."
...
In the Xia Family’s villa at night,
Xia Ningning wore a very skimpy miniskirt, sprawled on the bed, looking at her little feet, holding her phone and video-calling.
On the other end of the video was Xu Lele, dressed in cute pajamas.
Both of them were carelessly revealing a hint of spring, not taking it seriously at all.
Xu Lele cooed, "Ningning, please help me out! I haven’t received any news from Ye Ming for so many days, I’m going crazy with worry!"
"I’ve heard that since I left, lots of people have been waiting to take Ye Ming down behind his back. Can you help me check on him, please?"
Confronted with Xu Lele’s spoiled behavior, Xia Ningning pursed her lips and said, "You’re such a fickle friend, caring only about him. Why don’t you worry about me too!"
"I haven’t been eating or sleeping well lately!"
Seeing Xia Ningning’s annoyed expression, Xu Lele burst into laughter, made a kissing face, and continued, "How could I not worry about you? I’m worried about you all the time! But now I see you’re alright!"
Xia Ningning knew that if she didn’t agree, Xu Lele would nag her to death, so she jokingly said, "Aren’t you afraid that with you not around, I might ’climb the wall’ first?"
"As the saying goes, ’guard against fire, theft, and best friends.’ With a best friend like me hovering around him, you’d better be careful!"
Xu Lele chuckled, completely unconcerned, and said, "Why would I guard against you? If all else fails, we’ll just share! After all, we made a bet before to marry Ye Ming together. You’ve already lost; you just don’t want to admit it."
Hearing this, Xia Ningning suddenly felt a jolt in her heart. She hadn’t even realized when she started to feel less antipathy toward Ye Ming, and even started to make such jokes.
Could it be...
Xia Ningning quickly shook her head, convinced she was very clear-headed and wouldn’t fall like Xu Lele had.
She said, "Alright, alright, I stayed here instead of going back to Yanjing just for you. But this is the last time I’m helping you; don’t expect it again!"
"I’ll be going back to Yanjing in a few days, too. My dad’s been nagging me constantly, calling me a daughter who never stays home."
Xu Lele was overjoyed, continuously expressing her thanks, "Ningning, you’re the best, truly a great friend. When you come back, I’ll treat you to a big meal!"
Having said that, Xu Lele ended the video call.
Xia Ningning sank into deep thought. She had a very clear grasp of Ye Ming’s movements these past few days, but she had not told Xu Lele because she wanted to see how Ye Ming would handle things.
The current dilemma was something Ye Ming had to confront. If Ye Ming were truly in danger, Xia Ningning would not stand by and do nothing.
It’s just that she hoped Ye Ming would use his brains to deal with the situation this time, instead of resorting to brute force as usual.
After all, fists can’t conquer everything. If Ye Ming still handled problems in his old reckless way, Xia Ningning would not ask any further and would head straight back to Yanjing.
...
The next morning, Scarface’s car was already parked outside the villa.
Qin Tianyu did not join Ye Ming due to instructions from Old Master Qin.
After all, his presence would have complicated things. Far from being helpful, he might have even caused more trouble.
The car eventually stopped outside a private club.
Upon entering, the club was already bustling with activity.
And there, Ye Ming encountered several familiar faces in the hall.
"Ye Ming, what are you doing here? You... I’ll take you on right now!"
A loud curse echoed through the hall.
