Chapter 43: Chapter 43: Good and Bad News
Fortunately, at that moment, a Maybach stopped in front of them.
After the car door opened, Qin Ming stepped out.
Seeing Tang Yu with two women hanging on his arms, he was so shocked that he doubted whether he was awake or dreaming.
"Big brother, what's going on here?"
Qin Ming was about to say something but didn't know what to say.
"What the heck is going on?"
"These two women, known in the circle for their attitude, were clinging to big brother's arm?"
Damn, since when did big brother learn to play like this?
Seeing that Qin Ming had also arrived, the two girls felt embarrassed and let go of Tang Yu.
"They are playing truth or dare,"
Tang Yu said with an embarrassed smile.
"Really?"
Qin Ming had a playful look. As a veteran in these matters, he knew what was up.
Then, concerned, he asked:
"Big brother, are you okay? I heard there was trouble at your hotel."
"It's nothing. I just sold the hotel to someone else a few days ago,"
Tang Yu replied, shaking his head.
"That's good then. Big brother, good men have good luck. Let's celebrate with a drink,"
Qin Ming said with a smile, stepping forward to hug Tang Yu. Then he noticed Su Muyue and Wang Yixue glaring at him with murderous eyes.
Both remembered the incident at the Xinghe club where Qin Ming had taken Tang Yu.
Wang Yixue made a hand gesture like slitting her throat, signaling a warning.
"If you take my little Tang Yu to that rat's nest again, I'll kill you!"
"All you flirtatious bitches, you're not allowed here. Get out!"
"Mmm!"
After warning Qin Ming with their looks, the two girls said goodbye to Tang Yu and left.
As soon as they were gone, Tang Yu sat down, took out a cigarette, lit it, and started smoking to calm himself.
Qin Ming sat next to him and said with a smile,
"Big brother, it seems you're lucky with the ladies."
"Do you think this is a good thing?"
Tang Yu replied irritably.
As a villain who wants to survive until the end, keeping a low profile is key!
Qin Ming simply laughed and said no more, clearly thinking it was a good thing.
After Tang Yu finished smoking, Qin Ming got up, visibly tired, and said,
"Big brother, if there's nothing else, I'll go rest. These days I've been exhausted, haven't slept well, and have nightmares every day."
"Alright, go rest soon,"
Tang Yu affirmed, feeling comforted.
He knew his brother had come immediately upon hearing about his problem and really appreciated it.
Just as he was about to leave, Tang Yu stopped and looked at Qin Ming with a frown, asking,
"Have you been sleeping poorly and having nightmares these days?"
"Yes, I don't know what's happening. I hope it's not kidney failure,"
Qin Ming said with a forced smile.
Tang Yu frowned and suggested,
"Try taking a trip to relax for a few days."
"Forget it, I don't feel like going out. I'd better go rest,"
Qin Ming said, waving his hand and getting into the car.
After Qin Ming left, Tang Yu returned to his car and took out another cigarette.
He already knew the reason for Qin Ming's health problems. This was part of the plot of the original book, where Qin Ming's health issue was due to something wrong with the feng shui of the Qin family's old house.
The root of the problem was a jade statue that Qin Ming had bought a week before.
The jade statue had been tampered with by Ye Chen.
After Qin Ming bought it, the feng shui of the Qin house had been severely affected, turning the area into a cursed place.
At the moment when the Qin family was in crisis, Ye Chen intervened to save them.
In the end, the Qin family worshiped and respected him greatly.
The young lady of the Qin family, Qin Kexin, also began to feel affection for him and fell deeper into his grasp.
Although this kind of plot seems a bit absurd, it's perfectly normal in urban fantasy novels.
Pretending to be cool, slapping faces, gaining influence, and attracting beauties, all at once.
As Tang Yu reflected on the plot, the system's voice suddenly sounded.
"Ding, the host has successfully survived the plot of the west division of the city."
"Reward, ancient martial technique 'Yin Yang Wuji Gong' (single-use)."
Hearing the reward, Tang Yu was stunned and immediately cursed.
"Damn system, what good is a single-use reward? Why not give me a pair of disposable chopsticks instead?"
According to the system's description, the ancient martial technique 'Yin Yang Wuji Gong', once perfected, could use the enemy's force to return the received damage double-fold.
This was definitely a good thing.
But damn it, the single-use limitation is too stupid!
"Pfft… Since the host didn't complete the plot perfectly, it attracted the hatred of Dragon King Ye Chen,"
explained the system.
Tang Yu suddenly had a black line on his face.
Of course, he wanted to complete the plot perfectly!
But damn it, the world is full of traitors!
...
After Tang Yu left, Ye Chen stayed in the office.
Bai Wanyi handcuffed him without saying a word.
In her mind, Ye Chen was no different from a criminal.
Otherwise, how could he be the boss of Long Ya?
After Ye Chen was handcuffed, his expression was calm, but he was extremely angry inside.
He was the powerful Dragon King!
Handcuffs? Wouldn't that make him a prisoner?
But thinking about his plan to woo women, he had to endure.
After so much patience, he didn't mind this time!
Originally, he thought that, based on his friendship with Bai Wanyi, the interrogation shouldn't take long.
Although he was the boss of Long Ya, the Dragon Group had nothing to do with him.
He was just the boss behind the scenes.
This also meant that even if the Mingyue Hotel had big problems, it wouldn't be his fault.
But Bai Wanyi simply refused to let him go, insisting on getting something out.
Finally, in the afternoon of the next day, a tall and dazzlingly beautiful woman came to the west division to bail him out.
After being released, Ye Chen's expression was somewhat gloomy.
He looked at the woman and said gratefully,
"Thank you, Miss He, for coming personally."
The woman who came to fetch him was He Huiyin, the eldest daughter of the He family. She was also one of the main beauties in Su Hang.
The He family in Su Hang is quite discreet, but their power is not inferior to that of the four main families!
They are a branch of the great He family of Yanqing.
Mrs. He, who was in charge of the family, had some connection with her master.
So, when he arrived in Su Hang, he immediately visited the He family and helped the lady with her health problems, so the He family owed him a favor.
In the end, such a precious favor was used in a situation that made him want to die.
"It's the least I can do,"
He Huiyin replied with a smile.
"Miss He, this time my friend was imprisoned because of this matter..."
Ye Chen looked at He Huiyin with a somewhat helpless tone, trying to ask her for help.
He was already free, but Long Ya was still inside.
"That's out of my hands. When it comes to drugs, no one can intervene. I hope Mr. Ye understands, after all, we are in China,"
He Huiyin said, shaking her head. The family had the ability, but they wouldn't get involved in something so complicated.
"Alright, I don't want to trouble Miss He. I'll think of another way and visit Mrs. He again in two days,"
Ye Chen said, knowing that the matter was quite complicated and his relationship with the He family hadn't yet reached that level of help.
"Alright, then I'll go back to the company for a meeting,"
He Huiyin waved and returned to the car to leave.
After she got in the car, she couldn't help but shake her head.
Her grandmother had said that Ye Chen was a true dragon, but she thought it was an exaggeration.
It was just a minor matter.
Seeing He Huiyin leave, Ye Chen showed a gloomy look.
"Is this woman looking down on me?"
"When I get the chance to have her under my control, I must whip her well!"
"The He family must also be taken by me, to pave the way for the conquest of Yanqing in the future!"
In the following days, Ye Chen took the people of the Dragon Group to seek contacts and ways to get Long Ya out.
Meanwhile, Long Ya, who was detained for investigation, felt that life was worse than death.
He had already had bad luck with the Mingyue Hotel incident, but now the police had also gone to his house and found hair of the woman who had died in the hotel.
After the hair was found, it made the problem even worse.
This time he was completely screwed!
Fortunately, after being detained for an entire week, Ye Chen was finally able to visit him.
Long Ya was extremely excited to know that the Dragon King would come to visit him.
"The Dragon King is truly capable of anything!"
With his help, he could definitely get out of there!
After being brought to the interview room, Long Ya shouted excitedly,
"Young Ye."
Ye Chen was sitting behind the glass in the visiting room and nodded with a smile.
"I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
"The good news first."
"I've managed to get the lawyer to request a sentence reduction."
"And the bad news?"
"After the sentence reduction, you probably still have about twenty years left."
