Chapter 626: Chapter 626: The Actions of the Wang Family
“Mr. Ye, good evening.” A group of female attendants approached as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the bar.
“Is Miss Luo here? I need to see her about something,” Ye Shikai said indifferently.
“Miss Luo is resting inside. Mr. Ye, please come with me.”
“Shiqi, are you in there?” Ye Shikai walked into the VIP room, which, besides Luo Shiqi’s own residence, was probably the place where they met the most. Technically, before they were married, it wasn’t appropriate for Ye Shikai to meet with her. However, just after dinner, Ye Shikai received a text message from Luo Shiqi, saying that there was an urgent matter to discuss, and it didn’t seem like a joke.
At this time, Luo Shiqi, dressed in black, walked out from the inner room and smiled at Ye Shikai.
“Shiqi, what did you want to see me for?” Ye Shikai sat down on a chair and began chewing on some fruit.
“Can’t I look for you if there’s nothing important?” While smoothing her hair, Luo Shiqi sat next to Ye Shikai, her eyes brimming with seductive charm. However, Ye Shikai felt a bit uneasy. What was she up to?
“Here, let me feed you fruit.” Luo Shiqi extended her fair hand, skewered a piece of honeydew melon with a toothpick, and held it to Ye Shikai’s mouth.
“Alright, alright, stop messing around,” Ye Shikai finished it in one bite, then quickly stood up. He didn’t want to do something wrong in the heat of the moment.
“Let’s talk business.”
“Jeez, see, that’s what it’s like when you get a wife—you forget all about your lover. Sigh,” Luo Shiqi huffed, “Recently, my group’s finance department has noticed some new moves from the Wang Group, which seem to be targeting Tianya, so I specifically wanted to talk to you about it.”
“Business competition is quite normal. If it’s just about this, I have ways to handle it,” Ye Shikai said lightly, as Netherworld Palace wouldn’t run out of money, would it?
“But the Wang Group rarely involves itself in industries like jade, diamond rings, high-end jewelry… Don’t you find that odd? And the timing is so coincidental, just a few days before your wedding.”
“What are you getting at?” Ye Shikai turned and asked.
“You’re not a celebrity, but Qingyu is a well-known entrepreneur in Yanjing. Do you think those people from the Wang Group wouldn’t know about your wedding?”
“Are you suggesting that the Wang Group’s actions are related to my marriage to Qingyu?” Ye Shikai asked tentatively.
“The Wang family has always been decisive and ruthless in their dealings, heavily involved in various gray industries. They are like a tiger lying in wait,” Luo Shiqi analyzed, “But they’re making these subtle moves at this particular time, which must be related to your wedding.”
Ye Shikai deeply agreed. First, such timing couldn’t be a mere coincidence, and second, the Wang Group’s recent actions were indeed suspicious.
“Could it be because they want to take advantage of these days when Qingyu is not working and off guard to catch Tianya by surprise?” Ye Shikai voiced his suspicion.
“The operation of a group is completed by the entire workforce collectively, which means, even if Su Qingyu is away for a few days, it’s unlikely there will be any major slip-ups in the group. Even important documents that can’t be dealt with promptly will be handled by Qingyu’s confidants. I remember that An Lan from Tianya Group is Qingyu’s best friend, right?”
“So what are you trying to say?” Ye Shikai was somewhat confused now. The Wang Group belonged to the Wang family, and Ye Shikai had also heard about them. There had been a shooting robbery at Shi Chengyu’s jewelry store. According to Shi Chengyu’s testimony, the mastermind behind it was this very Wang family, showing just how shady their methods could be.
But Ye Shikai and Su Qingyu never seem to have offended them, so why would they take action? It must be just for business reasons.
“Wang Family’s young master, Wang Hai, do you know this person?” Suddenly, Luo Shiqi brought up someone, and Ye Shikai suddenly perked up.
“Wang Hai, I remember this kid, I’ve raced with him at Tianshan Club before, and this kid even has murder on his mind.” Ye Shikai thought back and finally the man emerged in his mind, in his impression, Wang Hai was nothing but a spoiled rich kid.
“You even went car racing.” Luo Shiqi rolled her eyes at him, “I know about Tianshan Club, that place has always been a gathering spot for spoiled rich kids.”
“A bunch of ignorant people, they have nothing but money, of course, they love going wild.” Ye Shikai took a cigarette and said indifferently.
“This Wang Hai, once pursued Su Qingyu.” Luo Shiqi dropped this bombshell, which made Ye Shikai stunned, but then he calmed down again, about to speak when he saw Luo Shiqi with a hesitant look on her face.
“Qingyu is one of the four great beauties of Yanjing, and also the president of a corporation. The pursuit of her by prestigious families, high-ranking officials, and respected social figures has never ceased. However, some of them gave up after being rejected, but this Wang Hai, he’s the kind that shamelessly persists.” Luo Shiqi spoke filled with disdain and contempt for Wang Hai.
“When did these events occur?”
“It happened before you arrived in Yanjing.” Luo Shiqi nodded.
“I don’t care if he bothers other people, but if he bothers Qingyu, I’ll make him suffer.” Ye Shikai said coldly, his words already laden with aggression.
“Why has Qingyu never mentioned these things to me?” Ye Shikai suddenly asked.
“There are so many who pursue Qingyu, how could she possibly report every single one to you? Are you not jealous?” Luo Shiqi said with a laugh.
“Wang Hai is different, he has the backing of the Wang Family, and if he ever decides to do something reckless…”
“If he hurts Qingyu, what do you intend to do?” Luo Shiqi suddenly interrupted.
“Then there will be no more Wang Family in Yanjing.”
A sentence spoken so casually, Luo Shiqi would have regarded it as braggadocio coming from anyone else, but from Ye Shikai, it was a “kill order” – relentless and resolute until complete eradication.
“Qingyu didn’t tell you these things for her reasons; you’d best not stir up trouble.” Luo Shiqi still issued a warning. The Wang Family was not an ordinary one; they were a titan in Yanjing. If Ye Shikai really provoked them, even if he himself remained unharmed, Su Qingyu would also be troubled.
“I understand.” Ye Shikai said coldly, but whether he truly listened was a concern for Luo Shiqi.
“Right, be a little more careful recently.” Suddenly, Ye Shikai turned to Luo Shiqi.
“What’s wrong, are you worried about my safety?”
“Cough cough, a nemesis of mine from overseas has been making some moves in Huaxia recently, probably seeking revenge, I’m worried he might harm you.”
Luo Shiqi is the queen of Yanjing’s Underworld, if it were a regular vendetta, her safety wouldn’t be an issue, but Zeus is a Main God, a cultivator, and not an ordinary one at that.
