Chapter 165: Chapter 165: The Banquet Ends, Crisis Approaches"Fine, I agree. Ye Xuan will act as the representative of the Eastern Group and sign the contract with the Liu Group," Lin Tong hesitated for a moment then decisively declared. The opportunity to cooperate with the Liu Group was a once-in-a-lifetime chance, and the Eastern Group had to seize it. Although she didn’t understand why Liu Ying specifically requested Ye Xuan, for the future development of the company, she could only agree. "Great, let Ye Xuan come to Liu Group tomorrow, and we can further discuss the matters of cooperation." "Agreed." Seeing this scene, everyone’s expressions were filled with envy. Collaborating with the Liu Group was something countless business moguls dreamed of. Suddenly, the wealthy merchants and high-society ladies at the event congratulated Ye Xuan and Lin Tong, surrounding them with well-wishes, saying Eastern Group’s favor by the Liu Group was indeed something to celebrate, expressing their willingness to collaborate with the Eastern Group. As the CEO of Eastern Group, Lin Tong displayed the poise of a powerful businesswoman, responding to everyone with a smile, her elegant demeanor earning her much praise. Even some rich young heiresses had their eyes set on Ye Xuan, watching him intently. This man was not only handsome but also young and wealthy, casually able to present items worth millions of Federation Coins, naturally drawing their interest. Some particularly bold young ladies even approached to ask for Ye Xuan’s contact details, planning a fling with him to deepen their connection! Of course, Ye Xuan couldn’t give them his contact information, especially with his wife nearby. So he could only politely decline, leaving quite a few of the girls disheartened. Song Shaopeng saw that in the entire banquet hall, Ye Xuan and Lin Tong had become the center of attention. His intention to humiliate them had backfired, making Ye Xuan shine instead. He was so frustrated it felt like he was about to cough up blood, feeling extremely aggrieved! At this moment, his infuriation could have set the Pacific Ocean ablaze, but under these circumstances, he could only watch helplessly. ... The banquet concluded with Ye Xuan and Lin Tong as its protagonists, not only gaining the goodwill of many business magnates but also winning the opportunity to collaborate with the Liu Group. Even Liu Ying, the host of the banquet, had become merely a supporting character, let alone Song Shaopeng, who was no longer on anyone’s mind. After the banquet ended, everyone gradually left. Ye Xuan and Lin Tong also left the banquet hall. Just as they reached the entrance, someone suddenly called out to Ye Xuan. Turning around, he saw Xie Fenglin approaching with excitement. "Xie Fenglin, what can I do for you?" Ye Xuan asked with a smile. "Ye Xuan, I’d like to become friends with you. What do you say?" Xie Fenglin stretched out his hand, grinning broadly. Ye Xuan had a good impression of Xie Fenglin. His character seemed far superior to that of his brother, and he was quite upright, having helped him earlier, so Ye Xuan didn’t mind making such a friend. "We are already friends, aren’t we?" Ye Xuan smiled faintly and extended his hand, shaking hands with Xie Fenglin. He noted the other’s skin was very smooth and tender, just like a woman’s. Xie Fenglin really took good care of himself. "Ha ha, right, we are already friends." Xie Fenglin laughed too. Ye Xuan was the only one who hadn’t mocked him since he had acquired his hidden illness. He truly wanted to become genuine friends. "By the way, Xie Fenglin, give me your contact information." Ye Xuan approached Xie Fenglin and suddenly spoke up. He had heard that Xie Fenglin had a hidden illness, and since they were friends, he thought he might be able to help him get treated. "My mobile number is 139xxxxxxxxx." Xie Fenglin gave his mobile number to Ye Xuan, his face alight with excitement: "Ye Xuan, I didn’t expect you to have such a trump card up your sleeve, even able to present a valuable Mo-Tan fragrance worth millions. You should have seen how white Shaopeng’s face turned from anger." To have defeated Shaopeng, one of the Four Young Masters of the East Sea, at the charity auction was, in his eyes, quite an impressive feat. "Xie Fenglin, my mobile number is 182xxxxxxxx. Remember it." Ye Xuan gave a slight smile, stepping forward to whisper in his ear: "Xie Fenglin, call me when you have time, and we can meet somewhere. I might have a way to cure your hidden illness." He knew Xie Fenglin was sensitive about this matter, so after speaking, he patted him on the shoulder. "Can you really cure me?" Xie Fenglin looked at Ye Xuan with a face full of surprise. He had once been emotionally hurt, which led to his impotence and a chronic illness—his "little brother" could never stand up again, and his status in the family fell drastically. Xie Fenglin had always been troubled by this, and he had seen many doctors but was diagnosed with a complex and difficult disease, very unlikely to heal on its own. Over time, even he had become despondent, thinking that he would never be able to be a man for his whole life! Now, Ye Xuan said he could cure his secret ailment, how could he not be shocked beyond measure? "Don’t worry, I am the Divine Doctor. I can’t guarantee a hundred percent recovery, but making you a man again is no problem." Ye Xuan smiled slightly, speaking with full confidence. He never cared about status or position when making friends; since he had recognized Xie Fenglin, he naturally didn’t mind giving him a hand. "Alright, when I have time, I will definitely call you." Xie Fenglin took a deep breath and nodded earnestly. Although he wasn’t sure about Ye Xuan’s medical technique, the fact that Ye Xuan had previously seen through Zhang Zhaokun and others’ illnesses made him a bit more confident in Ye Xuan. So, he decided to let Ye Xuan give it a try, maybe, just maybe, he really could be cured? After saying goodbye to Xie Fenglin, Ye Xuan and Lin Tong headed towards the Maserati. Lin Tong was wearing a skirt and high heels, which were inconvenient for driving, so it was still Ye Xuan sitting in the driver’s seat. Vroom vroom... The Maserati roared, tracing a dazzling arc as it sped back the way they had come. In the passenger seat. Lin Tong frowned slightly, her beautiful face taut. It was clear to anyone that this woman was not in a good mood. "Wife, what’s wrong? Are you unhappy?" While driving, Ye Xuan glanced at Lin Tong through the rearview mirror and asked cautiously. When outside, he would call her CEO, but now that it was just the two of them in the car, of course, he would call her wife. "Ye Xuan, don’t tell me there’s nothing between you and that woman. How do you know each other?" Lin Tong asked calmly. "We have no relationship, and I told you, my relationship with her is very pure." "Very pure? Then why does she want to help us, and give you the Liu Group’s diamond Black Gold Card? Even the things you bought for me were bought by her?" "So, wife, are you jealous?" Ye Xuan felt amused inside. This woman, she was clearly boiling with jealousy! The bracelet I bought for her was purchased by Liu Ying, which is why my wife is unhappy, and now she is pressing me for answers. "That bracelet is yours, you can give it to whomever you like," Lin Tong said with a cold face. "Wife, we also made forty million Federation Coins, not a bad deal. I’ll buy you a better one next time," Ye Xuan said with a smile. "From now on, you are not allowed to give gifts to other women, do you hear me?" Lin Tong shot Ye Xuan a sharp glance, saying imperiously. "Okay, I’ll listen to my wife." It was already ten o’clock at night, and there were few people on the streets, so Ye Xuan naturally sped up. Soon, the car entered a relatively desolate highway. The area was eerily silent and pitch black, with only the Maserati’s twin headlights piercing the night’s calm, illuminating the road ahead. "Hm?" Suddenly, Ye Xuan’s gaze sharpened as he spotted a van in front, blocking the middle of the road. The road was already narrow, and with the van positioned in such a way, no car could pass through—clearly, the others were deliberately blocking the way. "Quickly honk the horn, tell them to move aside," Lin Tong said. "It’s no use, they’ve set up ambush here on purpose, waiting for us to fall into their trap." Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes and slowed down the car, approaching cautiously. As the Maserati drew near, the van’s door opened, and from inside, seven or eight people rushed out, completely surrounding Ye Xuan’s car.
