29: Chapter 29 It’s You 29: Chapter 29 It’s You Ye Shikai knows these underworld societies all too well. Do they reason with you? Strip away the veneer of civilized society, and it’s still survival of the fittest, a society where might makes right. That’s why he couldn’t be bothered to waste words with them. He’d just barge in, take the money, and finish the job sooner. “Kid, are you looking for death?” A bulky man suddenly charged out from a corner, holding a stool, and aimed it straight at Ye Shikai’s head. Confronted with the sudden attack, Ye Shikai snorted coldly, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, his body remained still. As the stool was about to hit Ye Shikai’s head, being just ten centimeters away, in an instant, Ye Shikai disappeared on the spot, leaving everyone on the scene with their eyes widened like saucers. “Too slow,” Ye Shikai suddenly reappeared behind the bulky man, said contemptuously, clenched his fist, and struck out suddenly, shattering the stool and heading for the man’s chest. With a “bang”, the man was sent flying for a few meters, crashing straight into the wall, with blood slowly dripping from his head. “Who else wants a go? Come at me.” Ye Shikai nonchalantly picked a chair to sit on and took a deep drag of a cigarette, speaking indifferently. The people around were stunned; they were underworld folks used to bullying others, not being bullied. Moreover, this man’s fighting power... was terrifying. They hadn’t heard about any new figure emerging in the underworld. Could it actually be a case of infighting? The noise in the office was loud, and soon, dozens of people burst in, armed with iron rods and machetes, clearly thugs. Seeing the fallen bulky man and then spotting Ye Shikai sitting nonchalantly on the chair, they quickly understood the situation. Without a word, they charged at him. Ye Shikai flicked his cigarette butt gently, tracing a perfect arc that hit one of the thugs precisely between the eyebrows. At the same time, his body moved with such speed that only a blur remained. Like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, he knocked down everyone in seconds. A man who looked like a leader watched, agape. It didn’t take long for him to realize Ye Shikai was no ordinary man. With a smile, he said, “Brother, I am the general manager of New City Group. May I know what brings you here?” Ye Shikai looked the man over, a look of disdain on his face. “So you are the general manager. Well then, this should be easy. Your group owes us ten million. Here’s the IOU, go get the money,” he said, handing over the IOU to the manager. “Brother, it’s not like we intentionally delayed the payment of the ten million. It’s just that the company’s funds have been tight recently. Could you give us some time?” Ye Shikai snorted coldly, typical evasive diplomatic nonsense. He had anticipated this attitude—clearly indicating they wouldn’t pay the money, even if it cost them their lives. “I don’t want to engage in pointless talk. You’ll pay today, one way or another.” Ye Shikai raised his hand and forcefully smacked a nearby chair, which instantly broke into pieces. Seeing this, the manager’s face couldn’t hold the facade anymore, his displeasure evident. At that moment, a female secretary walked over and whispered a few words into the manager’s ear. His sorrow soon turned to joy as he said to Ye Shikai, “Brother, don’t bite the hand that feeds you. Do you know who owns New City Group? If you provoke our boss, you’ll be thrown into the river to feed the fishes tomorrow.” Ye Shikai was puzzled about what the secretary had told the manager to make him so confident. And who was their boss, having so much power? “I don’t care who your boss is. If you don’t give me the money today, I’ll dismantle your company, believe it or not.” Anyone can make threats, but if it comes to martial force, I could take down this building. The manager was about to speak when suddenly the phone on the desk rang. Glancing at the caller ID, a flicker of panic crossed his face. He hurriedly answered the call, and the person on the other end said, “The boss is coming, get ready.” “Kid, you better leave now, otherwise once my boss gets here, you’re dead for sure,” the manager said with a smirk. However, Ye Shikai was not afraid. On the battlefield, where dangers lurk, he could remain calm and composed, not to mention here. No matter who that boss is, he was ready to face it head-on. “Then I’ll just sit here and wait. If you don’t give me the money, I’ll ask your boss for it,” Ye Shikai said nonchalantly. “You...” the manager started to say something but then stopped short, thinking that Ye Shikai was digging his own grave. At this moment, below the New City Group building, four Land Rovers surrounded a Maybach in the middle, slowly stopping at the entrance of New City Group. From the four Land Rovers, about twenty men in black suits disembarked. One of them slowly walked to the Maybach, opened the door, and a pale, delicate leg appeared, followed by an extraordinarily beautiful woman stepping out of the car, wearing a deep red dress and fiery red lips, her sultry body exuding a charming aura, an absolute enthralling beauty. Ye Shikai sat in his chair, calm and composed. In his view, even if this boss was the king of heaven, he was determined to get the money. At that moment, a “click” sound was heard as the door was slowly opened. Was this boss finally arriving? Ye Shikai slowly turned his head and locked eyes with the woman entering the door. A few seconds later, Ye Shikai slowly opened his mouth, his face filled with astonishment. The so-called boss was actually her. A hint of surprise also flashed across the woman’s face, but she quickly recovered and smiled slightly at Ye Shikai, saying, “Handsome, we meet again. Do you still want to drink that ‘Forget Sorrow’ from last time?” Indeed, this woman was the beauty who had mixed drinks for Ye Shikai at the Dark Night Bar. Ye Shikai was shocked; she was just a bartender, so how could she be the mastermind behind New City Group? What he didn’t know was that this woman before him was also the Underground Queen of Yanjing, ruling over the entire underworld of Yanjing with many money-laundering businesses under her control, and New City Group was one of them. “Let me introduce myself first. My name is Luo Shiqi, the mastermind behind New City Group. I heard that you came to my company, what can I do for you?” Ye Shikai had recovered from his shock and recounted the issue with the debt. Luo Shiqi smiled slightly, pulled out a blank check from her bag, scribbled something on it, and handed it to Ye Shikai. “This is a check for twenty million, ten million for the debt, and another ten million as compensation for you. From now on, we are friends.” Ye Shikai took the check and said flatly, “Thank you. I accept your friendship.” After saying that, he headed towards the door. “As a friend, won’t you even tell me your name?” Luo Shiqi asked with a hint of resentment, her demeanor becoming even more alluring. Ye Shikai stopped, not turning his head, and said, “My name is Ye Shikai.” Watching Ye Shikai’s figure gradually disappearing downstairs through the window, Luo Shiqi’s lips slowly curled into a smile, murmuring, “We will meet again.”
