36: Chapter 36: Funds 36: Chapter 36: Funds Yes, every woman longs for a man who can shield her from the wind and rain, and she just has to be the little woman behind him. No woman is born wanting to be a strong independent woman. Even the strongest people have their breaking points, and Su Qingyu is now teetering on the edge of hers. Ye Shikai also feels very pained, seeing his own woman facing such great pressure, no man would not feel distressed. “Don’t worry, I will help you.” Ye Shikai gently massaged Su Qingyu’s temples, speaking softly. “En, I still have some documents to process, you should go out first.” A flash of relief crossed Su Qingyu’s face, but her expression remained grave. She knew that Ye Shikai was trying to comfort her, how could an ordinary person possibly help her resolve the company’s crisis, but her heart still felt a bit of relief, after all, care and comfort are really needed during such times. Ye Shikai let out a soft sigh and silently left the office. In fact, if we’re talking about the financial resources of Netherworld Palace, he could absolutely make it onto the world billionaires list, but this would inevitably involve revealing his identity. Ye Shikai didn’t want Su Qingyu to know any of this, so he would rather be seen as a man who lived off a woman than openly return to his country with the high-profile status of a world billionaire. But now the company was in serious trouble, and from Su Qingyu’s tone, he knew this trouble could be catastrophic. Ye Shikai went back to the PR department and entered the men’s restroom. Since there were almost no male colleagues in the PR department, the men’s restroom was generally empty. Ye Shikai lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and pulled out his phone to dial a number. “Hello, Boss.” Just a few seconds later, the call connected, resonating with a magnetic voice. “Ghost, I need you to do something for me.” Ye Shikai got straight to the point, and indeed, the person on the other end of the phone was one of the four warlords of Netherworld Palace, Ghost. “Just give your order, Boss.” “Transfer ten billion into my account in Huaxia.” “No problem, it’ll be transferred to your account in ten minutes, hehe, Boss, are you looking for women behind your wife’s back? You’re asking for so much money all at once.” Ghost was known in Netherworld Palace for his teasing, and when Ye Shikai suddenly asked for so much money, of course he’d make a joke. But as one of the four most trusted warlords of Netherworld Palace, Ghost would follow Ye Shikai’s commands unconditionally. Even if Ye Shikai asked him to transfer all of Netherworld Palace’s money to Huaxia, he would do it immediately. “Get lost; it’s my sister-in-law’s company that’s in trouble, urgently in need of funds.” “What, sister-in-law’s company is in trouble? Is ten billion enough? If not, I’ll transfer another ten billion.” Hearing that Su Qingyu’s company was in trouble, Ghost got anxious too. “Ten billion should be enough. I suspect someone is deliberately targeting your sister-in-law’s company. Help me investigate.” “Okay, I really want to see who dares to mess with sister-in-law. I’ll take his life.” Ghost promised fervently, in his eyes, Ye Shikai and Su Qingyu were his untouchables, whoever touched them would die. “And there’s one more thing. Today, in a mall in Yanjing, there was a shooting. A group of assassins tried to kill a woman named Luo Shiqi. Help me look into these people’s backgrounds.” Ye Shikai always felt that today’s group of assassins was extraordinary—their boldness to open fire in the commercial district of Yanjing suggested that they could very likely be mercenaries or assassins from overseas. “What? Who dares to be so audacious? Boss, rest assured, I’ll immediately investigate and clarify this matter.” “Alright, I’m hanging up now.” Ye Shikai instructed Ghost a few sentences and then hung up the phone. When he returned to the PR department, Ye Shikai’s phone received a transfer notification from Ghost. The entire one billion was transferred to his Centurion Black Gold Card. Ye Shikai breathed a sigh of relief; he was extremely clear about what Tianya Group meant to Su Qingyu. Su Qingyu was only 25 this year, the age when a girl’s youth blossoms, but what Su Qingyu faced was the pressure of work and the cutthroat business world, and all that she had contributed was for the sake of the group, wasn’t it? Even though the money had arrived, another problem had occurred. How should he give the one billion to Su Qingyu? Should he walk up to Su Qingyu, flash a Black Gold Card, and then lift her chin and say, “Wifey, here’s one billion for you, smile for Master”? This was definitely seeking death! And by doing so, his identity would be revealed. Ye Shikai had a helpless expression. He had the money but couldn’t pay it out. What kind of situation was this? One billion was an astronomical figure to an ordinary person. Even the market value of Tianya Group was just over ten billion. Suddenly, a person emerged in his mind. That’s right, as long as she could help him, then this one billion could definitely be spent entirely on Tianya Group, and even Su Qingyu wouldn’t suspect him. Yes, this person was the Queen of Yanjing’s Underworld—Luo Shiqi. Thinking this, Ye Shikai suddenly hesitated. He always felt Luo Shiqi was mysterious, and both Su Qingyu and An Lan had warned him not to associate with her. Even now, Ye Shikai wasn’t clear why Luo Shiqi had confessed to him... But the mere thought of Su Qingyu’s haggard and helpless appearance made Ye Shikai’s heart ache. After struggling for a few minutes, Ye Shikai still dialed Luo Shiqi’s number. “Hey, are you free tonight? I need a favor from you.” “Wow, you’re actually reaching out to me. Is it because you rescued me today that you want Big Sister to compensate you?” A sultry, bone-melting voice came from the other end of the phone. “I’m not joking with you; I really need your help.” “Alright, tonight at 7 o’clock, come to Dark Night Bar. Just to be clear, if you want to do ‘that kind of thing,’ Big Sister is quite willing too.” Before Luo Shiqi could finish her sentence, Ye Shikai hung up the phone, his face lined with frustration. Does Luo Shiqi even have anything proper to do? He couldn’t understand how she managed to become the Underground Queen. On the other side of the line, an displeased Luo Shiqi muttered, “Daring to hang up on my phone call, I’ll make you pay tonight.” At 7 o’clock in the evening, though the nightlife of Yanjing hadn’t begun yet, Dark Night Bar was still exceptionally bustling. Many urban white-collar workers, after enduring a high-pressure day at work, would come here to unwind and release their stress. Ye Shikai sat alone at a booth upstairs, took a gulp of beer, and watched the flow of people downstairs. “You arrived very early today; it seems you have an urgent matter for Big Sister, huh.” Suddenly, Luo Shiqi sat beside him, wearing a fiery red trench coat and a pair of big red high-heeled shoes. It seemed she had a particular fondness for the color red. “I want to ask for your help. If you help me, I’ll owe you a favor.” If there’s one thing that’s the hardest to repay in the world, it’s not money but a favor. Money can solve trivial matters; overseas, numerous people would be willing to pay just for a favor from the Netherworld King, as it’s worth more than gold. “I don’t want your favor; I want you to promise me something.” Luo Shiqi looked at Ye Shikai with a teasing smile, making him feel quite uncomfortable. “What is it?” Luo Shiqi leaned towards Ye Shikai and whispered in his ear, “I want you... to kiss me.”
