Chapter 555: Powerhouses that Came Out of Nowhere!
Yang Tian could not hide it anymore, noticing Ye Chen’s expression. He said immediately, “When you were away, many cultivators suddenly appeared in Tiannan!”
“I noticed that!” Ye Chen nodded lightly.
Lin Tai took over the conversation, “These people are very capable. They’re dressed rather strangely as well. We didn’t pay much attention to them at first, but someone stirred up one of my casinos last night.”
Ye Chen squinted, “Stirred up?”
“That’s right. A few of them gambled at my casino. These people kept winning and never lost. In less than two hours, they won more than 80 million yuan!”
Lin Tai’s expression was a little terrible, “At first, we thought that they had cheated, but we couldn’t find out what they did no matter what. We could only watch helplessly as they took everything the dealer had and won all the chips on the table.”
This was how it worked in casinos. As long as you failed to find how the customers cheated, you would not have an excuse to not pay up. Most importantly, the dealer was usually people from the casino. The casino would lose as much as the dealer lost.
“After they won, they laughed and left!”
Lin Tai continued, “A subordinate of mine called Ming Feng was the one who held the fort at that time. He was unwilling to give up, so he secretly sent more than ten people to follow those people in an attempt to get the money back.”
He took a deep breath in, “In the end, these people disappeared without a trace. It was as if they had disappeared from the face of the earth.”
“They were killed?” Ye Chen looked calm.
“Yes!”
Yang Tian interrupted, “The next morning, more than ten people appeared at the entrance of the casino. They happened to be the ones who disappeared. Not only did they win our money and kill our people, they even put their heads at the entrance to humiliate us.
In his fury, Tai was about to go look for them, but these people came to the casino to gamble as if nothing had happened. Tai came forward to question them, but he was heavily injured by the other party!”
Yang Tian’s face turned red when he said that, “I rushed over immediately after I received the news. However, I was still slapped and stepped on the ground by the other party and humiliated by them!”
This was a humiliation that he would never forget!
Initially, he thought that he would be considered powerful in China since he entered the cultivation world with Ye Chen. However, he was crushed by a few people who appeared out of nowhere.
“Why didn’t you tell me that?” Ye Chen said in a deep voice.
Yang Tian said while forcing a smile, “My first thought was to call you at that time. However, Tai told me that you’ve brought your daughter to the competition. I didn’t want to distract you, so hIe held myself back.”
“Eventually, they wanted us to compensate them with one billion yuan. They even said that they would give us a three-day deadline. Otherwise, they would kill us.” After saying that, Lin Tai said with a look of shame, “My lord, I’m useless!”
Yang Tian reminded him, “Today is the second day!”
“Interesting!”
Ye Chen spread his hands and moved his fingers, “Have you investigated the background of these people?”
“Yes!”
Lin Tai shook his head slightly and said, “However, we didn’t manage to find anything. These people seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. In order not to implicate Ms. Su, we dared to go overboard.”
“You guys did the right thing!”
Ye Chen’s eyes were flickering continuously, “They came to my territory to steal my money, beat my people, and even extorted me. This is getting more and more interesting!”
Lin Tai and Yang Tian were both on intermediate-stage Spirit Assembly, so dealing with ordinary Martial Dao masters was not a problem at all. Even if it was a veteran Martial Dao master, it would be possible for them to defeat him in one move.
He glanced at his daughter who had fallen asleep next to him, and a mocking smirk appeared on his lips, “Bring me there tomorrow night!”
Unbeknownst to them, a pair of eyes had been watching the car leave the airport before they disappeared.
At the Heavenly Palace’s headquarters, Guan Shanyue laughed out loud and said, “Mad Southern Ye, oh, Mad Southern Ye, you’re finally back. You didn’t waste my effort for getting you a few opponents. Don’t worry, the good show is yet to come!”
One of his subordinates could not help but ask, “Palace Master, why aren’t you going to fight him personally? Instead, you got somebody else here? You must know that these guys have always been arrogant and look down on everyone.”
“What do you know?”
Guan Shanyue grinned, “That senior brother of mine has been watching me at all times. He’s like a piece of herbal patch. Once I make a move, he will also make a move. Moreover, there is still no news of the person the Xiao family wants me to find.”
…
Ye Chen did not go to Lin Tai’s casino directly. Instead, he asked him to send him back to the Ye residence. As soon as he got out of the car, Mengmeng dashed into the house with the certificate, “Grandpa, grandma, I’m back. I even got the first prize!”
The little girl kept bragging about their experiences, which made the two old folks very happy.
Ye Chen took a look at the time and realized it was almost 6.30 p.m.. Su Yuhan was not home yet. He could not help but ask, “Father, is Yuhan still working?”
“Yuhan called earlier. She said that she went to a banquet with Youwei and will only come home later!” Ye Hai hugged little girl Mengmeng and smiled.
Ye Chen was slightly stunned, “Su Youwei? Isn’t she in Beijing? When did she come to Tiannan?”
He was not fond of his sister-in-law, Su Youwei. Therefore, he did not bring Su Youwei with him after leaving Beijing. Su Youwei knew her place, so she stayed in Beijing to improve herself. It was said that she even entered the entertainment industry. Ye Chen did not pay much attention to her since then.
“Oh, there’s a charity ball in Tiannan tonight. Youwei said that there would be many celebrities attending, so she invited Yuhan to go with her.”
Ye Hai explained, “As you know, Yuhan’s company focuses on women’s products, especially cosmetics. Therefore, she wants to use the charity ball to gain some clients.”
“Daddy, can we pick mommy up? I want to eat the scallion pancake mommy made,” Mengmeng looked at Ye Chen in anticipation after getting out of her grandpa’s embrace.
“Sure!”
Ye Chen picked her up and pinched her cheek. He said between laughter and tears, “I think it’s a lie that you want to eat scallion pancakes. I think you want to show off to mommy that you got the first prize, right? You little mischievous thing!”
…
The Dongdu Hotel was one of the few five-star hotels in Tiannan, and it was a hotel that had just opened for business. Many celebrities were invited to attend the opening ceremony, and it was said that the boss behind the hotel was a big shot in the entertainment industry.
At that moment, countless luxury cars were parked at the entrance of the hotel. Many good-looking men and women who dressed nicely, wearing sunglasses and scarves walked in.
Su Youwei, who was wearing a wine-red dress and a face mask, stood at the door and looked out from time to time as if she was waiting for someone. Perhaps because she was dressed too sexily, many female celebrities who passed by looked at her with jealousy. There were even quite a few male celebrities who took the initiative to approach her.
“What time is it already? Why isn’t my sister here yet?”
Su Youwei looked at the time. Just when she was about to make a call to ask, she saw Su Yuhan, who was wearing a beige professional office lady suit, walking in from outside.
“Sister, you’re finally here!”
Su Youwei went forward immediately and complained.
“I rushed here as soon as I was done dealing with the company’s matters. I ran into traffic, I’m sorry!”
Su Yuhan said while smiling. Subsequently, she took a few glances at her younger sister and could not help but say, “Not bad, Youwei. You’re becoming more and more like a celebrity. When are you going to be my company’s product ambassador?”
“Stop talking, sister. Come, I want you to meet someone!”
Su Youwei grabbed her hand and walked in. As she walked, she said, “Let me tell you, I know a master whose fortune-telling is very accurate. Haven’t you always wanted to have a second child? You can ask this master today. He definitely knows!”
