Good News and Bad News

Just then, a Maybach pulled up in front of them and stopped.

As the car door opened, Qin Ming stepped out.

He was surprised to see Tang Yu being held by the arms by two women.

His face showed utter bewilderment, wondering if he was still half asleep.

"Damn, big bro, what's this...?"

Qin Ming hesitated, puzzled by the bizarre situation.

Su Muyue and Wang Yixue, two famously proud beauties in the circle, were both clinging to big bro's arm?

Damn, big bro, when did you become such a player?

Seeing Qin Ming had arrived.

The two women, feeling a bit embarrassed, simultaneously let go of Tang Yu.

"They were playing Truth or Dare,"

Tang Yu explained with an awkward smile.

"Really?" Qin Ming looked amused, knowing all too well these games as a veteran of romantic escapades.

Then he asked with concern, "Big bro, are you alright? I heard there was trouble at your hotel."

"It's fine, I just sold the hotel a few days ago."

Tang Yu shook his head.

"That's good then, a lucky man has his own heavenly protection, let's go drink to celebrate."

Qin Ming came over with a grin, wrapping his arm around Tang Yu, then noticed Su Muyue and Wang Yixue staring daggers at him.

They still remembered the last time he took Tang Yu to the Starriver Club.

Wang Yixue made a throat-slitting gesture as a warning.

If he dared to bring their little Tang Yu to such a den again, she'd make sure to end him!

Vile temptress, all of you, get lost!

Hmph!

After giving Qin Ming a stern look with their eyes, the two women greeted Tang Yu and left.

Once they were gone, Tang Yu quickly pulled out a cigarette to calm his nerves.

Qin Ming chuckled and squatted beside Tang Yu, "Big bro, you're quite the ladies' man."

"You think this is a good thing?" Tang Yu replied irritably.

As a villain who just wanted to quietly survive to the end of the story, keeping a low profile was the way to go!

Qin Ming just chuckled and said nothing, obviously thinking it was indeed a good thing.

After Tang Yu finished his cigarette, Qin Ming stood up, looking tired.

"Big bro, if there's nothing else, I'll head back to rest? Let's drink another time, I've been too tired lately, not sleeping well and having nightmares."

"Sure, go get some rest."

Tang Yu nodded, feeling a warm sense of brotherhood.

Knowing he came over as soon as he heard about the incident showed true friendship.

Just as he was about to leave, Tang Yu suddenly stopped and turned back to Qin Ming with a frown.

"You've been sleeping poorly and having nightmares?"

"Yeah, I don't know what's up, hope it's not kidney failure," Qin Ming replied with a wry smile.

Tang Yu's frown deepened, "Maybe take a few days off to travel and relax."

"Forget it, too lazy to go out, I'm heading back to rest."

Qin Ming waved his hand and got into the car.

After Qin Ming left, Tang Yu got back into the car and lit another cigarette.

He already knew the reason for Qin Ming's ill health.

It was a plot from the original story involving the Qin family; Qin Ming's discomfort was due to the feng shui issues at the old Qin family house.

And the root of the problem was a jade Buddha that Qin Ming had bought a week ago.

The jade Buddha had been tampered with by Ye Chen.

After Qin Ming made his purchase, the feng shui of the Qin family was greatly affected. What was once a land of geomantic treasure turned into a place of ominous energy.

In the midst of the Qin family's crisis, Ye Chen stepped in to help.

Eventually, the Qin family revered him like a deity, showing him utmost respect.

Qin Kexin, the eldest daughter of the Qin family, also developed a fondness for him, gradually falling into his hands.

This plot, though it seems a bit nonsensical.

But it's nothing out of the ordinary in urban thrillers.

Showing off, slapping faces, gathering forces, collecting beauties, getting rewards until your hands are full.

Just as Tang Yu was recalling the plot.

Suddenly, the system's voice rang out.

"Ding, the host has successfully survived the drama at the West City Branch."

"Reward: Mastery of the Yin-Yang Ultimate Technique (usable once)."

Hearing the reward, Tang Yu was stunned and immediately cursed.

"Damn system, what's the use of giving something that's only usable once? Why not give me a disposable chopstick?"

According to the system, mastering the Yin-Yang Ultimate Technique allows one to use the force against the attacker, returning the damage received back to the attacker twofold.

This is definitely top-notch stuff.

But damn, the one-time restriction is really annoying!

"Pfft... because the host didn't perfectly survive the plot, you've drawn the ire of the Dragon King, Ye Chen."

The system explained.

Tang Yu was immediately frustrated.

I did want to perfectly survive it.

But damn, the whole world is full of traitors!

...

After Tang Yu left, Ye Chen was left in the office.

Bai Wanyi thoughtfully put handcuffs on him.

In her heart, Ye Chen was no different from a criminal.

Otherwise, why would he be the boss of Dragon Fang?

After being handcuffed, Ye Chen remained calm but was extremely angry inside.

He was, after all, the Dragon King!

Handcuffs? That made him a prisoner!

But thinking about his plans to woo women, he had to endure.

He had endured for so many years, what's one more moment?

He had thought that, given his relationship with Bai Wanyi, doing some paperwork wouldn't take long.

Although he said he was the boss of Dragon Fang, the Dragon Morning Group had nothing to do with him!

He was just the man behind the curtain!

This also meant that even if there were major issues at the Moonlight Hotel, it couldn't be blamed on him.

But Bai Wanyi just wouldn't let him go, insisting on getting something out of him!

They were at a standoff until the next day at noon, when a stunningly beautiful woman with a tall figure came to the West City Branch and got him out.

After being released, Ye Chen's face was somewhat gloomy.

He looked at the tall beauty and gratefully said.

"Miss He Huiyin, thank you for making the trip."

The beautiful woman who came to get him was He Huiyin, the eldest daughter of the He family in Su Hang, also a renowned beauty.

The He family in Su Hang was quite low-key, but their strength was no less than the four major families!

They were a branch of the Yanjing He family.

The head of the family, Old Lady He, had some connections with his master.

So after coming to Su Hang, he visited the He family first and even treated Old Lady He, owing him a favor.

And such a precious favor was used in such a crappy place.

It made him want to die.

"As it should be."

He Huiyin said with a slight smile.

"Miss He, this time my friend got locked up because of this..."

Ye Chen looked at He Huiyin with a somewhat helpless tone, hoping to seek her assistance.

He had been released, but Dragon Fang was still inside.

"I'm powerless in this matter. When it comes to drugs, no one can really say anything. I hope Mr. Ye can understand, after all, this is Huaxia."

He Huiyin shook her head; the He family had the capability but would not intervene in such matters.

It was too troublesome.

"Alright then, I won't trouble Miss He any further. I'll think of another way and visit Madam He in a few days."

Ye Chen knew this was a tricky situation, and his relationship with the He family wasn't strong enough yet.

"Okay, I need to head back to the company for a meeting."

He Huiyin greeted him and then returned to her car and drove away.

She shook her head as she got into the car.

Grandma said Ye Chen was surely a real dragon among men, but she felt it was just so-so.

Nevertheless.

Seeing He Huiyin drive away, a shadow passed through Ye Chen's eyes.

Such a cold attitude from this woman, could she be looking down on him?

When he finally wins her over, he must discipline her thoroughly!

The He family, he must conquer them too! It would pave his way for future ventures into Yanjing!

In the following days, Ye Chen and his team from Dragon Morning Group sought connections everywhere, trying to get Dragon Fang out.

And Dragon Fang, detained for investigation, felt worse than dead.

It was bad enough that the incident at Moonlight Hotel had brought him bad luck.

The police had even searched his residence and found the hair of the woman who died at the hotel.

Once that was found, the problem became much more serious.

This time, he was completely sunk!

Fortunately, after being locked up for a whole week, Ye Chen finally came to visit him.

Knowing that the Dragon King was coming to see him.

Dragon Fang was thrilled beyond words.

The Dragon King, truly omnipotent!

With him stepping in, he was sure he could leave this place!

After being brought to the visiting room, Dragon Fang excitedly called out, "Young Master Ye."

Ye Chen sat behind the glass, nodding with a smile.

"I have good news and bad news. Which would you like to hear first?"

"The good news?"

"I've had the lawyer work on getting a sentence reduction."

"And the bad news?"

"After the reduction, you're still looking at about twenty years."
