Invincible Young Master in the City
Chapter 443 - 443 439 Meeting Nie Yuling

443: Chapter 439: Meeting Nie Yuling 443: Chapter 439: Meeting Nie Yuling Ye Fan blocked the strange phone number, but two minutes later, he received another call from an unknown number.

This time, Ye Fan finally decided to answer the call.

Upon answering, the voice of the young man from earlier came through, though it was noticeably more polite.

“Hello, are you Ye Fan?”

Ye Fan responded indifferently, “I am.

Who are you?”

“I’m Yang Zecheng.

I presume you know who I am.

Can we meet up and talk?” Yang Zecheng said.

Ye Fan answered coldly, “I’m not available.”

With that, he hung up the call.

To him, meeting Yang Zecheng was a waste of time.

He wouldn’t directly warn Yang Zecheng, nor would he let the involved parties know that he was thwarting the political marriage between the Yang and Tantai families.

It wasn’t that he feared retaliation from the Yang family but rather he didn’t want Tantai Wanrong to be under pressure.

If the political marriage failed because the Tantai family hoped to profit through ties to Tantai Wanrong, they would certainly blame her.

If Yang Zecheng were taken out and the Yang family learned it was because of Tantai Wanrong, they would definitely vent their anger on the Tantai family.

At that point, the Tantais would blame her even more.

Worst case scenario, Tantai Wanrong could become estranged from her own family.

Thus, sabotaging this political marriage could only be done clandestinely.

After hanging up on Yang Zecheng, Ye Fan thought for a while, then found Nie Yuling’s phone number from his contacts and called her.

Soon, the call was connected, and the joyful sound of silver bells came from the other end, “Brother Fan.”

“Mm.” Ye Fan smiled slightly and said, “Yuling, are you free now?

I have something I want to talk to you about in person.”

“Yes, of course,” Nie Yuling immediately replied.

“Where should we meet?

I’ll come to you right now.”

“Heroic Bar,” Ye Fan said.

After the call, Ye Fan drove to the Heroic Bar.

Since his second intimate encounter with Nie Yuling, their relationship had been maintained.

Although they did not meet often, they generally saw each other once or twice a month, except for the period when he was abroad.

Ten to twenty minutes later, Ye Fan and Nie Yuling almost arrived at Heroic Bar simultaneously.

Nie Yuling was dressed in a black, tight-fitting short leather skirt, her long legs enveloped in flesh-colored stockings, and she wore a pair of high-heeled shoes.

Her figure was slim and athletic, her exquisite face pale as frost, her gaze cold, yet her soft, plump lips were as red as fire, creating an aloof and wild temperament that reminded one of a fierce, untamed leopardess.

However, upon seeing Ye Fan, her beautiful face involuntarily softened into a warm smile, her eyes tender as water.

Following a gentle “Brother Fan,” she approached Ye Fan, her arm looping cozily around his left arm, leaning against him like a bird snuggling up to a person.

Ye Fan nodded slightly with a “Mm,” and led Nie Yuling toward the entrance of Heroic Bar.

They had only taken a few steps when Lu Chengqiang burst out from inside.

“Brother Ye!

Haha, I didn’t expect you’d have time to come by,” Lu Chengqiang said as he strode toward Ye Fan.

As he approached Ye Fan, he noticed Nie Yuling and asked, “Brother Ye, she…”

“Your sister-in-law,” Ye Fan said flatly, “Nie Yuling.”

“Ah, the boss of Qingmu Group!” Lu Chengqiang was momentarily surprised.

However, he quickly suppressed his astonishment and envy, and respectfully greeted Nie Yuling, “Sister-in-law, hello.

My name is Lu Chengqiang.”

Nie Yuling nodded and said, “Hello, Brother Lu.”

Ye Fan followed Lu Chengqiang into Heroic Bar.

He ascended to the second floor of the bar and entered the best and most luxurious private room.

After a server brought in a cascade of fine wine, snacks, and fruit platters, Ye Fan said to Lu Chengqiang, “Nie Yuling and I have something to discuss, you can attend to your other duties.”

“Sure.

Call me immediately if you need anything.” Lu Chengqiang flashed a grin and left the private room.

After clinking glasses of red wine with Nie Yuling, Ye Fan asked, “Has anyone from Qingmu Group come over from Ban City?”

“Yes,” Nie Yuling replied, “and not just one.”

Ban City was very close to Hua Hai and was also a large city.

The two cities were almost connected due to continuous development.

In fact, the underground forces of Hua Hai were connected with those of Ban City.

“Can they be trusted?

I need them to help me with something,” Ye Fan inquired.

“Reliable,” Nie Yuling affirmed.

“What do you need?”

“I need them to help me officially report to bring down a senior official with real power,” Ye Fan explained.

Yang Zecheng was the Deputy Director of the Organizational Department in Ban City, a department with significant authority, and as a deputy director, he held considerable power and was courted by many officials.

Nie Yuling remarked, “Reporting officially shouldn’t be an issue.

However, a report from an ordinary citizen might not suffice to bring him down.”

“I understand that.

The official report is just a fuse,” Ye Fan said with a light smile.

While talking, he handed over a prepared USB drive to Nie Yuling, “This contains the information.

The official report will commence next Monday.”

The information provided by Ye Zaixing was very thorough and nearly ready to be used directly in court.

Nie Yuling took the USB drive and stored it carefully.

The two clinked glasses and sipped their wine again.

Ye Fan, with concern in his tone, asked, “How have you been recently?”

“Not bad,” Nie Yuling answered, “Qingmu Group has already begun its establishment.

From now on, Qingmu Gang will completely clean up.”

Ye Fan nodded.

Nie Yuling seemed pensive, as if she had something to say.

“Whatever it is, just say it,” Ye Fan encouraged.

“Hmm,” Nie Yuling began, “The citywide crackdown on black society has subsided.

Although Qingmu Gang captured some of the turf left by Hei Wolf, half of it was seized by other regional powers.

These groups have already divided up that half area, yet remain unsatisfied and started reaching towards Qingmu Gang’s territories.

Gang brothers are demanding expansion because we can’t withstand the encroachments of Shuangyi Gang and Hongxing Gang.”

She paused, then continued, “It will take at least five years for Qingmu Gang to be fully legitimate…”

“I understand what you mean,” Ye Fan pondered, “Maybe I have been too optimistic.

There’s always darkness where there is light.

The best we can do is ensure the dark side isn’t too sinister.

If Qingmu Gang doesn’t claim Hei Wolf’s territory, other forces will, and their greed will inevitably lead them towards us.”

“Since it’s inevitable, it should be controlled by us.”

Facing Nie Yuling directly, Ye Fan declared, “Go ahead and expand appropriately.

However, ensure strict vetting, and absolutely do not accept anyone with a serious criminal record.”

“Alright,” Nie Yuling agreed.

Ye Fan added, “Also, you could collaborate with Strong Son from earlier.

He’s skilled, and could offer some help.

As for how you collaborate, you can discuss that among yourselves; I won’t interfere.”

Lu Chengqiang’s management of Heroic Bar inevitably involved him with the underground forces.

If not Qingmu Gang, other forces would likely have targeted such a lucrative venue long ago.

Nie Yuling was thrilled, confident in Ye Fan’s endorsement of someone’s capabilities, which certainly meant they were formidable.
