As night drew closer, the once harsh midday sun had softened, devoid of its earlier ferocity and the vibrant morning glow.

The evening sun scattered waves of ripples across the sea’s surface.

Outside, groups of people, mostly elders, strolled casually along the seaside path, breathing in the freshest evening air with children in tow.

Many frolicked on the small stretch of beach.

This was a unique feature of Jianghuai City among coastal cities—it was the only one suitably peaceful for living and leisure.

Not only did it boast a magnificent ocean, but it was also home to the lush, tree-covered Xiangming Mountain.

Moreover, living costs in Jianghuai City were relatively lower compared to other coastal cities.

City Government family building.

Lights blazed throughout the building.

That night, Jiang Zhonggen was watching TV at home with his wife and Jiang Wei.

“Dad, I need to ask you for a favor, can you help?” Jiang Wei finally mustered the courage.

“Oh?

What is it?” Jiang Zhonggen was taken aback, curiously looking at Jiang Wei, he said, “It better not be something nonsensical.

If it’s something serious, I can help!”

“Alright, this is definitely serious!” Jiang Wei immediately nodded and said, “Tomorrow, I and some friends are opening an entertainment city in University City, and I hope you can come and do the ribbon-cutting!”

“Heh, you think I don’t know?” Jiang Zhonggen glanced sternly at Jiang Wei and said, “What you’ve set up in University City is a gambling den, with only a facade of an entertainment city banner.

Inside, it’s a large casino.

Let me tell you, you’re better off staying out of this.

Even if the government turns a blind eye, the Flame Dragon Gang will definitely intervene.

Feng Zhixiao and his gang dare to snatch food from Yan Bu’er’s mouth; isn’t that blatantly opposing Yan Bu’er?

Yan Bu’er is particularly dangerous, you need to be careful!”

“Dad, won’t you help even with this one thing?” Jiang Wei, with a sullen face, said, “I’ve already told the guys you’d help with the ribbon-cutting!”

“I definitely can’t go!” Jiang Zhonggen immediately shook his head and said, “However, I can send Secretary Liu on my behalf.”

Jiang Zhonggen didn’t want to cut his son off completely.

Seeing how busy his son had been these days and the visible weight he had lost, it was clear the boy was sincerely trying.

It’s rare for his son to be dedicated to something, and even if it involved the underworld, there was no reason not to support him.

Yet, for the sake of his political future and advancement, Jiang Zhonggen had to be wary of his influence, sending Secretary Liu instead.

If something went wrong, he could completely deny involvement.

“Alright, that works too!” Jiang Wei immediately nodded, in his eyes, Secretary Liu’s influence was almost equivalent to Jiang Zhonggen’s.

Anyone meeting Secretary Liu was as respectful as if they were meeting his own boss.

Jiang Zhonggen glanced at Jiang Wei and said, “Jiang Wei, once I move to the provincial city, you need to be mindful of your image.

After all, you’ll be the son of a Vice Secretary of the Provincial Committee.

If you continue as before, it’ll be difficult for me at the Provincial Committee.”

“Don’t worry, Dad, I know what to do!” Jiang Wei nodded and said, “Once the entertainment city is up and running, I will work hard to manage it.

I want to prove to you that I can demonstrate my values through actions!”

“Haha…” Jiang Zhonggen laughed heartily.

Regarding this matter, Jiang Zhonggen wouldn’t intervene personally because he believed that even if Yan Bu’er targeted the casino, he wouldn’t dare harm his son.

Jiang Zhonggen only needed to ensure his son’s safety; the safety of anyone else, including Feng Zhixiao and Ye Chen, was of no concern to him.

…

The next day, University City was alive with the sound of gongs and drums, red flags flying.

Feng Zhixiao and others had specially invited a lion dance troupe and a drum team to perform at the entrance, attracting many bystanders.

A huge sign hung over the former Hot Pot City.

A red carpet stretched from the road into the entertainment city.

Feng Zhixiao and others carried large boxes outside, distributing Crystal Coins while loudly shouting, “Ten Crystal Coins each, until all are given away!”

“Is this… this an entertainment city?”

“Isn’t it just a casino under the name of an entertainment city?

Isn’t this the same as those in other places?”

The bystanders discussed fervently while rushing forward to grab the Crystal Coins.

At that time, various local lords arrived; the first to reach was Li Ruo from Tianya Group.

A black, imposing Jaguar pulled up, and Captain Cao jumped out of the car while Jin Guoyou, along with another bodyguard, immediately secured the area.

The three bodyguards formed a triangular defensive position, and Lin Ziwen closely followed Li Ruo.

“Wow, isn’t that Mr.

Li from Tianya Group?”

“She’s even more beautiful in person than on TV!”

The crowd instantly buzzed with excitement, but Li Ruo remained icy, expressionless, as her bodyguard carried a flower basket to the entrance.

Li Ruo walked up and finally showed a smile, saying to Feng Zhixiao, “Zhixiao, congratulations on your opening, I hope your business thrives!”

“Ah, Mr.

Li, thank you so much!” Feng Zhixiao eagerly shook Li Ruo’s hand, looking flattered, while Ye Chen, who stood aside smoking a cigarette, was ignored.

Feng Zhixiao noticed this detail and curiously glanced at Ye Chen and then at Li Ruo, suspecting a rift between them.

With a hooked smile, Feng Zhixiao then said to Li Ruo, “Mr.

Li, let me introduce you to our boss here, Ye Chen!”

“No need!” Li Ruo shook her head and then walked off with Lin Ziwen to one side.

Feng Zhixiao quickly approached Ye Chen and said, “Brother Chen, what’s wrong?

Did you have a fight with your sister-in-law?”

“Go to hell!” Ye Chen cursed, “When did she become your sister-in-law?

Watch it, or you might get castrated!”

Sss…

Feng Zhixiao shivered and quickly covered his “little bird” before grinning and saying, “Isn’t that just a matter of time?

Brother Chen, the revolution is not yet successful, comrades still need to strive.

You should hurry and take down Mr.

Li, take down…”

At this moment, a black Audi drove slowly up.

Just by looking at the license plate, a wave of shock already burst from the crowd.

“Damn, isn’t that the City Secretary’s car?

Why has he come here too?”

“Wow, it really is!

It seems this casino has connections, even the City Secretary can be invited!”

“From now on, we can gamble here without worrying about getting arrested!”

The citizens heatedly discussed, and those who liked gambling but were a bit timid suddenly felt reassured; even the City Secretary was here to celebrate which wasn’t that like telling everyone that the casino was under the City Government’s protection?

Secretary Liu got out of the car, followed quickly by the driver who held a flower basket, then placed it at the entrance.

Secretary Liu walked over to Ye Chen with a big smile, saying, “Ye, congratulations on your opening ceremony, may your business thrive!”

Ye Chen hadn’t expected someone from the City Government to come, but then he thought, Jiang Zhonggen sending Secretary Liu over was a smart move.

Ye Chen smiled and said, “Secretary Liu, you are an honored guest.

Come, let me introduce you, the beautiful CEO of Tianya Group, Mr.

Li!”

“Ah, Mr.

Li, you’re here too!” Secretary Liu was startled.

He widened his eyes, surprised to see Li Ruo, who rarely attended public events.

Li Ruo smiled faintly and said, “Aren’t you here too?”

At this point, Jiang Wei came over smiling and said, “Uncle Liu, you’re here!

How about my dad?”

“Oh, Xiao Wei, your dad is too busy with work and couldn’t come, so he sent me instead!” Secretary Liu chuckled and said, “You’re not going to blame your dad, are you?”

“No way, it’s the same with you here!” Jiang Wei laughed.

In no time, a police car with flashing lights sped up, leaving a black mark in front of the entertainment city.

The onlooking citizens were immediately stunned; was the police coming to raid the place on its opening day?

“Damn, it’s just the opening day, could the police be here to smash the place?”

“With Secretary Liu here, who would dare?”

“Exactly, I say, these police must be here to support the event!”

The crowd discussed again, all craning their necks to see what was really going on.

The police car opened, and two beautiful women in skirts came out from the driver and passenger side.

Zhang Yantong was wearing a black dress, her back exposed and her proud chest covered by clothes.

Black crystal sandals revealed ten shiny, translucent toes.

Fang Qin hopped down from the passenger side, dressed in a white T-shirt and a short black skirt, not wearing any stockings; but her beautiful legs didn’t need any.

Their appearance immediately caused a stir among the men present, although Li Ruo was beautiful, she was naturally as cold as an iceberg, keeping people at arm’s length and seemed like a lotus, only to be admired from a distance.

Zhang Yantong and Fang Qin, holding hands, each holding a wallet, walked towards Ye Chen.

“Damn, so beautiful!” Ye Chen couldn’t help but exclaim, saying, “If someone could marry you two, they’d be set for life in happiness!”

“Jerk!” Fang Qin spat, saying, “You can’t expect ivory to come out of a dog’s mouth!”

“Try spitting some out yourself!” Ye Chen grinned.

“You…” Fang Qin’s eyes widened, and Zhang Yantong quickly pulled her hand, saying, “Let it go, don’t stoop to his level.

Otherwise, you’ll be angered to death!”

“Hmph, Ms.

Tong is right, this guy is nothing but a hedgehog.” Fang Qin coldly glanced at Ye Chen.

“Ye Chen, I’ve already heard about your situation from Lingling!” Zhang Yantong smiled at Ye Chen, saying, “Now that you’re out, stay out of trouble, or Ms.

Yan won’t save you a second time!”

“Are you here to preach or to congratulate?” Ye Chen frowned.

“Hehe…” Zhang Yantong grinned, “We’ll preach first, then congratulate, is that okay?”

“Fine!” Ye Chen nodded.
