“I don’t believe it!” Li Ruo pouted.

“I’m definitely better than him!” Fatty Liu’s hearing was really good; even from three or five meters away, he could still catch their private whispers.

Li Ruo turned to glare at him and said, “You always have the most to say, since we were kids!”

Fatty Liu shrank his neck, tucked his hands into his pockets, turned his head, and started to whistle.

He didn’t take Li Ruo’s words to heart at all.

After walking by the lake with Li Ruo for a while, Ye Chen bid farewell.

Li Ruo repeatedly assured Ye Chen that she wouldn’t change her heart and asked him to visit her at the company frequently.

“Don’t leave me alone,” she said.

Ye Chen felt touched by this; after all, he understood Li Ruo’s heart.

Ye Chen went straight back to Xin Hai Apartment, where Liu Momo had left him a note.

It said that she and Li Wen had gone shopping and told Ye Chen to dine by himself.

Looking at the empty home, Ye Chen suddenly felt a sense of emptiness, stemming from being questioned by Li Ruo’s aunt today; he had to admit that he was a person without power, background, or money.

As a representative of the ordinary Chinese citizens, Ye Chen, like many others, was not even as good as they were.

Ye Chen had amnesia and had almost completely forgotten everything from the past few years.

While Ye Chen was lost in thought, a call came in.

Upon seeing the number, he was surprised that it was from Jiang Wei, a kid who rarely needed anything from him and usually went directly to Feng Zhixiao or Da Hei.

“Jiang Wei, what’s up?” Ye Chen asked curiously.

“Brother Chen, my dad wants you to come to my house!” Jiang Wei, embarrassed, couldn’t believe his dad had asked him to pass on the message.

Ye Chen was bemused and curiously asked, “What does your dad want to see me about?”

“I have no idea!” Jiang Wei shook his head and said, “He just asked for you to come for a discussion!”

“Alright, I’ll come by and see!” After saying that, Ye Chen immediately hung up the phone.

The Jianghuai City Government had fallen into tranquility, with the Jianghuai Party and Jiang Zhonggen’s forces displaying a strangely peaceful complementarity—the two sides’ players had been quiet for over a month.

Ye Chen suspected that this time Jiang Zhonggen wanted to discuss how to confront Liu Jiangqiu.

Driving to the City Government building, Ye Chen happened to meet Vice Secretary Liu walking out with his assistant in the hallway.

“Yo, Vice Secretary Liu!” Ye Chen feigned surprise, deliberately emphasizing the word ‘vice.’ Liu Jiangqiu narrowed his eyes, looking at Ye Chen with gravity.

He resented Ye Chen for opposing him time and again and, moreover, this rascal had not only beaten his son but also killed his daughter, an enmity he couldn’t forget or forgive.

But now, preoccupied with confronting Jiang Zhong, Vice Secretary Liu simply couldn’t spare the energy to deal with Ye Chen.

Once Jiang Zhong fell, Ye Chen’s end would also be nigh.

Liu Jiangqiu sneered coldly and said, “Seeing a grasshopper hoping around in autumn is indeed a rarity!”

“Uh…” Ye Chen was taken aback before laughing and responding, “The fact that your year-old pig survived until after the New Year is even rarer.”

After a verbal skirmish, the situation cooled down as Liu Jiangqiu left sheepishly.

Ye Chen walked upstairs, cigarette dangling from his mouth, carrying himself like a braggart.

Entering Jiang Zhonggen’s office, Secretary Liu hurried to pour Ye Chen a cup of tea, treating him with utmost respect for saving Secretary Jiang’s life.

“Ye Chen, you’ve arrived!” Jiang Zhonggen rushed to greet him from his desk.

“Secretary Jiang, what’s the important matter?” Ye Chen asked curiously.

“Heh, it’s not really a big deal!” Jiang Zhonggen offered Ye Chen a Zhonghua cigarette with a chuckle and said, “I just wanted to get in touch with the person behind you, hoping they could give us a hand!”

Ye Chen was startled, frowning.

Jiang Zhonggen was a very astute observer of people, and he hastily laughed, “Of course, if it’s not possible, that’s okay, too.

I just wanted to thank him personally for saving my life back then!”

“You don’t have to be so polite!” Ye Chen waved his hand, saying, “She won’t see you.

Don’t even think about meeting her!”

The ‘she’ Ye Chen was referring to, of course, was Ms.

Yan, whose identity was very mysterious.

As a member of the Chinese Dragon Group, she carried a specific mission.

The Chinese Dragon Group had been confronting the Doomsday Family, so it was imperative not to reveal any information about the group.

“Yes, yes!” Jiang Zhonggen agreed, nodding repeatedly.

The fact that they could pull him from the hands of the Disciplinary Inspection Committee proved their power wasn’t ordinary.

After all, those in the Disciplinary Inspection Committee were seen as Oxhead and Horseface under King Yanluo, and to rescue someone from King Yanluo would at least be on the level of a Bodhisattva, right?

Ye Chen suddenly realized that with Ms.

Yan as his backer, Jiang Zhonggen’s gaze at him seemed different.

He couldn’t help but smile at the thought of Jiang Zhonggen’s expression if he knew that his backer was merely the owner of a bar.

Jiang Zhonggen hurriedly said, “Ye Chen, I won’t hide it from you.

I’m planning to take down Liu Jiangqiu.

So, I’d like to discuss it with the person behind you!”

“Do you have any plan?” Ye Chen asked curiously.

“No, that’s why I need to consult with him!” Jiang Zhonggen shook his head hurriedly.

“Why not find an excuse to charge him with a fabricated crime?” Ye Chen smiled and said, “The official circle is like a battlefield.

It’s easy to dodge the open spears but difficult to guard against the hidden arrows.

If you can’t kill him with open spears, just use the security check.”

Jiang Zhonggen was stunned and immediately humbly sought advice.

Ye Chen whispered into Jiang Zhonggen’s ear.

Jiang Zhonggen listened, looking stunned, but ultimately felt that it was very feasible.

Thereupon, the two immediately made a decision.

“Oh, by the way, there’s something I need to tell you!” Jiang Zhonggen smiled and said, “The matter about the Great Development Group headquarters building!”

“Oh?

Wasn’t Yan Bu’er’s headquarters bought by Zhang Siyang?” Ye Chen still remembered Zhang Siyang’s expression that looked as if he had eaten a disgusting fly.

Jiang Zhonggen snorted coldly and said, “Zhang Siyang reneged, abandoning the hundred thousand RMB deposit.

He doesn’t want the building anymore!”

“Shit, what a lousy character that guy has!” Ye Chen’s exaggerated expression shocked Secretary Liu, who was standing by.

“So, I’ve decided to sell the Great Development Group headquarters building to Tianya Group.

What do you think?” Jiang Zhonggen smiled.

Ye Chen quickly shook his head and said, “Tianya Group doesn’t have that much capital to buy the Great Development Group.

Are you kidding me?

Eleven billion!

Even Zhang Siyang didn’t want to swallow this chicken rib, and you’re tossing it to Tianya Group?”

“Not at all, it’s a half-price deal!” Jiang Zhonggen immediately waved his hands and laughed, “Eight billion, and the government will cover all the procedures and fees!”

“Shit, really?” Ye Chen almost jumped up from the couch in excitement.

“Of course, it’s true!” Jiang Zhonggen grinned and said, “I’ll have someone transfer it to you privately.

After all, there’s no need to report this.

Out of the eight billion, five billion will be used to pay back bank loans, two billion to replenish government accounts, and the remaining one billion, heh, to distribute some welfare bonuses to government officials and send some on overseas inspections.

Being an official, who wouldn’t want a little perk!”

“Exactly!” Ye Chen nodded eagerly.

Normally, he despised these officials’ corrupt behaviors to the bone, but at this moment, he agreed wholeheartedly.

It seems that Chinese people still like to take shortcuts and use connections.

This was a typical Chinese mentality in Ye Chen.

On the one hand, he criticized the Chinese for using back doors and giving gifts.

Yet he himself enjoyed the convenience brought by those same methods.

However, Ye Chen was entirely unaware of the contradiction in his actions.

Having received such good news from Jiang Zhonggen, Ye Chen didn’t immediately share it with Li Ruo because he was also contemplating whether to buy the building himself or leave it to Xiao Ruo.

If he were to buy it, he reckoned he didn’t have enough money.

Shit, eight billion!

Even selling the Heavenly Reversal Gang wouldn’t fetch eight billion.

So, the only way was to take out a bank loan.

However, for an auction like this building, a bank loan was not allowed.

“Alas, it seems I am not fortunate enough to enjoy this!” Ye Chen shook his head helplessly.

When he was returning to the Heavenly Reversal Gang, he specifically took a walk under the Great Development Group building, standing outside and looking up.

The entrance was sealed, and two police officers stood guard, fearing that creditors would sneak in to take or dismantle things.

The building was over ten stories high and covered an area of several hundred square meters; it indeed looked very nice.

Moreover, the location was good as well.

Ye Chen felt envious but could only blame his lack of ability to swallow this piece of land.

Standing in front of the building for a long time, even the police officers at the entrance were preparing to come over and question him.

At that moment, a seductive woman approached with a sly smile, looked at Ye Chen, and said, “Mr.

Ye, remember me?”

Ye Chen turned his head to look at the woman’s delicate and somewhat eerie face, her well-proportioned features, her stunning beauty, and her seductive figure.

He was shocked as he looked at her, and suddenly, a bolt of lightning crossed his mind.

That flash of lightning completely awakened even a little bit of his memory.

Pointing at the woman, he said in amazement, “You…

you…

I know you!”

“You know me?” The woman was startled, her hand immediately touching her waist.

“Yes!” Ye Chen nodded gravely.

At that moment, his head hurt terribly, and he said through clenched teeth, “But I can’t remember where I’ve seen you.

No, no, you often appear in my dreams!”

Ye Chen suddenly became somewhat excited.
