Chapter 400 - 400 389 Ye Chen's Trump Card

400: Chapter 389: Ye Chen’s Trump Card 400: Chapter 389: Ye Chen’s Trump Card But why would such a person come to Tianya Group?

What could be the reason for his visit?

At that moment, two black-clothed bodyguards descended from the extended Lincoln Car, while a few soldiers jumped down from the following trucks.

They carried Type 56 rifles, forged by King Kong with the inscriptions of wealth on them.

In camouflage uniforms with faces painted, they had pockets of wealth inscribed on them.

The two black-clothed bodyguards had their right hands in their pockets and wore wide-band communicators on their ears.

Their gazes swept sharply around before they respectfully invited the person inside the car to step out.

One would have expected someone of great wealth or extraordinary bearing, but instead, an old man wearing a camouflage outfit alighted, holding a porcelain jar marked with the words “aiding North Korea.” Some of the paint had peeled off the jar, revealing the material inside.

This old man was hardly distinguishable from an ordinary rural farmer—dark-skinned and wearing a pair of Jiefang shoes with bits of soil on them.

Clad like a farmer, the old man’s eyes, however, held profound depth.

He handed the porcelain jar to a bodyguard beside him and walked straight toward Ye Chen.

About to bow to Ye Chen, he was abruptly stopped as Ye Chen took a step forward, grabbing the old man’s arm, and said, “Xiahou Clan Patriarch, you’ve arrived!”

“Young Master, I encountered some trouble, so I came late!” Elder Xiahou chuckled and said, “The bank wouldn’t transfer the funds, I had no choice but to bring the money in person!”

“You’ve gone to too much trouble!” Ye Chen quickly expressed his gratitude.

“Serving the Rothschild family is an honor for the Xiahou Family!” the old man said excitedly.

Immediately after, the old man gave a command, and the soldiers carrying Type 56 rifles hopped back onto the trucks and started unloading nylon bags, each heavy with dozens of pounds.

A soldier carried two bags in one hand.

They continued to unload seventy to eighty bags, then wooden crates that required two people to carry—a few crates in total.

When everything was arranged at the entrance of Tianya Group, everyone started to wonder what these items could be.

The old man chuckled and said, “Each nylon bag is ten million, seventy-six in total, making seven hundred and sixty million.

Three wooden crates contain gold, three hundred pounds in total, which is worth approximately sixty-five million at the current market price.

The total comes to roughly eight hundred and twenty-five million.”

Immediately, soldiers at the scene began pouring out the cash from the nylon bags and also opened the wooden crates to reveal the gold.

Sss…

Everyone drew a cold breath, gazing at the enormous sum with eyes that almost displayed greed.

Not only employees of Tianya Group but even Li Ruo and those who had promised might have never seen so much cash in their lives.

Including the one hundred million brought by Feng Zhixiao, the value at the scene had reached over one billion.

It was fortunate that there were over a hundred soldiers present to guard it, otherwise it could have led to an incident.

Li Ruo excitedly gazed at the money.

In just two hours, Ye Chen had gathered five billion—a task impossible for anyone else, yet Ye Chen had accomplished it.

Li Ruo was thrilled.

Seeing the haggard look on Ye Chen’s face, she understood the hardships he must have endured in those two hours.

“Xiahou Clan Patriarch, thank you!” Ye Che looked at Xiahou with gratitude.

Elder Xiahou had likely arranged a private jet immediately after receiving the call and took off carrying the money from the family’s treasury.

Without enough funds and no time to withdraw from the bank, he directly took three crates of gold and rushed to Jianghuai City by private jet, additionally contacting the local military there for assistance in transporting the money.

The Jianghuai City troops naturally agreed.

It was a privilege to serve a great Shanxi family.

Then the military dispatched a company to provide an escort.

“Young Master, this is what I should do, and it’s an honor for our Xiahou family!” Xiahou Clan Patriarch said lightly with a smile, “The mission is complete, and I must now take my leave.”

“Leaving so soon?” Ye Chen was taken aback.

“Yes, many events are afoot, and the Rothschild family is involved in troublesome matters.

I hope the Young Master can return to Leisure City soon,” Xiahou Clan Patriarch smiled, then took his leave, with the over one hundred soldiers naturally remaining at the scene.

Ye Chen personally saw the old patriarch off from Tianya Group.

As he watched the car slowly depart, Ye Chen exhaled a sigh.

Power truly was a fine thing; it could grant overwhelming support in an instant and satisfy inner vanity.

Ye Chen turned back to the scene, his gaze coldly settling on Zhang Bufen, he said, “Mr.

Zhang, it’s time to settle accounts after the autumn harvest.

I wonder if you’d prefer to do it yourself or if I should assist you?”

“What do you want to do?” Zhang Bufen watched Ye Chen warily.

“Have you forgotten what you’ve said?” Ye Chen narrowed his eyes and said, “You personally promised me that if I managed to raise the money today, then you would eat your leather shoes.”

“I…

I don’t remember that!” Zhang Bufen immediately started to quibble.

“Although Zhang Bufen was shocked by Ye Chen’s abilities, he also began to worry about the dire oath he had made.

Shit, eating leather shoes, huh?

A pair of leather shoes must weigh at least a pound and a half, wouldn’t eating that kill you!”

“As a CEO, to go back on your word like that, it’s truly shameful!” Ye Chen snorted coldly.

“I…” Zhang Bufen clenched his teeth, determined not to eat his own leather shoes.

Ye Chen sneered, “If you’re unwilling to eat your shoes, that’s fine.

Just kneel down and apologize to me, and then kiss my leather shoes!”

Pfft…

The female colleagues around immediately burst into laughter; they couldn’t believe Ye Chen came up with such an idea, asking someone to kiss his shoes.

If it were them, they would rather eat the shoes.

After all, they’re made of cowhide.

Eating them wouldn’t kill you; at worst, they would taste bad, plus there might be a bit of foot odor.

But the most important thing is to have dignity while you’re alive.

“No way!” Zhang Bufen immediately said through gritted teeth, “Then I’d rather eat the leather shoes!”

“Hehe, okay, eat up.

We’re all watching!” Ye Chen wasn’t afraid Zhang wouldn’t eat them; he feared the kid would have no shame and deny his promise.

So, the onlookers surrounded the man.

Zhang Bufen looked at his dirty leather shoes and became cowardly, quickly saying, “Ye Chen, how about this?

I’ll give you some money, and you don’t make me eat them!”

“Oh?

How much?” Ye Chen asked with a smile.

“One…

one million!” Zhang Bufen hurriedly held up a finger.

“You might as well eat the shoes!” Ye Chen immediately shook his head.

Who cares about your one million?

Not to mention one million, even ten million wouldn’t be enough.

I worked hard to gather fifty billion in just two hours.

The speed alone is worth more than one million, right?

Ye Chen thought with a smirk.

“Then…

ten million?” Zhang Bufen tentatively asked.

“No way!” Ye Chen immediately shook his head and said, “Mr.

Zhang, if you’re this insincere, you better eat the shoes.”

“Ye Chen, would fifty million be okay?” Zhang Bufen was near tears.

Not to mention eating the shoes in front of so many people, he couldn’t even do it alone in secret.

Thinking this, Zhang Bufen was on the verge of breaking down, trying to use money to reach his bottom line.

As long as Ye Chen agreed not to eat the shoes, any amount of money was negotiable.

“Fifty million, huh?

Then just eat one shoe!” Ye Chen almost made Zhang Bufen collapse with his words.

It seemed that today he couldn’t get out of this situation without a hundred million.

Gritting his teeth, Zhang Bufen said, “Fine, one billion!”

Zhang Bufen was helpless; it looked like a billion was certainly gone.

“Thank you, Mr.

Zhang, I’ll make sure to take good care of these leather shoes worth over a billion!” Ye Chen grinned, then signaled Feng Zhixiao and the others to move the delivered billion directly.

It was something Zhang Bufen had agreed to personally, with so many witnesses present.

Feng Zhixiao and the others were naturally unceremonious, each looking like a storm charging to move the cash.

Da Hei and others went to move the gold.

Zhang Bufen shouted, “Don’t touch the gold; the gold can’t be given to you!”

Are you kidding?

Could Zhang Bufen single-handedly stop so many fierce young men?

Soon, a case of gold and ten cases of cash were moved, and Zhang Bufen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

That money wasn’t all his; whatever was missing, he’d have to cover himself, throwing it in the wind.

Watching the members of the Heavenly Reversal Gang swiftly carrying away his money, Zhang Bufen could only watch helplessly.

It wasn’t a big loss.

It was just a case of gold.

If they wanted to take all the gold, he figured there wouldn’t be much he could do.

“Alright, Mr.

Zhang, you can carry this money away yourself, we can’t help you with that!” Ye Chen waved at Zhang Bufen and then left with Li Ruo back to Tianya Group.

The employees of Tianya Group were still watching outside.

Zhang Bufen was puzzled.

With so much money, how should he move it?

Seventy to eighty nylon bags, plus two cases of gold.

Helplessly, Zhang Bufen had to bother the soldiers on scene.

With the help of the soldiers, the belongings were reloaded onto the truck, and then Zhang Bufen finally left the scene.

“Mr.

Zhang, do be careful not to joke about leather shoes next time!” Ye Chen had just walked into the lobby when he immediately turned his head and shouted to Zhang Bufen, “Leather shoes are particularly busy this year.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Bufen’s whole body shuddered and nearly fell off the car.
