Chapter 510: Chapter 495: Mr. Li Arrived

Tianya Group’s issue was resolved, so Ye Chen immediately informed Li Ruo. Upon hearing the news, Li Ruo asked Lin Ziwen to call the families of the victims to discuss the settlement solutions at Black Water Security Company. While Lin Ziwen was making the calls, Li Ruo began to print out the agreement proposals. After the families received the money, they would need to sign a contract. Once they took the money, they could no longer hold the company responsible for anything in the future, especially since the company wasn’t at fault in the first place. The company had simply assisted out of humanitarian concern to find the perpetrator.

Soon, the families of the deceased and injured arrived at Black Water Security Company. One by one, they stood at the entrance waiting for Ye Chen to give everyone an explanation.

Lin Ziwen and Li Ruo hurriedly arrived at the scene, and when they got there, a large number of family members were already gathered at the entrance.

"Mr. Li is here! Mr. Li is here!" Cheers erupted from the crowd. With Li Ruo present, everything was easier to discuss. The reason everyone had been standing there immobile was mainly because of the psychological fear they harbored toward the Heavenly Reversal Gang. Now that someone fair was present, everyone felt more at ease.

"Make way, everybody!" Lin Ziwen quickly cleared a path for Li Ruo as she headed toward Black Water Security Company.

At that moment, Da Xia, with a few little brothers, walked to the door carrying several suitcases. Ye Chen, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, swaggered out, glanced over everyone, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, today is the third day, which is when I promised I would give you an answer."

"Mr. Ye, tell us, how should this be handled?" someone from among the families shouted.

"The two deceased from the cafeteria poisoning will receive a one-time compensation of RMB 500,000 each. The injured, depending on the disability certificates issued by the hospital, will receive compensation ranging from RMB 300,000 to RMB 30,000!" Ye Chen glanced over the crowd and asked, "Any objections?"

Immediate discussions broke out among the families. A one-time compensation of RMB 500,000 for each deceased was definitely not low among China’s accident-related compensations.

Don’t think a life is very valuable, especially in a populous country like China where human life is worth less than a dog’s. What’s the real price of death? No one knows for sure. But, with the following examples, we can get a rough idea of the cost of death in China. According to the "Interim Regulations on Compensation for Bodily Injury to Passengers in Domestic Air Transport," the highest compensation per deceased passenger is RMB 70,000; according to the "Railway Passenger Transport Damage Compensation Regulations," it’s up to RMB 40,000.

Someone calculated using the living expenses standards released by a certain city’s Economic Planning Commission that a farmer’s life is worth RMB 14,000 and a city resident’s life RMB 54,750. In the major gas explosion accident at Chen Family’s Mountain Coal Mine in Shanxi, how much could the lives of over 160 miner brothers be worth? It’s hard to pinpoint an exact figure, but for reference, during the Guangdong "7.17 Nandan Mining Disaster" in 2001 which attracted media involvement and significant exposure, each deceased received a compensation of RMB 40,000 for their life.

Sometimes, a human life really isn’t worth as much as a dog’s.

"No objections!" Some among the families even showed satisfied smiles. Ye Chen’s compensation was indeed substantial, which even surprised Li Ruo, as the initial compensation she had discussed with the cafeteria’s outsourced manager had not been this high.

"That’s good. Now we’ll start calling names; when you hear your name, step forward to receive the money and sign the agreement!" Ye Chen shouted. Immediately, Da Xia opened the suitcases, pouring out the RMB inside, with millions in cash exposed in the air, instantly provoking greed in everyone.

Then, Haozi began to call out names, Da Xia was responsible for handing out the money, and Lin Ziwen ensured the families signed the agreements. Everyone at Black Water Security Company was orderly lining up, waiting for their compensation.

Li Ruo squeezed her way in and asked anxiously, "Ye Chen, you’re not using the company’s money to make these compensations, are you?"

"Don’t worry, how could I be that foolish?" Ye Chen grinned and said, "It’s always been a case of using other people’s money, not the other way around!"

"Then where did this money come from?" Li Ruo urgently asked.

"What else could it be? Of course, it’s compensation from Hongmen!" Ye Chen revealed a mysterious smile, making Li Ruo immediately realize that the situation was not so simple. She hurriedly asked, "How could Hongmen possibly give you money? What’s really going on?"

"Relax, I acquired this money through legitimate means, completely legal, and they even brought it to me voluntarily!" Ye Chen smirked.

"Never mind you. When do you plan to deal with the Futai Group matter?" Li Ruo pouted her red lips.

"As soon as possible," Ye Chen looked at Li Ruo and said, "I’ve been quite busy lately, so it might take some time."

"Okay!" Li Ruo nodded, seriously looking at Ye Chen, and said, "You’re looking a bit tired lately, and paler than before. You should take care of yourself!"

"Thank you, Xiao Ruo!" Ye Chen held Li Ruo’s hand, showing a smile, and said, "Haven’t we been intimate in a long time?"

"Damn it, do men think about that every day?" Li Ruo snorted softly.

"Don’t men need to think about that to be men?" Ye Chen grinned and then hoisted Li Ruo horizontally, quickly running upstairs. Li Ruo let out a yelp, but her whole body was already airborne, tightly held in Ye Chen’s arms. No matter how much Li Ruo struggled, she couldn’t escape from Ye Chen’s embrace.

Ye Chen carried Li Ruo to the bedroom and placed her by the bed, then fiercely kissed her.

Initially, Li Ruo was struggling fiercely, but under Ye Chen’s aggressive kiss, she quickly surrendered and started responding to his passionate kisses. Ye Chen realized that every girl’s kiss was different, from Li Ruo to Zhang Yantong, from Zhang Yantong to Dian Ling, and from Dian Ling to Liu Momo. Almost every girl showed different emotions when responding to a kiss.

Li Ruo had a modest yet bold type of kiss, Dian Ling was completely bold, and Zhang Yantong, despite her carefree appearance, was typically modest, just like Liu Momo. However, Ms. Yan gave Ye Chen a refreshing feeling. Ms. Yan was highly proactive, giving Ye Chen an incomparable feeling.

Holding Li Ruo’s tender, sweet tongue felt like holding a soft piece of honey candy, so sweet and arousing. Ye Chen’s body hormones were all stimulated. A fierce fire burned inside his abdomen, as if it could incinerate him into ashes at any moment.

"Xiao Ruo, I want you!" Ye Chen suddenly tore open Li Ruo’s neckline. Two snow-white delights popped out.

"What?!" Li Ruo yelped, hastily covering her chest with both hands.

Unknowingly, her hands pressing against her chest made her curves even more enticing. Li Ruo squeezed them hard, nearly causing Ye Chen to gasp. He quickly pried her hands away, but Li Ruo struggled, accidentally hitting the stitches on Ye Chen’s back. This immediately caused him severe pain.

Ye Chen grimaced in pain. Li Ruo quickly asked, "Ye Chen, what’s wrong?"

"It’s nothing!" Ye Chen immediately waved it off, saying, "You probably touched my wound!"

"What?" Li Ruo was stunned, then quickly sat up, ignoring the alluring view on her chest, and sharply said, "Come here, take off your clothes!"

Ye Chen was startled and quickly began to strip, laughing, "Xiao Ruo, can’t you wait?"

"Hmph!" Li Ruo’s cheeks flushed red. After Ye Chen took off his clothes, she immediately began examining his body, and when she saw a long scar on his back, she froze. The sight of the shockingly long wound made Li Ruo frightened, and she quickly covered it with gauze, gritting her teeth, "What happened here?"

"This..." Ye Chen was dumbfounded, not knowing how to explain. He quickly came up with an excuse, "Yesterday, during a practice fight with Da Xia, he accidentally cut me with his knife!"

"Really?" Li Ruo frowned, doubting Ye Chen’s words, but given Ye Chen’s skills, there should be few capable of matching him, especially in such a short time. Thus, Li Ruo could only believe what Ye Chen said.

"Of course, it’s true!" Ye Chen nodded.

Ye Chen held Li Ruo, enticing with the softness of her chest. Li Ruo, aroused by Ye Chen’s caresses, could not resist. However, no matter how comfortable Li Ruo felt, she always refused to let Ye Chen breakthrough her final defense. She clenched her teeth, holding onto her own bottom line. She believed that a woman’s loyalty should mean offering her virginity to the husband she loves most on their wedding night.

Ye Chen understood Li Ruo and also knew he was a conservative at heart. So, after a while, he could only quietly help her get dressed. Li Ruo seemed a bit guilty and looked at Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, I... should I help you with my hand instead?"

"Really?" Ye Chen was pleasantly surprised by her offer.

"I just don’t want you to feel bad!" Li Ruo nodded.

Ye Chen didn’t hesitate, immediately lying sprawled at the head of the bed. Li Ruo’s face flushed like a beautiful rose. Needless to say, Li Ruo’s demeanor was lofty, her presence immediately noticeable in a crowd, with Ye Chen being able to spot her instantly. Her beauty and figure were unquestionable.

Having won the heart of such a woman as Li Ruo, Ye Chen felt like he must have really lucked out in a past life. But to have Li Ruo offer to give him a handjob, and even orally, was beyond his wildest dreams.
