NOVEL NEXT Chapter 43 – Good news and bad news
Fortunately, at that moment, a Maybach pulled up in front of them and stopped.
The car door opened, and Qin Ming stepped out.
Seeing Tang Yu with his arms around two women, he was instantly taken aback, wondering if he was still dreaming.
"Damn, bro, what's this...?"
Qin Ming was at a loss for words. What the hell was going on?
Su Muyue and Wang Yixue, two famously proud beauties in their circle, were actually clinging to his brother's arms together?
Damn, bro, since when did you become such a player?
Seeing Qin Ming arrive, the two women felt embarrassed and let go of Tang Yu.
"They're playing Truth or Dare," Tang Yu said with an awkward smile, trying to cover up.
"Really?" Qin Ming's eyes gleamed with amusement. As a seasoned player, he knew exactly what was going on.
Then he asked with concern, "Bro, are you okay? I heard something happened at your hotel."
"No worries, I just sold the hotel a few days ago," Tang Yu shook his head.
"That's good. Bro, you're always lucky. Let's go have a drink to celebrate," Qin Ming said with a grin, putting his arm around Tang Yu, then noticed Su Muyue and Wang Yixue glaring at him.
They still remembered the last time he took Tang Yu to the Xinghe Club.
Wang Yixue made a throat-slitting gesture as a warning.
If he took their little Tang Yu to such a place again, she would definitely kill him!
"Get lost, you vixen!" she thought.
After warning Qin Ming with their eyes, the two women said goodbye to Tang Yu and left.
Once they were gone, Tang Yu quickly lit a cigarette to calm his nerves.
Qin Ming squatted beside him, chuckling, "Bro, you're quite lucky with women."
"You think it's a good thing?" Tang Yu retorted irritably.
As a villain who wanted to lay low until the end, keeping a low profile was the way to go!
Qin Ming just chuckled without saying anything. He definitely thought it was a good thing.
After Tang Yu finished his cigarette, he stood up, looking tired.
"Bro, if there's nothing else, I'll head back to rest. Let's drink another time. I've been exhausted and having nightmares every day."
"Alright, go get some rest," Tang Yu nodded, feeling warm inside.
Knowing that his brother rushed over as soon as he heard something happened to him, Tang Yu felt touched.
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly stopped and turned to Qin Ming, frowning.
"You've been having nightmares and not sleeping well?"
"Yeah, I don't know what's going on. Maybe it's kidney deficiency," Qin Ming said with a bitter smile.
Tang Yu frowned deeply and suggested, "Try taking a few days off and go on a trip to relax."
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to go out. I'll just go back and rest," Qin Ming waved his hand and got into his car.
After Qin Ming left, Tang Yu got back into his car and lit another cigarette.
He already knew the reason for Qin Ming's condition.
It was part of the Qin family's storyline in the original book. Qin Ming's discomfort was due to a problem with the feng shui of the Qin family's old mansion.
The root of the problem was a jade Buddha that Qin Ming had bought a week ago.
Ye Chen had tampered with that jade Buddha.
After Qin Ming brought it home, the feng shui of the Qin family was severely affected, turning a place of good fortune into a place of misfortune.
In the midst of the Qin family's crisis, Ye Chen stepped in to help.
Eventually, the Qin family revered him like a god, showing him immense respect.
Qin Kexin, the eldest daughter of the Qin family, also developed strong feelings for him and gradually fell for him.
Although this plot seemed a bit ridiculous, it was perfectly normal in an urban feel-good novel.
Showing off, slapping faces, gaining power and beauties, and receiving rewards all at once.
As Tang Yu recalled the plot, the system's voice suddenly sounded.
"Ding, the host has successfully survived the West City Police Station plot."
"Reward: Complete mastery of ancient martial art 'Yin-Yang Infinite Skill' (one-time use)."
Hearing the reward, Tang Yu was momentarily stunned and then cursed.
"Damn system, what's the use of giving me one-time rewards every day? Why not give me a pair of disposable chopsticks?"
According to the system's introduction, mastering the 'Yin-Yang Infinite Skill' allowed one to use force against force, doubling the damage received back to the attacker.
It was definitely a top-notch skill.
But the one-time use limitation was infuriating!
"Because the host did not perfectly survive the plot, you attracted the enmity of Dragon King Ye Chen," the system explained.
Tang Yu's face darkened.
I wanted to survive perfectly, but damn it, the whole world is full of snitches!
...
After Tang Yu left, Ye Chen was left in the office.
Bai Wanyi thoughtfully put handcuffs on him.
In her mind, Ye Chen was no different from a criminal.
Otherwise, why would he be the boss of Longya?
With the handcuffs on, Ye Chen's face remained calm, but he was seething inside.
He was the mighty Dragon King!
Handcuffs? That made him a prisoner!
But thinking about his plan to woo women, he had to endure it!
He had endured for so many years; a little longer wouldn't hurt!
He originally thought that with his relationship with Bai Wanyi, it wouldn't take long to make a statement or something.
Although he was the boss of Longya, he had nothing to do with the Longchen Group!
He was just the behind-the-scenes boss!
This meant that even if there were big problems at the Bright Moon Hotel, it wouldn't be his fault.
But Bai Wanyi refused to let him go, insisting on getting something out of him!
It wasn't until noon the next day that a tall, stunning beauty came to the West City Police Station and got him out.
After being released, Ye Chen's face was somewhat gloomy.
He looked at the tall beauty gratefully.
"Thank you, Miss He, for coming all this way."
The woman who came to get him was He Huiyin, the eldest daughter of the He family, a well-known beauty in Suzhou and Hangzhou.
The He family was quite low-key in Suzhou and Hangzhou, but their strength was not inferior to the four major families!
They were a branch of the He family from Yanjing.
The matriarch of the He family had some connections with his master.
So when he arrived in Suzhou and Hangzhou, he visited the He family first and helped the matriarch with her illness, earning the He family's gratitude.
Using such a precious favor in this ridiculous situation made him want to die.
"It was my duty," He Huiyin said with a slight smile.
"Miss He, my friend was also detained because of this incident..." Ye Chen looked at He Huiyin with a helpless tone, hoping she could help.
He was out, but Longya was still inside.
"There's nothing I can do about that. When it involves drugs, no one can say anything. I hope you understand, Mr. Ye. After all, this is China," He Huiyin shook her head. The He family had the ability but wouldn't help in such matters.
It was too troublesome.
"Alright, I won't trouble you, Miss He. I'll think of another way. I'll visit the matriarch in a few days," Ye Chen knew this matter was quite tricky, and his relationship with the He family wasn't that deep yet.
"Alright, I'll head back to the company for a meeting," He Huiyin said goodbye and got back into her car.
After getting into the car, she couldn't help but shake her head.
Her grandmother said that Ye Chen was destined to be a true dragon among men, but she thought he was just so-so.
Nothing special.
Watching He Huiyin drive away, a dark look flashed in Ye Chen's eyes.
Was this woman looking down on him with her cold attitude?
When he finally conquered her, he would make sure to teach her a lesson!
He was determined to take over the He family as well, paving the way for his future in Yanjing!
In the following days, Ye Chen took people from the Longchen Group to pull strings and find ways to get Longya out.
Meanwhile, Longya, who was detained and under investigation, felt like he was living in hell.
It was bad enough that he got into trouble because of the Bright Moon Hotel incident.
The police even went to his place and found the hair of the woman who died at the hotel.
With that evidence, the situation became much more serious.
This time, he was completely screwed!
Fortunately, after a whole week, Ye Chen was finally able to visit him.
Knowing that the Dragon King was coming to see him, Longya was overjoyed.
The Dragon King was indeed omnipotent!
With his help, he would surely get out of there!
When he was brought to the visitation room, Longya excitedly called out, "Young Master Ye."
Ye Chen was sitting behind the glass in the visitation room. He nodded and smiled.
"I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
"The good news?"
"I got a lawyer to negotiate a reduced sentence."
"And the bad news?"
"Even with the reduced sentence, you'll still have about twenty years left."
