Nie Wenling stared at Ye Luo with some dissatisfaction, releasing her spoiled temperament.
"You still have quite a gap compared to your sister,"
Ye Luo glanced over the two, speaking earnestly.
"What gap are you talking about?" Nie Wenling huffed, unconvinced.
"This, for instance. You are not on the same level here,"
Ye Luo stretched out his hand and pointed at Nie Wenyuâs chest, clearly indicating they were indeed not on the same level.
Seeing Ye Luoâs gesture, the Nie sistersâ cheeks flushed, their eyes filled with a shy expression.
"You... you pervert!"
Nie Wenling glared fiercely at Ye Luo.
"Iâm a pervert? How am I a pervert? Didnât you ask me to point out the difference? This is it. When you become just like your sister, then come and talk to me."
A wicked smile played at the corner of Ye Luoâs mouth as he spoke.
"Hmph!"
Nie Wenlingâs large eyes glared fiercely at Ye Luo once more, while Nie Wenyuâs tranquil face appeared exceedingly bashful.
Outside the room, Nie Yuntian sat on the sofa, smoking and deep in thought. The smoke swirled around, obscuring his face, while Xiang Zuo stood by, occasionally glancing upstairs.
"Godfather, exactly who wants to go against Wenyu and Wenling?"
"Donât worry about this matter. From now on, increase the guard around the two of them. Also, gradually take control of the Yuntian Gang. You are my adopted son and the future leader of the Yuntian Gang; I hope you wonât disappoint me."
Nie Yuntian took a drag on his cigarette and gazed deeply at Xiang Zuo.
"Please rest assured, godfather, I will ensure that the Yuntian Gang flourishes," Xiang Zuo said, his downcast eyes flashing an unusual look.
Zhonghai, in a hidden location.
The Emissary from the Maple Leaf Organization, who had tried to steal the Imperial Jade Seal, stood there, flanked by two men in black emanating icy, formidable auras, sending chills down oneâs spine.
"The mission has failed, and the higher-ups are not pleased. You should understand the consequences of this missionâs failure,"
At that moment, one of the men in black spoke in a chillingly low voice, sounding particularly harsh.
Suddenly, the Emissary knelt to the ground and said, "I am willing to accept the organizationâs punishment."
"The punishment will be spared for now. There is a new mission."
"Please instruct me," the Emissary said respectfully.
"This is the directive from above. Take a look for yourself."
The other man in black directly handed over a black note to the Emissary, who, after reading it, a sharp gleam flashed in his eyes.
"I guarantee to complete the mission!"
"Remember, if this mission fails again, you will receive tenfold the punishment. And that man who sabotaged our plans must not be left alive. Iâve heard he also killed someone from our Maple Leaf Organization. He cannot be spared!"
The two men in black declaimed in unison,
"Understood. I will personally take care of him,"
the Emissary said gravely, his eyes displaying a fierce resolve.
Ling Corporation, after Ye Luo left the Nie Family, he came straight back here.
"What are you doing gossiping here in broad daylight instead of on your posts, do you not want your salaries anymore?"
As soon as Ye Luo walked into the office, he saw Hei Zi and a few others standing around discussing something, and immediately he adopted the posture of a superior and went straight over to start lecturing these guys.
Seeing Ye Luo appear, the expressions of Hei Zi and the others changed as they quickly stood up straight, looking at Ye Luo.
"Vice Chief Ye, youâre back," Hei Zi said with a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth.
"What were you just discussing?"
"Vice Chief Ye, you might not know yet, but Director Liâs fiancĂ© has arrived."
"FiancĂ©?" Ye Luoâs expression changed slightly.
"Thatâs right, we didnât even know that Director Li had a fiancĂ©, we all thought she was single. Turns out she has a fiancĂ© now. Director Li and our president are both esteemed figures of Ling Corporation, the goddesses of our company. Who would have thought they were both taken."
Hei Zi spoke with a sigh, his eyes glancing at Ye Luo, clearly implying that the presidentâs âtakenâ status involved this Vice Chief.
Ye Luoâs brows were slightly furrowed, his eyes flickering with an unusual light as he left immediately and headed upstairs.
Upon reaching the twenty-fifth floor, he headed directly towards the office of Li Wanqin, and with the Clairvoyant Eye activated, he saw directly into the office.
Li Wanqin sat there with a face as cold and severe as iron, while a young man dressed in a white Armani suit, with his hair combed sleek and shiny, sat opposite her. He looked to be in his mid-twenties, with arrogance written all over his face and an extraordinary bearing, clearly not an ordinary individual.
"Wan Qin, since your father has already agreed to our marriage and even accepted the bride price, whatâs the use of your refusal?"
The young man looked at Li Wanqin with a playful smile and spoke.
"My parents agreed, you can marry them if youâd like, it has nothing to do with me. I didnât agree to be your fiancĂ©e, and please donât show up at my company pretending to be my fiancĂ©."
Li Wanqin spoke with a tone as cold as ice, her eyes flashing with an indifferent chill.
"Is that so? If you donât want to acknowledge our engagement, you can just return the bride price tenfold, and then Iâll have nothing to do with you."
"You..."
Li Wanqinâs face darkened, her expression full of anger as she glared at the other party.
"Shen Mo, you really are shameless!"
Li Wanqinâs complexion turned livid with rage, her body trembling.
That guy had given her parents a bride price of two hundred thousand; to get it back tenfold would mean two million. She hadnât even earned five hundred thousand in all these years, let alone two million.
But being manipulated by this guy was not an option, she knew that the person before her wasnât the sort to give up easily. If she allowed him to succeed once, heâd only press her harder and would never stop.
"If youâre not willing to pay the money, then I have no choice. Iâll give you three more days to decide. If you still disagree, you know what Iâm capable of. Itâs likely you wonât be able to work at Ling Corporation anymore, and your family will completely feel the pain of having nothing. At that point, Iâm curious to see if youâll still be as tough as you are now," the young man said calmly, his eyes flickering with spirit.
Li Wanqin was so enraged she breathed heavily, her fists clenched tightly, yet somewhat unsure how to vent her anger. If she could kill someone, sheâd have already charged forward and exterminated this bastard! Compared to this man, she suddenly found the rogue Ye Luo rather adorable.
Bang!
Just then, the door to Li Wanqinâs office suddenly opened, and Ye Luo strode in.
Seeing Ye Luo, Li Wanqinâs complexion changed, her expression becoming somewhat flustered, while the young man, Shen Mo, turned his head sharply to look at Ye Luo.
"Who are you?"
Shen Mo looked at Ye Luo and asked in a hostile tone.
