Long Ya's legs went weak, and he nearly tumbled off his chair.
Twenty years?
He, the dignified Long Lao Ba, one of the eight great generals of the Dragon Soul Organization, was to be locked up in a place like this for twenty years?
At this moment, he suddenly regretted coming to Huaxia more than anything.
Damn it, if he hadn't gone to mess with that lousy hotel, none of this would have happened!
"I will continue to find a way, don't worry. Maybe you'll be out in a while."
Ye Chen comforted him.
Once he controlled the entirety of Suhang, would it really be that hard to get one person out of prison?
The conquest of the four great families was already beginning to reach its final stages!
Although the plan to control the Wang Family had hit a few minor snags, it was still well within his grasp.
Things were proceeding very smoothly with the Qin Family as well, and results would be visible soon.
With Chi Yin and a few other chess pieces in the Tang Family, it would only take some time to take them down as well.
Once those three families were secured, taking down the Su Family, who were at the bottom in terms of strength, would naturally be a piece of cake!
In short, the advantage was his!
Before Suhang was under his control, Long Ya would just have to suffer a little grievance.
Long Ya sighed and said.
"Young Master Ye, then I'll leave it to you. I hope to get out as soon as possible, to serve by your side as before, and to eat the little hamburgers I make with my own hands together."
"Alright, we brothers will see each other again soon."
Ye Chen gave Long Ya a firm look, stood up, and left the visitation room.
Antique Street, an antique shop named Debao Pavilion.
This shop was one of the best in Suhang and was also a property of the Tang Family.
The person in charge of this shop was Zhao Gaoshen, a veteran employee of the Tang Family.
He had been working at this antique shop since he was a teenager, staying for a full thirty-plus years.
Whether it was his ability or other aspects, he was quite excellent and deeply trusted by the Tang Family.
"Young Master Tang, please take a look at the ledger. This is last month's cash flow. The shop's profits have been quite good over the past few months."
Zhao Gaoshen took out a ledger and handed it to Tang Yu. Although times had changed, antique shops were still accustomed to using ledgers for bookkeeping.
"Alright, thank you for your hard work."
Tang Yu smiled, took the ledger, and flipped through it casually.
He had barely turned two pages when a man and a woman walked in from outside.
Tang Yu looked up, then closed the ledger in his hand and hid behind a display cabinet, deliberately turning his back to the two to avoid being recognized.
The man and woman who walked in were none other than Ye Chen and Qin Kexin.
As the eldest daughter of the Qin Family, Qin Kexin was an extremely famous beauty in Suhang.
However, she looked very haggard today, like a rose about to wither.
The reason she looked this way was precisely because something had gone wrong with the Qin Family recently.
The whole family couldn't rest well; everyone had nightmares after falling asleep.
After a period of time, everyone's health had started to suffer.
Some of the Qin Family's servants and bodyguards were even so frightened that they chose to resign and leave the Qin Family.
And after they resigned and left, this phenomenon disappeared.
Consequently, everyone in the Qin Family suspected that something had gone wrong with the feng shui of their home.
She had come to the antique market today to see if there was anything good that could improve their feng shui, not expecting to run into Ye Chen on the way.
Of course, this "chance encounter" was also deliberately arranged by Ye Chen.
As the Dragon King, he was either picking up girls every day or on his way to pick up girls!
"Miss Qin, I know a thing or two about feng shui and metaphysics. If you are looking to improve the feng shui of your home, I'm afraid these antique shops don't have what you need."
Seeing Qin Kexin searching intently through the shop, Ye Chen, who was standing to the side, reminded her.
"You know how to read feng shui?"
Qin Kexin looked surprised.
She hadn't known Ye Chen for very long.
Last time, a snake had crawled into her house somehow, scaring her half to death.
Ye Chen just happened to be patrolling the residential complex and rushed over after hearing her scream.
After he helped her deal with the snake, that was how the two of them met.
"That's right, I have plenty of skills; working as a security guard was just a temporary way to get settled."
Ye Chen curled his lips into a wicked, charming smile.
Get close to a woman, then pique her curiosity—this was his signature technique for picking up girls.
[Indeed, "plenty of skills"? You're a damn fraud. You only became a security guard specifically to pick up women.]
[I can't believe you actually thought of this: throwing a snake into someone's home just to play the hero and save the damsel. I've never seen anyone as shameless as you.]
[If it weren't for your wicked schemes, would the Qin Family's feng shui have had any problems? You have the nerve to stand here and act; it's a waste of talent that you aren't in the movies.]
[And you're building a harem everywhere you go. If you love cheating so much, why don't you go take up ballet?]
Hidden in the corner, Tang Yu heard the two talking and silently roasted them in his heart.
Qin Kexin, who was busy selecting antiques, suddenly heard a series of voices and couldn't help but freeze in surprise.
She looked around, but she didn't see anyone standing near her speaking.
However, after hearing the voice, she felt it sounded somewhat familiar.
Did it belong to an old acquaintance?
What concerned her even more was that the content of these few sentences was simply too much to process.
Throwing a snake into her own home to stage a rescue?
The feng shui problems at the Qin Family estate were also his doing?
She knew very well that these words were all pointing directly at Ye Chen, who was standing right beside her.
She couldn't help but glance at Ye Chen, a flash of suspicion crossing her eyes.
Was this guy, who looked so harmless, truly the culprit behind all of this?
Or had she just not been resting well lately, leading to mental exhaustion and auditory hallucinations?
Ye Chen saw Qin Kexin staring blankly at him and thought she must be captivated by his handsome face.
He smiled even more confidently and spoke up.
"Miss Qin, based on my observations, there is definitely a feng shui issue in your home that has attracted malevolent energy."
"It's not realistic to expect these antiques to improve your feng shui. How about this? I have an Amulet here; take it back and wear it to see if it improves the situation."
After saying this, he pulled a yellow Amulet from his pocket and looked at Qin Kexin.
"I learned how to make this Amulet from a master; it took me three months to craft. As long as you wear it, it will surely protect you from being invaded by malevolent energy."
[You don't even draft your lies before telling them. It took you three months to make this thing? You could knock it out in three minutes.]
[You just need to scribble some nonsense on it; the key is that it requires your blood.]
[Who else but you created that malevolent energy? With your blood on it, naturally, the energy won't attack her.]
[Sigh, poor, foolish Qin Kexin is being taken for a ride, deceived to the point of no return, thinking this man is her Prince Charming sent by the heavens to save her.]
Upon hearing the voice once again, Qin Kexin was finally certain that this was definitely not an auditory hallucination!
Someone was speaking to her, but it seemed as though only she could hear this voice.
She didn't know what was going on.
But at this moment, she felt a surge of anger.
If all of this was true, then she wouldn't be polite!
However, she wouldn't rush to show her hand before she had gathered evidence.
