My Silly, Sweet Wife

Shanzi had a blank look on his face. He had no idea who the suddenly appearing Ye Guichen was, but seeing Huang Mao so afraid of Ye Guichen, he quickly nodded in agreement.

Ye Guichen and his group didn’t stay long and soon left the small courtyard.

After Ye Guichen and Li Ruoxuan left with their companions, Shanzi couldn’t help but ask, ”Brother Huang Mao, who was that guy? From the way he speaks, he seems even more impressive than Brother Leopard’s sister?”

Huang Mao kicked Shanzi. ”What do you know! Even Boss Zhao, Zhao Wuji, has to keep his head down when speaking to him. Do you think you can pry into his identity?”

”Huh?” Shanzi was dumbfounded.

His biggest wish in life was to become Zhao Wuji’s lackey and to ride on Zhao Wuji’s coattails. But he never expected that the big shot in his eyes would treat Ye Guichen, who seemed only a few years older than him, with such respect?

”Then, what should we do?” Shanzi asked tremulously.

Huang Mao sighed. ”What else can we do? Even if we have to dig three feet into the ground, we have to find that person.”

Huang Mao knew Ye Guichen wasn’t joking around with him.

If they couldn’t find that person, he feared breaking a leg would be the least of his worries.

In the van, Li Ruoxuan had somewhat calmed down.

She several times wanted to open her mouth to ask, but hesitated and didn’t speak.

Ye Guichen glanced at Li Ruoxuan as if seeing through her thoughts. ”You want to ask how we can find that person?”

Li Ruoxuan nodded.

She had no experience with such matters and didn’t know what to do next.

Ye Guichen smiled. ”Sometimes people like Huang Mao, those small-time thugs, are the most useful. Push them a bit, and they’ll go to any lengths to find someone. Don’t worry, within 24 hours, we’ll definitely find that person.”

”Can it really be done?” Li Ruoxuan was still incredulous.

Ye Guichen turned to look out the window. ”The most important thing for you now is to go back and take care of Li Bao, soothe his mind. When we find the person, if you want to handle matters yourself, I’ll go with you.”

Li Ruoxuan looked at Ye Guichen puzzled. ”Why are you helping me so much?”

”Because Li Bao is one of my people.” Ye Guichen said nonchalantly.

Li Ruoxuan didn’t understand what he meant, but everyone in the Heavenly God Temple knew that Ye Guichen was fiercely protective of his own people.

Anyone who dared to mess with his people would be on the receiving end of his unstoppable rage.

Meanwhile, at Zuichunxiao Bath Center.

Zhao Wuji stared at the pudgy, middle-aged man in a suit in front of him and spoke blandly, ”Is everything taken care of?”

The middle-aged man hastily nodded, his face full of flattery. ”Yes, yes, everything’s done, Boss. Rest assured, this time it’s been done flawlessly.”

”How about over at Black Panther’s side?” Zhao Wuji continued to ask.

The middle-aged man smiled obsequiously. ”At that time, Black Panther’s car was almost destroyed. The truck driver died on the spot. Even if Black Panther got sent to the hospital, there’s no way he could survive unless a miracle happens.”

”Alright, since that’s the case, you should leave Yun City as soon as possible.” Zhao Wuji waved his hand. ”Remember, don’t come back until I tell you. Understand?”

”Hehe, understood.” The middle-aged man grinned, rubbing his hands. ”Boss, I gave the truck driver a million yuan, and to avoid trouble, I gave the intermediary another half a million. This money...”

”What, you still want to ask me for money for doing something for me?” Zhao Wuji’s face darkened, displeased.

The smile on the middle-aged man’s face froze. Seeing Zhao Wuji’s sharp gaze, he hurriedly shook his head. ”Boss, no, no, no, that’s not what I meant. How could I ask for money for doing something for you? Hehe, if there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.”

”Get out!” Zhao Wuji waved impatiently.

However, as the middle-aged man left, his face turned grim. ”Damn it, making me lose over fifty thousand yuan. You shouldn’t be called Old Bald Zhao; you should be called Stingy Zhao.”

Though angry, he didn’t dare say more.

He was just a middleman. He originally thought that giving Cui Yi five hundred thousand would allow him to get more money from Zhao Wuji. After all, once he left Yun City, no one could do anything to him.

But he didn’t expect Zhao Wuji to be so indifferent, pushing everything onto him and not cashing the empty check he provided.

Losing fifty thousand yuan for nothing, and taking on risk.

”Ah, I wouldn’t have taken on this mess if I’d known.” The middleman’s name was Gao Ming, a small construction contractor. Back in the early days when Black Panther was just starting out, he had clashed with Black Panther multiple times.

Black Panther was ruthless, forcing Gao Ming to kneel and beg for mercy, eventually leading him to bankruptcy.

Since then, Gao Ming had hated Black Panther and had always thought of taking revenge.

Unexpectedly, this time, Zhao Wuji sought him out, saying he’d arranged an incident to help him get revenge.

Gao Ming didn’t even think twice before agreeing, thinking it was both revenge and that he had nothing left to lose in Yun City. Hugging Zhao Wuji’s big tree would only benefit him.

But he didn’t expect Zhao Wuji to be so stingy.

Feeling dejected, Gao Ming left the bath center and swaggered over to a bar, preparing to get drunk before leaving.

As Gao Ming entered the bar, Huang Mao was frantically looking for Gao Ming’s whereabouts.

Ye Guichen gave him an ultimatum, and he didn’t dare disobey.

Fortunately, living at the bottom of society, while Huang Mao didn’t have many underlings, he had a lot of random informants.

Especially like those juvenile delinquents like Shanzi, many people flattered him. Once they heard Huang Mao was looking for someone, they all rushed forward to run errands for him.

...

After Ye Guichen dropped Li Ruoxuan off at the hospital to take care of Li Bao, he went to the herbal medicine wholesale market again.

Although Yun City was just a third-tier city, it’s complete with all necessary facilities, especially the herbal medicine wholesale market, which was a big attraction.

Despite approaching dusk, the market was bustling with people and continuous shouts, a lively scene.

Many merchants have herbal medicine shops and in-house traditional Chinese medicine doctors, so not only do people come here to buy herbs wholesale, but many also come for treatment.

Originally, with Ye Guichen’s ability, finding out who was behind the attack on Black Panther was only a phone call away, but seeing Li Ruoxuan’s state, he had a mind to test if she really wanted to take over Black Panther’s position.

Moreover, Li Ruoxuan’s performance also somewhat surprised Ye Guichen.

Her calmness and decisiveness in her eyes made Ye Guichen feel that she could be cultivated.

Most importantly, it was Li Ruoxuan’s own decision.

”I wonder how Master is doing?” Ye Guichen suddenly thought of Li Fengxian and sighed.

Though he was the senior officer of the Heavenly God Temple and had never told Li Fengxian.

Ye Guichen knew Li Fengxian was surely aware of what he was doing outside.

However, Li Fengxian never intervened, knowing it wouldn’t help even if he did.

Unconsciously, Ye Guichen had been in Yun City for more than a month and suddenly missed his eccentric master.

Lost in thoughts, Ye Guichen walked into a Chinese herbal medicine store called Yunji Hall.

Just as he entered the door, a clerk greeted him. ”Sir, are you here to buy medicine or see a doctor?”
