My Silly, Sweet Wife

When Ye Guichen left the bar, Zhao Taixui personally saw him out the door.

The two men had their arms around each other’s shoulders, looking like close brothers.

The people in the bar were all stunned.

Just a moment ago, they were fighting with murderous intent, but now they were so affectionate.

What was that guy up to?

Su Jiu’er, who had finally found the bar, expecting a big fight, was also confused.

She quickly stepped forward, ”What’s going on?”

”Oh, Brother Zhao, let me introduce you, this is Su Jiu’er.” Ye Guichen suddenly lowered his voice, ”She’s with Dragon Teeth.”

Zhao Taixui quickly stepped forward, grabbing Su Jiu’er’s hand, ”Miss Su, hello, nice to meet you, nice to meet you.”

He was exceedingly enthusiastic.

This scene naturally caught the eyes of Yongzi and the others sent by Lv Liang.

They exchanged glances, all looking peculiar.

They had wanted to see a good show of dogs biting dogs, how did it end up this way?

”Brother Ye, you can take my Lincoln back.”

These words made many jaws drop.

Anyone who knew Zhao Taixui knew he had two great loves.

Luxury cars and beautiful women.

His prized car was that Lincoln.

It had supposedly been with Zhao Taixui for many years, never letting anyone else touch it.

Now, he was letting Ye Guichen drive it back.

This seemed like a fairy tale.

The beauty, of course, was the red-skirted woman.

Though there were many women around Zhao Taixui, he had an unusually protective nature towards the red-skirted woman.

No one knew the reason.

But these two things seemed to crumble before Ye Guichen.

Ye Guichen waved his hand, ”Brother Zhao, you’re too kind. I’ll just take a cab.”

He hailed a cab, got in with Su Jiu’er, and waved goodbye as they left.

However, just after Ye Guichen left, Zhao Taixui’s gaze fell on a van not far away, and he gestured with his hand.

A few men rushed forward.

They dragged the people inside the van out, and began to punch and kick them.

The men screamed and begged for mercy.

Zhao Taixui stepped forward, grabbed Yongzi’s hair, and dragged him up, ”If Lv Liang wants to be a dog, I won’t stop him, but from today, I, Zhao Taixui, and Brother Ye are allies. If he dares show any disrespect to Brother Ye again, I’ll tear down his martial arts hall.”

He casually threw Yongzi to the ground.

Yongzi and his crew scrambled into the car and sped away, too scared to linger.

Ye Guichen had naturally noticed Yongzi and the others tailing him.

In the taxi, Ye Guichen’s playful smile had vanished, his brow furrowed.

Su Jiu’er’s beautiful eyes sparkled with curiosity, ”What exactly happened?”

”The situation here seems quite complicated.”

Ye Guichen spoke calmly.

Earlier, Ye Guichen did not hide his intentions, and pushed Duan Nanye of Dragon Teeth to the forefront.

With such a perfect shield in Dragon Teeth, Ye Guichen naturally used it without hesitation.

As soon as he heard the Dragon Teeth were involved, Zhao Taixui grew respectful and no longer concealed anything, explaining the general situation in Jinling to Ye Guichen.

Only then did Ye Guichen understand.

On the surface, Jinling didn’t seem complicated.

Since this was the base of Azure Dragon Commerce, the focus was on commerce.

More than half of the businesses had joined Azure Dragon Commerce.

It was no exaggeration to say that the entire financial chain of Jinling was probably controlled by Azure Dragon Commerce.

But the underworld was incredibly complex.

After all, the foundation here was deep, and there were hundreds of smaller and larger forces.

Martial arts halls also flourished.

Even Zhao Taixui was only considered upper-middle level, not top tier.

Recently, dozens of unknown masters appeared in Jinling.

They were ruthless and almost invincible.

Against tough opponents, they often resorted to ambushes or teamed up.

Against ordinary opponents, they killed with one strike.

Zhao Taixui had been harassed several times, but fortunately, he was prepared, though it was still a nuisance.

The ones controlling these masters were the Yin-Yang Face.

Zhao Taixui was clearly not high enough in rank to know the identity of Yin-Yang Face.

But Ye Guichen had a rough guess.

This Yin-Yang Face was very likely King Yan, who had pledged allegiance to Azure Dragon Commerce.

King Yan commanded hundreds of assassins, each of them top-notch even when dispersed.

Driven by profit, how could these assassins hold back?

This scheme was likely more than just pleasing Azure Dragon Commerce.

From what Ye Guichen knew of King Yan, he was probably using Azure Dragon Commerce to expand his own power.

If King Yan controlled the three provinces of Jiangnan, the result would be catastrophic.

Ye Guichen remained silent, his brow furrowed, pondering the next move.

Zhao Taixui could provide him with information, but against those top-level fighters under King Yan, he was of no help.

”Let’s go to Nandu Martial Arts Hall.”

After a while, Ye Guichen spoke.

Su Jiu’er was shocked, ”So late, why go to a martial arts hall?”

”To talk with Lv Liang.”

”About what?”

”We’ll see then.” Ye Guichen didn’t elaborate.

As things stood, Lv Liang had indeed become King Yan’s lackey.

Dealing with a lackey required targeting their master.

Ye Guichen intended to beat Lv Liang, forcing King Yan to reveal himself.

Finding King Yan otherwise would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

If he could force King Yan to appear, all the better.

They got off the taxi near Nandu Martial Arts Hall, and Ye Guichen and Su Jiu’er went to a nearby Lamian shop for a quick meal.

After paying, Ye Guichen wiped his mouth and asked Su Jiu’er to wait outside.

Su Jiu’er refused, ”I’ll go with you. If something happens, I can back you up.”

Ye Guichen shook his head, ”You represent Dragon Teeth. If a fight breaks out, there could be concerns, but I’m different.”

Remembering the provocations at Violet Bar, Ye Guichen felt confident about dealing with Lv Liang.

Su Jiu’er frowned, ”I’ll wait outside for you. If anything happens, I’ll rush in to support you.”

”Alright!” Ye Guichen smiled and entered Nandu Martial Arts Hall.

The hall was still open.

There were several training areas inside.

Yongzi and his group had returned before Ye Guichen.

They were all bruised and battered, complaining to Lv Liang.

Lv Liang frowned, his face dark.

He was displeased that Ye Guichen and Zhao Taixui had no conflict, as he had hoped.

”What did that guy do to make Zhao Taixui call him brother?” Lv Liang waved Yongzi and his group away and looked up to see someone entering the door. His pupils shrank, but his face quickly returned to normal.

”Haha, Brother Ye, what brings you to my martial arts hall?”

In an instant, Lv Liang put on a smiling face and quickly approached.

However, Lv Liang’s shout drew many curious glances from those in the hall.

Each face was unfriendly as if Ye Guichen was a lamb straying into a wolf’s den.
