Urban Martial Saint

Zhao Chengshuang had arranged police protection for these individuals to retrieve the documents mainly because he wanted to preempt any tricks from Pi Junchao, as he could tell that Pi Junchao was not taking it lightly.

At the same time, this move was also a warning to Pi Junchao, if you’re thinking about any tricks, I could wipe you out at any moment.

Zhao Chengshuang now held high prestige within the Shenchuan City police department, and summoning a team was a matter of minutes. In less than twenty minutes, a team of over thirty police officers appeared outside the discotheque, which discouraged Pi Junchao from making any sudden moves.

Under the escort, or perhaps pressure, of these police officers, these people had no choice but to bring out the documents for the twelve venues and signed the transfer contracts inside Pi Junchao’s venues.

Seeing everyone else had signed the contracts, Pi Junchao had no choice but to sign the contract resentfully. His heart was bleeding, wishing he could slap himself for ever inviting Ye Qing and Zhao Chengshuang to this meeting.

After checking that there was nothing unusual with the contracts, Zhao Chengshuang even shook hands with Pi Junchao, smiling and saying, ”Boss Pi, from now on, all debts between the Fierce Tiger Gang and Poisonous Mantis are cleared. How does it feel to be debt-free? Haha, it’s so much better this way, and it doesn’t hurt the camaraderie among your brothers.

Alright, I won’t disturb your meeting any longer, we’ll be going now!”

Pi Junchao, with a mournful expression, escorted Ye Qing, Zhao Chengshuang, and the others out, and when he returned to the private room, the others had also dispersed. Looking at the empty room, Pi Junchao’s seemingly gentle face slowly twisted. He slammed his fist hard on the table, gritting his teeth and saying, ”Ye Qing, Zhao Chengshuang, you’re ruthless.

One day, I will get back everything with interest!”

Zhao Chengshuang knew that Pi Junchao was certainly not happy, but he didn’t take it to heart. With Pi Junchao’s current situation, it would take him at least half a year to unify the Fierce Tiger Gang. After six months of turmoil, the strength of the Fierce Tiger Gang would certainly decline significantly.

Even if Pi Junchao had the capability, it would take him years to restore the Fierce Tiger Gang to its peak strength. During these years, Pi Junchao would have to focus solely on running the Fierce Tiger Gang, daring not to make any other moves as the gang couldn’t afford more turmoil.

By the time he restored the gang’s strength, Zhao Chengshuang might be in a completely different position, no longer needing to care about the Fierce Tiger Gang.

Zhao Chengshuang excitedly flipped through those twelve contracts several times. The contracts transferred the venues to Ye Qing’s name, meaning, from now on, all twelve venues were Ye Qing’s properties.

These twelve venues included luxurious nightclubs, discotheques, bars, and a four-star hotel. The fact that these venues were highly coveted by various gangs underscored their importance and profitability. Together, they were worth undoubtedly over two hundred million. In other words, within the duration of this meeting, Ye Qing had transformed from a guy worth a few hundred to a multimillionaire.

And all this had been achieved under the scheme planned by Zhao Chengshuang. He knew better than anyone the intrigues among the gangs in Shenchuan City and masterminded this whole scenario to give Ye Qing a huge advantage.

In fact, Zhao Chengshuang was manipulating circumstances to his favor. Using the eighty million from Poisonous Mantis, he acquired these twelve venues for Ye Qing without investment, capitalizing on the fearsomeness of Poisonous Mantis and the strategies of Ye Qing to intimidate the members of the Fierce Tiger Gang, and utilizing their internal conflicts to secure these venues effortlessly.

Handing over the contracts for the twelve venues to Ye Qing, Zhao Chengshuang smiled and said, ”Ye Zi, starting today, you are also a tycoon in Shenchuan City, and from now on, it’s me who will be mooching meals off you. Let me tell you, don’t even think about being stingy.”

Ye Qing looked at the twelve contracts and said, ”These properties are still Huangfu Ziyu’s, I’m just earning the commission.”

”Damn, you’re such a clever guy usually, how come your brain doesn’t function in these situations?” Zhao Chengshuang said, ”Poisonous Mantis only wanted your help in retrieving the eighty million, she only wants the money. You just need to give her the money, you don’t have to worry about anything else.

Let me tell you, you could sell half of these twelve venues and it would cover the eighty million. Pay Poisonous Mantis and you still get to keep six venues. With the income from these six venues, you can consider yourself a multimillionaire, and you could support any kind of orphanage you want to open.

By then, not only orphanages, even if you want to open shelters or relief centers, it won’t be a problem!”

Ye Qing fell silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, ”These twelve venues were used to settle debts. The debt belongs to Poisonous Mantis, so these twelve venues should belong to her. She asked me to help her collect the debt because she trusts me, and I cannot betray her trust. These twelve venues should be handed over to Poisonous Mantis for her to handle, I’ll just take my commission.”

”Damn, you stubborn mule!” Zhao Chengshuang was nearly driven mad, turning to Black Bear and saying, ”Xiong Zi, try to convince your captain, who in their right mind gives away money that they’ve finally gotten their hands on?”

This time, unusually, Black Bear agreed with Zhao Chengshuang, saying, ”Captain, Cheng Shuang is right. There are too many orphans in the world, and if you open an orphanage, you can’t just take care of that one batch of kids, you can’t ignore future ones. Without a stable income, how will we support the orphanage?”

”A man’s promise must be honored, once said it must be kept,” Ye Qing looked at Black Bear and said, ”Even if we’re short on money later, we’ll just have to work hard to earn it. Betraying someone’s trust, how would we then stand in society? Xiong Zi, even if we’re really short on money, we can’t resort to dishonest means!”

”Damn, how does that become dishonest?” Zhao Chengshuang angrily said, ”I’m just looking out for you, Ye Zi. Did we really go through all this trouble tonight just to do a job for Poisonous Mantis? If I had known, we should have just asked for eighty million outright, why offend so many people? How can you waste all my efforts like this?”

”This is a matter of principle!” Ye Qing looked at the twelve contracts in his hand and continued, ”If these venues could sell for more money, then my commission would also be higher, making our efforts tonight worthwhile. Anyway, Cheng Shuang, I really thank you!”

”I should be thanking you for letting me practice my eloquence!” Zhao Chengshuang huffed and turned his head, unwilling to even glance at Ye Qing again. He could never agree with Ye Qing on this matter.

The three of them had different thoughts. Although Black Bear very much wanted to keep these venues, he absolutely obeyed Ye Qing’s orders. If Ye Qing said not to take them, then he wouldn’t take them.

Zhao Chengshuang could never understand why Ye Qing so valued his promises, and he didn’t think it was a breach of promise. After all, the money due to Poisonous Mantis was still paid, and using this opportunity to make some money was not a big deal.

Upon returning home, Ye Qing found the number Poisonous Mantis had left, called her, and reported the situation here. He also asked when she would send the contracts to her.

Huangfu Ziyu was silent for a while and then said, ”I only want eighty million. After deducting your commission, that leaves sixty-four million. There are still a day and a half left in the three-day deadline. Within this day and a half, you just need to give me sixty-four million!”

After speaking, Huangfu Ziyu hung up the phone directly. She was sitting on the sofa, listening to her servants report the recent revenue of several venues. Now, she suddenly seemed to lose interest and waved her hand to dismiss her subordinates.

Huangfu Ziyu fell silent for a while and then asked softly, ”Tianfu, what do you think of this Ye Qing?”

The dwarf Tianfu, sitting below her, pondered upon hearing this and said, ”Considering how he risked his life to save others, he can certainly be described as loyal and courageous. Moreover, his actions in saving those children and disabled people can be said to be kind and righteous. Overall, he deserves to be called a truly benevolent and righteous man!”

”Truly benevolent and righteous,” Huangfu Ziyu nodded slightly and said, ”Tianfu, it has been a long time since you have praised a young man like this.”

”Most young ones these days are too impulsive, and not many deserve these four words.” Tianfu paused, then spoke softly, ”Miss, was it him who called earlier? Did he get the money back?”

”Not exactly gotten back…” Huangfu Ziyu recounted how Ye Qing had settled the accounts using those venues.

After listening, Tianfu was stunned for a while and then suddenly clapped his hands, ”Those twelve venues are worth nearly two billion. He only needs to sell half of them to make the eighty million. He didn’t swallow them himself but chose to give them all to us. Keeping his word even at the risk of death, that’s truly a great man’s act!”

Huangfu Ziyu nodded and said, ”This person might be lacking in strength, but he is genuinely a man.”

Tianfu spoke softly, ”With his character, he may have a hard time adapting to this era. In such a time, without a bit of cunning, it’s hard to survive!”

”I don’t think so.” Huangfu Ziyu shook her head and said, ”Such a person, either could be crushed by the times, completely defeated, or be favored by the times and stand tall.”

Tianfu was silent for a while and then said, ”Miss, you think too highly of him, I’m afraid he might disappoint you.”

”Northern Fist King placed his only hope on him, never considering disappointment; why can’t I take a gamble?” Huangfu Ziyu’s lips curled with a thrilling smile and said, ”I’m still young, I can afford to gamble a few more times. If he can change the situation in Xi Hang, then this gamble of mine would be considered a win.”

Tianfu didn’t speak anymore; he understood the responsibilities Huangfu Ziyu bore and that she had to take multiple gambles.

”I gave him these twelve venues, but whether he can make a name for himself in Shenchuan City with them, that depends on his own fate,” Huangfu Ziyu leaned back in the sofa, her face, queenly and stunning, finally showing a hint of fatigue.

She gently closed her beautiful eyes, and as if in a dreamy whisper, she softly said, ”I hope he won’t disappoint me.”
