“This is not about admitting defeat, but rather a strategic retreat. Besides, you have the Zhou family and Huaxia’s mysterious force backing you up. Chen Baoguo won’t dare to touch you!”

She had thought that her persuasion would be effective, but Ye Chen simply smiled and said, “Why should I refuse such a good offer? Since he offered himself on a silver platter, I’ll gladly accept.”

Jin Lengyan’s face turned pale.

“Mr. Ye, Chen Baoguo became a grandmaster more than ten years ago! He’s been cultivating on Wuyi Mountain for so many years, and it’s even said that he obtained a powerful martial technique back then! He only hid on Wuyi Mountain because he did not want to be spied on while cultivating that technique. Even my father might not have the strength to deal with such an expert, let alone you!”

“You only have one life! Don’t be rash!”

In fact, were it not for Ye Chen’s medicinal pills a few days ago, she would not have come all the way here to persuade him.

She knew that Ye Chen was very powerful, and had even killed Jiang Wenlin easily. However, could Jiang Wenlin compare to Chen Baoguo?

One was earth, and the other was heaven!

“Mr. Ye…”

Jin Lengyan was about to say something when Ye Chen interrupted her, “I will accept the challenge!”

Jin Lengyan did not expect Ye Chen to be so persistent.

This was no different from courting death.

Once he stepped onto the martial arts stage, Ye Chen would be mercilessly crushed. Most importantly, Ye Chen had no acquaintances in the martial arts circle in River City. If Chen Baoguo were to use his influence on the referees…

Then he would not even have a chance of survival.

Jin Lengyan sighed and said goodbye to Ye Chen. She returned to the car and dialed her father’s number.

“Dad, this guy still wants to accept the challenge. Do we still try to help him?”

The person on the other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds before saying, “Arrange for a funeral company and prepare a good coffin for this kid. If we can’t repay him while he’s alive, we can at least give him a grand burial after he dies.”

“This…” Jin Lengyan’s expression changed slightly.

“Dad, isn’t that a little too much?”

“Too much? The Jin family has given him opportunities time and time again, but he has never cherished them. Also, I advise you not to involve yourself in Ye Chen’s affairs anymore. So what if this kid knows the source of those pills? This kind of person who doesn’t know how to stay low will not achieve anything!”‘

“Yes, Dad.”

Ye Chen soon arrived at the Heavenly Justice Group. Just as he was about to go upstairs, Ye Lingtian called.

“Hall Master, are you going to accept Chen Baoguo’s challenge?”

Ye Lingtian’s anxious voice was heard.

“This matter has already reached your ears?”

“Hall Master, Chen Baoguo is very powerful. His strength makes him worthy of at least being within the top 600 of the grandmaster rankings. Do you want me to send someone to kill him?”

“There’s no need for that. I can handle it.” Ye Chen said calmly.

“Hall Master, I heard that Chen Baoguo has a special martial arts technique. You can’t let our guard down!”

Before Ye Lingtian could continue, Ye Chen hung up.

As soon as she hung up, Zhou Zhengde called.

It was obvious that he was also calling about the challenge. Shortly after, Bai Libing, Zhu Rende, and Ye Chen’s other acquaintances all called as well.

No one was optimistic about Ye Chen’s chances, and wanted to persuade him to ignore the challenge.

Ye Chen was so angry that he almost smashed his phone. Damn it!

These people really thought so poorly of his strength?

Fortunately, Shen Haihua and Sun Yi did not know about this matter, and simply discussed the corporation’s matters with him.

At present, the Heavenly Justice Group was already negotiating with several pharmaceutical factories in River City for an acquisition. Once that was complete, their progress would be faster.

It was expected to be ready for production on the 1st of the following month.

“Mr. Ye, there’s a big problem we’re facing now. The medicines we produce are a little special, and it’s very troublesome to file for their approval with the authorities.”

“Even if the approval is successful, the confidentiality of the formula will likely be leaked once it is filed.”

Ye Chen thought about it and said, “Leave this to me. I’ll give you an answer by tonight.”

“Yes, Mr. Ye.”

Shen Haihua knew very well that without Ye Chen’s connections, the Heavenly Justice Group would not have an avenue to resolve these things.

As Sun Yi had to work overtime today, Ye Chen had to go back first. As soon as he stepped out of the door of the building, his phone rang again. It was an unknown number.

Ye Chen rejected the call immediately. It was probably someone who was going to spew the same useless advice about the challenge.

However, a few seconds later, it rang again. Helpless, Ye Chen picked up the call.

A low voice came from the other end of the line.

“Ye Chen, this is Ying Qing. Once you’re out of the door, head in the eight o’clock direction. There’s a white van there with its blinkers on.”

With that, he hung up.

Ying Qing?

This guy said that he would give me news in three days. How many days had it been since then?

Then again, at the moment, the Heavenly Justice Group did need help with the approval. Perhaps he would be able to rely on Ying Qing for this?

Ye Chen walked straight to the location that Ying Qing had mentioned.

Sure enough, there was an old-looking white van parked at the intersection.

Ye Chen opened the van door and got in after seeing Ying Qing sitting inside.

“I’m really sorry,” Ying Qing said apologetically.

“I was delayed by a mission these past few days. Let’s head over now. Do you have time?”

“Alright.” Ye Chen nodded.

Ying Qing gestured toward the rear view mirror, and a man with the buzz cut started the van and began to drive west of River City.

Half an hour later, after the van passed through layers of checkpoints, it stopped in front of a rather special building.

“Ye Chen, this access card is for you.”

Ying Qing handed a green card to Ye Chen and then instructed, “Follow me. When you see that person later, I hope you can restrain yourself.”

There was even a hint of threat in his words.

Ye Chen did not say anything. He could restrain himself, but if the other party went overboard, he could not be blamed.

Not long after, Ying Qing brought Ye Chen to a special meeting room. He knocked on the door and said from outside, “Reporting! Ye Chen is here!”

“Let him in.” A dignified voice came from the meeting room.

The door opened and Ye Chen walked in. Soon, he saw a middle-aged man in casual clothes with his back to him and his hands behind his back, looking out the window.

Although the other party did not make any moves, Ye Chen could tell that the other party was a martial artist, and not a weak one. Ye Chen even felt a hint of danger.

At this moment, the middle-aged man said, “Ye Chen, male, from River City in Jiangnan Province. His father is Ye Tianzheng, and his mother is Jiang Yurong. Five years ago, the family of three died in the tragedy at Cloud Lake Manor in River City. Five years later, Ye Chen came back from the dead and returned to River City as a grandmaster..”
