In the following days, Ye Ming confined himself to his room for self-reflection. He did not beco arrogant after defeating a Post Grandmaster. His mind constantly replayed the details of the fight with Lin Zhongyuan, drawing lessons from the experience.
It was known that although his strength had improved, his combat experience was far from adequate compared to others. Working in isolation was not advisable.
Three days later, Scarface and Qin Tianyu paid him a visit together, reporting the earnings of the past few days.
In just those three days, they had reaped considerable benefits.
Thanks to Ye Ming’s own advertising efforts, his reputation, and the strong impression he made, the business of Herbal Pills and Amulets had peaked.
Everyone had collected down paynts of over fifty million, and those who had paid the down paynts dared not rush Ye Ming to deliver, indicating they were willing to wait.
Nevertheless, Ye Ming estimated roughly that he would need to work round the clock for three days and nights to fulfill these orders.
So, Ye Ming hurriedly called a halt, saying, "Let’s hold off on these two items for now. The volu is too much for to handle. I need you guys to help find so valuable dicinal herbs or use them as a ans of trade in exchange for Herbal Pills and Amulets."
Ye Ming thought it was the most prudent approach.
What he needed more urgently were precious dicinal herbs to make stronger Herbal Pills.
Having money at hand was a waste if it couldn’t be put to good use.
Qin Tianyu had no objections; his sole purpose was to please Ye Ming. Whatever Ye Ming said, he would do.
However, Scarface had so reservations and tentatively asked, "Brother Ming, what if you teach how to make these Herbal Pills? I see you’ve been busy with official duties lately, and you need to delegate this kind of work. Otherwise, your health will suffer."
"We have many brothers under us. With everyone contributing, we can take a lot of the burden off you, can’t we?"
On the surface, he seed concerned, but in his heart, Scarface was thinking, if he could master the thod of making the special Herbal Pills, he could produce as many as he wanted. Not only could he satisfy his internal consumption, but he could also et the market demand—a classic win-win situation.
The gang was just getting back on its feet and needed money desperately. Ye Ming might not be in a hurry, but Scarface was extrely anxious.
But before he could finish speaking, a sharp dagger was already pressed against his neck, and Lin Bingqing’s cold voice ca through, "If you don’t want to die, drop that thought. Don’t even think about stealing my master’s formula."
Scarface showed an innocent expression and quickly explained, "Brother Ming, I absolutely didn’t an that. Please don’t misunderstand."
"I truly do care about your health. If you don’t want it, then pretend I never said it!"
Ye Ming glanced at him disdainfully, not bothering to listen to his explanation, and said indifferently, "What she said is what I wanted to say to you."
He never demanded that Scarface be utterly obedient to him; they were rely using each other. But if Scarface harbored other thoughts, Ye Ming would not hesitate to take him out and replace him.
Scarface instantly broke into a cold sweat and quickly nodded, not daring to utter another word of nonsense.
He was astonished at the skill Lin Bingqing had displayed.
Having not seen her for just a few days, Lin Bingqing’s strength seed to have risen by more than one level, rendering him completely incapable of resistance. If Lin Bingqing had truly intended to kill him just now, his death would have been certain.
Qin Tianyu, on the other hand, had also noticed the issue and, although he didn’t say anything, felt shocked inwardly. He understood that as long as he followed Ye Ming, Ye Ming would not let him down.
During these days, Xu Lele had not been idle either. She had always been bothered by her inability to help last ti.
So this ti, she sent out her spies to investigate the truth behind the events, to help Ye Ming clear up the aftermath.
She had taken to heart the advice Xu Xincheng previously gave her, so she felt compelled to act.
After her investigation, she learned the entire story.
When she found out the truth that Li Dazhuang and the Chen Family had colluded, offering a hefty price to hire killers to end Ye Ming’s life, Xu Lele beca extrely angry.
She was a mber of the Xu Family, after all. They treated her boyfriend this way without considering her, and if she didn’t vent out this anger, Xu Lele would find no peace.
Therefore, she imdiately mobilized all of her resources and used all her connections to target the Chen Family.
When Miss Xu of the Xu Family moved against the Chen Family, all the influential people in Hai City joined in, hoping to seize the opportunity to ingratiate themselves with the Xu Family.
Within just one day, all the industries under the Chen Family suffered varying degrees of setbacks.
Their core businesses, real estate and entertainnt, had been hit hard, beyond recovery.
Chen Bin looked as if all strength had been drained from him, slumping powerlessly on the sofa, already resigned to defeat.
"It seems that I was truly mistaken this ti. We should not have provoked Ye Ming anymore," he said with an aged look that pained Chen Feng to see. Chen Feng reassured him quickly, "Dad, you mustn’t say that!"
"The Xu Family’s influence has withdrawn from Hai City. Only a few bootlickers still want to please the Xu Family. We need to show a firm stance, to be strong."
Chen Bin helplessly shook his head, "It’s useless. It’s all over. The Chen Family’s decades of foundation have been destroyed in an instant."
Seeing his father’s disheartened state, Chen Feng clenched his teeth and angrily punched the wall repeatedly, cursing, "That bastard Ye Ming, that beast, it’s all because of him ddling. If not for him, Xu Lele would have already been in my bed by now, and the Xu Family would have been tightly bound to us, the Chen Family. But now, we’ve been backed into a corner!"
"I can’t accept this!"
Chen Bin sighed, "What good is that? Victors thrive, losers suffer. You should understand this. What we need to do now is accept it. Son, you’re still young, the future of the Chen Family is yours to take."
"A true strong person is not afraid of failure. They rise with every fall. But I’m old, and don’t have the ti anymore."
"Now that Miss Xu will not see , I have no choice but to swallow my pride and ask the Qin Family to step in and speak on our behalf. They surely won’t let us father and son beco destitute!"
After these two struggles, Chen Bin had exhausted too much energy. Nearly being killed by Ye Ming last ti had severely drained his vital energy, and with the Chen Family’s businesses destroyed, he was completely unable to hold on any longer.
"No way!" Chen Feng suddenly exclaid, "Dad, rest for now. I’ll think of a way. This ti, I must make Ye Ming pay a painful price! I refuse to believe he is invincible. Every person has a weakness, and I’ll find it!"
"I’ll make him kneel and beg !"
