Ye Qing hadn't expected the three words "Tie Yongwen" to send Li Lianshan into such a rage. In reality, Ye Qing himself didn't have much of a reaction. This was because Ye Qing had spent too little ti in Shenchuan City; he had only heard of the legend of Tie Yongwen but was far from understanding what the na ant in Shenchuan City.
A legend that had been circulating for more than a decade, an invincible myth, a na that could strike terror into the heart of anyone involved in the underworld.
Just like Li Lianshan said, last ti when Tiger King captured Fang Tingyun and Mo Xiang, ntioning Tie Yongwen's na would have solved everything. There would have been no need for fighting and struggling because Tiger King most certainly wouldn't dare to offend Tie Yongwen.
No wonder Li Lianshan was so agitated — he wasn't angry, he was excited. Ye Qing had Tie Yongwen, a powerful figure, behind him. Without ntioning anything else, from now on, no one in Shenchuan City's underground forces would dare to cross Ye Qing.
Moreover, Tie Yongwen could represent the Ding Family. If the Ding Family supported Ye Qing as well, then Ye Qing could be considered favored by both the legal and illicit worlds. It would only be a matter of ti before he ascended to the peak of the underworld in Shenchuan City. How could Li Lianshan not be excited?
In fact, Li Lianshan was unaware that not only did he support Ye Qing, Elder Master Ding had also personally expressed his admiration for Ye Qing. Admiration here ant that he would support Ye Qing.
Furthermore, when Ye Qing was about to return to Jiuchuan County, Elder Master Ding had imdiately given him a number to use if the need arose, indicating that Elder Master Ding was truly supporting Ye Qing.
If Li Lianshan knew all this, considering his capacity to handle such shocking news, he would probably need to take so prompt heart relief pills. After all, the news was just too overwhelming!
Li Lianshan muttered, "Why didn't you say you knew him earlier, damn it, I'm as exhausted as a dog every day, going out and fighting with people. If I had known we had this connection, I could've just dropped a na and saved all the trouble. Why even fight?"
With an aggrieved look, Ye Qing said, "I... I just t him recently..."
Li Lianshan glared and retorted, "Damn, stop bullshitting. You've only t him recently, yet he's already offering to help you hold down these venues. Do you really think you're irresistible to all, both n and won?"
Ye Qing helplessly shrugged his shoulders, knowing explanations were futile at that mont, and waved his hand, "Let's not talk about that now. Li, I'll leave the managent of the venues to you, how about that?"
"Don't worry, as long as no one cos causing trouble, managing a venue is a piece of cake!" Li Lianshan paused, then added, "But when you're free, could you take
to et Old Master Tie? I'm telling you, ever since I heard about Old Master Tie, he's been my biggest idol. I've been thriving in Shenchuan City for all these years, but I've never had the chance to et him.
You have to make this dream co true for !"
Ye Qing hadn't expected Li Lianshan to be so starstruck, and he hastily agreed. If he didn't, Li Lianshan would probably grumble for hours, and even if Ye Qing returned to Jiuchuan County, Li Lianshan might well call him just to keep nagging about it.
Seeing Ye Qing agree, Li Lianshan suddenly acted like a kid, smiling goofily as he sat on the chair, already forgetting about everything else.
Ye Qing ignored him, turning to Black Bear, and said, "Black Bear, you stay in Shenchuan City to look after the venues here. Pay special attention to the orphanage, and be more vigilant. The locals there aren't very friendly. If there's any trouble, call Cheng Shuang directly!"
"Yes!" Black Bear crisply responded, choosing to obey Ye Qing's orders without question.
"Mad Dog, go get ready, find soone who can drive, and co with
to Jiuchuan County!"
Ye Qing had this arrangent in mind primarily because he wanted to leave soone behind in Shenchuan City who could firmly hold down the fort. Without a doubt, Black Bear was such a person, and Mad Dog was loyal and quick-witted, which would make conducting affairs convenient when returning to Jiuchuan County.
Mad Dog was sowhat embarrassed and said, "Big Brother, none of my brothers... besides , none of them know how to drive..."
"Do you want
to arrange a driver for you?" Li Lianshan shouted from the side.
After pondering for a mont, Ye Qing shook his head and said, "No need, Black Bear, call Da Fei and see if he's available."
By now, Da Fei was wholeheartedly devoted to Ye Qing. Receiving Black Bear's call, he imdiately agreed without hesitation. Plus, this guy had a driver's license, could drive, and was clever—working with Ye Qing was very convenient.
Having confird the candidate, Ye Qing gave a few more instructions for things in Shenchuan City and then imdiately set off on the journey. He even drove Li Lianshan's Land Rover, as the roads in Jiuchuan County were mountainous, making an off-road vehicle more practical.
Ye Qing and Mad Dog headed for Eryao Town. Da Fei was already waiting, tidy and carrying a bag. Seeing him like this, Mad Dog couldn't help but say, "Damn, we're not going on a vacation, why bring clothes? Just leave them at ho and buy a few more sets when we get there!"
"Ah?" Da Fei hesitated for a mont and said, "It's... is it okay? All my clothes here are wearable. Besides, buying new clothes would be quite expensive, right?"
Leaning out from behind, Ye Qing said, "Once we get to Jiuchuan County, I'll give you two thousand yuan to buy a few sets of clothes. Don't bother bringing these."
Da Fei was overjoyed, imdiately tossing his clothes back into the room and excitedly leaping into the car, exclaiming, "Big brother, Brother Gou, why are we going to Jiuchuan County? Is it fun there? I've never been there. Growing up, the farthest I've ever been is Shenchuan City, I haven't even been to the nearest cities!"
Ye Qing and Mad Dog were speechless. This guy really was a bumpkin, always cooped up here, no wonder he was so thrilled about going out.
On the road, Ye Qing gave him a rough run-down of what was happening at ho. After hearing Ye Qing's story, Da Fei beca righteously indignant and said, "Big brother, rest assured, leave this matter to . Once we get there, I'll buy a couple of knives and sort out whoever beat up our uncle first!"
"Would you just shut up!" Ye Qing snapped, "No matter what, they are still my uncles!"
"Ah, I... I forgot about that..." Da Fei awkwardly covered his mouth, thought for a while, and then said, "Then... then this is going to be difficult to handle!"
Ye Qing was also frowning. Matters involving family were truly difficult to resolve. However, Ye Qing had already prepared himself. If those uncles really wanted to play dirty, then Ye Qing was not going to regard them as relatives anymore!
The trip from Shenchuan City to Pingnan Province was not short; it would take a whole day by train. Driving was a bit faster, but even so, it wasn't until the next evening that they finally entered the territory of Pingnan Province. Fortunately, the three of them took turns driving and resting, which wasn't too tiring. However, sitting in a car for a long ti was never very comfortable.
Mad Dog alternated between driving and sleeping the whole way, while Da Fei seed curious about everything around him. He only slept for six hours, spending the rest of the ti gazing at the scenery outside, especially beautiful or unique landscapes, imdiately pulling out a point-and-shoot cara from who-knows-where to start taking pictures.
If not for his sloppy deanor, one might have mistaken him for a photographer.
Ye Qing, on the other hand, was worried the whole ti, anxious about his father's situation, which made his mood gloomy throughout the trip. They barely entered Dengyang City, and only then did Ye Qing's mood lighten a bit. With their current speed, they would reach Jiuchuan County in roughly two hours.
When Mad Dog woke up and saw Ye Qing driving, he whispered, "Big brother, you rest a bit, let
drive."
"No need!" Ye Qing shook his head and said, "We've already left the highway, this is a national road, you guys aren't familiar with these roads, it's better if I drive. We're about to reach Jiuchuan County, it's only a short distance, no problem."
Mad Dog nodded, sat down beside Ye Qing, and comforted him, "Big brother, Uncle Ye will definitely be fine. Fortune favors the brave, don't worry too much!"
Ye Qing sighed softly. He couldn't help but worry. His brother Ye Jun's life was uncertain, and the likelihood of death was even higher. With his father being in such a predicant, the two most important family mbers in his life were in danger. The fact that he was able to drive so calmly was already quite an accomplishnt.
If it were anyone else, they would probably be so anxious that they might have driven the car into a ditch by now.
"Big brother, what's that?" Suddenly, Da Fei, sitting in the back, pointed toward the road ahead and exclaid.
Ye Qing looked carefully and saw a man dressed in a police uniform ahead on the road, gesturing for them from a distance.
"It's the traffic police, telling us to stop," Mad Dog frowned and said in a low voice, "Big brother, you don't have a license, let
drive."
Ye Qing nodded, slowed down the car, and slid his seat back a bit. Mad Dog readied himself beside him, and suddenly, Ye Qing flipped over from his seat and Mad Dog smoothly jumped into the driver's seat, easily taking control of the steering wheel.
They had finished all this when they were still more than thirty ters away from the traffic officer, giving Mad Dog enough ti to pose and slowly stop the car in front of the police officer.
The traffic officer was a man in his thirties with a dark complexion. He ca over and casually glanced inside the car, and then glared at Mad Dog, saying, "Do you know you were speeding just now?"
Mad Dog didn't know if they had been speeding, but Ye Qing had indeed been driving anxiously and quite fast on this stretch of the road.
Mad Dog replied with a forced smile, "Big brother, I'm really sorry. There's a bit of an ergency at ho and I'm in a rush to get back. I didn't see the speed limit sign, I'm truly sorry."
The traffic officer glared at him and said, "Sorry for what? Speeding is speeding, that's a violation. What do you an? Just because you have an ergency at ho, you can break the law? Who made that rule?"
Mad Dog was extrely embarrassed, continuing with his ingratiating smile, "Big brother, I really am sorry. We've got a real ergency at ho, so I drove a bit hastily. Could you please resolve this quickly? I'm in a rush to go back, my dad's in the hospital."
"No matter how urgent it is, you must follow the procedure!" The traffic officer waved his hand impatiently and said, "Co, follow
to process the paperwork!"
"Process paperwork? What paperwork?" Mad Dog was astonished. In Shenchuan City, if you broke traffic laws you would just get a ticket; since when did you have to go through so procedure?
