Chapter 546 - 546: Ye Shaoxian’s Ruthlessness
“Is Madam angry?” Zhuang Ling asked. He and the others were completely baffled. Not just them, even Ye Nanshen himself was utterly confused.
“Retreat. Let’s pretend today’s incident never happened. Withdraw all Rong Holdings personnel and hand over their duties to Sevenfold Venture Group’s people.”
“Yes, master.” Zhuang Ling replied. He glanced worriedly at Ye Nanshen, still in pain, and shook his head in disbelief. It seemed their playful banter had gone a bit too far.
Meanwhile, Shangguan Ze saw a confident Rong Qi emerging just ten minutes later. Without her mask, she exuded an air of authority. He looked anxious and asked, “Are you crazy letting so many people see you?”
Rong Qi replied, “It’s fine, I’ve subdued their leader.”
Shangguan Ze was baffled and asked for reassurance, “You’ve settled it already? Did Hades agree?”
Rong Qi shook her head and said, “He didn’t, but after I gave him a good beating, he complied. This afternoon, go and take over the Rong Holdings. Sevenfold Venture Group will return to the country in a few days.”
Shangguan Ze, puzzled by Rong Qi’s casual demeanor, nodded and led the retreat. Shangguan Ze believed whatever method Rong Qi used to make Hades yield, as long as he relented, it was good for them.
After the meeting, Rong Qi and Shangguan Ze went to handle the aftermath.
Elsewhere, in a high-end hotel in the capital, Ye Shaoxian sat on a sofa, his face dark and brooding. He asked, “Did you find that crazy woman?”
Ye Shaoxian’s subordinate hesitated, indicating something unsaid. He exploded in anger, “Are you mute?”
The subordinate nervously presented a stack of newspapers, “Master Xian, this woman… seems to be the daughter of the King of Rough Jadeites.”
“Who is this King of Rough Jadeites? Is he more powerful than the Ye family?” Ye Shaoxian didn’t even glance at the newspapers, accustomed to getting his way since childhood. He had just returned to the country and was already beaten up. He certainly couldn’t tolerate that.
The subordinate cautiously added, “The King of Rough Jadeites, Sheng Jian, is someone even the old master respects. Even Master Chen doesn’t dare to provoke him lightly. Here’s the video from the auction.”
Ye Shaoxian watched the footage on a tablet, his expression darkened as he watched. He thought, ‘Even if she isn’t Sheng Jian’s daughter, she was under his protection. Getting revenge just got harder.’
“Keep an eye on her.” Ye Shaoxian ordered.
“Master Xian, Master Chen instructed us to watch over you. He’s in a crucial phase of suppressing the Master Shen and controlling the Ye family. We can’t afford any mishaps.”
Ye Shaoxian, annoyed by those restrictions, threw the tablet at his subordinate and roared, “What does him controlling the Ye family have to do with me? If I tell you to watch, you watch! Am I supposed to just take this beating for nothing?”
The subordinate, not daring to anger Ye Shaoxian further, left to report to the Ye Shaochen. If anything went wrong because of Ye Shaoxian, the subordinate couldn’t imagine the fallout.
Alone in the hotel, Ye Shaoxian finally picked up the newspaper. Looking at the photo, he sneered, “Lucky her. But so what? Could anyone be more formidable than Ye Nanshen? I dared to scheme against Ye Nanshen and these people were nothing to me..”
