Free Web NovelChapter 270: Chapter 270: The Disciple Who Closed the Door _1
According to Qin Yuanyuan’s account, the other party seemingly intended to use Wild Mountain Ginseng to put her in a difficult position.
This Mr. Zhou clearly harbored ulterior motives and had his sights set on Qin Yuanyuan.
Yet she naively thought that returning the medicinal herbs would bring the matter to a close, but men understand men best—this issue was definitely not going to be that simple. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
"Miss Qin, if I were this Mr. Zhou, I certainly wouldn’t let you off so easily. Even if you returned the items, he would pick faults to deliberately give you a hard time," Ye Ming said earnestly.
Upon hearing this, Qin Yuanyuan’s eyebrows immediately drooped, revealing a face filled with worry. After pondering, she felt that Ye Ming made sense.
"What should I do then?"
Ye Ming replied with an indifferent smile, "Considering I have nothing better to do, why don’t I just help you out? Come with me."
In the territory of Ningjiang City, there weren’t many people Ye Ming was afraid of.
Qin Yuanyuan spoke worriedly, "But... Mr. Ye, you might not know, this Mr. Zhou is very powerful, and he has a lot of backing as well. You have already helped me a lot, and I don’t want to drag you into this."
"You’d better run now!"
No sooner had Qin Yuanyuan’s words finished than the sturdy man lying not far away sneered with a smile, cursing, "Run? Do you think you can escape? Ningjiang City is only so big. You either board a plane and leave immediately, but if I’m not mistaken, there are no flights now!"
"Just now, I have reported everything as it happened to Mr. Zhou, and he will be here soon. They will make you pay a painful price! To the point of making you kneel and beg for mercy!"
Ye Ming responded with a calm smile and took Qin Yuanyuan’s hand, saying, "In that case, let’s not go. I’m quite curious to see what kind of person this Mr. Zhou really is."
Qin Yuanyuan was still very concerned. On the side, Lin Bingqing spoke up to reassure, "Don’t worry, Miss Qin. No matter how formidable Mr. Zhou is, he can’t be more formidable than my master."
"He is now the number one strongman in Ningjiang City, and no one dares to provoke him."
"How dare you brazenly boast! The number one strongman in Ningjiang City is clearly Master Long. Who do you think you are?" the burly man said maliciously.
Qin Yuanyuan also looked doubtfully at Ye Ming.
Being in the entertainment industry, she was not very aware of external affairs, unaware of the major upheaval that had happened in Ningjiang City before.
That was why she showed such a perplexed expression.
While she was lost in thought, suddenly, the roaring of engines could be heard.
Several vans appeared out of nowhere, quickly surrounding Ye Ming and the others.
The mythical Mr. Zhou finally showed his true colors—a portly middle-aged man with very ordinary looks but adorned with gold and silver, exuding the demeanor of a newly rich.
Following closely behind him were several black-suited bodyguards and a mysterious expert, dressed in a Taoist robe and completely covered.
"What a joke. I can’t believe someone dares to mess with Zhou Dalong’s people on the turf of Ningjiang City. Who are you to be so bold as to do so? State your name!" he demanded while fixing a lecherous gaze on Qin Yuanyuan, making no attempt to conceal his desire.
Qin Yuanyuan took a step back, instinctively hiding behind Ye Ming.
Zhou Dalong’s gaze flashed, and he stared at Ye Ming, asking, "It must be you, right? Kid, you’ve got guts, daring to stand up for her and oppose me?"
"Haven’t you heard of my name?"
Ye Ming looked at him with utter disdain, saying, "Mr. Zhou, right? To tell you the truth, I was the one who took the Wild Mountain Ginseng; it has nothing to do with Miss Qin. If you want to settle accounts, you can come to me."
"If you want money or need a favor, that’s fine, but there’s no need to trouble Miss Qin any further. Just come at me."
"You?" Zhou Dalong looked at Ye Ming with contempt, saying, "You really can’t afford it. As for the price, I’ve already said it—a hundred billion, not a penny less."
Qin Yuanyuan couldn’t help but say, "Mr. Zhou, everything has its market price; a piece of wild herb can’t possibly sell for that much. You shouldn’t deliberately make things difficult for others!"
Zhou Dalong laughed heartily, saying, "I’ve also said that I could not want a single penny. Just be with me, and I’ll write off this matter, never bringing it up again from today onwards. How about it?"
Qin Yuanyuan frowned, her face showing a clear look of disgust, "Mr. Zhou, please don’t make such jokes. If you really intend to harass me, I’ll have to call the police!"
Ye Ming also said, "Zhou Dalong, chasing girls should have some finesse, not this kind of forceful buying and selling. Miss Qin has already made her position clear to you; this approach of yours is a bit too much, isn’t it?"
"Arrogant!" Zhou Dalong sneered coldly, losing all patience with Ye Ming.
He simply thought of Ye Ming as a pretty boy at most, skilled with his hands, but not a challenging opponent.
His voice rose several decibels, saying loudly, "I, Zhou Dalong, do things this way. In Ningjiang City, I do as I please, and I reckon no one can control me, not even calling the police would be useful!"
"Since you’re both so adamant, then I won’t waste my words on you!"
Just as Zhou Dalong was about to make a move, the burly man lying on the ground urgently reminded, "Mr. Zhou, this kid is quite skilled. All of us brothers put together are not his match; you must be careful!"
Zhou Dalong smirked dismissively, "Skilled? What is he, anyway? Let’s just say he’s a muscle-bound tough guy. But can he compare to Master Long’s personal disciple, the number one powerhouse of Ningjiang City?"
"Master Wang is the cream of the young generation. He’s come all this way with me today just to deal with such troubles."
"You brat, just wait to kneel and beg for mercy. I’m all prepared to watch you get beaten into a cripple!"
After hearing Zhou Dalong’s words, the several burly men lying on the ground all displayed looks of shock.
"Could it be that the expert following Mr. Zhou is Master Long’s personal disciple?"
"Who would have thought Mr. Zhou had such clout to even bring him here."
"With Master Wang here, this guy is definitely finished!"
Although they had been beaten by Ye Ming to the point that they couldn’t stand, it didn’t stop them from making ruthless comments. frёewebnoѵēl.com
Believing that by bringing such an expert, Ye Ming was as good as dead, who else in Ningjiang City had the strength to compete with Master Long’s personal disciple?
"Personal disciple?" Upon hearing this long string of titles, a smile appeared on Ye Ming’s face.
He slowly asked, "This ’personal disciple,’ is he merely a disciple used for closing doors?"
