Qin Qinghan also felt deep wariness and disgust towards Jiang Hao, this underground overlord. How could she possibly accept a gift from him?
Seeing that Qin Qinghan was unwilling to accept his gift, Jiang Hao looked at Ye Fengwu with an awkward expression.
Ye Fengwu knew Qin Qinghan would not accept it, so he said, "Since you've already opened it, my wife of course won't accept it. She's here today to discuss a project."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao immediately understood, and put away the car keys. He then said to one of his subordinates behind him, "Bring all the contracts for this project here and let sister-in-law pick whichever she wants."
"Okay, Boss Jiang," one of the subordinates hurriedly ran out.
But Qin Qinghan shook her head and lowered her eyes, saying, "No need, I...I don't want to sign anymore."
Ye Fengwu knew Qin Qinghan didn't want to owe him anything, but she didn't know this was him owing her.
So Ye Fengwu secretly signaled Jiang Hao with his eyes.
Jiang Hao hurriedly put on a pained expression and said, "Sister-in-law, if you don't sign, Boss Ye will definitely settle accounts with me later. The next time you see me, I'll probably be in a wheelchair."
After speaking, Jiang Hao also winked at the dozens of subordinates behind him.
Those subordinates immediately understood, and hurriedly started pleading with Qin Qinghan.
"Sister-in-law, please sign, have mercy on our Boss Jiang."
"Yes sister-in-law, if you don't sign, Boss Ye won't forgive Boss Jiang."
...
Dozens of subordinates pleaded with Qin Qinghan all at once, leaving her with mixed feelings. She had originally come to get Fenghao Engineering to sign a contract, but now Fenghao Engineering was the one begging her to sign instead, all because of Ye Fengwu, this dangerous and fearsome gangster.
Qin Qinghan was ultimately soft-hearted, and finally nodded.
Soon, the contract was brought over, but Qin Qinghan was not a greedy person. She only chose a project suitable for the Qin Group, but just completing this project would allow the Qin Group to earn a substantial sum.
Jiang Hao then personally took Qin Qinghan and Ye Fengwu to visit the construction site, allowing Qin Qinghan to inspect all aspects of the project.
Qin Qinghan was very diligent and meticulous in her work, so in order to take notes, she didn't even eat lunch. This left Jiang Hao no opportunity to treat them to a meal to apologize, and could only follow behind Qin Qinghan with his subordinates, starving.
Jiang Hao and Ye Fengwu walked behind and the former said in a low voice, "Boss Ye, why couldn't I find you in any of the prisons in and around Haihua City no matter how hard I looked?"
Hearing this, Ye Fengwu glanced at Qin Qinghan's back and said, "I'll tell you about this later."
Ye Fengwu had only been in the detention center for a month before being secretly taken into the special forces. Even now, he still didn't know who had gotten him out of prison, and why they had done it.
Seeing this, Jiang Hao guessed that Ye Fengwu didn't seem to want Qin Qinghan to know too much, so he asked again, "Is sister-in-law the girl who was drugged back then?"
Ye Fengwu nodded and said, "What have you been able to find out over the past eight years?"
Jiang Hao nodded and said, "It was Hei Feng's son Chen Sheng. You crippled his leg back then, so he planned the whole thing as revenge."
"And eight years ago, sister-in-law was the darling of the Qin family. We didn't have the power to contend with the Qins then, so Chen Sheng got sister-in-law's female classmate to ask her out singing, and then secretly slipped something into her drink."
"Not only did Chen Sheng bribe sister-in-law's few female classmates, he also bribed one of our own subordinates."
Ye Fengwu's expression was frighteningly gloomy. He coldly snorted, "So that's what happened. Xihou Hei Feng, it seems he should also be driven out of Haihua City."
That night, Ye Fengwu was singing and drinking with Jiang Hao and some other petty gangsters. Halfway through, a subordinate said he would introduce Ye Fengwu to a friend.
So Ye Fengwu hazily entered another room, empty of people. The subordinate told Ye Fengwu to wait a moment, then left himself.
After Ye Fengwu drank half a bottle of soda, he suddenly felt his whole body heat up. Right then, he saw a girl curled up in a dark corner.
The drug caused Ye Fengwu to lose his senses, but the girl did not resist at the time. Through the dim light, he could only see the tears on the girl's face.
After the girl left with her disheveled clothes, several uniformed men broke down the door and came in.
Thinking back now, he had clearly been set up. Chen Sheng, what a foolish Chen Sheng courting death.
Seeing Ye Fengwu's gloomy expression, Jiang Hao said, "The subordinate who betrayed us was fed to dogs by me. As for Chen Sheng and sister-in-law's female classmates, I haven't touched them yet."
Ye Fengwu nodded, then sneered, "No rush, now that I'm back... no rules can restrict me anymore."
Hearing this, Jiang Hao was stunned at first, then his eyes shone with fiery passion. The madman from those years... had finally returned.
Over the past eight years, Ye Fengwu had slowly become a military god, rising to the rank of major general at the young age of 26.
And without the army's restraints, Ye Fengwu would not have to follow any restrictions. So... let's start by rising in Haihua City first. After all, without power, it would be very passive for him to complete that secret mission.
...
At this moment, in a huge villa in Huaxia's capital city, a hale and hardy old man with white hair sat in a spacious room furnished with antique wooden furniture.
Although the man was aged, his pitch-black eyes were still bright, and his entire being exuded an awe-inspiring aura. It was evident he had been a military man.
In front of the old man stood a man in his forties, dressed in a black Zhongshan suit. He had an upright posture and handsome features.
These two were prominent figures in Huaxia. Although the old man was nearly eighty years old, he still held a senior military position in the Huaxia military.
He was Ye Zhengang, the Azure Dragon of Huaxia, one of the Five Tiger Generals.
The middle-aged man was named Ye Feng, Ye Zhengang's only son, and the Azure Dragon General's heir apparent.
Huaxia had five major military regions, led respectively by the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, and Qilin Five Great Generals, defending Huaxia's vast territory.
"Dad, he's been discharged from the military. Should we let them know over there?" Ye Feng respectfully said to the old man.
But Ye Zhengang shook his head and said, "He belongs to the Wolves special forces, an establishment outside of the five armies. Besides, at his level, no one can discharge him without a direct order from the top brass."
Hearing this, Ye Feng's handsome face was slightly astonished. He then said, "You mean he's on a mission?"
Ye Zhengang nodded, then sighed, "They actually sent Huaxia's most outstanding military god back to the city in secret. It seems this mission must be related to that organization."
Upon mention of that organization, a trace of worry appeared in Ye Feng's eyes. He then said, "Dad, they've gone too far. Even he... can't possibly match up to that organization."
Ye Zhengang sighed again, "We can't get involved, but we can give him some help appropriately. Also, isn't that Luo girl also in Haihua City?"
Ye Feng nodded and said, "She's currently chairman of a company, with assets of over 10 billion under her."
Hearing this, a trace of regret appeared in Ye Zhengang's eyes. He lamented, "What a pity, I heard the Luo girl is a great beauty, called the number one beauty in Huaxia. She was originally going to become my grandson's wife."
Ye Feng also looked distressed, then said, "Dad, do you regret abandoning him from the Ye family now?"
Hearing this, Ye Zhengang's brows furrowed as he solemnly said, "Feng'er, by taking that woman into the Ye family, you've already committed a grave taboo. If not for me still having some influence, our Ye family would have long been squeezed out from the Five Tigers."
"Moreover, that woman left alone, leaving her one month old son to you. This would undoubtedly make that organization violently target our Ye family, so sending him away was also for his own good."
"After all, that organization would never let the Holy Mother's son live in this world."
Ye Feng felt bitter in his heart, and his eyes were full of sorrow. He... because of love, he stayed with her, for her, he was willing to give up everything, do his best to protect her.
But he disappointed her. Not only did he fail to protect her well, but he couldn't even recognize his own son.
Ye Zhengang saw the bitterness in his son's heart and sighed, "Feng'er, give him some time. Maybe he can do what none of us can, then we can rightly take him back."
Ye Feng's face was even more bitter. He said, "By then, I'm afraid he won't recognize us."
Hearing this, Ye Zhengang's eyebrows were also furrowed. Twenty-six years ago, when he was still an infant less than a month old, he had mercilessly abandoned him.
All this was because of a pair of men and women who should not have loved each other. But that baby had to bear all the sins because of this pair of men and women.
Ye Feng said again, "He is the God of War in the army, my China's pride. But Luo Tianfei once said that his temperament is elusive and unconstrained. Without the army's restraint, who knows what crazy things he will do in the city. I just hope... he doesn't provoke those godlike humans."
