Chapter 69

He... thinks I'm lying to him?

It took several seconds before Situ Ruoshui recovered from her shock, blinking her beautiful big eyes, her tender face filled with confusion.

In her view, Ye Fan's League of Legends skills were quite good, and he should be an old player. Even if he didn't know her, he should at least know the Barbie team, which represents the highest level in China, right?

"What a strange person."

Situ Ruoshui propped her chin in her hand, thinking for a long time but couldn't figure it out. She muttered to herself, then saw that it was almost one o'clock, quickly turned off the computer, and planned to take a shower and go to bed.

At the same time.

Ye Fan, in a short time, calmed his mind and entered a meditative state.

As Ye Fan entered the meditative state, vortices of air appeared around him. The airflow generated by the vortices enveloped his body, continuously rotating.

At this moment, Ye Fan seemed to have become the eye of the storm, creating a small whirlwind.

In the room, with each breath Ye Fan took, the airflow would rush into his nose, then, under his mental control, circulate along the 'Small Heavenly Cycle' route, permeating his meridians, tendons, skin, and internal organs, cleansing them like a furnace refining steel, purifying his body and expelling impurities.

Time passed minute by minute, and the blood and qi in Ye Fan's body gradually became more vigorous, generating a warm current. A series of vital energies quietly transformed into strength, but this strength did not flow into the dantian like it would for ordinary martial artists...

The dantian is the place to store strength!

Any martial artist, from the day they learn to meditate, will generate a seed of strength in the dantian. In the future, whenever strength is produced in the body during meditation, it will be drawn to the dantian as if called by the seed of strength there.

But Ye Fan was different!

It was visible that the strength converted from his blood and qi was divided into nine parts, each flowing to the nine major acupoints of the Small Heavenly Cycle, ultimately being stored in these nine acupoints...

If other martial artists saw this, they would probably be scared to death!

Because, this was equivalent to Ye Fan having nine dantians, with a strength storage capacity nine times that of ordinary martial artists at the same level!

...

In the Purple Gold Garden wealthy neighborhood.

Liu Qin, the top socialite of Hanghu, wearing a black nightgown, lay on a soft large bed, waiting for Qiao Bazhi to come to her.

In fact, in the past few days, she had not gone to the large nightclubs she managed. Every night, she would bathe early, put on the sexiest nightgown, and wait for Qiao Bazhi in bed.

She wanted to use her body to help Qiao Bazhi release the stress in his heart!

However—

In the past few days, Qiao Bazhi not only didn't touch her but didn't even have the mood to talk to her.

"Could... could Lord Ba be replaced?"

Looking at her full, alluring body, thinking about how Qiao Bazhi had treated her like air for the past few days, Liu Qin had a bad feeling.

As Qiao Bazhi's woman, she knew very well that Qiao Bazhi was sent to Hanghu by Lin Tianyi, the leader of Nanqinghong, with only one purpose: to kick the Donghai Gang out of Jiangnan!

At first, Qiao Bazhi completely used underworld methods, but after several bloody battles with the Donghai Gang, he found that both sides were evenly matched, so he changed his strategy, trying every means to connect with Han Guodong, planning to use both legal and illegal methods.

In the past half year, Qiao Bazhi had finally managed to connect with He Fenghua. A few days ago, he had even reached a cooperation agreement with He Fenghua—helping He Fenghua kill Ye Fan, and in return, He Fenghua would introduce him to Han Guodong.

Originally, Qiao Bazhi thought he was about to achieve great success, but he ended up losing both his wife and his army—failing to connect with Han Guodong, and even his ace, Wu He, had disappeared without a trace.

Under such circumstances, the pressure Qiao Bazhi faced was unimaginable!

He not only had to face the danger of the Donghai Gang's counterattack but also worry about Lin Tianyi, the leader of Nanqinghong, holding him responsible for this matter!

Thinking about it, Liu Qin secretly made a decision: if Qiao Bazhi was replaced, she would do everything in her power to become the woman of Qiao Bazhi's successor; otherwise, everything she had done in Hanghu would be in vain!

Hmm?

Just as Liu Qin made her decision, the sound of Qiao Bazhi's footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, making her face change slightly.

Creak!

Shortly after, the bedroom door opened in response. Liu Qin was about to get up to greet him but saw Qiao Bazhi walk in with a smile on his face.

This discovery made Liu Qin's heart flutter. Her rationality told her that Qiao Bazhi's troubles should have been resolved, otherwise, he wouldn't be smiling so happily.

Thinking this, Liu Qin did not get up but lay on the bed, half-exposing her curves, crossing her legs, and said seductively, "Lord Ba, you haven't paid attention to me for several days."

"You little vixen, I see you're itching down there, aren't you?" Qiao Bazhi leered, tearing off his bathrobe and striding to the bed.

Liu Qin cooperated perfectly, sitting up and grabbing the steel rod under Qiao Bazhi, saying, "Lord Ba, I've been thinking about it for a long time..."

As she spoke, Liu Qin extended her tongue, slowly moving to Qiao Bazhi's crotch, and began to serve him.

About ten minutes later, with a low, angry roar from Qiao Bazhi, the steel rod under him shot out, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably as if he had been electrocuted.

"Lord Ba, you're so naughty..."

Liu Qin smiled seductively, picked up a tissue from the bedside table, and wiped the liquid from her face. After cleaning up, she asked casually, "Lord Ba, you seem to be in a good mood today."

"The trouble is solved."

Qiao Bazhi lit a cigar and smoked leisurely.

Liu Qin lay obediently in Qiao Bazhi's arms and asked softly, "Mr. Lin didn't blame you?"

"Uh-huh."

Qiao Bazhi nodded, his expression slightly puzzled, "According to Mr. Lin, this storm in the Jiangnan official and business circles, on the surface, is caused by the Su family and the top official of Jiangnan working together, but secretly, the Ye family is also involved, and even Han Guodong can't escape responsibility!"

"Is that so..."

Liu Qin knew very well that if Han Guodong was also involved in this storm in the Jiangnan official and business circles, then it would be meaningless to connect with him, and it was normal for the Nanqinghong leadership not to blame Qiao Bazhi.

After a brief pause, Liu Qin hesitated and asked, "Lord Ba, what about Wu He? Have you found out what happened to Wu He?"

"According to Mr. Lin, a few days ago, the Jiangnan leader of the Donghai Gang, Liu Tianjun, and his subordinates all went to Donghai."

"Lord Ba, do you mean that Wu He was likely killed by that little Ye boy?" Liu Qin was startled.

"The specific details are unclear, but the possibility is very high!" Mentioning Ye Fan, Qiao Bazhi's expression gradually turned cold, his eyes filled with a chilling cold.

Feeling the coldness emanating from Qiao Bazhi, Liu Qin asked, "With the He family collapsing, the Su family will dominate Hanghu. With the Su family's support, do we still need to take action against that boy?"

"That little bastard first caused trouble in my territory and ruined my plans. Not killing him would be hard to swallow!" Qiao Bazhi's face was full of malice.

"Lord Ba, if Wu He really died at his hands, then he must be very strong..." Liu Qin was somewhat worried. In her view, Wu He was Qiao Bazhi's only ace, and if even Wu He was dead, how could they deal with Ye Fan?

"Soon, Mr. Lin will send three martial artists to Hanghu to assist me, including Wu He's master. With his strength, killing that little bastard is no different from crushing an ant!" Qiao Bazhi sneered, "Of course, before that, I need to do something big according to Mr. Lin's instructions!"

"Lord Ba, what big thing?" Liu Qin was shocked and blurted out.

Qiao Bazhi said grimly, "Situ Chen's daughter, Situ Ruoshui, is coming to Hanghu to participate in the national e-sports competition..."

"Your meaning is to kidnap Situ Chen's daughter?"

"Exactly!"

Qiao Bazhi caressed Liu Qin's soft chest, his face full of anticipation, "Once this is done, we will have control over Situ Chen's life. This way, it's only a matter of time before Nanqinghong unifies the southern underworld. By then, not only will that little Ye bastard be sent to the underworld, but even wiping out the Su family will be no problem!"
