Chapter 362: Coming to Find Us
Qi Guoqing felt that his son had gotten himself into big trouble; of all people to provoke, he had to mess with such a calamity star.
"You know, Uncle Qi, unless you find those two old masters at the very top, no one dares to release Qi Fei,"
After saying that, Mo Xing smugly rocked on his heels, knowing that he was stating the facts.
"Brother Mo, about this..." Qi Guoqing said, somewhat at a loss for words.
He had originally planned to come and demand an explanation, but now he thought better of it and decided to first try to get his son out.
But Mo Zidao just shook his head, "Guoqing, I think it's still 'he who tied the bell to the tiger must take it off.' Besides, you just heard what Little Xing said, even though I'm the secretary, I cannot command this situation either."
In truth, Mo Zidao knew that if he called Ye Ling, Ye Ling would definitely give him face.
The key is, he couldn't make that call. Aside from anything else, your son and my son had a conflict, and I should owe someone a favor to help you bail out your son?
There's no such logic in the world, right? At the very least, I'm a father too, I know how to protect my child as well.
Moreover, Ye Ling would give me face not for my sake but for Mo Xing's. But I would still owe Ye Ling a favor, and everyone on the political scene knows that favors are not to be owed lightly; they're priceless.
Knowing that it was useless to continue discussing with Mo Zidao, Qi Guoqing stood up, "If that's the case, then I shall take my leave first."
"Alright, rest assured, Ye Ling is a very reasonable person. But Guoqing, I still feel I need to say a few words,"
"When Little Fei is released, tell him that there are some people it's better not to get involved with. To do such high-handed dealings, such people may not be good at all."
Great, what a Mo Zidao, only mentioning the coercion and not the murder?
However, Qi Guoqing, used to such situations, still nodded and left Mo Zidao's house.
Mo Zidao turned to look at Mo Xing, "You, try to stay out of trouble in the future, and don't keep causing mischief outside. But today, you did alright."
After finishing his words, Mo Zidao turned and went back inside, but Mo Xing was stupefied. Ah, what's going on with his usually stern father today? Did he take the wrong medicine?
Inside Shen Yuexin's mansion, Ye Ling lay on the sofa with his feet propped up on the coffee table in front of him, engrossed in the TV.
By his side, Shen Yuexin nestled against him, while the other women had gone to bed, perhaps out of tiredness, or maybe to give the two some space.
"Honey, I've realized you're really like a jinx. Why do you always find trouble wherever you go? Do you carry a negative aura?"
"It's like those characters in games that attract monster attacks wherever they go."
Shen Yuexin said softly after Ye Ling had told her about the recent events. She couldn't help but sigh.
"What are you talking about? I'm definitely not a jinx. It's Mo Xing who's the real jinx," Ye Ling chuckled. He was no jinx; it was probably just because he was too handsome, and it made others jealous.
Shen Yuexin nodded, "But honey, are you serious? Is he really the reincarnation of Furo Wang?"
"Yeah, you don't understand. That guy was famous in the Immortal Realm in the past. Even luck itself was jealous of him, which is why he was punished."
Ye Ling sighed, recalling how Furo Wang's luck had astounded everyone in the Immortal Realm. He possessed a heap of treasures that made everyone else green with envy.
And yet, here was a guy who hadn't even reached the Seven Tribulations Immortal Emperor, but his wealth was even more considerable than that of Ye Ling.
"But honey, are you really an Immortal Emperor, the most powerful kind?" Shen Yuexin's curiosity and love for gossip instantly peaked.
Ye Ling nodded with pride, "Of course, the Nine Tribulation Immortal Emperor. In the whole Immortal Realm, who would dare to challenge me? Which fairy wouldn't be star-struck at the sight of me?"
"What Immortal Realm, Heavenly Realm, your husband here is the absolute overlord, of course, there are still a few terrifying old immortals who are very strong."
What Ye Ling was referring to were people like the Qing Emperor, those old guys who had lived for who knows how many years and were terrifyingly powerful.
"You, in the future, try to go out less and stop flirting with others. There are already so many sisters at home, and besides, you still haven't turned in your earnings. You're not behaving."
Shen Yuexin laughed lightly, the truth was, among all the women, Ye Ling's position was the most important. He was their backbone, their sky, and nothing could go wrong with him.
As for the women being strong and Ye Ling being weak?
What a joke, that was just the way they existed together. Just like the time when Ye Ling left the coffee shop in a huff because Ning Yushan slammed the table, all the women were scared to death.
"Rest assured, I know you all care for me. Tonight, they have given you to me, you must cherish this time, hehe."
As Ye Ling spoke, his hands began to roam restlessly, and Shen Yuexin couldn't stop laughing, twisting her body.
Just then, a servant came running over, and seeing the situation, quickly covered their eyes: "Miss, Young Master Ye, a person named Qi Guoqing says he wants to see Young Master Ye."
"Qi Guoqing? What bird is that? I don't know him," Ye Ling mumbled in confusion.
Shen Yuexin shook her head, "You send his son to the Bureau of Superpowers and then say you don't know them. He's Qi Fei's father, the current Clan Leader of the Qi Family, very cunning and shrewd."
"What's he doing here in the middle of the night, he's not asking me to release Qi Fei, is he?" Ye Ling muttered.
"But how did he find this place, could it be someone snitched? Who is it, who is trying to hurt me!" Ye Ling clenched his teeth, feigned anger.
Shen Yuexin shook her head, this man who loved playing the fool. She instructed the servant to bring Qi Guoqing over.
"Well, since he has to be released sooner or later, why not take the opportunity... "
"To extort some money from him?"
Ye Ling and Shen Yuexin said in unison, bursting into loud laughter. Ye Ling turned to Shen Yuexin and said, "Baby, I find that you're getting sneakier by the day." Stay updated via My Virtual Library Empire
"One takes on the color of one's company," Shen Yuexin sighed.
A minute later, Qi Guoqing walked in, stretching out his hand towards Ye Ling, "Mr. Ye, I am Qi Fei's father, Qi Guoqing. I apologize for any conflict my son may have caused with you."
Ye Ling also stretched out his hand. After all, one does not slap the hand that's offered with a smile.
"Miss Shen, long time no see," Qi Guoqing said with a smile, extending his hand towards Shen Yuexin.
Shen Yuexin and Qi Guoqing had known each other for a while. The Huamei Group, a behemoth in the global economy with businesses almost everywhere, and the Qi Family, a giant of wealth, had had quite a few dealings together.
"Mr. Ye, I won't beat around the bush. I don't know how we can secure my son's release. His mother is very worried at home, and I hope you can understand that," he said.
Qi Guoqing got straight to the point, his usual sly businessman persona was not in play, as he knew that all slick moves were useless before absolute power.
Ye Ling nodded, "I understand Mr. Qi's words naturally. After all, being a mother is never easy."
"But I think, Mr. Qi, asking me to release a suspect, isn't that a bit excessive?"
"Moreover, this suspect has injured me. Have you considered my feelings?"
Ye Ling slowly leaned back on the couch, lit a cigarette, and spoke leisurely.
