Top Grade Immortal Emperor in the Flower City

Ye Ling's words did not surprise Qi Guoqing. If Ye Ling had simply agreed right away, perhaps Qi Guoqing would have suspected some trickery.

Qi Guoqing nodded, "Yes, I know my worthless son has caused Mr. Ye a great deal of harm, and this time I simply want to bail him out."

"As for the others, they have nothing to do with the Qi Family. Mr. Ye, I must apologize for the great trouble this has caused you."

While speaking, Qi Guoqing took out a check and placed it on the table. Ye Ling glanced at it, one billion.

What a bold move, truly befitting of a prominent family with a century-long heritage, casually writing a check for one billion like it was one hundred yuan, without batting an eye.

But Ye Ling took a drag of his cigarette and said, "Mr. Qi is generous, but do you think I, Ye, am short of that one billion?"

"Or does my woman lack that one billion? Mr. Qi, some things are particular to people, you give that one billion to a beggar, and he would surely be willing to do anything for you."

"Also, I like making friends, but friendship, my friend, is all about sincerity."

Qi Guoqing nodded, "I understand."

Becoming friends with Ye Ling was something he would never squander. The Qi Family had been standing strong for so long, even unscathed during times of war, all thanks to friendships and networks of connections.

And the first rule of maintaining friendships is not to offend people, especially not someone like Ye Ling.

"Mr. Ye, please let me know if this satisfies you," Qi Guoqing said, putting another billion-yuan check on the table.

Shen Yuexin didn't even look at it, for to her, this billion was insignificant. Huamei Company made more than this amount every day.

To ordinary people, the concept of trillions in assets is unimaginable, and only those of high society understand the true terror of such wealth.

"For an average friend, I don't show much affection," Ye Ling said pretentiously, looking at the television as if he didn't care at all.

Qi Guoqing wasn't in a hurry. For him, this wasn't just about rescuing his son, but also about buying a friend.

"How about this?" asked Qi Guoqing as he wrote a check for three billion this time, making it a total of five billion. If it were an ordinary person, they would have gone half mad by now.

Ye Ling laughed, "Not bad, not bad, Mr. Qi, I accept your friendship. However, about the conflict with Qi Fei today..."

Before Ye Ling finished speaking, he chuckled, and Qi Guoqing cursed inwardly, calling him a greedy little fox, a glutton. How would he not choke on his greed, dammit, did he think this five billion was meant to pave the road?

"Mr. Ye is straightforward," Qi Guoqing nodded, still smiling, as he swiftly wrote a string of numbers on the check and placed it on the table.

Five billion, a full five billion, a sum of ten billion in total. To the Qi Family, such an astronomical number wasn't even bone-breaking.

Ten billion was nothing, the family's business could earn it back in less than a month; and this ten billion might buy a huge favor from Ye Ling in the future.

"Mr. Qi, since you're so straightforward, please hurry to the Bureau of Superpowers to retrieve your son, lest your sister-in-law worries, right?"

Ye Ling stood up and shook hands with Qi Guoqing, then added, "Now that we're friends, if there's anything in the future, you must tell me, otherwise, I'll be anxious."

"Of course, I will count on Mr. Ye's care in the future. But it's rather late tonight, so I won't disturb you any further. I'll take my leave now, and we'll get together another day."

After Qi Guoqing left, Ye Ling escorted him out of the manor and watched the departing car with a cold smile. The old man still had money, spending ten billion just to get his son out.

"If only I had asked for more," Ye Ling muttered to himself.

"Greedy, huh? If he goes to seek help from Uncle Mo Zidao and asks you, would you let him go or not?" Suddenly, the voice of Shen Yuexin rose from behind Ye Ling.

Ye Ling nodded, "You make a good point. If he really turns to Uncle Zidao, then I'd indeed have to give him that respect."

"By that time, forget about a billion, you won't even catch a glimpse of a single hair, heh heh. Forget about him. Let's go back to the room and have fun."

As Ye Ling spoke, he picked up Shen Yuexin and excitedly ran towards the room, her laughter tinkling, light and sweet.

Meanwhile, sitting in the backseat on the deserted road, Qi Guoqing's face was grim.

"Such an insatiable creature; still, people like him are the best. Those who love money have the most fatal weakness. Perhaps there will be unexpected benefits to come."

Qi Guoqing thought of Ye Ling's smug face and shook his head with a cold laugh as the car hurried towards the gate of the Bureau of Superpowers.

The Bureau of Superpowers is an independent entity, with its own offices, interrogation rooms, cells, and so on, a completely Transcendence organization.

"Just wait, bastard. You made me lose a billion and my face in one night. Watch me break your legs when I get out!" Qi Guoqing said viciously.

But the driver quickly said, "Master, you can't blame the young master. He was set up too. You should calm down, getting angry is bad for your health."

At that moment, inside one of the Bureau of Superpowers' isolated cells, Qi Fei sat on a stool with a face full of anger.

An officer from the Bureau of Superpowers came, opened the cell door, and said indifferently, "All right, Qi Fei, you can leave now."

Qi Fei sneered, "Leave? Now you think of letting me out, isn't it a bit late? Let me tell you, I am the Buddha!"

"Your little temple can't contain me. It's easy to invite a god but hard to send one away. Call Ye Ling to me!"

"If he doesn't apologize, then he should just wait for the Qi Family to deal with him. Let me tell you, this isn't over! It doesn't matter who comes; Qi Fei is not someone to be trifled with!"

Qi Fei roared, his eyes bloodshot, and the officer from the Bureau of Superpowers was taken aback. Is this guy crazy?

"Stay or leave; it's your call, dumbass." The officer from the Bureau of Superpowers turned and left, leaving a stunned Qi Fei behind.

Qi Fei, watching the departing officer, suddenly burst into curses, "What the hell! Is this how you invite someone out?"

"Bring your leader here! Demand Ye Ling come apologize to me, or else I'll never let this go!"

While Qi Fei raged inside, Qi Guoqing waited outside with burning impatience. Just then, someone walked out of the gate, and Qi Guoqing quickly got out of the car.

"Comrade, may I know when Qi Fei will be released?" Qi Guoqing was somewhat puzzled.

Could Ye Ling have deceived him?

But that shouldn't be the case. He had paid a hefty price, a whole billion, and Shen Yuexin was there too. She wasn't the kind of person who would trick someone over a billion.

"You must be a family member of Qi Fei, right? Is he an idiot? We let him go, and he refuses to leave, insisting that our General apologize to him."

"Let me tell you, ten minutes. If he doesn't come out by then, he can wait until tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Qi Guoqing's face turned green with irritation. Damn it, all this while it wasn't that they weren't releasing him; it was that blind fool himself who wouldn't leave?
