Ye Yun's words instantly turned Liu Shaowei's face pale and Li Jiaze's entire face crimson with shame.
"This... General Ye, please come inside first. We can resolve any misunderstandings."
Although Ye Yun's words were harsh, they were truthful. Li Maocheng, having been in the business world for so many years, knew that his influence might command respect even from high-ranking officials, but Ye Yun was not just a Chinese general; he was also a Heavenly Being with terrifying power!
"Heh, alright, but let me be clear. I swore back then that I would make them pay back a thousand or even ten thousand times over. Since Young Master Li is their boss, their master, then I'll settle this with Young Master Li!"
"Easily said. Come, Heavenly Being Ye, please come inside." Li Maocheng's face was still wreathed in smiles. Only after Ye Yun entered the building did he turn to look at Liu Shaowei and Mu Yun.
"I hope you are worth as much as General Ye mentioned. Otherwise, you know the consequences," Li Maocheng said, turning and following Ye Yun's steps.
"No, Chairman, Uncle, listen to me, he's really a骗子 (piàn zi - scammer), he..."
To his death, he refused to believe that a young man too poor to afford hospitalization, a man with terminal liver cancer, could be a high-ranking general!
*Slap...*
"Scammer my foot! Liu Shaowei, this is my cousin! The supreme commander of the 'Heavenly Soldier' Legion under the Ministry of National Defense's 'Heavenly Path'! His rank is Lieutenant General! Do you think he would mistake someone? Fine, you still want to fool me now?"
"I..." Liu Shaowei knew that no one would believe his words. For the Li family, China's richest, it was incredibly simple to obtain anyone's information.
However, was Ye Yun truly a general? Thinking about it, Liu Shaowei couldn't help but feel bewildered.
"Someone, bring that bitch here too! Damn it, I wondered why a woman's first night had so much blood, turns out it was all pigeon blood!"
Seeing his father enter the building, Li Jiaze immediately slapped Liu Shaowei several times. If it weren't for the many media outlets watching outside, he might have directly dealt with Liu Shaowei.
"Honey, how can your people treat me like this? Did I do something wrong?" Mu Yun was dragged by the two men to Li Jiaze. Seeing Liu Shaowei being beaten, she knew the game was up.
But there was nothing she could do. Where could she run if she offended the Li family? She could only hope that Li Jiaze would show some leniency out of consideration for her.
"Honey, honey your whole family! Offended General Ye? And tried to scam General Ye's money? Is General Ye someone you can afford to offend?" Li Jiaze slapped Mu Yun. For these true second-generation rich, there was no such thing as cherishing a woman; if their father was angered, it didn't matter if you were a man or a woman.
"Hit me, hit me, come on, if you dare, kill me, kill me and the child in my belly!" Mu Yun, dazed by Li Jiaze's slaps, reacted and started to act up.
"Shut up!" Someone gag her! Immediately, several people came forward and tightly sealed Mu Yun's mouth.
"Brother Le, what should I do now?" Li Jiaze, who had been beating Liu Shaowei for a long time, finally turned and looked at Li Le, who was still standing there, somewhat shaken.
At this moment, the two were lying on the ground, beaten into unconsciousness. Mu Yun hadn't even fully grasped the exact reason, merely thinking that Li Jiaze had discovered her relationship with Liu Shaowei.
"Where would I know? This guy killed over a hundred of my family's people last time, and even our old man didn't dare to have a temper. How much money did they scam him for?"
"I don't know either." Li Jiaze looked at the two people lying on the ground, filled with helplessness.
As the crown prince of the Li Group, he knew something of Ye Yun's influence. Moreover, even the foremost family of Modu swallowed such a loss without a peep; what about them? They were just businessmen!
"I hope his appetite won't be too large. This guy devours people without spitting out bones! If he said payback a hundred or a thousand times, he'd definitely mean it. I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm heading back to the military headquarters." Li Le, glancing fearfully at the Dragon Emperor Club building, turned and left.
He had wanted to show off, but instead of showing off, he got screwed.
"Brother Le, aren't you going up?" Li Jiaze called out to Li Le's retreating figure.
Li Le's steps halted, and he instead quickly ran to the military vehicle. With a divine being like Ye Yun present, he didn't dare to linger here.
"Young Master Li, what about these two?" A person approached Li Jiaze and asked in a low voice.
"What about them? Keep an eye on them. If they run, you'll be held responsible." Damn it, I wonder if Liu Shaowei's father's company is enough to compensate!
Li Jiaze cursed as he left.
More than an hour later, Ye Yun had rejected all of Li Maocheng's invitations and was quietly watching the entire ceremony conclude. Li Maocheng seemed to know Ye Yun's purpose for coming and didn't bother him excessively.
After the ceremony ended, Li Maocheng disappeared for a full half hour, as if he had forgotten about Ye Yun.
"Mr. Ye, our chairman requests you to move to his office," a female attendant said softly to Ye Yun.
Without a word, Ye Yun followed the attendant and took the elevator directly to the top floor.
"General Ye, please have a seat."
Li Maocheng was already waiting at the elevator entrance and led him into his office on the top floor.
"General Ye, as you know, my son was completely unaware of these two individuals' actions. I wonder how we can resolve this matter?"
Ye Yun did not sit down. Instead, he stood by the massive floor-to-ceiling window, gazing out and sighing softly.
"Chairman Li, your words might fool a child, but there's no need to put on a show for me. I'll name a price; listen to it. If you accept, you accept. If not, I have ways to make you accept."
"General Ye, you must understand that this is a society governed by law, not a place where you can do as you please, even if you are a general!" Li Maocheng frowned, looking at Ye Yun's back.
"Chairman Li, as China's richest man, you actually believe this? Heh, I truly don't know whether to call you naive or hypocritical."
"For the statement the Chairman just made, 1.6 billion! I'll let it go. As for those two, you can do as you please, how about it!"
Ye Yun lit a cigarette. At this moment, only the two of them were on the entire top floor.
"They only swindled you for 1.6 million yuan back then, and they weren't even successful in the end. Why is General Ye being so aggressive?" Li Maocheng looked at Ye Yun and said after some hesitation.
"So, Chairman, you knew about it? But after hearing you say that, it seems reasonable. Then, 16 billion it is!"
"It's mealtime, Chairman. I hope to hear news of our Dragon Palace receiving the funds this afternoon!"
Ye Yun gently exhaled a puff of smoke, instantly shattering the floor-to-ceiling glass in front of him! A powerful aura surged from him, pinning Li Maocheng to the ground, unable to move.
Ye Yun walked step by step to the window, feeling the cold wind from over two hundred meters high, and slowly stepped out of the window, standing in mid-air.
"Now, I want 16 billion from you! Do you have any objections?"
Ye Yun turned around, and suddenly a burst of flames erupted from his body, instantly making him appear like a god of fire. His terrifying aura stirred up a whirlwind, crushing all the furniture in the office.
