943: Chapter 943: The Ning Family Again 943: Chapter 943: The Ning Family Again Ye Qiu was drinking tea in his office.
After waiting for half an hour, he realized Cai Yong and the others still hadn’t co back up.
Earlier, Cai Yong went downstairs to imdiately interrogate those n—who exactly sent them?
But the middle-aged boss and his lackeys were tight-lipped, glaring at Cai Yong with fury in their eyes.
Cai Yong didn’t waste words, simply ordering his n to tie them up and hang them, beating them relentlessly.
As long as they weren’t dead, Cai Yong knew Brother Qiu would be able to heal them back to health completely.
At first, the screams and wails were horrifying, but by the ti they were barely clinging to life, the beating finally stopped.
Ye Qiu decided to head down to take a look.
Just as he got up, Cai Yong ca in, saying directly, “Brother Qiu, those guys are stubborn.
They won’t talk.”
Stubborn thugs like this?
Ye Qiu couldn’t believe it.
Following Cai Yong down to the basent, Ye Qiu found those n strung up and brutally beaten.
They were now on the brink of death, covered in blood, with so already unconscious.
Only the middle-aged boss, struggling to hide the fear in his eyes, caught Ye Qiu’s attention.
Ye Qiu spoke, “So you’re all tough guys, huh?
But you’re out here—was this for money?
Or are you willing to throw your lives away for the boss behind you?”
The middle-aged boss wanted to respond but couldn’t get a word out—his ribs had been broken during the beating.
He wasn’t silent by choice, but the pain was so intense he couldn’t make a sound.
Staring at Ye Qiu’s outstretched hand moving toward him, the middle-aged boss felt the pain in his body gradually ebb away as if it were being undone.
Eventually, even the last trace of agony disappeared!
This was unbelievable!
The middle-aged boss had no idea how Ye Qiu had accomplished it, but this young man in front of him now filled him with a new sense of dread!
It was this mysterious, incomprehensible capability that truly terrified him.
After all, if a knife cut him down and he died, that’d be the end of it.
But if a knife maid him, he survived, endured endless tornt, and then fully recovered—only to face it all over again, that was fear.
“Cut them down.”
Cai Yong’s subordinates lowered the middle-aged boss and his crew.
The n collapsed onto the floor, too far gone to survive even a trip to the hospital.
Yet under Ye Qiu’s treatnt, they seed to be gradually returning to a state of health, their wounds mysteriously healing.
“I’ll give you one more chance!”
Ye Qiu said coldly.
“Who are you?
Who sent you?”
Ye Qiu questioned.
“Ye—Ye Boss, we’re from the Beicheng Gang,” the middle-aged boss finally admitted.
Beicheng Gang?
Cai Yong had heard of them but didn’t know much about them.
“So your trouble over at the Imperial Cuisine Restaurant—was that an order from your boss?”
“Actually, it’s mainly the Ning Family.”
The Ning Family?
Ye Qiu found the na familiar.
Could it really be that Ning Family?
In Jinling, one of the four great families was indeed the Ning Family!
“Their goal is to get the imperial cuisine recipe.”
The middle-aged boss said.
Ye Qiu had pieced it together.
With the Ning Family’s current wealth and holdings, they already had plenty.
Yet previously, the Ning Family had tried to wrest the Eiffel Chain Hotel out of Xia Lan’s hands.
Now they were targeting his family’s imperial cuisine recipe.
If they acquired both, the Ning Family would radically transform their position in the restaurant and hotel industries.
The imperial cuisine business itself might only bring a four- or five-percent profit margin to the Ning Family—not a big deal.
But if they franchised Imperial Cuisine Restaurants nationwide, every single location’s profits would add up substantially.
This Ning Family’s greed knew no bounds!
“Everyone out.”
Ye Qiu gestured to Cai Yong and the middle-aged boss’s lackeys.
It was soon just Ye Qiu and the middle-aged boss left in the room.
The middle-aged boss was already trembling before the young man in front of him.
“You just saw it for yourself.
To , you’re nothing more than an ant—I could crush you underfoot at will.
But even ants have their uses.”
The middle-aged boss dared not utter a word.
He had thought the Imperial Cuisine Restaurant’s owner was an ordinary man.
Clearly, this was far from the truth.
“And you”—Ye Qiu’s voice turned icy—”brawn over brains, making moves without doing your due diligence.
Even if I hadn’t intervened, my relationship with Li Zhiguo would’ve landed you in prison tomorrow, never to get out.”
Li Zhiguo?
Who was that?
The top official in Jinling!
With every word, the middle-aged boss grew more horrified.
Only now was he beginning to grasp the significance of this young man—he not only had loyal subordinates but also a personal connection with Jinling’s most powerful figure.
And Ye Qiu was also acquainted with Wu Shuang.
With their relationship, Wu Shuang could roll in with a truckload of soldiers, and forget the Beicheng Gang—even the Ning Family’s estate would be flattened.
“Ye—Ye Boss, I didn’t know about any of this.
Please, spare !”
The middle-aged boss pleaded in fear.
“You’ve already done what you did.
Do you think you can just walk away from this?”
“I—I…”
“If you don’t follow my orders perfectly, I guarantee you’ll die a grueso death within seven days!”
The middle-aged boss, already aware of Ye Qiu’s extraordinary abilities, knew he wasn’t making idle threats.
It had to be true.
“Ye—Ye Boss, I’ll do as you say.”
“Call Young Master Ye.”
“Y-yes, Young Master Ye.”
…
When Ye Qiu and the middle-aged boss erged from the basent—with the latter’s lackeys in tow—they left in a hurry.
“Brother Qiu, you’re letting them go just like that?”
“I have plans for them.
But be ready—for in ti, we’ll likely face the Beicheng Gang head-on.”
Cai Yong understood.
For now, the issue was resolved.
But as long as the Ning Family was around, complications were inevitable down the line.
As Ye Qiu climbed into his car and drove back toward the Imperial Cuisine Restaurant, he resolved to reassure his parents, so they wouldn’t worry about this anymore.
When he arrived at the restaurant, he saw that custor traffic was still low, likely due to the trouble from prior days.
“Ye Qiu, what about those n?”
“Dad, I’ve handed them over to the police.
They won’t be disrupting our restaurant’s operations again.”
“That’s for the best.”
Initially, Ye Qiu had thought about involving Zhao Ruxue to exact punishnt on the offenders.
However, he ultimately decided that wasn’t the most effective route, and went through Cai Yong instead.
As for Ye Weidong, he was most terrified of situations like this.
Ye Qiu opted not to tell him more, to ease his fears.
Now that the trouble with the main Imperial Cuisine Restaurant was settled, Ye Weidong went to check on the branch location.
The ground-level structures there had already been demolished, and Ye Fugui, along with another contractor, was overseeing the laying of the foundation.
