Chongyang's decision is quite sensible. After all, no matter how formidable Carlos and the Murphy Clan are, they are still overseas, and even if they can influence the dostic situation, their power is limited.
However, Ye Qiu, the Demon King, is different. He's right here in the country, and more specifically, in Ying City!!!
Think about the fate of the Huo and Rong Families, those two gigantic families and enterprises in Hong Kong—what happened to them? They were annihilated overnight by the Demon King.
If he offends Ye Qiu to death for Carlos, what would be his end? It's easy to imagine.
He wants to live a little longer. Sacrificing his own life for Carlos is just not worth it!!!
With Chongyang's departure, the other staff mbers in the investnt promotion office exchanged glances and began hesitating.
In the end, they also made their decision and left with Chongyang.
They're no fools. Even Chongyang didn't dare to ddle in Carlos's affairs. If they were to get involved, wouldn't they be looking for trouble?
As a result, everyone from the investnt promotion office left, leaving only Man Shengjian and Yun Ling, both looking pale.
"Shengjian, what should we do next?"
Seeing Chongyang and the others leave, and Carlos lying on the ground, writhing in pain, Yun Ling frantically asked Man Shengjian.
"What else can we do? First, we need to send him to the hospital!"
Upon hearing this, Man Shengjian gritted his teeth and responded reluctantly.
He was now deeply regretting it; if he had known Ye Qiu was the Demon King, why would he need to curry favor with Carlos? He could have easily allied with Ye Qiu through Yun Ling and Lin Chuxue's connection!
As a result, not only did he fail to forge an alliance, but he also managed to offend Ye Qiu, and the Carlos he desperately tried to please ended up being beaten to the ground by Ye Qiu...
Of course, it was too late for regrets, and with Carlos getting hurt at their hotel, they had no choice but to hurry and send him to dical care, or the Murphy Clan might not let them off the hook!!!
It could be said that he and Carlos were now in the sa boat. His only hope was to continue trying to ingratiate himself with Carlos, hoping Carlos could bring him so benefits...
Having decided, Man Shengjian called for hotel staff to transport Carlos to the hospital.
And so, the matter concerning Carlos was temporarily brought to a close.
anwhile, after leaving the Full Sky Star Hotel, Ye Qiu, along with Lin Chuxue and Qiu Shi, casually found a street-side food stall, continuing to eat and drink while chatting.
"King, I still rember the first ti you led on a mission; the two of us sneaked into a bandit lair to rescue hostages. We were discovered, surrounded by hundreds ard with guns aid at us. I was nearly scared to death."
Talking about the glorious past, Qiu Shi was exceedingly excited, his expression and voice filled with admiration for Ye Qiu, "Who would've thought, King, you suddenly acted, single-handedly took out their boss in front of hundreds of people, and then rescued the hostages. That was so cool, I didn't even know how to describe it."
"Yeah, I rember that incident too. I also rember you saying back then, with hundreds of guns pointed at you, your legs were shaking, and you told 'You go ahead, my legs are too weak to move.'"
Ye Qiu, upon hearing this, chuckled, recalling the amusing events of the past.
"King, can you not ntion my embarrassing monts? Back then, I was still a rookie, having a bit of fear was normal."
Hearing Ye Qiu say that, Qiu Shi felt a bit wronged and retorted.
But, despite his words, Qiu Shi was happy and moved to know Ye Qiu rembered these monts with him.
He had thought after all these years, Ye Qiu would have surely forgotten those tis, especially since he was just an ordinary mber of the Demon Corps.
With the mood lightened, Qiu Shi and Ye Qiu continued chatting about past deeds while drinking, unaware that they had consud several bottles.
Beside Ye Qiu, Lin Chuxue listened intently to the stories of the past ntioned by Qiu Shi, her eyes sparkling with interest.
Sporadically, she glanced at Ye Qiu, her expression reflecting a small asure of admiration.
Though she knew Ye Qiu, as the Demon King, had many impressive deeds, hearing them from Qiu Shi's narration revealed nurous unbelievable legendary stories she hadn't expected.
It's no exaggeration to say these feats could be rich material for films.
"Ahem, King, I've been aning to ask, is this young lady the new sister-in-law?"
At this mont, perhaps due to Lin Chuxue's frequent glances at Ye Qiu, Qiu Shi noticed and coughed a bit, then awkwardly inquired of Ye Qiu and Lin Chuxue.
Upon hearing Qiu Shi's question, Lin Chuxue's pretty face instantly blushed.
Ye Qiu, anwhile, chuckled and shrugged, saying, "Though I also hope, unfortunately, she's not."
"Oh, oh, looks like I misunderstood."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Shi realized his mistake and quickly apologized to Lin Chuxue and Ye Qiu.
On the other hand, upon hearing Ye Qiu's denial, Lin Chuxue, though initially disappointed, soon blushed deeply again upon recalling Ye Qiu's preceding words and grew a bit bashful.
What does "though I also hope" an?
Could it be that Ye Qiu was subtly hinting sothing to her?
The more she thought about it, the more her pretty face beca redder.
Subsequently, Ye Qiu and Qiu Shi continued drinking and chatting for a while, eventually leading to a discussion on the reason for Ye Qiu's visit to Gan Province.
At this point, Ye Qiu's countenance beca serious, and addressing Qiu Shi, he said, "Actually, I suspect that Phoenix isn't dead. Furthermore, there are things happening to her that we don't know about."
"Really?!"
Overwheld by Ye Qiu's statent, Qiu Shi's face showed a shocked expression.
If what Ye Qiu said was true, that Phoenix is alive, it would be monuntal news!!!
And coming from Ye Qiu, the likelihood of its veracity is quite high!!!
Qiu Shi didn't think, nor did Ye Qiu have any reason to deceive him.
"It's true, and the reason for my visit to Gan Province is to investigate matters related to Phoenix, as I've learned that soone obtained her Divine Blood, possibly from Dragon Tiger Mountain in Gan Province."
Ye Qiu nodded and replied solemnly to Qiu Shi.
