An Dongye was not pleased. She didn’t mind giving Ye Xiu money, but giving her hard-earned cash to the boss? That’s impossible!
She had a flash of inspiration and ran to the cashier’s counter to grab a QR code. She kicked Liu ng and said, "Scan this. Transfer ten thousand to the boss."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Liu ng hastily took out his phone, scanned the code, and transferred 10,000.
Ye Xiu was speechless. An Dongye really was a tightwad. He asked curiously, "These hooligans still have money in their bank accounts. Why didn’t you take that too?"
"I’d like to," An Dongye said, pulling out an old Nokia with a black-and-white screen. "But my phone doesn’t have that function, and I don’t have a bank card either."
Ye Xiu’s mouth twitched. He had t a true pauper today—this girl was genuinely poor.
"Let’s go," Ye Xiu said to her.
"Okay!" An Dongye nodded. As they walked out, she asked curiously, "Hey, little bro, what’s the deal with Ito iya and Kuroki Suzu? And what’s their connection to the Sang Jing dical Expedition Team?"
None of the girls around have a normal thought process, Ye Xiu mused before answering. "The Sang Jing dical Expedition Team is packed with Ninja Warriors, including Kuroki Suzu and Ito iya. They are ostensibly in Jin Ye City to challenge the Ghost Doctor, but in reality, they’re after ."
An Dongye understood. It seems Kuroki Suzu and Ito iya’s group is also after the 200 million gold reward, she thought.
"Where is the Sang Jing dical Expedition Team staying?" she asked.
"The Ayrton Hotel," Ye Xiu replied. "Why do you ask?"
"Just asking, hehe," An Dongye said, her eyes darting away as she gave an awkward laugh. "Oh, I just rembered sothing important I need to take care of. You can go back to Shenghe dical School by yourself. I’ll find you after I’m done."
With that, she quickly made up an excuse and ran off.
Ye Xiu watched her retreating figure, his eyes narrowed. This girl was a real mystery. She was in her early twenties yet possessed the strength of an Eighth Grade Grandmaster. Her deanor was as brash as a bandit’s, yet she had co to Shenghe dical School to study dicine. On top of all that, she had recognized Ito iya at a glance.
After a mont’s thought, Ye Xiu called the Ghost Doctor, asking him to hand over An Dongye’s file to Gong Jin and have her investigate An Dongye’s identity.

「Three-thirty in the afternoon」
All of Ye Xiu’s enemies in Jin Ye City, along with their families, gathered at the Ayrton Hotel. Even the Ming Family and Li Bingliang’s family were present.
In the hotel’s large conference hall, Kuroki Suzu, representing the Sang Jing Rongfu Consortium, signed equity acquisition contracts with Kangtai Pharmaceutical and other companies.
"The Rongfu Consortium will transfer the money for the shares to your accounts," Kuroki Suzu said with a smile as she tidied up the contracts. "Given the enormous amount and the international currency transfer, it will likely take a few days to arrive. Now that we’re on the sa side, the Yagyū family, the Tiansha Association, and I will provide you with martial support. I hope you can eliminate Ye Xiu as soon as possible. Only then can we amass even greater wealth together."
Ming Yue and the others broke into smiles. With the behemoth Tiansha Association backing them, they no longer had to fear Ye Xiu.
"Ye Xiu is a Great Grandmaster, so killing him won’t be easy," Ming Yue said. "However, we can start by targeting those close to him, like his wife..."
"Ye Xiu has a wife?" Kuroki Suzu interrupted. This was a detail Dragon Hollyhock hadn’t shared with her.
"Ye Xiu’s wife is Qin Qing," Ming Yue explained. "They just got their marriage certificate and haven’t had a wedding yet, so very few people know."
Kuroki Suzu had a mont of realization. "Besides Qin Qing, who else is one of Ye Xiu’s weaknesses?" she asked.
"As far as I know, the Ghost Doctor is his disciple," Ming Yue said after a mont’s thought. "He’s also on good terms with Zhu Xiaowen of the Zhu Family and Yun Lan of the Yun Family. He saved the life of Zuo Song’er from the Zuo Family, and he’s close with his student, Murong. Then there’s Qin Qing’s family. If we could capture any of them—even just one—we could force Ye Xiu to surrender."
Hearing this, Kuroki Suzu’s eyes narrowed. The information Ming Yue provided was crucial. If used correctly, they could easily capture Ye Xiu and confirm whether he had the dragon-shaped pattern on his left arm.
"Since you know Ye Xiu’s weaknesses, get to it," she said. "Let know if you need anything."
With Kuroki Suzu’s approval, Ming Yue and the others grew excited. The tables had finally turned, and now they could have their fun with Ye Xiu.
BUZZ... BUZZ... BUZZ... BUZZ...
At that mont, the phones of Xu Jinghao and the others who had just sold their shares began vibrating in unison.
"Huh? How did the money from the sale arrive so quickly?"
"Mine’s here too."
"No way! An international currency transfer arrived instantly?"
"Your money has already arrived?" Kuroki Suzu asked Xu Jinghao and the others in surprise.
"Yeah!" they all nodded.
Kuroki Suzu frowned. "That doesn’t make sense. Large transactions require review, especially international currency transfers. It’s impossible for it to arrive so quickly."
BUZZ... BUZZ... BUZZ... BUZZ...
Just then, their phones vibrated in unison again.
However, after seeing the new text ssage alerts, their faces all turned ashen.
"What’s wrong?" Kuroki Suzu asked, seeing their disturbed expressions.
"The money that just arrived was mysteriously transferred out," Xu Jinghao said.
"Mine too."
"It’s not just the new money. All the money in my account has been transferred out."
"Even the few cents in my SuperChat wallet are gone."
"Now, other than my shares and fixed assets, I don’t have a single penny left."
Kuroki Suzu was stunned.
Xu Jinghao and the others were stunned too.
The mbers of the Ming and Li families exchanged glances. This scene was all too familiar.
"It was Ye Xiu," Ming Yue said gravely.
