"You want to help again, don’t you?" Ye Shikai smiled bitterly. Indeed, although he is now the Netherworld King and Chen Yuxin’s husband, the Chen Group’s "Prince Consort," in the eyes of most people, the title of Netherworld King is unheard of, and as for the title of "Chen Group’s Prince Consort," it seems impressive, but in reality, they probably all think Ye Shikai is living off a woman. Ye Shikai doesn’t know what Zheng Ji thinks, but probably the sa as most people. Objectively speaking, if Luo Shiqi asked for it, Zheng Ji would be more willing to help.
"It’s a trivial matter, and it really doesn’t count as a big favor. Zheng Ji has a lot of influence in the East Sea area, despite his young age. He doesn’t even need to do it himself to find two people; he can just hand it over to his subordinates."
"Do you think the people I, Ye Shikai, want to find are so easily found?" Ye Shikai smiled bitterly. Luo Shiqi had oversimplified the problem. If they were really just two ordinary people, he would have found them long ago. Even if Zheng Ji helps, there’s no guarantee they’ll definitely be found, just that the probability increases.
"No matter what, I still want to help you, and don’t underestimate . If I were so easily retaliated against, I would have died long ago." Luo Shiqi snorted coldly, seemingly dissatisfied with Ye Shikai’s concern.
"Your old enemies were nothing but guns for hire and rcenaries, Shiqi. But do you know how terrifying my enemies are? They can’t even be explained with science." Ye Shikai was still worried. Imagine if a group of trained assassins ca to kill Luo Shiqi, her bodyguards alone might not suffice.
"Alright, stop making a fuss, aren’t we going to the Zheng Family together? You’re wearing this outfit?" Luo Shiqi waved her hand, pointing at Ye Shikai’s casual clothes.
"Do you think the Zheng Family residence is a tourist site? Go and change into sothing more formal." Luo Shiqi snapped her fingers, the driver understood, and started the car, not knowing where they were headed.
"Hey, what are you doing? Let off the car."
"Of course, we’re going to buy clothes. You probably didn’t bring formal attire with you this ti to the East Sea." Luo Shiqi glanced disdainfully. Indeed, Ye Shikai initially planned to recover Ghost’s mory and then return directly to Yanjing in no more than two days, and he hadn’t brought a change of clothes.
The car stopped at the business shopping district in the East Sea, a major city in Huaxia, where the shopping centers are bustling year-round, you can tell from the crowds... but influential people always have "VIP channels."
For instance, the suit shop Luo Shiqi brought Ye Shikai to.
"asure his size." Luo Shiqi sipped her fragrant tea beside him, calmly watching the staff take Ye Shikai’s asurents.
"Shiqi, isn’t this unnecessary? I’m looking for help, dressing like I’m attending a banquet?" Ye Shikai felt it was a bit inappropriate. No need to dress so extravagantly, at least this suit costs tens of thousands.
"If you don’t pay attention to your appearance, how will Zheng Ji take you seriously? I’ve bought it for you, just wear it."
"Alright, whatever you say."
.......................................
Outside the Zheng Family residence.
"Shiqi, have you t Zheng Ji before?" Ye Shikai asked curiously.
"We t once while I was in Yanjing, but that was just to get acquainted; this ti it’s for collaboration." Luo Shiqi flushed, speaking rather narcissistically, "After all, a beauty is hard to forget."
"I see." Ye Shikai nodded. Given Luo Shiqi’s identity, Zheng Ji should not dare to neglect her.
"Look, the people welcoming us have arrived." At this mont, several attendants walked out of the Zheng Family residence and approached the car.
"Let’s go." Ye Shikai opened the car door, and presently, a man straight ca from the doorway towards the car.
"Miss Luo graces us with her presence, welco, please co in." The man welcoming them was none other than Zheng Ji, the eldest son of the Zheng Family.
Luo Shiqi smiled and went up, they initially shook hands, while Ye Shikai stood by silently. This ti he wasn’t the protagonist, naturally he couldn’t "steal the spotlight."
"This must be Mr. Ye, I’ve heard so much about you." To the surprise of both Ye Shikai and Luo Shiqi, Zheng Ji turned towards Ye Shikai, extending his right hand with a respectful deanor, showing no signs of disrespect. Ye Shikai took a mont to react, then extended his hand to shake it.
"Mr. Zheng, sorry to intrude, my apologies."
"Both of you are my guests, it’s windy outside, please co in." Zheng Ji signaled the attendants to usher them into the mansion.
"No need to be surprised, Mr. Ye. I’ve known for a while you were coming. In fact, even if you weren’t coming, I was planning to invite you over. Your reputation has long been admired by ." Zheng Ji’s words truly puzzled Ye Shikai. Why would Zheng Ji give him such high praise? Could Ji Qian have told Zheng Ji about him? That shouldn’t be the case.
"Mr. Zheng, you’re too kind." Ye Shikai couldn’t quite handle Zheng Ji’s complints.
"It’s Mr. Ye being modest. An esteed Netherworld King, controlling billions in wealth, a figure who holds sway over Europe, deserves such praise."
Upon hearing this, Ye Shikai’s face was surprised and stunned. Zheng Ji even knew about this, he was aware of the Main God Temple’s influence too; perhaps he knew Netherworld Palace inside out. Clearly, they underestimated Zheng Ji.
"Others think Ye Shikai is a kept pretty boy, but they’re the ones who lack vision." Zheng Ji said calmly.
"I didn’t expect Mr. Zheng to know so well."
"Alright, let’s talk business. Miss Luo, you’ve looked over that business report, haven’t you?" Zheng Ji turned to ask Luo Shiqi.
"Of course, I’m more than happy that Mr. Zheng is willing to take the initiative to cooperate." Luo Shiqi nodded, "I fully agree with the project proposal’s content."
"Actually, the reason for inviting Miss Luo also involves other matters." Zheng Ji shifted his gaze to Ye Shikai.
"Since it’s a collaboration discussion, I shouldn’t be listening in. I’ll step out; you two talk." Ye Shikai understood Zheng Ji’s implication. He invited Luo Shiqi from afar, obviously to discuss important matters.
"Cheng, show Mr. Ye around the mansion, and do not neglect him." Zheng Ji stood up, letting an attendant co over, apologetically saying to Ye Shikai, "I apologize, Mr. Ye, after I’m done with the project, I’ll personally entertain you."
