Jiang Hai sat stunned in his seat, his face pale, completely unable to fathom what had happened. The Dragon King's wife and daughter had been in the capital all this time, under the covert protection of the War Department, and should have been perfectly safe. However, the Dragon King's sudden call must have a reason.
"Governor, shall we continue the meeting?" someone asked in a low voice.
"Continue what? A bunch of good-for-nothings, all they do is cause trouble for me. Meeting dismissed!!! We'll reconvene another day!!" Jiang Hai roared, throwing the meeting draft away. He then left in a hurry, needing to quickly ascertain the situation. Otherwise, if the Dragon King became enraged, he, a mere governor, wouldn't be able to bear the consequences.
Soon, Jiang Hai understood the entire situation and couldn't help but feel indignant. No wonder the Dragon King was furious; the Dragon King's wife's company had been nearly snatched away right under his nose. It was only natural for the Dragon King to be angry!
However, as more information came in, Jiang Hai's expression grew increasingly grim. The person attempting to seize Ye Qingmei's company was not to be trifled with!
Upon reading this, Jiang Hai immediately called Li Shanhai for instructions. The matter had exceeded his control, and his position was insufficient to resolve it.
Concurrently, in the capital, Ye Qingmei found an excuse to prepare to leave. Li Xiaotian, already aware of the specifics, didn't deliberately expose her. However, after Ye Qingmei departed, he secretly followed her with Long Yi. The two arrived in Jiangnan one after another.
In the bustling heart of Jiangnan City, inside the Fengxing Building, the atmosphere was chaotic, with sounds of smashing and insults constantly echoing.
Ye Qingmei rushed to the company. The moment she entered the main entrance, she was stunned by the scene before her, her face turning pale.
The company's front desk, once meticulously decorated, was now in disarray. Not a single item in sight was intact; everything had been smashed.
"Smash it for me!! Smash it hard!! Damn it, our Young Master Bai is now the owner of this company. What right do you employees have to stop us from taking over?"
"You're all just ants. Don't you know our Young Master Bai's status?"
"Brothers, smash it hard! Our Young Master Bai doesn't like this old decor or these employees. Smash it all! If any blind fool dares to block you, beat them soundly! Young Master Bai will take responsibility for any trouble!!"
Inside the company, someone was shouting loudly, accompanied by the sounds of destruction and some screams.
Hearing this, Ye Qingmei gritted her teeth, a flash of anger crossing her face, and she directly barged in.
"Everyone, stop!! I am Ye Qingmei, the owner of Fengxing Company. I have never transferred my company to anyone. You are causing trouble in my company without reason; have you no regard for the law?"
Ye Qingmei shouted as she entered the company, suppressing her inner fear, and faced a group of burly men smashing things.
"Manager Ye! Manager Ye is back!" Upon seeing Ye Qingmei appear, the employees of Fengxing Company instantly felt reassured. They all gathered around Ye Qingmei and began to rebuke the intruders.
"Hurry up and leave! Our boss is back! Look carefully, our boss is the legal representative of Fengxing Company. You forged transfer contracts, and we have the right to sue you with our lawyers!"
"Exactly, you're not welcome here. Please leave and compensate our company for all losses." The Fengxing employees spoke out one by one. They had great faith in Ye Qingmei, as they had witnessed her actions while managing the company, earning their deep respect.
At that moment, the smashers stopped their actions. There were over twenty of them, each a strong man over 1.8 meters tall, with uniform build and attire, exuding a fierce aura.
The leader, a burly man with a cigar in his mouth, looked at Ye Qingmei, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes. He then brazenly scanned Ye Qingmei's body before speaking.
"You are the owner of Fengxing, the powerful businesswoman in Jiangnan's financial circles, Ye Qingmei? Heh, not bad. You have some looks. Our Young Master Bai should like you."
The cigar-smoking man made no attempt to hide his gaze as he boldly appraised Ye Qingmei, then continued.
"Since Ms. Ye has returned, you should come with us to meet our Young Master Bai and quickly complete the procedures. Rest assured, our Young Master Bai is very fond of women. With Ms. Ye's looks, aligning with our Young Master Bai will bring you endless wealth and prosperity in the future."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingmei's expression immediately turned cold, a look of disgust flashing in her eyes. She then said sternly.
"Sir, please watch your words and don't bring trouble upon yourself. Furthermore, I will not go with you. You have forged contracts, and I will have my lawyers sue you! Now, please leave this place!"
"Heh, bring trouble upon us? Sue us with lawyers?? Ms. Ye, are you joking?" The cigar-smoking man burst into laughter upon hearing this, and the lackeys behind him also laughed unrestrainedly, each with a defiant attitude and looking at Ye Qingmei with disdain.
After all, they were Young Master Bai's men. Since they started following Young Master Bai, they were the ones who caused trouble for others; no one had ever dared to cause trouble for them, let alone sue them with some insignificant lawyers.
This was because, on this land of the Great Qin Empire, their Young Master Bai possessed the power! It could be said that he could walk sideways without any repercussions.
"Ms. Ye, it seems you still don't understand the identity of the enemy you are facing!" The cigar-smoking man's expression gradually turned grim. He then waved his hand and instructed.
"Take her away directly and let Young Master Bai have his fun for a few days. Leave some people here to continue smashing!! We Bai family members never act timidly!"
Two burly men immediately approached Ye Qingmei, their faces contorted into sinister grins, deliberately making strange noises to intimidate her.
"You. How dare you!!! Do you know who I am? If you dare to touch me, you will bring powerful enemies upon those behind you!!" Ye Qingmei was clearly scared, her heart in a panic, and she instinctively retreated.
"Enemies? Haha, in Qin, there is no one our Young Master Bai cannot afford to offend!"
However, the two burly men merely flashed a look of disdain in their eyes at Ye Qingmei's words. They were just about to grab her.
"What she said is true. If you dare to touch her, you die!!!" Just then, a cold voice echoed in everyone's ears. Li Xiaotian had arrived with Long Yi.
"Xiaotian!" Ye Qingmei's face lit up with surprise and a hint of grievance. She had thought she could handle this matter herself, but upon her return, the situation had spiraled out of her control, and as a weak woman, she was helpless. Fortunately, Xiaotian had finally arrived.
The cigar-smoking man and the others glanced at Li Xiaotian with a mocking expression and said coldly.
"You blind fool, young man, do you know the consequences of what you just said?"
