"Even if I do nothing, he won't let me off, will he?" Ye Zhi said in a deep voice, "Rather than wait to die, I might as well take the initiative!"
Qi Xuan nodded in approval, "You do think things through. However, Ou Minghan is very cautious. His subordinates manage the Xingmeng Club, and there is no direct connection between them and him on the surface.
Moreover, although the Xingmeng Club engages in some illegal activities in secret, their methods are clean. To the outside world, it is just a normally operating club. What do you plan to do? You can't deal with them with just blind courage."
"Since it's out in the open, dealing with them is much simpler," Ye Zhi said calmly. "Of course, it's impossible to catch them all at once, but it's quite easy to cause them some minor trouble and force them to suspend business for ten days to half a month."
"Oh?" Qi Xuan asked with interest, "What do you plan to do?"
"How about this, Young Master Qi," Ye Zhi said with a smile, looking at him, "If you also think my method is feasible, would you be the one to execute it?"
"Tell me," Qi Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly. Was she trying to drag him into this too?
"My method is... to report them."
"Ou Minghan has good connections. Even if you have any evidence, he can find a way to suppress it. It will be difficult to get the Xingmeng Club to suspend operations, won't it?"
"Young Master Qi, I plan to report them for failing to meet fire safety standards," Ye Zhi blinked. "I went there yesterday and took quite a few photos. Their fire safety awareness is very poor."
Qi Xuan was slightly stunned and then chuckled. She wasn't planning to confront Ou Minghan head-on but was using a somewhat devious yet clever method. However, it had to be said, this method was very effective.
"This is indeed a good idea, you are very smart," Qi Xuan said with a light smile. "Give me the photos, and I'll handle the rest."
"Thank you, Young Master Qi then~" Ye Zhi smiled faintly, completely relieved.
She had wanted to take action against the Xingmeng Club for a long time. The reason Zhou Chengyuan dared to openly put something in her wine yesterday was because it was Ou Minghan's territory.
Furthermore, Ou Minghan's subordinates often drugged innocent women and sent them to Zhou Chengyuan's bed.
Allowing them to suspend operations for a while would also prevent them from harming more people. Moreover, with Qi Xuan handling it, Ou Minghan would never be able to trace it back to her, no matter how he investigated.
"This also proves my capability, so you can invest with peace of mind!" she said, looking at Qi Xuan and patting her chest. "I guarantee that your investment will absolutely be profitable."
"There is no such thing as a guaranteed profit in this world," Qi Xuan's eyes flickered. "You don't think a single meal can earn you my investment, do you?"
"Then..." Ye Zhi frowned, "Two meals?"
Qi Xuan: ...
Perhaps he would have to cook the next meal too? Ye Zhi had become addicted to his cooking, hadn't she?
Qi Xuan stood up and said, "Prepare a business proposal and show it to me another day. I will consider whether to invest based on your proposal."
"Okay," Ye Zhi nodded.
Qi Xuan not agreeing on the spot was within her expectations. After all, investing involved considering various risks.
If he had agreed so easily, Ye Zhi would have felt that she had chosen the wrong person. After all, friendship was friendship, and business was business. Moreover, they didn't really have any friendship between them.
After Qi Xuan helped clean up the aftermath, he took his leave.
As soon as he left, Ye Zhi received a call from Ye Qinya.
"Sister, tomorrow is the weekend, let's go out and have fun together..."
"No," Ye Zhi refused decisively, "I don't want to be a third wheel."
Ye Qinya hurriedly said, "It's not just me and Minghan, there are other friends too..."
"I have to work overtime tomorrow," Ye Zhi calmly gave an unrefusable reason.
Ye Qinya was stunned for a moment. She then persuaded, "Sister, can't you just assign the work to others? Why do you have to work so hard?"
"I don't want to work hard either," Ye Zhi said sarcastically, "but if I don't work hard, what if something like substandard building materials happens again?"
"But..." Ye Qinya muttered softly, "Are there so many bad people in this world?"
Ye Zhi's blood pressure instantly surged. Ye Qinya's thought process was truly beyond that of an ordinary person. Talking to someone like her was a waste of breath.
"Do you have anything else? If not, I'm hanging up," Ye Zhi asked indifferently.
"Sister, wait a moment! That..." Ye Qinya said somewhat shyly, "I heard that Young Master Zhou went to the company to send you flowers today, is that true?"
"Yes, that's right," Ye Zhi's eyes turned cold. It seemed this was the real purpose of Ye Qinya's call.
"Sister, Young Master Zhou is a very good person, very considerate, very gentle, and very good at taking care of girls..."
Ye Zhi felt her blood pressure surge again. She believed that even if she told Ye Qinya about drugging Zhou Chengyuan and forcing innocent women, Ye Qinya would just lightly dismiss it with, "No way, Young Master Zhou isn't that kind of person." Therefore, in such a situation, she could only fight fire with fire.
"Qinya," Ye Zhi interrupted her sternly, "Although times have changed, when it comes to relationships, you still need to be responsible. Even if you fall in love with someone else, you should end your previous relationship first and not play the field."
"Sister, what are you talking about?" Ye Qinya said, looking bewildered and flustered, "I'm not playing the field..."
"Qinya, I'm your elder sister, you don't have to hide it from me," Ye Zhi continued. "I can see that compared to the overbearing and uncaring Ou Minghan, the gentle and considerate Zhou Chengyuan is indeed more captivating to your heart. If you want to break up, you don't need to worry. I'll personally ask Ou Minghan out tomorrow and help you negotiate the breakup..."
"Wait! Sister!" Ye Qinya said hurriedly, "Minghan and I have a very good relationship, and I have no intention of breaking up! I also haven't transferred my affections to Young Master Zhou, I don't like him!"
Ye Zhi was greatly puzzled, "You know him so well, and you praised him more just now than you did your boyfriend. How can that not be liking him? Qinya, perhaps you don't even understand your own feelings. Don't worry, when I see Zhou Chengyuan next time, I will definitely try to match you two up..."
"Sister! No! I really have nothing with him..." Ye Qinya stammered, both angry and anxious, "Young Master Zhou likes you!"
"Qinya, that's not fair," Ye Zhi said displeased. "Even if you don't want to break up and are having a secret relationship, why are you using me as a shield? Although I'm your sister, I won't be this sucker!"
