Chapter 425: 0426 New Crisis

The gravity oppression index skyrocketed crazily.

Everyone present had trained in the gravity training room before and knew full well how terrifying an oppression index of tens of thousands could be; however, the rate at which Ye Qiu increased the gravity oppression index was as casual as drinking water, and the speed of increase was horrifying.

Every person watching the index on the meter stood like statues, their expressions wooden.

Is this the strength of the top ten?

When the gravity oppression index reached 170,000, the meter finally stopped its wild climb, and came to a halt.

An oppression index of 100,000 times gravity—what concept was that? No one knew for sure, only feeling that it was an extremely terrifying number. Those who could only withstand an oppression index of 10,000 times knew that if it were them under such oppression, they would only be crushed into a pancake, yet at this moment, inside the gravity training room, one person was bearing it all resiliently.

When Ye Qiu emerged from the gravity training room, everyone stared at him as if looking at a monster.

Ye Qiu hadn’t expected so many people standing at the door, all their attention focused on him; he greeted Mu Zhige and Lin Wurou, then slowly made his way to his room.

It wasn’t until Ye Qiu disappeared that the people snapped out of it.

"That’s Master Ye, ah! He doesn’t look all that frightening, but how could he withstand such terrifying pressure!"

The new members who had never seen Ye Qiu before found the face they just witnessed unbelievable. Some of the female members’ eyes sparkled, their expressions showing they almost wanted to strip Ye Qiu naked to see through him.

The veterans of Longjia could not calm down for a long time, acutely aware of the vast gap between them and Ye Qiu, as significant as a chasm.

The crowd dispersed but the discussions about Ye Qiu only grew more heated.

Ye Qiu, having just returned, had once again set a record, a number that made people awe-stricken.

Among the newcomers at Longjia, curiosity about what other amazing feats Ye Qiu could have performed ran high, continuously prompting questions, while the old members remained silently thoughtful, with some who couldn’t accept defeat immediately entering seclusion, and others rushing into the gravity training room to train frantically.

"This kid, making such a big commotion upon returning," the Old Rogue remarked.

The instant Ye Qiu set the record, the news had reached here, and both the Old Rogue and Mei Huiling, after their initial shock, felt relieved.

Mei Huiling’s eyes were full of anticipation, "This kid always manages to shock people. No wonder he managed to return alive from the wrath of the Condor family; even the top five among the top ten might not be able to achieve this."

The Old Rogue coughed, correcting her, "Not just top five, even the top three couldn’t achieve this. The disciples I teach must be extraordinary."

Mei Huiling looked at the Old Rogue’s smug expression, and once again placed her jade hand on his waist, just about to exert force, the Old Rogue quickly added with a laugh, "You’ve played a significant role in this too."

Mei Huiling withdrew her hand contently, showing a knowing smile.

The next day, Ye Qiu left the base, with three days left until the top ten reward; he planned to return to the Goddess Villa for a visit.

Mei Huiling sent a new member of Longjia to drive Ye Qiu back, and on the road, this new member found Ye Qiu very amiable, without any airs of a master, leading to an increase in their conversation.

After an hour-long drive, having answered all the curiosities of the newcomer, the car arrived at the gates of the Goddess Villa.

Ye Qiu waved his hand, and the excited new member from Longjia drove off.

Ye Qiu looked at the neighborhood adorned with colorful lights and two snowmen piled up in front of the Goddess Villa, and couldn’t help but smile knowingly; this must be Niu Yinyin’s handiwork.

Ye Qiu pushed open the door and entered. Instead of seeing Niu Yinyin’s adorable smile in the room, it was Butler Liu standing in the middle of the hall watching the cleaners tidy up the room.

"Butler Liu."

"Master Ye."

Butler Liu looked at Ye Qiu in surprise, as he hadn’t seen him for some time.

"Why don’t I see Niu Yinyin and Shen Mengchen?" Ye Qiu glanced around the room, which only had two cleaners besides himself and no other women.

"Miss Niu was taken to the Shangguan’s by Miss Shangguan Mingyue, and Miss Shen is currently handling company matters. The house has been empty for nearly half a month. With the upcoming Chinese New Year, I hired someone to clean it up to prevent dust accumulation," said Butler Liu.

As the butler of the Shen family, Butler Liu held a unique status. He was an old man who had followed Shen Tianlong, and although his title was butler, he might as well have been considered part of Shen Mengchen’s family.

Ye Qiu muttered under his breath. Niu Yinyin being taken to the Shangguans by Shangguan Mingyue was somewhat unexpected. Considering Shangguan Mingyue’s stunning beauty, it was no wonder she was easily lured away. After all, Yinyin was very fond of Shangguan Mingyue.

Casually asking about the company, Butler Liu hesitated and finally managed only to say, "It’s alright." Ye Qiu furrowed his brows, sensing that things were not as simple as Butler Liu claimed.

"Butler Liu, Longjia is now managed by Shen Mengchen. If you encounter any insurmountable difficulties, you can talk to me. Director Shen also entrusted me to help Shen Mengchen," Ye Qiu said.

Butler Liu sighed. Shen Mengchen had repeatedly instructed him not to disclose their troubles to anyone, but Ye Qiu was not an outsider. Perhaps he could help resolve the current crisis at Longjia.

"Master Ye, actually, the situation with the young lady is not good; Longjia has fallen into crisis," Butler Liu sighed.

"What exactly happened?"

"Over this period..." Butler Liu began to describe in detail the various difficulties faced by Longjia during Ye Qiu’s absence.

Longjia’s expansion into external markets had failed, and their collaboration with the Shangguan family had also been put on hold.

Just half a month ago, Longjia, which was initially on the verge of success, suddenly faced restrictions from business associations in various locations, breaking the newly formed external market.

"Have you figured out who is behind this?" Ye Qiu asked.

Butler Liu shook his head: "The young mistress hasn’t eaten or drunk for days due to this issue, but alas, the opponent’s power is too great. Even with the business associations across various provinces specifically targeting Longjia, the Shangguan family is helpless."

Ye Qiu frowned. With that said, the opponent was powerful, extending far beyond the Zhongshan region to encompass all of Huaxia, which was terrifying. When had Longjia gained such a formidable enemy?

Ye Qiu felt that this matter was not simple; without uncovering the person behind it, it was impossible to resolve the present hardships.

He could imagine how distressed Shen Mengchen must have been because of this, likely not having slept peacefully for a long while.

The young lady must still be trying hard, wracking her brains to solve the current crisis.

"Master Ye, actually, the dangers facing Longjia go beyond just this. In trying to explore external markets, Longjia had eased up on its economic strategy in the Zhongshan local market, and now, neither front is performing well. Rongda is watching eagerly from the sidelines, and the Dawa Group has made several moves to take over Longjia’s share in the Zhongshan market."

"Most importantly, the young mistress’s personal safety is now under threat." Butler Liu’s previous words were troubling, but the last statement truly alarmed Ye Qiu.

"Someone wants to harm Shen Mengchen?" Ye Qiu’s expression grew cold. If it was just business competition, using any commercial means, Ye Qiu would not get angry, but once it involved personal safety, he had to take it seriously. He had promised Shen Tianlong to ensure Shen Mengchen’s safety. Now that someone was targeting her, Ye Qiu would absolutely not allow this to happen.

"No matter who is behind it, as long as they intend to harm Shen Mengchen, I will not let you go," Ye Qiu declared menacingly.
