Chapter 855: 0855, come to my house for a meal! (Fifth update)

The Yang family, along with a bunch of Capital City families, have become a laughingstock in Capital City’s circles for paying ransom for a hostage.

Yang Hailong’s father didn’t understand why his uncle would rather pay the ransom and didn’t allow them to retaliate. According to his uncle, someone would take action, but it certainly wouldn’t be the Yang family taking the lead. After all, Ye Qiu had once saved Elder Ye’s life, and if Elder Ye took action, they would not be in a good position.

"But, we can’t just simply hand over twenty million to him," Yang’s father didn’t understand.

The elder said, "If you and Hailong can be safe, twenty million is worth it. If something were to happen to you and Hailong, what would become of the Yang family’s future?"

Yang’s father fell silent. He had promised his uncle to bide his time for a while, and if no one took action against Ye Qiu, he would figure something out.

Yang Hailong and the others also quieted down. Ye Qiu had now become their shadow, and they didn’t dare to take revenge. Of course, they also didn’t dare to defy their family’s wishes, so they could only bear it.

Ye Sa recounted the events that had taken place at Maple Mountain Villa to his grandfather. He didn’t understand why Ye Qiu had made an enemy so viciously since it evidently brought no benefits.

It was Ye Shuang who, after listening, was slightly startled. She hadn’t expected Ye Qiu to be so domineering, but the reason Yang Hailong and the others were trapped at Maple Mountain Villa also had something to do with herself. If it wasn’t for her, Yang Hailong would not have gone to trouble Ye Qiu, and they wouldn’t be in this situation today.

Elder Ye said, "Do you think he was really doing it just for money? This Young Master Ye, by doing so, certainly has his own purposes."

Ye Sa understood that his grandfather was hinting at him. After pondering for a while, he asked skeptically, "Is he trying to kill one to warn a hundred, doing this deliberately?"

Elder Ye nodded, "Exactly, he wants everyone to understand that he is not to be trifled with, and even without relying on our Ye family, he fears nothing."

"But what’s the point of that?" Ye Sa said.

Elder Ye sighed, "How can there be no point? Just watch, if anyone dares to continue targeting him, he will definitely strike back swiftly. A War God level powerhouse doesn’t need to rely on others, and if the families in Capital City know that he is a War God level, I suppose they would all start behaving."

War God level...

Ye Sa felt a tinge of envy; a person who reached this stage in martial arts did not need to care about powerful families, as they could act without any reservations. After all, they possess great strength and as long as they are not against the world, they could live very freely.

Elder Ye might guess a fraction of Ye Qiu’s intentions, but in the eyes of other families, Ye Qiu was seen as arrogant and overbearing, which caused many people to have a big problem with him.

The Zhao family.

"The Yang family can really endure humiliation. They dare not express this indignation. Are they afraid of the Ye family’s intervention?" The spokesperson for the Zhao family found the incident at Maple Mountain Villa amusing. "How ironic for a great Capital City family, being humiliated by a young man to this extent, and still keeping silent."

"Father, the Yang family are as timid as mice. It’s not worth mentioning them. However, this youngster came to our house a few days ago and made threats. Should we take action now? Otherwise, people might think our Zhao family is the same as the Yang family, all cowards."

"Good, I’m not afraid of the Ye family intervening. Our Zhao family won’t shrink back like turtles. Let those several families of the Yang family do that."

Afterward, the leader of the Zhao family contacted the Zhou family and the Huang family to discuss actions against Ye Qiu.

The Liu family.

"Young Master Liu, the Zhao family is preparing to take action," Ma Zhipeng relayed the news from the Zhao family.

Upon hearing this, Liu Wen chuckled, "It’s about time to show him some color. Keep a close eye on Ye Qiu and see how he reacts."

"Yes," Ma Zhipeng nodded.

...

Norwick Technologies.

Fang Sijie’s sudden recovery and return filled the entire company with joy and vigor.

"Sister Fang, who was that young man in the hospital at the time?"

"I heard it’s Sister Fang’s husband."

"Sister Fang, you’ve kept it a secret pretty well. When did you get a brother-in-law, and you didn’t even bring him around for us to see?" a female employee with strong curiosity said.

"I’ve seen Sister Fang’s husband, do you guys want to know about him?"

The atmosphere in the company was lively, especially since Fang Sijie’s return had transformed it from a still pond into a bubbling place of activity, becoming lively in an instant.

Fang Sijie’s face flushed red, she coughed to cover up her embarrassment, then sternly said, "Aren’t you all supposed to be working? Do you want to work overtime? If I hear you gossiping again, you’ll be working until ten tonight."

Immediately, the company quieted down, and Fang Sijie went up to the office on the second floor.

Before long, Fang Sijie’s secretary rushed up looking somewhat upset.

"What’s wrong?"

"Director Fang, take a look, today three companies want to terminate their contracts with us."

"How could three companies terminate their contracts at the same time?" Fang Sijie showed a puzzled expression, "Alright, you go down. I’ll make a phone call."

After Fang Sijie made the phone call, she found that the reasons given by the other party were somewhat far-fetched, but she didn’t pay much attention to it, thinking there might be special reasons.

But when the secretary came up again and said the company that was about to sign a cooperation agreement suddenly decided not to, Fang Sijie realized something was wrong. Someone must be targeting Nova Technology.

"Director Fang, someone is looking for you."

"Please invite him up." Fang Sijie was frazzled, unable to think of who was targeting her. She was sitting at the desk, rubbing her head, when she heard footsteps approaching. She then opened her eyes, "Hello, may I ask if you are looking for..."

"Ye Qiu..." Fang Sijie was surprised to see the young man in front of her, not expecting Ye Qiu to come to her company.

"What? Surprised?" Ye Qiu smiled.

At this point, many employees covertly glanced toward the second floor, some said the person who had just arrived was Fang Sijie’s husband.

"Ah, really? He looks younger than Sister Fang, oh turns out it’s a May-December romance."

"I hope he treats our Sister Fang well."

"Ahem, have you finished your work? Gossiping again, really want to work overtime, huh?"

The employees’ chatter below reached the very quiet second floor, clearly heard by the two persons upstairs, causing Fang Sijie to be unable to bear listening anymore. It wasn’t what they thought; Ye Qiu wasn’t her husband.

Fang Sijie stood at the stairway and scolded, restoring quietness thereafter.

"Sorry about that." Fang Sijie returned to her seat and shyly glanced at Ye Qiu.

"Oh, by the way, what brings you to my place?"

Trying to avoid the awkwardness, Fang Sijie quickly changed the subject.

"I don’t really have anything on, just happened to be passing by and thought I’d come to check on things," Ye Qiu smiled.

Fang Sijie responded with an "Oh," as she had thought that Ye Qiu came to the company specifically for her, only to be slightly disappointed to find out he was just passing by.

However, Fang Sijie was not a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl. Her mood quickly shifted, and she immediately hid her disappointment, saying, "Since you’re free today, come over to my place for dinner. Yinyin misses you."

"Sure." Ye Qiu accepted the invitation outright, his gaze stayed on the persistent blush on Fang Sijie’s
