The police car came to a halt right next to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen smiled, opened the car door for Zhang Yantong, and she stepped out of the driver’s side.

Glancing at Ye Chen, she said, “What’s up, turning back?

Don’t tell me you want to go back and kill someone to silence them?”

“How could I?

This is China, a country governed by the rule of law.

How could we do such a thing!” Ye Chen chuckled, scratched his head and said, “Actually, I wanted to get something back from you!”

“What?” Zhang Yantong was taken aback.

“It’s about what you promised me last time, Jianghuai Hotpot City in University City.

You didn’t forget, did you?” Ye Chen said with a smirk.

“That matter?

Do you have the money?” Zhang Yantong laughed and said, “To take over that hotpot city would cost at least 300,000 at the very least, right?”

As far as Zhang Yantong was concerned, Ye Chen was unlikely to have 300,000.

The territory of the hotpot city was sizable with two floors, fully equipped with both the installations and the staff, ready to sign the contract immediately upon payment.

Currently, the authority over the hotpot city lay with the police.

Zhang Dadan had been arrested, so all his properties were temporarily seized and the funds in the banks were frozen.

Once the court sentenced him, all assets were expected to be auctioned off.

“300,000?

No problem, a piece of cake!” Ye Chen said with a grin.

Not to mention 300,000 even three million was not an issue.

Zhang Yantong looked at Ye Chen skeptically.

How come this guy seemed so confident?

300,000?

Even if one looked around the whole Jianghuai City, there didn’t seem to be many ordinary people who could cough up 300,000 in one go.

Just a while ago, this fellow was broke as could be.

How could he suddenly afford to pay out 300,000 now?

“Where did you get the money?” Zhang Yantong looked at him in confusion.

“Officer Zhang, aren’t you asking too many questions?” Ye Chen laughed and said, “The Emperor rules over heaven and earth but can’t control the people’s bowel movements and farts.

Do you really need to inquire about where my money comes from?

You can’t expect me to tell you I earned it working nights at the bar, can you?”

“Jerk!” Zhang Yantong was fuming mad at Ye Chen, gritting her teeth as she said, “Don’t forget, the contract for the hotpot city is in my hands.

You want it?

Hmph, I’ll be waiting for you at the police station tomorrow morning.

Bring the money if you have it, but don’t count on me to open any back doors for you if you don’t!”

Bang!

With that, she got in the car and drove away, leaving Ye Chen standing there immobile with Haozi and Da Xia.

Ye Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead and thought to himself, damn, this chick is really fierce, clicking his tongue in wonder at how she always seems aggressive towards him, showing none of the gentle qualities of a woman.

Then there’s our Momo, gentle and skillful…

“Big brother…” Haozi had just opened his mouth when Ye Chen interrupted, “That’s enough, let’s go!”

“Yes!” Haozi and Da Xia led the way.

The trio quickly vanished into the night towards the foot of Xiangming Mountain in Jianghuai City, where a derelict building stood.

Ye Chen and his group appeared outside the building while Da Xia stood guard outside.

“Big brother, you go ahead.

I’ll keep watch!” said Da Xia.

Ye Chen nodded, and Haozi quickly led the way inside.

“Big brother, the other party is from Hong Kong, and the supply came from the Golden Triangle,” Haozi explained as they ran.

“Hmm, as long as nothing goes wrong this time.

It doesn’t matter whose people they are; if they’re passing under my nose, they’ve got to be plucked!” Ye Chen said with a cold smile.

Having the character to take advantage of such a transaction, Ye Chen wouldn’t care for the goods, but the money was a must.

So, when the transaction was taking place, Ye Chen had immediately arranged for Haozi and Da Xia to lie in ambush at another location near the port.

Following Haozi’s lead, Ye Chen quickly and silently entered the interior of the derelict building.

Haozi pulled out a military flashlight, which was very bright, illuminating the surroundings as if it were daylight.

He then swiftly picked up a black leather case from an inconspicuous pile of debris and threw it in front of Ye Chen, saying, “All here, big brother!”

“Open it!” Ye Chen commanded with a wave of his hand.

Click!

Haozi’s method was simple but effective, swinging a large stone and smashing it down hard.

The lock on the case was instantly split in two.

Prising it open, stack upon stack of crisp green bills lay in front of the two.

“Damn!” Ye Chen was stunned; the big case was filled with bundles of Hundred-dollar bills, not RMB but US dollars, and they were all five hundred-dollar bills.

Damn it, this was annoying.

The money would have to be exchanged before it could be spent here.

Ye Chen grabbed a bundle and inspected it; they were all genuine and sequential.

It seemed Zhang Dadan did have some ability, managing to get such neat stacks of US dollars.

With a sly smile, Ye Chen gestured, “Take them all!”

“Yes!” Haozi nodded.

The three of them quickly left Xiangming Mountain and, in one go, got back to Xin Hai Apartment.

A big box of bills was thrown onto the ground, spilling green US dollars all over—the five million dollars was comprised of ten thousand hundred-dollar bills.

The weight alone must have been several tens of kilograms.

“Big Brother, it might be a bit troublesome to use this money!” Haozi looked at Ye Chen with a serious expression.

“What’s there to be afraid of?” Ye Chen smiled faintly and said, “It’s just five million, huh?

Besides, Hong Kong is across the sea, are they going to come over here and fight?

Huh, even if they did come, so what?

How would they know who took the money?”

“Right, we just need to be careful then!” Haozi nodded in agreement.

“When we get back, we’ll find someone on the black market to exchange it, all into RMB, and deposit it into our accounts.

We’ll rise again sooner or later, huh, but this amount of money might not even be enough,” Ye Chen sighed and said, “The Golden Triangle is just too chaotic, damn it, I don’t even know who I’ve offended.

Why is the Great General always targeting me?”

“That…” Da Xia wanted to speak, but Haozi immediately stopped him.

“Right!” Ye Chen suddenly pulled out a photo from his chest and placed it in front of the two, saying, “Do you guys recognize this person?”

“Ah?!” Da Xia exclaimed, and Haozi was also stunned.

The person in the photo looked so familiar.

How could they not recognize him?

The two hated the guy in the photo to their bones.

Da Xia and Haozi exchanged glances, not daring to make a sound.

Duke had personally ordered them not to let Ye Chen regain his memory for the time being, to only help him recover his memory at the appropriate time.

The two stared intently at the photo, afraid that Ye Chen might inadvertently awaken his memories after seeing it.

“Do you recognize him or not?” Ye Chen glared at them impatiently.

“We don’t recognize him!” The two hastily shook their heads, as if shaking a rattle drum.

“Don’t recognize him, huh?

Sigh, never mind then!” Ye Chen felt helpless and tucked the photo back into his pocket, saying, “Yao Yue has investigated clearly.

Behind the Great General is this guy pulling the strings.

What kind of grudge do I have with him, huh?

This bastard has destroyed all my influence and is still hot on my heels, damn his mother!

If I catch him, I swear I’ll whip his mouth with my shoe!”

Da Xia and Haozi secretly covered their mouths and laughed, but both were very much looking forward to that day.

Jianghuai City black market, the foreign currency black market in the entire city, had nearly monopolized all of Jianghuai’s foreign exchange.

Hardly anyone went to banks to exchange money anymore, as the banks’ exchange rates were obviously not as high as those of the black market.

So, generally, people would go to the black market to exchange.

Of course, large companies always went to banks to avoid unnecessary trouble.

And the entire black market was controlled by the Flame Dragon Gang.

Black market for a reason; without its shady dealings, there would be no market.

In the black market, there was nothing you couldn’t buy, from smuggled cars to illegal drugs; from foreign currency exchange to human trafficking, there was no shortage of anything, only things you couldn’t think of.

“Hey, got a big deal, wanna do it?” Haozi, dressed in black, approached the storefront bearing the sign for currency exchange.

Inside, several men were playing cards, seemingly without much business, but business in the black market was mostly walk-in unless it was a big deal requiring an appointment in advance.

“Damn it, how big of a deal?” A bare-chested man glared at Haozi.

“Five million…

US dollars!”

Clang!

The bare-chested man toppled over from his chair, which fell to the ground as he scrambled to his feet, incredulously staring at Haozi, rubbing his buttocks and saying, “Are you kidding me, kid?”

“Not kidding, five million, not a penny more, not a penny less.

If you don’t want it, I’ll find someone else!” Haozi, with a cap on his head covering most of his face, looked secretive.

The bare-chested man gave a cold smile and said, “Miss one and there will be none left!”

With that, Haozi turned and walked away.

“Hey, bro, wait!” The bare-chested man hurriedly called the others to him and said, “Guys, stop playing, pack up, we’ve got business!”

“Do you really have five million, kid?” A man in a flowered shirt eyed Haozi suspiciously, as he didn’t seem like someone who owned five million.

He stood up and approached Haozi, sizing him up and down, and said, “If you’re fooling us, huh, you won’t be able to bear the consequences!”

“You mean Flame Dragon Gang conducts business so meekly?” Haozi spoke and turned to leave.

“Hey hey, brother, wait a sec!” The bare-chested man hurriedly threw on a jacket and chased after him, grabbing Haozi’s arm and saying, “My little brother doesn’t know any better, please don’t blame him, let’s go and check it out right now!”

“Fine, if you trust me, let’s go!” Haozi nodded.

The bare-chested man quickly drove Haozi towards the direction of Xin Hai Apartment.
