My disciple, you are now invincible. Go down the mountain and wreak havoc on the world!

Everyone stared in disbelief.

Even at a time like this, he still has the mind to pick up candy?

Su Zhenbang clutched his chest, breathing even harder.

Especially seeing Ye Xunhuan's nonchalant attitude, he felt both expectant and uncertain. He couldn't catch his breath and spat out another mouthful of blood.

Ye Xunhuan glanced at him, casually took out a mint-flavored candy from his pocket, flicked it with his fingertip, and the candy landed precisely in Su Zhenbang's hand.

"Hold it in your mouth and calm your breathing."

Su Zhenbang subconsciously put the candy in his mouth, and a cool minty flavor instantly spread, sliding down his throat. The chest that had been feeling stuffy and painful actually felt much better, and even his breathing became smoother.

He paused, his gaze towards Ye Xunhuan becoming even more complicated.

At this moment, seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Su Zhenhai became even more arrogant, pointing at Ye Xunhuan and cursing:

"Stop playing tricks! If you're so capable, solve the Lu family's problems! If you can't, get out of the Su family and stop getting in the way!"

"Smack."

As soon as he finished speaking, a pink candy wrapper hit him squarely in the mouth. It wasn't a big hit, but it made his lips go numb, and he swallowed the rest of his sentence.

Ye Xunhuan, with a new lollipop in his mouth, lazily raised his eyes: "Your breath stinks, so I'll give you some sweetness to wash it off."

"you--"

Su Zhenhai was both angry and scared. He wanted to rush forward, but then he remembered the group of Lu family bodyguards with broken legs and arms on the ground, and his legs went weak. He could only stand there and utter threats.

"You just wait! When the Lu family arrives, you'll be in for a world of hurt!"

Ye Xunhuan scoffed and ignored him.

He walked over to Su Qingyuan, reached out and ruffled her hair, his tone instantly softening as if coaxing a child.

"My wife, why are you frowning? It doesn't look good, it doesn't look good."

"It's just the Lu family, the sky won't fall down."

Su Qingyuan looked up at him and met his nonchalant yet resolute gaze. Her heart, which had been pounding wildly just moments before, inexplicably calmed down a bit.

She pursed her lips and asked softly, "You... have a way?"

"Well, there is a way."

Ye Xunhuan stroked his chin, took out his phone from his pocket, swiped several times before finally finding his contacts, and tapped the screen for a long time, almost dialing the wrong number.

"After staying in the mountains for a long time, I find these smart gadgets a bit difficult to use. They're not as good as my old-fashioned mobile phone."

Ye Xunhuan mumbled to himself as he rummaged through the food.

After struggling for quite a while, he finally found the number labeled "Tuqiuzi" in the contacts, dialed it, and casually put it on speakerphone.

The phone rang only once before it was answered instantly.

A middle-aged man's voice, so excited it was almost cracking, came from the other end, so respectful he was practically kneeling on the ground.

"My God?! Mr. Ye?! You...you actually called me! I can't believe my eyes?!"

"Sir, please tell me what you need! I'll go through fire and water for you, I... I, Tuqiuzi, will never hesitate!"

Although Long Xiaotian thought the name Ye Xunhuan gave him was too corny!

There's no way around it, even if it's "earthy," we have to accept this name.

Everyone in the hall was stunned.

Zhang Cheng frowned, a hint of doubt flashing through his mind:

"Tuqiuzi"? Nobody in Jiangcheng has that name.

Ye Xunhuan, with a candy dangling from his mouth, spoke indistinctly, his tone as casual as if he were ordering takeout:

"It's nothing major. There's a Su Group in Jiangcheng, and that kid named Lu Mingyuan is suing us, freezing our accounts, and demanding 5 billion in compensation. It's quite a hassle."

The person on the other end of the phone exploded instantly: "What?! That brat Lu Mingyuan dares to touch your people? Does he have a death wish?!"

"Young Master Ye, don't worry! I'll take my men over there right now and tear down the Lu Group! I guarantee that within half an hour, Lu Mingyuan will be kneeling down and apologizing to you!"

"No need to dismantle it, it's too much trouble." Ye Xunhuan clicked his tongue, thought for a moment, and then scratched his head.

"Give your men and wait downstairs at the Su Group headquarters within half an hour. I want to see what tricks the Lu family can pull off in the world of capital."

He paused, then added, his tone a little unnatural: "Look up the address yourself, don't ask me. I don't know the way, I might just lead you to your grandma's house."

Long Xiaotian on the other end of the phone paused for a second, then immediately reacted, hurriedly replying, "Understood, understood! I know it like the back of my hand! There's no place in Jiangcheng I can't find!"

"Don't worry, sir, I'll be there on time! I guarantee I'll get it done perfectly!"

Ye Xunhuan hummed in agreement, casually hung up the phone, stuffed his phone into his pocket, took out a strawberry candy, unwrapped it, and popped it into his mouth.

The whole sequence of actions was fluid and seamless, as if he hadn't just been making a phone call to resolve a 5 billion dollar crisis, but simply had a dinner appointment with a friend.

The living room was completely silent.

Everyone stared at him blankly, not reacting for a moment.

Su Zhenhai was the first to recover, then burst out laughing, his face full of mockery:

"What are you pretending for? You think you can take care of the Lu family with just a phone call? Who do you think you are? The local tyrant of Jiangcheng, 'Long Xiaotian'? I think you're just desperate for money, putting on a show!"

"Exactly! Using 'dirt ball' and 'dung ball' like that, who knows which bastard you're calling!"

Auntie San chimed in with a shrill voice, "The Lu family is one of the top wealthy families in Jiangcheng, with assets worth hundreds of billions! You think you can handle them with just one phone call? That's laughable!"

Zhang Cheng also breathed a sigh of relief, his face regaining its previous indifference and disdain.

He knew that this kid was just a brute who could fight, and was no match for absolute capital and power.

That phone call was just a bluff.

"Mr. Ye, pretentiousness won't work." Zhang Cheng straightened his suit, his tone carrying undisguised superiority.

"The court summons has taken effect, and the Su family's account will be frozen on time tomorrow morning."

"If the Su family can't raise 5 billion in three days, they'll go bankrupt."

"No matter how good you are at fighting, can you go against the law, or against the entire Lu family?"

Ye Xunhuan leaned back on the sofa, swinging his legs, chewing on a candy, without even lifting his eyelids.

"Confrontation? Not really. We're just playing along with the Lu family."

"you--"

Zhang Cheng was infuriated by his stubbornness and sneered, "Fine, I'll see how long you can keep up this act. Once the account is frozen tomorrow, let's see how you keep your mouth shut."

Su Qingyuan clenched the hem of her clothes, feeling a little apprehensive.

She didn't know who Ye Xunhuan was calling, nor did she know if the other party could actually solve the problem, but seeing his calm and collected demeanor, she ultimately chose to believe him.

Su Zhenbang had a mint in his mouth, and the tightness in his chest had mostly dissipated.

Looking at Ye Xunhuan's composed demeanor, his unease gradually subsided, replaced by a faint sense of anticipation.

Just then, a series of rapid and ear-piercing braking sounds came from outside the villa.

"squeak--!"

"squeak--!"

One sound after another, incessantly, as if a dozen or even dozens of cars had suddenly stopped at the entrance at the same time, the sound of tires rubbing against the ground being particularly clear in the night.

Everyone in the living room was stunned and subconsciously turned to look in the direction of the villa's main gate.

The villa's floor-to-ceiling windows face the yard, offering a clear view of the outside scenery.

Under the pitch-black night sky, a long row of gleaming black luxury cars were neatly parked at the entrance.

From Rolls-Royce Phantom to Maybach and Bentley, each one is more expensive than the last. Their bodies gleam coldly under the streetlights, stretching as far as the eye can see, a dark and imposing mass that makes it hard to breathe.

The next second, all the car doors opened simultaneously.

A group of men dressed in sharp black suits and exuding a powerful aura stepped out of the car. Each of them was tall and had a steady gait, clearly not ordinary subordinates.

Leading the way was a ruthless man with a beer belly, messy hair, a scar between his eyebrows, and a fierce look.

As he strode towards the villa, he hurriedly straightened his clothes buttons, his face filled with a solemn and excited expression.

Behind him followed a large group of people, at least several dozen, making it seem as if half of Jiangcheng's business community had come.

The living room fell into a deathly silence.

The mockery on Su Zhenhai's face was still frozen, his eyes wide like copper bells as he stared at the row of luxury cars worth tens of millions outside. His legs began to go weak again, and with a "thump," he collapsed to the ground, just like before.

Zhao Zhenyu stared intently at the middle-aged man walking at the front, his pupils suddenly contracting, his smugness completely shattering, replaced by unbelievable terror.

He recognized him.

That person is "Long Xiaotian," not the "Tuqiuzi" Ye Xunhuan mentioned.

He is the true local tyrant of Jiangcheng, with his gray-market businesses spanning the entire city! He is the undisputed figure in Jiangcheng's gray-market industry!

Even the head of the Lu family treats him with utmost respect!

How could it be him?!

How did he end up here?!

Zhao Zhenyu's mind went blank with a "buzz".

He suddenly turned his head to look at the young man on the sofa who was casually swinging his legs while sucking on a lollipop, and his back instantly became covered in cold sweat.

Just who exactly is this Ye Xunhuan?!
