At this moment, several martial artists from the Shen family had already silently surrounded Yun Chen.

Yun Chen had also completely understood Shen Hongying's stance and his position as a clown in her heart.

So let's not talk about personal relationships now, just treat everyone equally.

"Miss Shen seems to have misunderstood something. This car is mine now, and whether I sell it to you or not is up to me! If you really want to buy it, it'll cost five hundred million! But if you don't think you have that kind of money, then don't even bother asking."

These words were like a thunderclap, leaving the entire room stunned and speechless.

"Holy crap! That's outrageous!"

"How...how dare he? How dare he provoke the Shen family like this?"

"He's offended the Li family on one hand, and the Shen family on the other. Does he...do he really have a death wish?"

Shen Hongying was so angry she was practically fuming.

She could have directly offered Li Ze 20 million yuan, but to show off the Shen family's prestige, she deliberately said she would refund the full amount, since the car wouldn't be hard to sell anyway.

This approach did indeed receive everyone's approval just now.

But to everyone's surprise, Yun Chen took advantage of the situation and immediately doubled the price.

But Yun Chen is right. The car has already completed all the paperwork, and it's their business how much they want to sell it for.

Shen Hongying is in a very awkward situation now; it's no longer about the money.

If we back down now, we will become the laughingstock of the whole city.

Just as she was hesitating...

"Snap—!"

Li Ze's right wrist was snapped, the sound of which shocked everyone present.

Li Ze wailed in agony, utterly powerless to resist.

"That's enough! Give him 500 million!"

Shen Hongying knew she couldn't hesitate any longer. Yun Chen was like a brainless mad dog, never playing by the rules.

Yun Chen rubbed his hands on Li Ze, then casually tossed him to the ground like trash.

To everyone's astonishment, the transfer of 500 million yuan was completed, and the contract was torn up on the spot.

"Now, you, get out of here right now!"

Shen Hongying's face turned ashen as she pointed at Yun Chen and berated him.

Having made over 200 million yuan for free, Yun Chen gradually smiled.

Just when everyone thought Yun Chen would definitely take the opportunity to leave, he looked at Shen Hongying with a beaming smile.

"We haven't finished talking about the bet. What if I show up in front of you tomorrow completely unharmed?"

Shen Hongying now wished she could slap this smug little guy to death, and nodded through gritted teeth:

"Okay! If you can do that, I'll give you another hundred million."

Yun Chen waved his hand.

"I'm not greedy. Your Shen family has such a rich foundation, you must have plenty of precious medicinal herbs, right? Let's bet ten precious medicinal herbs."

For Yun Chen, money was not a problem. Although the precious medicine was valuable, it was not something that could be bought at any time.

There aren't many places like Jishetang.

However, it is different for grandmaster families. With hundreds of years of heritage, they must have a considerable stock of these essential items for martial arts training.

Upon hearing that Yun Chen wanted to gamble on the precious medicine, Shen Hongying hesitated for a moment.

Compared to money, precious medicine is the foundation upon which the Grandmaster family relies for survival.

She could recklessly gamble away 100 million yuan, but she was worried that her family would question her if they found out about gambling on ten precious medicinal herbs.

Just then, Yun Chen waved his hand with a smile: "Never mind, since Miss Shen can't make the decision, let's just consider it a joke."

His tone was very magnanimous, as if he were forgiving a child who had done something wrong.

At this moment, Shen Hongying lost all face, and a fierce killing intent flashed in her eyes.

"Fine! I'll bet you, you'll be a cripple by tomorrow."

This is equivalent to a vow.

In everyone's eyes, Yun Chen was completely ruined.

The agreement was simple: both parties pressed their fingerprints on it, and each kept a copy.

There are no life or death clauses, and no witnesses are required.

Yun Chen smiled as he carefully put away his copy of the agreement, then kicked Li Ze, who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead.

"Hey! You still owe me ten precious herbs from Bakuho Nightclub tonight."

Li Ze grinned, his mouth stained with blood, and forced out an ugly smile.

"I...I know I'll make sure you're satisfied tonight."

Just then, Qiao Zhiyao, who had been watching the commotion, spoke up.

She pointed at Zhou Manman: "And don't forget about this woman!"

Zhou Manman naturally remembered that when they were in the clothing store, this woman had instigated her to serve Yun Chen with her mouth.

Zhou Manman cursed Li Ze in her heart for being a good-for-nothing, but she also believed that the Li family would not sit idly by, especially since the Bakugo Nightclub was Li family territory.

Yun Chen is doomed tonight.

And that woman across the street who loves to watch the drama unfold—we must make those security guards take turns killing her.

A playful smile curved her lips as she ran her fair fingers through a stray strand of hair by her ear.

"Alright! As long as you dare to go, I will naturally keep my promise."

Qiao Zhiyao laughed a few times, then pulled Yun Chen outside.

"Hurry up. Today is very busy; we have a banquet tonight and also need to go out for some entertainment."

Watching the two leave through the gate, Shen Hongying looked at Li Ze with a dark expression.

"Come with me!"

Upon arriving at the office, Shen Hongying plopped down in the boss's chair and immediately began to berate:

"You're supposed to be from a family of grandmasters, yet you can't even handle a nobody? You almost caused my Shen family to lose face today!"

Li Ze was so frightened that he trembled.

"Miss Shen, I... I was careless when I went out today and didn't bring many people with me, which is why he bullied me twice..."

Li Ze also recounted what had happened at the clothing store.

"I've already called my older brother; he should be back in Canghai City by now. I'll definitely take care of that guy tonight! And the Li family will definitely compensate you for your losses."

Shen Hongying's anger immediately subsided.

The reason I got angry just now was to put pressure on Li Ze.

The Li family must get involved in this matter; only then can the favor they just received be considered properly done.

Now that Li Xian is going to step in to resolve this, there will be no further deviations in this matter.

Seeing that the other person's expression had softened, Li Ze asked, "That woman just now...?"

“Pah!”

Shen Hongying slammed her hand on the table, interrupting Li Ze's question.

She knew very well that Li Ze was asking about Qiao Zhiyao.

But she wouldn't reveal Qiao Zhiyao's identity.

On the one hand, the Qiao family cares a lot about their reputation and has always kept a low profile in this regard.

On the other hand, the Shen family and the Li family have always been secretly competing, and their strengths are about the same.

If the Li family makes a move against Qiao Zhiyao, they will definitely face suppression from Qiao Qingshan.

This is definitely a good thing for the Shen family.

"You vile men are always thinking about bullying women! If I find out that your Li family dared to kill a woman today, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Li Ze was so frightened that he nodded repeatedly, not daring to ask any more questions, and didn't think much of it.

He knew that Shen Hongying had always been a feminist, so it was only natural that she would say such a thing.

As for why Shen Hongying and Qiao Zhiyao appeared together just now, it was probably just that Shen Hongying was providing some emotional value to the big client who spent 250 million.

Shen Hongying, on the other hand, was calculating that although there had been some setbacks today, the Shen family had not suffered any losses.

That car will definitely sell.

Even if the Li family is unwilling, they will still compensate the Shen family.

After all, saving face is more important than anything else.

I've made a profit on this deal today.

And no matter what happens tonight, the Li family will definitely bear the responsibility.

From any perspective, what I've done today will satisfy my family.

As the sun sets, the daytime hustle and bustle of Canghai City gradually subsides.

People on the street slowed down, seemingly relieving the tension and fatigue of the day.

The Mingde Hotel is already decorated with lanterns and streamers.

In the hotel lobby, rows of poster stands bearing Xue Ming's photo are neatly arranged.

The banquet hall had over a hundred tables, and every single one was occupied.

Xue Ming, full of high spirits, had changed into his brand-new uniform and was nodding and greeting the guests who came to offer their congratulations with a beaming smile.

The main table is large enough to accommodate twenty people for dining.

Xiao Changkong and Zhao Tianhu were present, along with Zhao Qiaohui and Li Peifang.

Of the five grandmaster families, only Lin Ruoxi attended. The other four grandmaster families sent congratulatory gifts, but for some reason, they did not attend.

Meng Hui had applied a special ointment, and his face was now less swollen. He was sitting smugly next to Lin Ruoxi.

He was also the only one of the four major families in Canghai City to send a representative to the event.

Of the other three families, only the Su family did not attend, nor did they send any gifts.

Next to the main table is a particularly exquisite octagonal table, on which the tableware is quite valuable.

That was the seat reserved for City Lord Qiao Qingshan. Even though Qiao Qingshan replied that he might not come and might have a family member attend on his behalf, the table had to be reserved for him.

At the same time, regardless of whether anyone from the city lord's mansion comes to offer congratulations, the mere presence of this table speaks volumes.

Xue Ming delivered a passionate speech.

Everyone knows that such a young deputy director has a limitless future.

Thunderous applause and cheers erupted from the audience.

Xue Ming scanned the entire room but did not find Xiao Hanyi, and immediately felt displeased.

This time, he really went all out, giving Director Cao Fei a big gift.

This allowed Cao Fei to withstand the pressure and demand an explanation from the Zhenwu Division.

Normally, no matter how hard Cao Fei tries, the Zhenwu Division will not compromise.

But coincidentally, the head of the Zhenwu Division was not at home, and the deputy envoy of Zhenwu, Zhang Quan, had just had an irreconcilable conflict with Xiao Hanyi that day.

The thought of Xiao Hanyi coming to apologize filled Xue Ming with uncontrollable excitement, so he decided to warm up in advance so that he could humiliate Xiao Hanyi later.

He gestured with his hand: "Today, I, Xue, have also arranged a little entertainment for everyone."

Everyone knew there was a hidden meaning in his words.

Xue Ming continued, "The goddess constable of the Zhenwu Division will also be attending my promotion celebration banquet today. At that time, she will perform a show that will surprise everyone."
