Warlord: Starting with Subduing Little A Qiao

Other business tycoons and high-ranking officials, as well as consuls and ministers from various concessions, also looked incredulous.

It is important to know that Mrs. Yokota has always maintained connections with high-ranking officials in Shanghai.

Everyone present had some form of business dealings or dealings with Mrs. Yokota.

They could hardly believe that the woman who had been laughing and joking with them just moments before was actually Yoshiko Yamaguchi of the Tianlong Society!

The banquet on August 823rd was also attended by Detective Ma from the French Concession Police Station. He was about to make a move when he was stopped by a glance from his minister.

Yes, Yoshiko Yamaguchi was notorious for killing many Chinese people.

The police station has always been in charge of matters within the concession, so this matter will probably have to be handed over to the police station, which is in charge of matters outside the concession.

Moreover, Yoshiko Yamaguchi has the backing of the Japanese concession and the Tianlong Society...

Thinking of this, Detective Ma completely abandoned the idea of ​​taking action.

Mr. Ye, you've really bitten off more than you can chew this time.

Just as Detective Ma had expected, the police chief, who was also attending the banquet, strode over.

As Yoshiko Yamaguchi was a spy for the Heavenly Dragon Society, the police had issued an arrest warrant long ago!

Seeing that Mrs. Yokota was Yoshiko Yamaguchi, the police chief standing nearby took action.

"Catch him!"

After his officers handcuffed Madam Yokota, the police chief saluted Ye Bai, who was standing to the side.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Ye, for your great help!"

After saying that, the police chief led his men away.

At this moment, Mrs. Yokota, who was handcuffed, did not make any rash moves.

However, as she left, she turned back to look at Ye Bai one last time, her lips moving slightly.

It's clearly a statement.

Mr. Ye, I will come back again.

Seeing this, Ye Bai narrowed his eyes.

After this incident, he must have completely broken ties with the people in the Japanese concession.

At the same time, they also got into big trouble with the Tianlong Society.

But what did he have to fear?

Chapter Sixty-Two: Wang Xueqin's Little Scheme - Can Ru Ping Stay at the Paramount for Recuperation?

The incident involving Mrs. Yokota was merely an interlude at the ball.

The private doctor from the Paramount Mansion rushed over and immediately examined the wound between Lu Ruping's eyebrows.

Wang Xueqin was sweating profusely with anxiety.

"Doctor, you have to look carefully. A girl's face absolutely cannot have scars. If there are scars, it will affect her appearance, and it will be difficult for her to find a partner in the future!"

Her voice was high-pitched and crisp, attracting the attention of the spectators in the dance hall, who turned around to look at her from time to time, making Lu Mengping, who was standing next to her, feel a little uncomfortable.

Lu Mengping quickly pulled Wang Xueqin over and held her hand, trying to persuade her.

"Mom, keep your voice down! Everyone's watching us!"

However, Wang Xueqin didn't take her words to heart at all. Instead, she poked Lu Mengping's forehead with the tip of her nail, which was painted with vermilion.

"What are you saying, little girl?!"

Wang Xueqin raised an eyebrow, glanced around to see if anyone was around, and then immediately pulled Lu Mengping aside to whisper to her.

"Let me tell you, if I don't specifically say it, how will others know that my Lu family suffered a great loss at this ball!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Mengping's eyes widened immediately, her face showing disbelief.

"mom!"

Wang Xueqin pinched Lu Mengping's arm hard, and then lowered her voice even further.

"Don't shout so loudly! Let me tell you, a girl's success depends on her face! If I didn't have this face, would I have been able to enter the Lu family?"

At this point, Wang Xueqin's gaze also turned to the center of the dance hall.

Just moments ago, she had been fawning over the bank manager and his wife, who were now bowing respectfully before Ye Bai.

Although she didn't understand national affairs, she was very knowledgeable about interpersonal relationships.

The rival she found for Ru Ping is nowhere near as good as the owner of the dance hall!

Thinking of the dependence in Ru Ping's eyes when she looked at Ye Bai after crying, Wang Xueqin had a new idea.

Could the Lu family form a marriage alliance with Ye Bai, the owner of the Paramount?

Compared to Ye Bai, what is the bank manager's son?!

Thinking this through, Wang Xueqin, being a woman of action, immediately pulled Lu Mengping aside and began to explain.

"You stay here and see the doctor, then Grandpa and I will go over and say hello."

After saying that, leaving Lu Mengping behind, Wang Xueqin took out a mirror from her handbag again, checked her appearance and found no problems, then gracefully walked to Lu Zhenhua's side and made a suggestion.

"Grandpa, Mr. Ye essentially saved Ru Ping's life. Shouldn't we go and thank him?"

Wang Xueqin originally wanted to suggest that she should repay the life-saving grace with her body, but thinking of the old man's usual temper, she immediately swallowed her original idea.

At that moment, Lu Zhenhua on the other side nodded as she had expected.

“That makes sense, let’s go together.”

After saying that, the two walked towards Ye Bai in the crowd.

In the center of the crowd, Ye Bai had just finished negotiating a new order with yet another group of people.

Turning around, he saw Lu Zhenhua and Wang Xueqin walking towards him.

In his haste, he hadn't had a chance to properly examine these two famous characters from the TV series "Romance in the Rain."

Lu Zhenhua was tall and strong, and his black formal suit couldn't hide his obvious military bearing.

Wang Xueqin wore a dark cheongsam, and her graceful steps were still charming.

Just as Ye Bai was sizing up the two of them, they walked up to him.

"Mr. Ye, thank you for saving Ruping's life."

As he said this, Lu Zhenhua took two glasses of wine from his attendant and handed one to Ye Bai to express his gratitude.

However, when Wang Xueqin heard his words, she felt they weren't warm enough, so she immediately added something.

"Oh dear, my husband can be a bit harsh sometimes, so thank you so much."

As she spoke, she even pretended to wipe away non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, her tone tinged with a hint of fragility.

"If it weren't for your timely intervention, my poor Ruping might never have seen her mother again."

“My daughter Ruping also suffered. I never expected that just attending a dance would result in her being disfigured.”

When the words "disfigurement" were mentioned, Wang Xueqin became even more agitated, and her voice involuntarily rose a notch or two.

These words reached Ye Bai's ears, and he took the initiative to speak.

"You two are too kind. It is an honor for me, Ye Bai, that you have taken the time out of your busy schedules to attend our Paramount Ball."

"Miss Lu's accident at our ball is actually a dereliction of duty on our part at the Paramount. Rest assured, our doctors will do their utmost..."

Ye Bai responded politely in return.

After all, playing along is an essential skill for attending a dance.

However, these words seemed to hit Wang Xueqin's sweet spot.

Wang Xueqin's eyes lit up, and with a flicker of her brows, she tentatively posed the next question.

"I have a favor to ask. I just heard from the doctor that it's inconvenient to move around while she's injured. I wonder if Ru Ping could stay at the Paramount for a while to recuperate before her wound fully heals?"

As she said this, Wang Xueqin unconsciously clenched the handkerchief in her hand, her eyes filled with a mixture of anticipation and nervousness.

She had her own ulterior motives for saying that.

It is important to know that Lu Ruping's marriage is a major problem that has been bothering her for a long time.

She had originally thought highly of He Shuhuan, who frequently visited her home.

Unfortunately, she later discovered that He Shuhuan was having an affair with that vixen Lu Yiping, and she immediately lost her temper.

Then, she set her sights on the son of the bank president.

This is already the best opportunity her family could possibly get.

I had almost reached an agreement with the bank president and his family, but I never expected to run into this mess today!

What others saw as a disaster was, in Wang Xueqin's eyes, a golden opportunity!

This is Mr. Ye, currently the most sought-after and hottest man in the Shanghai Stock Exchange!

Countless wealthy and noble ladies long to see him, but they still can't!
