You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

The afternoon sun is no longer as gentle as it was in the morning; instead, it carries the intense heat characteristic of a tropical island.

Order was quickly restored at Emerald Island Resort after a large police force led by Li Mingyu moved in.

Although the tourists were still immersed in the lingering fear and excitement of surviving the ordeal, at least the panic had completely dissipated.

On the open-air balcony of the presidential suite, Lin Chen lay leisurely on a beach chair, enjoying the sea breeze.

Su Qingge and Jiang Tingxue sat on either side of him, one peeling an apple for him and the other peeling grapes for him, their movements gentle and focused.

Meanwhile, Ye Qingcheng and Su Ke'er were busy in the kitchen not far away, preparing a sumptuous "victory celebration lunch," the aroma already filling the entire suite.

This warm yet decadent, imperial pleasure made Lin Chen so comfortable that he almost groaned out loud.

"Knock knock knock".

Just then, there was a gentle knock on the suite door.

"I'll go open the door."

Su Qingge put down the fruit knife, got up and went to open the door.

Standing at the door was Li Mingyu, whose face was full of respect.

"Sister-in-law... Officer Su."

When Li Mingyu saw Su Qingge, he almost instinctively called her "sister-in-law," but thankfully he corrected himself in time. He wiped the sweat from his brow and bowed respectfully, saying:

"Um...Is Advisor Lin here? The cleanup on the island is basically complete. We've captured some peripheral members of the 'Dark Moon' organization and some resort employees who were bribed. The Siren has also been put on the plane. I'm preparing to lead the team back to the capital, so I've come to say goodbye to Advisor Lin."

"Come in."

Su Qingge nodded slightly and stepped aside to let him in.

When Li Mingyu entered the suite and saw the idyllic scene on the balcony, his eyes twitched again.

Why is there such a huge difference between people?

While he was working himself to the bone outside "cleaning the floor," this guy was enjoying the good life of having four stunningly beautiful women serving him personally.

Envy, jealousy, but even more so, a deep-seated awe.

"Advisor Lin!"

Li Mingyu stood at attention and gave Lin Chen a perfectly standard military salute.

"Mission complete, please provide further instructions!"

Lin Chen lazily opened his eyes and waved his hand.

"Alright, enough with the formalities."

"Once you've finished your business, get out of here. Don't be a third wheel."

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Li Mingyu nodded repeatedly, then seemed to remember something and lowered his voice to say:

"By the way, Consultant Lin, there are two more people outside... they insist on seeing you and President Ye to apologize. What do you think?"

"apologize?"

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow and instantly understood.

"Is it Wang Tianlong and his group?"

"Exactly!"

"Let them come in."

Lin Chen said calmly.

Some accounts need to be settled.

Having received permission, Li Mingyu immediately turned and went out. A short while later, he led two trembling figures back in.

It was Wang Tianlong, and his fat, big-eared father, Wang Fugui, the chairman of Wang's Seafood.

At this moment, Wang Tianlong was no longer as arrogant and domineering as he had been yesterday. He lowered his head, his face was pale, and he was trembling like a leaf. He didn't even dare to look at Lin Chen.

His father, Wang Fugui, was in an even worse state. This local tyrant, who was considered a big shot in the South China Sea region, was sweating profusely, the back of his suit was soaked, and his face was plastered with a fawning smile that looked more like a grimace.

When he learned that his good-for-nothing son had gotten into trouble with a terrifying entity that could uproot even a behemoth like the "Dark Moon" organization overnight, he almost had a heart attack on the spot!

This isn't just about offending someone; this is like kicking down the gates of the King of Hell's palace!

"thump!"

As soon as he entered the door, Wang Fugui, without saying a word, grabbed his son Wang Tianlong and knelt down!

This sudden scene startled Ye Qingcheng and Su Ke'er, who were busy in the kitchen, and they both came out.

"Mr. Lin...Mr. Ye!"

Wang Fugui knelt on the ground and almost crawled to Lin Chen and Ye Qingcheng. He shakily pulled out a thick document from his briefcase and raised it high above his head.

"My son was ignorant and failed to recognize the importance of his parents, offending Mr. Lin and President Ye. He deserves to die! I... I, as his father, have failed in my parenting and bear undeniable responsibility!"

Wang Fugui's voice was choked with sobs, and he said with snot and tears streaming down his face:

"This is the transfer agreement for 80% of the shares of Wang's Seafood! It's all signed! Consider it our apology to you two! Please, have mercy and let us go!"

"We promise to disappear from Emerald Island immediately and never appear before you two again in this lifetime!"

After saying that, he slapped Wang Tianlong hard on the back of the head and roared:

"You beast! Hurry up and kowtow to Mr. Lin and President Ye to admit your mistake!"

Wang Tianlong was so frightened that he didn't dare to hesitate for a moment. He immediately started kowtowing to Lin Chen and Ye Qingcheng, making a loud thud on the polished marble floor.

Seeing this ridiculous yet pathetic scene, Lin Chen's face remained completely expressionless.

He didn't reach out to take the share transfer agreement that would make anyone envious. Instead, he picked up a peeled grape that Jiang Tingxue handed him, slowly put it in his mouth, and then turned his gaze to Ye Qingcheng beside him.

This action speaks for itself.

Ye Qingcheng instantly understood Lin Chen's meaning.

This means he is relinquishing control to himself.

A warm current instantly flowed through Ye Qingcheng's entire body.

This man, unintentionally, always maintained her dignity and satisfied her desire for control as a queen in his own way.

She took a deep breath, and her pretty face, which had softened due to being at home, instantly switched back to the cold, arrogant queen mode that ruled a multi-billion dollar business empire.

She stepped forward slowly, looking down at the Wang father and son kneeling on the ground, her voice cold and devoid of any emotion.

"We'll take the shares."

Upon hearing this, Wang Fugui felt as if he had been granted a pardon, and his face lit up with ecstatic joy!

However, Ye Qingcheng's next words made his heart tighten.

"But, you want to leave? Not so easy."

Ye Qingcheng said coldly:

"From today onwards, Wang's Seafood will be officially incorporated into the Yip Group and renamed 'Yip's Emerald Island Logistics Supply Department,' which will be responsible for the supply of fresh seafood and materials to the entire Emerald Island Resort and all surrounding industries."

"You, Wang Fugui, will remain as department manager and redeem yourself through meritorious service. As for you..."

Her gaze fell on Wang Tianlong, making him tremble.

"You, Wang Tianlong, will stay on the island and become the security captain."

"We'll consider changing your job when you've learned how to be a decent person."

"If you dare to bully others or cause trouble again during this period..."

A cold smile curved at the corners of Ye Qingcheng's lips.

"I will let you experience firsthand what it feels like to be tied to stones and sunk into the depths of the South China Sea."

As soon as he finished speaking, the temperature in the entire room seemed to drop several degrees.

Wang Tianlong was so frightened that he wet himself and kowtowed repeatedly, his voice trembling.

"No... I wouldn't dare! I'd never dare again! Thank you, Mr. Ye! Thank you, Mr. Lin! Thank you, Mr. Ye, for sparing my life!"

Wang Fugui breathed a sigh of relief. Although the company was gone and he was demoted, at least he was alive and his son wouldn't be drowned.

This is already an immense blessing!

"Thank you, Mr. Ye! Thank you, Mr. Lin! My son and I will definitely reform ourselves and serve you and the Ye Group like slaves, even unto death!"

"Get lost."

Ye Qingcheng waved her hand impatiently.

The Wang father and son, feeling as if they had been granted a pardon, scrambled out of the house.

A crisis that could have bankrupted a local tycoon was easily resolved by Ye Qingcheng with just a few words, and she also conveniently incorporated the Wang family's seafood empire, which they had built up over many years, into the Ye family's business empire.

This series of actions not only completely resolved the problem, but also gave the Yip Group an absolute monopoly in the tourism and aquatic resources sectors of the South China Sea.

After doing all this, Ye Qingcheng turned to look at Lin Chen. Her cold eyes instantly melted, and she transformed back into the little woman full of adoration and love.

She knew that all of this was because of the man in front of her.

It was he who gave her the confidence to command the world.

He made her the true queen of this island.
