Upon hearing that Wang Sheng had been caught red-handed by Ye Chen's men at the assassination scene, Wang Hongsheng was furious.

According to his plan, this meticulously planned assassination was originally foolproof.

Even if the assassination fails in the end, Ye Chen and his group will not be able to trace it back to the Wang family in a short period of time.

But to my utter surprise, my stupid son actually went to the scene and gave nonsensical instructions, and he even got arrested.

If it weren't for the fact that he lost his fertility due to a chaotic personal life in his earlier years, and Wang Sheng was the only son in the Wang family, he would never have made this phone call.

The assassination attempt failed, and he even groveled and begged them to release him. That's utterly shameful.

When Wang Hongsheng called, Lin Shasha immediately sneered.

"You called too late. Your idiot son has already been beaten to death by us."

"What?" Wang Hongsheng was instantly shocked.

Wang Sheng, who had been lying on the ground pretending to be dead, suddenly started wailing and howling.

"Dad, I'm still alive! Help me!"

"You're such a chatterbox."

Lin Shasha kicked him in the mouth, and in the blink of an eye, more than half of his newly implanted teeth were gone.

"It was my son's fault this time. I apologize to Young Master Ye and Miss Gu on his behalf. When we get home, I will definitely teach him a lesson and break his legs."

"How about this? Two billion to buy his dog's life."

In order to ensure the continuation of the Wang family line, Wang Hongsheng had no choice but to grovel and flatter.

"We're not short of money, we're going to kill this bastard today." Lin Shasha refused without even thinking.

After a moment's thought, Ye Chen secretly sent a telepathic message to Ye Zhi.

"Agree to Wang Hongsheng's request, but the ransom must be increased to 20 billion."

"This servant understands."

Ye Zhi nodded slightly, and then conveyed Ye Chen's request to Wang Hongsheng.

"Two hundred billion! Why don't you just rob us?" Wang Hongsheng screamed.

Although the Wang family's assets amount to several hundred billion, they are mostly stocks and various real estates, with cash flow amounting to just over 20 billion.

Ye Zhi's conditions will drain the Wang family dry.

"Heh, feeling sorry for him? I'll send you an address. Send someone over later to collect your son's body." Lin Shasha sneered.

Although she was a bit reckless, she wasn't stupid. She quickly realized that Wang Sheng's life was worthless, so killing him wouldn't make a difference.

It would be better to bleed him dry and make Wang Hongsheng feel the pain.

After a long silence on the other end of the phone, Wang Hongsheng's voice, filled with gritted teeth, finally came through.

"Okay, I'll give it to you! I need half an hour to raise the funds."

Lin Shasha sneered, "No, you only have fifteen minutes. If you exceed one minute, I'll chop off one of your son's fingers."

Wang Hongsheng didn't say much, and hung up the phone to raise money.

Fifteen minutes later, 20 billion was deposited into Ye Chen's bank account on time.

"Now you can finally release my son, right?" Wang Hongsheng said, suppressing his anger.

"Of course." Lin Shasha chuckled.

Hearing this, Wang Sheng, despite the pain all over his body, desperately tried to escape from the coffee shop. Lin Shasha gave him a severe beating, completely terrifying him.

Just then, Ye Chen suddenly took the phone and said in a simple and honest tone.

"Giving us so much money, Patriarch Wang, you're such a kind person. I've decided to do you a favor."

Just as Wang Hongsheng was filled with doubt, he suddenly heard Wang Sheng let out a shrill scream.

"What did you do?!"

"Hehe, didn't you say you were going to break his legs? I'll break them for you, so you don't have to go through all that trouble when you get home."

"you......"

Wang Hongsheng was so angry he almost vomited blood. He could tell from that voice that the foolish young master of the Ye family was right there.

However, the next second, Wang Sheng's heart-wrenching cries came.

"Dad, he... he kicked my balls and smashed them! Our Wang family line is going to end!"

"Didn't you say you only broke his leg?" Wang Hongsheng roared.

Ye Chen was full of doubt. "A third leg is still a leg, what's the problem?"

"Hahaha..."

Lin Shasha and her group were laughing hysterically.

What the hell? Even a third leg is still a leg. So, even after spending 20 billion, the Wang family line still ended.

"puff!"

Wang Hongsheng spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted from anger.

The group ignored Wang Sheng and walked out of the coffee shop together.

Ye Zhi and the other eight women greeted Ye Chen and Gu Ning and then quickly disappeared.

But Ye Chen knew that they had been secretly protecting him and Gu Ning's safety.

"Sasha, we're going to visit Shanshan's shop, do you want to come along?" Gu Ning suggested.

"Alright, I'll have to keep an eye on you guys to prevent you from being attacked by bad guys again."

Lin Shasha patted her bulging chest, looking terrified.

The three then drove directly to the Tang's Jewelry flagship store.

As the leading jewelry company in Jiangnan Province, Tang's Jewelry built a Tang's Jewelry Plaza directly in the most prosperous commercial district of Lin'an.

Their flagship store in Lin'an is a large five-story shopping mall.

Ye Chen and his two companions entered the mall and looked around. The first floor of the mall was lined with rows of display cases, displaying all kinds of jade, agate, gold and silver jewelry.

"Ningning, over here."

Upon receiving the news, Tang Shanshan came out of her office and greeted Gu Ning and the others excitedly.

Ye Chen looked over and saw that she was wearing a champagne gold satin halter dress today. As she walked, the high slit of the skirt occasionally revealed her fair and shapely long legs.

"Welcome to our shop."

Tang Shanshan jogged over and hugged Gu Ning.

"Young Master Ye, you look very handsome today too."

She then extended her hand and greeted Ye Chen with a smile.

"Hello, beautiful lady." Ye Chen shook hands with her while looking her over.

Tang Shanshan is a voluptuous beauty, with her curves in all the right places, making her look very elegant. Her jade earrings, pendant, and bracelet, three simple yet valuable pieces of jewelry, accentuated her noble air.

Seeing her, Ye Chen could roughly imagine Yang Guifei's stunning beauty and temperament.

"Come on, I'll take you to have some fun."

After greeting Ye Chen and Lin Shasha, Tang Shanshan took Gu Ning's hand and led the three of them directly to a large area in the northwest corner of the first-floor lobby.

There are no dazzling jewelry pieces here, but instead a lot of dull, ugly stones, with some cutting and processing tables placed in the middle.

However, this place was the most crowded spot on the entire first floor, where shouts of surprise and curses of disappointment could be heard from time to time.

"Hahaha, I never expected that the rough stone I bought for 10,000 yuan would actually yield a perfect icy pattern with floating flowers! This is a huge win! Master Duan truly lives up to his reputation as the top treasure appraiser in Southeast China; just a few pointers and he's made a fortune!"

As soon as they arrived, they saw a middle-aged man holding a cut-open rough stone, looking ecstatic.

Someone immediately offered a million to buy the rough stone from him.

A group of people watched with envy, and all surrounded a middle-aged man who was nearly fifty years old, asking him to see if the rough stone they had selected could be sold.

"Want to gamble on jade?"

Ye Chen murmured, a slight smile curving his lips.

Identifying raw stones is difficult for others, but to him, who possesses divine sense, these raw stones are no different from transparent ones.

"Young Miss".

The middle-aged man surnamed Duan squeezed out of the crowd and walked up to Tang Shanshan to greet her.

Tang Shanshan introduced him with a smile: "This is Master Duan Yi, a rough stone appraiser I hired at a high price. He is among the top experts in the entire Great Xia. Today, I'm treating you to a meal, so I'll have him pick out a few rough stones for you."

Or you can choose for yourselves; that would be more fun.

Gu Ning smiled and said, "I see that Master Duan is quite busy, we can do it ourselves."

She meant well, but Master Duan was somewhat unhappy; not asking for his help was a way of disrespecting him.

"Honey, go pick out a stone, let's cut it open and see what it looks like," Gu Ning urged Ye Chen.

"Okay, then I'll pick out a piece of imperial green jade and make a bracelet for Ningning's wife."

After Ye Chen finished speaking, he wandered around the raw material area. It has to be said that the raw stones of Tang's Jewelry are of very good quality. Before long, he actually found a raw stone with top-grade imperial green.

"I choose this one."

Ye Chen returned to the group, carrying a rough stone about the size of a coconut that looked rather ugly.

"This is the rock; there's something good inside."

"Okay, let's cut it open and see."

Gu Ning smiled. Many people gamble everything they have on opening raw stones; for them, it's just a pastime.

"Heh, if I may be so bold, this is probably a piece of junk." Duan Yi sneered.

"Oh dear, it seems Young Master Ye isn't so lucky. Master Duan, how did you make that judgment? Could you tell us?" Tang Shanshan said with some regret.

Just as Duan Yi was about to start showing off, a group of people suddenly rushed in through the door.

The young man in the lead shouted, "Where's Tang Shanshan? Hand her over to me, I'm here to cause trouble!"

This extremely arrogant tone instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the hall.
