After being imprisoned in a women's prison for five years, I became a master of both medicine a

All the Gu Master techniques were ineffective against Ye Chen, leaving the Seven Fiends Old Monster completely baffled. However, he was certain of one thing: his Gu was definitely not the problem.

Therefore, the problem lies with Ye Chen.

After much thought, he actually came up with a possibility, a possibility that made him tremble with excitement.

"If I'm not mistaken, Ye Chen should possess something that can suppress all Gu worms, very much like the King of Ten Thousand Gu in Miao legends!"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Shengzi was slightly surprised and asked, "You mean that Gu King that contains a trace of Gu God bloodline and can make all Gu submit?"

"Yes, that's it."

The Seven Fiends Old Monster's old face beamed with joy as he stared at him earnestly, saying, "Holy Son, please, no matter what, help me obtain the King of Ten Thousand Gu. With it, I can unify the entire Miao region and realize our plan to unite the various Miao tribes a year ahead of schedule!"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Shengzi also became somewhat unsettled.

In the Truth Cult's next major plan, completely controlling Miao territory and disrupting the southwest of Great Xia is a crucial part. The early realization of this plan is of extraordinary significance to the Truth Cult, even surpassing the destruction of the Ye family.

Thinking of this, he immediately agreed to Seven Fiends Old Monster's request. If the third step of the plan was executed smoothly, killing Ye Chen and obtaining the King of Ten Thousand Gu would not be difficult.

Just then, Wang Sheng raised a question.

"The King of All Gu is in Ye Chen, doesn't that mean he's a top-tier Gu Master? Will our plan be able to proceed smoothly then?"

As the main executor of Zhong Shengzi's third step plan—kidnapping Gu Ning to lure and kill Ye Chen—he was unusually cautious for once.

Upon hearing this, the Seven Fiends Old Monster chuckled, "The King of Ten Thousand Gu only possesses the ability to command ten thousand Gu, but without Gu worms to drive it, it has little combat power."

"Then I'm relieved." Wang Sheng nodded, then picked up his phone to contact various forces to confirm all the information and ensure the plan would go perfectly.

Meanwhile, in the banquet hall.

Zhou Kai, Hu Zhi, and the others returned to the dining table with deathly pale faces.

Seeing their expressions, Ye Chen chuckled inwardly, but deliberately feigned concern.

"Young Master Zhou, Young Master Hu, are you two feeling unwell? Why do you look so pale?"

"Really? Haha, maybe I didn't sleep well last night. Thanks for your concern, Young Master Ye."

If looks could kill, Ye Chen would have been finely shredded by Zhou Kai long ago. But now he has no choice but to force a smile and humble himself before his enemy.

"It's good that you're alright. Young people should avoid staying up late." Ye Chen patted Zhou Kai on the shoulder and continued with a smile, "Everyone was just investing in Ningning's wife and Sister Shan. Young Master Zhou and Young Master Hu, wouldn't you like to invest some too?"

"Do we want to?" The two looked at each other in bewilderment.

Ye Chen said with a smile, "You guys think it's fine. I think Young Master Zhou should invest 2 billion, and Young Master Hu should do the same. Now, have your families transfer the money."

"puff!"

The two men spat out the wine they had just drunk, saying it was an investment, but wasn't it just a scam?

Just as the two were about to refuse, Ye Chen pouted and said, "If you don't invest, you're looking down on me. I'm going home and I'm not playing with you anymore."

Seeing Ye Chen about to get up, Zhou Kai's expression changed drastically. This wouldn't do. Their mission was to hold off Ye Chen and his group until Gu Ning left first before they could make their move.

"Young Master Ye, you've misunderstood. Can't I just have my family transfer the money?" Zhou Kai said, frantically winking at Hu Zhi and the others.

Hu Zhi and the others understood and quickly agreed, then called their respective families.

Before long, Zhou Kai and Hu Zhi each transferred 2 billion, and the rest of the people transferred 2 billion, for a total of 6 billion, to Ye Chen's card.

Seeing this, everyone was stunned. What kind of spell did Ye Chen cast on these people to make them so obedient?

The families of Zhou Kai, Hu Zhi, and others are barely considered second-rate; two billion would be a huge loss for them.

Tang Shanshan looked at Ye Chen, her mind filled with a myriad of thoughts.

Don't let his seemingly foolish demeanor fool you; anyone who tries to use that to suppress him will definitely suffer a terrible defeat. This morning, the Liu family father and son were a prime example, and this evening, Zhou Kai, Hu Zhi, and the others were no exception.

Many situations that seemed almost certain to lead to her death were easily turned around by Ye Chen. Just how many secrets and abilities does this man have that she doesn't know about?

But she understood that she only needed to know one thing: cling to Ye Chen's coattails, and she and Tang's Jewelry would definitely take off.

However, her relationship with Ye Chen is rather awkward right now. They are at most friends. Ye Chen might help her if she needs anything, but he might not go all out to help her.

Compared to Gu Ning, Li Muling, and the other girls, she was still quite far behind Ye Chen.

"No, I have to do everything I can to get closer to A-Chen." Tang Shanshan made up her mind, and couldn't help but look at Gu Ning, thinking to herself, "Ningning, beware of your best friend, I'm sorry, I also want to take care of A-Chen."

If Ye Chen and Gu Ning were to be a couple for life, she naturally wouldn't think that way. But based on what she knew, besides Gu Ning, Ye Chen also had a fiancée and many female confidantes.

Besides, the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty already allow him to marry multiple wives. So why can't he have one more woman among these women? She has a great figure and good looks, and she's not that bad.

She has a clear understanding of herself. On the surface, she is a female CEO of a multi-billion dollar conglomerate and a powerful businesswoman, but deep down she is actually a little woman who hopes to have someone to rely on.

If she also becomes Ye Chen's woman, she can work together with the Gu Ning sisters to compete for his favor.

"Shanshan, what are you thinking about? Your face is so red," Gu Ning asked with concern.

"N-nothing...nothing." Tang Shanshan blushed even more. She couldn't very well say that she was thinking about her best friend's husband, could she?

Just then, Gu Ning received a text message on her phone.

She glanced at the message and apologized to Ye Chen, "Honey, the first batch of brain-computer interfaces has arrived, and I have to go pick them up now."

"Okay, honey, go ahead and be careful." Ye Chen nodded with a smile.

Although he was at the table, his attention was focused on the next room, carefully sensing the movements of the people there with his divine sense.

Ye Zhi and the other three women who were originally protecting Gu Ning have been reassigned by him to protect Ye Tianfeng's safety.

There is some danger in leaving early, so he plans to give instructions later to have Ye Xuan bring people to follow and protect her.

Shen Qianqian also anticipated that Gu Ning might be in danger, so she smiled and got up together with him.

"I'm going with my sister-in-law; we can check on the quality of the first batch of products."

"That would be perfect."

Gu Ning smiled, took her hand, greeted the people they knew, and then left together.

Upon seeing this, Wang Sheng immediately became excited. "Boss, Gu Ning has already left. I need to rush over there to personally oversee things and wait for my good news."

"Okay, notify me immediately if anything happens. Don't act on your own," Zhong Shengzi solemnly instructed.

"Hurry up and catch up, so the people over there can get ready."

Outside the hotel, seeing Gu Ning and Shen Qianqian drive away, Wang Sheng immediately led his men to follow them.

Unbeknownst to them, as soon as they left, Liu Ruxue emerged from the shadows of the parking lot, gazing thoughtfully in the direction they had gone.
