Sunshine Hotel.

Lin Shasha led Ye Chen to the hotel's private room, where Gu Ning, Li Muling, and several other familiar faces were already present.

"Wow, they're all big shots!" Lin Shasha exclaimed softly.

She had either seen these people frequently on television or at very high-end banquets.

They are all big shots whose every stomp of their feet can shake the entire city of Jiangcheng.

"Young Master Ye and Miss Lin have arrived. Please have a seat."

Li Muling showed no airs of a rich heiress. Upon seeing the two arrive, she hurriedly greeted them and invited Ye Chen to sit down at the head of the table.

Lin Shasha sat down next to Ye Chen, her mind a little dazed.

These are all big shots in Jiangcheng, not to mention Li Muling, the daughter of the richest man in Jiangnan. Why do they all look at Ye Chen with a hint of respect?

Before she could figure out the key point, Li Muling had already introduced everyone present to her and Ye Chen one by one.

Everyone who was introduced stood up, raised their wine glasses, and greeted Ye Chen respectfully.

After the introductions were completed, a middle-aged man in his fifties wearing a gray jacket stood up and toasted Ye Chen again.

Lin Shasha recognized this man; he was He Tao, the head of Jiangcheng City, who oversaw all affairs, large and small, in Jiangcheng and wielded unparalleled power.

"Young Master Ye, although my abilities are limited, if you encounter any difficulties in Jiangcheng, please feel free to call me. I cannot guarantee that I can solve the problem, but I will do my best."

"Thank you, you're such a kind person." Ye Chen raised his glass and clinked it with his.

After He Tao sat down, the other person immediately stood up.

He was also in his early fifties, but compared to He Tao, the long-serving and aristocratic mayor, he possessed a more ruthless air.

This man was Jia Kehu, who, three years ago, was known as one of the "Twin Tigers of Jiangcheng" along with Jiang Hu.

Although Jiang Hu broke through to the Qi Refining Grandmaster level and surpassed him, his Azure Dragon Society still held considerable influence in Jiangcheng's underworld.

He clasped his hands in a fist salute to Ye Chen, "Young Master Ye, I'm a rough and unrefined man and not good with words. If you ever need anything, just let me know, and I'll go through fire and water for you."

"You're a good person too." Ye Chen clinked glasses with him in return.

These are the two most powerful figures at tonight's dinner party: one is the highest authority in the public eye, and the other controls half of Jiangcheng's underworld.

When the two of them work together, there is almost nothing they can't solve in Jiangcheng.

"Before, I was worried that the enemy was too strong and I wouldn't be able to protect Brother Chen. Now, with He Tao and Jia Kehu protecting him, Brother Chen and the Ye family will be in much less danger."

While Lin Shasha was pondering to herself, He Tao and Jia Kehu were also secretly observing Ye Chen.

Ye Chen was having a great time playing with a wine bottle, and to others, he looked like a complete idiot.

Five years ago, he was the most monstrous martial arts genius in the entire Jiangnan Province, and even in the Great Xia Dynasty!

At that time, everyone predicted that once Ye Chen grew up, the Ye family would surely become the number one family in the Great Xia Dynasty and become a truly super family.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that some people secretly became wary and took action against the Ye family.

Now that Ye Chen has returned after five years of disappearance, although he still appears to be in a state of mental instability, the two of them have already sensed something unusual from Li Muling's attitude towards him.

If Ye Chen's apparent idiocy was just an act, he was actually already fully awake.

A lucid, prodigy genius must be an incredibly terrifying existence. Yesterday at the banquet, the Sun family targeted Ye Chen and Gu Ning, and that very night they were wiped out.

Is this just a coincidence?

He Tao had long been tied to the Li family; the Li family was betting on Ye Chen and the Ye family, so naturally he had to follow suit.

As for Jia Kehu, the Black Tiger Gang is now very powerful and is gradually encroaching on his territory. If the situation is not changed, the Green Dragon Society will definitely fall apart in three to five years.

Therefore, not long ago, he took the initiative to join the Li family, hoping to rely on the Li family's power to suppress the Black Tiger Gang's expansion.

Since Gu Ning hadn't arrived yet, only a few cold dishes were served at the banquet for everyone to have a little something to eat.

"Hey, it's already seven o'clock, why hasn't Sister Ningning arrived yet? She told me on the phone that she should have arrived at six-thirty."

After sitting for a while, Lin Shasha glanced at her phone without frowning slightly.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat.

Just then, the door to the private room was pushed open, and one of Jia Kehu's men breathlessly reported.

"Oh...oh, something terrible has happened! Miss Gu was in a car accident on her way here...but thankfully it was just a scratch...but..."

Jia Kehu was furious. He stood up abruptly and grabbed him by the collar.

"Can't you just finish what you're saying all at once?"

"But the car accident was caused by the Black Tiger Gang. The Black Tiger Gang members are chasing Miss Gu in their car, and they're heading northeast of the moat right now."

"Gather manpower immediately..."

As Jia Kehu was speaking, he suddenly felt a chill sweep over his entire body, and even the depths of his soul trembled and shook.

He turned around stiffly and saw Ye Chen holding a wine bottle, his eyes filled with anger and murderous intent.

"Ningning's wife has been kidnapped by bad guys! I have to go rescue her!"

He said a few words, grabbed the motorcycle keys in front of Li Muling, and sped off.

"Roar roar roar..."

The motorcycle named Zhang Xue roared like a wild beast before shooting off like a cannonball.

Ye Chen was filled with rage. He had originally planned to wipe out the Black Tiger Gang tonight, but Jiang Hu had struck first.

He vowed that once he found Jiang Hu, he would chop him up and feed him to the dogs!

Seeing Ye Chen rush out without regard for anything, Lin Shasha was extremely anxious and immediately drove after him.

Inside the private room, the others were also moving quite quickly.

The news that Gu Ning was going to marry Ye Chen had already spread throughout Jiangcheng, and Jia Kehu was very clear about her position in Ye Chen's heart.

This is Ye Chen's crisis, but also his opportunity.

If they can save Gu Ning this time, the Azure Dragon Society will surely take off in the future, not to mention that their enemy this time is his mortal enemy, Jiang Hu!

"Third brother, immediately mobilize all the forces of the Azure Dragon Society and chase them northeast of the moat. Tell the brothers to hack the Black Tiger Gang members to pieces on sight!"

Don't ask why, just follow orders! Today, the Green Dragon Society and the Black Tiger Gang are locked in a life-or-death struggle!

The members of the Azure Dragon Society had never seen their leader so crazy, and they dared not ask any questions. They quickly mobilized all their forces and rushed towards the moat.

While he was on the phone, He Tao was also busy, immediately calling the head of the public security bureau to explain the current situation.

Finally, he said sternly, "The kidnapping of a prominent female entrepreneur in Jiangcheng by underground forces is a very serious and heinous incident. If Gu Ning is really killed, who will dare to invest in Jiangcheng in the future?"

"Yes, Your Excellency, I will immediately mobilize all the resources of the Public Security Bureau to rescue Miss Gu."

The remaining people also contacted their respective contacts to rescue Gu Ning as quickly as possible.

In an instant, an incredibly spectacular scene unfolded in the northeast of Jiangcheng.

Countless vehicles, like rivers flowing into the sea, formed a torrent of traffic, heading majestically towards the northeast moat.

Jiang Hu and his accomplices were still unaware of the enormity of their actions.
