Morax is dead, Liyue will fall into my hands.

The business elites who came to conduct research had never seen anything like this before.

Seeing the crowd's excited reaction, Li Ye's reputation was elevated to a new level.

Li Ye pressed his hands down lightly, and the enthusiastic applause from the crowd gradually subsided.

"However, I also noticed that there were indeed too many brothers and sisters who came to enjoy the Yunhan Society's performance today, especially those in the back. I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to have a good viewing experience. This is my oversight, Li Ye."

But since everyone has come with such high spirits, I, Li Ye, cannot let you leave disappointed.

So I came up with a solution on the spot. On both sides of the street where you eat at Huyan, you can see many stalls with dragon-shaped flags. These were temporarily set up by "Wanmin Qianzhuang".

These booths don't sell anything, but they offer some fun games, and all the games are free to participate in.

Whoever wins the game will receive a generous prize from the stall owner.

Those closer to the stage can enjoy the wonderful performance by Yunhan Society, while those further away can take advantage of this time to participate in some games they are interested in and win generous prizes.

Prizes are limited, first come, first served! Hope everyone has fun!

On the main stage, there were just too many people, making it impossible to organize them; everyone was in complete chaos.

But when we got to those temporary stalls, there were only about a dozen people in front of each stall, so there was no need to queue. With just a little organization, everyone could participate in the games on a first-come, first-served basis.

At this point, maintaining order at the stalls and around the stage becomes significantly easier.

The audience members who were originally quite far from the stage were very dissatisfied with Yunhan Society's performance, but they just couldn't say it out loud.

Now that I heard I could participate in the game for free and win great prizes, all my resentment vanished instantly. My mind was filled with thoughts of how difficult the game was, whether I could win the prizes, and what the prizes were.

Prizes are limited, first come, first served.

Wouldn't it be a win to participate in the game first and then watch Yunhan Society's performance later?

Yun Jin stood on the stage, watching Li Ye continue his eloquent speech.

She discovered that the problem that had baffled both Chiiwa Army and the General Affairs Department was easily solved by this boy, who was probably a few years younger than her, with a few simple gestures.

Everything seemed so natural.

Confident and composed, like the legendary King Yan in traditional operas, who could reduce enemy ships to ashes with a flick of his finger.

It turns out that the easygoing, cheerful, and always competitive boy in private also has such a captivating side.

Chapter Twenty-Nine: Boss Li of Zu'an

Li Ye's plan was even more successful than expected.

For many ordinary people in Liyue, Mr. Yun Jin's opera performances might be more appealing than the so-called "prizes".

The reason these people came to eat at Huyan was purely for the lively atmosphere; the performance by Yunhan Society was merely an opportunity.

It wouldn't matter if the performer wasn't Yun Jin, but Xin Yan, Barbara, or even Miss Xina.

This has nothing to do with whether or not one understands art appreciation. People have different interests and hobbies. Some like traditional opera, some like rock music, some like strong, protective mothers, and some like caring older sisters. These are all perfectly normal.

Chapter 30: Oh, I didn't expect to run into you here.

"You! Do you really think... you can do it?"

Darren's anger, which had just been ignited, was completely extinguished by Li Ye's threat, and he no longer spoke with the same confidence as before.

Li Ye reached out and slapped Darren's face in a highly insulting manner, then asked with a cold smile, "I can try, or shall we make a bet?"

If you win the bet, I'll be your dog from now on.

I won the bet; all you need to do is give me one Mora.

So, what do you say? Dare to bet?

Darren's chest heaved violently, his reason constantly telling him to stay calm, stay calm, he had to stay calm!

A bet? If he were to actually accept this bet, regardless of whether Li Ye succeeds or not, Lord Pantalone would simply drown himself in the sea.

Darren gasped for air, trying to stay as alert as possible: "Li Ye, you win. I really didn't dare to bet."

But I also bet you won't do that unless it's absolutely necessary, right?

Li Ye slapped Darren's face hard again and said, "After all, he is still considered an elite of the 'Northern Bank,' and he is not so stupid as to be beyond redemption."

I'm drawing a line: you can slander me, you can obstruct me, you can even send people to assassinate me, I don't care about any of that.

But if innocent people lose their lives because of this, then your entire "Northern Bank" can expect to be buried with those innocent people!

Furthermore, I reckon you're already planning to take action against the employees of "Wanmin Money Shop," right? Try to tone it down a bit.

Bribery is fine, poaching is fine, even setting up a honey trap—I can turn a blind eye to all of that. But if you dare threaten their families, I don't mind spending money to hire some underworld connections to slaughter your entire family.

Sorry, I've mentioned something that doesn't exist again.

That's roughly the gist of it; just grasp the meaning.

Darren finally realized that the young man named Li Ye in front of him was not at all what the people of Liyue Harbor were saying.

He may be kind and compassionate to ordinary people, willing to risk his life to seek justice for an innocent girl, but when dealing with enemies, he is cruel, cunning, ruthless, and even has a touch of terrifying madness.

Even though "Northern Bank" had given Li Ye a very high evaluation before, it now seems that those so-called evaluations were still a serious underestimation.

Darren said, "Mr. Li, I will convey everything you just said to Mr. Pantalone verbatim."

As for what decisions will be made next, I cannot make any guarantees.

However, I also hope you realize that behind the "Northern Bank" is the Fools, behind the Fools is the entire Winter Kingdom, and behind the entire Winter Kingdom is the Ice Queen.

Choosing to antagonize the "Northern Bank" was an absolutely foolish decision.

Hearing Darren's threat, Li Ye casually turned around and waved his hand, saying, "According to your logic, can you now represent 'Northern Bank'?"

If I could, wouldn't I have just slapped the Ice Queen in the face?

Such scare tactics might fool others, but don't try to frighten me with them.

At this point, Li Ye suddenly stopped, turned to Darren and said, "Let me tell you another secret: God may not be as powerful as you think."

......

When Li Ye threatened Darren, the chat group started to get lively again.

"Beef Offal Master": "Where is Li Ye? Where is Li Ye? I don't know if you guys are eating at Huyan, but I just saw Li Ye appear on stage."

He's a natural performer; he can lie without batting an eye.

I now seriously suspect that Li Ye lied quite a bit during his casual conversations with us.

Ke Qing happened to be below when Li Ye was performing. She discovered that Li Ye was not only shameless and wicked, but also had superb acting skills.

To be able to smear "Northern Bank" with such righteous indignation, it's a waste of talent for such a person not to be a politician.

"Guest of the Hall of Rebirth": "From a general theoretical point of view, the fact that Miss Kuaiyu can say such a thing means that she does not really understand Boss Li."

Zhong Li really wanted to ask Li Ye a question: when would his job as editor-in-chief of the "Wanmin Daily" finally come to an end?

Even though the Seven Stars of Liyue are preparing to release "Seven Stars Summary", when I asked him to discuss changing the editor-in-chief, he still dodged the question!

"Liyue Rich Woman": "That's right! That's right! Li Ye is shameless. He doesn't even blink when he lies. He's obviously a veteran actor."

Ningguang was filled with resentment. Li Ye had previously slandered her in the group chat, claiming that she was pursuing him. He was utterly shameless. How could he say such a thing?

The key thing is that this matter somehow got out, and Beidou and Keqing came over one after the other to subtly inquire about it.

The way Bai Xiao and the other two were looking at him was a little strange, but he couldn't explain it. Explaining would be a cover-up, and covering up would be telling a story.

Ningguang's heart is weary.

What's even more exhausting is that even in his current state, he still has to be wary of Li Ye; it's simply too much.

Gan Yu, who had just finished her work at home, opened the chat group and saw that everyone was discussing Li Ye.

She looked through the chat history and felt that everyone had some deep misunderstandings about Li Ye.

As a supportive wife, Gan Yu naturally had to vindicate Li Ye.

"Unemployed": "Actually, everyone has misunderstood. Li Ye will also tell the truth."

Li Ye: "..."

What do you mean I can tell the truth? When have I, Li Ye, ever lied?

Xiao Mei ruined me!

"Who in the world doesn't understand Ye?": "Ahem, this is also due to the pressures of life. Everyone should be more understanding, after all, my starting point was good."

By the way, Kuaiyu is eating at Huyan, right? Where is he? I just met with a senior executive from "Northern Bank" and gave him a warning.

If you're done with your work, I can come over to see you.

"Beef Offal Chef": "I have some things to take care of, so don't come looking for me."

So you're eating at Tiger Rock? Won't you get mobbed by the crowds?

"Who in the world doesn't know Ye?": "You're stupid. I'm not stupid. I can just wear a mask."

Standing in the crowd, Keqing stared at her phone for two seconds, then realized, "Oh right, I just need to wear a mask."

The area on both sides of Tiger Rock was packed with all sorts of stalls, and vendors selling masks were everywhere; there was one right in front of me...

Thinking of this, Ke Qing put away her phone, walked to the mask stall, looked at it for a while, and finally chose a white cat head mask to put on.

This is much more comfortable; otherwise, I would get too many stares on the street.

Just as Ke Qing, feeling quite satisfied, was about to take out her phone, Li Ye's voice suddenly came from behind her.

"Oh, Miss Keqing, I didn't expect to run into you here."

Chapter Thirty-One: Testing and Teasing

Li Ye never expected to encounter Yuheng Star at Chihu Rock.

In his view, the Liyue Seven Stars must be very busy people.

I'm always too busy with work to go out shopping.

But looking at the back view and the familiar cat-head mask, who else could it be but Yuheng Keqing?

When Li Ye first recognized Yu Hengxing, he didn't think of taking the initiative to greet him, and even considered whether to take a detour.

After all, she asked him right away if he wanted to see her face. Even if she wasn't trying to kill him to silence him, she could still be a terrifying woman who said, "If you see my face, you have to marry me, or I'll die right here."

What made Li Ye change his mind was that he noticed a Morax doll in Ke Qing's backpack.
