Seeing Mai Lang stuttering, Ye Guichen couldn't help but feel a bit curious: "So, the Ning Family is very powerful?"

"Hehe, you could say that." Mai Lang gave a bitter smile, unsure what Ng Guichen's concept of powerful was. He glanced at Li Zhuifeng, whose eyes were empty, and continued, "The Ning Family is one of the top families in Qingzhou. Although it has declined in recent years, it can still rank in the top three."

"It is said that the Ning Family has been around for over a century, even longer than our Mai Family. Besides business, the Ning Family is also extremely strong in martial arts."

"The most feared is not the current Family Head Ning Anbang, but his father, Ning Xiu Cheng."

"Ning Xiu Cheng?" Ye Guichen frowned, clearly unfamiliar with the name.

"Yes, it is said that Ning Xiu Cheng is extremely powerful in martial arts, apparently reaching the peak of the first-rate level. He no longer manages family affairs and seems to be in seclusion all the time, aiming to break through to a higher realm." Mai Lang paused for a moment before continuing, "But even so, a first-rate peak level is something many people look up to. Brother Ye, you may have the skill to kill first-rate masters, but..."

The implication was that neither Yamamoto nor Li Zhuifeng were more than mid-grade first-rate.

Compared to the peak first-rate level, it's a completely different tier.

Moreover, the Ning Family is not just Ning Xiu Cheng; there are many other members of the Ning Family.

Going to trouble the Ning Family now is like walking into a trap.

Ye Guichen nodded lightly upon hearing this: "Brother Mai, I understand your point, but I killed Ning Chengyuan, and this vendetta needs to be settled sooner or later. Since I am already here in Qingzhou, I might as well settle it now."

After speaking, he signaled to Mai Lang and said no more: "I'm leaving now."

"I..." Mai Lang watched Ye Guichen's back and stomped his foot: "Fine."

After instructing the driver to send Chen Ziran and Bai Qinghe back, Mai Lang quickly caught up: "Brother Ye, if you insist on going, I'll go with you."

"Aren't you afraid of involving the Mai Family?"

Ye Guichen didn't stop walking but continued forward.

Mai Lang gave a bitter smile: "You helped our Mai Family tremendously this time, pushing us to a new height. Besides, you are my father's personal disciple. I can't be ungrateful!"

As he spoke, Mai Lang took out his phone and made a call: "Hey, gather the brothers and meet at the Ning Family's place."

Ye Guichen gave Mai Lang a deep look, his lips twitching slightly, but said nothing more.

He had started to see Mai Lang in a new light.

In situations that most people would avoid, Mai Lang actively stepped forward.

Although he lacked talent in medicine, his heroic spirit was undeniable, certainly surpassing Mai Jiacheng.

Ye Guichen decided not to be modest anymore.

Since Mai Lang meant well, he might as well do Mai Lang a favor when dealing with the Ning Family.

After all, in the Qingzhou area, Ye Guichen didn't want to overextend. The Ning Family's assets and wealth would need someone to take over.

Of course, that was a matter for later.

Meanwhile.

The Ning Family.

Ning Anbang welcomed an unexpected guest.

Azure Dragon Commerce's second secretary, Situ Yufeng.

Situ Yufeng appeared under forty, with a handsome face, but he couldn't conceal the air of superiority.

Ning Anbang thought Azure Dragon Commerce had abandoned the Ning Family, but Situ Yufeng's sudden visit made him feel flattered.

"Secretary Situ, what brings you here?" Ning Anbang knew that although the Ning Family was prominent in Qingzhou, it was just a small fry compared to Azure Dragon Commerce.

Especially the seven secretaries under the Azure Dragon Commerce president, who controlled the development of the entire corporation, wielding power just below the president.

Since Situ Yufeng ranked second, naturally, his status was only inferior to the first secretary and the president.

Situ Yufeng greeted warmly, shaking Ning Anbang's hand firmly: "Haha, Brother Ning, I wouldn't come without business! I've heard about your son's situation, but I haven't had time to visit. I'm truly sorry!"

Ning Anbang's eyes flashed with hatred.

My son died because of Azure Dragon Commerce, and they ignored us afterward, now they come with kind words.

Yet, Situ Yufeng had spoken so politely, so Ning Anbang put on a grateful face: "Secretary Situ, you're too kind! Alas, my son was incompetent, and that ruthless kid surnamed Ye is to blame. There's nothing I can do!"

"Brother Ning, actually, I'm here to give you an opportunity to avenge your son." After sitting down with Ning Anbang, Situ Yufeng smiled mysteriously.

"Oh?" Ning Anbang was stunned.

He felt confident that with Li Zhuifeng's help, dealing with Ye Guichen and Chen Ziran would be no problem, but hearing Situ Yufeng's words made him excited.

Ning Chengyuan was dead, but the Ning Family had to continue growing.

Even if Ning Chengcai, the idiot son, impregnated Chen Ziran and had a grandchild, that grandchild would need a stronger foundation.

So, no matter what, clinging to the Azure Dragon Commerce was always beneficial.

"Secretary Situ, what do you have in mind?" Ning Anbang refrained from mentioning the action he already took against Ye Guichen and instead asked.

Situ Yufeng sighed deeply: "Ah, Brother Ning, you don't know, I truly wanted to avenge your son, but I'm powerless now!"

His sorrowful expression clearly awaited Ning Anbang's questioning.

Ning Anbang didn't expect this turn of phrase but knew Situ Yufeng's visit had a purpose and quickly asked: "Secretary Situ, are you facing problems?"

"Indeed!" Situ Yufeng looked distressed: "I've mentioned to the president wanting to integrate your Ning Family into Azure Dragon Commerce, but it was blocked, and the matter was shelved."

"Who?" Ning Anbang asked instinctively.

Situ Yufeng's lips briefly curled into a cold smile but quickly hid it and continued, "The first secretary, An Cangsheng."

"Secretary An?" Ning Anbang puzzled: "Secretary Situ, I have no enmity with Secretary An, why would he harm the Ning Family?"

Situ Yufeng shook his head: "Ning brother, you don't know, An Cangsheng is highly ambitious, even coveting the president's position. He fears that if you join Azure Dragon Commerce and get too close to the president, it would hinder his plans."

This thoroughly piqued Ning Anbang's curiosity: "Secretary Situ, what do you mean? Does Secretary An have other schemes?"

"Hehe, much more!" Situ Yufeng's gaze revealed a strategic mind: "Brother Ning, have you heard of Sakura Falling?"
