Ye Guichen did not argue.

There's no point in debating these things with Lv Liang.

The meal was a bit gloomy.

Ye Guichen didn't ask Lv Liang about anything in Jinling, but Su Jiu'er inquired several times. However, Lv Liang only replied with some unimportant words and evaded the questions.

This made Su Jiu'er start contemplating Ye Guichen's words.

After the meal, it was just past two in the afternoon.

Ye Guichen declined Lv Liang's arrangements, saying he wanted to stroll around, and walked along the road with Su Jiu'er.

However, Lv Liang stared at Ye Guichen's back with a sinister smile on his lips.

"Yongzi."

At Lv Liang's call, the burly man who previously wielded a machete to attack Ye Guichen came over, "Mr. Lv, what do you need?"

Lv Liang lit a cigarette and placed it in his mouth.

The man named Yongzi quickly lit it for him.

"Keep an eye on that kid. Hmph, I want to see if he has what it takes to meddle in Jinling."

Yongzi frowned, his eyes showing some apprehension, "Mr. Lv, I don't understand. Since you know this kid has some skills, why do you want to frame him? Also, from his demeanor, it seems he didn't take it to heart at all."

"Haha, it's purely to disgust him," Lv Liang sneered, taking a deep drag on his cigarette and exhaling a smoke ring, "Duan Nanye actually sent this kid to investigate Jinling. The chamber of commerce has already started taking action, anyone who resists will be eliminated directly. No matter how impressive little Ye Guichen is, he's just a small fry causing trouble in the big ocean. Even if he has some tricks, he can't create much of a stir."

"Mr. Lv, what do you plan to do next?" Yongzi asked again.

Lv Liang gently shook his head, "Just keep an eye on him, see what he plans to do. Don't act rashly, wait for my instructions."

"Got it."

Yongzi responded and called a few people to follow Ye Guichen quietly.

After finishing his cigarette, Lv Liang stubbed it out with his foot and re-entered the Cloud Viewing Restaurant, heading to a private room on the top floor.

Though it's a restaurant, it also has guest rooms, quite similar to a hotel.

However, compared to rooms in a five-star hotel, these rooms are at least twice as expensive.

He knocked on the door.

After hearing a man's voice, Lv Liang pushed the door open and entered, a smile immediately spreading on his face, "Boss, he's gone."

There was a large bed in the room.

A man lay on the bed, his upper body bare, while two beautiful masseuses kneaded his back.

The man's face looked a bit eerie; a large birthmark covered half of his left face, almost splitting his entire face in two.

Upon hearing Lv Liang's voice, the man didn't even open his eyes but continued to enjoy the massage, his voice devoid of emotion, "How did it go?"

"I had someone accuse that kid of stealing another person's woman, just to annoy him. Now I've got Yongzi keeping an eye on him," Lv Liang quickly reported on the earlier events.

The man with the split face showed no reaction, "Haha, I didn't expect Ye Guichen to be in cahoots with Duan Nanye. It seems that they are determined to get me! Lv Liang, don't act rashly moving forward, just keep a close watch on that kid."

"Boss, what will you do next?" Lv Liang eagerly inquired, his eyes shining with undisguised fervor, as if the man with the split face was his idol.

"Of course, I'll help the chairperson unify the three provinces of Jiangnan," the man with the split face said as he slowly sat up, squinting at Lv Liang. "Now that our Yama Hall is following the chairperson, we naturally have to do some work for him. Haha, since Ye Guichen came knocking on our door, I can't not entertain him properly!"

...

After leaving the Cloud Viewing Restaurant, Ye Guichen did not return to the hotel where he had already booked, but instead, sent Su Jiu'er back first and proceeded directly to the famous bar street in Jinling.

In almost every city, indulgence is pervasive.

The effect of alcohol often stimulates the nerves of both men and women.

Those burdened with worries.

Use alcohol to drown their sorrows.

Those who indulge for a night.

Use alcohol to hide.

Many times, alcohol is an excellent catalyst and a remedy for masking their inner fervent thoughts.

Whether ordinary people or martial artists, even emperors and generals, down to street vendors, who doesn't love alcohol?

But often, truth spills out after drinking.

Therefore, bars are often the quickest place to gather information.

According to the information provided by Duan Nanye, martial artists in Jinling are now living in constant fear, solely focusing on self-preservation.

Consequently, various problems are emerging in an endless stream.

On the surface, the winds are calm, but underneath, the currents are turbulent.

He arrived at a bar called Violet.

He walked straight in, ordered a signature drink, and sat in a corner, quietly observing.

This bar was bustling with people.

Men were here to hunt for beauties.

Women were here out of curiosity.

Of course, this curiosity often included any man who caught their eye.

Today, although Ye Guichen wasn't dressed to look handsome, he still appeared quite dashing.

Before long, he became the target of many glamorously dressed women in the bar.

Not far from him, at a table, a group of young men and women were laughing and chatting.

Those people occasionally glanced at Ye Guichen, seemingly surprised that a good-looking young man would come to the bar alone.

Finally, a young girl, looking heavily made-up and pretending to be mature, approached Ye Guichen with a drink in hand, "Hey handsome, all alone?"

Ye Guichen had little interest in such a teenage girl.

Despite her decent looks, the heavy makeup caused Ye Guichen to frown slightly.

The girl seemed to notice Ye Guichen's expression and showed a hint of displeasure, "What's wrong? How about having a drink with me?"

Ye Guichen looked up at the girl, "Hasn't your guardian taught you that this isn't a place you should be?"

"What did you say!" The girl was clearly angered by this, "You're only a few years older than me, acting all high and mighty. Have a drink with me, or I'll be rude to you!"

Her eyes were full of anger, and she sneaked a glance at her previous table, seeing her companions laughing, she defiantly sat down.

Ye Guichen easily saw through this group's antics.

They must have thought of him as a pawn.

"Little girl, I have things to do. If you want to play, go find someone else," Ye Guichen remained disinterested in the girl, instead focusing his gaze on a mature woman sitting by the bar.

The woman looked to be in her thirties, with an outstanding figure and an undeniable air of maturity.

Her fiery red dress made her the center of attention in the bar.

However, despite looking like a beautiful rose, not a single man in the bar dared to approach her.

The girl seemed to notice Ye Guichen's gaze, and mocked, "What, interested in that woman? Haha, forget it, that woman belongs to Zhao Taixui. I advise you not to look too much, or you might not keep that handsome face of yours."
