Looking at each of the henchmen whose eyes were filled with murderous intent, Ye Guichen smiled wryly.

This was exactly the outcome he desired.

Who cares about Zhao Taixui's woman.

Who cares about drinking with the red-skirted woman.

Everything was just for this moment.

Ever since he came to Jinling and started interacting with Lv Liang, Ye Guichen knew that if he wanted to get involved in the matters here, he could never count on Lv Liang.

Moreover, Lv Liang was very likely to sabotage his efforts.

Coming to the bar, Ye Guichen's initial intention was just to gather some information.

But unexpectedly, Zhao Taixui appeared.

With just a few words, Ye Guichen understood that Zhao Taixui was not someone to be trifled with.

The more formidable a person is, the more Ye Guichen is interested.

Such a person must be deeply connected with those matters.

Since that's the case, then might as well let him see his skills; otherwise, how would he have any leverage for negotiation?

Gathering information requires an insider's perspective; otherwise, how can you gather anything?

This Zhao Taixui clearly was his breakthrough point.

And the red-skirted woman was just a puppet on the strings.

Seeing those henchmen already storming forward.

The red-skirted woman showed a trace of unbearable expression in her eyes and quickly turned her head away.

She had seen these men in action, knowing they were merciless devils.

Far superior to the bouncers in the bar.

Usually, Zhao Taixui would keep these men by his side.

Lately, Zhao Taixui even had them with him while he slept.

The red-skirted woman clearly remembered that night, Zhao Taixui was mauling her in bed while these henchmen stood with their backs to them in the bedroom—an utterly absurd scene.

However, the red-skirted woman knew that she had no choice.

She could only comply.

Ye Guichen's glass was already empty.

He finally raised his head and smiled mischievously, "Zhao Taixui, your welcoming ceremony seems a bit over the top, doesn't it?"

With that, the glass in his hand was thrown.

Hit directly on the forehead of one of the henchmen.

Precisely, with just the right amount of force.

The henchman was sent flying, crashed to the ground, and passed out instantly.

Then, Ye Guichen waved his hand.

His fist, seemingly carried with explosive force, sent another henchman flying.

The other henchmen did not flinch.

They simultaneously approached, intending to kill Ye Guichen on the spot.

Ye Guichen still didn't move, not even shifting his butt, and slapped out with both hands, sending two more henchmen flying.

Zhao Taixui's pupils contracted slightly.

This guy's tactics were unexpectedly that strong.

"Zhao Taixui, don't waste your efforts!" Ye Guichen withdrew his hand and smiled brightly at Zhao Taixui.

Zhao Taixui blushed furiously.

An act of humiliation.

Yet he had no choice.

"You, are you really not sent by Yin Yang Face?" Zhao Taixui, after all, was a big shot in Jinling. He took a deep breath, seemingly unable to believe it.

Recently, apart from those from Yin Yang Face, there seemed to be no other experts roaming around.

Even if there were, they all kept a low profile, not daring to show themselves.

Ye Guichen shook his head again, "I said, I just came to drink today. Since I saw you, Zhao Taixui, I also hope to have a drink with you."

Zhao Taixui was stunned.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

Before anyone else could speak, Zhao Taixui waved his hand, "Everyone, get out."

He understood the meaning in Ye Guichen's words.

Moments later, only Ye Guichen, Zhao Taixui, and the red-skirted woman were left in the room.

The red-skirted woman bit her lip, surprised at how much stronger Ye Guichen was than she had imagined. She looked at Ye Guichen with some astonishment and then turned to leave.

Ye Guichen raised his hand, "Could you please bring me another glass of wine, Red-skirted Sister?"

A trace of coldness flashed in Zhao Taixui's eyes, but thinking of Ye Guichen's earlier display, he still waved his hand, signaling the red-skirted woman to do as Ye Guichen said.

He strode toward Ye Guichen, looking down at him sitting on the sofa, and coldly asked, "Since you're not from Yin Yang Face, what do you want by provoking me today?"

Ye Guichen looked up and smiled, "I heard there has been some turmoil recently, someone wanting to intervene in the region's delicate balance, so I want to get involved too."

"Hmm?" Zhao Taixui grew more suspicious, "May I ask your name, young brother, and on what basis do you want to get involved?"

"Ye Guichen." Ye Guichen only reported his name and then smiled meaningfully, "Judging by your expression, it seems you're not happy with Yin Yang Face either?"

"Hell, I've been struggling in Jinling for decades, finally got a foothold, and now Yin Yang Face wants to swallow it all. Not just me, many are unhappy!" Zhao Taixui, being tall and burly, spoke in a rough voice. Seeing Ye Guichen speak this way, he blurted out.

Upon hearing this, Ye Guichen secretly thought, indeed.

The situation in Yun City back then was evident.

I'd rather be the leader of the chickens than the tail of the phoenix.

Since they're all big shots, who wants to be trampled by others?

Looking at Zhao Taixui's expression, he seemed merely frustrated but didn't dare show it.

"Since you're dissatisfied, why not tell Yin Yang Face?" Ye Guichen deliberately provoked.

"Damn, if I could defeat them, I…" Zhao Taixui, realizing he had misspoke, quickly shut up, glaring angrily at Ye Guichen, "Kid, what exactly do you want?"

Ye Guichen understood.

Dissatisfied but unable to beat them.

No choice but to endure silently.

However, endurance definitely has its limit.

Fear that once it reaches a certain point, Zhao Taixui and his men will have to submit.

Though violent methods can't win hearts, they often are a great tool to solve problems.

Of course, violent methods are likely the most feasible and the quickest solution.

At this time, the red-skirted woman walked in with a tray holding two glasses of red wine.

Standing beside Zhao Taixui, she didn't dare move, waiting for Zhao Taixui's command for the next step.

Ye Guichen stood up, took one of the glasses, and swirled it in front of Zhao Taixui, "I came today to propose a cooperation with Brother Zhao. The Yin Yang Face you mentioned is very likely my enemy, so..."

Though he hadn't finished speaking, his meaning was clear.

Zhao Taixui was somewhat astounded.

Cooperation?

You come to cooperate, first teasing my woman, then beating my men.

Is that cooperation?

But having been in the underworld for so many years.

Zhao Taixui quickly understood Ye Guichen's intention.

This was to show his strength.

Zhao Taixui couldn't help but look at Ye Guichen with newfound respect.

Indeed, this demonstration hit Zhao Taixui solidly.

He had to endure it.

Ye Guichen's skills were enough reason for Zhao Taixui to cooperate with him.

"Haha, since you call me Brother Zhao, I won't hold back then." He grabbed a glass of wine and downed it.

Then, he smashed the glass: "Brother Ye's skills are impressive, but just by yourself, you might not be enough to contend with Yin Yang Face?"

Ye Guichen's mind stirred, he smiled, "I'd love to hear more."
