Chapter 119: Recovering the Money

[Page 1 of 3]

The two men had attended to her for several days. If they received no money, would all their hard work have been for nothing? One of the taller men suddenly exploded.

“You say we won’t get paid, and that settles it? We’ve worked ourselves to the bone for days. Who’s going to compensate us for the toll it’s taken on our bodies?”

Chen Yu pulled out twenty thousand in cash.

“Is this enough?”

The brothers flushed with anger and pointed at Chen Yu as they shouted, “Of course it isn’t! This much wouldn’t even cover supplements.”

No one had it easy these days. Even male escorts had to worry about the wear and tear on their bodies. Ye Fei was just about to offer them more when Chen Yu said, “For men of your caliber, twenty thousand is already more than enough.”

…

Not only had the two men failed to get paid that day, they had also suffered a tremendous humiliation.

“Sister Wang, surely you can say something about this. My brother and I have done everything we could these past few days. Don’t let us go through all that trouble for nothing.” The taller man wheedled at Wang Fang, not forgetting to add, “We’ll still be at your service in the future.”

Good grief. Ye Fei’s eyes widened. Were male escorts really this dedicated nowadays?

Wang Fang seemed to draw strength from some mysterious source. She hurriedly rose to her feet.

“Get out! Who do you think you are? Do you really think you work for the Everlasting Group?”

Ye Fei snapped his fingers and said cheerfully, “I do. I work for the Everlasting Group. Don’t you recognize me?”

Could Lin Qiqing have found him so quickly?

Impossible!

Wang Fang drew a deep breath and forced herself to remain calm. She knew everyone in the Everlasting Group, from top to bottom, but she had never seen either of the men standing before her.

“Bullshit! I’ve met everyone in the Everlasting Group. Which one are you? Do you really think I’ll let you get away with impersonating someone from the Everlasting Group?”

…

Wow. Not only was this woman unremarkable in appearance, her morals and temperament were utterly appalling as well. It was no wonder she had to hire male escorts; no one else would ever want someone like her. Ye Fei could not understand how his Second Senior Sister had ever chosen to trust her.

He sneered inwardly. Beside him, Chen Yu swayed over to Wang Fang and carefully looked her up and down.

“Dear sister, we’re both women. Why make things difficult for that little girl Lin Qiqing? You’ve followed her for so many years, and she has never treated you poorly. How could you do something so outrageous?”

Wang Fang glared at Chen Yu and suddenly shrieked, “It’s only right! Everyone loves that bitch Lin Qiqing! But what about me? What about me? I’ve followed her all my life, made money for her, worked for her, and that ungrateful whore doesn’t even appreciate it!”

Ye Fei raised an eyebrow. Where was this coming from?

According to Zhou Danzhuang, his Second Senior Sister had treated Wang Fang even better than a blood sister. She received dividends every year, so how had Lin Qiqing somehow become the one at fault in Wang Fang’s eyes?

It seemed that being too kind to people really did more harm than good.

“Madam, please choose your words carefully. My senior sister’s name is not yours to defile. I—”

“Senior sister?” Wang Fang’s expression suddenly changed. She stared straight at him. “Oh, please. She’s a lone woman. Where would she get a junior brother from? How come I’ve never heard of this?”

Ye Fei straightened his collar and replied solemnly, “Hello. I’m Lin Qiqing’s junior brother, Ye Fei. I’m also the security chief of your company.”

The junior brother of a major company’s president should at least have been a deputy manager. How had Ye Fei ended up as head of security?

Wang Fang thought she must have misheard him.

“What did you just say? What position do you hold?”

“Head of security.”

“Hahaha! Are you kidding me? Lin Qiqing has always protected her own. How could she possibly let her junior brother become head of security?”

She knew that for all these years, Lin Qiqing had turned a blind eye to her embezzlement and personal profiteering.

“All right, my senior sister does protect her own. But I’m not exactly ambitious, so having a position as head of security is good enough for me. Now, where’s the money? I’m not here to waste time arguing with you. Hand it over, and out of consideration for my Second Senior Sister, I’ll go easy on you.”

With that, Ye Fei held out his hand.

Wang Fang’s face went pale. She had only been on the run for a few days, and she had planned to leave Hangzhou the next day. Yet trouble had found her that very night.

She glanced at Chen Yu.

“And who are you?”

Chen Yu gave a coy little cry and pressed herself against Ye Fei.

“I’m his wife.”

Uh… This woman seemed to have become addicted to pretending they were husband and wife. Ye Fei accepted the fact helplessly and continued confronting Wang Fang.

Wang Fang glanced toward the door, then leaned over the window and watched outside for a long while. Suddenly, she rushed over, looking tense and anxious.

“We’ll split it evenly. We could never spend all that money in our lifetimes, and you wouldn’t have to remain some security chief.”

Ye Fei knew this routine all too well. Back when he had worked as a mercenary overseas, every manhunt eventually ended with a scene like this.

Chen Yu frowned slightly. It was only several hundred million. How could anyone possibly fail to spend it all in a lifetime?

“Miss, it’s only several hundred million. You’d spend it all in a few years. Do you really think it could last a lifetime?”

Ye Fei was utterly stunned. As expected of a wealthy heiress. Even after falling into desperate circumstances, she could not conceal her aura of financial aristocracy.

Across from them, Wang Fang’s face stiffened. In her world, even half of that sum would have been enough to let her live in comfort and luxury for the rest of her life.

“Big sister, that’s enough to support an ordinary person for several lifetimes. Don’t say things like that,” Ye Fei reminded her quietly.

Chen Yu gave an embarrassed little “oh” and continued clinging to Ye Fei.

“I’m not interested in splitting it. I want all of it. Are you going to hand it over willingly, or should I kill you and look for it myself?” Ye Fei adopted the tone of an interrogator.

She did not believe Ye Fei would truly act. Fearlessly, she provoked him.

“Is that so? Do you dare? If you kill me, I guarantee your senior sister’s company will collapse in an instant! And you’ll never find that money for as long as you live.”

Did sleeping with male escorts make her this defiant? Ye Fei refused to believe it. He suddenly drew his broken blade and hurled it at her.

“Ah!”

“Blood!”

The broken blade plunged straight into her abdomen. Wang Fang stared in horror at the blood on her hands and cried out repeatedly, “Help me! Help me!”

Ye Fei’s expression did not change. He calmly walked over and gripped the knife handle.

“Madam, I told you—I can find the money myself. If you tell me where it is, I guarantee you’ll walk out of here alive today.”

“The check! It can be cashed at a Swiss bank!”

Spiritual energy flowed from Ye Fei’s hand, instantly stopping the bleeding.

“Write down the account number and password.”

Wang Fang stared blankly at the paper and pen like a puppet, but she did not dare move her hand.

Seeing this, Ye Fei said softly, “Write. Now. Otherwise, I have a hundred ways to kill you. I don’t want to make my senior sister sad, so you’d better cooperate. Understand?”

She snatched up the pen and paper and shakily wrote down a string of numbers.

“Okay. Until next time.”
