As for the other two who had previously been knocked unconscious by Ye Ling, they naturally received a good thrashing after Ye Ling woke them up.Of course, the purpose of the thrashing was not to let them escape, but...
Robbery!
What dissatisfied Ye Ling was that these two guys were weaker than the middle-aged man, and clearly had less wealth as well.
The two of them together only amounted to 2.4 billion.
Of course, 2.4 billion, plus the middle-aged man's 3.3 billion, totaled 5.7 billion; for anyone, having such a fortune would be more than enough to live on Earth.
However, Ye Ling certainly wasn't satisfied, as for him, the amount of money needed to increase his cultivation was just too much.
"You really know how to make money, netting over 5 billion with just a few words, faster than my earning speed."
Shen Yuexin approached and said in a clear voice.
Perhaps it was because Ye Ling had saved her, at this moment, Shen Yuexin's tone when speaking to Ye Ling was no longer as icy as before.
"No matter how fast I make money, I'm not as quick as you. Besides, I can't always use this method, can I?"
Ye Ling rolled his eyes and spoke again, "Now we understand that a person named Hu Cheng wants to kill you, do you know him?"
"Of course, I know him."
Shen Yuexin's face immediately turned cold: "Hu Cheng is also a member of the Huamei Group's board of directors, but he holds very few shares and can't even rank in the top five. If you're telling me he wants to kill me, I absolutely don't believe it."
"What you mean is… Hu Cheng is just a scapegoat?" Ye Ling frowned and asked.
"Yes."
Shen Yuexin nodded: "That old man Hu Cheng is really getting on in years, and his mind isn't clear anymore. If I really had died this time, I'm afraid the person behind this would have gone after him next."
"So who do you think is the real person who wants to kill you?" Ye Ling asked again.
"Without evidence, I won't make accusations. After all, there are just too many people eyeing my position. Even though I have my suspicions, they are only suspicions."
"So we let the other party get off scot-free?"
"Do you think I am the kind of person who would take a loss lying down?"
Shen Yuexin looked at Ye Ling, "Anyone who dares to take a hit on me must be prepared to end up in the morgue. I, Shen Yuexin, didn't get to where I am today by doing nothing."
"Fine, you handle it your way."
Ye Ling thought for a moment and then said to Yuan Heng and the others, "Yuan Heng, you take those two to the hospital first. Just drive my car, since we have no other vehicles available now."
"Senior, is that really okay?"
Yuan Heng, now extremely respectful towards Ye Ling, continued, "We are covered in blood; what if we dirty your car?"
"What's more important, life or the car?" Ye Ling said.
Hearing this, Yuan Heng immediately put on an extremely touched expression.
However, Ye Ling's next sentence made him collapse.
"Of course, the car is important too. My car was also impacted in the explosion just now and must have suffered some damage. Once your cars are repaired, just give me any one of them, won't that do?"
"That's true."
Yuan Heng's mouth twitched hard, but he didn't say anything more and drove off with the two men.
This time, Ye Ling had saved their lives; although it felt like taking advantage, they had plenty of money, and they could certainly afford to gift a vehicle like an X6 or a Range Rover.
"Those cars have all been tampered with, and I'm not planning to keep them. If you like them, you can have them all," Shen Yuexin said.
Ye Ling's eyes widened, "Really?"
Seeing Shen Yuexin nod, Ye Ling couldn't help but sigh in admiration, "She truly lives up to being the president of Huamei Group, so generous in giving. The total value of these cars is at least 10 million, and she's just giving them away like that."
"But I don't need that many. Just give me three. I want two Range Rover Vogues and that red BMW X6; consider it repayment for saving your life. How about that?"
"Do as you see fit."
Shen Yuexin's words were extremely brief but very decisive.
"How about this, to show my gratitude, why don't you stay at my place tonight?" Ye Ling suggested.
Shen Yuexin couldn't help but turn her head to look at Ye Ling, "Stay at your house?"
Even someone as thick-skinned as Ye Ling couldn't help but blush under Shen Yuexin's stare.
Still, he endured it and said, "Yeah! Where else could you stay?"
"If I stay at your house, should I be thanking you, or should you be thanking me?" Shen Yuexin asked.
"Damn, what do you mean by that? I invited you to my house, and there's no other implication." Sёarᴄh the NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Ye Ling rolled his eyes and said, "Look, all your cars are still under repair, and my car has been driven away. You have no way of getting back to Donghai, and it's already getting dark. Even if you find another car, it will take hours to go back and forth. Why bother with all that?"
"The most important thing is, you've just been through a life-and-death crisis. I was able to protect you once, but I can't be there to protect you every moment, can I?"
"Although I know you're using reverse psychology on me, I still have to believe you."
Shen Yuexin stared at Ye Ling for a while before she finally spoke slowly.
Ye Ling's heart pounded wildly. He found talking with Shen Yuexin to be incredibly pressurizing.
This woman was nothing like Liu Qiao'er, who was innocent, cute, and a bit dumb. Compared to Liu Qiao'er, Shen Yuexin was astute to the point of death, seeing through everything at a glance.
If it weren't for Ye Ling's unusually thick skin, he really couldn't have withstood the pressure from Shen Yuexin.
It was precisely because of this that Ye Ling felt an even stronger desire to conquer Shen Yuexin!
As they headed back the way they came and passed by the cars, Shen Yuexin told the people repairing them, "After you fix them, bring me the keys to that red X6 and two keys for the Range Rovers."
"Understood, President Shen."
"You really get things done efficiently. After being poor for so long, I can finally see what it feels like to drive luxury cars~" Ye Ling laughed heartily.
"You, poor?"

Shen Yuexin glanced at Ye Ling and added, "Besides, a Vogue and an X6 don't really count as luxury cars, right? With your wealth, even a Bugatti would be easy for you to buy."
"Yeah, once I've robbed... erm, earned a bit more, I'll consider getting a Bugatti," Ye Ling said.
Why buy luxury cars?
Many people would say it's because they're comfortable.
Comfort my ass!
It's just for two simple words—showing off!
Ye Ling never denied that he liked to show off; he loved luxury cars, it's as simple as that.
As the two of them were heading towards the village, there were quite a few people heading out as well.
They had all heard the huge explosion and naturally wanted to go see what had happened.
Li Dazhu was also among them. When Ye Ling saw him, he grabbed him and said with a secretive smile, "Dazhu, there's nothing to see. Come to my place, I'll give you a gift later."
