Chapter 2827

Just as the Yin family was mobilizing all available forces, digging three feet into the ground if necessary to find Yin Xuan, a middle-aged man in a well-tailored suit with an extraordinary demeanor walked into Ye Zhen's office at Zhongbao.

"Miss Ye!" The middle-aged man, who had been standing straight, bent his waist the moment he saw Ye Zhen: "What do you need me for, Miss?"

Ye Zhen pointed to the sofa: "Sit down and speak."

The middle-aged man walked to the sofa and slowly sat down, but only half of his buttocks touched the sofa, with his hands properly placed on his knees.

Ye Zhen also didn't waste words: "I called you here to assign you a task. If you complete it well, I guarantee you will never worry about food and drink for the rest of your life. If you fail, I still guarantee you will never worry about food and drink for the rest of your life."

The middle-aged man straightened his back: "Miss Ye, whatever task you give me, I promise to complete it properly and thoroughly."

Ye Zhen said: "I will arrange for you to have the identity of a foreign merchant, then go to Jinmen to invest. As for what project, you decide yourself, but the investment amount cannot be too small.

Too little won't attract the interest of hungry wolves, but too much is also not good. Because wolves are suspicious, investing too much will arouse suspicion. So, around 150 million US dollars is just right..."

More than an hour later, the middle-aged man left Ye Zhen's office. As he carefully closed the office door, his bent waist instantly straightened. Then he adjusted his collar and walked away with a smile on his face.

In the office, Ye Zhen took out a pack of ladies' cigarettes from the drawer and lit one.

"Zhou Andong has already arrived in Guangdong Province, so I also need to make a trip there."

Ye Zhen's mind conjured the image of Zhou Andong, and a gentle smile appeared on her face.

After a while, Ye Zhen came back to her senses, the gentle smile on her face disappeared. She raised her wrist to check her watch, then hurriedly stood up and walked out.

The procedures for Ye Jun's release from prison were completed yesterday; he came out at noon today, and she needs to go to the prison to pick him up. But she had just been lost in thought, so engrossed that she forgot the time.

The prison gates clanged open, and Ye Jun walked out. He looked up at the sun in the sky and the distant white clouds, taking a deep breath of free air.

Then, this guy started looking left and right. Aside from the distant village, everywhere his gaze reached were fields, with not a single person in sight.

"Why is no one here to pick me up?" Ye Jun began to suspect, wondering if his family had abandoned him. If no one came to get him, his parents should have come, right?

After waiting a while and still seeing no one, Ye Jun could only set off on foot, walking along the road toward the urban area.

It's not that there are no buses here, but he doesn't even have two mao in his pocket for the bus fare, so he has no choice but to grit his teeth and walk back.

He had walked for over twenty minutes when suddenly an Audi 100 appeared ahead. In the blink of an eye, the car drove up close. When he saw the license plate, his eyes welled up. He had not been abandoned by his family; his aunt had come to pick him up.

Ye Zhen rolled down the car window and said coldly: "You plan to walk back on your own?"

Ye Jun came to his senses and quickly shook his head: "Even if I walked until dark, I still couldn't make it home."

Ye Zhen said impatiently: "Don't want to walk back? Then hurry up and get in the car."

"Okay!" Ye Jun hastily opened the car door and got in: "Auntie, why did you come to pick me up? What about my dad and mom?"

Ye Zhen snorted: "Your dad dislikes you for embarrassing him and refuses to come. Your mom is in a hurry to go play mahjong and told me just to say you won't die."

Actually, Ye Jun's release from prison was something his parents didn't even know about, because Ye Zhen told no one. As for the only person who knew, Ye Man Laoyezi, since no one asked him, he naturally wouldn't say anything.

Ye Jun fell into silence, and Ye Zhen glanced at the rearview mirror, the corner of her mouth twitching into a faint, almost imperceptible smile.

"Does it feel bad to be abandoned by your parents?"

Ye Jun still didn't speak, and Ye Zhen's smile at the corner of her mouth became more obvious: "Tomorrow, come with me to Guangdong Province."

Ye Jun was stunned and asked doubtfully: "What are we going to Guangdong Province for?"

"To take you to broaden your horizons and gain experience." Ye Zhen kept her eyes level on the road ahead, driving at a steady pace: "See how Zhou Andong stirs up wind and cloud within the rules, how he sends enemies to prison, and even to the execution ground."

Ye Jun's expression stiffened slightly, his lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't utter a single word. I myself have personally experienced this—just half an hour ago I came out of there—do I really need to run to Guangdong Province to see?

Ye Zhen naturally didn't know what Ye Jun was thinking, and continued: "Once we get to Guangdong Province, take a good look. After that, you will follow Zhou Andong in doing things."

Ye Jun's eyes flashed with resentment: "Zhou Andong is nothing, letting me follow him..."

"Shut up!" Ye Zhen's face darkened as she interrupted Ye Jun: "If you don't obey, I will immediately send you back to prison."

Ye Jun looked resentful, but didn't dare say anything else. Because he clearly knew Ye Zhen's temper—sending him back to prison, such a despicable act, she would definitely do it, and even the old master couldn't stop her.

Ye Zhen parked the car in front of her own building, Ye Jun got out and looked up.

"Why aren't you taking me home?"

"Home?" Ye Zhen sneered: "Your dad and mom don't care about you anymore—do you still have a home?"

Ye Jun fell into silence again. He had lived for thirty-odd years, been respectfully supported for thirty-odd years, all because his grandfather was called Ye Pu?

Now, his parents don't care about him, and at his grandfather's place he dares not hope for anything either, because at the moment he was arrested, the old master had already abandoned him. Otherwise, who would dare to arrest him?

Ye Zhen brought Ye Jun upstairs, took out the key to open the door, and after entering, Ye Jun immediately slumped sideways on the sofa, lifeless, staring blankly at the ceiling without moving.

Ye Zhen took off her high heels, walked barefoot to the sofa, and kicked Ye Jun hard: "Get up, take a wash, get rid of the bad luck, then come out to eat with me."

After saying that, Ye Zhen stopped dealing with Ye Jun and instead picked up the phone on the sofa cabinet to book a flight.

At the same time, Qin Zhi and his wife Shi Mengjiao had already arrived at the Garden Hotel. He first went to the guest room, standing at the door of Room 6020 and had just knocked a few times when Zhou Andong didn't come out. The door of the room behind him opened, and Tang Lin walked out, with Zuo Zuo following behind, yawning.

"Knock knock knock, knocking for what? No one opens the door for you, that means no one's home."

Tang Lin laughed: "Turns out you're the Young Master of the God of Wealth's family. Looking at you like this, things should be mostly done by now, right?"

Qin Zhi arrogantly lifted his chin: "That's right, with me, Qin Zhi, personally leading the charge, is there anything I can't accomplish?"

"Cut it out." Zuo Zuo curled his lip, speaking disdainfully: "Before you knew Zhou Dongzi, you were just a good-for-nothing who lived off others, eating and waiting to die. What have you ever accomplished?"
