Chapter 2351: A Big Shot Comes Knocking
Upon hearing the question, Ye Chen smiled slightly and said indifferently, "I don't just know Mei Yuzhen; I've even had a meal with her. In Providence, she went by the alias Chen Liping, and she had a man named Xu Jianxi with her, acting as a couple. Am I wrong?"
Hearing this, not only did Ma Kui look horrified, but Lang Hongjun was also dumbfounded.
He didn't know who Mei Yuzhen was, but he knew Chen Liping!
It was Chen Liping who told his mother that there was a job opening for sailors in Mexico with great benefits.
His mother had even been grateful to her, believing her help had saved their entire family.
Yet, who could have imagined that this woman was so vicious that she intended to dig out his heart to sell it!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask Ye Chen, "Brother... how... how do you know Chen Liping?! Were you also deceived by her and brought here?!"
Ye Chen gave a disdainful laugh and said indifferently, "Brother, with Chen Liping's level of ability, it's impossible for her to deceive me."
Ma Kui's expression turned panicked.
He realized that since Ye Chen knew Mei Yuzhen's true identity and still dared to enter the dragon's den alone, he must have a backup plan.
Therefore, he couldn't help but ask, "Brother, I see you have extraordinary courage and are no ordinary person. I think you should stop beating around the bush. State your background directly. If we are on the same side, I, Ma Kui, will never lay a hand on you!"
Ye Chen sneered, "To be honest, I really look down on your little business. Going to such lengths to deceive people in financial distress, only to kill them and harvest their organs—this kind of behavior is even more disgusting than the beggars' sects that maim children. To put it bluntly, you have no shame. I, Ye Chen, have dominated the scene for so many years; how could I possibly be on the same side as you?"
Ma Kui felt even more panicked.
He noticed that from the moment Ye Chen mentioned Mei Yuzhen's name, there hadn't been a trace of fear in his expression. His eyes were filled with mockery and contempt. If he didn't have absolute confidence, he could never be this composed.
Thinking of this, Ma Kui broke out in a cold sweat.
Originally, he had intended to pull the trigger and kill Ye Chen, but now, he couldn't bring himself to do it.
He asked nervously, "Brother, what exactly do you want to do? Since you know what kind of business we are in, you should know that we are people who kill without blinking. Even if you have a powerful background, in this part of Mexico, I might not necessarily fear you."
Ye Chen smiled slightly and said, "I see that most of the people here are Mexicans. I suppose it's quite difficult for a Chinese person to reach the position of boss here. Is your boss not around?"
Ma Kui nodded and said solemnly, "Our boss has multiple business lines, and this is just one of them. I am not talented, but I am the person in charge of this line. Mei Yuzhen, whom you've encountered, is one of my subordinates in the United States. I have several subordinates in the U. S. and Canada, specifically tasked with transporting sources for me."
Ye Chen nodded slightly and said, "I have some big business I'd like to discuss with your boss. You can make a call and have him come over. I'll wait here."
Ma Kui frowned and said cautiously, "Brother, if you don't reveal your identity, it's impossible for me to notify our boss. Our boss is at least in the top ten among the leaders of criminal groups in Mexico. If you want him to come see you, you must show an identity that can move him."
Ye Chen gave a disdainful laugh, then effortlessly snapped the nylon zip-tie on his wrists.
Immediately after, he reached into his pocket with ease and pulled out that black gold card, of which there were only a few dozen in the world and only a handful in all of China.
Everyone present was stunned, too shocked to even wonder how Ye Chen had broken free, as Ye Chen lightly shook the black gold card in his hand.
Then, he threw the card directly at Ma Kui and sneered, "Come on, open your dog eyes and take a good look. See if you recognize this."
Ma Kui hurriedly reached out and barely managed to catch the black gold card. He took one look, and his expression turned to one of utter shock!
He had heard of the Citibank black gold card, even if he hadn't seen one in person.
He couldn't help but think to himself: "Damn, there are only a few dozen of these cards in the world. Whoever can hold one of these, regardless of how much money is in the account, must have assets exceeding 10 billion USD!"
"What does 10 billion USD mean in a godforsaken place like Mexico?"
"It's already beyond comprehension, damn it!"
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but lower his head to observe the black gold card carefully.
The card was exquisitely crafted; its texture and feel were unlike anything he had ever seen on a card in his life.
The embossed English letters on the surface of the black gold card were so refined they were comparable to a work of art.
And in the bottom left corner of the card, there were embossed English letters stamped with a steel seal, which were exactly the uppercase pinyin of Ye Chen's name.
At this moment, Ma Kui exclaimed in his heart: "This is the real deal!"
The next second, Ma Kui's hands began to tremble uncontrollably.
Ma Kui was considered a martial artist; despite his age, his physical condition was better than most people his age.
This guy could hold down a firing AK-47 with one hand, but now he couldn't even hold a bank card weighing only a few grams with both hands.
At this moment, looking at Ye Chen again, his eyes were filled with awe and fear.
He asked tremblingly, "Brother... no, Mr. Ye... I don't know... I don't know... what brings you here on such a sudden visit..."
Ma Kui wasn't a fool.
When he saw this card, he knew Ye Chen must have immense power, with assets likely exceeding 10 billion USD.
At this moment, he no longer felt he had any initiative.
Because he knew very well that for someone of Ye Chen's net worth, if he dared to use his real identity and risk his own flesh and blood, then this risk, in his eyes, posed absolutely no threat at all.
The reason Ye Chen dared to use his real name to contact these people was, on one hand, because he didn't fear their retaliation at all, as in his view, every single one of them had to die!
On the other hand, he knew that Mei Yuzhen definitely had no contact with them.
Ever since Mei Yuzhen fled Providence, she had severed all contact with her accomplices; this was the old fox's way of protecting herself. Even the Wanlong Palace couldn't find her whereabouts in the short term, which was enough to prove how cautious she was. Therefore, he didn't need to worry about this organization tipping off Mei Yuzhen after he appeared.
Seeing Ma Kui's panicked expression, Ye Chen mocked, "Look at how scared you are. Don't you have guns in your hands and a pack of dogs around you to give you courage?"
The more arrogant Ye Chen was, the more panicked Ma Kui and the guy named A-Liang beside him became.
Seeing the cold sweat dripping from Ma Kui's forehead down to his face, Ye Chen smiled slightly and said, "Alright, let me tell you the truth. I'm currently short of some low-life scum like you who specialize in dirty, despicable work, so I came over to inspect you and see exactly what you're worth." ===== CHAPTER 2352 =====
