Now she could only play \"Paper,\" so wouldn't she lose every single round?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen looked at He Lian and said expressionlessly, \"Come, let's start.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Ye Chen swung his hand and muttered, \"Rock, Paper, Scissors!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he finished, he immediately made a \"Scissors\" sign.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Lian had no way to control her fingers, so she could only look at Ye Chen with eyes like she had just lost her mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen smiled slightly and said, \"I played Scissors, you played Paper. I win, you owe me 10 million.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Ye Chen added, \"Come, let's play the second round.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rock, Paper, Scissors!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh my, I won again. You owe me 20 million.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come, the third round!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rock, Paper, Scissors!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're really honest, why do you keep playing Paper? There's really nothing I can do about you. You owe me 30 million now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen entertained himself and soon won 100 million from He Lian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Ye Chen said to her, \"Come, let's settle the account.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Lian said with a crying face, \"Master Ye, I don't have that much money...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen waved his hand: \"That's none of my business. Call your family—your daughter, son, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, and your husband. Bring all the money your family has, all the real estate that can be mortgaged. If you're even a cent short of 100 million, I'll send you and everyone in your family's household registration who is over eighteen to work in a black coal mine to pay off the debt. The salary is 2,000 a month. When you've paid off 100 million, you'll be free.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, he asked Hong Wu: \"Do you know anyone who runs a black coal mine?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I do,\" Hong Wu blurted out. \"I have a few buddies who committed some crimes in Jin Ling years ago and later went to Jinxi to run coal mines. We can send them all there!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very good.\" Ye Chen nodded and said to He Lian, \"Come, take the initiative and tell me, how many people are in your household registration?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Lian was scared crazy and knelt on the ground, crying and kowtowing, \"Master Ye, I really know I was wrong. If you want money, I can give you all my money! I've saved some family wealth after all these years in Macau, totaling 20 million. I'll give it all to you, please spare my son and daughter!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, she immediately used her broken hands to struggle and take out her phone, then used facial recognition to open her mobile bank and show the balance to Ye Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her personal account had over 21 million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen said lightly, \"Donate all these 21 million to the official donation account of Project Hope!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying that, he took out his phone, found the official account of Project Hope, handed it to He Lian, and said coldly, \"Transfer it now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Lian hurriedly asked, \"Master Ye, if I donate this money, will you let me go?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen sneered, \"Still want to bargain with me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Lian was scared half to death by Ye Chen and hurriedly picked up her phone, following the Project Hope donation account Ye Chen found, and transferred all her money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After transferring everything, she handed the phone to Ye Chen and cried, \"Master Ye, I've donated all my money, the account balance is zero. Can you let me go now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen confirmed that she had donated all her money and said coldly, \"Don't forget, you just lost 100 million to me playing Rock, Paper, Scissors. After donating those 20 million, you still owe me over 70 million.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Lian cried, \"Master Ye, those 20 million were all my family's assets...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen nodded and said, \"Didn't I say? Send your whole household registration to the black coal mine to dig coal. 2,000 a month. When you've paid off this 70 million gambling debt, I'll let you go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Lian broke down and blurted out, \"Master Ye, 2,000 a month is only 24,000 a year. Even if I die, I won't be able to earn enough to pay off the debt!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen asked her back, \"Have you ever thought about how those people who were ruined and burdened with debt by you scammers paid off their debts? If only you had known better, why did you do it in the first place?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying that, Ye Chen asked He Huaqiang, \"Tell me honestly, who are the direct relatives of your second aunt?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Huaqiang hurriedly said, \"She has a husband, a son, and a daughter. Her son got married the year before last, and his wife's family runs a black gambling den in Jin Ling. Her daughter got married last month, and her son-in-law is in micro-lending, specifically scamming young college students, and has already forced several college students to jump off buildings.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen nodded and said coldly, \"Very good. A scammer gave birth to two children, one married the daughter of a black gambling den owner, and one married a micro-lender. Your family is really a nest of snakes and rats!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying that, he immediately took out his phone and sent a WeChat message to Chen Zekai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The content of the WeChat was: \"There's a scammer in Jin Ling who just returned from Macau, named He Lian. Help me check her family, and bring her husband, son, daughter-in-law, daughter, and son-in-law all to Tang Chen C11.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Hong Wu is the underground emperor in Jin Ling, he is only in the underground world. If he were asked to kidnap these people directly, with his ability, he could kidnap them, but he might not be able to handle the aftermath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Chen Zekai is different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Zekai is the representative of the Ye family in Jin Ling. In Jin Ling, even Old Master Song of the Song family has to be polite when seeing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, there is almost nothing Chen Zekai cannot do in Jin Ling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Receiving Ye Chen's instructions, Chen Zekai didn't delay at all and immediately sent people to investigate and search for He Lian's family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Lian was crying bitterly at this time, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to Ye Chen, praying for forgiveness, her forehead already bleeding, but she didn't dare to stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Ye Chen had no sympathy for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had caused so many people to be ruined. An eye for an eye, it was time for her to taste the feeling of being ruined!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, now she could only taste the feeling of being ruined once, which was already being very easy on her! \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Chen Zekai is different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Zekai is the Ye family's representative in Jin Ling; in Jin Ling, even Master Song of the Song family must be very polite when meeting him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, there is almost nothing Chen Zekai cannot accomplish in Jin Ling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon receiving Ye Chen's instructions, Chen Zekai did not delay at all and immediately sent people to investigate and search for He Lian's family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, He Lian was weeping bitterly, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to Ye Chen incessantly, begging for forgiveness; she did not dare to stop even when her forehead was already bleeding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Ye Chen did not have the slightest bit of sympathy for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She caused so many people to lose their fortunes; what goes around comes around, and it is time for her to taste the feeling of losing her own fortune!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, she only gets to taste the feeling of losing her fortune once now, which is already letting her off easy!\u003C\u002Fp>",1312,"2026-06-17T16:51:27.253Z","2026-06-18T03:30:09.135Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","691dad6ab412831a0600537b441a030cb7e56c923d218f928e2a7cdce1b1396d","the-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-313","the-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-311",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-dragon-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
