Chapter 650: Clearing Obstacles

"I have invited a Martial Arts Expert, someone from a reclusive Martial Arts Family who recently broke through to the Martial Ancestor Realm. Within three days, I will surely have that brat's head on the ground," Ye Jingwu said calmly with his eyes closed.

"That brat is indeed a major obstacle, and Ye Qingning's methods are not simple either," Zhou Wanyun said with furrowed brows. "When your older brother was alive, he joined the military and had no intention of vying for power with you. Plus, with the old man sick, I originally thought the Ye Clan would be yours for the taking."

"But I didn't expect Ye Qingning to be so troublesome. At the critical moment, you must not be soft-hearted," Zhou Wanyun said.

"Rest assured, I know what I'm doing. Chen Yu must die, but Qing Ning is my niece; I cannot bring myself to deal a lethal blow," Ye Jingwu's brows furrowed. He understood what Zhou Wanyun meant.

"Now is not the time for you to play the saint," Zhou Wanyun said, somewhat angrily. "The Ye Family siblings are not pushovers. You are concerned about family ties, but they may not be. If you are soft-hearted, it will be too late to regret it when the time comes."

Ye Jingwu was startled, and for a moment, he fell into Silence.

Chen Yu received a call from Huang Shaoming, who said he wanted to treat Chen Yu to dinner that evening, and Chen Yu agreed.

In the evening, Huang Shaoming and Jiang Wei arrived as promised.

Since these two wealthy young masters were hosting, the place they chose was certainly no ordinary spot.

The famous Haitian Shenghao Hotel in Shengjing—the service and class are not the most important things; what matters is that they have national-level master chefs here, and the ingredients are special-supply grade. Anything you eat here is something only a Head of State could afford to eat.

Precisely because of such high-end prestige, it is extremely difficult to get a meal here. Ordinary people would likely have to book half a year in advance, and even then, it is not guaranteed.

Of course, given the status of those two young masters, coming here for a meal is like a home-cooked dinner; they don't need to book, as a single phone call can get it done.

After confirming their identities with the greeter, the greeter enthusiastically led Chen Yu to the exclusive elevator.

The private room booked by the two young masters was the top-tier Haitian No. 1 Private Room. It is said that this room is where high-level leaders receive foreign guests, and ordinary people simply cannot book it.

The decor inside the room goes without saying; it uses the most top-tier materials, and the level of luxury is no less than an imperial palace.

"Mr. Chen, Young Master Huang and Young Master Jiang are already on their way. Please wait here for a moment. If you have any needs, please call me at any time," the greeter bowed slightly to Chen Yu and retreated.

Chen Yu poured a glass of water and had just begun to marvel at this most high-end restaurant in Shengjing when the door suddenly opened and two women walked in.

"Wow, Jingjing, this place is really too high-end. Your boyfriend is truly amazing. I heard this room has hosted foreign Heads of State," the girl in front looked like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

The girl in front was none other than Li Lu, the girlfriend of Zhang Hu, whom he had seen the previous night.

And the arrogant girl following behind her was Chen Jing, the best friend Li Lu always talked about.

"That goes without saying. My baby's family company has a market value of over ten billion, and his background is heaven-reaching. Looking across Shengjing, there aren't many companies that can compare to yours," Chen Jing said triumphantly, looking proud.

"I really envy you for finding such a good boyfriend. If my Zhang Hu were even one-tenth as good as your Sun Qiang, it would be enough," Li Lu did not hide the look of envy on her face.

"Li Lu, what are you after with Zhang Hu? Just find anyone else, wouldn't they be better than him? Eh, why is there someone in this room?" Before Chen Jing finished speaking, she saw Chen Yu sitting to one side, and her expression could not help but freeze slightly.

"It's you?" Li Lu's expression changed instantly upon seeing Chen Yu. She shouted, "Why are you here?"

"That is exactly what I wanted to ask. Why are you here?" Chen Yu was somewhat baffled.

Logically, Huang Shaoming and Jiang Wei would not know a woman like Li Lu, and they certainly wouldn't invite irrelevant people when treating him to dinner. What were these two women doing here?

"I'm asking you, what are you doing here? Do you know what kind of place this is?" Li Lu looked at Chen Yu aggressively.

"I know, the Haitian Hotel, right? Is there a problem?" Chen Yu retorted.

"Since you know what kind of place this is, why don't you get out quickly? Is this a place you should be?" Li Lu looked fierce. "This hotel is the most high-end hotel in Shengjing. How could you be here?"

"I know, so what? Aren't you here too?" Chen Yu sneered.

"I am here because my best friend's boyfriend has a deep background and wide connections, and this room is where big shots receive foreign guests. If you have money but no connections, you can't book it," Li Lu shouted.

"Lulu, who is this?" Chen Jing, on the side, glanced at Chen Yu. Seeing that Chen Yu was dressed plainly, she did not take him seriously.

"That cousin of Zhang Hu's from the countryside. He might have a little money—he threw out a hundred million at once—and just because of that, he thinks he's something special," Li Lu said with disdain.

"A hundred million?" Chen Jing looked at Chen Yu in surprise and said, "Just him?"

"Yes, he has some means, but he's far worse than your boyfriend," Li Lu said dismissively.

"Heh heh, he is indeed far worse," Chen Jing laughed. "Don't look at what place this is? This is Shengjing. People with a net worth of a hundred million are a dime a dozen. Besides, my boyfriend Sun Qiang's family company is a listed company with a market value of over ten billion."

"Chen Yu, why haven't you left yet? This room was booked by my best friend's boyfriend, Sun Qiang. Why are you lingering here? Do you believe I'll call security to throw you out in a moment?" Seeing Chen Yu still sitting there unmoved, Li Lu could not help but get angry.

"Then go ahead and call someone to throw me out," Chen Yu smiled. The anger in his heart had already flared up. This woman was truly shameless; she really thought of herself as someone important.

"Someone, come here! Where is the waiter?" Li Lu shouted.

"Hello, Miss. May I ask what the matter is?" The waiter hurried in.

"What is wrong with you waiters? How can you let just anyone into this private room? Hurry up and throw him out. Disinfect the chair he sat on for me immediately," Li Lu said angrily.

"I am truly sorry, this is Mr. Chen. The private room he and his friends booked is indeed this one," the waiter looked at Chen Yu and said apologetically.

"How is that possible?" Chen Jing, on the side, was furious. "This room was clearly booked by my boyfriend. He is treating me and my friend to dinner here tonight. When did he invite someone surnamed Chen?"

"I am truly sorry, the booking information is indeed for Mr. Chen and his friends," the waiter checked the list again and said apologetically.

"This is impossible. Call your manager over here and clear up what is going on for me," Chen Jing said angrily.

"I am truly sorry, our manager is not available to come out. Please call your friend to confirm," the waiter said politely.
