Chapter 845: Chapter 0845: Challenge Letter
Originally, Ye Xunhuan planned to go find He Sichan for a romantic interlude. However, upon arriving at He Sichan’s residence, he discovered she wasn’t home!
Feeling annoyed, Ye Xunhuan chatted with Xiao Jiu for a bit and then headed straight back to the Emperor Map Corporation!
Perhaps because the Qin family and the Su family from Su Hang intervened, the charges Lin Zhennan planted on Qiu Ruoxi’s head instantly crumbled. Moreover, with Pei Ximing being killed by Ye Xunhuan, even if someone else wanted to stir up trouble, they wouldn’t be effective.
Additionally, with Dongfang Shu and Jiang Wenhao covertly providing support, the stocks of Emperor Map Corporation stabilized completely. Now, Qiu Ruoxi only needs to take care of the fire Antonio set in the Emperor Map Corporation and the filming of the movie.
Therefore, overall, the Emperor Map Corporation has safely overcome a crisis this time.
However, Olivia works quite swiftly. The team she found for Qiu Ruoxi arrived in Jiang city today, and Qiu Ruoxi also sent someone to meet them.
But of all these things, Ye Xunhuan was unaware and did not concern himself with them. He believed that Qiu Ruoxi would definitely handle things properly; if not, he would take action himself.
He didn’t believe that throwing money at the problem wouldn’t save Emperor Map Corporation.
After returning to his own office, Ye Xunhuan directly started on his gaming life today; however, the good times didn’t last long—his office desk phone began to ring.
Upon hearing the ringtone, Ye Xunhuan first tossed aside the game; it was a single-player game anyway, no harm to others!
"Hello..."
"Mr. Ye, there is an old man downstairs claiming to be Yuan Ming, saying he has an appointment with you..."
Upon hearing this pleasant voice, Ye Xunhuan knew this was a call from the receptionist. But who is Yuan Ming? He seemed not to recognize the name at all!
"Must be the wrong person!"
"Mr. Ye, he says you are very familiar, even considers you a confidant, and his junior just interacted with you a couple of days ago..."
Ye Xunhuan’s eyebrows slightly furrowed. His junior interacted with him?
"Right, he says he’s very familiar with Lin Zhennan..."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xunhuan’s expression changed slightly: "I remember now, please let him come up!"
Ye Xunhuan wasn’t a fool; if he couldn’t guess that Yuan Ming was from Shu Mountain, then he might as well be dead.
But what purpose would someone from Shu Mountain have to seek him out?
This left Ye Xunhuan utterly baffled.
It wasn’t long before Yuan Ming was brought into Ye Xunhuan’s office.
After bringing Yuan Ming into Ye Xunhuan’s office, the young woman dressed in an OL professional suit courteously retreated.
Once the young woman had left, Ye Xunhuan’s gaze began to sweep back and forth over Yuan Ming.
Yuan Ming appeared somewhat aged, with a full head of silver hair, but his complexion was rosy and devoid of the age spots common in elderly folks, giving him an overall youthful appearance.
While Ye Xunhuan was sizing up Yuan Ming, Yuan Ming was also assessing Ye Xunhuan.
"Are you from Shu Mountain?"
"Is Mr. Ye going to let me stand here and talk?"
"Please sit!"
Ye Xunhuan gestured towards the sofa in the adjacent parlor.
Yuan Ming moved to the sofa, sat down slowly, and then immediately said to Ye Xunhuan: "You guessed right, I am from Shu Mountain. Those you killed, Ku Rong, Ku Mu, Lin Zhennan, they were all my disciples’ juniors!"
Seeing Yuan Ming so forthright, Ye Xunhuan also didn’t beat around the bush and directly asked, "So, you’ve come to seek revenge on me?"
"Indeed, I am here for revenge, but before I met you, I encountered someone else!"
"May I know who you met?"
"The Dragon Head of Hidden Dragon!"
Ye Xunhuan slightly furrowed his eyebrows, then relaxed and said, "That’s truly unexpected, the Dragon Head actually sought you out. Did he want to join forces with you against me?"
"Mr. Ye, do you think that’s possible?" Yuan Ming said softly, "You are one of the top ten overlords of the underworld, commanding a vast underground empire. If Hidden Dragon were to confront you, it would mean a fight to the death with one of the strongest organizations in the underworld. Do you think that’s likely?"
Yuan Ming knew about Ye Xunhuan’s identity, and Ye Xunhuan wasn’t too surprised. After all, Shu Mountain is an ancient martial arts sect that has been passed down for a thousand years.
If they investigated, they would certainly find out.
After all, his being a marshal is not exactly a well-kept secret; many people know about it!
"Then what did he want with you?" 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝖕𝖚𝖇.𝖈𝔬𝔪
"He warned me not to act against you, or else he would kill me!" Yuan Ming said indifferently, "I never imagined that the marshal would hold such an important position within Hidden Dragon..."
"Since they’ve warned you, and you still came here, isn’t it still for revenge?"
"I indeed wish not to seek revenge, but if I just stay silent, it would inevitably make others think that Shu Mountain is too afraid of you to take any action!"
"So, you’ve come to seek revenge today!"
"Yes!" Yuan Ming nodded, admitting straightforwardly, "I’ve thought it over and cannot simply leave in such a disgraceful manner, so I came to find you!"
"Mr. Ye, I understand Hidden Dragon’s concerns, and I know you are indeed not easy to provoke. Therefore, I wish to have a fair duel with you for revenge!"
Yuan Ming expressed his intentions to Ye Xunhuan!
"If you lose, you die!" Yuan Ming’s voice suddenly changed: "If I lose, I will immediately retreat to Shu Mountain and from this day forward, we at Shu Mountain will cease to seek revenge. How does that sound?"
"Not good!"
Yuan Ming’s face turned stern: "Mr. Ye, what do you mean by this?"
"If I lose, I die, but if you lose, you return to Shu Mountain. Don’t you think I’m at a great disadvantage?" Ye Xunhuan pulled out a cigarette from his body, lit it for himself, and took a gentle drag, "If you lose, you would also have to die. Anyone who raises a hand against me won’t be shown mercy!"
"Fine!" Yuan Ming said forcefully, "As long as you have the ability to kill me, ensuring I cannot escape, then I accept death!"
"If you try to escape, we certainly won’t just let it go!"
"I never thought you would!" Ye Xunhuan said nonchalantly, "Then when do you want to have this duel with me?"
"That depends on when Mr. Ye has time!"
"Anytime!"
"Then let’s meet at the dock at 9:15 tonight, and have a fair duel!" Yuan Ming set the time and place directly.
"No problem, I’ll definitely be there at 9:15," Ye Xunhuan exhaled a thick puff of smoke and slowly said, "Just make sure your people from Shu Mountain don’t shamelessly attack my wife while I’m dueling with you."
"Could it be that Mr. Ye really thinks our Shu Mountain would stoop to such contemptible villainy?"
"The human heart is inscrutable; who can say for sure?" Ye Xunhuan said languidly and comfortably leaning back in his chair, "And haven’t you seen on TV, reputable sects like doing unspeakable deeds behind the scenes!"
