Chapter 84: Master Wang Is Asking For More Money
Ye Qichen was excited to come back. However, when he discovered that Qiao Nian had left, it was as though the energy left him.
“Sister left?”
Ye Wangchuan put down the stuff. He then checked on the messages on his phone and said, “Let’s go, she messaged that she’s heading back for class.”
“Oh.”
Ye Wangchuan noticed the disappointed look on his face and smiled. He patted him on the head and said nonchalantly, “If you’re obedient today, I will bring you along to fetch her after school.”
“Is that true?” He immediately raised his head.
Ye Wangchuan was in a good mood as he put his phone away. He looked at him thoughtfully and answered, “You must be obedient, then.”
If he behaved, he would definitely consider bringing him along.
Gu San entered the room and saw that they were talking. He then noticed that Qiao Nian wasn’t around and asked, “Master Wang, is Miss Qiao at school? Why is she not here?”
“Mm.”
Gu San breathed a sigh of relief. Thank god Miss Qiao wasn’t here. He could freely speak about some stuff now.
He leaned towards Ye Wangchuan and whispered, “Master Wang, someone is looking for a rare material at a high price on the black market.”
They had a monopoly on this material within the country. Even though it may not look like much, this material was applicable for aerospace materials and high-tech weapons. Hence, having control over this material meant controlling other things as well.
This was only possible if you had enough power.
“Who is it?” Ye Wangchuan asked, frowning. His eyes were deep, and no one could tell what was going on in his mind.
“Someone from the Red Alliance.”
Gu San answered, “They were never involved in such things before, why are they suddenly interested in this now? They even offered to exchange this with intelligence on top of money.”
As the Red Alliance worked for both sides of the law, they had access to a lot of classified information. They were even famous internationally.
“Master Wang, should we give it to them?”
Ye Wangchuan lifted his hands. His arms were beautiful and he had shiny skin. They were just the right size with slender fingers. His nails were neatly trimmed.
He answered after a while, “Tell them to add more money to their offer.”
Gu San was speechless.
You’re not lacking in money in any way.
Even though he thought about that, he answered obediently, “Alright.”
Ye Wangchuan looked at Ye Qichen, who went to get a stool to cut some fruits for him in an attempt to get into his good books. He then asked, “Have you found the doctor I asked you about?”
Gu San lowered his head in guilt and answered softly. “This Miracle Doctor... He comes and goes anytime he wants. I can’t find him at all. Master Wang, could it be that he doesn’t exist? Otherwise, why am I unable to find him?”
“The black market is selling his medicine. He must exist. It’s just that he’s good at hiding.
“Keep searching.”
Gu San answered. Suddenly, he thought of something and asked, “Master Wang, Miss Qiao knows how to perform surgery, right? Should we let her take a look at Little Young Master?”
He wanted to laugh at what he just said. Qiao Nian was surrounded by so many surgeons that day, so she might have just been lucky. The Little Young Master was too precious in the eyes of Old Master Ye. Who would dare to be responsible if anything went wrong?
He touched his nose and continued, “Nevermind, I’ll continue my search.”
...
When school was over, Qiao Nian received a message, with just two words: [More money.]
Her eyes widened in shock. She was so angry that she laughed.
She offered a billion yuan. Yet, they asked for more. Such greed!
She put her phone back into her bag. Suddenly, a Bentley stopped in front of her. The door opened and a butler alighted from the car. He walked in front of her and blocked her path.
