Three days later, at noon, Ye Chen's bank card suddenly received transfers from hundreds of accounts, totaling 3 billion Ruanmei coins! This was the money he had accumulated over the years on the Black Continent through killing and stealing. Originally, there had been 3.5 billion Ruanmei coins, but the rest had been taken by middlemen.
"Brother, let's go!" Ye Chen exclaimed. "I'll take you out for a nice meal!" After returning to the wall-mounted room, he took Xiao Han directly to a nearby shopping mall. It had been almost a month since he returned to Kyushu, and during this time, he had felt extremely frustrated due to his lackof money. After all, money is paramount in this society. Without it, no matter where you go, you won't be respected.
The two of them looked like nouveau riche, buying whatever was expensive. They each put together a set of Armani suits, held Patek Philippe watches worth hundreds of thousands in their hands, and donned big gold chains around their necks, eager for everyone to know they were rich.
"Brother, it's nice to have money!" Xiao Han said, feeling the envious and respectful glances from passersby. At that moment, his desire for wealth reached its peak. No matter how good one's martial arts were, they were useless without money. If you didn't have money, no one would respectyou.
"Don't worry, we'll always live like this in the future." Ye Chen smiled lightly, having different thoughts about Xiao Han's naiveté. Initially, he kept Xiao Han close to help him deal with Jiang Che, but now he saw potential in Xiao Han. Although he was three years younger, his cultivation was only a small realm lower than Ye Chen's. Given time, a breakthrough was certain. The thought of having a Huajin warrior as a younger brother was quite appealing!
"Really?" Xiao Han asked, a hint of skepticism in his voice. It had only been a few days since he entered the world of wealth, and he truly had no understanding of money. In his perception, money wouldalways run out eventually.
"Of course! Just wait until Jiang Che is resolved. I'll start a company and let you be the president." As the two left the shopping mall chatting and laughing, they returned to the wall-mounted room to pack their bags. Ye Chen then took Xiao Han directly to a luxury villa area in Jiangbei City, spending another 300 million Ruanmei coins to secure a villa.
It wasn't until the afternoon that he returned to Bai Huamei's bar. The waiter at the door saw Ye Chen coming and greeted him directly.
"Is your boss in?" Ye Chen asked nonchalantly, not even glancing at the waiter.
"Our boss is in the box on the third floor right now," the waiter replied with a smile, unfazed. Seeing Ye Chen's nouveau riche attire, he knew that the man was a wealthy patron. Such rich individuals were not something a low-level commoner like him could provoke.
"Take me to see her."
"Right this way..." The waiter led Ye Chen directly to the supreme box on the third floor. Bai Huamei had been waiting inside for a long time. Ye Chen knocked on the door and walked in after receiving Bai Huamei's consent.
"Mr. Ye, we meet again," Bai Huamei said with a seductive smile, showcasing hercharm.
"Miss Bai, I'm here today to buy some information," Ye Chen replied, casually closing the door and maintaining a faint smile.
"You can tell Mr. Ye the news, but I have a request."
"Any request?" Ye Chen frowned slightly, feeling a bit displeased. He hadn't expected this woman to change her mind on a whim. During their last meeting, Bai Huamei hadn't mentioned any requests.
"I want 100 million Ruanmei coins in cash..." Bai Huamei picked up the red wine in her goblet, took a sip, and said calmly. She had her own considerations in making thisrequest. Human nature is greedy, and she didn't want to pass up the 100 million that was being offered. But Jiang Che had informed her that he would alert the police about the situation. Once the transaction occurred, the police would be dispatched. Ye Chen was unwittingly placing himself in a deadlock. If she accepted Ye Chen's transfer via bank card, she would have no way to explain herself. However, if there were no bank transactions between them, she could claim that she had alerted Ye Chen to help the police report the situation, allowing her to extricate herself from any implications. Not only would she receive money, but she would also clear her name.
"Why did you suddenly change your mind?"Ye Chen narrowed his eyes, regarding the woman in front of him with caution. His intuition told him this matter was not as simple as it appeared. The sudden change in her attitude hinted that something must have happened, but he couldn't figure it out just yet.
"Mr. Ye is worrying too much..." Bai Huamei said with a smirk. "You know, I'm not clean at all. If such a large sum suddenly appears in my account, people will definitely track it down. If that happens, you may find yourself implicated."
Ye Chen thought about it carefully and realized what she said made sense. He was eager to learn more about the smuggler, so he agreed without giving it much thought.
"Then wait for me for a while; I'm going to the bank now."
