  The Twenty-Fifth Chapter: Prey Appears

  As for Tang Bu Yi, Ye Qiu had always held an attitude of admiration towards him.

  He lost his partner at a young age, and it's unclear whether it was due to being busy with work or fear of his daughter being wronged. He has always maintained the identity of a diamond bachelor. With his status and wealth, there are naturally many women around him, but he has rejected them all. Instead, the Tang Group's business has grown bigger and bigger, like a snowball, achieving today's dazzling commercial aircraft carrier.

  All along his style has been very upright, how can there be a woman with an intimate relationship suddenly appearing by his side?

  This idea flashed through her mind, but Ye Qiu didn't dwell on it. Tang Bu Yi was a man after all, and there were some things that needed to be taken care of. Having a girlfriend in private wasn't anything strange.

  Since that's the case, Ye Qiu didn't need to go forward and greet him either. Moreover, he was currently monitoring Jin Haili, if at this time he ran out to contact Tang Bu Yi, it would fall into the eyes of those with ill intentions and be unfavorable for Tang Bu Yi.

  As Ye Qiu hesitated, Tang Bu Yi had already walked by with his female companion. He didn't notice Ye Qiu behind the transparent glass window.

  The latte on the table was finished again, but still no sign of Jin Haili. Just as Ye Qiu was about to signal for another cup, the waiter brought over a cup of coffee and placed it in front of Ye Qiu at exactly the right moment, and the coffee happened to be the same latte that Ye Qiu had just finished drinking two cups of.

  Ye Qiu looked up in confusion, and the waitress in a black suit handed him a note from under her tray with a ambiguous gaze. On it was written in elegant small characters: "The way you drink coffee is desolate and sorrowful. Don't furrow your brow over mundane things, there are still many things worth looking forward to in life."

  Furrowing her brow? Ye Qiuxia couldn't help but touch her own face, perhaps she was too engrossed in thinking about Tang Bu Yi just now.

  "Pfft"

  Someone chuckled softly, and Ye Qiu turned his face to see two girls looking over from the opposite side. One girl with wavy hair was covering her mouth and giggling, possibly amused by Ye Qiu's unconscious expression earlier. The other girl had long hair scattered on her shoulders like clear broth noodles, also dyed a burgundy color like Tang Guo, giving off a clever and fashionable vibe. She too was sneaking glances at Ye Qiu, but with a hint of shyness on her face, not as carefree as the girl beside her.

  Both women were wearing light-colored professional suits, with white blouses and pale pink stockings on their legs, dressed in office attire. This area belongs to the financial district of Yanjing, where many foreign companies and large commercial companies are located, so it is possible that they belong to one of these companies and have come out to relax during their free time.

  They want to hit on me? This was Ye Qiuxin's first thought.

  Indeed, Ye Qiu suddenly changed into a high-end outfit, paired with that elegant face, and indeed had great destructive power. Moreover, due to the reason of the Soul Devouring Ring, his body was always shrouded in an aura of evil that was hard to detect. This kind of thing, unintentionally revealed, was poisonous to women.

  Romantic encounter. Within three days of Ye Qiu's arrival in Yanjing, he had a romantic encounter, which made him, who was always confident and self-assured, somewhat surprised. Perhaps it was because earlier he sat by the window with his eyes fixed intently on the outside, making them think he was a very serious man.

  Isn't there a saying that a serious man is the most handsome?

  Since I've already pretended to be profound, I might as well pretend all the way. Ye Qiu tried very hard to think of a line from Rumi's poetry or Hegel's philosophy that would match the current atmosphere and respond accordingly.

  Before the result came out, a black Audi drove out of the garage of Jinhai Building across the street, followed by a second black Mercedes-Benz. The special license plate "Yan 111666" in front made Ye Qiu's heart skip a beat, and the prey finally appeared.

  Ye Qiu took up his pen and wrote "destined to meet again" on a note, then signaled the waiter to give it to the two women. After settling his own bill and theirs, he hastily left.

  "What does he mean? I'm doing him a favor by appreciating him, and yet he runs away as if he's seen a dinosaur! Am I being too obvious?" A girl's angry voice came from behind, but Ye Qiu was no longer in the mood to bother with her.

  He hailed a taxi and instructed the driver to follow the Jin Hai Li's motorcade. This man was cautious, having offended many people in his daily life, so he was also very careful when going out. With an Audi escorting him from both front and back, ordinary people couldn't touch him.

  The taxi driver was a middle-aged man with a rugged appearance, but he had a very small heart. When he heard that Ye Qiu asked him to follow the cars in front, he chickened out. Without guessing, it was clear that the people in those cars were either rich or powerful, and such people were not ones he could afford to mess with. If they discovered him, being beaten up would be a light punishment; if his car got smashed, how would he explain it to the company?

  Ye Qiu didn't wait for him to speak and took out a stack of money from his pocket, placing it on the steering wheel. "Just follow from afar, there won't be any danger."

  The driver looked at the stack of money, swallowed his saliva, and ultimately didn't say a word to ask Ye Qiu to get off the bus.

  Jin Haili closed his eyes and lay on the soft recliner, but his mind was not calm. The Jin Hai Group has developed to date, and has entered a high-speed expansion bottleneck. Yanjing's land is not much, but there are many real estate companies with background, and a piece of land that is slightly larger than others will have multiple companies competing fiercely.

  This time the government suddenly took out 300 mu of land in Langshan for development, which is a rare big move in recent years. Land is a non-renewable resource and will only become less and less. Jin Haili urgently needs to get this land into his hands. At least it can allow his company to buffer for two or three years, and after establishing good relations with the local government, it's not too late to expand outward.

  But this time, the biggest competitor turned out to be Greentown China, a subsidiary of the Tang family group. In terms of background, company strength, and operational experience, he really didn't have the confidence to defeat the Tangs.

  "We must win." These few words were almost squeezed out of Jin Lihai's mouth, and at this time, the expression on his face also became gloomy.

  Suddenly, the phone of Qian Secretary sitting in the deputy driver's room rang. After Qian Secretary answered the phone calmly, he turned his head to Jin Lihai and said: "Boss, the brothers behind found someone following us."

  Jin Li Hai's expression changed, and he said with a gloomy face: "Let them not disturb the snake in the grass. Temporarily do not go to see the guest. Go to Jin Xiu."

  "Yes, boss." Secretary Qian replied expressionlessly and dialed the bodyguard's phone behind him.
