CHAPTER 454: CHAPTER 454: NO NEED TO ACT

He quickly found the location of the villa where Yang Wenyu was staying.

After arriving here, he simply pressed the doorbell.

"Coming, coming, who is it?"

At this moment, the voice of a middle-aged woman came through, and eventually, the door was only cracked open a sliver.

The woman looked outside and saw Ye Chen, but no one else.

"Sir, may I ask whom you are looking for?"

"Please tell Mr. Yang that my name is Ye Chen, and I’ve come for a personal visit tonight."

"Ye Chen? Have you arranged a meeting with Mr. Yang before?"

"Well, that I haven’t, but you tell Mr. Yang that I’m currently holding the Yuan Qinghua that he desires the most. So, if he is willing to meet me, then all can be negotiated."

"Oh, okay, I understand. Please wait a moment, okay?"

With those words, the door was promptly closed again.

He knew that Yang Wenyu was a very cautious person and would definitely not easily fall into his trap,

so he had to proceed step by step with anything, and naturally, he wouldn’t say too much about the rest.

At this time, Yang Wenyu was at home waiting for news, and the people from Scorpion Gang were also dispatched by him.

He originally thought that privately finding Ye Chen and negotiating with him, the auction item he intended to bid one billion for could be smoothly obtained by offering the same price.

But unexpectedly, Ye Chen was so uncooperative.

Therefore, Yang Wenyu had made preparations in advance. While arranging for the entry, he also had the Scorpion Gang infiltrate the auction with the intention of acquiring everything.

However, things did not go as planned; he never imagined that the person who got the Yuan Qinghua would be someone with such significant clout. In that case, with his current status in Jiangzhou, he couldn’t touch this person at all.

So, he could only create a diversion, first seizing an unknown Jade Ring, after which Lin Yaru would be his real target for attack.

Yang Wenyu was aware that Lin Yaru was Ye Chen’s employer, so nothing could happen to Lin Yaru. If something did occur, it would be difficult to explain to both Ye Chen and his superiors.

One could say he had Ye Chen thoroughly in his grip.

"Sir, someone outside claims to be Ye Chen, and he says he has a Yuan Qinghua which you most desire. Do you still need to see him?"

When the butler came in and reported this, Yang Wenyu immediately stood up from his seat.

"What did you say? Ye Chen has come here now?"

He felt surprised, as the Scorpion Gang had taken Lin Yaru not to the vicinity of his villa but to a secluded factory where they hid her.

He had previously said he would not appear so easily, but Yang Wenyu had never anticipated that Ye Chen would lock onto everything so quickly, and he believed that Ye Chen must understand this reasoning.

"Yes, he’s waiting at the door. Sir, if it’s not appropriate, I can send him away."

"Send him away? Do you really think Ye Chen is someone who can be easily dismissed? Let me tell you, he is no simple man. If he comes here, even if we refuse to let him in, he has 10,000 ways to get through. Alright, since it’s like this, we should at least meet. Go, please invite him in."

"Okay, I understand, sir."

After finishing speaking, the butler quickly left.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yang Wenyu hurriedly took out his phone and dialed a familiar number.

"What’s going on? How did this guy find my house?"

"What? Young Master, he came to the house? That’s impossible, we haven’t even agreed on a location for the trade yet."

"He’s already come by now, and he says he has the Yuan Qinghua. I suspect there’s something fishy, so hurry and send people over to the villa. If something happens, no matter what, you must rescue me, understand?"

"Got it, young master, we’ll arrange it immediately."

After the conversation, the other party hung up.

With the Scorpion Gang’s members positioned around to protect him, Yang Wenyu felt a bit more at ease.

In a very short time, Yang Wenyu then saw a young man confidently walking in, holding a large box in his hands.

"Hehe, I wondered who it could be. Isn’t this Mr. Ye Chen? We just met recently, and now you’ve suddenly come again. Please, have a seat."

Upon seeing Ye Chen, Yang Wenyu’s demeanor was very natural, as if none of the past events had ever happened.

The situation was like they had not seen each other for a long time, and now they were just greeting each other as old friends.

After hearing this, Ye Chen just smiled. He just felt that Yang Wenyu, this despicable person, was being overly courteous.

At this moment, everything should be nothing more than a façade.

He feared what Yang Wenyu really wanted was his life. If he had not discovered in time, once the brakes failed, both he and Lin Yaru would likely have died on the spot.

Therefore, for such a hypocrite, Ye Chen felt there was no need to continue the pretense.

"Enough, neither of us are fools, and you know what you’ve done. You want the Yuan Qinghua, right? Now, I’ve brought it to you. Tell me, where is she? And the Jade Ring? Give me everything."

When Ye Chen said this, Yang Wenyu was taken aback suddenly.

He hadn’t expected Ye Chen to be so straightforward and didn’t give him any chance to catch his breath.

"Mr. Ye Chen, what are you talking about? I have no clue what you want to do, and as soon as you came here, you’re demanding people and a Jade Ring. How would I know anything about that?"
