"Hehe, old man, it's been almost 10 years since we last met, hasn't it?"

"Yes, it's been about 10 years. Moreover, during these years, I knew you were living well, so I never had the heart to disturb you."

"Old man, it's my fault, I should have visited earlier, to properly thank you for saving my life back then."

"Nonsense, it's not you who should thank me, but I who should thank you. If it weren't for your support back then, I might not have been able to hold on until today."

"Alright, old man, we'll cut the long story short—we're indeed facing some difficulties now. We've looked through big and small hospitals and haven't managed to find those people. At that time, Ye Chen really gave them a beating."

"Hehe, I'm somewhat aware of this matter. Ye Chen is truly an extraordinary man, dealing with so many people lying on the ground. Honestly, I haven't seen anything like this in many years."

"Are you saying you already know about this?"

"Of course, did you think this could be kept from my eyes? I'm telling you, even if they needed medical attention, they wouldn't go to those hospitals—so they must have their own way."

"What do you mean by their own way?"

"Let me put it this way, in the Martial Arts World, they have a secret Underground Hospital. This hospital doesn't treat just anybody, only their own people. You could say it's an exclusive hospital for them."

"What? There's an exclusive hospital? And where is it now?"

"I've already arranged for someone to look into it, and this person will soon meet with you at the hotel. You can discuss it when you meet. Besides, has this matter alarmed foreign forces yet?"

"Yes, right now, I'm suspecting this might alarm foreign powers, and when the time comes, both Ye Chen's and my capabilities combined might not be enough to deal with it all."

"That's exactly what I'm worried about. If indeed so many things are connected, we won't be able to handle this at all. How about this, I'll hurry and arrange things on this end, and try to make it to Jiangzhou City before tonight. We'll meet then."

"You mean, you, yourself, are coming here?"

Li Fu felt truly astonished upon hearing this.

He didn't expect that even Guo Tao had been alarmed by this matter. If so, he believed things should be much easier to handle.

"At this point, if I don't step in, am I supposed to just watch you guys being bullied by these damn dogs? But even if I go, I'm not sure how things will end up. For now, let's play it by ear."

"If you personally intervene, then this matter is sure to be resolved well."

"Hehe, don't think too highly of me. I'm old now and not the same as before. Although I cannot stir up any big waves, I definitely will not allow these people to bully you. Wait for me, I'll make arrangements immediately."

"Okay, I'll wait here for your arrival, elder. Besides, is there anything else we need to do now?"

"Probe the enemy's forces. After my person arrives, they should provide you with an address. Then you can go and test the situation. Other than that, don't do anything else. Wait for me to get there and we'll talk."

"Alright, I know, I'll wait right here. You can rest assured, elder."

"Good, see you tonight."

"Good, see you tonight."

After finishing the conversation, Li Fu handed the phone back to Guo Hongyu.

"Grandpa is coming?"

Guo Hongyu seemed to have already sensed everything.

"Yes, he should arrive tonight."

"I didn't expect this matter to be such a hassle. It's all my fault; if I hadn't been so careless then, we wouldn't have lost the item, and none of this would have happened."

As Guo Hongyu spoke, there was still a hint of self-blame.

"You can't blame yourself. If they wanted it, no matter how careful you were, you probably couldn't have avoided this, so no need for self-reproach."

Ye Chen stood up and walked over, saying this by Guo Hongyu's side.

Guo Hongyu just looked up and was about to speak when the doorbell rang.

He stood up and walked over to open the room door.

"Uncle Ada, what are you doing here?"

Ye Chen saw the new arrival was a man with long hair, and from a distance, he emitted the air of an artist.

"Hehe, if I didn't come, your grandfather would be worried sick. How did it go? Have you been searching all night and still haven't found those people?" The latest chapters are always available first on *.

The person called Ada said this as he walked straight in.

He stood in the middle of the living room, looked up at Li Fu, who promptly stood up and approached.

"Hehe, I was wondering who it could be—isn't this sharp-ears, Ada?"

"Old man, you're not dead yet?"

"How can I die when you're still alive?"

After both had their say, they burst out laughing.

However, Ye Chen could tell their relationship was not ordinary.

"Uncle Ada, you know Mr. Li?"

"More than just know him; enough of that, are you Ye Chen?"

While speaking, Ada shifted his gaze to Ye Chen.

Frankly, being stared at like that, Ye Chen felt quite uncomfortable.

"Yes, that's me, Ye Chen. May I ask who you are?"

Ye Chen was quite respectful in front of this person because he could tell he had a very good relationship with Mr. Li. If so, strictly speaking, he could be considered a predecessor to himself.

Moreover, seeing his current age, he was probably much older than Ye Chen.

Ada simply nodded, then stepped forward and gave Ye Chen's shoulder a firm slap.

"Good lad, with such a sturdy frame. Your grandfather mentioned before that this Ye Chen is not simple—seems he really opened my eyes."

"Hehe, senior, I think you're praising me a bit too much."
