Martial Arts Master in the City

Chapter 420 Ungrateful Wretch


"Lawyer Bai, bring out the contract!" Zhang Liujuan said to the fuming Bai Yanliang by her side!

Bai Yanliang did feel a bit angry when he heard Zhang Liujuan's words, but thinking of the advantages Zhang Liujuan had promised him cooled his temper somewhat.

Bai Yanliang took out two copies of the contract from his briefcase. These were official contracts; once signed, each party would have their own copy.

Ye Xiao took the two contracts in hand and then, smiling, said to Zhang Liujuan and Bai Yanliang, "Aunt Zhang, Lawyer Bai, don't rush, let's first take a look at the contract. Please, take a seat and rest!"

At this moment, Ye Xiao acted as if he and Zhang Liujuan and Bai Yanliang had been good friends for many years, which made them quite uncomfortable. Zhang Liujuan and Bai Yanliang exchanged glances, hesitated for a moment, but eventually sat down.

Ye Xiao handed one of the contracts to Han Xuewei, and then began to read the contract quickly, scanning several lines at a time. Han Xuewei also started to read the contract.

Although Ye Xiao was confident, he still wished to examine the contract thoroughly and hoped there were no loopholes. Ye Xiao wasn't afraid to spend money, but he absolutely did not want to be cheated, because being cheated could reflect poorly on the cheater's morals, but also cast doubt on the intelligence of the victim!

Soon enough, Ye Xiao and Han Xuewei had gone over the contract thoroughly. Although Zhang Liujuan was not a good person, the contract was quite standard, and truly had no loopholes, which made Ye Xiao quite satisfied. Once signed, all the shares of Jianjun Real Estate possibly owed to Zhang Liujuan in the future would be transferred to Ye Xiao, while Zhang Liujuan would receive fifty million Yan Country Coins.

"Alright, we can sign now!" Ye Xiao said with a smile, looking at Zhang Liujuan!

Having spoken, Ye Xiao immediately picked up a pen and signed his name on both contracts.

After signing his name, Ye Xiao immediately handed the contract to Zhang Liujuan and said, "I've signed it, now it's your turn. Oh, by the way, do you have any seal paste?"

Zhang Liujuan looked at Ye Xiao with an unhappy expression on her face.

Seeing Zhang Liujuan's discontented look, Ye Xiao immediately asked, "What's the matter?"

"Do you expect me to sign without seeing the money?" Zhang Liujuan snapped. "Where's your money? You want to steal a march on me?" It dawned on her that Ye Xiao might be attempting a double-cross, even asking for seal paste, as if the contract was done with just his signature.

Hearing Zhang Liujuan's words, Ye Xiao slapped his forehead and chuckled, saying, "Look at that, my apologies. I do have the money—it's in the bank account! If you have a laptop with internet access right now, I can transfer the money immediately!"

Zhang Liujuan seemed to have anticipated this situation, turned to Bai Yanliang, and said, "Lawyer Bai!"

Bai Yanliang nodded immediately and headed out of the hospital room.

When Bai Yanliang had left the room, Han Xuewei turned to Zhang Liujuan and said, "Aunt Zhang, I must speak candidly with you."

Zhang Liujuan looked at Han Xuewei, clearly puzzled.

Han Xuewei continued, "Lawyer Bai is unreliable, and you should be aware of what kind of person he is. His name has already betrayed his character!"

Hearing Han Xuewei's words, Ye Xiao curiously looked at Han Xuewei and asked, "What's his name?"

"Bai Yanliang!"

"White-eyed wolf?" Ye Xiao misheard Han Xuewei and, with utmost seriousness and surprise, said, "Come on, how can that be someone's name? How can he be called 'white-eyed wolf'? That name is insanely cool!"

"It's Bai Yanliang!" Zhang Liujuan glared at Ye Xiao and corrected him.

Han Xuewei said, "You hear that? Bai Yanliang, it's a homophone for 'white-eyed wolf'. When my father was starting his business, Bai Yanliang betrayed the company that had nurtured him and became the legal advisor for Jianjun Real Estate. Now, just after my father's death, he promptly followed you. Should you fall out of favor one day, I bet Bai Yanliang will turn into a white-eyed wolf once again!"

Hearing Han Xuewei's words, Zhang Liujuan clearly had a moment of realization, but she said nothing, keeping her head down in silence.

It wasn't long before Bai Yanliang returned. His half-swollen face was a result of the slap Ye Xiao had just given him. However, when he came back, Ye Xiao looked at him with a grin, and then burst out laughing, which confused Bai Yanliang greatly. Obviously, he wouldn't know why Ye Xiao was laughing so heartily, and he certainly wouldn't realize how loud his nickname really was!

Ye Xiao took the laptop, held it in hand, quickly started it up, and soon connected to the internet. He logged into the Yan Country Bank's online transaction page, asked Zhang Liujuan for her bank account number, and then transferred fifty million to her in the blink of an eye!

In this highly advanced information society, online transfers have become a significant portion of bank transactions.

Just as Ye Xiao successfully transferred the money, Zhang Liujuan received a message on her phone. She instantly checked it and was surprised to discover an additional fifty million Yan Country Coins in her bank account!

Zhang Liujuan was very surprised that Ye Xiao transferred fifty million to her so promptly, but she buried that surprise deep in her heart.

"Can we sign now?" Ye Xiao looked at Zhang Liujuan.

Upon seeing that the transfer had been completed, Bai Yanliang immediately came up to Zhang Liujuan and whispered a few words to her.

Zhang Liujuan immediately turned to Ye Xiao, her face revealing a cold sneer.

However, before Zhang Liujuan could speak, Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "Let's sign. If we don't sign today, someone's going to get killed. For an ordinary person like me, fifty million is worth trading for my life!"

Ye Xiao's words were said with a laugh, yet when Zhang Liujuan heard them, she felt a chill down her spine. At this moment, she truly believed what Ye Xiao had said.

Zhang Liujuan let out a sigh, almost signing her name under the gentle threat posed by Ye Xiao.

"Seal paste!" Ye Xiao prompted.

"I didn't bring it!" Bai Yanliang responded.

Yet, from Ye Xiao's eyes, Zhang Liujuan could see the bloodthirsty nature within. Hearing Bai Yanliang's words, she immediately snapped, "Seal paste!"

Bai Yanliang was taken aback by Zhang Liujuan's demand, not expecting at all that she would actually call for the seal paste rather than refusing to sign or leaving it incomplete, as he had suggested.

Once the signature and handprint were affixed, the contract would be effective immediately.

"Miss Zhang!" Bai Yanliang looked at Zhang Liujuan.

Bai Yanliang had his own motives; if he could take the fifty million for himself, he would surely deserve some credit, and maybe he could get a larger share or even some stocks in Jianjun Real Estate. Living up to his name, Bai Yanliang truly was a scoundrel who didn't care about Zhang Liujuan's safety, as long as he could maximize his profits.

However, Zhang Liujuan was not a fool, and she had been reminded by Han Xuewei earlier. Moreover, she believed that if she did not sign the contract properly, she would be in danger today.

So, without hesitation, Zhang Liujuan angrily commanded, "Shut your mouth, give me the seal paste!"

Bai Yanliang, truly startled by her words, hurriedly brought out the seal paste.

Ye Xiao and Zhang Liujuan both placed their handprints on the document. Ye Xiao immediately stepped forward, took both copies of the contract into his hands, and said with a smile, "I think this contract won't be of much use in your hands, so I'll keep them safe. Thank you very much for your cooperation, Aunt Zhang!"

Taking the contracts, Ye Xiao knew that once he had them, Zhang Liujuan would not be able to take them back, so she didn't press the issue, especially since the contract was now irrelevant to her.

After completing the signing of the contract and receiving her money, Zhang Liujuan had no reason to stay any longer, so she stood up and walked out immediately after the signing, with Bai Yanliang quickly following.

After Zhang Liujuan left, Ye Xiao cheerfully placed the contracts on the table.

Han Xuewei looked at Ye Xiao and said with self-deprecating humor, "Ye Xiao, now you're the major shareholder of Jianjun Real Estate. I guess I'm working for you now!"

Ye Xiao glanced at Han Xuewei and could see a hint of loss on her face, considering that Jianjun Real Estate, once a thriving business, was now out of complete control of the Han family because of Zhang Liujuan's actions.

"I could draft a new contract to transfer these shares to you," Ye Xiao suggested to Han Xuewei.

Han Xuewei shook her head and said with a smile, "Let's not, the way things are now isn't bad. At least, my father's business hasn't really been split apart!"

Hearing Han Xuewei's words, Ye Xiao smiled lightly, understanding that she now considered him one of her own.

The ownership issue of Jianjun Real Estate finally came to a close, and Li Yinge said to Han Xuewei, "Now that Jianjun Real Estate has been completely taken back from Zhang Liujuan, shouldn't we hold Jianjun's funeral? After all, we can't just leave him in the morgue."

Hearing Li Yinge's words, Han Xuewei immediately nodded and responded, "Let's get it done as soon as possible. He should be laid to rest."

Li Yinge looked at Ye Xiao and asked, "With Jianjun's funeral arranged, will this affect the punishment of Huang Zongyuan?"

"Rest assured, it absolutely will not. Huang Zongyuan has been arrested, and no matter how powerful he is, he won't be able to escape," Ye Xiao assured Li Yinge.

Relieved by Ye Xiao's words, Li Yinge indeed despised Huang Zongyuan to the bone. If not for Huang Zongyuan, the Lin family would not have fallen. Just three years ago, the Lin family's strength was almost on par with the current Han family. The Lin family was extremely wealthy, but due to Huang Zongyuan, the once prosperous family had plummeted into decline.
