Meanwhile, Xia Mingyue also learned about Fang Jing's background and realized that Fang Jing's parents are currently in hiding. Although they are well-fed and cared for, they lack freedom, making it more like being under house arrest.

Ye Xiao and the others chatted and laughed, finishing their meal quickly. Naturally, it was Ye Xiao who paid the bill. The reason was simple: Xia Mingyue said that Ye Xiao had made contributions to the company and was planning to give him a bonus.

Ye Xiao was thrilled to hear about the bonus. However, when he went to pay the bill and returned to ask about the bonus, Xia Mingyue revealed that because Ye Xiao's methods were not very legitimate, the bonus would be accumulated into the year-end award, and they wouldn't talk about it for now, leaving Ye Xiao feeling somewhat cheated.

After leaving the Red Bean Restaurant, Ye Xiao dropped Xia Mingyue and Fang Jing off at the Dongning Building but didn't go in himself, saying he had something to do.

Xia Mingyue and Fang Jing knew that when Ye Xiao said he had something to do, it generally meant it was something that had to be done, so they didn't think much of it.

After leaving the Dongning Building, Ye Xiao first called Zhang Yunhu, whom he hadn't contacted in several days.

Currently, Zhang Yunhu is the boss of Tulong Company. After Cao Jinlong died, under Ye Xiao's suggestion, Zhang Yunhu continued to maintain relations with the Azure Dragon Company. Nowadays, Tulong Company is pretty much the same as before, except they provide more offerings to Azure Dragon Company than in the past. Azure Dragon Company has always treated Tulong Company as a profitable investment, so it doesn't matter who the boss is, as long as someone provides the offerings.

"Brother Xiao!" Zhang Yunhu didn't expect Ye Xiao to call him suddenly. Though Ye Xiao controlled him, Ye Xiao hadn't bothered with him these past few days, leaving Zhang Yunhu carefree, enjoying the perks of being a boss. Furthermore, the shares that originally belonged to Cao Jinlong were now in his hands. The money he's earned in the past few days is more than what he used to earn in half a month, making him realize how good it is to be the boss.

"Boss Zhang, how have you been feeling these past few days?" Ye Xiao asked Zhang Yunhu with a smile.

Zhang Yunhu immediately laughed and said, "Thanks to Brother Xiao, otherwise how could I be the boss? Brother Xiao, you must have something, right? Where are you? I'll come pick you up."

"No need. I just wanted to check if you're at the Flying Dragon Nightclub." Ye Xiao said.

Zhang Yunhu replied, "Yes, yes, I am."

"Then just wait a bit." Ye Xiao said.

"Yes, Brother Xiao!" Zhang Yunhu quickly responded.

About ten minutes later, Ye Xiao got out of a taxi, right at the entrance of the Flying Dragon Nightclub.

Zhang Yunhu had experience as a subordinate and in middle management, so he was more adept than the average person. Knowing Ye Xiao was coming, he waited directly at the entrance of the Flying Dragon Nightclub to welcome him.

Seeing Ye Xiao get out of the car, Zhang Yunhu quickly took a step forward and respectfully bowed to Ye Xiao, saying, "Brother Xiao!"

The little brothers behind Zhang Yunhu, seeing the boss do this, also quickly followed suit, despite having doubts about this Brother Xiao.

Ye Xiao smiled wryly, thinking with so many people around, could this lead to misunderstandings?

"Alright, alright, let's go inside first." Ye Xiao said.

Zhang Yunhu immediately said, "Yes, yes, Brother Xiao, please!"

Then, Ye Xiao, Zhang Yunhu, and those few underlings walked into the Flying Dragon Nightclub.

Since it was daytime, the entertainment venue wasn't officially open, so besides people from Tulong Company, no one else was there.

"Brother Xiao, what brings you here this time?" Zhang Yunhu, walking beside Ye Xiao, smilingly asked.

"Is there no place we can talk?" Ye Xiao looked at Zhang Yunhu.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yunhu immediately understood and quickly said, "Brother Xiao, let's go to the second floor."

As the boss of Tulong Company, having an office or two is quite normal.

Once inside the office, Ye Xiao and Zhang Yunhu sat down, and Zhang Yunhu said to one of his underlings, "Hurry and brew the Iron Goddess tea I just bought. How can you be so unobservant?"

"Yes, yes!" The underling promptly said fearfully and went to make the tea.

"You've got quite the presence of a boss now." Ye Xiao smiled, taking out some inferior tobacco from his pocket and offering it to Zhang Yunhu.

Seeing Ye Xiao offer him a cigarette, Zhang Yunhu hurriedly accepted it with both hands, which were trembling slightly.

"Brother Xiao, how could I let you offer a cigarette? I have some new Soft Star Sea here." Zhang Yunhu said ingratiatingly.

"Seems like this kind of tobacco doesn't suit you anymore." Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow and flicked the tobacco in his hand.

Zhang Yunhu was shocked and quickly said, "Brother Xiao, you've misunderstood. I didn't mean anything by it, just wanted you to have something better, Brother Xiao, I..."

Zhang Yunhu was so nervous that he was almost incoherent.

Indeed, Zhang Yunhu is now the boss of Tulong Company. But, my goodness, to know the strength Ye Xiao displayed that day, it was practically inhuman, so powerful that when facing Ye Xiao, Zhang Yunhu had no ability to resist at all. Hence, seeing signs of Ye Xiao's displeasure now, Zhang Yunhu was utterly shocked.

In this world, some people know when to act, and coincidentally, Zhang Yunhu is one of those people. When Cao Jinlong was alive, without the ability to resist, Zhang Yunhu was always cheerful, and even in front of the Leopard Head, he wouldn't display a second-in-command attitude. Facing Cao Jinlong, he didn't dare to overstep. Now, although Cao Jinlong is dead, in Zhang Yunhu's eyes, Ye Xiao is naturally a hundred times more formidable than Cao Jinlong.

If you want a subordinate to be absolutely loyal to you, it's best to use both kindness and authority. However, there's a precondition: let them know your strength.

Ye Xiao looked at Zhang Yunhu, smiled slightly, and said, "Yunhu, you're too tense. I'm just speaking casually."

Zhang Yunhu let out a dry laugh, quickly lit a cigarette for Ye Xiao, and didn't even dare to sit down himself.

"Sit down, I don't like talking to people with my head up," Ye Xiao said.

Zhang Yunhu quickly sat down.

Ye Xiao continued, "I called you today because there's something I need your help with."

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Zhang Yunhu quickly said, "Brother Xiao, you're too polite. Whatever you need, just let me know, Yunhu will do it even if it costs me my life."

"You're making it too serious, there's nothing so crucial as to risk your life," Ye Xiao said with a smile. "What? Don't like smoking my cigarette?"

Zhang Yunhu was holding the cigarette Ye Xiao gave him, hesitating whether to smoke it, wondering if smoking it would make Brother Xiao feel that he was overstepping his bounds. But upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Zhang Yunhu quickly said, "No, I was just listening to Brother Xiao."

Zhang Yunhu said this while he immediately lit the cigarette.

Ye Xiao didn't dwell much on the cigarette and continued, "You know the two big shots of the Hong Company in Jinling District, right?"

"Brother Xiao is talking about Ma Wu and Wu Liu, right? I know, the strength of these two is quite good within the Hong Company," Zhang Yunhu said.

"There will be some friction between them soon," Ye Xiao said with a smile. "Oh, by the way, Wu Shengchang's situation is similar to yours."

The same situation?

Listening to Ye Xiao, Zhang Yunhu didn't react for a moment, but after a slight thought, he looked at Ye Xiao with surprise and said, "Brother Xiao, could it be that you've already subdued Wu Shengchang? That guy is extremely arrogant."

"Maybe he feels, like you, that he clicks with me," Ye Xiao laughed.

Clicks with?

Zhang Yunhu secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, was it really just clicking? It was clearly the result of coercion and bribery.

Zhang Yunhu said, "Brother Xiao, although Tulong Company doesn't have many people, in terms of financial power, Tulong Company is not inferior to others. I can't handle Wu Shengchang's people, but I will definitely provide financial support."

Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "You are all my good brothers, of course, I hope you get along peacefully. But that is not why I came today."

"Ah?" Zhang Yunhu was immediately puzzled. He had just thought Ye Xiao came to ask for money, and he hurried to show his loyalty, but unexpectedly, that wasn't the focus. So, he quickly said to Ye Xiao, "Brother Xiao, you say it!"

"In the mix, you should know the major events that have happened in Jinling District these past few days, right?"

Zhang Yunhu said, "Brother Xiao, are you referring to the attack on the first-in-command Li Zhi of the Guard Bureau and today's street shootout?"

"Right!"

Zhang Yunhu said, "This must have been done by some big figures."

"Exactly, and it involves some very unusual people. What you need to do is, first, send a few clever and reliable brothers to monitor Chen Jianguo's movements day and night, and secondly, find an opportunity to capture Zhang Youchen, who has been dismissed by the Jinling District Guard Bureau. Remember, don't leave any traces," Ye Xiao said.

On hearing Ye Xiao's words, Zhang Yunhu was a bit surprised, these two are both policemen.

Anyone who's been in Jinling District for long knows Chen Jianguo, the captain of the Criminal Police Team of the Jinling District Guard Bureau, is definitely not a simple character.

However, since Ye Xiao has given the order, Zhang Yunhu could only nod in agreement and immediately said, "Brother Xiao, I will get it done as soon as possible."

Ye Xiao said, "Additionally, after you handle the goods you currently have, don't touch that stuff anymore in the future."

"Oh?" Hearing this, Zhang Yunhu naturally knew what Ye Xiao meant by goods, obviously referring to those drugs, so he immediately said to Ye Xiao, "Brother Xiao, Tulong Company was built on those goods. If we don't do this, I'm afraid..."

"Afraid of losing your source of income?" Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow and said, "Since I asked you to handle these, I won't leave you without a source of income. From now on, Tulong Company shouldn't just rope people into doing business, but take over small societies and territories that Hong Company hasn't touched."

"But if we don't sell those things, the money needed for expansion..."

"I just said, I will give you a source of wealth. There's a force a hundred times stronger than the Azure Dragon Company, and it can continuously provide you with funds. So, you tell me, which one is better to do?" Ye Xiao said.

Zhang Yunhu was immediately shocked and said, "Brother Xiao, I will follow your lead."

"Mm, now your primary task is what I just said, to monitor Chen Jianguo and capture Zhang Youchen," Ye Xiao said.

"Don't worry, Brother Xiao, when the time is right, I will have Zhang Youchen appear before you today," Zhang Yunhu vowed firmly.
