Ye Tianfan drank the red wine poured by Li Tianxing, thinking of an old saying: "The older ginger is spicier." Although Long Yuqing is very capable, she still can't outmatch Qin Wujue's cunning. Even though Ye Tianfan had only met Qin Wujue once, those unfathomable eyes of his were deeply imprinted in Ye Tianfan's mind.

At this moment, Long Yuqing looked very much like a helpless child, directing her eyes at Ye Tianfan, as if seeking his opinion.

The Long Family's sixty years of preparation had gone to waste. Long Yuqing felt unwilling but the situation before her was all too realistic.

It was like a junior high student fighting a college student, going in with high spirits, righteous and full of preparation, calling friends and even bringing a steel rod hidden in sleeves, only to find that the opponent could beat you black and blue with bare hands.

"As long as the green hills last, there will always be firewood to burn. Retreat a step and the sea is wide and the sky vast." Ye Tianfan said this flatly to Long Yuqing.

The current situation was just like that, if she resisted forcefully, Long Yuqing would undoubtedly suffer more losses, and Ye Tianfan also didn't want the Long Family and Qin Family to engage in this business war.

Long Yuqing bit her lip, Ye Tianfan was right, as long as the green hills last, there will always be firewood to burn, the Long Family endured for sixty years, what's a brief moment more? Although the start was unfavorable, Long Yuqing wouldn't give up, she still had enough backup to fight the Qin Family.

"Fine, I agree to give up the fight for the business sector in the Northern Lingnan District!" Long Yuqing reluctantly compromised.

Smile?

Cold laugh?

In any case, an indescribable smile appeared on Li Tianxing's face.

"Miss Long, you can call Fang Zaitian now. As far as I know, it's him who occupies most of the commercial territories in Northern Lingnan District."

Li Tianxing's words made Ye Tianfan frown, glancing at Long Yuqing, such an important commercial area in the Northern Lingnan District, Long Yuqing wasn't occupying it herself, but letting Fang Zaitian's people take it!

Ye Tianfan didn't know what kind of understanding had been reached between Long Yuqing and Fang Zaitian, nor what kind of leverage Long Yuqing held over Fang Zaitian.

But in any case, having control in one's own hands is more reassuring, this current situation is not a good omen.

Ye Tianfan reminded Long Yuqing to be careful of Fang Zaitian, but Long Yuqing didn't take it seriously; now Ye Tianfan felt a twinge of unease again.

Bleep bleep bleep...

Long Yuqing dialed Fang Zaitian's number, requesting him to cancel all plans regarding commercial invasion in Northern Lingnan District before dawn.

"Miss Long, what are you talking about?"

"I said cancel all commercial plans for Northern Lingnan District! Otherwise, our Long Family will suffer severe losses."

A cold snort came from the phone, followed by Fang Zaitian's icy voice: "Long Yuqing, you yourself said it would be your Long Family suffering severe losses, what does that have to do with me, Fang Zaitian?"

The call was disconnected.

Long Yuqing was astonished.

The hand holding the phone slightly trembled.

Li Tianxing drained the red wine in his hand, looked at Long Yuqing, and said, "It seems our Elder Qin is right, the helper you brought in isn't something you can control, Fang Zaitian's ambition is beyond what you can imagine!"

Finished!

Long Yuqing thought only of these words as despair flashed in her eyes while looking at Li Tianxing.

Li Tianxing waved his hand, saying, "Miss Long, Elder Qin asked me to tell you that although our Qin Family has conflicts with the Long Family, one thing can be guaranteed: the Qin Family never uses illegal methods in business! Not sixty years ago, not now."

"So, the seventy-two warehouses of the Long Family are very safe."

Surprise flashed in Long Yuqing's eyes as she looked at Li Tianxing, saying in a deep voice, "You're bluffing!"

"Isn't that how business is? Deception, ordinary means, if Miss Long has never used illegal methods in business, could I have bluffed you?"

Li Tianxing's words carried sarcasm, his eyes carried provocation, he glanced at Long Yuqing before turning to leave the bar.

Just as Li Tianxing had said, the Long Family's business isn't as clean as the Qin Family's, especially Long Yuqing, the underground queen of Jiangzhou, indeed used some unscrupulous methods to stabilize the Long Family's status in Jiangzhou.

So Long Yuqing thought the Qin Family was like her, using any means possible for the business war.

But she underestimated Qin Wujue.

Without using any illegal methods, how did the Qin Family unseat the Long Family from its dominant position in Jiangzhou City sixty years ago?

Long Yuqing couldn't believe it, couldn't possibly believe, perhaps more so shouldn't believe.

Because just after Li Tianxing left.

"Boom!" A muffled sound, it seemed the bar's floor was trembling, Ye Tianfan was suddenly shocked too, he rushed out from the bar, only to see flames soaring into the sky from the southern part of Jiangzhou City!

It's Lingnan District!

The seventy-two warehouses of the Long Family were engulfed in a sea of fire in an instant.

Seeing this situation, Long Yuqing only felt dizziness, her body slightly weakened, about to fall backward, Ye Tianfan quickly and decisively caught Long Yuqing in an embrace.

"Qin Wujue! Old scoundrel! Destroy my Long Family warehouses!" Long Yuqing's face was full of resentment, her apricot eyes filled with fury.

Ye Tianfan frowned, looking towards Lingnan District, the flames illuminating the night, seemed indicative of severe losses to the Long Family's warehouses.

Compared to Long Yuqing's anger, Ye Tianfan appeared very calm. This incident with Long Yuqing's warehouses gave Ye Tianfan the first impression of Fang Zaitian!

This isn't the work of the Qin Family's techniques! It feels more like Fang Zaitian!

"I feel it probably wasn't done by the Qin Family." Ye Tianfan instinctively reminded, instantly igniting all of Long Yuqing's fury.

For the first time, Long Yuqing lost her composure yelling at Ye Tianfan, "Not the Qin Family? Didn't you hear what Li Tianxing said earlier?"

"I heard."

"Just because Qin Ruomeng is your fiancée, you're biased towards the Qin Family! Is that right?"

"…" Ye Tianfan.

Confronted with Long Yuqing's hysterical rage, Ye Tianfan didn't know what to say to explain, women's nerves are always so sensitive, everything can be connected to emotions! Although Li Tianxing said he wanted to target the seventy-two warehouses of the Long Family, he ultimately clarified that the Qin Family wouldn't use illegal means.

Ye Tianfan believed Li Tianxing's last words.

Long Yuqing did not!

No matter how strong Long Yuqing was, how shrewd her business mind was, she was fundamentally a woman, unable to escape the binding of emotions.

"Don't you suspect Fang Zaitian?" Ye Tianfan asked.

Long Yuqing bit her silver teeth, eyes full of bitterness. This kind of gaze on Long Yuqing's perfect face was difficult to accept.

"No doubt!"

"Why?"

Long Yuqing's face showed frost, saying coldly, "Because his daughter is in my hands! I don't believe he would risk his daughter's life to oppose me!"
