bit.”She hung up the phone, Shang Sweetheart excitedly clenched her fists: "That's great, the boss is going to watch her performance."Gaobao Hua asked in surprise, "Sweetheart, which boss are you tal...Ye Bufan and the other person drove to the riverbank pier. When they arrived, they saw a speedboat already waiting there.

On the speedboat stood an old man of fifty or sixty. Seeing the two of them, he asked: "Are you Mr. Ye"

Ye Bufan nodded. "It was me."

"Come with me."

Ye Bufan and the other person jumped up without hesitation. The old man said something and started the speedboat, heading towards Jiangxin Island.

After about twenty minutes, they arrived at the island in the middle of the river. At that moment, Li Hongying was sitting on a long chair on the island, sipping wine and eating steak.

And He Mingzi and others were tied behind her, guarded by more than ten men in black.

Ye Bufan gently leaped onto the small island, Dao Nvzi closely following behind.

Seeing him, Li Hongying put down the wine glass in her hand and a kind smile spread across her face, as if she were meeting an old friend after many years, showing no hint that the two were opposing enemies.

"Mr. Ye, you're finally here," Li Hongying stood up and said, "Actually, I called you here just to have a calm and rational conversation. There's nothing else."

Ye Bufan walked up to her, pulled a chair and sat down, saying calmly: "Miss Li, if you want me to do something, just say it directly. Using my student as leverage is not very sincere way of inviting someone, is it"

"Isn't this unavoidable If I hadn't invited them, Mr. Ye wouldn't have come."

Li Hongying said, waving her hand behind her: "What are you standing there for Let them go."

Those men in black received the order to immediately untie Hai Mingzi and their companions, removing the cloths from their mouths and setting them free.

"Teacher Ye, you're here."

After everyone was freed, they immediately excitedly ran to Ye Bufan's side. They didn't expect Teacher Ye to come and save them.

Li Hongying smiled and said, "How about it, Mr. Ye Am I sincere now"

"You all rest here for a bit, and I'll let you know when I'm done talking."

Ye Bufan waved his hand to Tang Ming and the others, then turned his head and said to Miss Li: "Miss Li, you made a big fuss to bring me here. I wonder what you want to talk about"

Li Hongying said: "Mr. Ye, although we haven't known each other for long, I can tell you are a talented person."

"And what our Dajiang Hui lacks most right now is talent. If you're willing to join, we'll immediately give you the position of hall master. How does that sound"

She indeed had her eyes set on Ye Bufan. His medical skills were astounding, his martial arts prowess was unfathomable, and he even had a loyal follower like Dao Nü by his side. If she could bring him into the Da Jiang faction, it would be a great achievement for her.

That's precisely why she offered him a position just below her own.

Ye Bufan shook his head and said, "I'm not ambitious. I'm just a simple doctor. I'm not interested in anything like being the hall master."

"Don't be so quick to refuse. The terms are all negotiable." Li Hongying obviously hadn't given up, and continued, "As long as Mr. Ye is willing to join our Dajiang Society, I will give you the position of vice-chairman."

"How about that Is that offer sincere"

"Miss Li, I think you've misunderstood. I've said many times that I have no interest in these things. I wouldn't even go for the position of president, let alone vice-president."

Li Hongying said: "Mr. Ye, I think you don't understand our Da Jiang Hui enough. To be frank with you, my father has been developing overseas for these years."

The Grand River Association has also received assistance from friends from all walks of life, and it's now prosperous. Its assets are close to 100 billion yuan. As long as you become the vice president, you will have money that you can spend for a lifetime.

Ye Bufan laughed and said, "Miss Li, you don't know me either. Haven't you heard that I am the chairman of the Brothers Group, and I also have shares in Qin Jewelry Company, a restaurant, and a real estate company."

To be honest, I'm richer than you. Why would I go work for you

"This..."

Upon hearing this, Li Hongying was indeed somewhat surprised. The Jianghe Society's roots were not in Jiangshen City, and their target this time wasn't Ye Bufan either, so she didn't know much about him.

In my previous impression, Ye Bufan should be like Fei Liang, helping the Jiangnan Martial Arts Association only for money. I didn't expect him to be so wealthy.

But she quickly regained her composure and said again, “Well then, let me make a concession. As long as you don’t get involved in the conflict between the Dajiang Association and the Jiangnan Martial Arts Association, I’ll consider our past grievances settled, and I guarantee I won't bother you anymore.”

Ye Bufan chuckled with a teasing grin, "Miss Li, are you mistaken You just sent assassins after my life, and now you want to erase it with a wave of your hand Do you think I'm some kind of clay idol that can be easily molded by you"

"It's not you bothering me now, it's me settling the score with you."

Li Hongying's smile vanished from her face, and her expression immediately turned grave: "Ye Bufan, you need to understand one thing, although you have some skills, the Dajianghui is definitely not someone you can provoke."

Be reasonable and let's just stay out of each other's way. If you're not, the consequences won't be something you can handle.

Ye Bufan still smiled, "I've never liked being threatened. I'd like to see what the consequences will be."

"You..."

Li Hongying wanted to retaliate, but seeing the menacing Dao Nvzi, she ultimately suppressed her anger. "Ye Bufan, you didn't have a close relationship with the Jiangnan Wushu Association to begin with. Why would you get involved in this mess"

As long as you promise not to help the Jiangnan Wudao Association, any conditions you set, whether it's money or beauty, our Da Jiang Hui will definitely fulfill them.

Ye Bufan chuckled playfully, "I've never cared much for money, but I am interested in beauties."

It's a shame you're not very attractive. If you were prettier, I might consider it, but there's no chance now.

No woman wants to hear that she is ugly, even if she really is.

Li Hongying slammed her hand on the table and stood up abruptly, her face contorted with anger. "Ye Bufan, are you sure you want to go against our Dajiang Hui"

Ye Bufan still sat there, looking at her calmly and saying, "Didn't I make it clear enough"

"You just sent a hitman to kill me, do you expect me to kneel and lick you"

Li Hongying's expression suddenly changed, and she sat back down again. "Ye, do you think I'm done just because I let these students go You underestimate me, Li Hongying."

Ye Bufan said playfully, "Oh Are there any other methods I don't know about Show me."

Li Hongying said, "The reason I'm giving these students back to you is because I have something more important up my sleeve."

"Let me tell you, the moment you stepped out, my people moved on your mother and your woman."

She was telling the truth. The reason she let He Mingzi and others go was because she felt these people were not enough to threaten Ye Bufan. Anyway, she already had Ouyang Lan and An Yimo in her hands, so it would be better to use these people to show some sincerity.

Now that negotiations have failed, there's no need to keep hiding anymore.

Ye Bufan's eyebrows twitched: "I'd heard that Jiang would act unscrupulously, but today I truly saw it for myself."

Li Hongying said: "Cut the crap, as long as you promise not to participate in the martial arts competition tomorrow between us and the Jiangnan Martial Arts Association, I guarantee your mother and woman will be fine."

Otherwise, our Da Jiang clan wouldn't be considered a reputable and honorable family. We would be capable of anything. As for what would happen to the two women, you can imagine for yourself.

"I have to admit, your threat is quite effective, but it depends on me believing you're telling the truth."

"Don't you believe me They'll be back any minute now."

Li Hongying had just finished speaking when a sound of an engine suddenly came from the river surface, followed by a speedboat rushing towards them.ally received an invitation from Hollywood, so why should I leave"Carter smiled again, not in the least bit hurried."Miss Shang, didn't I explain this to you It was our staff's mistake. The invitation...
