Ye Changqing raised his hand and pointed at Wei Yiping, saying, "It's him. You can handle it."
It was quite annoying to always be chased by this guy to repay the kindness. So he simply gave him a chance to avoid being bothered by him in the future.
Liu Xiaolong grabbed Wei Yiping's hair and yanked it hard, demanding, "You don't want to live! How dare you offend my Brother Ye!"
Wei Yiping grimaced in pain. "Brother Long, it hurts. Please be merciful. I... I didn't know you knew him. I really didn't know!"
Liu Xiaolong slapped him twice across the face and then banged his head against the wall. Just one blow made Wei Yiping's head bleed, and his face was covered in blood.
Zhao Qiuyan was so frightened that she didn't know what to do. She had heard of some violent business disputes before, but this was the first time she had witnessed such a scene with her own eyes. Her body trembled slightly.
Liu Yuting was so scared that she kept shouting, "Stop hitting! Stop! Something bad will happen if you keep hitting!"
Ye Changqing walked to the sofa, sat down slowly, and watched in silence.
In his past business dealings, he had seen reporters blackmailing companies. Usually, you could solve the problem by giving them some money. But this guy was being too extreme. Even if Liu Xiaolong hadn't hit him, Ye Changqing would have taken action himself.
Wei Yiping was so scared that his legs gave way, and he knelt directly in front of Liu Xiaolong. "Brother Long, stop hitting. I'll die if you keep hitting. I was forced to do this. I listened to someone else. Brother, please forgive me!"
Liu Xiaolong looked at Ye Changqing and asked, "Brother Ye, is there anything you want to ask him?"
Ye Changqing shook his head. "No."
Liu Xiaolong immediately understood that Ye Changqing wanted him to keep hitting until Wei Yiping revealed the person behind the scenes.
He lunged forward and rained down a flurry of punches until he was tired and then stopped. "Will you talk? If you don't, I'll keep going."
Wei Yiping, who had been beaten, kept crying out in pain. Earlier, he had wanted to tell everything, but Liu Xiaolong just wouldn't stop hitting. Finally, having a chance to speak, he said, "I'll talk. I'll tell you everything. In fact, our newspaper has been losing money, so we reporters have to find ways to make extra money on our own."
Liu Xiaolong kicked him and asked, "Explain clearly. What do you mean by making extra money?"
Wei Yiping quickly explained in fear, "There are shady aspects in every industry. We get some materials and tell companies that they have been reported and that we're going to expose them. Then we get some money from the companies to let the matter drop. That's how we make extra money."
After saying this, he looked at Liu Xiaolong to see if he was satisfied.
Liu Xiaolong shouted, "What are you looking at me for? Keep talking!"
Wei Yiping shuddered at Liu Xiaolong's scolding. "Our editor - in - chief is Li Fu'an. He met a very rich man. I don't know what he does exactly, but I know he's rich. Our editor - in - chief calls him Mr. Wang and was asked by him to publish this article. Right now, Li Fu'an is having dinner upstairs with Mr. Wang."
Finally, there was some useful information!
Ye Changqing stood up and asked, "This Mr. Wang, where exactly is he?"
Wei Yiping pointed upstairs. "He's at Renhe Cuisine upstairs. You can go find him now. I've told you everything. Please let me live."
Liu Xiaolong kicked Wei Yiping until he passed out, then turned to Ye Changqing and said, "Brother Ye, you go find him. I'll watch over this guy. I'll let him go after you find the person."
Ye Changqing nodded. "Thank you for your hard work. You did a good job."
Liu Xiaolong said excitedly, "It's my honor to help Brother Ye."
Ye Changqing turned to Zhao Qiuyan and said, "Let's go."
Zhao Qiuyan nodded. When she walked past Liu Xiaolong, she said, "Thank you."
Liu Xiaolong smiled and said, "Sister - in - law, you're welcome."
Zhao Qiuyan's face turned red, and she didn't know how to explain, so she just walked out with a simple "hm".
Liu Yuting was very unhappy with Liu Xiaolong's words. "Don't call people sister - in - law randomly, hum!"
Liu Xiaolong smiled and bowed. "Okay, second sister - in - law."
Liu Yuting was so angry that she gritted her teeth, her eyes widened, and she glared at Liu Xiaolong, shouting, "Who are you calling second sister - in - law?"
Liu Xiaolong smiled and apologized, "I'm sorry. It's our first meeting, and I made a mistake. Sister - in - law, I'll call you sister - in - law."
"You..." Liu Yuting was trembling with anger. She wanted to say more, but when she saw Ye Changqing, she became even angrier. "None of you are good!"
After saying that, she opened the door and left.
Liu Xiaolong sighed. "Brother Ye, I admire you more and more. You just got out a few days ago, and you've already won the hearts of two beautiful women."
Ye Changqing didn't want to explain to him and said with a smile, "You should work hard too. I'm leaving."
After saying that, he opened the door and left.
He caught up with Zhao Qiuyan and Liu Yuting, and the three of them entered the elevator.
The elevator slowly ascended. None of them spoke, and it seemed a bit awkward. Only the sound of the elevator moving could be heard in the enclosed space.
Liu Yuting kept grinding her teeth. Finally, she couldn't hold back. "Ye Changqing, don't talk nonsense in front of your disreputable friends. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
Ye Changqing looked a bit displeased. "When Wei Yiping was being unreasonable just now, you couldn't come up with a solution. It was my friend who helped and solved the problem. Watch your words!"
Liu Yuting pursed her lips and stopped talking.
Ye Changqing was right. Liu Xiaolong did help. But she still felt aggrieved. "I'm not talking about him. I'm talking about you. Don't talk nonsense. Qiuyan is not your wife, and I'm not your second wife either."
Ye Changqing was speechless. "Liu Yuting, he helped, but you gave him a cold face. He just teased you because you were rude. Don't take it so seriously!"
Liu Yuting thought about it and realized that it was probably true, but she still couldn't save face and snorted angrily.
The three of them got out of the elevator and saw the sign of Renhe Cuisine.
There were two girls in kimonos standing at the entrance of the restaurant.
Ye Changqing directly asked the doorman, "Mr. Wang invited us."
The doorman happily said, "You are Mr. Wang's friends. Follow me."
The doorman led the three of them to the door of a private room and left.
Ye Changqing slowly opened the door.
He was immediately shocked by the scene inside the room.
There were four people dining in the room, two men and two women. One was a bald man in his forties, and the other was a man in his thirties with slicked - back hair. The two women had hot figures and were wearing revealing clothes, looking like hostesses at first glance.
The bald man saw Ye Changqing leading Zhao Qiuyan and Liu Yuting in. His eyes lit up lewdly, and he grinned, "Mr. Wang, I didn't expect you to be so generous. You had two more beautiful women brought in. They are so beautiful. I, Li Fu'an, am really lucky today."
Wang Nianzu looked at Zhao Qiuyan with a glint in his eye. "They are not the people I invited."
Zhao Qiuyan looked unhappy and said coldly, "I am Zhao Qiuyan from Fengnian Group. Liu Minghui found that he made incorrect remarks and wants to withdraw the interview. I heard that Editor - in - Chief Li refuses to withdraw. I want to know what Editor - in - Chief Li means?"
