Unrivaled Soldier in the City-Chapter 76: Paper Obsession and Drunken Gold

"Liu Dong, have the men I asked you to arrange arrived?" Ye Tiannan asked, looking at the young man to his left.

"Brother Nan, everything is ready. He’s on the sixth floor. I’ll take you up right now," the young man named Liu Dong replied hurriedly.

Ye Tiannan nodded and followed Liu Dong to the sixth floor.

Upon reaching a room, Liu Dong spoke again. "Brother Nan, he’s inside. You can go in; I’ll stand guard for you out here."

Liu Dong was being tactful. As a mere follower, he knew he shouldn’t overstep his bounds, especially in a situation like this.

Ye Tiannan nodded, pleased. He didn’t bother knocking and simply pushed the door open, walking straight in.

Inside the room, a man in his thirties was sitting on a sofa. Behind him stood two brawny men, their muscles bulging like bodybuilders’.

"Young Master Ye, you’ve arrived," the man on the sofa said as he rose to his feet, though his tone lacked any real respect. Ye Tiannan didn’t seem to care and quietly took a seat opposite him.

"Chen Feng, how is the task I entrusted to you progressing?" Ye Tiannan inquired.

"Young Master Ye, I’ve already investigated. The man’s name is Lin Kuang. He joined the Yashi Company after returning from the United States. As for what he did before that, there are absolutely no leads. It’s as if the man appeared out of thin air," Chen Feng said with a grim expression.

Anyone in their line of work knew a man like Lin Kuang had a story, but Chen Feng couldn’t begin to guess what it was.

Hearing Chen Feng’s words, Ye Tiannan’s expression darkened. "Chen Feng, are you playing with me? The Wumi Building’s intelligence network is supposedly the best in the world, with operatives in every country. And you can’t even find out Lin Kuang’s identity?" As he spoke, a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes, his face twisting into a look of disdain.

At this, Chen Feng’s expression shifted subtly before he smiled. "Young Master Ye, I’m just the person in charge of the East Sea branch. Besides, the price you’re offering only covers this level of investigation.

"I can tell you that for someone like him, regardless of his background, we would need at least ten million to provide you with intelligence.

"That’s just the minimum. If his background exceeds that scope, our asking price will be even higher. Ten million is just the starting price."

"Ten million? It costs ten million just to investigate an ordinary person’s identity?" Ye Tiannan asked, his face grim.

Ye Tiannan had always been a cautious man. After returning from the Yang Family’s home yesterday, he had immediately contacted Chen Feng, the head of the Wumi Building in East Sea.

He naturally wanted to investigate Lin Kuang’s background. If Lin Kuang had none, Ye Tiannan wouldn’t mind making him disappear from East Sea. But if Lin Kuang did have some kind of significant backing, Ye Tiannan would have to make other plans.

Of course, Chen Feng’s initial price was only one million, which was within a normal range.

What Ye Tiannan hadn’t expected was that the Wumi Building had only managed to find such a meager clue, which to him, was practically useless. And continuing the investigation would cost at least ten million. It wasn’t that he couldn’t afford it, but it was still ten million. Ye Tiannan was reluctant to spend ten million on a single clue.

"Young Master Ye, I’ve made myself very clear. If you wish to proceed, transfer the money. If not, I should be on my way," Chen Feng said, standing up with a smile.

A conflicted look crossed Ye Tiannan’s face. After a moment’s thought, he gave up on the idea.

I’m the son of the Mayor of East Sea. So what if that Lin Kuang has some background? The worst that can happen is I lay low somewhere else for a bit. What can he really do to me?

With this thought, Ye Tiannan composed himself and stood up with a smile. "That won’t be necessary, Mr. Chen. Thank you for your trouble."

Hearing this, Chen Feng smiled faintly. "Very well, Young Master Ye. I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave."

With that, Chen Feng gave Ye Tiannan a nod and left with his two bodyguards. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

After Chen Feng left, Ye Tiannan’s expression darkened again. "Liu Dong, come in," he called out.

Hearing Ye Tiannan’s summons, Liu Dong, who was waiting by the door, quickly entered. "Young Master Ye," he said respectfully as he approached.

"Get some men to this KTV and throw that Lin Kuang into the Huangpu River to feed the fish," Ye Tiannan said coolly.

Hearing this, Liu Dong calmly nodded. "Yes, Young Master Ye. I’ll get right on it."

Liu Dong was no stranger to this kind of work, which was why he remained so composed. Besides, the opportunity to do a job for Young Master Ye wasn’t one that came along for just anyone.

Ye Tiannan glanced at the time, feeling a wave of irritation. After a moment’s thought, he decided not to linger and left immediately.

Meanwhile, Lin Kuang was singing with the group of women, all of whom were having the time of their lives.

The endless stream of lively songs and sultry dancing stirred something inside Lin Kuang. For a normal young man who hadn’t been with a woman in over a year, a scene like this was incredibly tempting.

Moreover, the women had all been drinking. Buoyed by the alcohol, they were having even more fun, not caring about the occasional wardrobe malfunction.

They might not care, but he sure did!

Sitting in the corner, Lin Kuang was starting to feel overwhelmed. Faced with a group of gorgeous women, he was finding it hard to remain composed.

Just then, Lin Guo’er walked over with a smile.

She naturally took a seat beside Lin Kuang, her soft hand wrapping around his arm.

"Little Brother Kuang, don’t you think your big sister looks pretty today?" Lin Guo’er seemed to be deliberately teasing him, her pouted red lips blowing hot air near his ear.

"Lin Guo’er, I’m warning you, you’re playing with fire!" Lin Kuang growled, glaring at her.

"Tsk tsk, Little Brother Kuang, are you all hot and bothered? Want your big sister to help you out?" Lin Guo’er said with a teasing smile, her soft hand reaching toward him.
