Chapter 338: 800 Million

Wang Ming had thought his death was inescapable, never expecting Chen Erbao to actually ask him how much money he had!

He hastily blurted out, "I have money! I have three hundred million!"

"Not enough."

Chen Erbao stared at him, his face expressionless.

"..."

"I'll give you one more chance. If I'm not satisfied with your answer, you can spend the rest of your life in Hongyuan City."

Chen Erbao's voice was impossibly cold, like a whisper from the depths of Nine Nether Hell, making Wang Ming tremble from head to toe.

"Eight hundred million... That's all I have. I only brought this much money with me to China. I'm begging you..."

Chen Erbao felt he had squeezed him about dry. After a moment of silence, he said, "Wire the money to my company's account by tomorrow morning. Otherwise, your family can come collect your corpse."

With that, Chen Erbao pulled Lin Zhiqing away and left the mall, leaving Wang Ming to stand there alone, completely overwhelmed.

...

The autumn wind began to stir, and leaves from the trees lining the road slowly drifted down.

Chen Erbao and Lin Zhiqing strolled down a small path blanketed in fallen leaves, enjoying the peaceful moment.

"Er Bao, wasn't that a little too harsh?"

Lin Zhiqing asked, a hint of worry in her voice.

"Wang Ming? Or Liu Xian?"

Chen Erbao wasn't sure who she meant.

Lin Zhiqing sighed and looked at him seriously.

"Liu Xian, of course. The Liu Family is the uncrowned king of Jiangnan Province. Even the Zhao Family doesn't dare to offend them lightly. You disrespected Liu Xian today. I'm afraid he'll come looking for trouble..."

Chen Erbao sighed.

"I had no choice. He came right at me. If I hadn't been firm, I wouldn't be able to hold my ground here in the future."

"Sigh... Don't worry too much. With our Medicine King Hall around, he won't dare to go too far. Thankfully, the Liu Family's main power is in the military, so it shouldn't affect the company's business for a while. You just have to be more careful from now on. Don't give them anything to use against you."

"Don't worry. I'll figure something out."

Chen Erbao said reassuringly.

'In truth, he didn't have a good solution right now either. All he could do was take things as they come and react to whatever they threw at him.'

They walked hand in hand down the path and along the street, stopping beside a bubble tea shop.

Chen Erbao bought Lin Zhiqing a bubble tea, then suddenly remembered something else he had to do and took her back to the factory.

When it was time to part, Lin Zhiqing leaned into Chen Erbao's embrace, unwilling to let go. Her arms wrapped around his waist as she tilted her head up to look at him.

"I have to start setting up the new factory tomorrow or the day after, so I might not have much free time for a few days..."

Chen Erbao said seriously, cradling Lin Zhiqing's fair, delicate face in his hands.

Lin Zhiqing nodded gently. Her eyes darted for a moment, then settled on Chen Erbao with a peculiar glint.

"Are you going away with Sister Xiaoqing?"

Chen Erbao's heart skipped a beat, but he kept a straight face and replied,

"Yes. Once the conglomerate is established, Xiaoqing will be the CEO. She needs to understand the details of every company and factory under its umbrella..."

Lin Zhiqing studied him, her tone a little odd.

"Ohh~ an unmarried man and woman traveling together on business. How sweet..."

"..."

Helpless, Chen Erbao gently flicked the bridge of Lin Zhiqing's pale nose.

"Don't be silly... We're just going for work..."

'Of course, he had other things on his mind, but he certainly couldn't say that in front of Lin Zhiqing.'

Seeing Chen Erbao avoid her gaze, Lin Zhiqing couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.

"Just do whatever you want. It's not like Sister Xiaoqing is a stranger... If it will help you settle down a bit, then Sister Xiaoqing... I can accept her."

Hearing Lin Zhiqing's words, Chen Erbao froze for a second before his heart erupted in ecstasy.

'Has Zhiqing really accepted the thing between me and Bai Xiaoqing?!'

'What a wonderful surprise!'

"Ahem... It's not like that. Don't let your imagination run wild!"

'He still had no intention of admitting it. Talking about one woman in front of another was a cardinal sin.'

...

After taking Lin Zhiqing home, Chen Erbao rushed over to Zhang Yiyi's place.

'Before leaving, he decided he would pass the Pure Maiden Divine Skill on to Zhang Yiyi. By the time he returned, her Cultivation should be nearly complete, and then...'

'He could devour her in a single bite!'

'Their first union, combined with dual cultivation using the Pure Maiden Divine Skill, would grant them both the greatest possible boost in power. That was his ultimate goal.'

'Otherwise, he would have found an opportunity to have his way with Zhang Yiyi completely by now!'

Chen Erbao called Zhang Yiyi and picked her up for dinner in his car.

"Yiyi, I have to go on a business trip in a couple of days to deal with the new factory. You and Zhao Hai will be in charge of everything at the security company. If there's anything you don't understand, just ask me. The mask company will also send some experienced managers to help you out. You just focus on managing the team for me!"

The two went to a private restaurant and ordered a table full of house specialties.

Zhang Yiyi's cheeks flushed slightly. Listening to Chen Erbao, she felt like the boss's wife.

"Er Bao, will you be gone for long?"

"About a week, but it depends on the situation. It should be pretty quick. The new factory was a gift from a friend, so the equipment and everything should be fairly complete."

'Zhao Feng should be very reliable. He is the richest man in Jiangnan Province, after all. A small matter like this would be nothing to him.'

Zhang Yiyi peeled a shrimp for Chen Erbao and fed it to him with her own hands. Her clear eyes, full of excitement, were fixed on his face.

"You can go without any worries. Zhao Hai and I will definitely manage the company well!"

"..."

'That sounds a bit weird,' Chen Erbao thought.

He reached out and gave Zhang Yiyi's butt a light slap. Liking the feel of it, he placed his hand back on her rear and gave it a couple of squeezes.

"Try not to miss me too much while I'm gone."

Zhang Yiyi's face flushed red. She grabbed his mischievous hands as her breathing quickened.

"I won't miss you at all... Ah!"

Before she could finish, Chen Erbao forcefully pinned her small hands down. His other hand traced the delicate curve of her lower back, then slid down between her buttocks.

Her tender entrance was taken by surprise. Her legs instinctively clamped together, trapping Chen Erbao's palm firmly between them.

"We're eating... You... stop fooling around..."

Feeling the strange sensations from below, Zhang Yiyi went limp and leaned weakly against Chen Erbao.

Chen Erbao let out a sly chuckle. Though his palm was trapped, his nimble fingers were free. He slid them up and down the slick entrance a few times.

"If you say you won't miss me, then I'll just have to satisfy you completely right now!"

Sensing his fingers were about to push deeper, Zhang Yiyi's pretty face turned a shade of crimson so deep it looked like it might bleed. She buried her face in Chen Erbao's shoulder.

"I... I'll miss you... Please don't..."

SQUISH...

Chen Erbao's fingers gently parted the delicate petals and plunged inside.

The intense stimulation and tidal wave of pleasure made Zhang Yiyi fall back limply onto the bench. Her legs parted unconsciously, allowing Chen Erbao's fingers to move in and out freely.
