My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 289: Looking for a Master? Find Me!

"This is too big. I must think it over carefully!" Li Qingyan said, furrowing her brow.

"You can, but you'll have to show some sincerity," Ji Sheng said with a faint smile. "I'll be honest with you. Do you know Yuan Cheng? He used to be a big shot in Kang City before he went overseas. He learned some new skills and came back. He's now working for the Kang City Business Alliance, and he's taken a keen interest in the heiress of the Hongmen. If you want time to consider, then for my mother's sake—that is, for your nanny's sake—come to the Blue Moon Club tonight. Yuan Cheng will be waiting for you there. As for what that entails, I'm sure you can figure it out."

After speaking, Ji Sheng turned and left, leaving Li Qingyan frozen in place, her expression grim.

She wasn't a fool; in fact, she was quite clever. She immediately understood the unspoken threat in his words. The meeting tonight was clearly a trap.

Should I go or not? Do I really have to betray the Qifei Group? It's just as Ji Sheng said. Selling out the Qifei Group wouldn't be a problem for me. I could take the money and disappear, and I could even rescue my nanny. It seems like a win-win situation. But why does the whole thing feel so disgusting? Both Yang Qi and Ye Fei trust me completely. If I betray the Qifei Group, would I even be human anymore? I have to find a solution that works for everyone.

Frowning, Li Qingyan drove back to the company.

Meanwhile, Ji Sheng was on the phone with Yuan Cheng. "Brother Yuan, it's done. The task you gave me is as good as accomplished. I guarantee that woman will betray the Qifei Group within three days. Any normal person would make the logical choice! Also, Li Qingyan might come to the Blue Moon Club tonight. She can really fight, Brother Yuan, so you'd better bring some extra men. Otherwise, things could get complicated."

"You've done well, lad. I've transferred five hundred thousand to you. Spend it however you like. Once this is all over, you'll get even more," Yuan Cheng chuckled before hanging up.

Ji Sheng was ecstatic. He never imagined he could make this kind of money.

As for his mother? He couldn't care less. It would be for the best if the old hag just died. One less burden for him. And maybe tonight, I'll even get a taste of the Hongmen heiress myself.

Having grown up overseas, Ji Sheng had always coveted Li Qingyan, but he had never dared to act on it. This time, however, someone was creating the perfect opportunity for him. If he still didn't have the guts to make a move, wouldn't that just be pathetic? 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Li Qingyan returned to the company, overcome with anxiety. She had no idea how to handle what was coming. She didn't have many friends in Kang City, so how many people could she possibly turn to for real help?

Suddenly, an image of Yang Qi flashed through her mind.

That's right, I should ask Yang Qi for help!

Li Qingyan knew how formidable Yang Qi was. Even if he wouldn't help her himself, surely he could recommend some powerful bodyguards. She had to resolve this tonight, one way or another, but she wasn't about to walk in unprepared, like a lamb to the slaughter.

At that moment, Yang Qi was discussing company matters with Ye Fei.

"Yang Qi, the company has grown significantly," Ye Fei said. "We need more managers and technicians. Is it alright if I use company funds for recruitment?"

"Of course! As long as it's for the good of the company, use whatever you need," Yang Qi waved his hand dismissively. "We can't skimp on these necessary expenses, not by a single cent! I'm too busy with other things to oversee the company right now, so you have full authority. Don't worry about making mistakes. Even if you somehow manage to run the company into the ground, I won't blame you. Go ahead and do what you think is best. I have complete faith in you."

"That's why it's so great working with you!" Ye Fei smiled.

Just then, Yang Qi's phone rang. He glanced at the screen and was surprised to see it was a call from Li Qingyan, so he answered it.

"What's up? Any news on the Heavenly Heart Grass?" Yang Qi asked.

"No, it's not that. I've run into some trouble. Can we meet?" Li Qingyan's voice was tense.

"Sure."

Yang Qi left Ye Fei's office and went straight to Li Qingyan's.

"You're at the company?" Li Qingyan asked, stunned.

"Yeah, I was just visiting Ye Fei. What's wrong?" Yang Qi sat down and asked.

Li Qingyan hesitated for a long while before finally explaining what had happened.

He's truly despicable! That Ji Sheng is a real piece of work. Yang Qi frowned.

"He may be despicable, but I can't abandon my nanny," Li Qingyan sighed. "She's been so good to me. She even saved my life once! If it weren't for her, I would have been dead long ago."

"So, you're planning to sell the Qifei Group?" Yang Qi asked with a slight smile.

"Never! The boss and the chairman trust me completely. What kind of person would I be if I did that?" Li Qingyan replied firmly. "Ji Sheng invited me to the Blue Moon Club tonight. I have to resolve this, but I don't have the confidence to do it alone. It would be like walking straight into a lion's den. That's why I was hoping you could recommend some experts to me. Money is no object; I'll pay whatever it costs!"

"Why look for other experts when you have me?" Yang Qi chuckled.

"Are you sure? I'm telling you, the person I'm supposed to meet tonight is Yuan Cheng! He was a notorious figure in Kang City who committed a slew of crimes before fleeing overseas. Now he's back, and he's more powerful than ever," Li Qingyan warned.

"Heh, Yuan Cheng, you say? Perfect. I have a score to settle with him anyway." Yang Qi grinned. He remembered how Yuan Cheng had tried to attack him during the treasure hunt, only to be stopped by Zhao Xiong. How could he forget something like that? It had seemed like a minor incident at the time, so he hadn't bothered with it. But things were different now. Yuan Cheng was helping the Kang City Business Alliance move against the Qifei Group, and that was something he could not ignore.

"Alright, it's settled. We'll go together tonight!" Without waiting for Li Qingyan to object, Yang Qi turned to leave. "I guarantee I'll get you back safely!"

「At seven o'clock that evening, in the Blue Moon Club.」

This was a private club, so it was never crowded with ordinary people. The only ones granted entry were members of the Kang City Business Alliance.

Yuan Cheng was already seated in a private room. Ji Sheng stood beside him, buzzing with excitement. Tonight, he would finally get a taste of the swan meat he had craved for so long. How could he not be thrilled?

Ji Sheng noticed several other men standing near Yuan Cheng. Each of them radiated an immense, suffocating pressure that nearly took his breath away.

"This is Master Chen, a Baji Grandmaster! And that is Master Su Cha, a Muay Thai Grandmaster!" Yuan Cheng gestured to the men. "Let me introduce you. This kid is Ji Sheng. He'd even sell out his own mother. Ruthless, isn't he? Hahahaha!"

Yuan Cheng burst into laughter. He was taking no chances in dealing with Li Qingyan, having brought two Great Grandmasters for backup. Tonight, he wasn't just going to deal with Li Qingyan; he was going to break her completely.

"When you make your move later, go easy on her," Yuan Cheng reminded the masters. "Don't kill her. I want the beauty for myself!"
