Chapter 335: The Tide Turns, Despair!
At the moment they saw Ye Longchen, Qin Jiang and his companions were both surprised and delighted.
"Ye, you're alright? Hahaha, I knew that piece of trash Ye Wujie couldn't kill you!" Qin Jiang stepped forward and patted Ye Longchen on the shoulder, his eyes filled with emotion.
Ye Longchen smiled faintly, "There are some matters that aren't settled yet, I am not that easy to kill."
Qin Jiang looked Ye Longchen up and down, quite astonished.
"What's up?" asked Ye Longchen.
"Ye, not only has your strength improved noticeably during this time, but it seems you've also made gains in the love department."

Qin Jiang laughed, "How come it's just you coming over, why didn't you bring your wife along for us to meet?"
Zhao Yuefei and the others were baffled.
"Qin Jiang, what are you blabbering about?"
Qin Jiang explained, "Whether I'm blabbering or not, just look at what's on Ye's wrist and you'll know."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuefei and the women immediately focused their attention on Ye Longchen's wrist.
Indeed, they found a red string on Ye Longchen's wrist and instantly understood the situation.
Zhao Yuefei smiled softly, "You really have sharp eyes, I didn't notice this at all on the way here."
Ye Longchen gave a soft cough, "Alright, enough with snooping into my affairs, let's get back on topic."
"Alright, everyone don't just stand around, let's sit down and talk," Qin Jiang gestured for them to sit.
Zhao Yuefei turned to Ling Qingxue with a teasing comment, "Miss Ling, what kind of wind blew you over here?"
"Miss Zhao is also here, so what's out of place if I come over?" retorted Ling Qingxue with neither servility nor overbearance.
"Nothing's out of place, it's just somewhat unusual," replied Zhao Yuefei as she sat down composedly.
Ling Qingxue paid her no mind and instead addressed Qin Jiang, "Qin Jiang, I came here to offer you help."
Zhao Yuefei smiled playfully, "Miss Ling, it looks like you really do care about Qin Jiang."
Being called out by Zhao Yuefei in front of everyone, Ling Qingxue's pretty face reddened, and she quickly responded, "Isn't it normal to be concerned for a friend?"
Qin Jiang suddenly felt overwhelmed.
Why was he sensing a hint of gunpowder in the air?
He looked up at Xu Muge and caught her sparkling eyes glaring at him briefly, making him tense up, and he could only respond with an awkward smile to defuse the situation.
Zhao Yuefei smiled and remained silent.
As a woman, she understood Ling Qingxue's thoughts all too well.
Ling Qingxue changed the subject, "Qin Jiang, I came over to discuss something with you."
"We're all friends here, speak freely."
Ling Qingxue nodded and then said, "The Jiangge Group is in grave danger, and my Zhonghai Ling Family is involved as well, for which I want to apologize to you."
"The representative of the Ling Family, who stood up to you at last night's business alliance meeting, was my elder brother Ling Xiangyang, but he has always been at odds with me."
"I had already warned him beforehand, but to no avail."
"I've raised a little over a hundred billion, hoping to lend some assistance to help the Jiangge Group survive this crisis."
Upon hearing this, Qin Jiang understood, "Thank you for your kind intentions, Miss Ling, but I have a strategy in place."
Ling Qingxue paused, taken aback.
She had already heard the rumors, the other party had gathered two hundred billion to crash the Jiangge Group.
Without substantial capital support, Jiangge Group wouldn't have a leg to stand on!
What kind of strategy did Qin Jiang have?
Zhao Yuefei cautioned, "Taking this approach, I'm afraid they might act in desperation."
Ye Longchen also nodded. According to the current situation, Luo Qingyi and the others were bound to lose everything.
In a fit of fury and shame, they were very likely to take action against Qin Jiang and Xu Muge.
"There's no reason to refuse money that's been freely offered," Qin Jiang naturally understood the stakes, "so we need to lay out our plans in advance to be ready for all this."
Then, Qin Jiang turned to Ye Longchen, "Ye, I think you must also have a plan in mind."
After pondering for a moment, Ye Wujie slowly said, "Perhaps, this is an opportunity to deal with Ye Wujie."
"Last time's misfortune turned to my benefit. Now, whether it's my state of mind or my cultivation level, both have greatly improved. Next time I face Ye Wujie, I'll have a better chance."
"As for the news that I'm still alive, I hope everyone can keep it a secret and not let it leak."
Qin Jiang said directly, "Ye, lay out your plan, we are all ears."
"I plan to…"
After discussing strategies together for a while, Qin Jiang decided to enter closed-door cultivation for a few days to prepare in advance.
He said to Ling Qingxue, "Miss Ling, I will need some precious herbs for my cultivation in the next two days; it looks like I will have to trouble you to help me prepare them."
Being asked by Qin Jiang made Ling Qingxue very happy; she agreed readily without any hesitation.
Two days passed.
Luo Qingyi's people were like ants on a hot pan.
They now realized just how foolish it was to stubbornly fight to the end.
Two hundred billion of capital had poured in, only to find that Qin Jiang's funds seemed endless, crushing them entirely.
"Miss Luo, the capital we invested earlier is completely trapped; our team is powerless to recover, and those funds are being eaten away…"
The man with the gold-rimmed glasses wiped sweat from his brow, his voice trembling as he reported the current situation.
Hearing this, Luo Qingyi was like a grieving widow, her face ashen!
It was not until this moment that she realized Qin Jiang had been feigning weakness all along!
He had deliberately lured her to invest a vast amount of capital, just so that she would lose everything, down to the last crumb.
Ye Wujie's face also looked extremely unpleasant.
Just then, Luo Fengyuan made a call.
"Dad!" Luo Qingyi immediately called out.
Luo Fengyuan's voice was stern, "Look at what you've done!"
"Dad, it's all because that guy, Qin Jiang, is too cunning."
Luo Qingyi explained, "Just give me a bit more money, I can definitely turn the tables! I won't let you down..."
"Enough!"
Luo Fengyuan interrupted, "How can I still trust you?"
"Do you know how much pressure this has put on me?"
"You teamed up with so many families to finance this venture, causing everyone to lose money together. Those families are now very dissatisfied with the Luo Family; one by one, they're calling to make me answer for it, my phone is almost exploding! The threshold of the Luo Family's house has been broken!"
"The members of our clan are seizing this opportunity to attack and impeach me directly, shaking my position within the clan."
"I'm telling you, the family won't provide any more support for you; this mess is of your own making, and you must resolve it!"
"I don't care by what means you do it, or if you go kneel and beg for mercy from the Jiangge Group, but you must resolve this issue for me; otherwise, don't come home!"
"Dad! Don't abandon me…"
Luo Qingyi was utterly desperate, but the beep of the phone indicated that the line was already dead.
Luo Fengyuan had hung up.
Now, Luo Qingyi's last shred of hope had been utterly extinguished.
