Chapter 818 - 738: Cooperation (Part 2)

"Since it’s something that can’t be seen in public, even if you get it, it can’t be exposed, right?"

"Mei Erqing doesn’t dare to take it out because his background is transparent. People who know him can roughly calculate how much wealth he has. If he really takes it out, others would surely think he’s embezzling. Over the years, there have been quite a few people watching for the Mei Family’s mistakes. Otherwise, with just that little issue of Mei Langchi, he could have easily solved it if no one was scheming against him from behind.

However, those funds are different for us. We all make money and are involved in business, so it’s not surprising to occasionally obtain a few treasures outside. By the time we secretly store them for a few years and sell them for double, we could eat for two lifetimes."

Han Yi raised an eyebrow, with a smile in his eyes, "How much do you want?"

"How much do you want?"

Both are really quite straightforward

But this time Han Yi didn’t dodge the question, he faced him directly, "Initially, I thought the Mei Family valued me as a descendant and thus refused to acknowledge me. I never considered those things. However, hearing what you said today, I feel that if Mei Erqing doesn’t bleed a little, I won’t be satisfied. The rest I’ll leave for Mei Lang Jun."

"Straightforward, I like your personality. Don’t worry, I won’t compete with you. I just want to retrieve my mom’s stuff."

"What stuff of your mom’s?"

"The Chen Family’s heirloom jade pendant, taken by that beast Mei Erqing."

It seems that the things Mei Erqing hid are not much of a secret. At least, so many people know about it.

"What do you want me to do?"

"No need to focus too much on me. Just follow your usual way, and when it’s my turn to show up, give some backup from behind."

"What’s in it for me?"

"The condition I just mentioned isn’t enough? Mei Erqing has plenty of treasures. I’m being so generous, what else do you want? Besides, aren’t we both targeting that old fossil?"

Han Yi raised an eyebrow. He wasn’t interested in those things either. "My target is Mei Shuping and his son. Frankly, they are already quite worn out by me."

Chen Haichang nodded in realization, expressing his understanding, "Got it, got it, say no more. Just don’t go too far."

"Not too far, just stop helping Ye Qing."

"Haha, so that’s it, don’t worry. She’s not within my protection range. I just promised to help her deal with Li Kaiying. Just to let you know, she borrowed some money from me last year to acquire a small shoe factory. It’s doing quite well. Now, she’s taking her son to G City to expand the business and waiting for Mei Langchi to come out."

"Hmph, if you hadn’t gone out of your way, she would have been a street rat by now."

"What’s the difference between a day earlier or later when it comes to her downfall? In some matters, without a woman behind it, a man can hardly stir up anything. Don’t you agree?"

"Hmph, is that so," Han Yi gave him a cold glance, then called the waiter over.

Chen Haichang thought he was about to settle the bill, so he quickly stood up, gesturing for him to sit down, "This one’s on me, on me, consider it an apology for yesterday’s abruptness."

"Who would act politely with you," Han Yi gave him a foolish look. When the server arrived, he quickly glanced at the menu and ordered a few dishes, "I’ll take these to go, please, and no spice for the rice noodles."

"Okay, comrade, please wait a moment,"

"Haha, at our first meeting, taking food to go so nonchalantly is easy to look down upon," Chen Haichang placed a hand on the chair and laughed.

Han Yi was indifferent, raising his head to give an inscrutable comment, "You must still be single, right?"

Chen Haichang was taken aback, "What does that have to do with anything?"

"Talking about these things with someone who doesn’t understand love is just playing the lute to a cow. My wife and child are still hungry at home. Who cares about losing face? It’s free anyway, so why not let them have a good meal. I’m naturally frugal and won’t put on airs for appearance’s sake."

Han Yi’s words left Zhang Haichang speechless. He was indeed single, unmarried, and for over thirty years, apart from his mom, he really hadn’t cared for anyone.

"Judging by your expression, it’s true. Out of kindness, I’ll remind you. The bloodline of the Mei Family has its good and bad. You should pay attention. You can now learn from me to avoid becoming a heartless man in the future."

"Don’t worry, I’m a Chen. Naturally, I follow the Chen Family’s disposition and will never become one of the Mei Family."

...

"I’m back, must be starving, right?"

"Daddy, Xingxing’s rice noodles!"
