Chapter 139 - Meeting Nie Yuling Again

When Ye Fan clearly saw the stunning face of the woman at the door of the private room, he couldn’t help but stand up in surprise.

Seeing Ye Fan, her pretty face also showed a look of surprise, and her footsteps paused for a moment.

However, she immediately regained her composure, and with an imperceptible nod, she signaled to Ye Fan not to make a fuss.

Ye Fan quickly suppressed his surprise and calmly watched as she entered with several men.

The young man in a white shirt and black trousers who had led Ye Fan in stepped forward to introduce: “Mr.

Ye, this is our boss, Miss Nie.”

“Hehe, Miss Nie, hello,” Ye Fan said with a smile.

Nie Yuling maintained an indifferent expression and nodded slightly, “Hello, Mr.

Ye.

Please have a seat.”

After sitting down face-to-face with Nie Yuling, Ye Fan stated his purpose and casually inquired about the situation at the Heroic Bar.

However, it wasn’t Nie Yuling who answered about the Heroic Bar but a middle-aged man in a black vest standing behind her.

After about five or six minutes, Nie Yuling sent her subordinates out, wanting to talk to Ye Fan alone.

The men behind her immediately showed concern, saying, “Miss.”

Nie Yuling shook her head slightly, “It’s okay.

You leave, close the door, and stand outside.”

Her subordinates could only nod, respectfully leaving the room and closing the door.

With no one else around, Nie Yuling’s gaze immediately became sharp, and she coldly questioned: “What exactly are you?”

“Hehe,” Ye Fan smiled calmly, ignoring Nie Yuling’s intense gaze and deflecting the question, “I didn’t expect to encounter you here.”

“Answer my question,” Nie Yuling insisted.

Ye Fan shrugged and said with a light smile, “You are like a frightened bird.

It seems your recent days have not been so good.”

Seeing that Nie Yuling still kept a close watch on him, Ye Fan finally said, “Our meeting that day was purely coincidental, so you don’t need to suspect that I have ulterior motives.

I hinted from the beginning that I am not an ordinary person.”

Nie Yuling thought about it and found that her getting into Ye Fan’s car and asking for help that day was indeed random; thus, Ye Fan couldn’t have had any ulterior motives.

With this in mind, her gaze softened, and her stunning face revealed a slightly embarrassed smile, “I’m sorry, I’ve indeed been a bit on edge lately.”

“Hehe, it’s okay.

I’m always generous with beauties,” Ye Fan chuckled, “This bar is very nice.

Why are you thinking of selling it?”

“I have no choice, we’re understaffed,” Nie Yuling relaxed, leaning tiredly back on the sofa.

Ye Fan nodded, guessing that it must mostly be due to troubles caused by traitors in the Qingmu Gang, coupled with oppression from the Qinglang Association, forcing her to downsize.

“Need help?” he asked again.

Nie Yuling shook her head, “Although I don’t know your background, the power and ferocity of the Qinglang Association are not something you can handle.

You don’t need to get involved.

After all, you and I don’t have much of a connection.”

“Since you say so, alright then,” Ye Fan nodded, “But, as I said: when you truly need help, call me, and you’ll be surprised.”

Even though she had shared a night of passion with him, and he was her first man, she was unwilling to admit it, and he couldn’t do anything about it.

Nie Yuling gave a faint smile, not treating it as lightly as the previous two times, but she still believed that Ye Fan couldn’t solve her fundamental problem.

The Qinglang Association was too powerful and brutal.

She said, “This bar is not a good place, even if transferred, the Qinglang Association might not let it go.

So, I suggest you not buy it.”

“Others fear the Qinglang Association, but I may not,” Ye Fan said casually, “This bar is very good.

I have a friend who wants to own a bar, so I will buy it.

Name your price, no need for a friendly discount.

I’m not short on cash.”

“Not short on cash?” Nie Yuling couldn’t help but recall the passionate night, and the morning after when she had actually given him a million-dollar check.

Judging from his tone now, he clearly didn’t care about the million dollars.

Thinking of this, she couldn’t help reminiscing about that crazy night.

Even after so many days, the wonderful feeling was still so profound and unforgettable.

She couldn’t help but look at Ye Fan, just as he looked up, a shame welled up within her, forcing her to avert her gaze and avoid eye contact with Ye Fan.

Unaware of what Nie Lingyu was thinking, Ye Fan, seeing her saying nothing, urged her to name a price.

“Twenty million.” Nie Lingyu suppressed her thoughts and said, “After the transfer to you, the basic staff will not be withdrawn.

In fact, they have no direct ties to the Qingmu Gang, just ordinary workers.

Of course, the security team will be withdrawn; they are my people.

You’ll have to recruit your own security.”

“Twenty million is no problem,” Ye Fan said.

“However, I’m not free to take over just now; it’ll be about half a month.”

“Half a month?” Nie Lingyu pondered for a moment and shook her head, “Half a month is too long, I can only help you manage it for a week.”

“A week it is,” Ye Fan answered, thinking that with Lu Chengqiang’s character, he could probably only stay in the hospital for another week before possibly escaping in the middle of the night.

Moreover, with Lu Chengqiang withdrawing from the Dragon Group and Ye Fan vouching for him, the procedures would be simplified quite a bit, eliminating the need for the lengthy one-to-three-month review.

“Give a deposit now, and pay the rest in a week,” Nie Lingyu said, “Two million for the deposit.”

“No problem,” Ye Fan responded.

Nie Lingyu paused and then said, “This bar will involve the Qinglang Association, are you sure you really want to buy it?”

“Of course, I want to buy.

Such a good deal, only a fool wouldn’t take advantage of it,” Ye Fan laughed.

The Heroic Bar had a heavy flow of customers, with monthly sales reaching tens of millions, and a net profit fluctuating between two and three million.

Buying it for twenty million, he would recoup his investment in less than a year.

Under normal circumstances, this bar would never be up for sale.

Nie Yuling had no choice but to nod, knowing it was a trap, but if Ye Fan was set on jumping in, she couldn’t stop him.

“Have your subordinate bring in the contract.

I’ll write you a check, and we can complete the deal now,” Ye Fan said.

Ten minutes later, Ye Fan left the Heroic Bar with the contract in hand and drove away.

A week later, the bar would be his.

Having completed one deal, Ye Fan felt quite relaxed, and next, he would continue to scout locations for a martial arts gym.

Securing such a fine large bar so quickly was purely luck; finding a location for the gym wouldn’t be so easy.

Wandering around all morning, Ye Fan still hadn’t found a suitable place.

In the afternoon, Ye Fan went to work.

However, shortly after three o’clock, a phone call came in, ordering him to immediately leave the office.

“Ye Fan, I’m downstairs at the Emali Group building, you come down immediately, I promise I won’t kill you!” A cold, angry voice demanded.
