Chapter 385: Sha 1’s Horror

There was silence on the phone. Then, the old voice sounded again, “Bing’er, although the Yuan family started as a business family and is now the largest pharmaceutical company in China, our power is far less than that of China’s great families. There are many things we don’t know. The Song and Ye families might have declined; who knows if they aren’t just showing weakness intentionally? No matter what, you should never underestimate a major Chinese family, not even the Ning family.”

“Dad, then this time, should I…” Yuan Qibing’s tone was despondent but respectful.

“Haha, although our Yuan family can’t compare with those big families, we can’t be bullied by any small fry either. If Ye Mo hadn’t disappeared, perhaps we would have to be concerned about the Ye family. But now, there’s only Ning Zhongfei, who left the Ning family, and a recent start-up company. That’s not enough to ride roughshod over us.”

Some joy entered Yuan Qibing’s tone. “Dad, you mean?”

“I’ve already arranged people to handle things in Flowing Snake. You just stay in Beijing for now and make some friends with those big families’ members. As for Ning Qingxue, don’t worry; I will send people to board the same plane as her.”

…

Lan Yu walked onto the streets, sure she was free. She could even go to the police immediately.

But, of course, she wouldn’t do that, because this was America, not China. The first thing she did was find a public phone to call her husband.

Hearing that Lan Yu was fine, Ning Zhongfei was very excited. He told Lan Yu to come back and cancelled his plans to go to America.

Lan Yu was scared her husband would worry, so she didn’t tell him she had been kidnapped and just said she’d lost her phone.

Ning Zhongfei then wanted to call his daughter, but her phone was off. He guessed she might have gone to the US.

She was probably still on the plane.

…

After his men told him Lan Yu had called home to say she was safe, Sha 1 finally calmed down a little. If Ye Mo knew Lan Yu was safe, he wouldn’t come to the US. If he didn’t come to the US, he wouldn’t find him.

Just as Sha 1 had settled down, his men reported that the gang leader of the Tang Gang, Peng Yueji, was there.

Sha 1 was only afraid of Ye Mo; he wasn’t afraid of anyone else, not even Jason. Although he was far from as strong as Jason, Jason couldn’t kill him. If Jason angered him, he might be the one to kill Jason first.

However, Peng Yueji was still a gang leader. He couldn’t ignore him. Compared to the gangs in Chinatown, his organization was more obscure.

“Invite him in,” Sha 1 said. Although Peng Yueji was a gang leader, he wasn’t important enough for Sha 1 to greet him personally. When Earth Fiend was renowned throughout the world, who had the right to look down on him?

“No need, I’m in already,” a clear voice said, and two people walked in.

Sha 1 knew Peng Yueji, of course. He was in San Francisco, after all.

But he noticed the person speaking wasn’t Peng Yueji. It was the young man in front of him. As a gang leader, Peng Yueji was three steps behind this young man.

“You—” Just as Sha 1 wanted to ask who this young man was, he saw his face and quickly stood up.

“Five States’ Sha 1 greets Ye Mo qianbei,” Sha 1 knelt on one knee.

He knew Ye Mo was very capable, but he didn’t expect him to arrive in the States so quickly, with the Tang Gang’s leader showing him the way.

It had only been a few hours since Lan Yu left. Sha 1’s back sweated uncontrollably; Ye Mo had come too quickly.

Not only was Peng Yueji in a daze, but Ye Mo also looked at Sha 1 confusedly.

Peng Yueji knew his reputation wasn’t as grand as the Five States’ boss. Although they hadn’t been there long, their name was already big. A few small gangs had tried to chase them away, but they all disappeared overnight.

It was unknown whether Jason didn’t care about small interests here, or if he was also concerned about the Five States. Yet today, their boss was kneeling.

“You know me?” Ye Mo asked Sha 1, who only had one arm.

Sha 1 quickly nodded. “Yes, I was once the leader of Earth Fiend. Qianbei killed Ren Sha, and I escaped with my life. I’m very grateful to qianbei.”

Hearing Sha 1’s words, Peng Yueji was shocked. He never thought Sha 1 was Earth Fiend’s former boss. Many stories about Earth Fiend’s disappearance circulated, but none were certain. Peng Yueji finally knew that the hitman organization Earth Fiend, which had terrified the world, had been annihilated by Ye Mo.

He realized he had underestimated his new big brother. Five States’ fame wasn’t that big, but he was sure that if people knew their boss was Earth Fiend’s former boss, no one would dare to mess with them.

Ye Mo nodded. “No wonder when I killed the Gu bugs, two lacked full vitality. One was yours. I think two escaped. I didn’t expect one to be Earth Fiend’s boss.”

“Please have mercy, Ye qianbei. There was only a deep feud between me and Ren Sha. I’m only grateful to qianbei and mean no disrespect,” Sha 1 quickly said. He didn’t expect someone else had escaped.

Ye Mo waved his hand. “You don’t have to put it like that. You escaped thanks to your own capabilities. As for those who mess with me, I never give them a second chance. But I didn’t come here to ask you about this today. Since you know I’m Ye Mo, you’ve done your research. With your capabilities, you can guess why I came.”

“Yes, Ye qianbei. Yesterday, my men were foolish and listened to Fred. He brought CEO Lan to my place. Luckily, CEO Lan revealed her identity, and I immediately brought her to a safe place. I killed those who brought her here, and a black man who tried to assault her. I wanted to kill Fred, but he disappeared,” Sha 1 answered fearfully. He didn’t alter the story.

Ye Mo nodded. Since Sha 1 had recognized Lan Yu’s identity, he wouldn’t dare to do anything to her. Seeing Ye Mo nod, Sha 1 felt relieved and continued, “A few hours ago, I sent her away and ordered two men to secretly protect her. I believe she’s at the airport now.”

At that moment, Ye Mo’s phone rang. It was Shi Kaigen, saying he’d seen Lan Yu at the airport, unharmed.

Ye Mo hung up and said to Sha 1, “Stand up. You did well. I owe you one.”

Sha 1 stood up in surprise and joy; he hadn’t expected Ye Mo to be so easygoing. Not only did he not punish him, he also said he owed him one. Ye Mo’s favor was significant. Sha 1 said excitedly, “Ye qianbei, this is my duty. You’re being too polite.”

Ye Mo waved his hand. “No need. I can help you with one thing within my ability in the future. For now, I’ll be going.”

“Qianbei, I’d like to invite you to dinner,” Sha 1 said, knowing this was a rare opportunity.

Ye Mo said plainly, “I don’t like being around human traffickers.” Then, Ye Mo left with Peng Yueji.
