"Ye Qiu, Ye Qiu! Where did this formidable guy come from?!"
Mumbling Ye Qiu's name and recalling the scene of being beaten by Ye Qiu, Poisonous Snake couldn't help but grit his teeth!!!
Being suddenly bullied by a stranger appearing out of nowhere isn't a good feeling for anyone!
The same goes for Poisonous Snake, who feels inwardly furious about it!!!
However, Poisonous Snake has to admit that Ye Qiu's strength is indeed superior to his; he was completely outmatched in their previous encounters!!!
So, after a moment of fury, Poisonous Snake managed to tamp down his anger!
Nonetheless, even though he suppressed his anger, it doesn't mean Poisonous Snake doesn't bear a grudge against Ye Qiu!
He still resents Ye Qiu, waiting for the day his strength surpasses Ye Qiu's. He'll then immediately settle scores and show Ye Qiu his prowess!!
"Beep beep, beep beep..."
At that moment, Poisonous Snake's phone suddenly rang, and he picked it up irritably to take a look.
However, upon seeing the caller ID, his expression shifted instantly. He hurriedly answered the call.
"Master Ma."
With a humble attitude and some apprehension, mixed with respect, Poisonous Snake greeted the person on the other end after answering the call.
"Poisonous Snake, how's the task I assigned to you progressing?"
A voice rang out from the other end of the call, carrying an authoritative tone without anger.
"I'm still investigating, but I've already found some clues. It shouldn't take much longer to find the person you want, Master Ma."
Upon hearing this, Poisonous Snake quickly responded, feeling somewhat uneasy.
"Alright, then I'll give you a bit more time. If you fail to get results, I'll have to consider handing this task over to someone else!"
The person on the other end snorted coldly, reminding Poisonous Snake.
"I understand, Master Ma, don't worry, just wait for my good news!"
Then, trying to please, Poisonous Snake said a few words before the call was disconnected,
finally exhaling a sigh of relief, feeling a cold sweat running down his spine.
He had no choice, given the person on the other end is truly a significant figure!!!
Don't be deceived by Poisonous Snake being a Gang Realm-level powerhouse, intimidating in West Mansion City, and feared by many.
However, in front of Master Ma on the other end of the phone, he's no more than a green worm, merely a subordinate to be ordered around.
His presence in West Mansion City is due to Master Ma's task of finding someone in West Mansion City.
Someone named Ge Zhou.
This is his main reason for coming to West Mansion City.
Nevertheless, it's been over a month since he arrived in West Mansion City, and he still hasn't found Ge Zhou, only coming across some ambiguous clues without a chance to confirm them.
For this reason, Master Ma must be getting impatient, which is why he suddenly called to inquire about the progress.
Fortunately, it was just a warning; if Master Ma truly loses patience, perhaps he'd have someone else take over the task.
By then, Poisonous Snake's fate would be quite miserable.
Because for Master Ma, he doesn't need useless underlings!!!
Towards useless subordinates, Master Ma has only one method of dealing with them—eliminating them!!!
"Looks like I must speed up the process."
With this thought, Poisonous Snake became somewhat anxious.
He decided to stop dwelling on Ye Qiu, planning to first complete the task given by Master Ma and find Ge Zhou before dealing with other matters.
Thus, Poisonous Snake began mobilizing some forces he controlled in West Mansion City these days to search for Ge Zhou's whereabouts.
...
Meanwhile, having left the investigations to the Black Tiger Association's street thugs, whose efficiency was surprisingly good,
this gave Ye Qiu a significant relief, even though he continued seeking Ge Zhou's whereabouts, but at least he had occasional moments to rest.
Additionally, there was a small incident.
Because Ye Qiu rescued Zhou Jing, and solved the loan shark problem for her family, both Zhou Jing and her mother were very grateful to Ye Qiu.
To thank Ye Qiu, Zhou Jing's family invited him to their home for dinner.
After some consideration, Ye Qiu agreed.
Though for him, Zhou Jing's family's issue was merely a minor matter, to Zhou Jing and her family, it was a huge favor.
If Ye Qiu refused, such grace could become a burden to Zhou Jing's family, causing them to keep brooding over the matter.
Thus, Ye Qiu came to Zhou Jing's house as promised and stayed for a meal.
"Ye Qiu, thank you so much. If it weren't for your help, we don't know what would have become of our family."
At the dinner table, Zhou Jing's mother, perhaps relieved from debt pressure, looked much better and said with a smile, nudging Zhou Jing's shoulder to remind her, "Jingjing, don't forget to offer more dishes to him."
Hearing this, Zhou Jing blushed slightly, bashfully picked up some meat with chopsticks, put it into Ye Qiu's bowl, and softly said to Ye Qiu, "Ye Qiu, thank you."
"Auntie, you're too kind. Zhou Jing and I are friends; I couldn't possibly not help my friend?"
Ye Qiu smiled at Zhou Jing, then turned to Zhou Jing's mother, saying,"Besides, to me, it was just a small thing, you don't need to think too much about it."
Hearing Ye Qiu say that, Zhou Jing's mother looked at Ye Qiu with even greater satisfaction.
After they finished eating happily, Zhou Jing's mother secretly pulled Zhou Jing aside to remind her, "Jingjing, don't miss out on such a good man; you must hold on tight."
"Mom, what are you talking about? I've only just met Ye Qiu."
Hearing this, Zhou Jing's face blushed a bit again, she explained with embarrassment.
However, her mom's next words left Zhou Jing somewhat speechless: "He's only just met you, yet he's helped us out so much, even cleared all that high-interest loan for us?"
