CHAPTER 452: CHAPTER 452: HE IS YE CHEN

"Grandfather, I did manage to purchase the Jade Ring, but on my way out, I was targeted and, as a result, the Jade Ring has been stolen by someone."

"What did you say? The Jade Ring was snatched away? And the two people with you, are they useless? What were they doing?"

"Grandfather, they tried their best to stop it from happening, but the other party’s martial arts skills were too strong, and they were no match, resulting in a quick defeat."

"Do you realize what the Jade Ring means to our family? I entrusted you with such an important task in hopes that you could handle it well, but you have truly let me down."

"Grandfather, rest assured, I’m already thinking of a solution."

"Thinking of a solution? What solution could you possibly have? You are completely unfamiliar with Jiangzhou, you’ve never made contacts there, and the network of relationships is extremely intricate. The only reason I haven’t intervened is because I was worried about attracting their attention. Now it seems I’ll have to step in after all."

It was evident from the phone call that Guo Tao was indeed disappointed.

"Grandfather, I’ve met someone here who is quite enthusiastic about my issue. He has promised to help me retrieve the Jade Ring, so I think we should wait a little longer. If it really doesn’t work out, then it won’t be too late for you to intervene, right?"

"What? You’ve met someone? You’ve only arrived in Jiangzhou yesterday, how could you have made a new acquaintance so quickly? He’s probably a swindler. You never fail to worry me. Let me handle it instead."

"Grandfather, honestly, I can feel that this person is definitely not tricking me. I could swear on my life that there won’t be any problem."

After saying this, Guo Tao paused for a moment, knowing his grandson better than anyone else. Could it be that he really ran into a noble person?

"If that’s the case, then tell me, who is this person?"

In fact, Guo Tao suspected that someone must have recognized Guo Hongyu and knew his identity, seeking to curry favor with the Guo Family by taking this opportunity.

"Grandfather, his name is Ye Chen. Have you heard of him?"

"What? You said Ye Chen? Are you certain it’s Ye Chen?"

Guo Tao sounded somewhat incredulous over the phone.

"Of course, I’m sure. He told me himself that his name is Ye Chen. Surely, that can’t be a lie?"

"If it is indeed Ye Chen, then I’m willing to observe and see what he’s capable of and whether he can secure the Jade Ring."

Guo Hongyu, though inexperienced in the ways of the world, could still sense the implications of these words.

At first, Grandfather had doubts about his ability to handle this matter on his own, emphasizing the need to intervene.

However, when the name Ye Chen was mentioned, it seemed to completely shift his grandfather’s stance.

"Grandfather, from what you’re saying, it seems like you’ve heard of Ye Chen? Who exactly is he?"

"Let me tell you, Ye Chen is no ordinary person. He caused quite a stir in Jiangzhou, and while many people wanted to deal with him, none have truly succeeded."

"What? Grandfather, are you saying that Ye Chen is really that powerful?"

Guo Hongyu only knew Ye Chen as a kind-hearted person but never imagined he could be so formidable.

This indeed came as a surprise to Guo Hongyu.

Guo Tao was always a proud man, hardly paying any attention to ordinary people. There were very few people he considered noteworthy in this world.

But now, when it came to Ye Chen, he seemed to hold him in high regard.

If that was the case, it suggested that Ye Chen really had some capabilities, and perhaps, there was hope for the return of the Jade Ring.

"Indeed, he is extremely powerful. If he gets involved, I believe the outcome will certainly be different. Alright, now wait patiently out there and inform me immediately if there’s any news, understand?"

"Okay, Grandfather, I understand. I’m waiting here for news from that end, and I will call you the moment I hear something."

"Remember, when you’re out there on your own, think carefully before doing anything. Also, consult with the two people with you, don’t make decisions rashly. Even if Ye Chen is as powerful as you say, we can’t pin all our hopes on him alone, got it?"

"Alright, Grandfather, I got it."

"That’s all then, we’ll contact each other by phone if anything arises, be careful out there."

After that, Guo Tao hung up the phone.

Guo Hongyu stood there, holding the phone, dazed for a long time.

He had never imagined that the person who had suddenly dropped from the sky would turn out to be so outstanding.

Even Guo Tao had nothing but praise for him, and with that, it was likely that things would go as he wished.

At this moment, Guo Tao was sitting in a spacious study.

Several people were sitting opposite him, his group of advisors who often helped him strategize and handle various matters.

"Patriarch, what’s going on? Has the Jade Ring been lost?"

Although they were separated by a table, they could still tell that there must have been some significant problems with the car auction in Jiangzhou.

"Indeed, the Jade Ring is lost, but I don’t know who’s behind it. With a bit of investigation, I believe we can uncover the truth."

"Then what are we waiting for, Patriarch? Let’s quickly arrange for people to go to Jiangzhou. Moreover, with the young master there alone, he surely won’t be able to handle everything. If necessary, let’s lend him our support."
