CHAPTER 573: CHAPTER 573 AN KUNLUN

Ye Guichen could easily hear the disdain in Wang Ying’s words.

Although he didn’t know why this woman was targeting him as soon as they met, Ye Guichen couldn’t be bothered to entertain Wang Ying and simply ignored her.

Wang Ying was infuriated, gritting her teeth.

She had never been provoked in such a silent manner before.

But in the presence of so many people, she could not afford to lose her temper.

Ye Guichen looked at Wang Xiao and said, "Since there is such a place, I must go there. Could I trouble Mr. Wang to send someone to lead the way?"

"Have you made up your mind?" Wang Xiao looked at Ye Guichen in surprise.

Places like that require immense courage to visit.

Even for someone like him, Wang Xiao, he had to consider carefully before going.

But he could see that Ye Guichen didn’t seem to care at all.

"Alright, since that’s the case, let Xiao Ying take you there." After a moment, Wang Xiao laughed heartily and pointed at Wang Ying.

"Grandpa, I..." Wang Ying was about to refuse when someone hurried over from the distance, "The people from Azure Dragon Commerce are here."

Wang Xiao raised an eyebrow, "Didn’t expect them to arrive so soon."

Ye Guichen stood up, "Since Mr. Wang has guests, I will take my leave now."

Su Jiu’er followed Ye Guichen, ready to leave.

Duan Nanye clearly had more to say but hesitated for a moment before also preparing to leave.

Wang Xiao stopped them, "Mr. Ye, we got along so well at first sight, why not have a meal before you go? Besides, you are no stranger to the people from Azure Dragon Commerce, what’s the harm in meeting them?"

Ye Guichen had naturally dealt with the people from Azure Dragon Commerce many times.

However, he had only heard of, but never met, the high-ranking officials of Azure Dragon Commerce.

Anyone who could meet with someone like Wang Xiao must hold an extraordinary position within Azure Dragon Commerce.

Ye Guichen hesitated slightly, "Then it would be disrespectful to refuse."

No matter what, Ye Guichen would have to face Azure Dragon Commerce sooner or later.

Since that’s the case, it didn’t matter to meet today.

Soon, two people arrived from outside.

An elderly man with graying hair and beard, who looked over sixty, but his eyes were sharp like lightning, and his steps were steady. Clearly a martial arts master.

Next to the old man was a burly young man, about twenty-five years old, roughly Wang Ying’s age.

When this young man looked at others, his gaze was filled with undisguised contempt, as if no one was worthy of his attention.

Wang Ying snorted when she saw them and turned her head away.

However, the young man’s proud expression immediately changed to one of fawning when he saw Wang Ying. He quickly walked over to Wang Ying and said, "Xiao Ying, we meet again."

His manner was as greasy as a lecher’s.

Wang Ying twitched her mouth with disdain, "An Kunlun, we are not that familiar, don’t address me so intimately."

"Hehe, Xiao Ying, what are you talking about? How could we not be familiar? I know your thoughts, across all of Jinling, you look down on other wimps. Only someone who can defeat you can be your match. Don’t worry, as long as you give me a chance, I will show mercy to you."

As he spoke, the man named An Kunlun moved closer, seemingly unconcerned with Wang Xiao’s presence.

Wang Ying retreated several steps in disgust, hiding behind Wang Xiao, "Grandpa..."

Wang Xiao coughed.

An Kunlun smiled awkwardly, as if noticing Wang Xiao for the first time, and quickly bent over to salute, "Grandpa, Kunlun greets Grandpa."

Wang Xiao nodded without saying much.

At this moment, An Kunlun also noticed Ye Guichen and the others.

Frowning, he asked, "Who are you?"

"Hey, this is my house. It’s none of your business who they are!" Wang Ying rebuked him, "And if you have something to say, say it. If not, please leave!"

Her tone had no hint of respect.

An Kunlun was about to ask more questions when the elder approached, "Kunlun, stand back."

Although unwilling, An Kunlun looked at the elder, muttered, and obediently stepped back.

"Mr. Wang, I didn’t expect you to have guests!" The elder was none other than the great secretary of Azure Dragon Commerce, An Cangsheng.

An Cangsheng had noticed Ye Guichen and the others upon entering.

Given that those who could sit with Wang Xiao would not be ordinary people.

Moreover, Wang Xiao surely knew he came today to represent Azure Dragon Commerce in an admonishment.

With outsiders present, it would undoubtedly be a bit awkward.

To his surprise, Wang Xiao not only kept the outsiders but also showed no intention of welcoming him.

After greeting, An Cangsheng didn’t rush to sit down, waiting for Wang Xiao’s response.

Wang Xiao understood An Cangsheng’s intentions clearly.

The Azure Dragon Commerce president had seven secretaries under him, united in appearance but divided at heart.

But each one was highly capable.

Especially this great secretary, An Cangsheng, who was like a dragon among men.

He had two sons, the elder being An Shengtian, said to be an all-around talent, and the younger, An Kunlun, a martial arts expert.

The vastness of Jinling bred many talents, and Wang Xiao took great pride in his granddaughter, Wang Ying.

In all of Jinling, fewer than five young people could defeat his granddaughter, yet An Kunlun was terrifyingly strong, consistently besting Wang Ying.

This was precisely why An Kunlun relentlessly pursued Wang Ying and challenged her every time they met.

After all, Wang Ying had vowed only to marry someone who could defeat her.

Of course, knowing she couldn’t beat An Kunlun, Wang Ying despised him and usually avoided him.

No one expected An Cangsheng to bring An Kunlun with him this time.

"Secretary An, what brings you here?" Wang Xiao pondered briefly, then looked up and asked pleasantly.

An Cangsheng did not mince words, glancing at Wang Ying, then sighed, "Ah, Mr. Wang, we have known each other for a long time. I am aware of the relationship between our president and yourself. The president had asked me to tell you before, let the lower ranks mess around, but you, in your old age, don’t get too involved. However, an hour ago, the president received information that Wang Ying interfered in matters she shouldn’t have. Because of this, the president scolded me severely, leaving me no choice but to come and clarify with you."

Wang Xiao feigned innocence, "Secretary An, what do you mean? Did Wang Ying stir up trouble again?"

"No way? Didn’t Xiao Ying tell you?" An Cangsheng was equally surprised, "Mr. Wang, many people died at Longwang Villa, and those people belonged to our president. Are you unaware?"

"Does this have anything to do with Xiao Ying?"

"Ah, it seems you really don’t know." An Cangsheng traded riddles with Wang Xiao, walked to the stone table, and then seemed to notice Ye Guichen and the others, "Mr. Wang, who are they?"

Wang Xiao introduced, "Oh, this is Duan Nanye, this is Ye Guichen, and this young lady is Su Jiu’er, the granddaughter of that old man, Sunan King."

He made no effort to conceal anything.

An Cangsheng’s eyelids twitched upon hearing this, and he quickly clasped his hands, "Oh, the granddaughter of Sunan King, you are indeed beautiful. From what I know, Mr. Su is not much to look at, but to think he could have such a lovely granddaughter!"

He politely addressed Su Jiu’er but completely ignored Ye Guichen and Duan Nanye.

Duan Nanye knew that these people were old foxes. Since they wanted to embarrass him, he felt slightly uncomfortable.

Ye Guichen didn’t mind, sitting there quietly without any intention of leaving.

An Kunlun frowned, "Hey, do you guys have any sense? My father and Grandpa Wang are going to discuss matters. Why are you still here? Get out!"

As he spoke, he advanced on them, intending to grab Ye Guichen and Duan Nanye by the shoulders and throw them out.
