Not long after, Landon went to find his son.
As he entered the hall, he saw Ye Si comforting a Chinese girl on the couch. The girl appeared to be greatly distressed.
The Arctic Fox kept a close eye on Ye Si's every move. Seeing this girl, Landon immediately thought of the incident at the airport when Ye Si made a big fuss to pick up a Chinese girl. It must be her.
From this, it was clear that this girl was different from the other women who had been around Ye Si before. The realization weighed heavily on Landon's mind.
He had thought that Ye Si was just taking advantage of the situation. He never expected his son, who was more prone to causing trouble than achieving success, to have truly stirred up someone's emotions.
As soon as Ye Si saw Landon, his anger surged, and he snatched a gun from one of his subordinates, pointing it directly at Landon.
"You old man, you really dare to come."
Landon was startled and instinctively moved aside. Everyone in the Arctic Fox knew that Ye Si was a fearless madman.
If you really provoked him, he would not hesitate to shoot and even overturn the entire Arctic Fox.
Landon hurriedly said, "I came here to apologize to Gavin and this young lady. Today's incident was my son's fault."
"Lucas is still young and ignorant. I hope Gavin, as an adult, can overlook his mistake and spare him."
Landon wished he could personally slap his useless son.
As the most formidable corps of the Arctic Fox, Ye Si had always wanted to lead the 791 Corps out of the Arctic Fox and had made it known to the higher-ups.
Naturally, the Arctic Fox's higher-ups were unwilling to let Ye Si take this force away and become dominant on his own, which would make it even harder for them to thrive in Country M.
They asked Ye Si to either abandon this idea and stay in the Arctic Fox, in charge of the 791 Corps, or leave with nothing, leaving behind the 791 Corps.
Alternatively, they demanded an equivalent exchange.
They had their eyes on the forces in Ye Si's hands, and recently they had deliberately caused a lot of trouble to test Ye Si's patience.
Their intention was to make Ye Si, who had always wanted to leave the Arctic Fox, agree to the exchange.
They knew Ye Si's temper well and didn't dare to provoke him directly or confront him head-on. They didn't have much confidence in their chances.
Unexpectedly, Lucas had caused this incident, directly breaking the impasse and giving Ye Si an opportunity.
Ye Si said, "Since your son is still young and you can't discipline him properly, then let him stay with me. I'll take care of him and send him back to you when he's well-behaved."
How could Landon not know what Ye Si wanted to do?
He nodded slightly and said, "I understand. I will go back to the Arctic Fox and discuss with everyone to find a satisfactory solution as soon as possible."
Ye Si replied, "I'm not that patient. If you can't satisfy me within two days, you better pray that you can have another child."
Landon's face turned grim, but he didn't dare to anger Ye Si.
As Landon left, Ye Si returned the gun to his subordinate and comfortably sat back on the couch. He picked up a peeled orange from the fruit tray and fed a segment to Qiao Ying.
"Darling, how would you rate my acting just now?"
Qiao Ying dodged and took a sip of water from the table.
Ye Si put the orange in his mouth.
Qiao Ying asked, "What is Landon's influence like in the Arctic Fox?"
Ye Si replied, "It's alright. He's at the elder level, and this guy has made connections with quite a few people in the Arctic Fox."
"The Arctic Fox was already hesitant to provoke me, and now with this incident, they are even more afraid that I will take advantage of the opportunity to do something impulsive."
"Instead of prying things out of my mouth, I believe they would be more willing to dig into their own pockets and buy 791 for me. Landon, that old man, is going to be heavily exploited by the Arctic Fox. From now on, he will just be a backdrop in the Arctic Fox," Ye Si said with a smile.
He then raised his chin and leaned in to look at Qiao Ying with a smile.
He praised, "It's better that you took action. It saved me a lot of trouble. I was actually planning to directly fall out with the Arctic Fox."
He then thought of something and asked seriously, "Darling, you didn't really get into the role and let Lucas take advantage of you, did you?"
His eyes were sharp, believing that if Qiao Ying said yes, he could immediately go and kill Lucas.
"I can't be taken advantage of by Landon, let alone Lucas," Qiao Ying said, getting up and preparing to go upstairs.
Ye Si chased after and asked, "If I were taken advantage of by that old man, would you avenge me?"
Qiao Ying had no expression on her face and said helplessly, "Yes."
Two days later,
Landon appeared just before the deadline.
As Ye Si had expected, Landon paid out of his own pocket and handed over a lot of real power, "buying" the 791 Corps for Ye Si.
Seeing Landon's bankrupt appearance with his beard turning completely white, Ye Si burst out laughing right in front of him.
He couldn't hold back even for another minute.
This arrogance made Landon so angry that he almost spat blood on the spot.
Ye Si had someone bring Lucas up and asked Landon to take him home, not forgetting to let Landon discipline him well.
Seeing Ye Si taking advantage and acting coy, Landon's blood boiled. After getting in the car, he began to scold his useless son.
If the 791 Corps wanted to completely break away from the Arctic Fox, there were still many dark web connections and handovers to be dealt with.
It wouldn't be too smooth, I believe.
So Qiao Ying waited for Ye Si to handle everything before leaving.
A few days later,
A dozen servants came in carrying a dozen high-end evening dresses.
Ye Si said, "Darling, there's a banquet tomorrow night."
Qiao Ying replied, "I'm not going."
"Just go. I've prepared everything for you, the dress, headpiece, jewelry, shoes, brooch, hairstylist, makeup artist, everything," Ye Si pleaded.
"Take your female companions," Qiao Ying said.
Ye Si immediately came closer, his eyes gleaming, and a brilliant smile on his face. "Are you jealous, darling?"
Qiao Ying couldn't be bothered to deal with him.
Ye Si pestered her all day, but Qiao Ying didn't agree.
The next day,
Approaching evening,
Ye Si, who was already dressed and ready to attend the banquet, was waiting.
At this time, a car stopped outside the villa, and a person came in.
Cheng Jinyan arrived before his voice, saying, "Ye Si, you bastard. You sent a car to pick me up. You cheapskate."
As he approached, he saw Ye Si dressed in a formal suit and looked grand. Cheng Jinyan approached and adjusted his clothes, taking a look.
"You're quite well-prepared. Fine, since you've dressed up specially to welcome me, I'll forgive you," Cheng Jinyan said.
Unexpectedly, Ye Si looked at him and asked provocatively, "How did you come here? Did I send a car to pick you up? No, right? Don't tell me you took a taxi and forced yourself to save face."
Cheng Jinyan: "???"
Ye Si brushed off his hand without mercy. "Don't dirty my clothes. I still have to accompany my sweetheart for a dance tonight."
Cheng Jinyan asked, "Where are you going?"
Ye Si replied, "To a banquet."
Cheng Jinyan inquired, "What about my clothes?"
Ye Si instructed the nearby servant, "Take him to my dressing room and let him pick an outfit."
Cheng Jinyan became quite emotional. "You didn't prepare anything for me? And you want me to wear old clothes? You really favor women over men."
Ye Si retorted, "I wear a set of clothes and throw it away. When have you ever seen me wear old clothes?"
Cheng Jinyan exclaimed, "Then I don't want yours either. Get me a well-fitting one, not a tailcoat."
Ye Si said, "Sweetheart, there are over ten leftover formal dresses. There's one with a high slit that suits you perfectly. Go and put it on."
While they were talking,
The sound of high heels tapping against the floor echoed from the second floor.
They looked up, and their eyes were filled with astonishment.
Ye Si gazed at Qiao Ying on the second floor and burst into laughter, completely mesmerized.
