The Hidden Dragon In-Law-Chapter 56 – Patricia Song invited Patricia

James Ye ordered his men to drag the five individuals up, his voice cold as ice, "Today, I'm sparing your pathetic lives, but if any of you dare to leak what happened here, I'll take your lives. Do you understand?"

The five men nodded frantically.

To be able to walk away with their lives was already a stroke of luck amidst misfortune; none of them dared to defy James Ye.

Seeing that the five were thoroughly subdued, James nodded in satisfaction and turned to Jeffrey Liu, Susan Liu's father, "You conned my brother, so you must pay the price. Tomorrow, transfer the ownership of the restaurant to my brother and get out with your daughter. Understood?"

Jeffrey Liu nodded vigorously, "Understood, I'll leave tomorrow!"

James then addressed Jason Zhao, Roy Zhao's father, "Your son cuckolded my brother and beat him severely. Tomorrow, you will compensate my brother with two million. Not a penny less. Got it?"

Jason Zhao quickly replied, "Mr. Ye, I'll transfer the money to your brother tomorrow!"

Satisfied, James turned to Lord Hong's men, "Alright, throw this trash out!"

The men immediately dragged the five out.

Once they were gone, James said to Brother Biao, "Brother Biao, you did well this time."

Brother Biao's face lit up with joy, "Mr. Ye, it was my duty!"

James said calmly, "I'll have someone transfer two million to your account as a reward."

Brother Biao was ecstatic, bowing repeatedly, "Thank you, Mr. Ye!"

Though he had earned quite a bit working under Lord Hong, Lord Hong was never this generous, giving two million in one go.

James sent a text to Charles Chen, asking him to handle the transfer for Brother Biao. Though he had plenty of money in his own account, it was inconvenient to manage it at the moment.

A minute later, the money was in Brother Biao's account.

Overwhelmed with excitement, Brother Biao kept bowing to James.

James then turned to Lord Hong, "Lord Hong, I assume you don't care for this two million."

Lord Hong quickly replied, "Mr. Ye, it's my honor to assist you."

James nodded, "I'll remember this favor. I'll give you a chance to rise to greater heights in the future."

Hearing this, Lord Hong immediately knelt down and kowtowed to James.

For Lord Hong, it wasn't about the money; he wanted to climb higher. But for someone in his line of work, rising up was incredibly difficult.

Charles Chen was someone he had always wanted to curry favor with, but Charles had never looked up to him because of his lowly and dirty background.

Now, with just a word from James, there was a real chance Charles might help him out, paving the way for his future ascent!

After rewarding his men, James turned to Michael Wang, "Are you satisfied with today's outcome?"

Michael was deeply shocked.

He couldn't understand how James had become so powerful.

Even the underground king of Jinling had to kneel before him!

It took him a while to snap out of his daze, "Satisfied! Very satisfied!"

James said, "I've vented your anger, got the restaurant back for you, and secured two million in compensation. From now on, you'll have to walk your own path!"

Michael immediately said, "James, I'll be forever grateful to you! I'll do anything you ask, no questions asked!"

James nodded, "First, focus on recovering. Once you're healed, manage the restaurant well. If I need anything from you, I'll let you know."

Michael repeatedly assured, "I'll be at your service anytime!"

James added, "Oh, and don't mention today's events to anyone. I don't want others to know my identity. Understand?"

Michael quickly nodded, "I understand. Even if I die, I won't say a word!"

James nodded, "I'll arrange for two caretakers to look after you. Rest well. I'm leaving now."

...

Back home, James didn't tell his wife, Mary Xiao, about what happened today.

He didn't want her to know too much; the less she knew, the safer she would be.

The next day, while out buying groceries, he suddenly received a call. To his surprise, it was from Patricia Song, the owner of Jiqingtang and the Song family's heiress.

James was puzzled. What could Patricia want with him?

Answering the call, Patricia's voice came through, "Mr. Ye, I apologize for the intrusion. Please forgive me."

James instinctively asked, "Is there a problem with the Yuhuchun vase I repaired?"

Patricia quickly replied, "No, not at all. I'm calling for another matter."

James responded, "Go ahead."

Patricia explained, "I've recently taken an interest in an item but I'm unsure about it. Given your expertise in antiques, I'd like to hire you to take a look. Would you be interested?"

James wasn't particularly interested in appraising antiques, but he was currently in need of some spiritually infused items. He asked, "Can you tell me what it is?"

Patricia answered, "It's an ancient jade piece. The seller claims it has calming, protective, and fortune-enhancing properties."

James's mind raced.

The "Nine Mysterious Heavenly Scriptures" he had stumbled upon mentioned something about spiritual items.

Such spiritually infused treasures were highly beneficial to people. He was eager to find out if such treasures truly existed in the world. He agreed, "Alright, I'll go with you."

Patricia said, "Thank you, Mr. Ye. I'll pick you up at eight tomorrow morning."

"Okay."

After hanging up, James pondered.

The wealthy greatly valued antiques that could adjust Feng Shui, calm the mind, and ward off evil. He could use this opportunity to interact with them more and see if any opportunities arose.

The next morning.

Patricia arrived on time to pick up James.

Once James got in the car, Patricia said, "Mr. Ye, several other people from Jinling will also be vying for this ancient jade today. The competition will be fierce."

James nodded, "It doesn't matter how many people there are. What matters is the quality of the item. If it's good, the number of people won't be an issue. I believe in your capability, Miss Song. If you truly want the treasure, no one can stop you."

Patricia smiled, "You're too kind, Mr. Ye. As the saying goes, 'There are always mountains beyond mountains and people beyond people.' Even in Jinling, there are countless hidden talents far superior to me."

James feigned surprise, "Really? Isn't the Song family the most powerful in Jinling?"

Patricia laughed, "That's just on the surface. For instance, the new chairman of the Dihao Group. One Dihao Group is worth more than our entire Song family. That person's capabilities are truly unfathomable."

She sighed, "I really want to meet this big shot, but he's too mysterious. There's no way to get close."

A quick look at " will leave you more fulfilled.
