Chapter 2332 - 2292: Foundation Establishment Stage Third Level Peak

Zhao Ruxue’s biggest worry is actually her sister. If her sister follows Ye Qiu to East Sea, then without anyone there to look after her, it’s hard to say what could happen.

"Ruxue, don’t worry about it. With me around, people wouldn’t dare to act recklessly."

"Didn’t your dad get beaten up?"

Zhao Ruxue spoke directly.

The environment in East Sea couldn’t possibly be the same as in Jinling, right?

"Let’s wait and go over a bit later."

Actually, Ye Qiu came over wanting to make things clear with Zhao Ruxue, and if she also wants to head over, she should start preparing now.

Anyway, if they truly move over there, then he might not come back often.

Zhao Ruxue was silent for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Past ten o’clock at night, Zhao Ruxue still had to work the night shift. After driving Zhao Ruxue back to the City Police Bureau, Ye Qiu drove back to the Peach Blossom Source Villa Community.

The matter of Ye Weidong being beaten today, Ye Weidong hadn’t told anyone else, so Chen Fang and Ye Xue were still unaware.

Upon returning, Ye Qiu saw Ye Weidong smoking a cigar.

Clearly, this incident genuinely frightened Ye Weidong.

In the past, Ye Weidong never had much courage, always fearing this and that, which is why he only managed a small congee and noodle shop for life. If not for Ye Qiu, things might still be the same.

Ye Qiu headed upstairs.

These days, he had been cultivating.

However, he knew he was close to breaking through to the next level of cultivation.

After taking a bath, he looked out the window. Tonight’s moonlight was adequate, so Ye Qiu prepared to continue cultivating.

Before he knew it, Ye Qiu suddenly felt the Moonlight Essence he absorbed streaming into his meridians, more and more, eventually transforming into True Qi gathered in his Dantian.

When his Dantian was fully charged, Ye Qiu knew it was the process of quantitative change leading to qualitative change, which is actually when the cultivation breakthrough happens.

Ye Qiu suddenly felt that dam breaking sensation; instantly, his Dantian surged, while his mind seemed to explode.

In that precise moment, Ye Qiu understood that he had just achieved a breakthrough in his cultivation.

His cultivation progressed from the middle stage of Foundation Establishment Stage level three to the peak of Foundation Establishment Stage level three.

That long-lost feeling of breakthrough was indeed different.

Checking the time, it was only around four in the morning.

It was still early, but Ye Qiu felt his back was damp, likely from sweating profusely during the breakthrough.

Ye Qiu got up to take a shower.

After showering and returning to his room, he didn’t continue cultivating.

The next morning, Ye Qiu got up to freshen up, and Lin Xiang along with Xiaomai were already awake.

"Dad, are you still going to handle things over in East Sea? Maybe it’s better if I take care of it!"

"Then you go handle it."

Ye Weidong didn’t say much more.

After breakfast, Ye Qiu drove towards East Sea.

At this time, Cai Yong and his team had already rented a floor here in the suburbs, serving as their Jiangbei Gang base. They would likely stay here for some time.

Ye Qiu planned to meet the landlord of that store.

Using the address and number Ye Weidong provided, Ye Qiu called the landlord.

"Mr. Yang, I’m Ye Weidong’s son. My dad ran into trouble yesterday; I’m handling the store matters now."

"Mr. Ye, let’s find a place to discuss further."

Following the location Mr. Yang provided, Ye Qiu drove over.

It turned out to be a simple villa.

Mr. Yang was already waiting there.

Upon seeing Ye Qiu, Mr. Yang asked, "Mr. Ye, is your father’s condition severe?"

He had actually witnessed small hoodlums strike Ye Weidong’s head until it bled, and even smashed Ye Weidong’s Mercedes sedan.

"He’s fine. He’s resting back in Jinling."

"That Boss Zhang is too arrogant; I never expected he’d truly send people to attack."

Mr. Yang was naturally aware of the Zhang Family’s situation.

Still, he felt business was business, and he couldn’t afford to lose tens of thousands by renting to this Zhang.

However, this Zhang clearly relied exclusively on such methods to earn money.

"He won’t live long."

Ye Qiu directly said.

"Mr. Ye, what do you mean?"

"It’s nothing. Anyway, concerning the store, I still intend to rent it on behalf of my father, keeping the rent as originally discussed, signing a twenty-year lease. If there are no issues, we can handle the transaction today."

"But, Mr. Ye, my concern is that if your father and son run the business here, Boss Zhang might still send people to cause trouble, and your losses could be even greater."

"I understand that, but I just said, he won’t live long."

Won’t live long?

What do you mean?

Mr. Yang couldn’t make sense of it.

Was this young man impulsive and planning to dispatch someone to kill Boss Zhang?

Considering this, Mr. Yang felt somewhat scared.

"We can discuss it slowly."

"No need for drawn-out discussions; your time and mine are both very precious, without much to spare. If you’re unwilling to rent, I’ll seek another store."

"Mr. Ye, let me go back and reconsider."

In truth, he feared that if Ye Weidong and son leased the store but later faced Zhang’s destruction, they’d likely breach the contract, thereby he himself would suffer the financial loss.

Thus, Ye Qiu no longer said much.

After Mr. Yang departed, Ye Qiu also drove away towards Jiang Xiyue’s group company headquarters.

After Ye Qiu’s departure, Mr. Yang pondered whether Boss Zhang was really close to his end.

The previous night, after drinking at that club, Boss Zhang felt suddenly unwell upon returning home. When taken to a hospital by his family for examination and treatment, results came back swiftly.

X-rays showed Boss Zhang’s condition was deeply concerning.

Neither Boss Zhang nor his family could fathom how he, seemingly healthy until now, had cancer?

Boss Zhang refused to accept but surely reality proved unyielding, with cancer cells already spreading; his prognosis wasn’t good.

Boss Zhang couldn’t accept this reality, yet now had to reckoned with last-line treatment in that hospital—merely chemotherapy and radiation.

But, these were very painful methods, lacking guarantees.

At this moment, Boss Zhang stopped thinking of other matters but wished to live a few more years, uncertain if he could achieve it?

A nearby Mr. Yang at the villa heard from medical friends that Boss Zhang indeed had multiple cancers and possibly wouldn’t last long.

Upon hearing this news while sipping tea, Mr. Yang’s teacup dropped and shattered, without his realization.
