At noon the next day, Haojiang International Airport.

A military special plane landed slowly. Its military green color made it extremely eye-catching among the many aircraft. After the plane came to a stop, a woman in a dark business suit stepped out. She looked about 50 years old. Although her figure was a bit bloated, her demeanor was dignified and elegant, and her every move showed everyone's style.

This woman is Zhang Xiuying, who was entrusted by Ye Youxin to come to Haojiang to discuss the gambling competition with Ye Fang. She is the matron of the Ye family and her external identity is the plenipotentiary representative of the executive director of Baoli International Group.

"Director Zhang, you..."

Before Ye Fang could say the word "good" behind her, Zhang Xiuying gave Ye Fang a Western-style hug and said in a choked tone, "Hello, Xiao Fang."

After letting go of Ye Fang, Zhang Xiuying looked a little excited and looked at Ye Fang carefully, as if she wanted to find the traces of her husband Ye Youli's bloodline between Ye Fang's brows. Later, Zhang Xiuying discovered that Ye Fang's eyes, especially his eyes, were almost the same as those of Ye Youli. They were exactly the same, and their eyes always showed a perseverance and indomitable spirit. Seeing these eyes, Zhang Xiuying suddenly saw the look of Ye Youli when he left. Tears rolled in her eyes for a moment, and it was useless to control them.

"Director Zhang, what's wrong with you?" Ye Fang didn't understand why Zhang Xiuying was so excited.

It took Zhang Xiuying a long time to calm down, and she said softly, "Don't call me Director Zhang, call me Auntie Ying."

"Oh, hello Aunt Ying, let's go, I'll go back to the hotel first." Ye Fang said politely.

"Okay." Although Zhang Xiuying and Ye Fang were not related at all by blood, Zhang Xiuying regarded Ye Fang as her own son at that time.

On the way back, Zhang Xiuying asked about Ye Fang's life in every detail like an elder. When she learned that Ye Fang grew up in an orphanage and had such a difficult time in jail, Zhang Xiuying could no longer control her tears and held back her tears. He kept sobbing softly. This left Monk Ye Fangzhang and the second monk confused. He didn't understand whether Zhang Xiuying sympathized with his experience, or whether she had such a sentimental character.

"I'm fine. I just lament that your life was too hard in the past." Zhang Xiuying gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said in a firm tone, "No one will dare to bully you again in the future. People from the Ye family are not that easy to bully."

Ye family? ! Could it be that Aunt Ying is also from the Ye family? Ye Fang thought this in his mind but did not ask. He just chatted patiently with Zhang Xiuying. After arriving at the hotel, Ye Fang arranged a place for Zhang Xiuying to live, and at the same time transferred Lan Lu from the capital to protect Zhang Xiuying personally, because Ye Youxin specifically told her to ensure Zhang Xiuying's safety.

Ye Fang asked Zhang Xiuying to rest in the hotel for a while and then have dinner with her to discuss gambling in detail. Zhang Xiuying returned to the room and took a shower first, then took out her mobile phone and dialed Ye Youxin.

"I met someone. Is he the eldest brother's child?" Ye Youxin asked in a low voice.

Zhang Xiuying could no longer control the surging emotions in her heart and started crying. Ye Youxin on the other side of the phone had to listen silently. After a long time, Zhang Xiuying stopped crying and said, "Yes, that look in his eyes is exactly the same as that of your elder brother."

Ye Youxin took a deep breath and said, "Sister-in-law, you have to control your emotions. It's not the time to recognize each other yet."

"I think so too, but I can't control myself as soon as I see him. As long as I see him, your big brother's shadow is in front of my eyes." Zhang Xiuying choked.

"If you can't control it, you have to control it!" Ye Youxin said loudly, "Sister-in-law, Ye Fang is very sensitive. If he feels there is a problem, he will definitely get to the bottom of it. Now Ye Fang's wings are not full yet, maybe one day in the future the time will come. , then we can recognize each other. He is the eldest brother’s child, that is, your child.”

When Zhang Xiuying heard the word "child", she couldn't control it anymore, as if she wanted to cry out all the grievances she had suffered over the years. Gradually, Zhang Xiuying stopped speaking and said, "Don't worry, I can control it!"

"Okay, this is best. If you have any questions, please contact me in time." After saying this, Ye Youxin hung up the phone.

Zhang Xiuying put down the phone, took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and then prepared to take a rest.

At this time, Ye Fang did not return to his room, but went directly back to He Chaoqiong's private villa on the roof. The room had already been tidied up, and it seemed that there was no evidence of the two of them being charming last night. From now on, in addition to He Chaoqiong himself, Ye Fang can also live in this villa at any time.

"This wine is really not a good thing, especially you can't drink it alone with a married woman." Ye Fang shook his head and regretted being alone with He Chaoqiong, but He Chaoqiong didn't really want to have anything to do with Ye Fang in the future. Last night was just a matter of love. So naturally some things happened between adult men and women. The difference was that He Chaoqiong was still Xu Jinheng's legal wife in name, so Ye Fang always had a sense of immorality of a third party intervening.

Early the next morning after a ridiculous night, He Chaoqiong left Lisboa without waiting for Ye Fang to get up. He only left a piece of paper on the bedside, which was written with a poem: "Once the sea was too difficult for water, except for Wushan, it was not clouds."

When Ye Fang saw this poem, his first reaction was that He Chaoqiong had left the wrong poem. This poem should have been written by a man to a woman, and it was roughly intended to express his unwavering love for a woman. But what does it mean for a woman to write this poem to a man? Ye Fang thought about it for a day but couldn't figure it out, so he finally had to keep this question in his heart.

When he and Zhang Xiuying had dinner at a private kitchen restaurant in the Lisboa Hotel in the evening, Ye Fang raised this question to Zhang Xiuying, thinking that Zhang Xiuying, as someone who had been there, should know more about this than him.

Zhang Xiuying did not ask about the whole incident. Although she guessed that another woman should have written to Ye Fang, she did not reveal it. After thinking for a long time, Zhang Xiuying gave the answer and said, "If this poem is written by a woman to a man, If so, I think she should be expressing this meaning, that there was once a relationship that occupied this woman's entire heart, and no one will ever be able to take his place in the future. This shows that this woman has loved before, and loved deeply. She has not completely come out of that relationship. But if you are a person who is brave enough to challenge, you might as well give it a try. If you can succeed, it should be a blessing to you and her."

"You mean she is encouraging me to pursue her?" Ye Fang confirmed.

Zhang Xiuying smiled calmly, then nodded and said, "She probably wanted to express this."

Ye Fang shook his head but did not speak.

"What's wrong? Are you unwilling? Or is there something wrong with this girl?" Zhang Xiuying asked.

Ye Fang looked up at Zhang Xiuying. He originally wanted to make up another reason, but looking at Zhang Xiuying's concerned eyes, Ye Fang couldn't bear to lie to her, so he simply revealed his relationship with He Chaoqiong.

"Ah -" Zhang Xiuying opened her mouth and did not speak for a long time. She had tried countless possibilities. Cinderella and Prince Charming, or some woman who was the boss of the underworld, fell in love with Ye Fang, but she never thought about Ye Fang. Fang Hui fell into the emotional entanglement of the eldest daughter of the He family, and even slept with her. The most important thing is that in terms of age, He Chaoqiong is 38 years old today, and Ye Fangman is considered to be 28 years old. The difference between the two is nearly ten years. A solid sibling relationship.

Maybe it's not a sister-brother relationship for the time being, but just a one-night stand at most.

"No! I can't agree to this! Even if the He family is worth hundreds of billions!" Zhang Xiuying made a decisive decision in her heart.

"You...what did you think about it?" Zhang Xiuying was really afraid that Ye Fang would act impulsively when his head got hot. Not to mention whether the He family would agree, even if the He family agreed, the Ye family would not agree.

Ye Fang still shook his head and said, "I will never remarry in this life, nor will I fall into any emotions again."

Zhang Xiuying was relieved after hearing Ye Fang's words, but suddenly she thought, no, what does it mean that she won't remarry? Zhang Xiuying quickly asked, "Why?" Zhang Xiuying already knew about Ye Fang and Xiaozhuang before she came to Haojiang. She also knew that Ye Fang actually had a son and a daughter, but they were temporarily fostered in the Ma family.

Ye Fang raised his head and looked at Zhang Xiuying and said, "The fortune teller told me that my destiny is to kill the wolf, and I am destined to live alone all my life. Any good match will eventually die in an accident. Since I already know my future destiny, why bother?" How about one more life?"

"Fortune teller?! This is a bit superstitious." Although Zhang Xiuying said this, she was a person who believed in fate. In the end, she had to say, "Even this fortune teller, I believe there is a way to decipher it. I will take you with me when I return to the capital." Go to Baiyun Temple, the Master Baishi in the temple must have a way to crack it."

"Let's talk about it." Ye Fang continued without caring, "I have a bad destiny in my life, and most of the people close to me will be affected by me, so I sent my two children away from me, so that I can let go without any scruples. Act. If there are any people I am bound to in my heart, they will become my weakness, and the probability of accidents in the future will definitely be much greater than that of ordinary people. As for Sister Qiong, just treat it as a dream. "

Zhang Xiuying did not expect that Ye Fang could see destiny and feelings so clearly that she didn't know how to persuade him. Ye Fang smiled and said, "Actually, this is good. No worries. It's good for everyone."

"I hope the eldest lady of the He family can also understand." Zhang Xiuying sighed.

While Ye Fang and Zhang Xiuying were chatting with He Chaoqiong, He Chaoqiong, who was sitting in the office of the He Group and working overtime, sneezed for no reason. She looked up at the increasingly dark sky outside, with a beautiful smile on her lips.

At this time, an old man who was over seventy years old was sitting in a wheelchair in the old house of the He family. The housekeeper He Jiu was slowly pushing him in the garden. The old man in the wheelchair was none other than the gambling king He Hongsheng.

Although He Hongsheng is over 70 years old, he is still in good health, but has some difficulty moving, and his mind is still quick. His eyes like a night owl make anyone lose any pretense in front of him.

"What is this Ye Fang's background?" He Hongsheng asked.

"The upstart from the Mainland can be considered a self-made man. He mainly engages in finance and real estate. Recently, he has focused on industry. He is considered a promising young man." He Jiu said truthfully.

"You said Chaoqiong spent the night with him at the Lisboa Genting Villa?" He Hongsheng asked still unhurriedly.

"This is how the visitor repays." He Jiu replied.

"This is relatively rare. I have never seen Chaoqiong be so attracted to any boy, except that one." The person He Hongsheng was talking about was naturally Chen Baiqiang.

"This Ye Fang... This Ye Fang's eyebrows are similar to Chen Baiqiang." He Jiu hesitated for a moment and then said directly.

"Oh?!" He Hongsheng was obviously a little surprised, and then said, "Could this person named Ye Fang be deliberately sent by some force to disrupt the He family?"

He Jiu shook his head and said, "I can't see it, but after what happened this night, I'm not sure. If there is really any conspiracy, I believe it's already half done."

"But Chaoqiong has grown very fast in these years. I believe that if someone wants to cause trouble, she will not fail to see it." He Hongsheng insisted.

"Master, once a woman is lost in her feelings, her judgment will decline. After all, the lady is still a woman." He Jiu sighed.

He Hongsheng nodded with deep understanding and said, "Now He's enterprise is in a critical period of transformation, and Macao Entertainment is also preparing a gambling license bidding plan. Nothing can happen to Chaoqiong at this time. Make arrangements and go to Lisboa tonight."

"Tonight?!" He Jiu didn't expect that He Hongsheng's vigorous and resolute personality had not changed.

"Yes, tonight. I want to meet the man named Ye Fang and see who he is." He Hongsheng said solemnly.

At this time, Ye Fang and Zhang Xiuying had turned the topic in the restaurant to the competition for gambling cards. Ye Fang didn't understand why Ye Youxin insisted on getting this gambling card. At this time, Zhang Xiuying took out a small box and put it on the table, and then gently turned the switch. Ye Fang knew that this should be something similar to a jammer, which was used to block eavesdropping and monitoring from the surrounding area. Then he heard Zhang Xiuying whisper: "This It is about the country about to launch a secret military scientific research plan. So far, no more than five people know about this plan. The purpose of taking this gambling license is to build a maritime casino. Of course, the maritime casino is just a cover, the real This is what you have to do..."

Then Zhang Xiuying and Ye Fang whispered the basic outline of the entire plan. After hearing this plan, Ye Fang's spine shone and the hair on his body stood up. When Zhang Xiuying finished speaking, Ye Fang flushed with excitement and said firmly, "Aunt Ying, don't worry, I will definitely win this gambling card no matter what means you use."

"Okay!" Zhang Xiuying said loudly, "I heard that there are many companies bidding this time, and there are even two big Western countries. The competition will be unprecedentedly fierce. There are no talents in this field in the country, so it is necessary to make a unique bidding document. Our most important job. Tomorrow I will start the company registration with a registered capital of one billion US dollars."

"One billion U.S. dollars?!" Ye Fang secretly said, it's nearly [-] billion yuan, and a bidding company costs one billion U.S. dollars.

"No way, this is the first threshold. Fortunately, we don't really need to build a gambling boat for the time being. I have already prepared one billion US dollars, and we can implement this matter tomorrow." Zhang Xiuying said.

"Okay, I'll have someone accompany you to do it tomorrow."

At this time, Ye Fang's phone suddenly rang. The call was from Feng Liping, who asked Ye Fang to meet at the restaurant on the top floor of Lisboa.

Ye Fang sent Zhang Xiuying back to her room to rest, and took Su Long to the French restaurant on the top floor of the Lisboa Hotel. When Ye Fang entered the restaurant, he found that there was no one in the originally bustling restaurant, as if it was closed.

"Did Feng Liping reserve the venue?" Ye Fang thought to himself, probably not. Feng Liping would never be so high-profile, and there was no need for it.

"Mr. Ye, please, there are distinguished guests waiting for you!" A waiter walked up to Ye and said politely.

"Okay, lead the way." Ye Fang followed the waiter and walked deeper into the restaurant.
