Urban Supreme Wild Son-in-Law War God

Chapter 235 Jiangbei Chamber of Commerce

At nightfall, a table of dinner was set up in the courtyard of the Lin family.

A large table with dinner that looked and smelled delicious, and several bottles of expensive-looking wine were placed on the table.

Ye Ling and others took their seats, while Su Rou and Ye Jiu had also arrived at the Lin family's residence.

"Ye Ling, I toast to you!"

"With today's farewell, who knows when we will meet again."

Lin Jianyang raised his glass, smiling as he spoke.

His words were devoid of the sadness of parting, filled only with the joy and anticipation of the next reunion.

Ye Ling nodded and then addressed everyone at the table, "Let's all drink together!"

"Clink!"

Glasses collided one after another, creating a series of crisp sounds.

Then, everyone drank up the wine in their glasses without hesitation.

Except for Su Rou and Lin Xue, who among those present had a poor tolerance for alcohol?

As everyone was pushing glasses and changing spots, a figure hurriedly ran into the courtyard of the Lin family.

"President Li? What brings you here?"

Seeing the visitor, Lin Jianyang immediately asked.

Li Tianqing, out of breath, was for a moment unable to speak, which showed just how hurried his actions had been.

"I... I came looking for Lord Ye!"

Li Tianqing managed to say after catching his breath for a moment.

Hearing this, Ye Ling raised an eyebrow and promptly asked, "What's the matter?"

"Lord Ye, today a Northern Merchants Association arrived in Jinling City, and within just one day, they have taken over most of the companies, big and small, in Jinling City!"

Li Tianqing said without delay.

As the president of the Jinling City Merchants Association, he naturally bore the responsibility for the rise and fall of all members of the Jinling City Merchants Association.

However, this suddenly emerging Northern Merchants Association, like a Divine Weapon descending from the skies, had swept through most of the companies in Jinling City in just one day, as if autumn winds sweeping away fallen leaves.

Whether through forced acquisitions or by depressing prices after applying pressure from all sides, the members of the Jinling City Merchants Association all suffered heavy losses in just one day.

"Northern Merchants Association? What kind of background do they have?"

Ye Ling asked, furrowing his brow.

Li Tianqing gave a bitter smile and said helplessly, "Can't find out, the people behind them are extremely mysterious, and I've exhausted all means without a hint of a clue!"

"However, since they call themselves the Northern Merchants Association, they are probably a force from the north!"

Hearing this, Ye Ling's eyebrows twitched.

Although the northern region was vast in territory, due to local resource constraints, it didn't have many powerful families.

A family capable of achieving such dominance in a single day could hardly be found in the north!

"Sir, after the Song family in the north, there's also the powerful Lu family..."

"Could this Northern Merchants Association be something they started?"

"I had received information before that the Song family and the Lu family seem to be closely linked with certain families in the capital."

He Feng suddenly spoke up.

At these words, a trace of killing intent flashed across Ye Ling's eyes.

He then spoke in a stern voice, "Look into this matter for me, I need a result before dawn."

"Whether it's the descendants of the Song family or the Lu family that dominates the northern region, or any other family, if they dare target Jinling City, they're likely coming after me."

"No matter who is orchestrating this from behind, they will have to pay a price!"

He Feng's expression turned serious, and he immediately stood up and said, "Do not worry, sir. Before dawn, I will have a clear picture of the people behind this Northern Merchants Association!"

"Go."

Ye Ling said indifferently.

Afterward, He Feng turned and left the Lin residence.

After He Feng had left, Ye Ling also turned to Li Tianqing and said, "You need not worry about this matter. Since they are targeting me, I will naturally help you resolve it."

"I deeply appreciate it, Lord Ye!"

Li Tianqing immediately responded.

Ye Ling had already saved his life, and now he was even willing to intervene and eliminate the Su North Chamber of Commerce from Jinling City. Li Tianqing didn't know how he could ever repay such a debt of gratitude.

"We've eaten and drunk, it's time to disperse."

Lin Jianyang also spoke up at the right moment.

Hearing this, Ye Ling nodded slightly and said in a serious tone, "Since the people of Northern Jiang are plotting to reach into Jinling City, my trip to the imperial capital might also be delayed for a few days. When I have time, we can gather again."

"That's easy to say, come over any time when you have time."

Lin Jianyang said with a smile.

Afterward, Ye Ling and others also rose and left the Lin residence.

By the time they returned to the Su residence, it was already late at night. Su Rou had gone to bed early, but Ye Ling was sitting with Chen Dao and a few others at a stone table in the Su courtyard, each of them wearing a somber expression.

"Sir, if the person behind the Jiangbei Chamber of Commerce is from a Jiangbei powerhouse like the Lu family, it would be manageable."

"But if it really is someone from the Song family, should we still act against them?"

Chen Dao asked, worry evident in his eyes.

Ye Ling glanced at him, then slowly raised his head to look at the full moon in the sky and said softly, "Times have changed, and people change as well."

"What kind of person is Song Jun? If his descendants harbor ill intentions, they must be punished accordingly."

"If one could act as they please just by relying on their ancestors' glories, then those age-old families in Dragon Country would have long since thrown the state into chaos."

Hearing this, Chen Dao showed a look of realization.

Song Jun had made great contributions to Dragon Country, but this did not mean his descendants could misuse his legacy to do as they pleased!

Anyone who errs must be prepared to face punishment.

"Sir, someone is coming."

Ye Jiu, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke up.

Ye Ling's eyebrows twitched slightly as he nodded.

With his skills, he had naturally sensed someone approaching the Su residence.

"Go and bring the visitor in."

Ye Ling instructed Ye Jiu.

"Yes, Sir!"

Ye Jiu responded and immediately stood up to walk towards the outside of the courtyard.

After Ye Jiu left, Chen Dao spoke with a puzzled expression, "Sir, who could be visiting in the dead of night?"

"Hehe, a visitor from the imperial city."

Ye Ling chuckled lightly.

Hearing this, Chen Dao looked perplexed, evidently surprised that someone from the imperial city would come at this hour.

However, Ye Ling was clear in his mind that the visitor must be from the Wuji Group, but he wasn't sure if it was Liu Qingfeng or Liu Qingyun.

Because the visitor carried a hint of the old Northern Liao King Wang Wu's martial aura, Ye Ling was able to confirm the identity.

Martial auras are passed down through lineage; unless one has innovated or modified it, the aura of martial arts will naturally carry the signature of whoever passed it down.

In the vast Dragon Country, the number of people with the martial legacy of the old Northern Liao King Wang Wu could be counted on one's fingers.

Among them, the Liu family, who managed the Wuji Group for the old Northern Liao King, was indeed one of them!
