Chapter 303 Debts Settled, Favors Returned! Qian Rourou's Invitation

This was Nangong Yunshao's second time seeing Ye Kunlun. Compared to the sharp aura he exuded the first time, the Ye Kunlun before him now possessed the gentle demeanor of a big brother next door.

Nangong Yunshao found the aura incredibly comforting, even evoking a desire to draw closer.

"Are you here to thank me for saving your life?"

Ye Kunlun's voice broke through Nangong Yunshao's thoughts.

"That was just a transaction, wasn't it?" Nangong Yunshao looked at Ye Kunlun calmly, without a hint of a smile.

"If you say so."

Ye Kunlun, too lazy to explain, walked past Nangong Yunshao towards the Wujian Prison.

"Wait a moment." Nangong Yunshao called out to Ye Kunlun, "What I said before still stands. I owe you a favor!"

"What's your favor worth?" Ye Kunlun turned back, retorting sarcastically, "Stop thinking so highly of yourself. Hurry back to Qintian Tower or the Nangong family and be the young lady you are!"

Ye Kunlun held no fondness for Nangong Yunshao, especially for women who were so self-important, just like Nalan Mingyue back then!

Nangong Yunshao did not get angry at Ye Kunlun's words. Instead, she said, "I know you want the Wordless Book. Besides the Nangong family's Wordless Book, I can help you obtain another one!"

Hearing this, Ye Kunlun's eyes revealed a flicker of surprise. He gazed deeply at Nangong Yunshao, narrowed his eyes, and asked, "You know about other Wordless Books?"

"I only know about one other!" Nangong Yunshao knew Ye Kunlun was intrigued. She continued, "If I give you the clue to another Wordless Book, we'll be square. What do you think?"

"Deal!"

Ye Kunlun agreed without hesitation.

Logically, the seven great families of the capital corresponded to seven Wordless Books.

Since Nangong Yunshao knew of one other besides the Nangong family's, it meant someone among the seven families had lost their Wordless Book!

He was curious to know which family had lost it and who possessed it now.

"In three days, come to Qintian Tower, and I'll tell you."

With that, Nangong Yunshao turned and left.

In the afternoon, Qian Rourou directly pulled Liu Meng to the Wujian Prison.

After a night and morning of negotiations, her father, Qian Dongchao, had agreed to Qian Rourou's idea of investing in the Wujian Prison.

Qian Rourou's first act was to discuss this matter with Ye Kunlun.

Wu Dao stared at the excited Qian Rourou, listening to her words, his eyes nearly popping out.

Fifty billion was settled with just a few words from Ye Kunlun?

Last night it was one hundred and forty billion, and now another fifty billion. When did money become so worthless?

"Miss Qian, I was just joking with the Young Master. Please don't take it seriously."

Even though Ye Kunlun had instructed Wu Dao, Wu Dao couldn't accept Qian Rourou's money for no reason.

"Brother Wu Dao, the Master asked me to discuss this with you." Qian Rourou gave a sly smile. "And my father has agreed."

"But..."

Wu Dao was about to say something else, but Qian Rourou chuckled, "Our Qian family has the top designers in the country. I guarantee that after the redesign, the Wujian Prison will be a hundred times grander than Ziyan Tower."

Hearing this, Wu Dao began to feel swayed.

"Miss Qian is truly generous with her wealth."

Ye Kunlun's voice preceded his arrival.

Upon hearing Ye Kunlun's voice, Qian Rourou quickly turned and bowed to the approaching Ye Kunlun, "Rourou greets Master."

Liu Meng snorted and remained silent.

Since Qian Dongchao had agreed to invest fifty billion, she, as a member of the Liu family, couldn't say much.

After all, it wasn't her money being spent. Even if she thought Qian Rourou was crazy, and Qian Dongchao was crazy along with her!

"What are Qian Dongchao's conditions?"

Ye Kunlun looked at Qian Rourou and asked calmly.

Qian Dongchao was a businessman. Even though he had saved his beloved daughter, he wouldn't easily part with fifty billion to renovate the Wujian Prison.

Qian Rourou smiled charmingly and winked at Ye Kunlun, "Master is my savior. Our Qian family certainly won't impose any conditions.

However, the third day of next month is my grandfather's seventieth birthday. Father wishes to invite Master to attend, and more importantly, to thank Master in person."

"Master won't refuse, will he?" Qian Rourou looked at Ye Kunlun expectantly.

"We'll see then."

Ye Kunlun calculated the time. It was still more than twenty days until next month, and whether he would be in the capital then was another matter.

"Then I'll take that as a 'yes' for now. I'll come to pick you up then."

Qian Rourou smiled happily.

"Oh, right. Since it's a large project, the design drafts will likely take several months to complete. In the meantime, I'll discuss it with Brother Wu Dao."

Qian Rourou winked at Wu Dao.

Ye Kunlun gave a hum.

"Does Master have time tonight?" Qian Rourou asked.

Liu Meng tugged at Qian Rourou and whispered in her ear, "Rourou, you're not actually asking him to attend tonight's class reunion, are you?"

Qian Rourou looked at her good friend and nodded.

"No time!"

Both their whispers reached Ye Kunlun's ears word for word.

Qian Rourou wanted him to accompany her to a class reunion, but Ye Kunlun had no intention of agreeing.

Qian Rourou showed a hint of disappointment.

"Wu Dao, you discuss with Miss Qian. I'm going out."

Ye Kunlun instructed Wu Dao, as he indeed had something to do.

He had originally expected to wait a few days for Tang Zhuozhuo to find an opportunity to enter the Dongtu Manor.

Unexpectedly, after dinner that afternoon, Tang Zhuozhuo sent him a message, informing him that she could go to the Dongtu Manor tonight.

The Wu clan's connection to that hidden hand was the first matter Ye Kunlun needed to resolve.

All other matters had to take a backseat.

"Your subordinate understands!"

Wu Dao responded.

As soon as Ye Kunlun left.

Liu Meng began to bombard Ye Kunlun, "Rourou, you're going to kill me! Tonight is our old class reunion, and you actually want to invite Ye Kunlun!"

"Ye Kunlun doesn't know any of our classmates. Won't it be awkward?"

Qian Rourou sighed, looking at her good friend with some helplessness, "Don't you know why I want to invite Ye Kunlun..."

"You mean Qiao Song?" Liu Meng thought of something. "Isn't he abroad? Has he returned?"

Qian Rourou looked at her good friend speechlessly, "Don't you check our group chat? Qiao Song is also attending tonight's gathering."

"Qiao Song is also quite good. Uncle Qian is the richest man, and Uncle Qiao is the second richest. Your two families are quite well-matched."

Liu Meng chuckled, seemingly having a good impression of Qiao Song.

"I don't have any feelings for Qiao Song." Liu Meng felt a headache coming on. "Moreover, he stayed abroad for three years and hasn't returned once during this period. Who knows if he's changed drastically!"

"That's still better than Ye Kunlun," Liu Meng snorted.

Wu Dao coughed lightly, "Miss Liu Meng, the Young Master is outwardly cold but inwardly warm. He's an excellent person."

"You're his subordinate, of course, you're speaking for him!" Liu Meng glared at Wu Dao.

Wu Dao shrugged, looking at Qian Rourou innocently.

"Alright, Xiaomeng. I'll discuss the upcoming work with Brother Wu Dao first."

Qian Rourou changed the subject.
