Pryor Ye frowned, "What's going on? What are they here for?"
Nelly Xu replied, "They are leaders from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau."
"Today is their routine inspection, which happens once a week. Unexpectedly, they are inspecting the steel plant."
"With all the recent fighting here, the place is a mess. I don't know if we can pass the inspection."
Pryor Ye comforted her, "Don't worry, with me here, nothing will happen."
If he wanted to, the entire capital of Linhai City was his, and he wouldn't care about a few troublesome officials from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.
Nelly Xu pursed her lips without confirming or denying, then went to greet the officials personally.
With nothing better to do, Pryor Ye walked into the restroom to smoke a cigarette.
Halfway through his cigarette, a man in a suit suddenly entered.
Pryor Ye recognized him; he seemed to be one of the leaders of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.
The man struggled for a long time in front of the toilet but couldn't manage to relieve himself.
He turned red with embarrassment, sweating profusely, and groaned in discomfort.
Pryor Ye felt uncomfortable just watching him.
"He seems to be suffering from severe kidney stones," Pryor Ye thought, "If he can't relieve himself soon, his bladder might rupture and cause serious harm."
He didn't want any accidents to happen at the steel plant.
So, he picked a few long silver needles from his Tianluo Thirteen Needles and approached the man.
"Don't move," Pryor Ye said, "I will help you break up the kidney stones."
The man in the suit was terrified, "Hey, hey, what are you doing? Stop..."
Kidney stones that even renowned doctors couldn't resolve, and now this guy claimed he could solve them with a few silver needles. That was a global joke.
However, before he could finish his sentence, Pryor Ye had already begun.
The silver needles pierced through his lower back and entered his bladder.
The man in the suit cursed, "I f***..."
But halfway through his curse, he stopped.
What replaced it was the sound of flowing water and a relaxed sigh.
The man in the suit realized that numerous small kidney stones were passing out with his urine.
He was instantly filled with excitement and tears of joy.
The stones that had tormented him for five years, causing him endless pain, had been resolved just like that!
It was a miracle, an absolute miracle.
I've encountered a living immortal!
The man in the suit was so excited that he wanted to shake hands with Pryor Ye. However, Pryor Ye scolded him, "Go wash your hands."
He had been too engrossed, and his hands were now covered in urine.
The man in the suit chuckled awkwardly and handed over his business card, "Great doctor, this is my business card, please accept it."
"I am Waite Liu, the director of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. If you have any issues, feel free to contact me."
Pryor Ye didn't take the card but glanced at the wolf head emblem on his wrist.
"Did you used to work under Seth?"
Waite Liu's pupils contracted instantly, and his hands trembled.
Daring to address that person as "Sethi" meant that the young man in front of him was someone extraordinary.
Waite Liu stuttered, "Yes, I... I used to work under Black Wolf."
"May I ask who you are..."
Pryor Ye turned and left without taking the business card, "Victory surpasses a thousand methods, I am Pryor Ye."
What!
Thud!
Waite Liu unconsciously knelt down on the ground.
Pryor Ye, the military legend who had led thousands of troops to sweep through eight nations, the invincible God of War...
Meeting the ancestor himself—this was truly astonishing!
Pryor Ye returned to Nelly Xu's side. She looked distressed and hopeless, saying, "Oh no, they found many problems during the inspection. The steel plant will definitely have to shut down for rectification."
"We might not be able to fulfill the order from the Shen family now. We're in big trouble."
Pryor Ye patted her shoulder gently and reassured her, "Don't worry, everything will be fine."
Nelly Xu sighed, "You don't need to comfort me. I've been dealing with them for five or six years, and I know their way of doing things."
At this moment, Waite Liu also emerged from the restroom.
He waved his hand to his subordinates, and they gathered around him.
After a brief conversation with them, Waite Liu got into his car and left.
Nelly Xu was astonished, "Why did he leave? This isn't normal."
Then, she suddenly remembered something and curiously examined Pryor Ye, saying, "Aren't you going to explain anything to me?"
Pryor Ye asked, "Explain what?"
Nelly Xu inquired, "Like, how did you know that someone was buying up all the steel plants in the city, and that they wouldn't supply Karen Chen unless she begged us for supplies?"
"And how could the Shen family, being so prominent, consider our small factory and give us such a large order?"
"And also, you said the Industrial and Commercial officials wouldn't cause trouble for us, and they indeed left peacefully."
Pryor Ye replied casually, "It's simple."
"I bought all the steel plants in the city and didn't let them supply Karen Chen."
"As for the Shen family, I only made a small move in Linhai City. All the Shen family's wealth belongs to me."
"And as for the Industrial and Commercial officials, they're nothing in my eyes."
Nelly Xu was exasperated, "Can't you stop bragging?"
Pryor Ye responded with a blank expression.
Trust between people, huh...
Meanwhile, Karen Chen, full of anger, found the office of the young master of the Fang family, Thorne Fang.
After explaining the situation in detail, Thorne Fang exploded in anger.
"You're useless, Karen Chen, utterly useless. You can't even handle such a small matter."
In fact, today's events were all planned by Thorne Fang.
He had sent Karen Chen to Nelly Xu's steel plant to put pressure on her, threatening to bankrupt her.
This way, Nelly Xu would have to seek him out, and he could then use the marriage agreement to manipulate her...
But he hadn't expected Karen Chen to mess up this good opportunity.
Karen Chen felt wronged. After all, it wasn't her fault that the plan had failed. She blamed the fact that someone had secretly acquired all the steel plants in the city and refused to supply the Fang family...
But she didn't dare to express her anger. She cautiously said, "Young Master Fang, I think it's best if you personally intervene to break them up."
"Pryor Ye is only worthy of being my lapdog. He has no right to steal your woman."
Thorne Fang sneered, "Hmph, that useless Pryor Ye doesn't deserve my attention."
"Secretary Wang, have you completed the tasks I assigned to you?"
On the side, a seductive and charming female secretary cooed, "Young Master Fang, you can rest assured."
"I've followed your orders and arranged for Nelly Xu's uncle's son-in-law to become the head of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau."
Thorne Fang smiled with satisfaction.
As far as he knew, Nelly Xu's family was very afraid of her uncle and obeyed his every command.
If her uncle intervened and forced Nelly Xu to marry him, there was a good chance she would comply.
For this reason, he had made a deal with Nelly Xu's uncle.
He arranged for the uncle's son-in-law to become the head of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. In return, her uncle would pressure Nelly Xu to get engaged to him tonight.
If Nelly Xu still refused, her uncle would have her steel plant sealed by her son-in-law.
Tonight's plan could be considered foolproof.
...
In the evening, Nelly Xu received a call from her uncle.
Her uncle's son-in-law had become the head of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and invited her and Pryor Ye to a celebration banquet.
Upon hearing this, Nelly Xu's eyes lit up, and she agreed.
After hanging up the phone, she said mysteriously to Pryor Ye, "I finally understand why the Industrial and Commercial Bureau didn't pursue the responsibility of the steel plant today."
Pryor Ye asked, "Why?"
Nelly Xu explained, "My uncle's son-in-law has become the head of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. The people from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau are definitely giving him face and not digging too deep into the matter."
Pryor Ye was speechless.
Today, the head of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, Waite Liu, had personally intervened. It was unlikely that he would do so just to favor a minor department head.
Waite Liu had spared Nelly Xu because he was grateful for his medical treatment.
Nelly Xu said, "Let's go, we're going to the celebration banquet. I want to thank my uncle's family properly."
Pryor Ye frowned and asked, "Your uncle invited me too?"
Nelly Xu nodded, "Yes, my uncle specifically requested your presence."
Pryor Ye fell into deep thought.
All along, her uncle had opposed his marriage to Nelly Xu. Why would he suddenly invite him?
It seemed that this celebration banquet might be a trap.
"I hope they're not targeting me this time," Pryor Ye sighed to himself, "Otherwise, I wouldn't mind giving them a lesson."
Her uncle had obstructed their relationship several times, and Pryor Ye was starting to lose patience.
Pryor Ye discreetly sent a message to "Ruff" just in case!
