Chapter 2179 - 2139: He Really Is My Friend’s Grandson

Ye Qiu didn’t want any connections with the Ye Family in Capital City, so he naturally wouldn’t admit to any relationship with Old Ye. However, Lord Hong looked at him and realized, this young man is indeed his old friend’s grandson, even though he might only see this old friend once a year.

Still, he didn’t expect his old friend’s grandson, not only to be an impressive third generation, but also to have such incredible medical skills.

If that were the case, this Lord Hong would be even more enthusiastic towards Ye Qiu.

Judging by the time, he knew these three hadn’t had dinner yet, so Lord Hong had someone prepare a lavish dinner.

Ye Qiu, Xia Jing, and Miranda sat chatting with Lord Hong for a while and learned that Lord Hong’s real surname isn’t Hong, but Zhu.

He was referred to as Lord Hong out of respect.

From his ranking, Lord Hong used to be the fifth in line.

Of course, he was once a real boss, but he has since retired and stopped dealing with underworld matters.

"Lord Five, then I’ll take a walk around the area first."

Ye Qiu pulled Miranda up and headed towards the seaside outside.

Xia Jing could only follow along.

The warm breeze from the Pacific Ocean at the seaside felt really comfortable.

"Miranda, do you like this kind of life?"

"It’s not bad."

California is already a frontrunner in many aspects in America.

However, Miranda feels Cuba isn’t bad either. The key is who she’s with, and of course, if she has money and the public safety is okay in America, she’ll have a great life.

Ye Qiu initially thought about buying a villa here.

But then Miranda would return to Cuba for her studies, and if he bought the villa, he’d have to hire someone to take care of it, so he might as well wait and buy it later.

As for whether it’s about investing for appreciation, Ye Qiu doesn’t care at all.

After walking outside for half an hour, Lord Hong sent someone over to call Ye Qiu and the other two back.

When they arrived at the dining area, Ye Qiu saw there were already quite a few dishes prepared.

Clearly, Lord Hong here doesn’t employ just one chef; he has several chefs, and they should all be Huaxia natives.

"Seems like it’s all Huaxia cuisine."

"I can’t get used to those western dishes, even after living in America for decades," Lord Hong said.

Whenever he has gatherings with other Americans, the meals may mainly be western cuisine or buffets.

But Lord Hong really isn’t used to it, so he specifically hired a few chefs from Hong Kong.

These dishes look pretty good, better than those on Chinatown.

Ye Qiu and the other two sat down, and Lord Hong had someone bring over Moutai Liquor.

This liquor is quite expensive domestically, but it’s much cheaper in America and isn’t considered very high-end. Nonetheless, eating Huaxia dishes and drinking liquor does feel wonderful.

Originally, Lord Hong wanted to ask about Old Ye, but Ye Qiu didn’t want to mention anything.

Why is it like this?

Lord Hong was puzzled.

After all, he wasn’t very familiar with Old Ye, although he knew Old Ye had an extraordinary identity; he had seen him at meetings in Capital City before.

Ye Qiu and the others first drank the local old fire soup here, then tasted those dishes.

By the time they finished this meal, it was already past nine in the evening.

"Ye, would you and your two friends like to stay here tonight to rest?" Lord Hong asked.

Knowing Ye Qiu’s identity, he naturally didn’t call him Dr. Ye anymore.

He directly called him Ye Qiu.

This made those around him feel a bit peculiar.

"Lord Five, we’ll go back to rest at Chinatown."

"Alright, I’ll have someone take you back later."

After resting here for a bit, Lord Hong had someone come over to drive the three back to Chinatown.

As they got into the car, Lord Hong said, "Ye, you’re welcome to come again tomorrow."

"Tomorrow? I’m going to Las Vegas tomorrow."

Going to Las Vegas?

That means he won’t be coming tomorrow.

However, right now Lord Hong doesn’t have time, he definitely needs to find out who wants him dead.

Though in the underworld, you have to pay your dues sooner or later, but he must get to the bottom of this matter.

As the Lincoln car left the villa, Lord Hong was standing there, and a little brother beside him asked, "Lord Five, who is that young man?"

"From Capital City, surprisingly, the other party’s identity isn’t simple either."

In Capital City, second and third generations are definitely not simple.

Though Ye Qiu dresses quite ordinarily, if it weren’t for knowing his identity, one wouldn’t believe he’s related to the Ye Family in Capital City.

However, this young man denies it.

In fact, precisely for that reason, Lord Hong knows this young man is very low-key, so low-key that he doesn’t want others to know about his ties to the Ye Family.

Looks like he needs to contact Old Ye from Capital City.

He still has Old Ye’s phone number.

And right now, it’s the domestic Capital City time of afternoon two or three, calling shouldn’t affect the other party’s information.

When Lord Hong called Old Ye’s number, after a while, the call connected, disbelief in the voice, "Is it Old Zhu?"

This was a call from across the Pacific Ocean in America.

However, Old Ye hadn’t been following foreign news, so naturally, he wasn’t aware of Lord Hong getting shot and hospitalized.

"Old Ye, it’s Old Zhu!"

Lord Hong said.

"Old Zhu, aren’t you in San Francisco? How come you thought of calling me, are you planning to return for a meeting again?" Lord Hong is a Chinese in America, having acquired citizenship long ago, but due to his identity, he still returned for certain meetings.

Like the business cooperation with Chinese and overseas Chinese communities, such meetings happen every year.

"I haven’t planned to return recently, but I’m calling to ask you something."

Something?

"What is it? Speak up."

Old Ye thought the other party wanted to ask about some upper echelon matters in Capital City.

Unexpectedly, Lord Hong directly asked, "Is that Ye Qiu your grandson?"

Ye Qiu?

Old Ye was startled.

Quickly he got it, he naturally knew Ye Qiu was his biological grandson, but the issue is Ye Qiu doesn’t acknowledge it.

Moreover, some time ago, Ye Qiu returned to his hometown for grave sweeping with Ye Weidong during National Day, causing quite a commotion, making it clear he doesn’t acknowledge him as grandfather.

Just not knowing why Old Zhu was asking about this now?

"Don’t know what he wants?" Old Ye asked.

"Old Ye, this time I have to thank your grandson for saving my life."

Saved his life?

Old Ye was even more bewildered.

Some time ago, he stayed in Jinling for a long time, found out Ye Qiu had no intention to deal with the other party, so he flew back to Capital City, leaving unaware that Ye Qiu had already flown to America.

"Old Zhu, what do you mean saved your life?" Old Ye was still somewhat confused.

When Lord Hong heard this, he knew, Old Ye clearly wasn’t aware of the news here while he was in the domestic scene.
