Chapter 1077: Chapter 1077

Shijia faintly smiled and said, "As long as you don't go after Ding San's son, that's fine!"

"You..." The Bloody Monk's face changed. He had indeed been thinking about going to Shenchuan City to kill Ding San's son. Because he had realized that Ding San's son was the biggest mistake in his plan, so he wanted to kill Ding San's son to make his plan more perfect.

However, Shijia had clearly seen through his thoughts and made him swear not to kill Ding San's son. In other words, Shijia wanted to keep this loophole in his plan forever.

The Bloody Monk was silent for a while, slowly nodded, and said, "Fine, I won't go after Ding San's son. But you also can't interfere with any of my affairs anymore!"

"Of course not." Shijia replied with a smile.

At this moment, the white-haired Ding San hanging upside down suddenly let out a beast-like roar. The three monks immediately turned their heads and saw Ding San, as if he had gone mad, shredding the photo in his hand to pieces. Then with a shake of his right foot, he directly broke the ropes and fell from the beam.

The white-haired Ding San landed as if he couldn't feel any pain, let out a roar, and turned to pounce towards the three monks.

Seeing the white-haired Ding San in such a state, the Bloody Monk was very satisfied. He raised his hand and directly enveloped Ding San in his kasaya, saying to Shijia, "Senior Brother, it seems you are bound to lose this bet. I will now take him to the Western Province. Once he has killed a thousand people, I want to see how you will restore his humanity, hahaha..."

After saying that, the Bloody Monk turned and walked away with long strides.

"Why go to the Western Province to kill?" asked the Joyous Monk with curiosity.

The Bloody Monk shouted, "Wang Tian'an dared to frame the Sha Men which I founded single-handedly. This time I'm going to make sure he doesn't have a single shred left!"

If Wang Tian'an heard this, he would surely regret it to death. He had framed the Sha Men precisely because he had thought the Bloody Monk had been missing for over ten years and presumed he would never appear again. Who knew the Bloody Monk not only reappeared but also came to seek revenge. With the Bloody Monk personally coming over, and bringing a killing machine like white-haired Ding San, Wang Tian'an was doomed this time for sure. If he had known the consequences, he wouldn't have dared to provoke the Sha Men back then no matter what!

The Bloody Monk took white-haired Ding San to the Western Province, while White Horse Chen San was also dealing with Wang Tian'an in the Western Province. A bloody fight in the Western Province was inevitable. Currently, Wang Tian'an was at his wit's end. His greatest trump card, the Twin Life Gu, had been destroyed by Ye Qing. He had no trump cards left. In the Western Province, he was just resisting desperately. With White Horse Chen San alone, his defeat was only a matter of time. Now that the Bloody Monk has also arrived, he probably won't last long.

As for Shenchuan City, Huangfu Ziyu stayed behind. In these few days, she has been helping Ye Qing consolidate the underground forces of Eastern Province.

The Eastern Province had always been Huangfu Ziyu's domain. Although she had withdrawn most of her forces to Xi Hang, it didn't mean she had lost control over the Eastern Province. Before, she half-sold and half-gave most of the Eastern Province's industries to Ye Qing, intending to hand over the province's forces to Ye Qing. Now, having come this far with Ye Qing, she was even more determined to give everything in the Eastern Province to Ye Qing.

Ye Qing himself was not very interested in controlling the underground forces. He was more concerned with matters of the orphanage. Besides, Ye Qing always had a knot in his heart, which was the issue concerning his younger brother Ye Jun. However, Wang Tian'an was still in the Western Province, so he did not dare directly go to the Western Province to look for his brother Ye Jun. The information about Ye Jun being in the Western Province was only known to a few of Ye Qing's closest people; he dared not let it spread. Because if it got out, he feared Wang Tian'an might have malicious intentions. If Wang Tian'an found Ye Jun before he did, that would be disastrous.

Even though Ye Qing wasn't very interested in controlling the underground forces, Li Lianshan was extremely interested. He was now the underground king of Shenchuan City, a height he had never reached or even imagined before. Now, with Huangfu Ziyu handing over the entire Eastern Province's underground forces, Ye Qing handed them all to him. Li Lianshan, of course, was not polite. These days he has been over in Eastern Province City, working with Huangfu Ziyu's subordinates to take over Huangfu Ziyu's territory in Dongzhou.

Huangfu Ziyu knew the relationship between Ye Qing and Li Lianshan, and she understood Ye Qing's character, so she didn't insist on Ye Qing personally taking over. After all, Li Lianshan was brought up by Ye Qing himself. Handing over the underground forces of the Eastern Province to Li Lianshan was no different from handing them to Ye Qing. With her personal approval and her subordinates' assistance, Li Lianshan's takeover of the Eastern Province's underground forces went smoothly.

Of course, during the time Huangfu Ziyu left the Eastern Province, some small forces dared to emerge, trying to rebel while she was absent. However, in front of the East State Poisonous Mantis, these small forces were simply no match. In less than ten days, Li Lianshan had basically taken over the entire Eastern Province's underground forces. Next was to completely control these forces, which would depend on his own methods, not ones Huangfu Ziyu could assist with.

Having been the boss for so long, Li Lianshan was, of course, well-versed in this. Although he had taken over the entire Eastern Province's underground forces, whether the forces in each place truly submitted to him was another matter. When Huangfu Ziyu was present, the forces throughout the Eastern Province were absolutely convinced by her. But now it was someone else, which was different. This kind of thing isn't achieved overnight; Li Lianshan understood this clearly in his heart. His plan was to completely subdue these people within half a year, and that would be enough.

During this period, Ye Qing focused all his attention on the orphanage, striving to make it the best it could be in anticipation of the Capital City Inspection Team's arrival. Actually, there were no issues with the orphanage, but to ensure everything went perfectly, Ye Qing spared no effort to achieve the best.

In mid-December, the inspection team from the Capital finally dispatched and arrived in Shenchuan City. Led personally by Su Kaicheng, they came to inspect Ye Qing's orphanage as preparation for the proposal of private orphanages.

With Su Kaicheng personally leading the team, Ye Qing felt much more at ease. He followed the standard procedure and brought the inspection team into the orphanage. The orphanage had also made sufficient preparations to welcome and cooperate with the inspection.

The Capital Inspection Team, compared to the one from the province at the time, had a completely different way of doing things. The provincial inspection team, after being ambushed by Wang Tian'an's men halfway, bore a grudge against Ye Qing and hardly inspected anything. However, the Capital Inspection Team was different; they were diligent and responsible, almost examining every place, every aspect of the orphanage. At every turn, they took photos and later called in the orphanage staff and some children to ask questions to ascertain the specific conditions of the orphanage.

Fortunately, Ye Qing's orphanage had no issues whatsoever, something Su Kaicheng already knew. Hence, the final inspection results had the team expressing unanimous satisfaction. This inspection report was also sent directly to the Capital as supporting material for Su Guoxuan's proposal, currently being processed further.

The inspection was the biggest event Ye Qing faced before the New Year. After this ended, Ye Qing finally breathed a long sigh of relief; he had been busy with this for a long time. With it finally over, it was now a matter of waiting for the results from the Capital, meaning the rest was up to fate.

However, Su Kaicheng repeatedly assured Ye Qing that there would be no issues with the orphanage. After all, it was Su Guoxuan's proposal, and Ye Qing's orphanage left everyone satisfied. The specific approval was just a matter of time.

The inspection team stayed in Shenchuan City for two days and then left. After seeing them off, Ye Qing finally let out a long breath.

"Damn, it's finally over!" Zhao Chengshuang was even more excited than Ye Qing, gesturing wildly towards Ye Qing, "Ye Zi, hurry up and let my girlfriend out!"

Zhao Chengshuang's girlfriend was Huo Pingping. During this period, to assist with the inspection preparations, everyone in the orphanage was busy, and Huo Pingping had been staying in the orphanage to welcome the inspection. Zhao Chengshuang had been nagging in Ye Qing's ear, urging him to release his girlfriend. Now that it was finally over, he naturally came immediately to Ye Qing to ask for her back.

"Oh please, Cheng Shuang, I saw you living quite the life without Pingping these days!" Li Lianshan laughed on the side, "Just two days ago, I saw a girl in your car, wasn't Pingping, was it?"

"Don't talk nonsense, that was my aunt!" Zhao Chengshuang immediately panicked and said, "You can't spread such rumors, or if Pingping finds out, she'll castrate me for sure!"

"Hahaha..." Everyone in the room burst into laughter. This Zhao Chengshuang, who used to be a playboy, had become noticeably more faithful since starting to date Huo Pingping. Now, in the Zhao Family, he gained satisfaction from the family, progressing in his career and staying loyal in love, no longer the former idle playboy. Thus, the Zhao Family was grooming him to become a pillar of the young generation in the family.

Zhao Chengshuang also lived up to expectations, solving major cases and getting continuous promotions over the past half year. After cracking the case of the Toxic Eel Mercenary Corps, he was promoted to deputy director of the Municipal Bureau and also served as branch chief. Among the many deputy directors in the Shenchuan City Police Department, he was the youngest with the most power and broadest prospects. Some predicted that Zhao Chengshuang could be promoted to the chief of the Shenchuan City Police Department within five years. If no accidents happened, he'd surely climb to Liu Changping's position in the future.
