By then, the entire Xijiang Provincial Government, aside from the Suye Group between him and Wang Ye, and the Jiang Family where Jiang Mie belonged, would probably be the most powerful family.

Upon hearing Zhao Han's words, Jiang Mie also responded with a chuckle:

"Oh, what I do is just some small business, only Director Zhao engages in lasting business."

"I heard that Director Zhao has recently taken on some official business, and just this one time, who knows how much profit it will make."

After chatting for a while, Zhao Han finally turned to Jiang Mie and asked, "Brother Jiang Mie, what brings you to me this time?"

Having been the Head of Zhao Family for a long time, Zhao Han naturally understood many things at a glance.

Jiang Mie had been busy mining True Stone recently, and he definitely wouldn't come to seek him out without a reason under such circumstances.

Since he had come to see him, there must definitely be a reason.

"Director Zhao."

Jiang Mie handed a water-blue True Stone to Zhao Han and respectfully addressed him, "Director Zhao, your nephew, Wang Ye..."

Wang Ye?

On hearing the name "Wang Ye," Zhao Han nonchalantly took the water-blue True Stone.

In Zhao Han's view, Jiang Mie visiting him now likely meant he wanted to discuss a cooperation with Wang Ye.

After all, with the True Stone Vein mining, Jiang Mie's strength was not very strong; he needed a powerful Martial Warrior as a backup to safely sell the True Stone.

If that was the case, then it would not be impossible for him to facilitate and promote this matter.

Seeing Zhao Han accept the water-blue True Stone, Jiang Mie breathed a sigh of relief.

In Jiang Mie's view, Zhao Han's acceptance of the water-blue True Stone indicated that Zhao Han had agreed to help him.

"My son..."

Jiang Mie roughly explained the situation to Zhao Han, only to see Zhao Han, who had been all smiles moments before, suddenly display a flicker of anger, tossing the water-blue True Stone in front of Jiang Mie, his voice much colder:

"I can't help with this matter!"

Although, given the current relationship between Zhao Han and Wang Ye, if Zhao Han were willing to speak up, Wang Ye would definitely listen to him and release Jiang Chen.

But in Zhao Han's view, let alone Wang Ye, even he himself could hardly tolerate it.

Bullying his nephew's woman?

That Zhao Han hadn't turned hostile with Jiang Mie on the spot was already quite generous.

Jiang Mie, seeing Zhao Han throw back the water-blue True Stone, was slightly stunned, but soon realized Zhao Han had decided not to help him.

Jiang Mie's expression immediately turned ugly.

His lips parted slightly, wanting to speak, but seeing such a grim look on Zhao Han's face, Jiang Mie knew that no matter what he said next, Zhao Han would not help him.

"Sigh."

Jiang Mie sighed, bid Zhao Han farewell, but Zhao Han did not even respond.

Jiang Mie could only hold the water-blue True Stone and walk out of Zhao Han's office.

As he walked, even the height of his lifting shoes was significantly less than when he arrived, and his silhouette was very forlorn.

Zhao Han watched Jiang Mie's forlorn silhouette and continued to busy himself with his work.

Jiang Mie was just trying to save himself, which Zhao Han understood.

If the offending party had been someone else, Zhao Han might have helped. But since the offender was Wang Ye, the fact that Zhao Han hadn't strangled Jiang Mie on the spot was already quite merciful.

…

The next day.

Jiang Mie sat in his office, his face as still as dead water.

Yesterday, after his failed visit to Zhao Han, he had visited the heads of the other four major families in Yun City.

The heads of the other four major families, upon learning of his son's actions, had outright rejected Jiang Mie. Especially after learning that even Zhao Han had turned him down, their attitudes became even more resolute.

Tan Long was even so enraged he had wanted to strike Jiang Mie there and then. If it hadn't been for Jiang Mie's timely departure, he might've been confined to bed today.

Jiang Mie glanced at a photo of Jiang Chen and sighed.

Thanks to the nourishment of True Stone, Jiang Mie's physique was quite robust—not even staying up two nights in a row typically bothered him much.

But now, due to his complete exhaustion, his face showed a very weary expression.

When he had told Jiang Chen that they had a Zhen Stone Vein and need not fear anything, he truly hadn't expected that Jiang Chen would offend Wang Ye right from the start…

Otherwise, Jiang Mie would definitely not have said such things to Jiang Chen.

"Today I'll go to Wang Ye to admit my faults and see if I can bring Chen'er back. If Wang Ye still disagrees, then I will go directly to the officials of other provincial governments. With this Zhen Stone Vein, officials from other provinces will surely accept us."

Jiang Mie silently planned in his heart.

However.

Just as Jiang Mie was thinking this, he heard a series of messy noises outside the hall. Just as Jiang Mie had stood up, Wang Ye had already led a group of Martial Warriors from the Yun City Martial Arts School into Jiang Mie's hall.

Jiang Mie had his own hired Martial Warriors.

But even without Wang Ye having to lift a finger, just the members of the Yun City Martial Arts Association alone could easily deal with Jiang Mie's Martial Warriors.

Wang Ye walked into the hall, his reflection clearly mirrored on the Mona Lisa floor tiles, his gaze at Jiang Mie filled with authority.

After a cold glance at Jiang Mie, Wang Ye casually waved his hand and said,

"Seize him!"

As his voice fell, the members of the Yun City Martial Arts Association behind him swarmed towards Jiang Mie.

"Why are you seizing me? Even if my son made a mistake, you shouldn't grab me, it has nothing to do with me!" Jiang Mie yelled out.

He had been planning to visit Wang Ye, but he hadn't expected that Wang Ye would come to him instead.

"What does it have to do with you?"

Wang Ye snorted coldly and said,

"First, among the Martial Warriors you employed, many have a criminal background. Even though you knew about their past, you not only failed to report it but also continued to employ them heavily."

"Secondly, when you were mining the True Stone Vein, there were residents nearby who weren't willing to leave, but you proceeded with forced demolition."

"Third, when you previously mined the jade vein, you didn't adhere to the mining standards after the excavation, causing the village above the mined vein to collapse and the homes to become hazardous."

"Fourth…"
