Investigate the background before making contact?

Zhang Jingshan's words caused Li Changfeng's eyes to twitch uncontrollably.

He couldn't help but say, "Brother Ye, please forgive my bluntness, but even Jingshan couldn't find out anything about their background, which shows it's definitely not simple.

With such a background, do you think they're short of money?

No matter how much we offer, we might not be able to acquire it from them."

"Oh, I forgot about that!" Zhang Jingshan belatedly realized the issue.

He then shook his head with a wry smile.

"Brother Ye, Changfeng is right. On second thought, the possibility of acquiring this place is practically zero. Think about it, this training base almost connects all the influential second-generation figures from officialdom, business, and the military in Jiangzhou! Whoever runs this kind of training base is definitely not lacking in funds. If they're not short of money, why would they give up such a place? It's too unrealistic!"

Was Zhang Jingshan right?

He was absolutely right!

Therefore... if it hadn't been for Li Changfeng's earlier strange reaction, Ye Chen definitely wouldn't have coveted this place, much less act so oblivious and unrealistically covet it!

However, Li Changfeng's strange reaction stirred something within him.

Wanting to buy the training base was just a pretext.

Ye Chen's real purpose was to use this as a way to further test if Li Changfeng was truly as he suspected!

"Brother Ye, if you really want to build a training base, it's not a problem. Why do you have to buy this one? Moreover, buying this place wouldn't be convenient! Unless you shut down the Yanhuang Fighting Training Base to the public and prevent those influential second-generation figures from entering, it wouldn't align with your original intention of buying it!" Li Changfeng said anxiously.

He had originally intended to use the Yanhuang Fighting Training Base to see if he could uncover Li Changfeng's true identity.

But after hearing Li Changfeng's repeated remarks, Ye Chen knew it was a lost cause!

Because what the other party said was indeed true.

"So, if you really need a training base, Brother Ye, it would be better to buy a piece of land and build one. Wouldn't that be much better than buying the Yanhuang Fighting Training Base?" Li Changfeng quickly added.

"That makes sense. It seems that's really the case!" Ye Chen smiled faintly, a meaningful look in his eyes as he looked at Li Changfeng.

In fact, he had long sensed that Li Changfeng's background was definitely extraordinary.

But at that time, Li Changfeng's identity wasn't important to him, so he hadn't thought about investigating it.

It wasn't until the appearance of Tang Song, Zhu Wu, and Song Yu.

They had indeed startled him, and made him so curious about Li Changfeng's identity that he could hardly contain himself.

However, under Li Changfeng's strong yet tactful dissuasion, Ye Chen knew... no matter how curious he was, he had to know when to stop.

"Brother Ye, if you really want to build a top-tier security consulting firm, could you bring me in as a partner?" Completely oblivious to the subtle exchange between Ye Chen and Li Changfeng, Zhang Jingshan said with an ingratiating smile after understanding Ye Chen's intention.

However, this time, Li Changfeng didn't chime in.

A top-tier security consulting firm was something he couldn't, and wouldn't dare, to get involved in!

Because the nature of it was too sensitive!

"You're not suitable!" Ye Chen shook his head.

"Why am I not suitable?" Zhang Jingshan asked.

"There's no particular reason! But when the company is established, you can help with promotion, recommending our security consulting services to the powerful and wealthy. You'll get a commission!" Ye Chen joked with a smile.

Hearing this, Zhang Jingshan had no choice but to give up completely.

And seeing that Ye Chen no longer showed interest in the Yanhuang Fighting Training Base, Li Changfeng truly breathed a sigh of relief.

He then quickly changed the subject.

"Oh, Brother Ye, I almost forgot to tell you. I received news, although it hasn't been officially confirmed yet, it should be almost certain. The development rights for Banshan will most likely be auctioned at the beginning of next month. However, a newly established shell company like ours definitely won't be invited by the government to participate in the auction. We'll have to apply ourselves!" Li Changfeng said.

"Then you should apply. If there are no surprises, no one should be competing with us, so the price shouldn't be too high. You can handle these matters. I'll arrange the project plan as soon as possible, and you can directly take over the entire project then!" Ye Chen said.

"Okay, no problem!" Li Changfeng nodded.

Ye Chen smiled and said nothing more.

He turned around, overlooking the entire training base at a glance, and smiled leisurely.

"What a pity. It's a pity this place can't be bought. Otherwise, watching special training from this location would definitely evoke a heroic feeling of powerful troops and strong horses!" These words made Li Changfeng's eyes twitch again.

He really didn't want Ye Chen to mention this again!

Turning back again, he said, "Let's not talk about that anymore. Jingshan, I'm counting on you for Youyou's school transfer! And Changfeng, if you have time, help me look for land. See if there's a suitable location to build a training base. If there is, I'll buy it immediately and invest in the construction of the base facilities!"

"Alright!"

"No problem, Brother Ye. I'll start looking as soon as I get back!" Zhang Jingshan and Li Changfeng responded in unison.

Patting both of them on the shoulders, Ye Chen said, "Okay, that's it for today. I'll go back to the company first and arrange the bodyguard matters."

From beginning to end, Ye Chen didn't ask Li Changfeng about the background of the three men.

Little did he know that the more he acted this way, the more uneasy Li Changfeng felt.

Well... how to put it, it was a very peculiar feeling.

He was both afraid that Ye Chen would ask about the background of Tang Song and the other two, and also afraid that Ye Chen wouldn't ask about it at all.

Because if he didn't ask at all, it would be a sign of something unusual!

But in the end, Ye Chen didn't mention anything about Tang Song and the others.

After leaving the lounge bar, Wang Meng drove, Li Fei sat in the passenger seat, and Ye Chen sat in the back, heading back to Yi Ren Ru Xue.

Behind the Mercedes G-Wagon, Tang Song, Zhu Wu, and Song Yu rode in the same car.

After returning to the entrance of Yi Ren Ru Xue's company, Tang Song and the others originally didn't plan to get out of the car.

After all, they were responsible for covert protection and didn't need to be close like bodyguards.

But at Ye Chen's invitation, they still got out of the car with expressionless faces.

Just as the three of them followed Ye Chen into the company, Song Yu suddenly said, "President Ye, given how much importance you place on personal safety, I have a suggestion!"

"Oh? What suggestion? Go ahead!" Ye Chen was slightly taken aback.

"Let's replace all the cars with bulletproof ones. I believe you're not short of that little bit of money now!" Song Yu said.
