I Just Won’t Play By The Book

Chapter 191 - Boss Song 2



Chapter 191 Boss Song 2

Ye Shuo, who had not been praised like this for a long time, was instantly happy. He cupped his hands toward Gu Qinghuan and said, “Boss Song is too kind. When did you come to our Jiyuan Town and start this inn?”

“It’s a long story. Young Master Ye, please come in first. We can chat while drinking.”

“Okay, thank you for your good intentions, Boss Song.”

Seeing Brother Qinghuan welcoming Ye Shuo into the inn, Wu Qingce scratched his head in confusion. Although he had heard that Gu Qinghuan had already established some connections in Jiyuan Town a couple days ago. How did he become the boss of such a big

inn?

With such doubts, Wu Qingce followed the two of them into the inn.

After three rounds of drinking, Gu Qinghuan and Ye Fan had become familiar with each other. They chatted for a while in the private room.

After drinking another glass of Bayi Wine, Ye Shuo let out a breath and said, “Boss Song, your idea of using red flame grass is really brilliant. No wonder you can attract many famous people to your inn in such a short time. I’m impressed.”

“Young Master Ye, you flatter me. My little inn still needs valued customers and big shots like you so that it can continue to be good.”

Ye Shuo, who was already a little drunk, waved his hand and shook his head. “What big shot? If I were really a big shot, I wouldn’t have known you until today. I believe that you have also heard about our Ye family, right?”

“A little.”

Seeing that the topic was finally brought to this point, Wu Qingce immediately cupped his hands and said, “I didn’t expect Ye family to suffer so much humiliation because of the annulment. It seems that I have to go back and apologize to Old Master Ye again.”

Hearing Wu Qingce’s words, Ye Shuo immediately sobered up a little. He quickly waved his hand and said, “Brother Wu, please don’t take offense. I’m just talking drunkenly. Please don’t tell my grandfather about this.”

At this moment, Gu Qinghuan shifted his gaze to Wu Qingce and smelled him. “May I know who this is?”

“Oh, let me introduce you.” After saying that, Ye Shuo sat up straight and introduced Wu Qingce. “This is Wu Qingce, the direct disciple of the sect master of Sect of Returning Hearts in Fengzhou. He’s already a level 6 great mystic practitioner and he’s not 20 years old yet.”

After hearing that, Gu Qinghuan’s eyebrows jumped. He cupped his hands in surprise and said, “Brother Wu is really a great talent. You’ll definitely be famous in the future.”

Seeing the natural expression on Gu Qinghuan’s face as if it was the first time they met, Wu Qingce was stunned for a while before he cupped his hands in return and said, “Boss Song, you flatter me.”

His expression was not as natural as Gu Qinghuan’s.

After greeting Wu Qingce, Gu Qinghuan picked up his wine glass and took a sip. He asked, “I have some questions. Can you answer them for me, Brother Wu?”

“Just tell me, Boss Song.”

“Since Brother Wu and Brother Ye don’t seem to have a conflict, then the rumor of breaking off the engagement in this town shouldn’t be the work of the Sect of Returning Hearts,

right?”

“Of course not.” Wu Qingce shook his head immediately. “My trip to Lanzhou this time is to resolve the misunderstanding between two

parties.”

“If that’s the case… then Ye family will definitely not tell anyone about it. How could it spread throughout the entire Jiyuan Town in such a short time?”

Ye Shuo’s eyes widened when he heard that. “That’s right!”

Previously, they thought that it was Lu Qingyin spread the news after she broke off the marriage, but now it seemed like they were wrong.

“Someone must have deliberately wanted to harm our Ye family! How despicable!” Ye Shuo slammed the table and shouted.

Seeing Ye Shuo’s furious face, Gu Qinghuan cupped his hands and said, “If you don’t mind, why don’t you let me help you investigate this matter?”

“You’re willing to help me?” Ye Shuo looked at Gu Qinghuan in surprise.

“It’s my honor to befriend with you, Young Master Ye. Of course, I’m happy to help you.”

“Alright!” After saying that, Ye Shuo patted Gu Qinghuan’s shoulder. “Then it’s settled. If Boss Song can really find out who is trying to frame Ye family, I, Ye Shuo, no, Ye family will definitely repay you generously!”

Hearing that Ye Shuo agreed to accept his help, Gu Qinghuan said, “Okay, then I will do my best. Of course, I will need your cooperation on this matter.”

“It’s settled then!” After saying that, Ye Shuo finished the last glass of wine and stood up abruptly, “I’ll go back and report this to my grandfather now! I’ll take my leave first.”

After saying that, he left the private room in a hurry. Before leaving, Wu Qingce secretly gave Gu Qinghuan a thumbs up, then he quickly followed Ye Shuo.

Under the influence of his drunkenness, Ye Shuo ran back home in a hurry. After asking the butler, he met Ye Lingtian in the study room.

After hearing Ye Shuo’s detailed report, Ye Lingtian nodded and pondered for a while before answering, “From what you said, it seems like you really admire that Boss Song?”

Ye Shuo immediately cupped his hands and replied, “That Song Chengyi was able to attract all the celebrities in Jiyuan Town to his inn in such a short time. He must have some formidable abilities. Furthermore, Hong Tianrui was also very polite to that Boss Song. From their conversation, it seems like that Boss Song helped Hong Tianrui resolve many troublesome matters.”

“Oh?” Ye Lingtian raised his brows, “He has relations with the Hong family too? No wonder this young man was able to gain a foothold in Jiyuan Town in a short time. Interesting.”

“Since you’re interested in him, why don’t I invite him over tomorrow?”

“There’s no rush.” Ye Lingtian waved his hand. “Let’s see what he can find out first.”

“Yes, then I’ll take my leave first.” Ye Shuo cupped his hands.

“Okay, go and rest.”

After waiting for Ye Shuo to leave, Ye Lingtian sat on the chair and pondered for a moment. Then, he asked the guard at the door to bring the butler over.

“Master, are you looking for me?” The butler walked in and asked.

“I heard that a new inn called Taoju opened recently in the town?”

After hearing that, the butler was stunned for a moment before immediately replying, “There is such an inn in the town, but it is not a new inn. The inn’s manager sent an invitation couple months ago.”

After hearing that, Ye Lingtian had no impression of this matter at all. This was because there were too many similar invitations. Most of the time, he would not even glance at them.

Not continuing to discuss this question, Ye Lingtian continued to ask, “Isn’t that inn attract many famous people?”

“It is. A few days ago, the manager of the Guilai Inn mentioned it to me, and even said that many of their businesses were snatched away.”

“Hmm…” nodding his head, Ye Lingtian said, “Get two people to investigate that inn, and find me information on that Boss Song.”

“Understood, Master. I will do it right away.” After saying that, the butler left the study room.

The next night, the butler found Ye Lingtian in the study room and reported, “Master, it has been investigated.”

“Speak.”

After hearing that, the butler said a bunch of things related to Boss Song in one breath. Then, he told Ye Lingtian, “This Boss Song is indeed quite capable. He helped many families to solve many problems and conflicts. The most amazing thing is… I heard that he has a tier 3 alchemist behind him.”

“A tier 3 alchemist?” Ye Lingtian’s eyes lit up when he heard this.

Even in this bustling Jiyuan Town, an alchemist was a profession that was worshipped by many people. This was especially so for someone like a tier 3 alchemist who was already able to refine the sprint medicine. A capable alchemist was extremely popular.

“Alright, bring Shuo’er over.”

“Yes.” The butler cupped his hands and ran out the door.

Soon, Ye Shuo entered the study.

“Shuo’er, go and invite that Boss Song over tomorrow.”

Hearing the word ‘invite’, Ye Shuo was slightly stunned. He could tell that his grandfather must have already investigated that Boss Song and found out that he was indeed not simple. Otherwise, he would not have used the word ‘invite’.

“Yes, I will do it right away.”

Leaving the study room, Ye Shuo went straight to the Taoju Inn and soon found Gu Qinghuan.

“Boss Song, my grandfather invites you to our residence tomorrow.” After saying that, he looked at Gu Qinghuan and said, “There are not many people who can make my grandfather say the word ‘invite’. You are really something.”

“It’s all thanks to everyone. Brother Ye, please go back and tell Old Master Ye that I will definitely come to visit you on time tomorrow.”
