Ye Qiu didn’t take it seriously at all, nor did he ever think of letting Young Master Zhou and these spoiled brats help him, because he simply didn’t need them.

Young Master Li felt a bit awkward, thinking that his family background and connections could at least help Ye Qiu somehow, but unexpectedly, the other side didn’t take it seriously at all.

He had already heard that last night Ye Qiu was actually attacked by two assassins, but neither succeeded.

While waiting there for a short time, a waitress from the Green Hill Manor delivered the food they had just ordered.

It mainly consisted of seafood, and Ye Qiu found that the taste was similar to the dishes at the Mongolian Lamb Manor, though this place primarily served game dishes, which Ye Qiu simply hadn’t ordered.

After eating, it was already past one in the afternoon, and Cao Long suggested, "Doctor Ye, are you planning to head back to the hotel to rest, or go out for some fun?"

"Is there anywhere fun in Capital City?"

"Yes, over at Changlu Manor, you can ride horses or play golf."

Changlu Manor?

Ye Qiu hadn’t heard of it before, but Changlu Manor was not just about dining; it offered other leisure activities, mainly horse riding and golfing.

It’s a high-end club, open only to individuals with significant wealth, with an annual membership fee of at least half a million.

"Let’s go check it out."

When they got into the car, Ye Qiu drove and followed them to the entrance of Changlu Manor, realizing it was also located in the suburbs of Capital City.

Arriving there, he saw a vast expanse of lush green grassland, which must be Changlu Manor.

After parking the car, club staff from Changlu Manor came over.

Seeing it was Cao Long and the others, Cao Long was a member here, but he was considered quite ordinary among the Capital City elites.

However, Young Master Zhou and his group were a different story.

When greeted by Young Master Zhou and prepared to lead them inside, Ye Qiu and Cao Ling got out of the car. Since they came with Young Master Zhou, the guards didn’t dare to really stop Ye Qiu and the group.

Once inside, Ye Qiu could see more clearly; it was a large grassland, including a hillside. In fact, this was already quite suburban, but acquiring such a large area and establishing a club like this was indeed impressive.

Since it was summer vacation, the afternoon sun was scorching, still very hot, making the weather unsuitable for activities like golf or horse riding.

Arriving at the main building of Changlu Manor, inside were facilities for swimming, bowling, billiards, and other noble sports.

Many Capital City elites become senior members here, often to meet other people.

Ye Qiu didn’t expect there to be this many people inside at this time.

Especially, as he saw these strangers like Ye Qiu and Cao Ling arriving, they attracted quite a bit of attention. What stood out even more was that even though Lin Xiang and the three girls were considered school belle-level beauties, Cao Ling further highlighted her peerless charm.

Cao Ling’s beauty quickly drew the attention of many young elites.

Of course, those people also saw Cao Long and Young Master Zhou.

"Doctor Ye, what shall we do for fun?" Cao Long asked.

With such heat outside, we have to wait for the sun to set before possibly going horse riding or golfing; for now, we can only play indoors.

Ye Qiu hadn’t tried bowling before, and neither had Liu Lingxiu and Xiaomai, but Cao Ling and Lin Xiang had already played.

However, Ye Qiu hadn’t played before, but it seemed bowling posed no challenge to him.

At the bowling area, Ye Qiu saw a stylishly dressed, straight-standing young man with sharp eyes, bending over to throw a bowling ball.

When the ball hit the pins, it knocked down nine of the ten pins, which was a decent score.

The young man seemed to frown, as people around him cheered and clapped as if he were very impressive.

When the young man used powder to rub his hands before throwing the ball again, this time two pins remained standing, yet applause and cheers persisted.

"Doctor Ye, he’s the leader."

Cao Long whispered.

The leader?

"What leader?"

"Crown Prince’s Faction."

There’s a leader of the Crown Prince’s Faction in Capital City, and in East Sea City as well. Such leaders have undeniably impressive family backgrounds and are extremely capable, whether in government, business, or military. These people generally find things much easier than ordinary folks.

Moreover, with their abilities, they have smooth sailing in life.

Crown Prince’s Faction leader?

Ye Qiu couldn’t care less about any leader.

Considering that Cao Long and Young Master Zhou were not in the same circle as the Crown Prince’s Faction leader, at most they’d greet him respectfully when they saw him.

Cao Long didn’t expect to encounter him here today; had he known, he wouldn’t have brought Ye Qiu.

"Why did you just applaud? Do you think the Crown Prince played poorly?"

Cao Long and Young Master Zhou had both clapped earlier, but Ye Qiu and his group merely stood watching, and this ordinarily dressed young man seemed to have a contemptuous look towards the Crown Prince. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Applaud? Why would I applaud? Should I shower praise when someone’s playing like crap?"

Playing like crap?

Those around thought they misheard, suddenly silent as if the atmosphere had gone quiet.

They never expected this unfamiliar young man to be bold enough to mockingly comment on how the Crown Prince’s Faction leader played bowling.

"If you play better than me, I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that. If you don’t know how or play worse than me, I’ll ask you to take back your words."

The young man looked keenly at Ye Qiu as he spoke.

He might intimidate others, but who was Ye Qiu?

Even Cao Long and Young Master Zhou were surprised, having just informed Ye Qiu earlier that this young man was the Crown Prince’s Faction leader, yet Ye Qiu seemed to disregard him completely.

This worried Cao Long and the others about Ye Qiu’s safety.

After all, this Crown Prince isn’t someone who can be easily offended, even they steer clear of him, best to avoid contact.

Touch the dragon’s scales, you die.

This saying was meant for people like this young man, and it was clear everyone else could see this unfamiliar young man had provoked the Crown Prince’s Faction leader.

"Haha, just a bunch of sycophants."

Sycophants?

On hearing this, the young man’s expression worsened, indicating the young man wasn’t merely referring to the surrounding people trying to flatter him.

At this point, Ye Qiu not only provoked this young man but also the other Capital City elites and onlookers.

Even though that’s what everyone thought, few dared to say it aloud like Ye Qiu.
