I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

Chapter 154 An Apology Cannot Be Empty-Handed

"What long legs! Ah, no, what a long chest, ah, that's not right either..." Zhang Menglong was absolutely convinced he was a gentleman; it wasn't that he insisted on looking, but that he genuinely had no way to avoid seeing.

"Mr. Zhang, let me serve you tonight." Lee Ji-eun still didn't look up; mustering all her courage to come to Zhang Menglong's room alone that evening was almost too much for her.

"Are the people of Qingqiu Country always so bold?" Zhang Menglong gradually calmed down, figuring he could guess what was on Lee Ji-eun's mind.

If she became his woman, vile elements in the entertainment industry or political willpower would no longer be able to impose themselves upon Lee Ji-eun. Anyone who harbored ill intentions towards her would have to consider whether they could afford to provoke Zhang Menglong.

Zhang Menglong's woman, even if he only slept with her once, would always enjoy his protection! Just like the Emperor's woman, even if she fell out of favor, she was not someone any official dared to molest.

But Lee Ji-eun had motives beyond just that, because Su Zhihe had always been keeping contact with her!

A day went by, and Zhang Menglong didn't give them the time of day. That day, Qingqiu Country's cash reserves had dwindled by several hundred trillion. Although they had robust financial support, and the urgency was lessened, the affairs of the neighboring country reminded them that as long as Zhang Menglong was in Qingqiu Country, they could at any time face the same situation.

Therefore, they had to soothe Zhang Menglong's mood and get him to leave Qingqiu Country peacefully. Only then would they be safe.

However, it was clear that Zhang Menglong was unwilling to negotiate or leave, which meant his anger had not subsided. Lee Ji-eun had just been repeatedly urged to make Zhang Menglong agree to negotiations by any means necessary, or else, even if she sacrificed herself for her country, her family would still not end well.

It was because of this reason that Lee Ji-eun had such bold thoughts that night.

"If you merely seek my protection, that is easy!" Zhang Menglong suddenly spoke to the air, "Ye Yin, come out, don't scare anyone!"

"Mr. Zhang, what do you need?" Ye Yin's figure suddenly appeared from outside the door, standing behind Lee Ji-eun.

Lee Ji-eun clearly had not expected someone to appear so suddenly behind her, and she shuddered in fright, but then immediately realized she was wearing nothing but her undergarments and quickly hugged her chest with both arms.

"Don't be afraid; this is my personal bodyguard," Zhang Menglong said as he picked up a robe from the floor and draped it over Lee Ji-eun, "Are they using your family to threaten you?"

Lee Ji-eun trembled and then nodded, but actually, there were also some selfish thoughts she had not voiced.

"Ye Yin, are there others like you in Qingqiu Country?"

"Only one," Ye Yin said, "But if needed, in ten minutes, I can assemble ten thousand people. However, I believe that for what you need to do, one person is enough, even if it is to wipe Qingqiu Country off the world map."

"That powerful?" To be honest, Zhang Menglong had seen Ye Yin walk through walls and tread on air, but still knew little about the capabilities of someone like him. Maybe they had the force of a human-shaped nuclear weapon? Like the Reincarnators in the sci-fi novel 'Infinite Terror,' capable of flattening a city with a single punch.

As for Lee Ji-eun, her expression was even more exaggerated. It was bad enough this person materialized silently beside her, but to speak of wiping Qingqiu Country off the map, could this person be a terrorist? Or maybe just a delusional teenager who watched too many animes and read too many novels?

"Why don't you take a trip to Qingqiu Country's treasury?" Zhang Menglong suggested.

"Mr. Zhang, protecting you is my primary mission, I will not leave your side, unless you possess the power of the Super God Academy," Ye Yin said.

"Wait, are you saying that through that darn academy, I can become as powerful as you?" Zhang Menglong caught on to the key point.

"You will know when the time comes, Mr. Zhang. Your father has ordered that until you unlock the permissions, it is better that you not know," Ye Yin said.

"All this secrecy," Zhang Menglong muttered, "Well, no matter, there are only about $300 billion left in the quota anyway. I will work hard to complete the mission before the New Year."

"That person from Qingqiu Country, can you command the movement of the earth?" Zhang Menglong asked.

"Mr. Zhang, your order is the highest directive,"

"OK, then have him go to the Finance Ministry's family compound and tell that Su Zhihe, if Lee Ji-eun, Lisa, or Liu Renna's family and friends are subjected to the slightest threat, not only will I cut off their water, electricity, and gas, but they also won't be able to import a single drop of crude oil from abroad, and quite possibly, they won't even be able to save their own lives!"

"Yes, Mr. Zhang, I understand your request." Ye Yin suddenly closed her eyes, standing motionless in place.

"Are you sending a telegram here?" Zhang Menglong said with a smile.

A moment later, Ye Yin reopened her eyes, "Mr. Zhang, we can expect the results of this within five minutes."

"Mm, very good. You may go."

"Yes?" Ye Yin replied and then disappeared into the darkness.

"All right, Ji-eun, they should not dare to do anything to your family now. You can go back and sleep with peace of mind." Zhang Menglong said to Lee Ji-eun, "Also, I have a girlfriend, so don't imagine me to be so sordid. In fact, I called the three of you here simply because my girlfriend and I are fans of you all."

"Mr. Zhang, actually..." Lee Ji-eun was about to express her feelings when her phone in her robe pocket rang.

"Mr. Zhang... it's... it's Representative Su..."

"Answer it, turn on the speaker!" Zhang Menglong instructed.

"Lee Ji... Miss Lee, I'm sorry, it's my fault, I'm not human, I shouldn't have threatened you using your family, I was wrong, I dare not do it again!"

"This..." Lee Ji-eun could tell that this was indeed Su Zhihe's voice, but she had never seen such a humble Su Zhihe before, as his usual tone when speaking to her was always so arrogant.

"Representative Su, is everything all right?"

"No, no, no, Miss Lee, please don't use formal language with me, I'm begging you, please forgive me, for if Mr. Zhang's people don't kill me, our Prime Minister will!"

"Is it that serious?" Lee Ji-eun looked at Zhang Menglong with a puzzled gaze.

What exactly had Zhang Menglong's people done to Su Zhihe in the five minutes since issuing that order?

"Let me handle it!" Zhang Menglong took the phone from Lee Ji-eun's hand. Explore more at empire

"Su Zhihe, it's me."

"Mr. Zhang? Mr. Zhang, please spare me! I won't dare to use such methods to threaten Miss Lee again, please calm down."

"You threatened her, not me. Why should I be angry? Of course, I had no reason to be angry," Zhang Menglong's tone took on a sardonic edge, "however, since Ji-eun's family is under threat, and my girlfriend is her fan, my girlfriend is very angry, so now, I am very angry!"

"I understand!" Su Zhihe was quick on the uptake, "I will definitely visit Miss Lee tomorrow, and I will do my best to earn her forgiveness."

"That's your business," Zhang Menglong said in a nonchalant tone, "By the way, remember, we Huaxia people have a tradition: you can't visit to apologize empty-handed. I'm sure you understand what I mean."

"Understood! Understood! I will definitely satisfy Miss Lee and Mr. Zhang!"
