Chapter 893 Raging Fire
Upon closer inspection, Ye Haitao indeed saw a Douyin (TikTok) influencer livestreaming on the bodyguard's phone.
The scene shows thick smoke billowing and raging fire, with the words "Koizumi Ryoko Club" faintly visible amidst the flames.
Without a doubt, it was the Koizumi Ryoko Clubhouse that caught fire.
In an instant, Ye Haitao broke out in a cold sweat.
The other two bodyguards also peeked out, then turned to look at Ye Haitao, their faces showing the same shock!
"The patriarch was indeed a prophet! Luckily, we evacuated in time!"
The bodyguard captain repeatedly expressed his relief.
"thank you all!"
Ye Haitao stared at the raging fire on the screen, uttered a soft remark, and then slumped back in his chair.
There is no doubt that this fire was targeted at him.
Fortunately, these people kicked down his door in time and took him away; otherwise, he might have been trapped in the fire and burned alive!
"The Koizumi Ryoko Club is on fire!"
Although the club had only been established for a few days and was not well-known, the sudden fire in the capital and the fact that the fire was difficult to control for a while, with fire trucks shuttling through the night with sirens blaring, naturally alarmed the entire capital.
It caused quite a stir in no time!
Not only are major websites reporting on it, but live streams are also playing videos of the event.
"The Koizumi Ryoko Clubhouse is on fire?"
Ye Boxiong quickly received the news and immediately jumped up upon hearing it.
"Yes, patriarch!"
One person replied with their head down.
"Did you manage to rescue the young master?"
"Reporting to the patriarch, we have already rescued the eldest young master! The fire started after he left!"
"That bastard! He still dares to go to places like that! He's infuriating!"
Ye Boxiong immediately breathed a sigh of relief, then began to curse loudly.
Without a doubt, this fire was aimed at Ye Haitao, intending to take his life!
As the man retreated, Ye Boxiong's eyes grew increasingly cold and angry.
"No matter who you are, if you dare to lay a hand on my son, I will make sure your family is destroyed and you die without a burial place!"
He said this coldly and immediately made several phone calls.
"Fire? How could a perfectly good clubhouse catch fire?"
"Where is Young Master Ye? Why haven't we seen him?"
After receiving the 500,000 yuan, Li Jiaming was extremely excited and immediately hired two technicians to provide him with services.
Just as he was feeling smug, a loud shout rang out: "Fire!"
He escaped with two technicians, his clothes disheveled. He saw that a large crowd had already gathered outside, including club staff and passersby.
Li Jiaming looked around but couldn't see Ye Haitao. He became anxious and hurriedly looked towards the VIP room where Ye Haitao was.
The VIP room wasn't on fire; it was the backyard that was on fire, which put my mind at ease.
He was genuinely afraid that the eldest young master of the Ye family would be burned to death inside, which would be a huge responsibility for him, since he was the one who invited Ye Haitao here.
At the same time, he also vaguely felt that something was wrong. Why would someone inexplicably give him 500,000 yuan and ask him to invite Young Master Ye here?
Could it be that the other party is targeting Young Master Ye, and this fire is aimed at him?
The more Li Jiaming thought about it, the more frightened he became.
It doesn't matter if anyone else dies, but Young Master Ye absolutely cannot be harmed!
If Young Master Ye were to be burned to death here, not only would his own life be in danger, but the entire Li family would be doomed.
He suddenly grabbed a staff member of the club and shouted, "Where is your VIP room guest? Has he come out yet?"
"Sir, there's a fire! Everyone was rushing out and didn't pay much attention..."
The man said quickly.
"Didn't notice?"
What are you all good for?!
As staff members, don't you consider the safety of the guests?
Li Jiaming raised his hand and slapped the man hard across the face twice.
The scene was already chaotic enough, with noise everywhere, and his sudden act of hitting someone immediately attracted the attention of many people.
"Isn't that the young master of the Li family? Why did he suddenly start hitting someone?"
Ignoring everyone's stares, Li Jiaming shouted at the other staff members, "Go check if anyone is still in the VIP room!"
Has that gentleman from before come out yet?
Soon, the other staff members of Koizumi Ryoko's Club rushed over.
On the other side, someone in the crowd suddenly pointed at Li Jiaming, "It's him!"
"Quick! Take him away!"
Several figures rushed toward Li Jiaming.
At this moment, before Li Jiaming could figure out whether Ye Haitao had left the room, several people rushed to his side, laughing and pulling him away.
He didn't recognize these people and before he could figure out what was going on, he was shoved into a car.
"Who are you?"
Li Jiaming was shocked and panicked. He struggled and shouted, but the men didn't say a word and drove away into the distance!
"What are you going to do?"
Li Jiaming became increasingly frightened.
At this moment, he already regretted it, regretted his greed for money, and regretted that he had tricked Young Master Ye into going to the Koizumi Ryoko Club for that 500,000!
This is clearly a setup, a setup targeting Young Master Ye!
"Shut your bitch!"
Suddenly, someone punched him hard in the neck.
Li Jiaming's vision went black, and he fainted.
……
Although the Li family is not considered a first-class family in the capital, after three or four generations of hard work, they have now become a second-class family with assets worth hundreds of billions.
The capital city is different from other cities. A family that can become a second-rate family here would definitely be considered a first-rate or even top-tier family in other cities.
The Li family has great ambitions and has been continuously expanding its economic scale.
They plan to double or even triple their strength within the next three or four decades, successfully joining the ranks of first-class families.
From the moment the first patriarch established himself in the capital, every generation of the Li family has worked hard, sharing a common goal: to build a true aristocratic family.
Although there are some spoiled brats in the Li family, overall, most of the family members are excellent and hardworking.
This is what the current head of the family is most proud of.
The Li family was founded by the grandfather of the current head of the family, Li Youcai. Li Youcai is the third head of the family and is now over sixty years old.
However, just as Li Youcai and the rest of the Li family were discussing a major project, a phone call suddenly came in.
This project could bring the family tens of billions in revenue, and the construction period is as long as five years.
Li Youcai looked at the caller ID and quickly and respectfully answered the phone with both hands.
The caller was none other than the person in charge of the project they had just secured.
A project that can generate billions in revenue is definitely a huge project and a lucrative opportunity for the Li family.
The Li family spent a lot of effort and money to secure this project.
This person in charge is not only a benefactor, but also a key figure who can decide who gets the project!
"Mr. Cao, hello. May I ask what brings you here at this hour?"
Not only was Li Youcai's voice respectful, but even though the other person couldn't see his face, he stood up and held the phone with utmost deference.
But what came from the other end of the phone was an angry voice: "Li Youcai! I'm calling to inform you that our cooperation is over and the contract that was about to be signed is canceled!"
"Cancel the cooperation?"
Li Youcai was stunned for a moment and instinctively shouted.
