Chapter 99 Revenge

  Lu Shu had always been a very competent subordinate. His reports were written in a dry and straightforward manner, with every detail presented objectively without any subjective speculation or personal feelings, thus avoiding misleading his superiors' analysis.

  "This woman has come to kill Zhao Heng."

  Du Tianxiong glanced over and threw out five questions: "Just why did you want to kill Zhao Heng? Is this woman an old enemy or a new hatred of Zhao Heng's? How did you know Zhao Heng had entered the prison, and how did you know he came out of the prison? The most bizarre thing is that Zhang Xiaolin seemed to have known about the ambush in advance."

  "This shows that Zhang Xiaolin knows who the woman is!"

  The air is heavy with unspoken understanding.

  When Du Tianxiong made an accurate judgment, Lu Shu let out a long sigh: "He knew that the prison killer couldn't handle Zhao Heng, knew we would rescue Zhao Heng, and also knew we could rescue Zhao Heng. Similarly, he knew someone would ambush us and frame Qing Bang, so he brought people to set up an ambush early on."

  "But he would absolutely never admit to knowing the woman!"

  Lu Shu didn't slow down at all, and said his thoughts: "Because that way, it's hard to avoid exposing his early intentions or even his conspiracy, after all, he is now the biggest winner, no need to hurt a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred himself, and also put the prison killer on the woman.

  "This son of a bitch is really cunning, and can turn things around at will."

  A hint of a smile flashed across Du Tianxiong's face, he had already seen through many things: "Now not only can't accuse the prison killer of being his subordinate, but instead made the Du family owe him a favor, most importantly, the masked woman was injured by him, he achieved his most important goal."

  He sincerely sighed and said, "A big rough man is indeed not simple. If he can get rid of that arrogance, there are few people in the world who can surpass him, including me, I would have to give him three points. Unfortunately, his absolute self-confidence led to absolute arrogance, one day, he will fall because of this weakness."

  "Even so, this game is still quite beautifully set up."

  Lu Shu's expression turned solemn: "Will Huahai become turbulent because of this?"

  Du Tianxiong let Lu Shu boil a cup of tea, and after taking a sip, he replied: "For Yu Qingbang, it's indeed time to reshuffle the cards. However, Zhang Xiaolin doesn't dare make any big moves. Before the Du family takes a clear stance, we can't stir up any waves. For now, let's not disturb this troublemaker."

  "It's just that the masked woman must be taught a lesson."

  Du Tianxiong's eyes flashed with a hint of murderous intent, his fingers rubbing against the edge of the teacup: "Borrowing Zhao Heng's chess piece to play tricks and not letting me catch any evidence, I won't have any opinions for the sake of Huahai's stability, but if it threatens Su Yan's life, then she needs to be taught a lesson, otherwise, it will set a bad precedent."

  "The old road is abandoned and overgrown with weeds."

  "He also faintly opened his mouth: 'You should be clear who the masked woman is, right?'"

  "I didn't know originally."

  Lu Shu thought for a moment before responding honestly, "After all, she had half her face covered at the time, and it was getting dark. It wasn't easy to judge who she was, but Zhao Heng said he seemed to have seen her before, and Zhang Xiao Lin had already made plans, so I roughly guessed her identity."

  "But guessing is one thing, having evidence is another."

  "Disable her one arm, at least make her convinced and obedient."

  Du Tianxiong's mouth curled up in a sneer, and he put the teacup on the table before speaking: "What more evidence do we need to convict her? If it weren't for me temporarily needing to stabilize Huahai, I would have had someone dismember her long ago. However, to prevent her from pretending to be crazy, you take the Du family's letter to invite her..."

  In Du Tianxiong's beckoning, Lu Shu took a step forward and listened carefully. Before long, he nodded: "Understood, I'll arrange it immediately!" As he was about to turn around and leave, he remembered something and added: "The lady and the young miss had an argument with Zhao Heng, and the lady seems very unhappy about it."

  "Zhao Heng, etc."

  Du Tianxiong looked at the picture of a soaring eagle on the wall and smiled wryly, "This kid is a genius, but also a disaster star. Looking back at all the big and small things that have happened in Huahai over the past month, which one wasn't caused by him? Even our Du family's internal affairs have been stirred up."

  He said, his voice sinking: "If it weren't for this painting of a heroic eagle and his friendship with Ziyuan, I would have gotten rid of him without hesitation. But he hasn't crossed my bottom line yet, and I don't want to lose another child like Ziyuan, so let's just let him mess around for now."

  Du Tianxiong lowered his head and gently blew the tea leaves, with his bright eyes reflected in the water: "As long as he doesn't stir up trouble at Huahai, making it chaotic like a chicken flying and a dog jumping, and not letting Ziyan and his wife become enemies, the Du family won't have to take action against him. After all, I've been too busy these days, having one more person accompany Ziyan is also not bad."

  Lu Shu nodded lightly: "Understood!"

  As he walked out of the Du's family gate, he gazed up at the sky and sighed: "It's going to rain!"

  As night approached, it indeed started raining lightly in the sky.

  The rain pattered against the window, casting a bleak atmosphere over everything. At 6 o'clock, Yan Ruyu had already sent a car to pick them up. As Zhao Heng and his two companions walked out of the dormitory building with their umbrellas, a Range Rover with four eights on its license plate drove by from the side, its window opening slightly before quickly closing again.

  "Mr. Ding's private car!"

  Song Qingguan's eyes were fixed on the departing Range Rover as he spoke in a light tone, "This license plate was a gift from a connection to Ding San Shao for his 18th birthday, it wasn't expensive, just 33 million. To this day, no one has broken the record of this license plate's auction, and rumor has it that its price has risen to 5 million."

  "The wine and meat in the grand house are stinky, while on the road there are frozen bones."

  Qiao Yuncai opened the car door and sat in, throwing out a sentence with a hint of flavor. Zhao Heng looked very calm, his voice was flat and smooth: "The current prosperity of the Ding family is related to the efforts of their parents and ancestors. If you want your own descendants to be well-off, you have to work hard yourself."

  "Jealousy is a curse and it's very shameful."

  Song Qingguan nodded in agreement: "That makes sense!" He then added, "Boss, why hasn't Ding Sanshao come to bother you? Logically speaking, with the way he and Ziyuan have been at odds, he should be furious and attack you, but instead he's been unusually calm."

  Zhao Heng smiled faintly: "How do you know there isn't?"

  "This little guy is a ruthless killer."

  Song Qingguan first slightly shook, then nodded thoughtfully, and the three of them exchanged a few simple smiles about the Ding family and the Ding siblings. He waved his hand to let the driver of the first floor leave, and on such a gloomy rainy day, finding a warm and clean room to brew a pot of wine and chatting slowly was the most comfortable thing to do.

  The carriage quickly drove to the location of Ye Shifu's banquet, and soon stopped in front of a beautiful small house. Yan Ruyu was already waiting with two women. The first floor, apart from having dozens of rooms scattered all over the country, also indirectly controlled many properties, which could be considered wealthy and arrogant.

  Yan was still as capable and refined, still as courteous and polite. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, she invited Zhao Heng and the others in, meanwhile not forgetting to ask about Zhao Heng's injuries, even offering to introduce a certain Dr. Huahai who was quite famous, to examine and treat him.

  "Miss Yan, why do I feel like you're studying me?"

  Zhao Heng smiled meaningfully and politely declined her kindness: "My injury has already been treated at the university hospital, except for some minor external injuries, nothing serious, so I won't bother Miss Ye. Most importantly, I'm a person who is naturally afraid of seeing doctors."

  Yan's face was like jade, her mouth corners slightly moving, and finally nodded: "Then I'll respect your opinion."

  Zhao Heng suddenly changed the subject: "Go see Miss Ye, don't keep her waiting."

  "Please, this way!"

  When Zhao Heng pushed the door open, the lights in the hall were slowly turning on. The seating arrangement was a traditional Chinese style called "group stars accompanying the moon", which was popular among high-ranking families in Huahai for its warm and lively atmosphere.

  "Miss, Zhao Heng has arrived!"

  In the midst of embarrassment, Ye Shishi, with a charming face, stood up straight and leaned towards Zhao Heng like a beautiful lily, her fragrance wafting as she smiled: "Young brother, you've finally figured it out. If you didn't come out, everyone would have been worried sick. Come, I've prepared the best wine and dishes for you today."

  "We won't leave until we're drunk!"

  PS: Thank you everyone, 80 roses, breaking 100 is within sight...
