Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Eight Immortals Cross the Sea
"How can you say such a thing?"
In this magnificent room, the white curtains swayed gently in the soft breeze, and the chilly autumn weather was surprisingly warm and spring-like here. The half-servant swaying in the white gauze on the sofa looked at Yan Ruyi with a gentle and weak smile: "What's the astonishing move?"
"He's really too experienced."
Then, Yan Ruyu told all of Qiao Yuncun's words, and during the explanation, Ye Shishi slowly raised his head. Although there was no unexpected expression on his face, a hint of curiosity flashed across: "Use your own method? This kid seems to have some background, otherwise how could he say such a thing?"
Yan Yuruo gently shook her head: "I also find it strange."
"Find an opportunity to let someone go to Hua Xi to investigate the details of Bao Zi."
Ye Shishishi's mouth curved into a sly smile, exuding her own unique charm: "I thought this fatty was just a bit talented last time, but now it seems his background is also somewhat impressive. You should dig up his origins, Hua Xi, Tan Dou, could he be from the Qiao family's big house?"
"The people of Qiao Family Compound?"
Yan Ruyu's face flashed a hint of surprise, and she furrowed her brow as she replied, "This can't be possible, right? The Qiao family's compound is the hub of the world, and every one of the eighteen managers they've cultivated are renowned millionaires in Huaguo. How could this Qiao Yuncai possibly look like that?"
。”
"Don't judge a person by appearance!"
Ye Shishishi polished her nails, smiled faintly: "Maybe this kid is pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger? However, when investigating him, we must be careful. Although the Qiao family's compound does not have the terrifying power of the four major families, Old Man Qiao's cunning is unparalleled in the world. We can't alarm him during our investigation."
Yan nodded lightly: "Understood!"
The Qiao Family Compound is located in the territory of one of the four major families, the Xi family, and can even be said to be a treasure of the Xi family. However, from start to finish, the Xi family has never laid hands on the Qiao Family Compound, nor have they swallowed it up to expand their own power. This is a great wonder in both Huaxi and the entire Hua country.
After all, apart from Hua Hai, the major and minor forces of the entire Huagu had been almost completely divided up by the four big families. The fact that the Qiao family's compound could maintain its independence spoke volumes, so Ye Shishi ordered Yan Ruyi not to disturb the Qiao family steward, lest they stir up unnecessary trouble for the First House.
"Zhao Heng and his gang are really interesting."
Ye Shishi smiled slightly: "It seems that Huahai won't be too lonely." She suddenly sighed, her gaze passing through the layers of white gauze to look out the window. Her beautiful face had a dazed expression, with eyebrows and eyes like a painting, and a divine demeanor. Even Yan Ruyi beside her couldn't help but stare blankly.
The host is indeed charming and alluring!
"They're actually interesting."
Yan Ruoyu took a deep breath and continued, "However, now is not the time to investigate the origin of the fat boy, but rather how to deal with Zhao Heng. Miss, apart from having someone secretly keep an eye on Zhao Heng, we haven't done anything else. This will make Zhao Heng suspect our sincerity!"
She furrowed her brow, revealing a hint of worry: "Even Lian Qiao can see that we're slacking off, let alone Zhao Heng, who can grasp the subtleties. If we don't rescue him immediately, he might harbor resentment towards us in the future. Miss, I still can't understand your move."
Ye Shishi smiled faintly: "I want to kill his sharp spirit."
Ye Shisheng has an inexplicable feeling towards Zhao Heng, with a deep-seated tenderness like a gentle breeze that makes her want to rely on him, but reality also wants to control Zhao Heng and enjoy the sense of accomplishment from dominating this arrogant man, perhaps this is Ye Shisheng's desire for conquest.
Yan Ruyu was slightly stunned, a hint of surprise flashing across her face: "Kill his sharpness?" Then, as if she had suddenly realized something: "Miss thinks Zhao Heng is too self-righteous and arrogant, wanting to use this storm to suppress Zhao Heng, let him know that Huahai is not so easy to mix."
"Will this make it easier for him to take over the first floor?"
She can't see through her master's heart, but she can capture the surface things.
Ye Shishi nodded slightly, with a smile that could charm the nation: "If he didn't know that Huahai was in trouble, how would Zhao Heng be willing to become the first gun? Having confidence is not a bad thing, but Zhao Heng's kind of confidence is no longer just confidence, it's wolf-like ambition."
"Give him the chance and he will swallow me, the first floor and even the whole Hua Hai."
。”
Although Ye Shishi was stating Zhao Heng's ambition deep in his heart, there was still a hint of appreciation in her eyes. She had always liked people who looked down on the world, and only men who dominated the rivers and lakes and pointed at the mountains could climb to the height that made people look up to them, and only then could Ye Shishi look up to him:
"I don't have the ability to control him, I can only borrow others' help to dull his sharp edge."
After the voice fell, the phone in the house rang. In Ye Shifu's slight tilt of her head, Yan Ruyu stepped forward to pick up the receiver and connect it. Not long after, a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes. After putting down the phone, she took two steps forward and reported to Ye Shifu in a low voice: "The prison has sent over a message."
She took a deep breath and explained the situation: "Last night and this morning, there were two violent incidents. Zhao Heng knocked down two groups of people in the cafeteria. One group was the prison's notorious Snake Scar and his accomplices, and the other was a group of unidentified assassins. Zhao Siqing is currently investigating their backgrounds."
She tried to elaborate on the intelligence: "Zhao Heng's conflict with Knife Scar was purely a result of the old and new prisoners' show of force, which escalated into a large-scale group beating in the morning. As a result, Zhao Heng knocked them down, but unexpectedly, more than ten assassins appeared at the end, attacking Zhao Heng with iron bars."
Ye Shishi put away her nail polish and asked with a radiant smile: "How's Zhao Heng doing?"
"He was only slightly injured."
Yan Ruyu couldn't see through her master's intentions anymore, but she still reported the intelligence she had obtained: "However, the prisoners and assassins who were brutally treated by him are pitiful, probably all seriously injured. The prisoner was due to a trivial dispute, which can be ignored, but the assassin's arrival is somewhat suspicious."
Ye Shishishi smiled faintly: "What's so strange? It must be the Qing Bang's doing."
"Qing Bang?"
Yan Ruyu's eyes flashed with surprise, revealing a bewildered expression: "Didn't Zhang Xiaolin drink and toast with Du Tianxiong? Didn't he publicly agree not to bother Zhao Heng again? Why hire a killer to do the job? Is Zhang Xiaolin not afraid that Du Tianxiong will find out and wipe out the entire Qing Bang?"
"How to extinguish? Zhang Xiaolin had washed away the evidence long ago."
Ye Shishi seemed to be very familiar with the old opponent's style: "He even has a possible substitute ready, and this time it also involves Zhao Siqing and the Ding family. Du Tianxiong is quite tricky to deal with, let alone he is currently in the capital, and when he returns to Huahai, there will be no trace of him."
"Dou Tianxiong is still a man, not a god."
Yan Ruyu looked at the master: "I have one thing that I don't understand, if Zhang Xiaolin really wants to kill Zhao Heng, why doesn't he find a top-notch killer to deal with him? I heard that those killers are quite overbearing, but they're only second-rate at best. Zhang Xiaolin knows Zhao Heng's skills, so how could he be so careless?"
"This isn't being careless, but rather being meticulous."
Ye Shishish lifted that face with a bit of charm, and a faint smile crossed her face: "Zhang Xiaolin is getting old after all, his bravery is no longer like it used to be. He wants to seize this opportunity to kill Zhao Heng, but he's also afraid that the Du family will investigate him, so this killing is not seeking merit but seeking no fault."
"To be honest, he just wants to take advantage of the situation and have some fun."
