Driving away from Sunshine Garden, Ye Xiao immediately called Zhao Dapeng!
"Brother Xiao!" Zhao Dapeng picked up Ye Xiao's call and instantly became excited, respectfully saying!
Ye Xiao said, "Where are you now? I'll come to you!"
Zhao Dapeng answered, "Wang Qing, Zhang Biao, and I are all at Wang Qing's place."
"Alright then, wait for me at Wang Qing's place, I'll be there soon!" With that, Ye Xiao hung up the phone and drove away from Sunshine Garden at high speed!
It was around one in the afternoon, and the streets were not very busy with traffic, so Ye Xiao quickly arrived near Minghai Academy. Since it was Saturday, there were no students at Minghai Academy. Ye Xiao had been to Wang Qing's place before, so he easily found his way there!
Ye Xiao got out of the car, walked up to the door of Wang Qing's place, and knocked. The first sound to come from inside was of the Tibetan mastiff that Wang Qing kept!
"Coming, coming!" Zhang Biao's voice came from inside!
The door swung open, and Zhang Biao poked his head out. Seeing it was Ye Xiao, he immediately grinned and said, "Brother Xiao, you're here, come on in!"
Ye Xiao nodded and walked straight into the courtyard!
Upon hearing Zhang Biao call out 'Brother Xiao,' Zhao Dapeng and Wang Qing quickly hurried to the door to greet Ye Xiao as he entered.
Going into the main room, this visit was different from the last one. Last time, Wang Qing was defiant and Ye Xiao had laid a hand on him. Now, Wang Qing and the rest were exceedingly respectful to Ye Xiao, especially after witnessing how Ye Xiao had killed Zhang Linju in the blink of an eye. Wang Qing and Zhang Biao were utterly convinced!
"Brother Xiao, I'm really sorry." As soon as Ye Xiao sat down in the main room, Zhang Biao immediately bowed his head like a child that had done wrong. After all, in Zhang Biao's view, this trouble started because his underling had betrayed them in the fight, leading to several brothers now lying in the hospital!
Ye Xiao glanced at Zhang Biao, then looked at Zhao Dapeng and Wang Qing, before saying, "Sit down, everyone. Now that the trouble has happened, we need to think of a solution!"
The three of them quickly took their seats upon hearing Ye Xiao's words and then turned their attention to him.
"Brother Xiao, what should we do now?" Zhao Dapeng said with some concern, "We're all worried that if Liang Ting comes back, our brothers might truly not be able to hold up!"
Ye Xiao spoke, "The reason Liang Ting was able to successfully mount a sneak attack last night was thanks to two factors; first, Chen Wei acted as an inside man, giving him complete knowledge of your situation, and second, you were not united in heart, which was the primary reason for your downfall. Peng, you said several of your people were injured. Right now, even if there were no sneak attacks, just a straightforward fight, you might not be able to beat them. Given this, let's just give Blue-tailed Fox Bar to them!"
"Ah?" Hearing Ye Xiao's words, everyone looked puzzled. Wang Qing said, "Brother Xiao, our brothers are already demoralized. If we give up Blue-tailed Fox Bar, that's pretty much the same as disbanding. We've taken over from Zhang Linju, so what good is it now?"
Although he didn't understand Ye Xiao's words, he knew one thing: he must obey Ye Xiao's orders. So, Zhao Dapeng looked at Wang Qing and said, "Brother Wang, let's listen to Brother Xiao's plan before making a decision!"
Hearing Zhao Dapeng's words, Wang Qing, who was just about to say something, immediately fell silent and just looked at Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao gave a faint smile and said, "If you just tell Liang Ting that you want to give Blue-tailed Fox Bar to him, he might hesitate, so Zhang Biao, you'll have to go and surrender!"
"Me, go and surrender?" Zhang Biao hesitated upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, saying, "Brother Xiao, I am a subordinate of you and Brother Peng, how can I surrender? That must not happen!"
"If you truly are loyal to Zhao Dapeng, then this is what you must do. However, I have to tell you, that if you surrender, you're risking the possibility that Liang Ting might see through you. If he realizes your surrender isn't sincere, you know how severe the consequences could be, right?"
"Brother Xiao, I'm not afraid of those risks, it's just that surrendering... Zhang Biao could never do such a thing!" Zhang Biao said with a frown.
Zhao Dapeng, having already seen through Ye Xiao's intentions, walked up to Zhang Biao and said with a smile, "Zhang Biao, you're overthinking it. How could Brother Xiao actually let you surrender to Liang Ting? Brother Xiao wants you to fake surrender, to actually lure the enemy. As long as we can entice Liang Ting to come to the Blue-tailed Fox Bar, Brother Xiao will certainly have a way to subdue him!"
Upon hearing Zhao Dapeng's words, Zhang Biao immediately turned to Ye Xiao and asked, "Brother Xiao, is that true?"
Ye Xiao explained, "I could go directly to Liang Ting and kill him, but then everyone would think it was the work of Liang Ting's enemies or a hitman off the streets, not connected to you guys in any way."
Wang Qing, puzzled by Ye Xiao's words, quickly said, "Brother Xiao, wouldn't that be the best? Killing Liang Ting without anyone knowing, Liang Ting's men wouldn't come for revenge, and we would be absolutely safe."
Ye Xiao frowned and glanced at Wang Qing, remarking, "If you want a quiet life, why enter this quagmire at all?"
Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Wang Qing was startled for a moment. Having been in the business world for some time, he understood the implication of Ye Xiao's words!
"Brother Xiao, are you saying we should seize this opportunity to take over from Liang Ting and establish our authority in doing so?" Wang Qing looked surprised.
Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "It seems you're not foolish. To waste such a golden opportunity would be a pity, wouldn't it? Now, does anyone still have questions?"
"No!" Zhao Dapeng, Wang Qing, and Zhang Biao now had no doubts. Originally, they had been contemplating how to defend, how to withstand a possible second attack from Liang Ting. Now, guided by Ye Xiao, they switched from defense to offense, except it wasn't an overt offense but a cunning stratagem!
Although this wasn't exactly honorable, Ye Xiao had also said that history is written by the victors. As long as you win, what's wrong with using some despicable methods? To the victor belong the spoils; this is an eternal truth after all!
After leaving Wang Qing's place, Ye Xiao wandered around near Minghai Academy and eventually went directly to the staff residential building of Minghai Academy. Before he knew it, he had arrived at Su Yun's doorstep!
Today was Saturday, and Ye Xiao was unsure if Su Yun was at home but since he had come this far, he wanted to check and knocked on the door. However, there was no response from inside.
Could she be out and about on a Saturday? That was what Ye Xiao thought, so he turned and left.
Having not found Su Yun, Ye Xiao then thought of Lin Dieying. Had he not known that Lin Dieying's father was Lin Yaoguang, perhaps Ye Xiao would have regarded her simply as a normal female friend. However, now that he knew Lin Dieying's family background was so pitiable, Ye Xiao decided to go to the hospital.
He drove to the hospital.
In the ward, only Lin Dieying and Li Yinge were there.
"Diey, don't think too much," said Li Yinge helplessly to her obedient daughter in front of her.
Lin Dieying also yearned for a peaceful life. She wasn't someone who insisted on living lavishly. However, she had witnessed her father being driven to death by a man named Huang Zongyuan. If it hadn't been for her uncle's help, probably she and her mother wouldn't have survived either!
A grudge for the murder of one's father cannot be shared under the heavens; how could Lin Dieying possibly forget such enmity!
"No... Mom, I can't forget. I will never forget that person's face. I, Lin Dieying, must avenge my father. As long as I have the ability, I will make that person pay with his life!" Lin Dieying's voice was soft but trembled, and tears streamed down from the corners of her eyes.
That said, when could she possibly have the power to take revenge? Perhaps even Lin Dieying herself didn't know.
"Diey, don't pressure yourself," said Li Yinge, her own eyes moist.
Back when Lin Yaoguang was in all his glory, how could she and her daughter have...
Li Yinge wanted to say more but then noticed someone entering the doorway of the ward. It was someone she had seen before; he had come over last night.
"Auntie, are you better?" Ye Xiao had heard everything Lin Dieying said very clearly.
Li Yinge had been introduced to Ye Xiao by Lin Dieying. Seeing Ye Xiao, she smiled slightly and said, "I'm alright now, you're troubling yourself too much for me!"
Ye Xiao immediately replied with a smile, "Auntie, as long as you're alright, that's what matters. We younger ones running around is nothing!"
When Lin Dieying saw Ye Xiao arrive, she quickly stood up and hurriedly wiped her tears.
Lin Dieying looked at Ye Xiao and said, "I'm fine by myself here; you don't need to come every day."
Ye Xiao replied, "You forgot, today is Saturday. Anyway, I don't have anything else to do. Oh, and I have something I'd like to ask you, if it's not too inconvenient?"
Although Lin Dieying didn't know what Ye Xiao wanted to ask, she knew that some things were better kept from her mother. So, she said to Li Yinge, "Mom, we're going to talk about some things outside."
"Okay, I'm actually feeling pretty tired myself, time for a rest!" Li Yinge said.
Ye Xiao and Lin Dieying stepped out of the ward, and looking puzzled, Lin Dieying asked, "What's happened?"
"Nothing much," Ye Xiao extended his hand to wipe away the tear tracks from Lin Dieying's face.
Lin Dieying was momentarily stunned, her cheeks blushing slightly.
Ye Xiao asked, "Your father is Lin Yaoguang, right?"
Hearing this, Lin Dieying looked at Ye Xiao in shock and asked, "How... how did you know that?"
Ye Xiao said, "How I know isn't important. I know your father was pressured by Huang Zongyuan three years ago, and I know you really want revenge. As it happens, I also have some issues with Huang Zongyuan. So, I'm telling you that I will casually help you take revenge and get back as much of your father's assets as possible."
Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Lin Dieying became visibly excited and looked at Ye Xiao, saying, "Ye Xiao, is that true? Thank you, Ye Xiao, thank you so much!"
Lin Dieying's words were heartfelt. If Ye Xiao could truly help her seek vengeance, she would be willing to pay any price, even with her own body.
