Martial Arts Master in the City

Chapter 405: The Mastermind Behind the Assassin


"You... you really didn't do anything?" Ling Shuya didn't know why, but at this moment, even though she really wanted to use her little miss temper to cover up her shyness, her words just wouldn't come out loud!

Zhao Dapeng's eyes looked at Ling Shuya's blushing pretty face, he nodded slightly, and said, "Of course not, I am afraid that if I did something with someone else, what if I'm out of energy by the time I get to Yaya's side, what then? Wouldn't that make my Yaya a widow in waiting? Absolutely not!"

Zhao Dapeng spoke very seriously, but this only made Ling Shuya feel even more shy, her little face turning even redder!

"Get lost, hmph, there are plenty of men more handsome than you in the world, I can seriously choose!" Ling Shuya stubbornly said!

Zhao Dapeng immediately smiled at Ling Shuya and said, "Is that so? But why do I feel your heartbeat quicken because you're lying?"

"I... I'm not..." Right now, Ling Shuya really wanted to find a hole to crawl into, because in front of Zhao Dapeng, she felt utterly transparent, as if Zhao Dapeng could see right through her.

Zhao Dapeng gently reached out his hand and lifted Ling Shuya's chin with his finger, smiling on his face, eyes gazing directly into Ling Shuya's beautiful eyes.

At this moment, Ling Shuya unexpectedly cooperated by closing her eyes, and Zhao Dapeng's heart was also thumping wildly. Such a good opportunity, how could he let it go? So, Zhao Dapeng was about to lean in for a kiss!

But...

"Come on, can't you two find a place where there are no people?" A crisp voice came from afar!

Zhao Dapeng was unfazed, but Ling Shuya was startled by the voice, and quickly pushed Zhao Dapeng away, her face blushing.

At this moment, Zhou Yuyan walked over with a hehe smile on her face, her face carrying a teasing look, seemingly proud of herself for messing up Zhao Dapeng and Ling Shuya's moment!

"Come on, let's join together!" Zhao Dapeng this guy really had no shame to the extreme. If anyone could interpret the word 'shameless' vividly, then it must be Zhao Dapeng!

Zhou Yuyan immediately rolled her eyes at Zhao Dapeng and said, "Stinky Zhao Dapeng, do you think I'm like Shuya? Letting you take advantage of me that easily?"

Hearing Zhou Yuyan's words, Ling Shuya immediately hurriedly looked towards Zhou Yuyan and said, "Yuyan, what are you talking about? When have I ever let him take advantage so casually? Clearly just now Zhao Dapeng was just blowing air into my eyes, I... I had sand in my eyes!"

"Blowing air into your eyes?" Zhou Yuyan said, "Alright, I believe it was blowing air into your eyes, but Zhao Dapeng's skills at it are indeed quite unique. You were almost mouth-to-mouth, amazing!"

Ling Shuya's little face turned even redder!

Zhao Dapeng immediately smiled proudly, as if Zhou Yuyan's words were a compliment towards him, and said with a proud look: "That's my knock-out move. Whenever you get sand in your eyes, I will definitely help you like this!"

"Cut it out, I don't need your help!" Zhou Yuyan looked at Zhao Dapeng, she was much craftier than Ling Shuya, so she knew if they continued this topic, she might also end up getting taken advantage of by Zhao Dapeng, so she immediately changed the subject and said: "How did it feel to be alone with Miss Han at the hospital last night? You look full of energy, it seems like you had a good time last night!"

"Is that so? Mainly because I'm young and strong, oh yeah, I almost forgot something, where is that check for two hundred million from the day before yesterday?" Zhao Dapeng, upon hearing Zhou Yuyan mention Han Xuewei, immediately remembered that he still had the matter of raising money upon his return.

Hearing Zhao Dapeng's words, Ling Shuya immediately said in surprise, "Oh my, I almost forgot, it seems to be in my pencil case!"

At this time, Zhou Yuyan suddenly said, "If I remember correctly, when I just came out of the classroom, I seem to have seen your pencil case thrown on the table, and it was half-opened!"

"Ah?" Hearing Zhou Yuyan's words, Ling Shuya immediately showed a surprised face. For Ling Shuya, two hundred million wasn't an earth-shattering amount, but it wasn't a small amount either; previously she just put it aside casually. Yesterday, she and Zhao Dapeng both forgot to transfer the money, so it had always been in Ling Shuya's hands!

If Zhao Dapeng didn't mention it today, probably everyone would have forgotten about the two hundred million!

"Wait a minute!" Zhou Yuyan suddenly looked suspiciously at Zhao Dapeng!

"What's wrong?" Zhao Dapeng asked.

Zhou Yuyan said, "Why do you suddenly want the money? I don't believe you just want to save it."

Zhao Dapeng didn't intend to hide it, after all, Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan were the people he currently trusted the most, and besides, two hundred million Yan Country Coins was perhaps a huge sum to others, but to Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan, it could only be considered a large amount.

"Didn't Han Jianjun die? Jianjun Real Estate is now facing the danger of splitting. Han Xuewei's stepmother got most of the shares. If I don't buy up that part of the shares, it's very possible that Han Xuewei's stepmother might kick Han Xuewei out in the future!" Zhao Dapeng said, "Moreover, keeping the money like this won't appreciate in value, so it's better to invest it. I don't have a pension, and maybe sitting and waiting for dividends every year could be my retirement money!"

Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan looked at each other, upon hearing it was for Han Xuewei's sake, both seemed at a loss.

"Then who will own that part of the shares?" Zhou Yuyan asked.

Upon hearing Zhou Yuyan's question, Zhao Dapeng immediately said with confusion, "Of course mine, after all, it's my investment!"

"Aren't you planning to give it to someone?" Zhou Yuyan asked again.

"Gift?" Ye Xiao said, "Gift to whom? Do you want it? Sure!"

Zhou Yuyan immediately shook her head vigorously and said, "I definitely don't want it, I'm talking about Han Xuewei!"

"Absolutely not, and besides, Han Xuewei wouldn't want it either!"

"It seems like it was still gifted, it's just that the other person didn't want it!" Zhou Yuyan deliberately said!

When Ye Xiao heard that Zhou Yuyan had guessed his previous thoughts, he immediately said to the two, "I'm going to get a check. Wait here for me. The stock transaction will be this afternoon, so I want to withdraw the money from inside first!"

Seeing Ye Xiao hurrying away, Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan exchanged a glance!

"I really have some doubts that there might be some relationship between Ye Xiao and Han Xuewei," Ling Shuya said to Zhou Yuyan after Ye Xiao had gone far!

Upon hearing Ling Shuya's words, Zhou Yuyan couldn't help but laugh softly!

When Ling Shuya saw Zhou Yuyan suddenly laughing, and laughing somewhat eerily at that, she immediately asked in confusion, "What's so funny?"

Zhou Yuyan said with a smile, "It seems like Ye Xiao is becoming more and more important to you!"

"Not at all, stop making things up!" Ling Shuya immediately retorted hard, "I couldn't possibly have feelings for him!"

"Really not?" Zhou Yuyan asked!

Ling Shuya immediately said, "Definitely not!"

"Alright then, since you have no feelings for him, I'll just suffer a bit. When Ye Xiao comes back, I'll talk to him and say that from now on, we are boyfriend and girlfriend; I wonder if he would be willing!" Zhou Yuyan said!

When Ling Shuya heard Zhou Yuyan's words, she was clearly surprised and immediately filled with regret!

Zhou Yuyan was very smart, and since she was Ling Shuya's best friend, she was very familiar with her. Just by glancing at Ling Shuya, Zhou Yuyan knew what she was thinking at that very moment!

Ye Xiao was indeed quick. In a short time, he returned.

"Did you get it?" Zhou Yuyan asked immediately!

Ye Xiao said, "Got it, let's go withdraw the money, then come back to pick up Miss Shen and Sister Su to go have dinner together."

"You sure are thoughtful!" Ling Shuya said sourly from the side!

Hearing Ling Shuya's words, Ye Xiao was puzzled. What was going on with Ling Shuya?

However, he didn't think too much about it and immediately walked outside, but just as he reached the school gate, his phone suddenly rang!

Ye Xiao was curious who would be calling him at this moment. He took out his phone and saw it was Zhao Dapeng calling!

Seeing it was Zhao Dapeng, Ye Xiao smiled slightly. It must be that the three assassins had been interrogated. He really wanted to know who it was that sent a full three assassins to the hospital!

So, he immediately answered!

After the call connected, Zhao Dapeng immediately said respectfully, "Brother Xiao!"

"How did it go?" Ye Xiao asked!

Zhao Dapeng said, "We've found out. They said the mastermind behind the scenes is called Zhang Zilong!"

"What?" When Ye Xiao heard the name 'Zhang Zilong', he was amused because he had always thought the three assassins were after Han Xuewei. What he hadn't expected was that they were actually after him, meaning the scare Han Xuewei had last night was all because of him!

However, Ye Xiao was also puzzled, how would Zhang Zilong know his whereabouts? Suddenly, a lightbulb went off in his head and he understood why he had seen Zhang Zilong at the hospital parking lot that morning. This guy must have been hospitalized there, knew Ye Xiao was also at the hospital, and so, to seek revenge, he sent assassins to take his life!

"So it was that guy!" Ye Xiao laughed, then said, "Dispose of those three assassins as you see fit. Also, look into Zhang Zilong's family background for me, and find out what relationship he has with a person from the Third Academy called Zhang Zihao!"

Ye Xiao was no fool; there couldn't be that many coincidences. He strongly suspected that Zhang Zilong was related to Zhang Zihao, and that the Zhang family was probably not ordinary!

Ye Xiao was also troubled. What had he done to unwittingly offend a seemingly wealthy power? So now, he must quickly find out the background of this Zhang Zilong. Even if he were to deal with it, he had to know who he was dealing with!
