<h4>Chapter 758: 754</h4>
Hearing Lin Yafei’s words, Sima Lingyun involuntarily furrowed his brows and said in a deep voice, "Miss Lin, what do you mean by that?"
"Group Leader Sima, as the saying goes, ’Honest people don’t speak in riddles.’ Although I haven’t had many dealings with you, I am aware of your character. You are upright and just, and thus you do not wish to see the Yanhuang Group gradually degenerate. You want to rebuild the Yanhuang Group into the organization it once was, serving the country and the people. But if you want the Yanhuang Group to experience a rebirth and achieve your goals, the disciples ced in the Yanhuang Group by those aristocratic families will be your biggest stumbling block. You need to remove or drive them out."
Lin Yafei’s gaze shimmered as she looked at Sima Lingyun, her tone filled with strong confidence: "My target is the Wang Family. If the Wang Family truly has ties with the Heavenly God, you can follow the trail to find Heavenly God’s whereabouts and eliminate this unstable factor. In the process, annihte the Wang Family as a warning to others, and I will have my revenge. It sounds like a win-win situation for both of us."
"If the Wang Family has no connections with the Heavenly God, there’s still no downside for us. I get my revenge and ease my mind, while you can take this opportunity to eliminate the power of the aristocratic families and weaken them. As for a pretext to act, I believe that shouldn’t be an issue for the Group Leader Sima. After all, unfounded charges are easy to press. So, regardless of whether the Wang Family has the support of the Heavenly God, the oue is beneficial for both of us. This cooperation is a win-win scenario, wouldn’t you agree, Group Leader Sima?"
"Miss Lin, you’re too confident. Are you so sure that I will cooperate with you?"
"Of course," Lin Yafei said with certainty.
"Why?" Sima Lingyun was very curious where Lin Yafei got her confidence from to believe he would cooperate with her.
"Because I am Judge’s woman, Group Leader Sima. Is this reason enough?" Lin Yafei said with a smile on her face.
"Miss Lin, you’ve won."
Hearing Lin Yafei’s words, Sima Lingyun smiled bitterly. Indeed, none of the Judge’s women were to be trifled with. Lin Yafei had grasped his lifeline; indeed, he dared not let anything happen to her. If something were to happen to Lin Yafei, it would mean that Lu Tianxing, this Killing God, woulde to Beijing. By then, even if he and the Yanhuang Group’s masters managed to capture or kill Lu Tianxing, the entire Netherworld Mercenary Corps would likelyunch an all-out attack. Should that timee, even if the Yanhuang Group managed to hold off the Netherworld Mercenary Corps, the cost would be more than he could bear.
Arrogant troops will be defeated, while despairing troops will win. When a group of madmene together, there’s nothing they can’t do. Mand, Tie Niu, Fu Tu, and Little Bee, none of these people are easy to provoke.
Hearing Sima Lingyun’s words, a beautiful smile emerged on Lin Yafei’s face. She picked up a teacup and said to Sima Lingyun, "Group Leader Sima, here’s to a pleasant cooperation. I drink this tea in ce of wine to you."
"To a pleasant cooperation."
The two teacups gently collided.
After taking a light sip of tea, Sima Lingyun’s eyes glittering, said to Lin Yafei, "Miss Lin, I have onest question: How did you know that the Heavenly God might be in Beijing?"
"Group Leader Sima, tell me, in ancient times, if a person was ambitious, what would he most want to do?"
"Be the Emperor."
"Indeed, being an Emperor in today’s world, where emperors no longer exist, the underworld and martial artists wield power. If the Heavenly God is truly an ambitious individual, he would certainlye under the shade of the Imperial City to disy his ambition. He can’t be the Emperor, but he can be the king of the underground forces and be a god among warriors. Since Beijing is a gathering ce for dragons and tigers, if he has ambition, he will definitelye here; only by conquering this ce would he be qualified and entitled to conquer other ces, holding all the warriors in his grip and bing a true god."
Listening to Lin Yafei’s words, Sima Lingyun trembled and, for the first time, seriously regarded Lin Yafei, who was much smarter than he had imagined.
"Miss Lin, you are very smart."
Sima Lingyun eximed and said, "I wonder what your next ns are, Miss Lin."
"Of course, it is to wait for the hare toe. As you see, I nowck any form of power by my side. I don’t wish to sh head-on with the Wang Family at this moment."
"As you wish, but I will make it clear to you, Miss Lin, that the Yanhuang Group will not lend a hand unless you face a life or death crisis. Otherwise, the Yanhuang Group will not intervene," said Sima Lingyun solemnly, fearing most that Lin Yafei would recklessly intrude into the Wang Family.
"Group Leader Sima, you need not remind me. I am not foolish. Besides, the Wang Family dares not touch me, so why should I bother seeking trouble with them? The prey will always have a moment of impatience. I will make them show their fangs voluntarily. If there is nothing else, Group Leader Sima, I will take my leave now. Also, Group Leader Sima, please take care of the bill for the tea; you’re not short on money after all," she said.
Having said that, Lin Yafei stood up, swayed her hips like a water snake, and, apanied by the Four Ghosts of Xiangxi, headed out.
Sima Lingyun did not look back at Lin Yafei but slowly savored his tea, pondering the real reason Lin Yafei sought his cooperation. As for drawing out the Heavenly God, that was merely half the reason. The other half, he couldn’t guess at the moment, but he knew that Lin Yafei hadn’te to Beijing merely for revenge.
Time passed fleetingly, the years flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was the next day.
No. 66 Zi Yuan Vi.
The sky was just beginning to lighten, and the kitchen was already bustling with the ttering sounds, echoing throughout the room. Lu Tianxing, with an apron around his waist and a kitchen knife in his hand, was as fast as lightning, slicing the ribs that instantly separated and steadied into the pot, the faint scent of porridge permeating the room.
Mand and Bai Weiwei, yawning, sat on the couch, each with a big dark circle under her eyes. They listened to the sounds from the kitchen and each wore a wry smile. It was fatal, too pitiful; they did not know what had gotten into Lu Tianxing this morning. At the crack of dawn, he had dragged them both to the food market, insisting they apany him to pick out some ribs, iming that women were adept at selecting items. Regardless of their agreement, he had dragged them out forcefully.
"Manman, do you think my brother-inw has gone mad? It’s the crack of dawn, and instead of sleeping, he gets up to make breakfast. Manman, do you think there’s something wrong with his brain?" Bai Weiwei nced towards the kitchen and whispered.
"Who knows! But, one thing I know—his intelligence has hit zero now," Mand, yawning deeply, spoke with certainty.
That’s all for the updated, please support, asking for brothers’ fire support!
