NOVEL NEXT Chapter 48 Conspiracy
Fang Feifei personally rushed over to cheer for Wang Ye, which even Tan Long and Chen Li found strange.
Although Wang Ye had won the championship in the treasure appraisal competition, his status within the Fang Family wouldn't be very high! Why then was he receiving such attention?
Moreover, the way Fang Feifei looked at Wang Ye was clearly off. If she wasn't pretending, then something must have happened between her and Wang Ye.
Soon, the third round of the competition began. Wang Ye took the stage and easily won the match, advancing to the top eight.
After this round ended, it was already twelve noon. Therefore, the final round would take place in the afternoon.
"Tired, Wang Ye? Come on, I'll take you to lunch," Fang Feifei said enthusiastically as she saw Wang Ye come down from the stage.
"Hmm, Sister, Mr. Tan, let's all go!" Wang Ye did not refuse.
However, Chen Li and Tan Long hesitated for a moment. Originally, they were the ones accompanying Wang Ye to the competition, but now, Fang Feifei had taken the lead.
But in the end, Chen Li and Tan Long did not refuse either.
On the other side, He Lei and Yang Junsheng's group also went to have lunch together.
Moreover, they went to a high-end restaurant nearby.
In the private room, He Lei's face was exceedingly grim.
"That Wang Ye, I want to take him out!"
After a long silence, He Lei suddenly blurted out.
Yang Junsheng and Zhou Tianhao exchanged glances, both startled for a moment.
But soon, both of their faces revealed smug expressions.
In their hearts, they had long wanted to take out Wang Ye. It was just that now they understood Wang Ye's strength and knew it was difficult to make a move.
However, if He Lei personally intervened, then it would be easy. The assassins nurtured by the He Family were, after all, the most formidable forces in Yun City.
"Young Master He, how do you plan to do it? This has to be done quietly!" Yang Junsheng whispered.
Now Wang Ye was the golden boy of the Fang Family, and Wang Ye's sister, Xia Qingxin, was Yun City's wealthiest woman. If it wasn't done cleanly and someone found out, there would definitely be big trouble.
"Exactly, Young Master He, ordinary assassins definitely couldn't handle Wang Ye. I've seen his capabilities; he's no simple target," Zhou Tianhao added.
He Lei narrowed his eyes, his gaze icy as he looked towards Yuan Hongming and the man in the Tang suit.
"This time, the two of you will make the move."
"What? Them?"
Upon hearing He Lei's words, the four people were stunned.
Yuan Hongming and the man in the Tang suit were not professional assassins; how could they possibly carry out a killing?
"That's right, isn't it the day of the medicinal herb conference today? Get rid of Wang Ye at the medicinal herb conference," said He Lei with a sinister look.
"Young Master He, how are we supposed to do it?" Yuan Hongming asked, puzzled.
He only knew how to save people, he definitely didn't know how to kill! Although most of the time, he couldn't save anyone either.
The man in the Tang suit beside him was very calm, seemingly deep in thought.
"That's right, Young Master He, what can they do? They surely can't make a move right at the Medical Conference, in front of everyone! There are so many people watching!" Yang Junsheng still couldn't figure out how they would do it.
However, the man in the Tang suit seemed to have thought of something.
So he slowly began to speak, "Young Master He, I understand now!"
"Old Lu, you really are clever. You can guess what's on my mind just like that," He Lei smiled contentedly.
The person he called Old Lu was the He Family's personal physician. He was highly skilled in medicine and also adept at using gu and poison.
This Medical Conference, He Lei had originally intended for Old Lu to deal with Wang Ye.
However, at first, He Lei had not intended to kill.
"Young Master He, Mr. Lu, what exactly are you talking about? Tell us!" Yang Junsheng was utterly confused.
Zhou Tianhao was like a little follower; he didn't understand either, so he stared wide-eyed at He Lei and Mr. Lu.
"Poison!" Old Lu explained.
"Yes, poison! Isn't today the Medical Conference? As the saying goes, all medicine has a touch of poison. During the final competition, we'll add a twist—live testing of the medicine," He Lei said with a sinister look.
"Live testing of the medicine? That's interesting, Young Master He, how exactly do we do it?" Yang Junsheng asked curiously.
"During the final, we'll add a challenging element. That is, both competitors will concoct the deadliest poison for each other, then each has to detoxify themselves. This way, the competition is very thrilling, and we can also take the opportunity to dispose of Wang Ye," He Lei explained.
After hearing this, Yang Junsheng took a deep breath. This plan was indeed very malicious.
However, there were also some problems.
It was Zhou Tianhao who first pointed out these issues, "Young Master He, it won't work! Something so dangerous, at such a high-profile conference, how can it possibly be done? By then, people could be dying!"
"Blockhead, isn't that easy to resolve? We just ensure safety, right? The poisons are mixed by medical experts, so we'll prepare the antidotes in a similar manner. We'll just tell everyone that as soon as someone surrenders, they can have the antidote right away. Then, won't everyone believe us?" He Lei smirked wickedly.
"Exactly! That's it! If we just say there was a mistake in preparing the antidote, and even if Wang Ye were to die, we could just claim it was an accident, right? In the end, at most we'll have to pay compensation, and we, aren't we wealthy enough for that?" Yang Junsheng's face also revealed a sinister smile.
The usually silent Yuan Hongming spoke up at this point, "Then this matter must surely be handled by Mr. Lu! It doesn't involve me, right?"
Yuan Hongming himself lacked real strength. With such a risky matter, he definitely did not dare to handle it himself.
"No, two rounds of competition, you handle the first. If Wang Ye isn't dead after the first round, make sure he is in the second," He Lei spoke bluntly.
"Ah? This... Young Master He, maybe…" Yuan Hongming was very reluctant.
"Don't you trust Young Master He's words? Young Master He will ensure your safety. With Mr. Lu here, even if you were poisoned, he can guarantee your safety," Yang Junsheng said sternly, looking at Yuan Hongming.
Mr. Lu nodded, patted Yuan Hongming on the shoulder, "That's right, don't worry! And in my opinion, there's no need to eliminate Wang Ye in the first round. We need to ensure Wang Ye's safety! That way, in the second round, it will seem more reasonable. Because everyone who saw the first round will think that this type of competition won't have accidents or dangers."
"Right, then it's settled! Mr. Lu, if you pull this off, I will definitely give you a substantial reward!" He Lei was very generous.
"Right, my Yang Family will also provide a bonus," Yang Junsheng added.
