NOVEL NEXT Chapter 68 Mr. Lu's Master
"Enough, if we didn't find anything, then we didn't find anything! That Wang Ye, he's always been a cunning one. On the surface, he appears as a filthy Taoist, seemingly naive about the ways of the world. But in reality, his schemes run deep. Tonight, we have also failed," He Lei didn't blame Mr. Lu for his responsibility.
Although Mr. Lu had accomplished many great things for the He Family in the past, things had been very peaceful recently, which explained the decline in his strength.
And that kid Wang Ye is indeed tough to deal with.
"Failed? What happened, didn't Wang Ye agree to cooperate?" Mr. Lu asked, surprised.
According to their original plan, they intended to win over Wang Ye, then look for an opportunity to get rid of him secretly.
Logically, this should have been very simple. But unexpectedly, they failed.
"Yes, we failed! That Wang Ye is said to be very arrogant. In my opinion, we should have just taken him down directly," Zhou Tianhao jumped in.
Upon hearing this, He Lei's face turned instantly gloomy as he glared at Zhou Tianhao.
Yang Junsheng knew that He Lei was angry. Zhou Tianhao, this fool, was continuously testing He Lei's patience.
Before He Lei could explode, Yang Junsheng slapped Zhou Tianhao across the face.
"Smack!" The sound was extremely loud.
Zhou Tianhao was stunned by the slap, taking a long time to come to his senses.
"Cousin, what are you doing?" Zhou Tianhao, with a red face, looked at Yang Junsheng in confusion.
"Get out now! You're just asking for death!" Yang Junsheng cursed and kicked Zhou Tianhao out.
He had to do it, or else Zhou Tianhao would have been finished that night.
Given He Lei's temper, once he lost his cool, Zhou Tianhao would surely end up missing limbs.
After Zhou Tianhao left, Yang Junsheng approached He Lei and whispered, "Young Master He, don't stoop to his level, he's just a dumb pig."
"Don't let him appear before me again!" He Lei said coldly.
"Yes, Young Master He, rest assured," Yang Junsheng quickly promised.
At that moment, Mr. Lu asked, "Young Master, what's our next move?"
After thinking for a while, He Lei replied, "First, we target the Fang Family! Wang Ye relies on the Fang Family as his support, doesn't he? If the Fang Family abandons him, who else can he rely on?"
"Young Master He, what about Tan Long and Xia Qingxin? They will definitely support Wang Ye," Yang Junsheng pointed out.
"Tan Long? He's not worth mentioning. As for Xia Qingxin, I have a way to deal with her," He Lei said, his lips curving into a sinister smile.
"Good, my master will soon be returning from his travels! Then, we'll have a strong ally," Mr. Lu said with a proud tone.
Upon hearing this, He Lei's eyes immediately brightened.
"Is that true? Your master is finally coming back?" He Lei inquired.
Mr. Lu's master was a true master. If he returned, then Wang Ye would be nothing but meat on the chopping board.
"Of course it's true, I have already received news from my master!"
"Good, good! Go prepare right away for the master's return!"
...
Meanwhile, Wang Ye had already returned to the Peerless Medical Hall.
Even though he rushed as fast as he could, he was still late. Chen Li had already returned to the Peerless Medical Hall ahead of him.
Fortunately, the eldest senior sister, Xia Qingxin, didn't come back with her. It was just Chen Li alone, and Wang Ye found her easier to deal with. After all, Senior Sister Chen Li was a person who easily softened her heart.
As long as he pleaded with her, she would definitely spare him.
"Wang Ye, where have you been?"
Upon seeing Wang Ye return, Chen Li stepped forward and asked with a cold face.
Wang Ye, seeing Chen Li's serious expression, quickly replied with a silly smile, "Senior Sister, I didn't go anywhere! Just walked around nearby, I was a bit bored tonight!"
"Lying, you think I didn't see? You came back by taxi!" Chen Li directly exposed Wang Ye.
"This… Senior Sister, I really didn't go anywhere, it's just… Senior Sister, please forgive me this once! Don't tell the eldest senior sister about this." Wang Ye put on a pitiful face.
Chen Li gave Wang Ye a blank look and then her expression softened.
"You really are a handful! I'm telling you, this is the only time. If you dare to run off again in the future, I won't spare you!"
"Alright, Senior Sister, rest assured, I definitely won't run off next time!"
As Wang Ye expected, just by being a little clingy and persistent, Second Senior Sister Chen Li was sure to spare him.
However, while Wang Ye's face wore a relaxed smile, his heart was anxious.
Although He Lei hadn't posed any threat to Wang Ye, he was worried that, given He Lei's character, he might harm his senior sisters.
And right now, he was unable to protect his senior sisters by staying by their side all the time. Therefore, Wang Ye was clear that he needed to resolve the situation as soon as possible.
Forming an alliance with Fang Cunshan to deal with He Lei was not a bad choice for Wang Ye. After all, Fang Cunshan was bound to cooperate with him, so they would surely agree to his conditions.
While Wang Ye was thinking of Fang Cunshan, Tan Long had already gone to the Fang Family to find Fang Cunshan.
Tan Long knew that he needed to inform Fang Cunshan about Wang Ye's agreement to cooperate as soon as possible, and it had to be done face to face.
At that moment, in the study room of the Fang Family's villa, Tan Long met Fang Cunshan.
"How is it? Has Wang Ye agreed?" Fang Cunshan asked calmly.
In his heart, he was nearly certain. He knew that Wang Ye wouldn't refuse the cooperation.
Tan Long nodded and replied, "Yes, Wang Ye has agreed."
"Very good, then tell Wang Ye to come and see me in person tomorrow," Fang Cunshan said, a hint of a smile on his face.
"Alright! But Mr. Fang, Wang Ye's current situation isn't good," Tan Long said, frowning.
Fang Cunshan smiled faintly, "Is it He Lei?"
Fang Cunshan had been investigating Wang Ye's affairs all along. So he was well aware of He Lei's intention to target Wang Ye. It was for this reason that he was confident Wang Ye would agree to cooperate with him.
"So you knew all along, Mr. Fang! You must help Wang Ye. Given He Lei's nature, he will definitely play dirty with Wang Ye. Moreover, at the previous medicinal material conference, He Lei already tried to harm Wang Ye, he just didn't succeed," Tan Long said anxiously.
It was Fang Cunshan who could ensure Wang Ye's safety. As long as Wang Ye was of significant use to Fang Cunshan, he would protect him.
However, Fang Cunshan didn't nod in agreement but pondered for a while before slowly saying, "Do you think Wang Ye can't handle He Lei?"
"Eh? Mr. Fang, what do you mean! Wang Ye certainly can't handle it, He Lei is ruthless and unscrupulous, Wang Ye is naive about the ways of the world, he's no match for him!"
"You are wrong!"
