866: Chapter 0866: Friends of the Yan Family 866: Chapter 0866: Friends of the Yan Family Yan Qingdi was completely dumbfounded, at a loss for what to say.
Although Dongfang Shu was a woman, a widow, she nevertheless was a legendary figure in the Central Sea.
Her rise to power, as well as becoming the underground queen of the entire Central Sea, was nothing short of legendary.
If anyone thought Dongfang Shu was a woman who relied on n to eat and survive, they would surely die a miserable death!
Moreover, according to what Yan Qingdi knew, behind Dongfang Shu there seed to be a very influential figure.
She was a woman not to be trifled with, otherwise, Lin Zhennan had considered eliminating one or another person close to Ye Xunhuan before, but he never considered making a move against Dongfang Shu.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to, it’s just that this woman truly wasn’t that easy to deal with; ssing with her was like stirring a hornet’s nest.
“Miss Dongfang, you really have a way with words!” Once Yan Qingdi regained his composure, he imdiately said: “You are the Hua Mulan, the Mu Guiying of our ti, how could you possibly need n to survive?”
Seeing Yan Qingdi say this, Dongfang Shu’s half-closed eyes slowly opened!
“However, as the saying goes, open spears are easy to dodge but hidden arrows are difficult to guard against.
If Lin Changfeng places obstacles in your way in secret, that would be troubleso…”
“What does Young Master Yan an…”
“Miss Dongfang, I wonder how your relationship with Young Master Ye is?” Yan Qingdi’s expression gradually turned solemn.
“Can’t say it’s good, but also can’t say it’s bad!”
“And with Xiao Jiu?”
“It’s okay!”
“Would Miss Dongfang be interested in seeing Lin Changfeng die right here?” Yan Qingdi went straight to the point.
Hearing Yan Qingdi’s words, Dongfang Shu’s face changed slightly: “Young Master Yan, are you planning to eliminate him?”
“If there’s an opportunity!”
“Eliminating him doesn’t seem to benefit you much, does it?” Dongfang Shu said with a puzzled face as she looked at Yan Qingdi: “It might even bring you risks!”
“I am of course aware of this, it’s like doing business, risks and gains are all part of the norm!”
“But why do you want to eliminate him?”
“Miss Dongfang, don’t I need to explain the big fish eat little fish scenario to you?”
Dongfang Shu nodded: “But I still don’t understand what Young Master Yan ans…”
“Do you know how many families there are in the capital city?”
Dongfang Shu shook her head blankly.
The capital city, right below the Son of Heaven’s feet, the imperial capital, how could she, Dongfang Shu, who had never been mixed up in the imperial capital, know how many families were there?
But there must be many.
“There are many families in the capital city, but not many are prominent enough to hold sway.” Yan Qingdi said softly: “And the Lin family is one of them!”
“Right now, Lin Zhennan is like a dog that has lost its ho, fleeing everywhere.
If he dies, the Lin family will then be taken over by Lin Changfeng.”
“If Lin Changfeng dies and Lin Zhennan passes away too, Miss Dongfang, what do you think will beco of the Lin family?”
Dongfang Shu’s heart skipped a beat, and the look she gave Yan Qingdi slowly turned fearful.
“You… you an to plunge the Lin family into chaos and take the chance to swallow them up?”
At this mont, Dongfang Shu finally understood Yan Qingdi’s intentions.
This fellow’s true intentions were not in the drink at all!
“It’s not just , it’s many people!” Yan Qingdi said softly, “Without Lin Zhennan, the Lin family, even with Lin Changfeng, is completely like a toothless old tiger!”
“And if Lin Changfeng were to die, then this tiger would not only be toothless, but also terminally ill.
By then, even if the Lin family still exists, they would be nothing more than a third-rate small clan, and all their assets would naturally be devoured by us!”
“You still want to use Xiaojiu, don’t you?”
“Miss Dongfang is indeed clever!” Yan Qingdi exclaid, “You and I have both heard what Xiaojiu said to Lin Changfeng before.
If Lin Changfeng dies, surely no one would suspect us…”
No great man ever succeeds without first walking through the path of untold trials!
These five words now perfectly fit Yan Qingdi.
He may be in Jiangzhong Market now, but he covets the Lin family in the capital, even plotting to devour the Lin family and erase its existence.
Even if he fails to devour them, he has nothing to lose, and this bla would need to be carried by Xiaojiu!
“Young Master Yan, aren’t you afraid that I will betray you?”
“Afraid!” Yan Qingdi admitted frankly, “But I have to take a gamble and try!”
“Young Master Yan, although your plan is good, Lin Zhennan is still alive!”
“It doesn’t matter!” Yan Qingdi said carelessly, “The Qin family is still there, especially that woman Qin Rung!”
Dongfang Shu didn’t imdiately respond, but once again fell deep into thought.
Yan Qingdi’s plot was not bad; whether it succeeded or not, he would not be implicated, and all along it would only seem to others that it was the Qin family’s revenge or Xiaojiu’s doing!
If it succeeded, then Yan Qingdi, or rather the Yan family, would gain imnse benefits.
The Lin family is a prominent clan in the capital and, although not quite on the sa level as the Qin family, they are not to be taken lightly, especially with Lin Zhennan still alive.
If such a clan were destroyed, what would those who once sheltered under the Lin family do?
The answer is beyond doubt!
Those people would definitely seek a new patron, a new master.
The Yan family is a prominent clan, capable of rivaling the Qin family, and it will inevitably beco a place many would want to seek refuge with!
In this way, the Yan family would grow stronger still.
“Miss Dongfang, rest assured, if this endeavor succeeds, I will not let you down!” Yan Qingdi promised Dongfang Shu, “I will give Miss Dongfang enough benefits!”
“Young Master Yan, such matters could actually be handled by you alone; why involve ?” Dongfang Shu stared intently at Yan Qingdi, “Could it be that Young Master Yan is afraid things will get out of hand, leading to an uncontrollable situation, and is pulling in to take the fall in your stead?”
Yan Qingdi’s expression shifted subtly.
In his heart, he indeed had such thoughts.
Yan Qingdi was different from others; he never burns his bridges when taking actions.
Others may leave one way out for themselves, but he would leave two, to ensure no possibility of failure.
Although he could use Xiaojiu and has the Qin family as a cover, Yan Qingdi was still worried that things might get out of control, and so he pulled in Dongfang Shu!
What Yan Qingdi didn’t anticipate was that this woman was so astute that she instantly grasped the crux of the matter.
The next mont, Yan Qingdi regained his composure, smiling as he said, “How can that be?
I just think Miss Dongfang, as a businesswoman, a qualified middleman, would not refuse a beneficial proposition!”
“Moreover, if we collaborate this ti, Miss Dongfang would also be considered a friend of the Yan family.
I think Miss Dongfang wouldn’t refuse to beco a friend of the Yan family, right?”
