779: Chapter 779: Robbing dicine!
Hou Guangshou understood.
However, a look of struggle appeared on his face.
If it weren’t for this situation, given his personality, he would never have agreed to Zhou Yu’s terms.
But now, if he didn’t cooperate with Zhou Yu, he wouldn’t even have a way to survive, not to ntion anything else.
After struggling inwardly for a mont, Hou Guangshou looked up at Zhou Yu and said with difficulty,
“I agree.”
“Good.”
Zhou Yu smiled.
“Vice Minister Hou, there’s no need to be so troubled.
Who knows, you might find that working with isn’t such a bad thing after all.”
Hou Guangshou gave a bitter smile.
“Of course, of course…”
Zhou Yu noticed that Hou Guangshou didn’t seem to believe him, but he didn’t bother to explain further.
“Vice Minister Hou, you should continue to stay hidden for now.
We’ll keep in touch, and I’ll notify you when the ti is right!”
“Alright.”
Hou Guangshou nodded his agreent.
Zhou Yu didn’t linger long; he got up and left.
On his way back, Zhou Yu was already considering what Xiang Yinglong’s next move would be.
Xiang Yinglong had ordered his n to kill Hou Guangshou and bla him for it.
The groundwork for this plot had already been laid, and if nothing unexpected happened, Xiang Yinglong’s next move should be coming soon.
He just didn’t know what thod Xiang Yinglong would use to deal with him.
Pondering all the way, it was past 10 p.m.
by the ti he returned to the hotel.
Just as Zhou Yu was about to head to his room, his phone rang.
It was Ye ngyun.
“The dicine ingredients you wanted have arrived, co to my room.”
Ye ngyun spoke with an odd tone, and after saying that, she hung up the phone directly.
Zhou Yu didn’t notice anything amiss; he just marveled once again at the strength of the Ye Family.
So many Spiritual dicine ingredients had been collected in only a day and a half and sent over.
He couldn’t begin to imagine how much influence had been exerted.
With this sense of wonder, he arrived at Ye ngyun’s room and knocked on her door.
Ye ngyun personally opened the door.
However, her expression was sowhat strange upon opening it.
“Co in.”
After saying that, Ye ngyun turned and walked back inside.
It was then that Zhou Yu realized sothing wasn’t quite right with Ye ngyun’s mood.
Once inside the room, Ye ngyun stood by the window with her arms crossed, her back to him.
She just spoke indifferently,
“There’s been a problem with the dicine ingredients you wanted.”
“A problem?” Zhou Yu was startled and imdiately moved to Ye ngyun’s side.
“What happened?”
With a dark expression, Ye ngyun said,
“So of the key ingredients have been hijacked.”
Zhou Yu’s face was a picture of shock,
“Hijacked?”
“Who would dare do such a thing?”
“To rob from the Ye Family?”
Ye ngyun didn’t explain but just turned her head to look at Zhou Yu.
“However, most of the other ingredients have already been delivered.
Take a look.”
Ye ngyun pointed to the table beside her.
Zhou Yu approached the table and conducted a thorough examination.
Indeed, there were a few key ingredients missing, but the ones present were enough for Bai Qishan’s injuries to largely recover.
The key ingredients were mainly for restoring his martial skills, so those could be postponed a bit.
Zhou Yu turned to Ye ngyun.
“Miss Ye, whoever dared to rob the Ye Family must be no ordinary person.”
“What do you plan to do?”
Ye ngyun replied with a grave voice,
“I’ve already sent people to investigate.
Once there are results, I’ll take care of it personally.”
“I’ll go with you.”
Zhou Yu imdiately offered.
Ye ngyun didn’t reject the offer, but she didn’t accept it either, simply saying,
“Let’s wait and see.”
“You take these ingredients first.”
Zhou Yu considered for a mont.
“Alright then, I’ll go treat Elder Bai.”
“Notify when you have news here.”
“Mm,” Ye ngyun nodded.
Zhou Yu left at once with the dicine ingredients.
Not long after Zhou Yu left, Ye ngyun’s phone suddenly rang.
Ye ngyun answered the call.
A hoarse voice ca through from the other end.
“Miss, we have news.
The person who stole the dicine ingredients is from the Xu Family!”
“The Xu Family?” Ye ngyun’s expression instantly turned extrely bleak, with a trace of apprehension even visible in her eyes.
The Xu Family in Capital City was another powerful force on par with their own Ye Family.
Moreover, in the territory of Capital City, the Xu Family was even slightly more dominant than theirs.
“Yes, it was done by Xu Pingchang.”
“Sohow, he got wind that the batch of dicine was intended for Bai Qishan, so he took action.”
Upon hearing this, Ye ngyun imdiately realized that she had been too careless.
The Xu Family in Capital City had long-standing enmity with the Bai Family in Shanghai.
With Xu Pingchang aware of the matter, he would definitely attempt to interfere; she should have been vigilant about this.
“I understand.
I’ll handle this matter.”
Ye ngyun said sternly, and then she was about to hang up.
“Wait a mont, Miss, the old master asked to pass on a ssage.”
Ye ngyun paused, “What is it?”
“The old master said that currently, the Ye Family should avoid conflict with the Xu Family.”
“Furthermore, since Bai Qishan is from Shanghai, it’s not suitable for the Ye Family in Capital City to show a clear bias in matters there.
The Ye Family in Capital City must maintain a neutral stance to keep its deterrence and influence.
Once they show favoritism towards one force, it might prompt other forces to unite against them, potentially pulling them into a troubleso whirlpool.”
After hearing these words, Ye ngyun bit her lip tightly.
“I understand.”
After hanging up the call, Ye ngyun stood by the window for a long ti, until night had completely fallen.
Then, she picked up her phone again and dialed Zhou Yu’s number.
