Yang Xin'Er: "Hu Balei, I heard from the brothers in the hall that your brother Hu Sanli took seventy or eighty guys out a while back. Is life too leisurely for him, looking for so excitent?"
Hu Balei shivered at Yang Xin'Er's inquiry and slowly explained, "Hall Master, Miss, it's my fault for poor supervision. That rascal Sanli sohow offended that guy, and the seventy or eighty brothers he took got all injured and are now in the hospital..."
With that, Hu Balei explained the situation again.
Yang Jinrong was incredulous upon hearing this: "What did you say? So many brothers in the hall got beaten into the hospital by one person?"
Hu Balei nodded: "That's right. I know this shouldn't have happened, but... it did. The guy's na is Li Chuan, a freshman at Jiangzhou Hospital of Chinese dicine. He can twist a pistol into a pretzel barehanded. With such strength... he must be one of those legendary Ancient Martial Artists..."
"Ancient Martial..." Yang Jinrong had an incredulous look on his face, "In Jiangzhou City, an Ancient Martial Artist has appeared!"
But Yang Xin'Er remained very calm, still expressionless as she sat there with a teacup in hand, slowly sipping: "Jiangzhou City isn't big nor small, and it's a historical and cultural city. It's not so strange to have one or two Ancient Martial Artists show up occasionally, as long as they don't cross us."
Yang Jinrong scowled: "He's already crossed us. In all these years, I, Yang Jinrong, have never suffered such a huge loss. If we let this kid go just like that, won't our Three-blade Hall beco a laughing stock of Jiangzhou? How are we supposed to mix in after that?"
Yang Xin'Er shook her head: "An Ancient Martial Artist is not soone we can afford to offend with our current strength. I suggest we block the news. Over ti, this matter will pass. Besides, it's a critical period now with the reconstruction of West City. If we cause any trouble at this mont and displease those above us, the duck at our lips might fly away."
With Yang Xin'Er's previous temperant, this matter wouldn't have ended like this. It would have been shocking if she hadn't caught and flayed the person.
But this ti, it was an Ancient Martial Artist they offended.
Though she was wild, she wasn't stupid.
Hu Balei: "Hall Master, Miss is right, the rain was downpouring at the ti, with no one on the streets. If we don't say anything, no one will know."
Yang Jinrong snorted, picked up the teacup in front of him, and drank it all, as if trying to quell the anger in his heart with this Thousand Mountain Jade Leaves tea.
It turns out this feud might really not be avenged.
"Right, Xin'Er." Yang Jinrong suddenly said, "Why did you give the first brew of tea to the Ni Family?"
Yang Xin'Er: "That first brew isn't necessarily the most fragrant or best tea. I just don't want to put the power of choice in his hands."
"Since they ca to us for cooperation, it shows they need our Three-blade Hall. So which brew of tea to give them, that's for us to decide!"
Hearing this, Yang Jinrong laughed heartily: "Good! Xin'Er is indeed right!"
"West City is inherently ours. Whatever tea we let him drink, he will drink!"
As his words ended.
Yang Jinrong's phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and saw that it was the Patriarch of the Han Family in North City, Han Chen, calling.
Seeing this number, Yang Jinrong frowned. Normally, his surface relationship with the Han Family was one of non-interference, but secretly it was all kinds of underhanded fighting, making them rivals.
Calls from him usually ant bad news.
Though puzzled, Yang Jinrong still answered the call: "Han Chen, speak quickly if you have sothing to say!"
"Oh, it seems our Hall Master Yang is still in a fit, huh? Judging by the news, it sounds like what they say about your Three-blade Hall being beaten into ruins by so kid is true, eh?" A teasing voice ca from the other end of the phone.
Yang Jinrong's face instantly darkened: "Han Chen, you bastard! Use your brain, will you? Is that even possible? Only an idiot would believe those rumors!"
"Oh?" Han Chen's voice sounded very sinister, "But now, the entire Jiangzhou City underground Jianghu is abuzz with it. Aren't those lying in that hospital your Three-blade Hall gang? Yang Jinrong, is your Three-blade Hall incapable now? Hahaha..."
Before Yang Jinrong could speak, the call was abruptly cut off.
"Bastard!"
"Bang!"
Yang Jinrong punched the tea table.
His eyes turned red, his forehead veins bulging, showing his extre anger.
Hu Balei felt depressed witnessing this. It was all caused by his useless brother.
"How can we cover this up? Now it has spread all over Jiangzhou! We've definitely been set up!" Yang Jinrong said coldly, "Li Chuan must die! Otherwise, our Three-blade Hall will beco the biggest joke in Jiangzhou's underground!"
Hu Balei instinctively looked at Yang Xin'Er: "Miss, this matter..."
Yang Xin'Er: "My father is right. If we don't settle Li Chuan's issue, not only will our Three-blade Hall lose face, but our capabilities will also be doubted, let alone taking on the West City project."
"Even if we take on this major West City project early with connections, we'll face trouble later due to various demolition issues. If our people can't even handle a freshman, how will they handle those troubles? We must realize those few villages in West City are notoriously tough to crack!"
Yang Jinrong nodded: "Exactly, take down Li Chuan!"
But Yang Xin'Er shook her head: "No! I am very interested in him. Such a genius, if recruited, would be perfect!"
Yang Jinrong's eyes imdiately lit up upon hearing this. Yang Xin'Er was absolutely right. A young upstart like Li Chuan would find it hard to resist soone like Yang Xin'Er, and with so tactics, he could beco a pawn under her skirt, turning into their super henchman.
...
Li Chuan was resting on the bed, sneezed twice involuntarily.
"Tsk tsk, who's cursing ?"
Just then, the door to the room opened, and Li Chuan turned to see Song Hanzhang entering.
Still in that youthful short sleeve and shorts attire.
"Sis-in-law, did Sister Qingyao leave?"
"What, have you started missing her already?" Song Hanzhang teased.
"No, I was just asking casually. With you around, how would I think of other won?" Li Chuan quickly shook his head.
"Hmph, judging by you two just now, anyone ignorant would think you were the real couple!" Song Hanzhang sat down next to Li Chuan, "You heard what she said just now, although it's about , there's no need to push it if you don't want to go. I never intended to beco a deputy director anyway."
"Sis-in-law, that won't do. A deputy director is a big deal. Now that we know, we have to seize this opportunity no matter what! Don't worry about what Sister Qingyao ntioned, even if I have to go through fire and water, I'll help you achieve it! Treating a female leader is nothing! Easy peasy!"
Song Hanzhang chuckled: "That sly fox Zhao Qingyao does have quite a few connections, many I don't even know. But I'm not sure how reliable this female leader she's talking about is either. You know how quickly situations change in officialdom."
Saying this, Song Hanzhang leaned closer to Li Chuan again.
