“You have quite an appetite, don’t you?” Ling Qing said coldly as she looked at Ye Tianchen.
“How can one accomplish great things without a little appetite?
Miss Four, how else could you trust to handle your affairs?” As Ye Tianchen spoke, he wrapped his arm around Ling Qing’s waist and pulled the naked woman in front of him, a cruel smile also appearing on his lips.
Ling Qing was shocked.
She had not anticipated that Manager Apo could be so cunning and ambitious.
Originally, the promise of the “Vice Chairman” position at the Ling Group was only a temporary solution.
Once she took control of the entire Ling Group, Manager Apo, this butler, would probably end up dead without even his bones left.
Who would have expected that the Manager Apo in front of her was not so easily fooled?
Even though she was fully naked and had promised him a position he dared not dream of his entire life, he remained cool-headed, insisting on first obtaining Ling Xia’s ten percent of Ling Group’s shares, which was far more practical than any Vice Chairman position.
“Fine, I like your intelligence and guts, Manager Apo.
Just kill Ling Yuyang and Ling Xia, and I guarantee you’ll first get the ten percent shares of Ling Group,” Ling Qing finally nodded and said.
“Wrong, Miss Four.
I, Apo, have been the butler in the Ling family mansion for so many years, serving by the young master’s side for over a decade.
It’s not been easy to survive until now, and I want to enjoy life a bit more.
I don’t wish to die too early!” Ye Tianchen shook his head and said.
“What do you an?
Are you scared?” Ling Qing asked coldly.
“Scared?
Miss Four, if I were scared, I wouldn’t be sitting here negotiating with you.
I just want to be more cautious, live a little longer and enjoy a beautiful life in my later years,” Ye Tianchen shrugged and said.
By now, Ye Tianchen had fully adapted to “Apo” attribute because he realized that the Bone Transformation Skill, despite being very powerful in mimicking soone’s face, physique, and aura, couldn’t give him insights into that person’s life conditions.
When faced with people and situations that “Apo” had encountered before, it was easy to unveil his cover.
If Ye Tianchen were in the presence of a powerful person, it would be easy to arouse their suspicion.
Therefore, the only way to avoid suspicion was to first observe and understand that person’s character and so habits, including the circumstances around people in their life.
Only then could he be completely safe.
If Ye Tianchen had directly agreed to Ling Qing’s request, going ahead to kill Ling Yuyang and Ling Xia, he would be too foolish.
After the murders, he, “Apo,” would likely be the next one to die because Ling Qing would certainly kill to silence him and could cleanly push everything onto him, saying that “Apo” coerced Ling Yuyang and Ling Xia for the Ling family’s assets.
When they refused, they were killed.
This reason was indeed very solid, and following this plan, Ling Qing could obtain at least fifty percent of the Ling Group’s shares.
Then, for the remaining fifty percent, she could think of other thods.
“So you an…” Ling Qing frowned and asked.
“You first send soone to kill Ling Xia, and after I get the ten percent shares, I will then help you kill Ling Yuyang!” Ye Tianchen said with a smile.
“Hmph, what right do you have, Apo, to make such demands of ?
Aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you?” Ling Qing said coldly, glaring fiercely at Ye Tianchen.
“I know Miss Four has the strength to do so, but I, Apo, still have so use.
I also want to see Miss Four’s sincerity first, right?” Ye Tianchen asked with a cold laugh.
Ling Qing furrowed her brows deeply and sat on the sofa, her naked body picking up the teacup from the coffee table and taking a sip.
Clearly, she had not expected Apo to make such a request.
His ambitious and cunning far exceeded her imagination.
It seed that using Apo to take care of Ling Yuyang and Ling Xia, and effortlessly taking control of the entire Ling Group was not as easy to achieve as she had thought.
Concerning power, while Ling Qing had her forces, they were too strong and evil, not sothing she dared to provoke lightly.
Only in the most critical and unavoidable situations would she employ them, utilizing Apo to kill Ling Yuyang and Ling Xia, instantly obtaining fifty percent of the shares.
This was her best strategy, but she hadn’t anticipated Apo’s greed and careful caution.
“Are you afraid I won’t keep my promise after it’s done?” Ling Qing asked with a smile.
“Whether you keep your promise is secondary.
I’m afraid that after doing your bidding, I won’t even have my life left!” Ye Tianchen also said with a smile.
“I didn’t realize Manager Apo was so cautious.
Well then, I agree.
Tonight, you will see Ling Xia’s corpse,” Ling Qing said gravely.
“In that case, I’ll wait for the good news from Miss Four,” Ye Tianchen said.
“After Ling Xia is dead, I want to see Ling Yuyang’s corpse imdiately, or else the first to die will be you…” Ling Qing said coldly as she looked at Ye Tianchen.
“We’ll see!”
After he had finished speaking, Ye Tianchen got up, didn’t even glance at Ling Qing, and left the room.
Ling Qing watched Ye Tianchen’s retreating figure, always feeling that sothing was amiss.
This “Manager Apo” still exuded the sa sinister and cunning vibe as before, but now he seed more composed and at ease.
Why was that?
Could it be that Manager Apo was confident he could obtain what he wanted?
Thump, thump, thump!
Shortly after Ye Tianchen had left the room, there ca a knock at the door.
Ling Xia sat naked on the sofa, accustod to her nudity and confident in her body.
Concerns about propriety between n and won, the sense of sha, didn’t exist in Ling Qing’s heart anymore.
What mattered more was getting what she desired and indulging in carnal pleasures.
“Co in!” Ling Qing called out.
The door opened, and in ca Ling Qing’s maidservant.
After entering the room, she too began to strip, standing naked before Ling Qing.
A woman’s body was just that, but what made this maid similar to Ling Qing was the tattoo on her lower abdon—green cat eyes within a bat’s body, exuding an evil, eerie aura.
“Master, what should we do next?
Should we kill that old tortoise, Manager Apo?” the maid asked.
“You uttering those words ans I could kill you.
Understand our goal.
Manager Apo may be arrogant, but he’s just a dog—a dog I can kill at any ti.
He still has so value to us.
We shouldn’t disrupt our grand plan over a barking dog,” Ling Qing said sternly.
“I’m sorry, master, I was a bit hasty.
The sect has been pressuring us, saying they want to use their powers to help us take over the Ling Group!” the maid said, sowhat frightened.
“The sect…” Ling Qing muttered to herself, glanced at the sinister tattoo on her abdon, shuddered suddenly, and then continued, “Go kill Ling Xia.
Tomorrow is the last day the M country governnt has given the Ling family.
I need to control at least fifty percent of the Ling Group’s shares.
Anyone who stands in my way must die!”
“Yes, master!”
The maid left, and Ling Qing touched the tattoo on her abdon, shivering.
It reminded her of a past she didn’t want to rember, a mory she didn’t want to revisit.
Now, escaping it was impossible; she could only live under control.
At this ti, Ye Tianchen had already returned to Ling Yuyang’s residence.
Ling Yuyang naturally hadn’t rested yet.
Tomorrow was the last day the M country governnt had given the Ling family to consider their options.
After tomorrow, it was uncertain what asures the M country governnt would take, potentially ushering in an unimaginable violent storm, and determining whether Ling Yuyang could acquire the entirety of the Ling Group’s assets, and whether his ambitions would be fulfilled.
Many were likely restless tonight, not just Ling Yuyang.
“Is it done?” Ling Yuyang saw Ye Tianchen enter the room and quickly asked.
“Young master, I have personally seen Ling Shuanghe and Ling Yuxun consu the Songhua Cake,” Ye Tianchen replied respectfully.
“Excellent, now the entire Ling family, the entire Ling Group is within my control.
Shall we proceed with the next step right now?” Ling Yuyang asked eagerly.
“We can proceed now!” Ye Tianchen nodded.
“Good!”
Ling Yuyang took out a white bottle, the one containing the sedative drugs.
He opened the cap, then stretched out his right hand, holding a fruit knife in his left, and swiftly slashed his middle finger.
Droplets of fresh blood fell into the white bottle, imdiately emitting puffs of blood-red vapor.
This thod was akin to a sacrificial ritual and casting a curse, sowhat similar to the folk “beating the little person” practice—writing the na of one’s enemy on a doll, applying one’s own blood to it, and then stabbing it with needles, causing the hated person to suffer as if pricked by needles.
Whether such thods truly worked was uncertain, but now what Ling Yuyang did was exactly this.
He added his own blood to the white bottle, and Ling Shuanghe and Ling Yuxun, the grandchildren who had consud the drugs, were now under control.
“What’s going on?
I don’t feel any strange changes.
Did I do sothing wrong?” Seeing that he had already bled into the bottle significantly yet felt nothing different, Ling Yuyang turned to Ye Tianchen, puzzled.(To be continued.
