Ghost King Li Ruoyuan asked in surprise, "What kind of bet?"
Lin ngjie also looked at Old Wang Ba in surprise, not understanding what this old man was really up to.
"Since the two of you do not agree, it's perfect to make a bet," Old Wang Ba said. "Let's bet on whether Ye Qing will return victorious tonight or be completely annihilated. The bet is simple: if Ye Qing returns victorious, starting today, Ghost King, you must listen to Miss Lin's orders."
"Why should I?" Ghost King Li Ruoyuan imdiately widened his eyes and said angrily, "Expecting to listen to a woman, you might as well kill !"
"Ghost King, we haven't even started the bet yet, and you're already sure you'll lose?" Old Wang Ba said. "Besides, I haven't ntioned Miss Lin's stake yet, and you're already scared?"
"I... am I damn scared?" Ghost King Li Ruoyuan stiffened his neck and said, "I just find your words a bit off. Complete annihilation is of course impossible. If they co back with even one person, do I win or lose?"
"Then how many people do you think Ye Qing's group will manage to bring back?" Old Wang Ba asked. "You say it, Miss Lin will surely bet with you!"
Just as Lin ngjie was about to speak, Old Wang Ba quietly waved his hand at her, signaling her not to speak.
Ghost King Li Ruoyuan furrowed his brow, finding it difficult to decide at this mont.
Old Wang Ba looked at Li Ruoyuan with a faint smile and said, "Ghost King, are you scared, or do you think you spoke too soon earlier? If you're scared, you can simply take back what you said earlier, and we don't have to bet!"
"Bullshit, am I scared?" Li Ruoyuan glared and said, "How about this: if Ye Qing and his team co back with more than two-thirds of their people, then I lose. How's that?"
"Didn't you say half just now?" Lin ngjie coldly mocked.
Li Ruoyuan pretended not to hear her and looked at Old Wang Ba, saying in a deep voice, "Alright, now it's ti for you to say, if Lin ngjie loses, what should she pay?"
"Two-thirds of the people, that should be an acceptable bet!" Old Wang Ba nodded and said, "Let's settle on that. If less than two-thirds co back, then we'll consider Miss Lin has lost. If she loses, how about she accompanies you for life?"
"Why should I?" Lin ngjie imdiately objected.
But Li Ruoyuan was very pleased, saying repeatedly, "That's good, that's good, let's settle on that."
As he spoke, Li Ruoyuan greedily looked Lin ngjie up and down. Since entering the teahouse, he had been eyeing Lin ngjie. It was only because Cui Yu and Cui Yulong were protecting Lin ngjie that he had no chance. Now that Old Wang Ba had spoken such words, it was precisely what he desired!
"I won't bet with him!" Lin ngjie said anxiously.
Old Wang Ba glanced at Lin ngjie and said, "Miss Lin, are you refusing to bet with him because you don't have confidence in Ye Qing?"
Lin ngjie quickly said, "Ye will definitely not lose, but I..."
Before Lin ngjie could finish, Old Wang Ba directly said, "Then it's decided. If you truly have confidence in Ye Qing, then bet on this. If not, you can choose not to bet. However, you must take back your previous words and admit that Ye Qing is destined to lose tonight!"
Old Wang Ba's words made Lin ngjie choke, aghast. She didn't want to beco the stake of the bet. But at this mont, she couldn't refuse either. If she refused, wouldn't that indicate a lack of confidence in Ye Qing? With so many people doubting Ye Qing's decision, if she also didn't believe in Ye Qing, then who would?
After biting her lip and remaining silent for a while, Lin ngjie nodded fiercely, looking at Ghost King Li Ruoyuan with determination and said in a deep voice, "Fine, I'll bet with you!"
"Hee hee hee..." Ghost King Li Ruoyuan kept laughing wickedly, his gaze on Lin ngjie becoming even more brazen, making her flesh creep, and she couldn't help but step back.
Seeing Li Ruoyuan's behavior, Cui Yu sighed. He knew that the bet was already lost by Li Ruoyuan. Old Wang Ba had borrowed three years of good fortune for Ye Qing, who now had his life grid, luck, and feng shui on his side. His rise was unstoppable. Just as Old Wang Ba had said, at this ti, whatever Ye Qing wanted to do, even heaven would help him—this was destiny. Therefore, Ye Qing would definitely not lose tonight!
What's more, Old Wang Ba was very cunning. Since he had egged them on to make this bet, he must have been completely sure. Unfortunately, Li Ruoyuan's understanding of Old Wang Ba was insufficient, and he fell right into Old Wang Ba's trap.
Though Cui Yu was clear about these things internally, he still harbored so doubts. Because, in his view, Ye Qing was bound to suffer losses tonight. What was he relying on to turn defeat into victory?
The mont Ye Qing and his team set off, Shangguan Tian received the news and his heart sank. What was bound to co finally arrived, and it seed that Ye Qing was truly preparing to make his move on Qingfeng Club tonight.
Without any hesitation, Shangguan Tian decided to send people to help out at Qingfeng Club. However, gathering people at this late hour was not easy. He managed to borrow so people from Li Wenyuan, and finally assembled enough manpower, ordering them to hurry to Qingfeng Club. This ti, he planned to join forces with Li Wenyuan to crush all of Ye Qing's people and take away Ye Qing's foundation in Shenchuan City!
Just as Shangguan Tian was dispatching his n, on the other hand, Ye Qing's convoy suddenly stopped in a small grove on the outskirts of the city.
"What's the matter?" Li Lianshan, who was in a car behind, ca out and asked in surprise, "Why aren't we moving?"
Ye Qing didn't say a word; Black Bear, Mad Dog, Yue Peng, and so others, brought out so strange equipnt and rushed to the back few cars.
Li Lianshan asked in surprise, "What's this for? What's that thing? Ye Zi, what are you playing at?"
Ye Qing replied, "A signal detector!"
"Signal detector? What's it for?" Li Lianshan was even more stunned; he had never heard of such a device.
Ye Qing explained, "It can detect if soone is carrying a mobile phone or a tracker!"
"What?" Li Lianshan was taken aback and said, "Didn't you just ask everyone to split into pairs and throw away their mobile phones? Why are you still checking at this point?"
Ye Qing didn't reply but watched as Black Bear and the others got into the cars at the back. In less than five minutes, all the vehicles had been checked, and more than a dozen people with mobile phones were pulled out, to Li Lianshan's astonishnt.
"Motherfucker, didn't you tell them to leave their phones behind? How co they still brought their phones out?" Li Lianshan angrily rebuked. So of those caught were his n, which irked him greatly.
Yue Peng coldly said, "Without mobile phones, how would they report back to Shangguan Tian!"
"You... you're saying that these bastards are spies?" Li Lianshan grew even more furious, and he roared as he was about to beat those n but was held back by Ye Qing.
"Big Brother Li, the matter at hand is more important; we'll deal with the rest later!" Ye Qing said sternly, "Mad Dog, take so n and keep an eye on these people, make sure they don't escape. Yue Peng, you drive in front and follow the original plan!"
"The original plan? What plan?" Li Lianshan asked curiously.
"You'll find out soon enough," Ye Qing replied.
"Damn, what exactly are you planning to do? How co I don't know anything about your plan?" Li Lianshan said, sowhat annoyed, "We are partners, aren't we? You keeping in the dark about everything, that's hardly treating like a friend!"
Seeing Li Lianshan this way, Ye Qing patted his shoulder and said, "Big Brother Li, I absolutely trust you. But the people around you might not all be trustworthy."
"And the people around you are all trustworthy?" Li Lianshan challenged.
"It's different!" Ye Qing shook his head and explained, "Those who know the plan were all previously in prison in Tianhui City. Even if Shangguan Tian and Li Wenyuan wanted to bribe them, they'd have to go to the prison to do it, which is simply impossible. Therefore, they are definitely reliable and can absolutely keep a secret. Big Brother Li, rest assured, I'm well aware of what I'm doing!"
Ye Qing nodded at Li Lianshan and said, "Big Brother Li, if you trust , just do as I say and don't worry about anything else!"
Li Lianshan frowned, pondered for a mont, and then gritted his teeth, "Damn, I'll go through fire and water with you, just don't lead into a trap!"
With that, Li Lianshan got into his car. Seeing that Ye Qing was not moving, he couldn't help but ask in wonder, "Ye Zi, why aren't you leaving?"
"You go ahead, I've got a little matter to deal with," Ye Qing responded.
"You sure have a lot of matters!" Li Lianshan remarked, his mouth twitching. Then he followed Yue Peng, and the convoy set off again, heading towards Qingfeng Club.
anwhile, Ye Qing, accompanied by Black Bear, did not follow the convoy but took a side road into the city center and arrived at a secluded alley in North City District.
In the middle of the alley, amid the darkness, a young man erged—Du Tianyi.
"Brother Du!" It was clear Ye Qing knew Du Tianyi would be there. He waved and asked, "How's it going?"
Du Tianyi replied, "Tianqing Gang and Fu Bang's n that could be easily mobilized have basically all headed to the Qingfeng Club. Now, Shangguan Tian and Li Wenyuan's defenses are at their weakest, the best ti to strike!"
"Then let's go directly to them!" Ye Qing said decisively.
Du Tianyi fell silent for a mont before saying, "Ye Qing, there may also be experts protecting Shangguan Tian and Li Wenyuan. Be prepared. Even if their n aren't with them, it's not guaranteed we can apprehend them!"
"Whether we can catch them or not, we have to try. No matter what, we need to get to the bottom of Uncle Tie's death!" Ye Qing stated firmly.
Looking at Ye Qing, Du Tianyi nodded slowly and declared, "If I find out who caused Master's death, I'll kill them with my own hands!"
"With that said, you'll probably have to get in line!" Ye Qing retorted. "I too want to personally kill the one who caused Uncle Tie's death!"
The two looked each other in the eye, their feelings aligned, both seeking vengeance for Tie Yongwen.
"Let's go!" Du Tianyi gestured, saying, "I just got the news that both n are currently at Shangguan Tian's house. Striking now will catch them completely off guard!"
