589: Chapter 587: Dark Undercurrents Stir_2 589: Chapter 587: Dark Undercurrents Stir_2 Jiang Zhentian also furrowed his brow slightly, slowly took a sip of tea, and then scoffed coldly, “What is Liu Dingyang up to?
The Black Specter’s people are hard to control; if not handled well, things will go wrong.
Others might not know, but Zhao Wangxu can’t possibly fail to find out that these people are secretly protected by Liu Dingyang.
Call Liu Dingyang right away.”
“Yes,” the man replied respectfully, immediately picked up the phone, dialed a number, and respectfully handed it to Jiang Zhentian.
The call was quickly connected.
Liu Dingyang didn’t wait for Jiang Zhentian to speak and took the initiative, “Brother Tian, I already know about the incident.
I was too negligent this time.
Those damned mutts stirred up such a commotion.
Fortunately, those three women weren’t harmed, or else I would have had to flee immediately.
Hmm, Tangyu’s life is really tough to take.”
“Hmm, it’s your life that’s lucky.
If something had happened to those three women, no one would have been able to save you.
I had long instructed you not to use those people until absolutely necessary, and even then, you should have been clean and tidy, cover your tracks better.
But look at you, causing such a stir, Zhao Wangxu smashed your bar, and that’s just a small warning to you, indicating he already knows this matter is connected to you.
Based on my understanding of Zhao Wangxu, he definitely won’t let this go easily.
He’s very protective of his little sister.
And I’m not sure what the Guo Family and Lin Family might do,” Jiang Zhentian angrily scoffed.
“Brother Tian, you’re right in your reprimand.
I know what to do now.
I’ll cover my tracks better and sever my ties with those people, arranging for them to be sent away,” Liu Dingyang said.
“Good to know.
Just keep low for now.
I’ll handle Zhao Wangxu for you,” Jiang Zhentian said.
“Thank you, Brother Tian.
I understand,” Liu Dingyang responded.
After hanging up, Jiang Zhentian played with his teacup, his eyes flashing with a threatening light.
The man suddenly handed over the phone again, placing it in front of Jiang Zhentian.
He glanced at the number on the screen, his brow furrowing slightly, a peculiar light flashing in his eyes.
After a slight hesitation, he picked up the call and waved his hand at the man, who quickly departed.
Once the man had left, Jiang Zhentian began, “Sect Leader, what’s the matter?”
“Jiang Zhentian, who told you to kill Tangyu?
He can’t die now; he’s still useful to me.
Control your people, and don’t lay a hand on Tangyu again,” the voice of a woman came through the phone, very pleasant to the ear yet tinged with anger.
Jiang Zhentian lightly laughed, “Sect Leader, you seem very concerned about Tangyu.
Why shouldn’t we eliminate him to prevent future threats since he’s not beneficial to us?”
“How dare you speak to me like that.
This is not a discussion—I am ordering you.
Immediately stop all your actions.
Without my command, do not touch Tangyu.
He has something I need.
If anything happens to him and I can’t get what he needs, you better be prepared for punishment.
If Tangyu had really been killed today, the thing I need would definitely be gone; you should understand what consequences that would bring.
I don’t want to ramble on, but from now on, don’t take any actions without my direct orders, or don’t blame me for being unkind,” the voice sternly ordered.
Jiang Zhentian also coldly laughed, “Today’s incident was indeed a mishap; such an event won’t happen again.
However, Tangyu’s life cannot be spared; he’s a member of the Ghost Medical Sect, looking to sabotage our plans, so we must eradicate him as soon as possible.”
“How insolent, do you not understand my words?”
“Don’t be angry, Sect Leader.
I understand your words, but I was also acting under orders.
If there’s something you don’t understand, you might ask our Sect Leader herself.
I believe she would provide a reasonable explanation for you,” Jiang Zhentian said.
“Master?” The voice on the other end hesitated.
“I have other matters to deal with, so I’m hanging up now,” Jiang Zhentian said, and then he hung up the phone, his face full of mocking laughter.
The man who had left earlier quickly returned, bowed respectfully to Jiang Zhentian, and reported, “Brother Tian, Zhao Wangxu has arrived.”
“Oh, he’s come quite quickly.
Since he’s here, we naturally have to receive him.
Let him in,” Jiang Zhentian said.
——
Princess Apartments.
“That was so thrilling, so dangerous, so explosive.
Good brother, you just killed someone, how can you be so calm?” Zhao Yaya was still visibly excited, seemingly unaffected by the recent turmoil, probably only someone as carefree as her could remain so.
At least Lin Feifei and Guo Momo’s emotions had not yet calmed down completely; thinking back, they felt a wave of fear, as if they had walked through the Ghost Gate.
“Yaya, stop talking about it, let’s just forget what happened just now,” Momo said.
“I found it really thrilling, just like in the movies.
Experiencing something out of a blockbuster feels pretty awesome.
What’s there to be scared of, Sister Momo?
As long as our good guy brother is protecting us, nothing will happen to us,” Zhao Yaya said.
“You might be safe, but Tangyu is in great danger,” Momo said irritably.
Zhao Yaya blinked and responded, “How can our good guy brother be in danger when he’s so awesome?
Doesn’t he always manage to turn danger into safety?
He’s really amazing.
Every time the bad guys try to kill him, they never succeed.
I don’t believe there’s anyone in this world who can harm our good guy brother.
Don’t worry.”
“Do you really think your good guy brother is a god or something?” Momo asked.
Zhao Yaya nodded and said, “Yes, I do think of him as a god.
He’s the male god of my heart.
Oh yeah.”
“…”
Tangyu pursed his lips and said, “I’m human, not a god.
I’ve just been lucky.
If my luck had been bad, I probably would have been done for.
Next time, we need to be more careful.
We can’t just go out for fun anymore, at least not until this whole thing is completely resolved.
There’s nothing wrong with just staying at home.
Feifei, Momo, you should call home and let them know you’re safe, so your families won’t worry.”
Both nodded.
Momo went aside to make a call, and just as Lin Feifei was about to make a call, she heard the sound of a car from outside, a very familiar sound.
Knowing this sound, Lin Feifei realized it was her father, who drove a Rolls Royce Phantom, a model she was very familiar with.
“Someone’s here, I’ll go open the door.” Zhao Yaya immediately ran to open the door and started shouting, “Uncle Lin, is that you?”
“Dad.” Lin Feifei also quickly went to greet him, followed by Tangyu: “Uncle Lin, you’re here.”
Lin Guotai’s gaze meticulously surveyed both Tangyu and Lin Feifei, and only after seeing that they were unharmed did he relax and say, “Don’t just stand there, come and sit down and let’s talk.
Um, where’s Momo?”
“Sister Momo is making a call,” Lin Feifei said.
“Oh.” Lin Guotai nodded, and everyone sat down on the sofa.
Lin Guotai then said, “Seeing you’re all safe makes me relieved.
I came over as soon as I got the news.
Tangyu, what is your take on this situation?”
Knowing what Lin Guotai implied by his question, and having no reason to hide anything from him, Tangyu replied, “I do have a suspect, although I’m not a hundred percent sure, it’s quite likely the case.”
“Liu Dingyang?” Lin Guotai asked.
Tangyu, slightly startled, looked at Lin Guotai, but soon realized it wasn’t surprising for Lin Guotai to know since he always cared about his relationship with Lin Feifei.
Considering who in Donglin City would most want to kill him, Liu Dingyang was obviously a candidate.
Moreover, the complexity behind this incident wasn’t simple; an ordinary person couldn’t have such extensive reach.
Combining that with the location of the incident being Liu Dingyang’s mask bar, it naturally led to suspicions towards Liu Dingyang.
“That’s what I was thinking too,” Tangyu nodded.
“Good, leave this matter to me.
As for other issues, I’ll leave them to you.
If you need any help, just let me know,” Lin Guotai said.
“Yes, Uncle Lin,” Tangyu nodded.
After sitting for a while longer and asking about their welfare, Lin Guotai offered some advice and then left.
After sending off Lin Guotai, Tangyu also pursed his lips, as tonight’s events had indeed unsettled Donglin City.
However, this was also a good thing as it would prevent Liu Dingyang from making more moves in secret.
The men from Second Tiger and Black Specter were not of much concern to Tangyu.
