“Guo Bin, what I can tell you is, once I’ve promised something, I won’t go back on my word. If you don’t have confidence in me, you can now take your men to fight it out with Chen Yuan, and see who ends up benefiting!” Ye Tian said to Guo Bin.
“Can I trust you? Your guts are full of tricks, you’ve even managed to thoroughly investigate what happened with Xiao Yi before, I really don’t know how to trust a fox!”
Ye Tian was at a loss for words; this was the best plan he could think of right now.
Chen Yuan was still dressed as he was yesterday, only today the living room had been cleaned up, free of idle people, indicating that he now truly intended to discuss matters seriously.
“Brother Ye Tian, I think I’ve understood what you said yesterday. I’ve also thought about it carefully overnight, and I find what you said makes a lot of sense,” Chen Yuan straightforwardly gave Ye Tian a favor.
“I just happened to think of it occasionally, and Master Chen, you understood so quickly, I really admire you.”
“So the one-third of the territory you mentioned is still on the table, right?”
“Of course, it is. I wonder if Master Chen has scared off the snakes?”
“No.” Find the newest release on Nove1Fire.net
Guo Bin listened on the side, feeling that their conversation was like reading a heavenly book, he could hardly understand a word, but now he had no other choice. If he didn’t believe Ye Tian, Zhang Qiang might already be turning the tide.
“Good. I haven’t explained everything to Guo Bin yet, Master Chen, please don’t blame me. You know his temper, and if we’re going to put on a play, we have to go through the complete set. However, rest assured, I will fulfill what I’ve promised. Can I take Miss Bai away now?”
“Hahaha, let’s not beat around the bush in front of honest people. You give me what I’m owed right now, and I’ll let Miss Bai go with you immediately. I think, Brother Ye Tian, you’ve seen my elder brother, he is really interested in Miss Bai. Even if I could keep her for a while, I can’t be sure she’d be safe while I’m asleep,” Chen Yuan laughed like a cunning old fox.
Ye Tian had already anticipated this; no one would help him for nothing, this matter could even cost lives if not handled properly.
“Of course. Guo Bin, show Master Chen the territory we’ve prepared for him.”
The places prepared for Chen Yuan were carefully selected by Ye Tian, who couldn’t afford to surrender all the profitable businesses to him. Of course, Chen Yuan wasn’t a fool either, and wouldn’t take over unprofitable ones.
The territories Ye Tian chose were strategically located with both good and bad businesses; a deliberate pairing, most crucially, these places were very close to Chen Yuan’s turf, Ye Tian couldn’t afford to give Chen Yuan any chance due to a momentary oversight.
“Brother Ye Tian, seeing as you chose these territories with such care, I won’t be shy and will take them all,” Chen Yuan glanced at Ye Tian’s selections and immediately understood his intention; this young man really didn’t want to suffer any loss.
“Then please, Master Chen, let Miss Bai come out,” Ye Tian said.
Guo Bin, watching Bai Yanwu, felt very angry in his heart, but he couldn’t flare up now; it was frustrating.
“How’s Xiao Yi now?” Ye Tian knew that Yanwu was still unconscious.
“He still hasn’t woken up, although his life is not in danger.”
“Alright, spread the news about his severe injuries, the grimmer, the better. I want to see what moves Zhang Qiang makes.”
“You just want to know who is behind all this, right? I can tell you!” Guo Bin didn’t want Xiao Yi to be in danger.
“Do you think you met the real person? It was just a scapegoat! You really believe they let you become the gang leaders for nothing, and there’s nothing else for you to do? Don’t be so naïve, okay?”
“What else can we do? We’ve done quite a lot for him over these years,” Guo Bin didn’t understand.
“You have a blockhead, a pity that such a clever person as Xiao Yi sees nothing but hatred. Otherwise, he may very well know the person’s motives, but still seeks revenge, ready to sacrifice his own life!”
The way was filled with silence.
Ye Tian took Yanwu to his place. For those with intentions, she could still be used. Once he finished his busy tasks in a few days, he’d hurry to send her away.
Regarding Bai Shi’s death, Ye Tian always felt it was not a natural one, but an accident. However, who caused the accident, he could guess, yet Ye Tian always felt as if Bai Shi might somehow still have a move to play, despite him being dead, as if he was still alive.
Who knew Bai Shi best? Ye Tian asked Yanwu, and her answer was that nobody knew what was going through her father’s mind. He had no confidant, nothing at all. The man was too cold-hearted, but toward his own wife and daughter, he was extremely considerate. No, something was wrong. There was a problem somewhere.
Why did Sun Yue know about Xiao Yi’s matter? This question had never been pursued by anyone. And why did Gao Ping take such a drastic action against the Sun Family back then? Going by Bai Shi’s methods at the time, Gao Ping should have died, but Bai Shi didn’t kill him. Could it be that Gao Ping knew something?
