The dozen underlings nodded repeatedly, with the leading fat-faced fellow patting his chest, "Rest assured, Young Master Ye, as long as that guy dares to show up, he won’t be leaving!"
"Hmm, I’m counting on you all," Tian Xingye slightly relieved his anxiety, "After tonight’s success, each of you will receive a bonus of five hundred thousand."
The crowd immediately beamed with joy, "Thank you, Young Master Ye! Thank you, Young Master Ye!"
Tian Xingye waved his hand, "Go on, set the ambush well, and make sure that the guy has no companions, to avoid any fish slipping through the net."
"Yes, Young Master Ye!" The men immediately retreated and went about their business.
Tian Xingye rubbed his brow, waiting for Yang Yu’s arrival while his mind was filled with the events of last year.
Last June, he happened by chance to see a pretty female clerk at one of his family’s company branches and asked the person in charge of that company to find a way to get her into his bed.
However, the female clerk was very resolute, and other methods did not work, so they had to resort to getting her drunk.
Of course, he also made sure to arrange for damage control afterward, preferably finding a scapegoat to avoid the defiant woman causing trouble, which could tarnish the Tian Family’s reputation.
Everything had initially gone smoothly, but the scapegoat turned out to be as resolute as the woman and chose to commit suicide to prove his innocence.
Tian Xingye thought the family would relentlessly pursue the matter, but instead, the scapegoat’s wife shifted her focus to suing the plaintiff’s lawyer, which secretly relieved him, and he decided not to bother with the matter anymore.
To his shock, someone had obtained new evidence.
Once this evidence was submitted and the case was reheard, even without conclusive evidence, there was no guarantee that problems wouldn’t arise at some stage.
By then, he would be implicated in numerous charges, and if not dead, would end up with a lengthy prison sentence.
He was a scion of the Tian family. Even if he wasn’t the primary heir, he still enjoyed endless luxuries and wealth; he had no intention of going to prison.
Therefore, he would not allow this evidence to leak out!
After what felt like an eternity, it was finally midnight, and Tian Xingye finally awaited Yang Yu, who had disguised himself.
"You’re here," Tian Xingye placed a case in front of Yang Yu, "Count it yourself, ten thousand per stack, a hundred stacks."
"Okay," Yang Yu opened the case and began counting the money carefully.
Tian Xingye sat on the chair, watching Yang Yu count the money with murderous intent in his eyes.
He waited, waiting for his underlings to confirm no one was outside, then he would deal with this fellow!
Yang Yu counted very slowly, actually stalling for time, while Tian Xingye thought Yang Yu was being thorough to ensure no money was missing.
In this way, the two inadvertently reached an unusual consensus, one not rushing, the other not urging.
"Okay," it was unclear how much time had passed, Yang Yu closed the case, smiling as he handed over a USB and a memory card to Tian Xingye, "Mr. Tian, all the evidence is on these, and I’ve deleted the backups. Rest assured, after receiving your money, I definitely won’t cause any more trouble. Otherwise, I’d be committing extortion and would end up in jail, right?"
Tian Xingye casually tossed the USB drive onto the ground, shattering it, "You brat, I don’t care if you have a backup or not, only with your death can I truly be at ease!"
Yang Yu had known about the ambush for a while, but he had to play his part, so he pretended to run away, and then "accidentally" saw those blocking his way. His face filled with shock, "Mr. Tian, you, you... what are you trying to do? Murder is illegal!"
Tian Xingye chuckled sinisterly, "Don’t worry, I won’t get my hands dirty. I’ll kill you first, then make it look like an accident. No one will suspect me."
Yang Yu’s face was filled with fear, shivering, "Mr. Tian, actually... I haven’t... haven’t got any... any more evidence... I was just bluffing, deceiving... just to get some money... That video won’t serve as direct evidence of you assaulting women or framing others!"
"Heh, just think of me as having a guilty conscience then. That Liu Yue was really something; it’s a pity... In the end, my lackeys got the benefit."
Tian Xingye shook his head, "I’m worried that if this case is reopened and those few loose-lipped guys spill the beans, the man who took the fall would have died for nothing, wouldn’t he?"
"So there was such a matter; no wonder you were so nervous." Yang Yu’s expression turned cold, his murderous intent surged, "You ruined an innocent woman, caused the death of a loyal and honest husband, and implicated a poor wife... You’re nothing but scum!"
"Haha, keep cursing, say whatever you want, you won’t be alive much longer anyway." Tian Xingye hadn’t realized his end was near and was still very arrogant, "My Tian family is one of the top ten families in Tianhai City, owning one-third of the investment and brokerage firms in Xia Country. As a third-generation member of the Tian family, what’s wrong with having a bit of fun with a few women?"
"It’s just that Liu Yue was so unaware, neither gentle persuasion nor harsh threats worked, not even money, so I had no choice but to take her by force and let my lackeys have a go too."
"I am the young master of the Tian family, how could I possibly commit such acts of bullying? Naturally, someone had to take the blame for me!"
"I spent millions to find someone to take the blame, that’s quite normal, right? It was an honor for him to take the fall for Young Master Ye of the Tian family!"
"I made sure he would be comfortable in prison, staying there for just a few years before being released. But that idiot chose to commit suicide; what could I do, what could I do?"
Tian Xingye’s rant grew more heated, his eyes bloodshot, his face twisted, "So, you stupid jerk daring to blackmail me, who else should die but you?"
"Very well, you’ve crafted a very detailed self-report." Yang Yu casually removed the small camera he had on him, "Now, it’s time for you to pay the price!"
"What?" Tian Xingye’s face turned pale, twisted, "Zhong Dashu, kill him for me!"
"Sure thing!" The fat-headed guy, wielding a baseball bat, charged at Yang Yu with a dozen others shouting, "Die!"
Zhong Dashu’s baseball bat viciously aimed at Yang Yu’s head, but with a casual punch, Yang Yu struck it and with a "snap", the thick baseball bat instantly shattered!
"What?" Tian Xingye and his group were instantly stunned, "Is this guy even human?"
Yang Yu had no time to waste playing games with these minions; they were unworthy of his effort!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!...
In less than ten seconds, those dozen guys were all knocked down by Yang Yu, scattered and groaning on the ground.
Tian Xingye was pale, sweating profusely, "Who exactly are you? Why are you targeting me so specifically? Why?"
"Targeting you? You really think too highly of yourself, scum." Yang Yu glanced at Tian Xingye disdainfully, "Don’t bother asking who I am, you better think about how you’re going to spend your days in prison!"
