Free Web NovelChapter 2054: Chapter 2027: The Dog’s Master
Lin Yafei, upon hearing this, lifted her eyelids and lazily stretched: "I believe you. Back in the day, the fiery police flower of Modu wasn’t afraid to do anything. However, I’m worried that if you take me back, not long after, you’ll obediently bring me back. Do you believe that?"
"You..."
Xue Bing glared angrily at Lin Yafei but was helpless. Given Lin Yafei’s current status, if she dared to arrest Lin Yafei and take her back to the Yanhuang Group, Sima Lingyun might release her the next second and even insist that Xue Bing politely return Lin Yafei, making Xue Bing unable to hold her head high around Lin Yafei for the rest of her life.
"Alright, alright, you two say less."
Bai Zhiqing saw the scene, sighed helplessly, and quickly stepped in to mediate.
No one knows if Xue Bing and Lin Yafei were enemies in a past life, but since Xue Bing appeared here, there’s been a consistent friction with Lin Yafei, with the occasional verbal jab. The result was clear: in terms of arguing, Xue Bing was no match for Lin Yafei, almost being completely outmatched.
Yet, Xue Bing had no intention of conceding, continually taking every opportunity to spar with Lin Yafei as if she was a gambler with a losing streak, always hoping for a comeback.
"Sister Zhiqing, look at her, she’s being so mean. I came in good faith to tell you the news, and this is how she treats me..."
"Am I wrong? Maybe someone has ulterior motives..."
"Alright, alright, Lin Demon, say no more."
Bai Zhiqing seeing Lin Yafei starting again, hurried to stop her. If things continued, Bai Zhiqing feared Xue Bing might really get into a fight with Lin Yafei.
Then Bai Zhiqing looked at Xue Bing and said: "Xiao Bing, we’ve already heard about this matter, but still, thank you for reminding me. I’ll remember this."
"Sister Zhiqing, you’re too kind. It’s nothing more than a small effort."
Xue Bing took a deep breath and said: "Moreover, Group Leader Sima wants to pass on a message to you and Tianxing: this time, the Yanhuang Group cannot intervene, so he should be extra careful himself. If Tang Qingyun takes action, the Yang Family won’t stand idly by and it will deal him a fatal blow; he needs to be wary of the Yang Family."
"I know, I’ll tell him."
Bai Zhiqing nodded gently and said, "Xiao Bing, you’re often in the Yanhuang Group. Do you know Mr. Sima’s opinions on Tang Qingyun?"
"Very dangerous, very terrifying, and an extremely rational person."
Xue Bing slowly spoke: "That’s Group Leader Sima’s opinion on Tang Qingyun."
"He said Tang Qingyun is extremely dangerous and terrifying, willing to sacrifice anyone to achieve his goals, yet rational—never engaging in uncertain activities—calculating every step meticulously, advancing cautiously. If you fall into his trap, it’s very hard to get out."
Hearing Xue Bing’s words, Bai Zhiqing’s brows furrowed deeply; with the enemy in the shadows and Lu Tianxing in the open, this situation was absolutely unfavorable for Lu Tianxing.
"Xiao Bing, do you know where Tang Qingyun is hiding now?" Bai Zhiqing asked Xue Bing, aiming to resolve this unfavorable situation by locating Tang Qingyun’s hideout—seizing the initiative.
"I don’t know."
Xue Bing shook her head and said: "Tang Qingyun is extremely well-hidden; we can’t determine where in Beijing he’s hiding. Even sending people to covertly track Qingtian Alliance’s puppet Alliance Hierarch, Chen Changwu, is useless. The target seems aware of our tracking, often easily eluding our agents."
"Are you sure the target knows you’re trailing him, and it’s not just poor trailing skills?"
"Poor trailing skills?"
For once, Xue Bing didn’t get angry but glanced at Lin Yafei calmly, saying: "So, your subordinates are skilled trackers. So, have you found Tang Qingyun’s whereabouts, Hall Master of Yama Palace?"
"If even your grand Yanhuang Group can’t find it, do you think my little Yama Palace can?" Lin Yafei replied calmly, without any guilt and even mocking Xue Bing.
This implied that if the mighty Yanhuang Group couldn’t find him, then if she could, it would suggest the Yanhuang Group was particularly incompetent, unable to rival even her small force.
Xue Bing understood the implication in Lin Yafei’s words, and coldly retorted: "Pretending to know everything when you can’t find him—your face is thick enough."
"My face might not be as thick as someone else’s, don’t you think!"
With a smile, Lin Yafei looked at Xue Bing.
Listening to Lin Yafei and Xue Bing’s conversation, Bai Zhiqing couldn’t help but raise her hand and touch her forehead. Were these two enemies in a past life? How do they manage to bicker in just a few words? Tonight, might they actually come to blows!
...
In a mansion, while Lin Yafei and Xue Bing were bickering, on the rooftop of a high-rise building in Beijing, there stood a round table adorned with gourmet dishes, top-class culinary creations, accompanied by several cans of beer.
Lu Tianxing sat at the table, holding a can of beer, slowly sipping as he leisurely feasted on the delicacies with his chopsticks.
Opposite him sat Han Zifeng, the Third Young Master of the Han Family, as the two chatted while drinking.
"Boss, I heard you encountered some trouble in Qin Island. Why didn’t you say anything to me? Whenever you ask, I’ll bring people over to help you."
"Just a minor issue, why would I call you in? Coming to Beijing this time is the main event. How about it, do you want to have some fun with me?" Lu Tianxing casually tossed a spicy peanut into his mouth, saying to Han Zifeng.
Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Han Zifeng’s eyes brightened: "Boss, you’re planning to act against the Qingtian Alliance now?"
"Qingtian Alliance?"
Lu Tianxing’s mouth curled into a mocking smile, his tone full of disdain: "Qingtian Alliance is just a dog put on display by someone else, killing a dog doesn’t showcase any skills. This time, I intend to deal with the dog’s master. How about it, Third Young Master Han, are you interested?"
