Free Web NovelChapter 342: Chapter 341: Even Medicine or Poison Takes Time to Work, Right?
"Yu Qiming sent you?"
Those words gave the security guards, who were relaxing leisurely inside the security office, a huge shock.
Who was Yu Qiming?
He was a famous figure throughout all of Haitong City.
Some people might not have even heard of Chu He’s name, but the name "Yu Qiming" was known to everyone.
However, looking at Yang Ling as she spoke, they saw the corner of her mouth was split and stitched up,
and the guards were skeptical.
But on second thought,
how many people in Haitong City would dare to impersonate one of Yu Qiming’s people?
So, one of the guards quickly jogged into the company building,
not daring to simply walk, afraid that if they truly were sent by Yu Qiming,
he would be the one to suffer if he delayed their business.
Before long, a few men walked out of the elevator,
with the guard who had delivered the message trailing behind them.
The guard kept pointing at the company entrance, apparently saying that the people sent by Yu Qiming were waiting right at the door.
The man in the very center was tall and thin,
with a buzz cut and a solid gold chain around his neck.
"You’re the people Young Master Yu Qiming sent? How come I’ve never seen you before?"
The man with the gold chain and buzz cut stopped and asked doubtfully.
While still several meters away from Sun Yuzhe, Yang Ling, and Sun Leibo,
he stopped walking forward, wary of a trap.
"Boss Qian Huixiong, I was actually lying,"
"but I have something to tell you, and it will be very helpful to you."
Yang Ling said earnestly.
"It had better be helpful. Otherwise, you’ll pay the price today."
The man’s face instantly darkened, and he stared coldly at Yang Ling.
Seeing Qian Huixiong’s expression, the father and son duo, Sun Leibo and Sun Yuzhe, instantly grew incredibly tense.
Everyone knew that this Qian Huixiong hadn’t made his fortune through clean means.
Later, he had latched onto the Yu family’s coattails—Yu Qiming’s family—
which was how he had managed to survive unscathed until now, growing bigger and bigger in the real estate sector.
In the real estate world, Qian Huixiong was the frontman for Yu Qiming’s family.
But people like him were often ruthless. He had numerous construction sites, so if he really wanted to deal with them,
he could just drag them to any one of his sites for a beating,
or even kill them all and use their bodies in the foundation, and no one would ever find out.
Yang Ling, on the other hand, remained remarkably calm at this moment,
not faltering in the slightest because of Qian Huixiong’s chilling expression.
She continued speaking as if to herself, "Young Master Yu Qiming’s father has been dealing with Sun Canxing’s family of three recently."
"I’m sure you’ve heard about this, more or less."
"Then, by some twist of fate, Young Master Yu Qiming took a liking to Sun Canxing."
"But I’m sure you understand what kind of ’liking’ that is."
"Young Master Yu Qiming’s father has already given the order:"
"no Martial Arts Teacher in all of Haitong City is allowed to help Sun Canxing."
"But just last night, Sun Canxing found a Martial Arts Teacher."
"And that Martial Arts Teacher is very young and seems to share some unspeakable secret with Sun Canxing."
"That Martial Arts Teacher is in his twenties at most,"
"and last night, I saw him with my own eyes go into the courtyard next to Sun Canxing’s house to rest."
"They might even be living together already."
"Just think about what Young Master Yu Qiming and his father’s attitude will be when they learn about this."
"What does that have to do with me?" Qian Huixiong asked.
"Each new emperor brings his own courtiers."
"Young Master Yu Qiming’s power is at its zenith,"
"and it probably won’t be long before he takes over."
"But from what I know, you’re one of Young Master Yu Qiming’s father’s men,"
"so I assume you’re not too familiar with the successor."
"If this successor really does take power in the future, where will that leave you?"
"Will Young Master Yu Qiming promote his own people?"
"Instead of waiting for your doom, why not take this opportunity to get in touch with Young Master Yu Qiming? What do you say?"
Yang Ling asked unhurriedly.
"I’m not aware of this matter you speak of. How am I supposed to know if it’s true or not?" Qian Huixiong asked.
"Boss Qian Huixiong, you’re a big shot in our Haitong City."
"Can’t you find out just by making a few calls to ask around?"
Yang Ling said.
Qian Huixiong pondered for a moment, then took out his phone, stepped to the side, and dialed a number.
In truth, Qian Huixiong had long anticipated the problem Yang Ling mentioned;
it was an issue that had been troubling him for some time now.
Yu Qiming’s father, Yu Hongtao, had not been in good health in recent years.
In his youth, Yu Hongtao had pushed his body too hard,
and combined with the busy development of his career, he had inflicted a great deal of strain and damage on his body from overexertion.
Now, out of three hundred and sixty-five days a year,
Yu Hongtao spent at least two hundred of them in various hospitals.
For this reason, Yu Hongtao had even hired a professional medical team at great expense.
Yu Hongtao had a total of thirteen wives that he’d officially married,
and he also kept many mistresses on the side.
But not a single one of his illegitimate children had abilities that could compare to Yu Qiming’s.
Yu Hongtao was also extremely satisfied with Yu Qiming’s performance,
and everyone knew that, barring any accidents,
Yu Qiming was already the designated successor.
Qian Huixiong had also considered whether he should start gradually approaching Yu Qiming.
In fact, Qian Huixiong knew in his heart that it wasn’t just him;
other old subordinates who had followed Yu Hongtao for decades were also agonizing over this problem.
In previous years, they had only ever dealt with Yu Hongtao,
