Fang Ying was very happy to hear that I would protect her. After receiving my assurance, she received a phone call just ten minutes later and made an excuse about her child to leave.
I understood that this was just Fang Ying's way of protecting herself; as long as she stayed by my side, there was a risk of me getting too close. I didn't confront her and let her go.
When I returned to the Enforcement Hall headquarters, I felt a sense of familiarity wash over me. Just as I arrived at the Enforcement Hall, Lu Xian called me.
"Third Brother, I heard you've been quite the ladies' man. Did you just hook up with Fang Ying at Tian Ye Group?"
Lu Xian's voice carried a hint of reproach. I knew someone had reported my every move to him.
"Oh? Haha, yeah, that girl is not bad looking," I laughed and admitted. There was nothing to hide; after all, wasn't I just a wandering playboy? It was expected.
"Not bad? Have you ever seen a woman before? Fang Ying is from Du Tao! Don’t forget how your father instructed you! He told you to weaken Du Tao’s power and eliminate those around him—have you forgotten?"
Lu Xian exploded in anger. What could I say? I simply responded that I hadn't forgotten and that being with her wouldn't affect my duties.
"Fine, as long as you're careful!"
Lu Xian hung up after that. No sooner had he ended the call than Lu Fei called me. Naturally, he was also inquiring about the situation, but his tone was much more amiable than Lu Xian's.
"Brother, I didn’t mean to imply that just because I saw a beautiful woman, I'd go after Fang Ying. I didn’t even mention this to Brother Two. In fact, I'm confident that I can develop Fang Ying as my undercover agent. If I have an insider next to Du Tao, it would make things much easier for me at Tian Ye Group."
I explained my reasoning to Lu Fei. Why couldn't I share this with Lu Xian? The answer was simple: if I wanted to develop Fang Ying as my undercover agent, it would be the end for me if he found out.
"Hmm? Are you really confident? Aren't you worried they might send a double agent your way?"
Lu Fei asked skeptically.
I smiled and replied, "Not worried at all; I'm mentally prepared for anything! At the end of the day, Fang Ying is just an assistant to Du Tao. You know well that Brother Two's main goal is not to eliminate Fang Ying but rather to have her follow me. With Brother Two's people around me, my actions are quite restricted."
I told Lu Fei that in his eyes, I was helping him with his affairs while he viewed Lu Xian as an opponent. Naturally, having Lu Xian's people watching me would make him uncomfortable.
So, I knew that by saying this to Lu Fei, he would definitely find ways to help me. As long as he placed his people around me, perhaps eliminating the threat wouldn’t even require my direct involvement.
"That makes sense," he agreed. "Although we can find excuses to deal with Haoming, you should know that excuses are just excuses—people will see through them eventually. If you can ensure Fang Ying’s loyalty, then fine; but if you're doing this solely for personal gain, let me tell you: no one will spare you."
I understood what Lu Fei meant. If someone died, everyone would know the truth behind it all. His words implied that he wouldn’t take responsibility for my actions; if what I did harmed Qing Gang or the Lu Family, I'd have to face the old man's wrath.
"No problem! I'm confident; don't worry about it!"
I smiled and reassured him. Lu Fei responded affirmatively and said he would ensure his subordinates fully supported me. After that conversation, Lu Fei informed me of another matter: Kang Qin had returned to the Enforcement Hall.
He told me that Kang Qin had arrived that morning and mentioned that she was now essentially the third young mistress of the Lu Family. He had arranged everything for her so that I wouldn’t need to worry about it.
The girl, resembling a little rabbit, I hope she doesn't act recklessly.
Not long after hanging up the phone, Lu Fei's underlings came to find me. They informed me that Lu Fei had already contacted them and asked how to handle the situation.
Of course, I couldn't kill the target openly. Although Lu Xian and the others would definitely know that I was behind the murder, doing it publicly would be like slapping them in the face and challenging them directly, forcing Lu Xian to find a way to regain his honor.
So I instructed them to find a way to secretly eliminate the target and then claim that he had gone missing. I decided not to attend the scene of the murder; such events held no interest for me.
Once I had given them these instructions, they set to work. I thought that killing one person wouldn't be a problem, but that very night, I received news that the target had escaped!
What? Are you all useless? How could so many of you let him get away?
I was filled with anger and disbelief. The people Lu Fei sent were all skilled fighters; what happened? The target only had a sharp mind and was somewhat alert—he didn't possess any other remarkable skills.
"I'm sorry, Yan Shao," our lead underling explained. "He was just too cunning; he carried a flashbang with him."
I sighed in frustration. Regardless of how things had turned out, there was no point in scolding them now. The main priority was to recapture the target; otherwise, who knew where he might resurface from later on?
Just as I was about to ask them where they had let him escape, there was a knock at the door—Enforcement Hall's Xiao Hui requested an audience.
"Yan Shao Ye, Kyoto Headquarters' South District Boss Zheng Yu is here."
What? Zheng Yu?
I was taken aback upon hearing this. Zheng Yu had come? It had been a long time since I last saw him; what could he possibly want?
"Let him in," I said, waving my hand at Xiao Hui. He nodded respectfully and left my office. Moments later, Zheng Yu walked in.
Zheng Yu looked just like before—his expression cold yet smiling, seemingly unchanged. He sat down across from me and smiled as he said, "Yan Shao Ye, are you looking for someone?"
Hmm?
I froze for a moment before realizing what he meant. I knew well what kind of power Zheng Yu wielded in Kyoto; he had connections within the police force. As the third son of the Lu Family at Tian Ye Group, it was inevitable that the police would send someone to follow me and monitor my subordinates to see what I was up to.
So it was very likely that after the target escaped from my underlings, he had been captured directly by Zheng Yu.
Zheng Yu is my brother, so naturally, he wishes for the traitor Zi to die. Zheng Yu must know that I intend to kill Zi, which is why he sent him back to me, while also doing me a favor.
"Is it with you? What do you want in return?" I asked.
I smiled and said, "No need for too much talk. Whatever conditions Zheng Yu offers, I will meet."
"I don’t need anything in return. Thank you for protecting my superior. Here’s the address where Zi is located and the key. You can take it," he replied.
Zheng Yu smiled as he pulled out a key and a piece of paper. After taking it from him, I glanced at the note and saw that Zheng Yu had placed Zi in a hotel, of course under house arrest.
"Alright, I’ll remember this favor. If you ever need anything in the future, feel free to come to me," I said with a smile as I accepted the address and key. I was certainly willing to help Zheng Yu.
After hearing this, Zheng Yu chuckled and thanked me before saying goodbye and leaving. I actually wanted to ask how Lu Ying was doing now; that matter was something Lu Ying had handled for me. I knew she must feel very guilty about it. Just as Zheng Yu had left my sight, I found myself unable to speak up.
This time, the chimney crew was well-prepared, and Zi naturally couldn’t escape. The news of his death quickly reached Qing Gang and Lu Xian’s ears. Lu Xian was furious about it; I heard he smashed a computer, two chairs, and a coffee table in his rage.
This matter was permitted by the old man; even if he was angry, there was nothing he could do about it.
The next day, I called Kang Qin. As my girlfriend, I didn’t even have her contact information; I had to ask someone to get it for me.
"Lu Xian's grudge against me has escalated. You need to be careful lately and watch out for him coming after you," I warned Kang Qin. This situation was similar to how the Lu Family wouldn’t let me take Kang Qin with me before I left; my woman is a channel for others to attack me. I didn’t know if Lu Xian would secretly take his anger out on Kang Qin in his fury.
