Chapter 127: Chapter 117 [A Dream of Yellow Millet]_2

"Helping Bai Guotao brush up his achievements is secondary, the key point is that the higher-ups want us to help them block Ye Wenhao from gaining prestige in Jiangnan!" Lin Tianyi revealed the mystery.

"Block Ye Wenhao from gaining prestige in Jiangnan?"

Startled by Lin Tianyi’s words, Lin Ao Feng exclaimed, "Dad, are the higher-ups sending us to our deaths? Not to mention Ye Wenhao’s identity in the political realm, his being the former number one on the ’Qing bang’ list is already beyond our ability to contend with."

"In the future, use your brain more and your fists less. Do you think the higher-ups would foolishly send us to clash with the Ye Family to the death?"

Perhaps displeased with Lin Ao Feng’s presumptuous remarks, or perhaps because Lin Ao Feng had failed to grasp his point, Lin Tianyi’s tone carried a hint of dissatisfaction.

Lin Ao Feng was taken aback: "Dad, what do you mean?"

"Every man has his strengths and advantages. For Ye Wenhao, his accomplishments in Martial Arts are his strength, but his work capability is his weakness."

Lin Tianyi enunciated each word: "The Ye Family leveraged the storm in Jiangnan’s official and business sectors to swallow up the Bai Family’s pieces in Jiangnan and replace them with Ye Wenhao parachuted into Jiangnan to polish his credentials for reaching the peak of power. As the economic powerhouse that Jiangnan is, Ye Wenhao, as the number two man, will have his greatest political achievement in boosting the economy."

"Dad, do you mean to start from the economic field to stop Ye Wenhao from gaining prestige?" Lin Ao Feng’s mind raced with a brilliant idea.

"Yes. I’m calling you just to inform you of this matter. The specific implementation plan remains to be discussed."

During the conversation, Lin Tianyi shifted the topic and asked, "By the way, what’s the situation on your end? Have you found the killer who murdered Qiao Bazhi and Qu Feng and the others?"

"We found him. It’s a little bastard named Ye Fan, with the strength of roughly a Half-step Innate. Judging from his martial arts routines, he’s very likely from the Ba Gua Sect." Mentioning Ye Fan, Lin Ao Feng’s teeth itched with hatred, wishing he could immediately slaughter Ye Fan to quench his raging fury!

"Ba Gua Sect?" Lin Tianyi was taken aback, "Our Nanqinghong and the Hongwu Sect bear no grudges against the Ba Gua Sect, so why would someone from Ba Gua Sect suddenly take action against us?"

"Dad, you don’t know, that little bastard is closely related to Situ Chen, and it’s very likely that he’s Situ Chen’s man!" Lin Ao Feng ground his teeth in anger.

"So that’s the case, Situ Chen really did have a fallback plan!" Lin Tianyi’s brow instantly knit together, then he asked, "How did you investigate all this?"

"Three days ago, that bastard Ye Fan led people to our turf and deliberately picked a fight, wounding our people. I had Wang Dong take action to teach him a lesson, but Wang Dong ended up crippled by him!"

To avoid being lectured by Lin Tianyi, Lin Ao Feng skirted the important issues and fabricated, "It was through Wang Dong’s confrontation with that bastard that I discerned he might be from the Ba Gua Sect. At the time, I had no knowledge of his connection with Situ Chen, so I planned to step back for broader skies, but that little bastard was quite arrogant, even wanting to take me on! Fortunately, the Yanhuang Organization’s people arrived in time, and that’s how I narrowly escaped!"

"The people from Yanhuang Organization didn’t punish him?" Lin Tianyi’s smile gradually faded.

"No."

Lin Ao Feng continued, "Afterwards, I reported the incident to Yang Qing, and through various channels, I learned that this little bastard was indeed the murderer of Qiao Bazhi and Qu Feng and others. Yang Qing, always too proud, was furious upon hearing this and had me issue a challenge to the little bastard on his behalf!"

"And then?"

"Yang Qing was crippled, turned into a wastrel."

Although Lin Ao Feng’s hatred for Ye Fan had reached a terrifying level, the memory of Ye Fan’s life-and-death battle with Yang Qing that evening made Lin Ao Feng shudder, "Yang Qing had broken through to the Early Innate Realm during the duel, yet still ended up dead at the hands of that little bastard!"

"What... what did you say?"

This time, Lin Tianyi was so shocked that he jumped up from his chair, "According to what you’ve said, that kid is at most Half-step Innate, and Yang Qing had broken through to the Innate Realm, how could he possibly lose? Could it be that the kid also made a breakthrough during the duel?"

"No."

Lin Ao Feng said gloomily, "Although Yang Qing had broken through to the Early Innate during the duel, his bodily functions had not yet been enhanced since he had just broken through. That bastard, relying on his speed advantage, kept dodging without confronting Yang Qing directly. Finally, when Yang Qing’s inner strength was exhausted, he took the opportunity to cripple Yang Qing."

"What a cunning kid!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Tianyi’s frown deepened, and after thinking, he said, "Therefore, to ensure your safety, you should withdraw from Hanghu. I will send someone else over."

"Dad, there’s no need."

Lin Ao Feng rejected Lin Tianyi’s suggestion, saying, "Although that bastard is ruthless, during the duel between him and Yang Qing, the Yanhuang Organization’s Jiangnan person in charge was present to supervise, and they even warned both parties. Given this, he surely wouldn’t dare to attack me; otherwise, he wouldn’t have remained indifferent until now."

"That kid is clearly stronger than you, and with Ye Wenhao taking a position in Jiangnan, your chances of regaining our turf are practically nil." Lin Tianyi noticed Lin Ao Feng’s unwillingness and said, "Therefore, your staying there would be pointless, better come back."

"Dad, the reason I don’t want to leave is partly indeed because I’m unwilling to give up, but on the other hand, I’ve thought of a way to obstruct Ye Wenhao’s efforts to gain prestige in the economic domain!"

Excited by the brilliant idea that had come to him earlier, Lin Ao Feng spoke enthusiastically, "Moreover, this method could also be used to exact revenge on that little bastard and perhaps even kill him, achieving two birds with one stone!"
