Chapter 518: Chapter 556, That’s Exactly What I Was Waiting For You to Say!

Upon Fang Yi’s reminder, Rong Shuo finally snapped back to reality, but his gaze did not fully retract; it was merely not as passionate and obvious as before, considerably more restrained.

"Right, right, right, let’s talk business, business is important," said Rong Quan with a smile.

"Mm, Young Master Rong, go ahead and tell me, what’s the sudden reason for calling me over? Is there a challenging problem you need me to solve?" Fang Yi said with a smile, taking a sip of his drink that was not spiked.

As if his weak spot had been poked, Rong Quan instantly showed an angry expression and stared at Fang Yi, saying, "Fang Yi! We are in a partnership, why did you sell that ’Bewitching Mouth Fragrance’ formula to Li Xuan?"

I knew you’d bring this up, Fang Yi had naturally anticipated this and replied with a smile, "Does Young Master Rong not trust his partner?"

Rong Quan was slightly taken aback before he said, "It’s not that I don’t trust you, but... but..."

"But you’re pretty upset, right?" Fang Yi leaned back on the sofa, crossed his legs, maintaining a comfortable posture, and said, "After all, I sold the ’Bewitching Mouth Fragrance’ formula to our common enemy, which must have surprised you, right?"

"Yes!"

"But did Young Master Rong ever consider that I did it deliberately?" Fang Yi lit up a cigarette, his expression inscrutable.

Hesitant, Rong Quan started to believe him when he saw Fang Yi’s mysterious demeanor, "You... did it on purpose?"

"Of course, I did it on purpose. After all, Li Xuan is our common enemy. Besides, if I put in a little less of something or a little more of something in the formula, what do you think will happen?"

"That’d be adulteration, I love it," said Rong Quan. He then realized it was very much in line with his own style; he enjoyed sabotaging others, and seeing Fang Yi doing the same brought some joy to him.

However, something else seemed to strike Rong Quan, and his expression darkened as he said, "Even if what you say is true, Li Xuan’s barbecue shop is doing really well, and even the business at your barbecue stand has worsened."

"What the hell?!" This was unexpected for Fang Yi, who cursed out loud before quickly composing himself, remembering his mother-in-law had been nearby.

Fang Yi hadn’t visited the Qingtian Barbecue stall in the past few days, so he was unaware of the situation there; apparently, some uncontrollable incidents had occurred.

"Let’s not talk about that now, in short, do you have any other information for me?" Fang Yi said. He was in no hurry to discuss the situation at the barbecue stall, so he asked Rong Quan if there was anything else he wanted to say.

Conflicted, Rong Quan spoke in a grave tone, "Fang Yi, can I trust you?"

Fang Yi was taken aback, then firmly replied, "Of course, you can! After all, we have the same enemy!"

Rong Quan nodded, took a deep breath, and said, "My father... he’s in bad shape."

"In bad shape?" Fang Yi looked puzzled, "What do you mean by ’in bad shape’?"

"My father has cancer," Rong Quan revealed.

"Oh," Fang Yi replied nonchalantly, cancer, whatever... wait, cancer? Crap, that’s major news!

Fang Yi finally reacted, shocked within himself. Rong Shuo had cancer?!

One of Moon City’s three great tycoons, Rong Shuo had cancer!

Fang Yi was astounded; he had received no news of this at all, and if it hadn’t been for Rong Quan’s admission, Fang Yi would have never known.

Seeing the sadness and anger on Rong Quan’s face, Fang Yi felt compelled to say, "Young Master Rong, my condolences."

"No!"

Rong Quan suddenly shouted in rage.

"Huh?"

"My father is biased, he’s biased!" Rong Quan said in a furious whisper.

"You mean to say..."

"He got cancer and actually wants to leave his fortune to that bastard Li Xuan! I’m his legitimate son, why, why would he leave his wealth to that bastard!"

What else could it be, because you’re a damn wastrel! Fang Yi muttered to himself. Rong Quan indulged in drugs and debauchery, his body totally hollowed out, basically a useless wreck. If Fang Yi had been Rong Shuo, with choices available now, he definitely wouldn’t leave his wealth to such a prodigal son.

Rong Shuo getting cancer was both good news and bad news for Fang Yi.

The good news was that Rong Shuo could finally kick the bucket, and without his care, Li Xuan would lose support, but the bad news was that Rong Shuo actually wanted to leave his wealth to Li Xuan?

Damn, that was really awkward.

Fang Yi’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, reflecting a deep thought. Hua Huiyue, by his side, saw him like this and unusually didn’t disturb him.

In fact, besides saying she wanted to have fun, Hua Huiyue followed Fang Yi here because she also wanted to see the capabilities of her son-in-law.

The capabilities of her son-in-law were undeniable. Initially daring to go alone to Sky Sword Mountain had already proved Fang Yi’s abilities, and abilities indeed equated to competence!

But Hua Huiyue really wanted to see what methods her son-in-law would come up with next. Would he back off or take it a step further?

"Young Master Rong, why not share your thoughts." Fang Yi spoke calmly.

"My thoughts?"

"Yes, what do you think, about your father, what are your thoughts?" Fang Yi said.

Hua Huiyue watched Fang Yi, her eyes showing a complex gleam. Her son-in-law seemed to have decided to be ruthless and decisive.

Rong Quan’s gaze in his eyes wavered uncertainly, now angry, now tender, and then sorrowful. Minutes later, Rong Quan seemed to have finally made up his mind. He clenched his fist and heavily punched the coffee table, causing the bottles and glasses to shake.

"I won’t accept this!" Rong Quan articulated through gritted teeth, his eyes bloodshot.

The corners of Fang Yi’s lips showcased a sinister smile, caught right by Hua Huiyue’s eyes.

"Since Young Master Rong won’t accept this, I happen to have an idea, but it depends on whether you’re willing to go through with it," Fang Yi said leisurely.

"Speak!" Rong Quan fixed his gaze on him.

"Young Master Rong, listen well..."

Ten minutes later, the conversation between the two ended, but the previously gloomy-faced Rong Quan now, had a complete smile on his face, returning to the arrogant and imperious demeanor of a wealthy second-generation.

"Come on, Fang Yi, let me toast you. Thanks for this strategy, I won’t forget what you’ve done!" Rong Quan raised his glass, his eyes exhilarated.

"Heh, no need to thank me, Young Master Rong, after all, we’re in the same boat," Fang Yi said with a smile, raising his glass as well.

Glasses clinked as a celebration.

In the following time, they each downed more than a dozen drinks. Hua Huiyue stood up to go to the bathroom, then Rong Quan swiftly sat next to Fang Yi and whispered, "Brother Fang, I want to tell you something."

After the scheme they had just plotted, Rong Quan had already considered Fang Yi a brother, thus the address.

"Speak freely," Fang Yi said.

"Brother Fang, how about you let me have this woman? Once I snatch the wealth from my dad, I’ll give you fifty million!" Rong Quan said, seemingly thirsting for more than just a drink.

Fang Yi had long known that Rong Quan was interested in Hua Huiyue, but was it possible? Even if Fang Yi were willing to sell her out, Hua Huiyue would definitely not agree. However, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to push the boat along with the current.

Fang Yi had an idea, feigning difficulty, "That won’t work..."

Rong Quan immediately responded, "There’s nothing that ’won’t work’. Brother Fang, just name your conditions!"

Damn, that’s exactly what I was waiting for you to say!
