Chapter 110: Chapter 0110: Lure the Disaster Eastward

The butler hurriedly reported the address and the ward number, and Ma Benyue called the driver over and went straight to the hospital.

After Ma Benyue left, the butler took out his cellphone and called Ma Gangjian again to inform him, which is why Ma Gangjian knew that his father was coming to the hospital.

A moment later, a tall and authoritative middle-aged man entered the ward, none other than the Ma Family’s Young Master, Ma Benyue.

The moment Ma Benyue entered the room, the atmosphere instantly turned cold; the Ma brothers cautiously glanced at their father, all appearing extremely fearful.

"If it weren’t for the police coming to my door today, I wouldn’t have known that both of you had ended up in the hospital. You brothers are really something. Tell me, what exactly happened?"

Ma Benyue asked in an angry voice as he entered the ward.

The two brothers were very scared, but facing their father, no one dared to lie, so they recounted the incident at Tianjiao High School from beginning to end.

Ma Benyue sneered, "You can’t even handle a high school student; you’re really something."

The Ma brothers dared not speak. The more they talked back, the more severe the scolding; that was just their father’s temper.

A short while later, Ma Benyue shouted to the driver at the door, "Wang Chao."

"Master."

The driver was a capable man in his thirties, who quickly walked in.

"Go find someone to issue a more serious injury report for Gangjian, then contact Butler Liu to handle it properly. Don’t let the police spot any flaws. Stall for time until the gun permit is ready. Understood?"

Ma Benyue instructed with full authority.

"Understood, Master."

The driver hurried out to contact the hospital. With the Ma Family’s current standing in Songlan, such a small matter was incredibly easy to handle.

As soon as Ma Benyue left, the butler followed right out and went directly to the security company! The advantage of being part of the Ma Family was that within the security company, some bodyguards were licensed to carry firearms. Getting a gun permit for Ma Gangjian was essentially a piece of cake. Half an hour later, the butler successfully obtained the gun permit, and under Director Chen’s guidance, the date was conveniently written just before the incident occurred.

"Director Chen, I really appreciate your help."

The butler thanked Director Chen with a smile.

"No problem, our law firm exclusively serves Brother Benyue. His affairs are my affairs. Now that we’ve got this gun permit, I’ll go with you to the police station. The case will naturally be reduced to a minor one."

Director Chen said with a smile.

"Thank you very much."

The butler quickly nodded.

In the office of the Xing Police Team, Lin Xue was called by a few colleagues to help take a statement. During the casual conversation, she found out that several detectives were handling the gun-related case from Tianjiao High School, which piqued her interest.

"Officer Zhou, has the suspect in the gun case been brought in yet?"

Lin Xue asked the older and amiable Officer Zhou.

The officer, who had just returned from visiting the Ma Family’s villa, had just sat down and said, "Brought in who? This case is just waiting to be dismissed."

"Really? Someone carried and used a gun to injure someone in a high school, and it can be dismissed?"

Lin Xue exclaimed in surprise.

"How can it not be? Someone has already come to notify us. They have a gun permit, and because the injuries are so severe, they’ve been allowed to recuperate outside of prison. So now, these powerful and influential people of the Ma Family can act with impunity."

Officer Zhou complained.

Hearing this, Lin Xue was immediately infuriated, but she also knew that the Ma Family in Songlan City was not easy to deal with. She could only wait for another opportunity to find evidence to convict them.

In the hospital room, after Ma Benyue had finished cursing about previous matters and was thinking about getting up to leave, he suddenly received a call from his subordinates. Instantly, his face changed, and he angrily asked, "Tell me, how could the demolition project in the shanty area be suspended? Who gave you the guts to do that? Do you have any idea how much money we lose for each day of work stoppage?"

Ma Gangqiang didn’t dare to speak. In front of his stern father, he had never been favored. He was inferior to Ma Gangjian in cultivation, and he often messed up in what he did. Thus, his status in the family was far below that of his older brother.

Seeing that his brother was silent again, Ma Gangjian sighed and said, "Dad, halting the demolition project was my idea. There was an unexpected incident, and we need to resolve it before proceeding."

"Hmph, you can’t even handle such a trivial matter, and yet you still consider yourselves scions of the Ma Family? This is truly letting the other Martial Arts Families laugh at us. I, Ma Benyue, have dominated all my life; how could I have fathered two good-for-nothing sons like you? You’re really going to be the death of me."

Ma Benyue was so angry he was jumping like thunder.

"Dad, actually, there’s nothing we could have done about it. It’s that high school student Tang Ming again. You see, I’m already in the hospital, and Gangqiang is simply no match for him. You wouldn’t want Gangqiang to end up lying here just like me, would you?"

Ma Gangjian also looked helpless and described Tang Ming once more, making him sound exceptionally formidable. Essentially, he said Tang Ming wasn’t easy to deal with and had a very peculiar background.

This made Ma Benyue furrow his brows and look puzzled. Any Martial Artist of extraordinary strength would definitely have an impressive background, which indeed would make them difficult to provoke; overstepping could possibly attract formidable enemies!

Because there were plenty of incidents where provoking the offspring of powerful Martial Arts Families or Sect descendants had led to the annihilation of entire families, Ma Benyue became cautious after hearing what Ma Gangjian said!

As for this Tang Ming, who repeatedly opposed the Ma Family, letting him off was impossible. But to deal with him also required strategy! After pondering for a while, he sneered and said,

"If we can’t make a move ourselves, we can borrow someone else’s hand."

"Dad, do you have a way to deal with Tang Ming?"

Ma Gangjian’s face lit up with joy, and he hurriedly asked.

"Indeed, there are ways. Since Tang Ming is powerful and likely has a deep background, we should not provoke him directly. We should use a more cunning approach—that’s what it means to move with discretion."

Ma Benyue stroked his chin, a few hints of a smile flickering in his eyes.

"Cunning approach?"

Ma Gangjian asked blankly, knowing that it’s best to use tactics where possible, but unfortunately, he currently had no such strategies available.

"You don’t know that in a few days, a powerful figure from an Ancient Martial Family will be coming from Wubei City. This person is an Eight-star Martial Artist who enjoys challenging others. He heard that the younger generation of the Ma Family in Songlan has a promising talent, so he’s very interested and wants to come and challenge them."

Ma Benyue said with a smile

"Eight-star Martial Artist."

Ma Gangjian was startled, his face turned pale, and he murmured involuntarily, "With my strength, let alone being injured now, even if I wasn’t injured, I wouldn’t be his match. I’m only a Four-star Martial Artist after all."

"Heh heh."

Ma Benyue sneered, "Of course, you’re no match for that person. But what I mean by cunning is to let that kid run into Tang Ming. It’s like drawing trouble away to the east. Once he defeats or injures Tang Ming, we can then make a move. Do you think that little Tang Ming will have a way out then?"
