Chapter 223 - 223 223 Wanting to Collaborate Again

223: Chapter 223 Wanting to Collaborate Again 223: Chapter 223 Wanting to Collaborate Again Ouyang Xiu believed what Xiang Yu had said.

Since Xiang Yu mentioned that Ouyang Ke was about to be finished, it must be true.

What they needed to do now was wait.

Currently, Mo Aiguo was waging a fierce political struggle.

The main characters in this struggle were actually Mo Aiguo and the Mayor, Zheng Yiguang; everyone else was just cannon fodder.

On the surface, the two appeared to be cordial, but in reality, they were both secretly employing tactics.

Mo Aiguo, however, was clearly more successful.

For one, he was the attacker and had prepared for all aspects.

Furthermore, he had powerful connections from above supporting him.

Even more importantly, he was supported by the evidence provided by Xiang Yu.

Whenever he wanted to take action against someone, Xiang Yu would supply the evidence.

With irrefutable proof, no matter how clever your methods or how strong your backers, you were doomed.

The war raged on intensely, but those outside of the circle had no clue, and life went on as usual.

The media were excluded from the entire process.

Some media who received the news and wanted to expose some of these events were quickly suppressed by the relevant departments with strong measures.

The war lasted for a week, ultimately concluding with a complete victory for Mo Aiguo.

After a thunderous reshuffling, Mo Aiguo had completely seized power, as some departments of authority were now full of his people.

During this time, Xiang Yu and his cohorts were not idle; they continued to investigate the Japanese personnel.

However, these Japanese seemed to vanish after planting a bomb in Xiang Yu’s car and hadn’t reappeared since.

Xiang Yu had no leads whatsoever.

Continuing the investigation blindly would only waste time.

Eventually, Xiang Yu decided to seek a breakthrough with Ouyang Ke.

At noon, Xiang Yu and Xiao Xuan went to Ouyang Ke’s office, but he wasn’t there.

With the significant changes in the political scene over the week, Ouyang Ke had surely noticed them.

His backers had been falling from grace one by one, and what he needed to do now was to rebuild relationships; a long and complicated process.

Sitting in Ouyang Ke’s office, Xiang Yu made a phone call to him.

Ouyang Ke wasn’t happy to see the call from Xiang Yu.

He hadn’t had the chance to settle accounts with Xiang Yu, but now Xiang Yu had come to him instead.

“Get to the point if you have something to say,” said Ouyang Ke gruffly.

“Mr.

Ouyang, that’s not really befitting of your status.

So, have you been missing me lately?” Xiang Yu said with a smile.

“Hmph, Xiang Yu, you’re becoming more and more complacent.

But don’t get ahead of yourself; there will be a day when you’ll cry,” said Ouyang Ke.

Ouyang Ke had planned to give Xiang Yu a good lesson, but the sudden upheavals in the political world caught him off guard, which delayed dealing with Xiang Yu.

“I’ve grown accustomed to being complacent, and I can’t change that so quickly,” Xiang Yu said with a laugh.

“I’m at your office right now.

You’d better come over soon.” Xiang Yu hung up after speaking.

Ouyang Ke had just arrived downstairs when he heard that Xiang Yu was upstairs.

He quickly walked up and entered his office within a few minutes.

“Xiang Yu, you’ve got some nerve.

I didn’t come looking for you, but here you are, delivering yourself to my doorstep,” boomed Ouyang Ke as he entered the office.

“You came back so quickly; it seems Mr.

Ouyang still takes me seriously.

I’m a bit touched,” Xiang Yu said with a laugh.

Seeing Xiang Yu’s nonchalant demeanor, Ouyang Ke was so enraged that he was practically gnashing his teeth.

He really wanted to slap Xiang Yu, but as a well-known businessman, he wouldn’t do such a thing.

“Just spit it out if you have something to say.

I don’t have time to waste with you.

Get on with it and leave,” Ouyang Ke said, annoyed.

“I just came to catch up with you.

I’ve been missing you these past few days and wanted to make sure you were still alive,” said Xiang Yu.

“You…

if there’s nothing else, get out,” Ouyang Ke said, his temper rising.

“Alright then.

Today, I came to make a deal with you,” Xiang Yu finally sat up straight, his face turning serious.

“Make a deal with me?

Dream on.

As if I would ever make another deal with a dishonest person like you.

Remember my words, Xiang Yu.

If I ever have any dealings with you again in this lifetime, then I, Ouyang Ke, am not a human being,” Ouyang Ke stated bluntly.

Last time, he thought he had struck a great deal with Xiang Yu, selling a piece of land for 2.5 billion.

However, Xiang Yu had tricked him, and he had decided that once he was done with his current business, he would definitely get rid of Xiang Yu.

“Mr.

Ouyang, don’t be so absolute.

You’re rushing to refuse without even knowing what kind of deal I’m proposing—isn’t that a bit inappropriate?” Xiang Yu shook his head.

“Inappropriate?

Hmph!

With a person like you, there’s no consideration for appropriateness.

Have you finished?

If so, get out.

I have things to do,” said Ouyang Ke, growing impatient.

“To avoid any regrets, let me just say it,” Xiang Yu coughed, then continued, “Lately, I’ve been very interested in those Japanese.

I assume Mr.

Ouyang has had dealings with them.

So, if you let me contact them, as a condition, I will spare your life—how about that?”

Ouyang Ke was stunned by the proposal, which he could hardly classify as a deal.

He was frozen for a good two seconds before he burst into laughter and looked at Xiang Yu as if to say, “You’re such an idiot.”

“You’re saying, as a condition, you would spare my life?” Ouyang Ke wanted to make sure he hadn’t misheard, then repeated what he said.

Xiang Yu ignored his laughter, simply nodding in confirmation, “Yes, that’s right.

You tell me their whereabouts and how to contact them, and I’ll spare your life.

It’s fair for both sides.”

Ouyang Ke was completely thrown off by Xiang Yu’s words.

In his eyes, Xiang Yu was nothing more than a small-time thug at best, perhaps the owner of a minor logistics company.

He had once suspected that Xiang Yu might be the son of some reclusive, powerful family, but he had now concluded that Xiang Yu was just a loser.

He was already planning to get rid of this loser when he had time.

Little did he expect the loser to come to him, offering to spare his life, which was the biggest joke he’d ever heard.

Ouyang Ke laughed out loud, pointing at Xiang Yu and at a loss for words.

Eventually, he sighed and said, “You’d better go back and cherish the little time you have left.

Who knows, you might die in a car accident any day now.”

“So, you’re not willing to cooperate?” Xiang Yu looked directly at Ouyang Ke.

“Who would want to make a deal with you?

Anybody who would, would be a fool, which I am clearly not,” Ouyang Ke said as he lay back in the executive chair, smirking at Xiang Yu.

“Well then, I wanted to give you a chance.

Since you can’t seem to grasp that, don’t blame me.

I hope you cherish your current time, because who knows, you might be the one to die in a car accident any day now.” Xiang Yu stood up and walked towards the door.

Ouyang Ke just snorted, then reached for his phone and made a call…
