138: The Ye family's plan

Qin Shou held his breath, pressed against the corner of the wall, and stared at the two, who walked into a private room in a corner.

Qin Shou knew that Gu Ling was at the Xuan Rank Initial Stage of strength.

And from the condition of these two, it seemed that the big man among them was in charge.

Qin Shou guessed that the big man's strength was probably no lower than Gu Ling's.

He was only a Half-step Profound Rank, not yet truly stepping into the threshold of the Xuan Rank Initial Stage.

If he were discovered by these two, he would probably not fare well, so Qin Shou was extremely careful.

Qin Shou had clearly heard what the big man with a scar on his face said and knew that his plan should have succeeded; Ye Wuhuan was most likely dead.

And these two should have been sent by the Ye family for revenge.

Qin Shou also heard the name Black Liu, and only then did he remember that he had previously crippled Liu Haiyuan, who had harassed Xu Nanqin, and Liu Haiyuan had apparently said his father was Black Liu, the boss of the City's underground world.

Qin Shou thought to himself, 'This is too damn coincidental.' He used Black Liu's subordinates to kill Ye Wuhuan, and then today he first ran into Black Liu's son, whom he crippled, and now he runs into people from the Ye family looking for Black Liu for revenge.

Qin Shou knew in his heart that although Ye Wuhuan's death was not overtly related to him, everyone at the banquet that day had seen his conflict with Ye Wuhuan.

Qin Shou guessed that the higher-ups of the Ye family would definitely be keeping an eye on him.

A wealthy family like the Ye family, to ensure no one slipped through their net, would absolutely not mind crushing a small ant like him.

On the other hand, even if the Ye family truly investigated Bai Junchen, they would probably have to consider his identity.

Therefore, in Qin Shou's view, neither Black Liu nor the Ye family would likely let him off easily.

These two from the Ye family, after dealing with Black Liu, would probably immediately turn their attention to him.

Thinking of this, Qin Shou decided to secretly listen to what these two were planning.

Since these two were here to kill Black Liu, perhaps he could make good use of the situation and benefit from the struggle between the two.

Qin Shou looked around and found that the door to the private room next to theirs was ajar, and there was no one inside.

Qin Shou immediately tiptoed and secretly slipped into the adjacent private room, then gently closed the door and pressed his ear against the wall to eavesdrop.

"Gu Ling, after we've eaten and drunk our fill, at twelve o'clock tonight, we'll directly sneak into Black Liu's residence.

However, the master instructed that this Black Liu has some connections and business dealings with my Ye family, so we should first clarify the whole story.

If Black Liu is truly unaware, then let him go, but Zhang Biao and Liu San, his subordinates, must die.

After this matter is handled, we will then go trouble The one surnamed Qin."

As soon as Qin Shou pressed his ear against the wall, he heard the big man's deep, resonant voice, with a hint of chill in his tone.

After hearing the big man's words, Qin Shou sneered, thinking to himself that his guess was indeed correct; the Ye family was indeed targeting him.

Fortunately, he was lucky enough to run into these two.

If he had rashly started a fight with these two, he, a Half-step Profound Rank, would probably suffer a great loss.

Actually, what Qin Shou didn't know was that his incredible luck in running into these two was due to him having seized Ye Wuhuan's fortune.

Qin Shou didn't hear much more information from the rest of their conversation.

Fearing that eavesdropping for too long would lead to discovery, Qin Shou quietly left the private room and returned to his own.

When Qin Shou returned, Yang Lu was already back.

Qin Shou felt a bit awkward, so he didn't even look at Yang Lu.

"Lulu, when is your boyfriend coming?"

As soon as Qin Shou sat down, he heard Liu Wen next to him ask Yang Lu.

"What, is your boyfriend coming?"

Qin Shou acted as if nothing had happened outside the restroom earlier, asking Yang Lu nonchalantly.

"Soon, he's already on his way.

My boyfriend is the owner of this Zuiyue Tower.

He's already informed the manager here; this meal today is free, on him."

Yang Lu saw Qin Shou's feigned indifference, and her heart grew even more resentful.

Therefore, when she spoke, she deliberately emphasized the 'free' part of the meal today, just wanting to show off in front of Xu Nanqin and Qin Shou.

Sure enough, as soon as Yang Lu finished speaking, the expressions on the faces of Guo Gang, Qin Shou, and Feng Meimei were all a bit strange.

Seeing Qin Shou and the others' reactions, Yang Lu felt very pleased, thinking, 'Hmph!

Weren't you acting high and mighty just now, ignoring This Young Miss outside the restroom?

Now you know This Young Miss's capabilities, don't you!

What's with the arrogance, just because you know Xu Sishi, is that so great!

Isn't he just a nouveau riche who made a little money?

Just wait until my boyfriend, a true 'old money' person, arrives; I'll show you up.'

"I say, sis, is your boyfriend really the owner of this Zuiyue Tower?" Guo Gang couldn't help but ask.

"That's right!

My boyfriend told me himself, and he's brought me here to eat several times.

The lobby manager here all knows my boyfriend, so there's no mistake.

What, do you want to meet him?"

Yang Lu thought Guo Gang was intimidated by her boyfriend being the owner of Zuiyue Tower and wanted to use this opportunity to curry favor with her boyfriend, so she immediately nodded proudly.

"Haha, nothing, just asking." Guo Gang laughed awkwardly and exchanged glances with Qin Shou.

Both of them had somewhat embarrassed expressions, thinking simultaneously, 'Damn it, it can't be that coincidental.'

Sure enough, just as Yang Lu finished speaking, someone knocked on the door from outside.

Yang Lu immediately looked excited.

"It must be my boyfriend."

She immediately called out loudly towards the door, "Come in yourself."

The private room door was pushed open from the outside, and everyone saw a man with a greasy, powdered face, wearing a large gold chain and a pink plaid suit, dressed as gaudily as possible, appear in their sight.

This outfit practically screamed "nouveau riche" on his face.

Yang Lu saw her boyfriend's showy yet tacky attire, and her face instantly darkened.

She immediately wanted to pretend not to know him.

She thought, 'Damn it, is this some Kuaishou streamer doing a live broadcast here!'

"I say, Lulu! Is this your 'old money' rich boyfriend?"

Liu Wen, beside her, saw Zhang Wei's attire and deliberately raised her voice, covering her mouth, barely suppressing her laughter.

"Ah—! This—!"

Yang Lu felt so awkward she wanted to dig a hole and crawl into it.

She had boasted countless times to her roommates that her boyfriend was a legitimate Second-generation rich, 'old money' who had been raised wealthy since childhood.

Who would have thought he could be so tacky today.

Actually, she couldn't entirely blame Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei knew what kind of woman his girlfriend was—she loved to show off.

So, to deliberately "flaunt his wealth," Zhang Wei specifically chose such a flashy outfit and bought a genuine, non-floating large gold chain.

Who would have thought that too much of a good thing could backfire, making him a laughingstock instead.
