Chapter 434 - 432: Despicable Mission
Li Kai and Lin Yu were led away because Chen Tianlong suspected that these two people were not just for show, but each had their own tasks. So, as long as he could get the two out of the way and capture them, no one would carry out the following tasks, naturally activating the inside line.
Initially, Chen Tianlong did not know that Mrs. Hong was the insider; he only knew that there must be one in the company and one within the Lin Family.
After all, if there was only an insider within Lin Group, the happenings at home couldn’t be so well understood by the other side, so the only possibility was that there was an insider at home as well.
Unfortunately, these two informants have quite a high professional ethic; no matter how they were threatened, they refused to reveal the mastermind.
Chen Tianlong instructed Zhao Bing that if they didn’t speak, then it doesn’t matter; after all, the goal has been achieved, and if you push too hard, you might drive people mad and end up doing more harm than good.
After the matter calmed down, the entire South Sea City was very quiet these days, with the Xu Family facing the crisis of bankruptcy and unable to avoid seeking help from other families.
Naturally, their target was the Mo Family; after all, Mo Shaoyun was involved in this matter, and to put it plainly, the two families were allies.
However, the current head of the Mo Family is Xu Kan, and Hao Dahai knows Xu Kan’s prowess, so he can only temporarily back off. But Master Hao threatened that if the Mo Family didn’t help them through the economic crisis, they would sever the alliance with the Mo Family.
Therefore, during this period, the relationship between the Wu and Xu Families was extremely tense.
Hao Shuai personally killed three of his gang’s capable members and was heartbroken.
However, wicked people never admit their mistakes; they always blame others, so Hao Shuai’s conspiracy resurfaces. The Celestial Wolf Gang directed him to await further instructions, refraining from going head-to-head against Chen Tianlong for now but instead shift the target.
This time, he consulted with Xu Wei, evidently regarding what Hao Shuai considered minor matters, while for significant issues, he would directly approach Zhou Qianghan.
"Boss, why did you call me?" Xu Wei saw the Lin Family incident had just passed and thought they should be calm by now, but seeing Hao Shuai seeking him out, there must be a specific reason.
"I have a task for you. Gather some brothers and act this afternoon, grab Wu Mengting and take her to the small grove." Hao Shuai said with a cold smile.
"Huh? Young Master Hao, what are you planning?"
Xu Wei was suddenly startled. He knew Wu Mengting well; she was Chen Tianlong’s girlfriend. Not long ago, Chen Tianlong’s performance had left him in fear, and now to cause trouble for his girlfriend didn’t seem very appropriate.
"Hehe, what can you do taking a girl to the small grove?"
Hao Shuai didn’t specify, but his mischievous expression said it all.
"Ah... Young Master Hao, do you really want to do this?"
Xu Wei still had some concerns; if this matter escalated, not only would the school not let them off, but even Chen Tianlong would come after them.
"Humph, let him be arrogant; if we don’t dampen that kid’s spirit a bit, how will we continue to have a foothold in South Sea City?"
"That’s true, but... Young Master Hao, couldn’t there be another way? Wu Mengting seems to be a good student, I think..."
"Damn it, are you feeling sorry for her? No matter how good she is, she belongs to Chen Tianlong; why do you care? According to my plan, call three or five people, and when she returns home over the weekend, drag her to the small grove, and the rest is up to them."
Although Hao Shuai felt this was a shame, he wasn’t interested in girls touched by Chen Tianlong, so he let those brothers from the society enjoy, and they would later work for him.
In Hao Shuai’s view, Wu Mengting’s family was poor and lousy; even if something happened, throwing some money at her father would probably seal his mouth.
If not, then threaten him with violence; let’s see what he dares to do?
Xu Wei had no choice. After taking a deep breath, he reluctantly nodded. He was unwilling to do this, mainly because Wu Mengting was indeed a nice girl, harmless to people or animals.
Secondly, she was Chen Tianlong’s girlfriend, and if something happened, he definitely wouldn’t let it slide. If they were found to be behind it, wouldn’t he come to kill?
But since the boss ordered it, he couldn’t disobey.
Soon it was Friday afternoon, and Wu Mengting had gone off-campus with her dorm mates at noon. When passing a cake shop, she couldn’t help but go inside and buy a small red bean-flavored cake.
At that time, Tang Qiqi thought she bought it to eat in the afternoon, but didn’t expect, after class, she turned around.
"Chen Tianlong, I bought this little cake outside; have some if you’re hungry." Wu Mengting said sweetly, smiling.
"Haha, thank you, Mengting."
Chen Tianlong was clearly touched. If not for the crowd, he would have embraced Wu Mengting for a kiss.
"Oh dear, what are you saying? I haven’t been a very competent girlfriend; I haven’t given you anything."
Wu Mengting knew her family was poor, so apart from small things like this, she really couldn’t provide anything else. Moreover, Chen Tianlong seemed not to lack anything, so she didn’t know what to give usually.
"Hehe, I’m really moved, how about a kiss?"
"You bad guy, there are classmates here."
Wu Mengting didn’t refuse but was worried about the bad impression; suddenly she remembered something and said urgently: "It’s Friday, I’ll head home after I finish my homework this afternoon."
"Oh, okay." Chen Tianlong said with a faint smile.
After speaking, Chen Tianlong joyfully ate the cake Wu Mengting gave him in front of the whole class.
At dusk, Wu Mengting was the last to leave the classroom. She had told Chen Tianlong she would go home, so after class, Chen Tianlong went to play ball with his dorm mate Zhao Lei.
Wu Mengting walked out of the school alone, while at this moment, someone behind her took out a phone and dialed a number; this person was Xu Wei, calling those pre-arranged people to inform them about the general situation.
Once all preparations were ready, Xu Wei left the school early to dissociate himself from the matter and pretended to be going home.
In fact, he went to the Xu Family to find Hao Shuai. The two went to a KTV, invited several girls, sang happily, and waited for news from the other side.
Wu Mengting leisurely rode her bicycle and slowly headed home.
The school wasn’t far from the reconstruction site; if she took a bus, it would be just over ten minutes. But because her family was not well-off, she saved money by riding a bicycle every week to go home, then rode back to school around five on Sunday afternoon.
Of course, riding a bicycle took about half an hour or so, but since there was nothing urgent, she was lazy about keeping track of time.
The sun set in the west, a patch of scattered clouds hung high in the sky, the sky still dazzlingly blue, birds flew happily, and Wu Mengting looked at the horizon, smiled sweetly, pedaled hard, and started to speed up.
Passing through the back gate snack street, a familiar figure approached, with big glasses looking very cute.
"Mengting, why are you heading home so late, where’s Chen Tianlong, why isn’t he sending you?" Yang Fan ran into Wu Mengting and asked kindly.
