They walked down the stairs. It was not that Jun Mo Xie did not want to explain his plans here, but his senses told him that someone was spying on him in this building. This feeling made him very uncomfortable. Thus, he had suggested going to the ‘quiet’ Red Joy Establishment.
After Jun Mo Xie and Tang Yuan had left the building, a voice sounded out within a private lounge in the building. “Brother Li, they have already left. What do you see?”
A gentle voice replied back.
“This Tang Yuan has some knowledge, but that is only what he has going for. He far too reckless. Even if someone like him harbors any ill intentions towards us, he would definitely charge to us in the open. Thus… he is of no concern. As for Jun Mo Xie… His actions have been different from what I have heard about him.” There was a sense of doubt in his tone.
“Oh? According to Brother Li… there is something wrong with that little Jun brat?”
The first voice replied in a doubtful voice.
“However, this brat seemed to be the same frivolous and greedy person. You can see it just now, he was even extorting Qin Hu to that extent. This brat’s appetite is actually quite something. Even I did not expect that he would ask for all of the casinos owned by the Northern City Clan. Haha… What a load of nonsense! Is he not afraid of choking to death?”
“There are some matters that you are not aware of. This is not the only time that Jun Mo Xie had acted strangely. Something is definitely not right. Get Li Yan to handle this matter, tell him to inform Qin Hu to go to Jun Mo Xie tomorrow afternoon. Qin Hu must note down every single word said by Jun Mo Xie, without missing a single word. After that, have it be sent to me orderly. I have a need to analyze this matter properly.”
This second person mused as his fingers lightly tapped the table. Recalling Jun Mo Xie’s actions earlier, he shook his head.
From the way he talks about the way he acts, he is obviously just a typical debauchee, why is it that I am feeling something strange about it? Am I being too sensitive? No! It is better to be safe than sorry!
“In the next few days, try to find an excuse to meet Jun Mo Xie,” the ‘Brother Li’ slowly said.
“There have been reports stating that this brat has been spending the past few days undergoing intense training at home. There have already been quite a few of these reports, making me feel apprehensive. I want to see if it is true or not.”
“I? You want me to go see Jun Mo Xie?” The other person replied in a reluctant tone. His tone seemed to imply that the act of meeting Jun Mo Xie was a very shameful one. A extremely shameful thing.
“You are still so arrogant! This arrogance will be your undoing,”
The ‘Brother Li’ raised his head, his features delicate. He was none other than Li You Ran. Even though those words were spoken lightly, the other person suddenly broke out in cold sweat.
“I understand, I will return to make the arrangements.”
“Good, when that happens, I will be around to observe. I will see just what this Jun Mo Xie is planning,” Li You Ran lightly said.
“By the way, Brother Li, I received news that the Second may be making a move these few days; it seems he is already becoming impatient. However, I am unsure if his target is the Third or Princess Ling Meng. Our source is being very cautious; we are unable to gather more news…”
“Oh?” Li You Ran gave out a sigh with a gentle voice. Slowly lowering his voice, he replied. “The Second is quite the fool. Making a move now would be his own undoing. En… For now, we shall only observe at the sidelines. Not doing anything would be the best action for now.”
“But, Princess Ling Meng is the one you fancy…” The other person seemed fearful of continuing his sentence.
“No matter, in the end, she is but a woman. If her life is the price I have to pay to cause a river of blood to flow from the First, Second and Third, then I would gladly wish for it,”
Li You Ran gently replied as he maintained a calm demeanor, though an absolute aura of coldness seeped out from him.
“In the face of history, a mere woman… is of no concern!”
As the words were spoken, the lounge area became deadly silent.
On the road…
Jun Mo Xie was seated as far as possible from Tang Yuan within the carriage, trying hard to maintain himself. Even for someone who was once the King of Assassins, enduring the stench of fat coming from Fatty Tang’s body was no easy feat, Jun Mo Xie felt as though he may not be able to hold on.
Jun Mo Xie opened the carriage curtains to let the air in. “Fatty Tang, from what you have told me, it seems like you have been suffering quite a bit at home.”
Tang Yuan who originally looked enthusiastic slumped down. He waved his hand as he feebly replied.
“Third Young Master, if you consider yourself my brother then do not bring this up again. Once I think about it, I get the urge to just hang myself. How could I be so unlucky? Have you ever seen people being hit by such a situation? But why is it that this keeps happening to me again and again? Third Young Master, I really am… unlucky!”
“Then, do you want to rid yourself of this problematic situation?” Jun Mo Xie gave out a sinister laughter, tempting Tang Yuan.
“Of course I want, why would I not want? Only a real bastard would not want to! But, this is not a matter that can be easily resolved!” Tang Yuan scratched his head, his expression twisted.
“Don’t say things like easy or difficult. All I am asking is whether you want to rid yourself of this miserable life!” Jun Mo Xie asked, as he led the “fish” towards the bait, his eyes staring at Fatty Tang!
“I want, I really want!” Tang Yuan burst out with excitement. “Third Young Master, could it be you have a plan?”
“I do not have many plans, but I do have a few tricks. And any of these tricks will be enough for you to escape from your current predicament. Are you interested?” Jun Mo Xie chuckled as he shook his legs.
“I am interested! … Third Young Master! My dear brother! Brother Jun! Uncle Jun! Ancestor! … Please tell me quickly, I really cannot take any more of this,”
At this moment, Tang Yuan felt as though he had grasped onto a life-saving rope, he quickly became excited, panting for breath and almost bursting into tears.
“Today, we saw how arrogant that Northern City Clan was, did we not? In addition, they also made you feel very unhappy, did they not?” Jun Mo Xie mentioned while laughing lightly.
“Unhappy? Those two sons of bitches made me really vexed! If not for the problem back at home, I would have already exterminated them! I will not even bother to meet him when they deliver the money tomorrow!” Tang Yuan shook his head. “Third Young Master, quick tell me what your plan is. Why did you bring up this two rubbish for?”
“Is this not a method? Tang Yuan, I am sure that not many people have known that something was stolen from your house right?” Jun Mo Xie smiled.
“There were many who had known that our house had been robbed! It is normal to have items get stolen, but the info of what was actually stolen is a completely different thing. If people were to find out that a Ninth level Xuan Core was stolen from our house, then my family would become a laughing stock for generations to come. Externally, we only announced that we are chasing after some runaway slaves and enemies,” Tang Yuan mumbled. He was becoming confused as to what kind of solution Jun Mo Xie was trying to give him.
“But if my guess is correct, Qin Hu is aware of all of that,” Jun Mo Xie shook his legs again. “You may have noticed earlier, but when you mentioned that something was stolen from your Tang Family, Qin Hu’s became flustered, his body seemingly breaking out in cold sweat.” In truth, there was only a slight change in Qin Hu’s eyes whereas his face showed no change. As for the sweat, that was non-existent. However, Fatty Tang was not paying any attention and could no longer remember.
“You mean… Qin Hu is connected to this matter?” Tang Yuan instantly stood up, his body straight, his small eyes moving in circles. What Jun Mo Xie had just said was too important.
Any mistakes were simply unacceptable. If this was just an ordinary thing, then Tang Yuan would easily believe in whatever the Young Master Jun said.
“Fatty, you are overthinking things. His connection to this matter does not matter at all, what matters is whether you think that he is connected to it. All you have to do is go back and tell your grandfather that Qin Hu and the Northern City Clan might be connected to this matter. That way, no matter what happens, regardless of whether Northern City Clan has any connection with this matter, the miserable situation that you are in will be lessened by quite a bit.”
Jun Mo Xie laughed sinisterly.
“Besides, we are not accusing him of no reason. That flustered look on his face back then was certainly real. If he was not guilty, why would he show such a face?”
“But if my grandfather finds that out… if Qin Hu was not involved, then wouldn’t I just end up in hotter soup?” Tang Yuan hesitated.
