Chapter 120 Borrowing a Knife to Kill Someone
After Mu Qingrong had made the first call to Zhao Chengshuang, she anxiously await Zhao Chengshuang's return call.
Half an hour later, Zhao Chengshuang finally returned the call. However, the call did not bear good news, but simply recounted the situation there, including the fact that Ye Qing had been arrested.
Upon hearing this, the women instantly panicked. With so many dead or injured, if it were all blamed on Ye Qing, he was surely doomed!
"How could this happen, how could this happen?" Fang Tingyun murmured incessantly.
"There won't be a problem! There won't be a problem!" Mu Qingrong also murmured softly to herself.
Frowning, Mo Xiang said, "Although Ye Qing usually goes too far, he wouldn't plant that many bombs, right? He wouldn't kill so many people at once!"
Sitting on the sofa, Old Wang Ba remained silent and expressionless. After a long time, he suddenly stood up and ran into Ye Qing's room.
Fortunately, at that moment, all the women were preoccupied with worrying about Ye Qing, so no one paid any attention to him.
In the room, Old Wang Ba pulled out a mobile phone from his body and also a note.
The note was given to him by Ye Qing; it had a number on it from Green Wolf to Ye Qing. Green Wolf had said that if Ye Qing ever ran into trouble in Shenchuan City, he could call this number at any time for assistance.
Ye Qing did not recognize this number, but Old Wang Ba did. Old Wang Ba was very aware of the influence the owner of this number wielded in Shenchuan City. And it wasn't just Shenchuan City; in the entire province, he wielded great power! The r.e-f.e.re!n#c&e. ver*s+io%n. of this c&hap@ter^ is on M*V-*LE.M%PYR.
When Old Wang Ba received this note from Ye Qing the last time, he was truly taken aback. However, he did not tell Ye Qing about the circumstances of this phone number. But ever since then, his conviction that Ye Qing would definitely be no ordinary person in the future had become even stronger.
After all, just a word from the owner of this number would be enough for Ye Qing to do as he pleased in Shenchuan City!
Old Wang Ba, holding the mobile phone, took a deep breath, pondered the wording in his mind over and over, and then finally dialed the number with bated breath.
The phone rang three times before being answered, and a deep voice came from the other end, "Hello!"
"Uh, you... you... hello..." The words that Old Wang Ba had pondered over several times crumbled at that moment, and his voice trembled.
"What's the matter!" The person on the other end didn't even ask who Old Wang Ba was but went straight to the point. Because this phone number was not known to many, those who called were the most crucial people, the ones he had to help!
"I... I got this number from Green Wolf, he said if there's any trouble, I could... could call this number..." Old Wang Ba stuttered.
"What's the matter?"
"I'm currently in Shenchuan City, and there's been... there's been a bit of an incident here..." Taking a deep breath, Old Wang Ba slowly recounted the events of the evening.
The person on the other end of the phone pondered for a moment and then asked, "The Ye Qing you're talking about, is he Green Wolf's team leader?"
"You know him?" Old Wang Ba was surprised.
"Green Wolf specifically called to inform me, so I'm somewhat familiar with him. The bombs were definitely not set by him?"
Old Wang Ba replied anxiously, "Definitely not him, you could even ask Green Wolf. Ye Qing is absolutely not the person who would plant bombs!"
"Then there's no problem. By tomorrow morning, he can go back."
Old Wang Ba was overjoyed and kept saying, "Thank... thank you so much..."
"Is there anything else?"
Old Wang Ba quickly said, "No... there's nothing else..."
The person on the other end hung up directly, leaving Old Wang Ba sitting on Ye Qing's bed, emotionally stirred.
What is called power? This is called power. One word and by tomorrow morning, he can return.
In Shenchuan City, how many people can utter such a phrase?
At the same time, Li Lianshan had just left the North Ring area and returned to his own territory when he received a call from Scarred Yang.
"Eldest Brother, there's trouble. That woman got taken away by a few policemen!"
"The police took her away?" Li Lianshan frowned slightly and said, "What's so bad about that? Doesn't that mean you guys don't have to rescue her anymore?"
"It's not like that. Those... those few policemen, they killed the people guarding the girl..." Scarred Yang paused and spoke in a low voice, "I suspect there's something wrong with these policemen!"
"What!" Li Lianshan sat up hurriedly, asking anxiously, "Where are they now?"
Scarface said, "They just left, I'm following them!"
Li Lianshan said anxiously, "Damn it, find a way to rescue that woman, don't let them take her away!"
Scarface whispered, "Eldest Brother, they have guns..."
Li Lianshan burst out in rage, "I fuck your ancestors, if you're afraid of dying, then get lost immediately, I'll go myself!"
A flush of embarrassment crossed Scarface's face as he said, "Eldest Brother, don't worry, I'll risk my life to rescue her!"
Li Lianshan hung up the call, but he felt uneasy. In a hurry, he made another call to Old Lin.
"Old Lin, call Zhao Chengshuang again and tell him to find a way to save a girl named Huo Pingping. Damn, I suspect someone wants to kill that girl to silence her!"
"Is that so? Is the situation that serious? Don't worry, I'll call him right away!"
After putting down his phone, a cold sneer flickered across Old Lin's face as he turned to the middle-aged man sitting beside him and said softly, "Boss Yang, wasn't I right? It looks like Li Lianshan is preparing to go against you!"
The middle-aged man named Yang Shitao, who was Yang Wei's father, had an icy expression and a sinister glint in his eyes. He spoke in a heavy tone, "No matter what, kill that woman first. My son may be dead, but I can't let his reputation be tarnished. Don't let people think he was bullying a weak woman!"
"You're absolutely right, Boss Yang!" Old Lin said with a faint smile and continued, "Moreover, if this Huo Pingping is out of the picture, the situation will be even better. Without evidence that Young Master Wei took hostages, Ye Qing's fight and kill at the North Ring tonight will have not the slightest claim of self-defense. Once it goes to court, he's as good as dead!"
"I don't care about that, the last thing I want is for Ye to die in court, I must kill him with my own hands!" said Yang Shitao in a stern voice. "First, get rid of the girl's body and traces, no matter what, my son's reputation cannot be damaged!"
"No problem, leave it to me!" Old Lin nodded and said, "Those cops have already been bought off by me. They will take the girl to the seashore, finish her off, and then wrap some stones around her body to sink it to the bottom of the sea. Nobody will ever find her. This person will vanish from the world forever. I've done this kind of job before and never failed. Hahaha..."
Yang Shitao gave Old Lin a glance and said, "It seems that this is how you disposed of those beggars in the past."
Old Lin, looking smug, said, "Of course. Boss Yang, have you ever known me to be discovered in all this time?"
Yang Shitao slowly nodded and instructed, "Make this clean, and leave no trace!"
"No problem!" Old Lin promised, chuckling. "However, Ye has a really good relationship with Zhao Chengshuang. I reckon that eight or nine out of ten, Zhao Chengshuang will try to help him. Boss Yang, the Zhao Family has significant influence in Shenchuan City, I'm afraid that..."
Yang Shitao slammed a fist on the table next to him, interjected angrily, "Hmph, no matter how powerful the Zhao Family is, they can't cover the sky with one hand in Shenchuan City. This time, even if it costs me this old life, I must avenge my son!"
Pleased, Old Lin said, "Since you're so determined, Boss Yang, leave these matters to me. But as for the Zhao Family, you might have to deal with them yourself."
Yang Shitao waved his hand and said, "Just do your part well; I have my own approach for the Zhao Family."
Old Lin didn't say anything more and left the room with a faint smile. As he turned at the door, a hint of mocking coldness flashed across his face.
After receiving Li Lianshan's call, Old Lin did not contact Zhao Chengshuang; instead, he sought out Yang Shitao immediately and exaggerated the situation at the North Ring to him. He knew it was challenging to take on Ye Qing with his own strength, so he wanted to use Yang Shitao's knife. Moreover, this time he planned to take down Li Lianshan in one fell swoop and take over his business.
Yang Shitao, alone in the room, had a cold expression. His only son's death had left him in agony, and he was desperate to tear Ye Qing limb from limb. He was not a man prone to high-profile behavior, but that night, he acted without regard for the consequences. His son's death had extinguished all his hopes, and he was determined to avenge his son, even if it meant mutual destruction.
After watching Old Lin and the others walk away, someone bent over and whispered to Yang Shitao, "Boss, I think Old Lin has a treacherous heart. He clearly intends to use you to deal with Ye!"
Yang Shitao slowly lifted his head, silent for a moment, then said in a soft voice, "Many overestimate their own importance; he's just one among them."
The person glanced at Yang Shitao but said nothing further. He knew that Yang Shitao had his own views on all matters. Having dominated the business world for so many years, if he could be used by a few words from Old Lin, how would he ever have reached his current position?
Old Lin thought he was using Yang Shitao as his knife, but in reality, it was he who was being used as a tool by others.
Scarface led over a dozen men, quietly following the car where Huo Pingping was inside.
The car did not head towards the police station or similar places; instead, it drove out of the city and into the suburbs.
More certain that these cops were intending to harm Huo Pingping, Scarface surveyed the terrain around him and whispered, "Tell Fifth Brother to overtake and stop that police car. We're going up to snatch the person."
"Brother Yang, do we really stop them?" The younger brother beside him hesitated, "They are police, and they all have guns!"
Scarface slapped him angrily, cursing, "Fuck, it's only a scar if you lose your head. With such a small guts, how the hell can you run with us!"
The younger brother promptly shut up and hurriedly made a call to the car behind them to pass on Scarface's order.
Upon receiving Scarface's order, the car behind immediately sped up, shooting forward and roaring in front of the police car. Then it braked hard, forcing the police car to stop.
