My Lady, To Defeat Scumbags You Must Start Early

Chapter 285: 265: Journey to Jinghe (3) Heaven won’t let her die!

Yi Wenhan came back, looking at everyone he said, “No worries, it’s just a verbal dispute, Manager Chu didn’t mean it, she’ll be fine soon, there’s no need to worry.”

“You’re always the most adaptable Wenhan, we’re all afraid of Manager Chu, only you dare to cater to her moods.” A colleague stated sincerely.

Yi Wenhan smiled, he played the good guy role, he said, “Actually, Manager Chu just has a little temper, but she’s a pretty good person. Everyone knows that Manager Chu is serious about her work, and because of her strict requirements, she’s so serious that she feels unapproachable to everyone.”

“Yes, we also know that. Manager Chu is actually very work-oriented.” Someone echoed.

Yi Wenhan said a few more things.

He was basically trying to ease Chu Qin’s image in the eyes of her co-workers.

With Yi Wenhan’s good temperament and popularity, he was famous in Commercial Management, everyone had a good relationship with Yi Wenhan, only… only Song Zhizhi.

Song Zhizhi was just coldly watching Yi Wenhan being very popular, then turned her head to see Chu Qin, who had come back at some point, who, though not saying anything, did not explode in a fury either.

At this moment, the laughter of the waiting hall could still be heard, a few colleagues were joking and talking, the atmosphere was quite pleasant.

Not long after, it was time to board the plane.

Song Zhizhi and others lined up.

A man wearing a peaked cap stood up not far away, walked to one side, picked up his phone, and reported, “Song Zhizhi and Chu Qin had a dispute at the airport, it seems Yi Wenhan has sorted out their arguments.”

“How does Song Zhizhi look?”

“Nothing unusual.”

“Okay.”

“But.” The man said with some hesitations. “The relationship between Chu Qin and Yi Wenhan may not be simple.”

“Hmm?”

“They seem to be very affectionate.” The man said, “I can’t confirm the specifics yet.”

“Okay, I got it.”

The call ended.

Qian Guanshu walked towards Ye Taiting.

Ye Taiting was getting old, even without illness, he couldn’t compare to his past, at this moment, he got up early, sitting in his Leisure Chair, covered with a thin blanket. Seeing Qian Guanshu approaching, he asks, “How’s it going?”

“There’s nothing unusual with Song Zhizhi, she probably doesn’t know about one of our plans for this trip. It’s just the young master….” Qian Guanshu stopped hesitantly.

“What’s wrong?” Ye Taiting turned his head.

“The young master seems to have a deep relationship with Chu Qin.”

Ye Taiting frowned.

“Just now, an informant said, the two of them seemed very affectionate. Judging from my observations of Chu Qin, she wouldn’t be affectionate with anyone unless…”

“Unless she likes that person.”

Qian Guanshu added, “And also has confirmed her relationship with that person.”

“You mean, Yi Wenhan has now hooked up with Chu Qin?” Ye Taiting’s face grew slightly somber.

“The young master is alone and we don’t know who is helping him behind the scenes. Of course, he will want to find a powerful ally. Chu Qin is a good choice, Chu Zhaotian’s daughter, she’s also very assertive. If the young master cooperates with Chu Qin, it’s not a bad thing.”

“Indeed it’s not a bad thing at present, but I have other plans for his future!” Ye Taiting pulled off his blanket.

Qian Guanshu hurriedly stooped to help him up.

Ye Taiting got up from the chair, walked out to the balcony.

Qian Guanshu followed by his side.

Ye Taiting said, “For Wenhan, how can just one Commercial Management be enough? Over the years, our position in Yanshang Country, although indeed highly respected in the public eye, but in fact, the official family has been increasing its control over us, gnashing their teeth, and can’t wait to swallow this juicy piece of Commercial Management flesh! Many years ago, the contract we, the Ye Family, had with the officials, they don’t seem to want to abide by it anymore, and since they’re acting unjustly, I can also become ungrateful and disloyal.”

“Sir, what do you mean…”

Ye Taiting sneered, “With our current power, it’s not impossible to overthrow the official family.”

Qian Guanshu was surprised.

Ye Taiting grabbed Qian Guanshu’s hand, “Don’t be afraid. I only do things that I’m sure about.”

“But, it does seem very risky.”

“That’s why I won’t act rashly.” Ye Taiting let go of Qian Guanshu, “Right now, the most important thing is to make sure Wenhan succeeds me smoothly.”

“Song Shan is definitely not reliable.” Qian Guanshu said.

“Absolutely not!” Ye Taiting’s expression darkened,” I was hoping to have him fight with Qin Wenguo to death, and in the end, we reap the benefits. But who knew that he would instead hold back his forces when I asked him, he just fooled around, clearly not wanting to follow my arrangements.”

“Did he find out about something?”

“Regardless of whether he found out or not, Song Shan should have been gotten rid of earlier.” Ye Taiting said, “The Jinghe project this time, is designed to completely bring down Song Shan.”

“Rest assured sir, everything has been arranged on that side, once the young master and their team get there, we will implement the plan.”

“Make sure to protect Wenhan.”

“Understood.”

“By the way.” Ye Taiting said, “Have you made the appointment with the head of the corpses?”

“Sir, you want to see him?”

“For big operations, it’s always better to negotiate face-to-face!”

“Understood.”

Ye Taiting turned and headed for his bedroom.

“Guanshu, I’m getting old. My body is not what it used to be and I don’t have much time left,” Ye Taiting said, lying in his bed.

Qian Guanshu hurriedly replied, “Master, don’t speak such words. You’re still going strong. You will surely live to be a hundred.”

Ye Taiting shook his head. “I wish that were true, but time spares no one. Guanshu, come here.”

Qian Guanshu walked over to him.

“It’s been a long time since you slept by my side. Keep me company.”

“Yes, Master.”

Qian Guanshu lay down next to Ye Taiting in the same bed.

Ye Taiting held Qian Guanshu’s hand. “In this world, besides you, only Wenhan is trustworthy. From now on, I will leave all the best things to you!”

“Master, I have never expected anything in return for serving you. In the future, I will do everything in my power to assist the young master.”

“Mmm.”

Ye Taiting seemed to have gotten up too early and appeared genuinely tired.

In the quiet room, Ye Taiting’s snoring could be heard.

Qian Guanshu got up from the bed.

He picked up his cell phone and dialed a number.

The call was quickly answered. “Boss.”

“Keep a close watch on them. The primary goal is to ensure Yi Wenhan’s safety, absolute safety. Secondly, frame Song Zhizhi and make sure no one is left to tell the tale.”

“Understood.”

Qian Guanshu hung up and looked at Ye Taiting on the bed.

Having worked a lifetime, it was time for a resolution.

Nanyun Airport.

After three long hours of flying, the group finally landed.

They picked up their luggage and left the airport, got into a large seven-seat car they had rented and headed directly for Jinghe Village.

Jinghe Village was a full eight-hour drive from the airport. They arrived at a small town nearest to Jinghe and decided to stay the night there. They would proceed to Jinghe Village the following morning.

The town’s inn was very substandard. The rooms were small, the hot water was lukewarm, and due to the southern humidity, the walls were covered in mold. The bedding carried a peculiar smell. The conditions were very poor indeed.

After unpacking, Song Zhizhi found herself sharing a room with Luo Xiaolang.

The small town was cold at night, with a temperature difference of over ten degrees from day to night. Fortunately, Song Zhizhi had come prepared. She wore a thick coat and sat on the bed, calling Ji Baijian to let him know she was safe.

“Is it cold?” asked Ji Baijian.

“Yes,” she replied, “only around 10 degrees, while it was 28 degrees during the day.”

“Dress warmly,” he advised.

“Mmm.”

“You’re heading into the village tomorrow?” he asked.

“Yes, we’re assembling at 8 am to move into the village. I hear it takes over three hours on foot,” she replied.

“Stay safe.”

“I will.”

“Has Wei Ziming arrived yet?” Ji Baijian asked.

“Yes, he just called. He’s staying with a local farmer in Jinghe Village. There doesn’t seem to be anything suspicious at the moment.”

“Stay close to Yi Wenhan tomorrow.”

“Aren’t you jealous?” she asked.

“Safety comes first,” he said seriously.

Indeed.

He was correct.

The journey had been fraught with danger, and it was obvious that Wenhan was unconditionally safe. Staying close to Yi Wenhan was definitely the safest option.

Besides that,

she was clear about her goal for this trip.

Only by staying with Yi Wenhan would she have the chance to take action.

“Okay,” she agreed.

“Listen,” Ji Baijian said seriously.

“Yes?”

“Take good care of yourself!”

“I won’t die.” Even the gods couldn’t bear to let her die.

Otherwise, why would she have been reborn?
