My Lady, To Defeat Scumbags You Must Start Early

Qian Guanshu sat in the car, driving around the housing district.

At this moment, Ji Baijian and Song Zhizhi had returned home.

Ji Baijian received a phone call,

the respectful voice on the other end said, “There were no suspicious individuals seen meeting Weng Cheng.”

“Did Weng Cheng come out?”

“No.”

“Keep watching.”

“Yes.”

Ji Baijian hung up the phone.

Song Zhizhi was watching him from the side.

Ji Baijian said, “We’ve been found out.”

“Who?” Song Zhizhi frowned, “Ye Wenhan?”

“He’s not smart enough for that, it’s Qian Guanshu.”

Song Zhizhi nodded, “What do we do now?”

“Wait him out.” Ji Baijian said, “Weng Cheng, they definitely won’t stay. Even if Qian Guanshu knows that someone is watching him from the shadows, he will definitely find a way to kill Weng Cheng. He cannot withstand the threat of Weng Cheng.”

Song Zhizhi nodded.

Meanwhile,

Qian Guanshu remained seated in the car, he asked coldly, “Has the car moved?”

“No.”

Qian Guanshu sneered.

He knew full well he was discovered and yet was still dragging it out. Was he convinced that he would not let Weng Cheng off?

He said, “Go to the housing district.”

“Yes.”

The car arrived at a lane in the housing district, below a building.

Ji Baijian’s phone rang.

The same deferential voice said, “A sedan has parked downstairs below the building where Weng Cheng is.”

“I’ll be there.”

“Understood.”

After hanging up the phone, Ji Baijian left.

Song Zhizhi grabbed Ji Baijian, “Be careful.”

Ji Baijian leaned down to kiss Song Zhizhi, “Rest assured my dear.”

Song Zhizhi watched him leave, worrying.

Ji Baijian was already gone.

He was well aware that Qian Guanshu was baiting him to come out.

If he didn’t appear, Qian Guanshu would no doubt, spend the night with him stalling.

He quickly drove away.

He dialed Yin Qin’s number while driving.

At this moment, Yin Qin and Ji Baixin were watching TV at home.

Since returning from the Ji family residence, Ji Baixin had been in a bad mood. To be precise, she had been feeling low recently. The two of them were watching TV, not talking much, seemingly trying to adapt to each other, slowly getting used to each other.

Upon seeing Ji Baijian’s call, Yin Qin answered it urgently, “Baijian.”

“Go find Yin Ying, your aunt.”

“What happened?”

“Go find her first.”

“Alright.” Yin Qin didn’t ask any further.

“Let me know when you find her.”

“Yes.”

After hanging up the phone, Yin Qin immediately got up and left.

After all these years, he had completely adapted to Ji Baijian’s arrangements, he would reflexively follow every command he gave.

That’s why, in that moment, he didn’t say anything to Ji Baixin, he just left.

Ji Baixin watched Yin Qin’s retreating back.

Watching his back, she didn’t know what she was feeling.

All she knew was that Yin Qin truly didn’t love her as much as he claimed to. He truly didn’t!

Yin Qin quickly drove to his aunt’s villa.

At this moment, Ji Baijian had arrived at his destination by car.

The sedan in front had remained parked there all this time. Seeing Ji Baijian arrive, Qian Guanshu offered a cold smile.

The bodyguard in the front row respectfully opened the car door for Qian Guanshu.

Ji Baijian also got out of his car.

The two of them met at the entrance to the dark and dilapidated lane.

Qian Guanshu initiated the conversation, “Meeting at such a place is quite a coincidence.”

“No coincidence, aren’t you waiting for me, Chairman Qian?”

“Seems you’re not that stupid.”

“Otherwise, how could I still be alive in front of you?”

“That’s true too.” Qian Guanshu didn’t hide anything in front of Ji Baijian. He asked him upfront, “You’re sure you want to oppose me?”

“Chairman Qian is joking.” Ji Baijian looked at Qian Guanshu, “Hasn’t chairman Qian always wanted to get rid of me? I am just trying to protect myself.”

“You’re not just protecting yourself.” Qian Guanshu insisted, “With your actions, I would be in your way if I’m not careful.”

“In fact, Chairman Qian can still live in peace.”

“The same goes for both of us.”

The two men were at a standoff.

Under the stalemate, Qian Guanshu looked up at the residential building about to be demolished, “Would you like to go upstairs and have a look?”

Ji Baijian refused outright, “No.”

Qian Guanshu frowned.

“Weng Cheng isn’t in there anymore!” Ji Baijian sneered.

“How do you know?” Qian Guanshu laughed heartily.

He seemed quite pleased.

“You deliberately lured me out, forcing my men to focus on you. Taking advantage of this gap, you’ve managed to get rid of Weng Cheng without a trace.”

Qian Guanshu wore a broad smile, “If you know all that, why are you still stalling me here?”

“Aren’t you, Chairman Qian, trying to figure out who’s been hampering your plans? Let me tell you, it’s me.”

“You’re really bold.”

“Otherwise, how would I dare to face Chairman Qian directly.”

“Ji Baijian, I do admire you.” Qian Guanshu said, “How about joining me?”

Ji Baijian frowned.

“Let’s pull off a big one together.”

Ji Baijian sneered.

Of course he knew what Qian Guanshu meant by pulling off a big one.

Given Qian Guanshu’s current status, seeking to pull off an even bigger venture meant aiming for the Dean’s position.

This man was really ambitious.

Ji Baijian casually said, “I don’t have the ambitions of Chairman Qian.”

“Ambition, it comes with the more you think about it.”

“Thank you for considering me, Chairman Qian. I’m just a regular person who just wants to be able to protect myself.”

“So, you refuse me?”

Ji Baijian nodded.

Qian Guanshu said, “Ji Baijian, why add another enemy?”

“Why add so many enemies?” Ji Baijian responded.

Qian Guanshu was taken aback.

Ji Baijian is indeed a smart man.

Smart enough for him to feel that this man’s scheming had completely exceeded his age!

Ji Baijian didn’t look at all like a young man in his 20’s. Young men couldn’t possibly have his composure, and couldn’t possibly remain so calm in the face of circumstances. In fact, he couldn’t infer any of his thoughts at all.

This man was truly extraordinary.

If he couldn’t use him, then he must be killed!

“In that case, let’s part ways.” Qian Guanshu left these words behind.

Ji Baijian just watched him.

He watched Qian Guanshu turn around and get back into the black sedan.

The sedan drove off.

Ji Baijian connected a call.

Ji Baijian watched the tail lights of the car, listening to Yin Qin saying, “My aunt is in the villa, wait… she’s coming out.”

“Follow her.”

“Alright.”

Yin Ying drove to her destination.

She has just received a call from Weng Cheng, asking her to go to a port.

She was sent a location, but she was puzzled, wondering what he wanted her to do so late at night!

Before she could ask more questions, the call was cut off.

She was driving a bit fast.

She wanted to figure out what Weng Cheng was up to!

Thinking about the possible prison term Weng Cheng faced made her anxious.

Yin Qin noticed that Yin Ying was driving fast and kept up closely.

At the moment, Qian Guanshu was still strolling on the streets in his sedan.

He didn’t go anywhere, just driving around on the streets.

The vehicles stalking him did not conceal their presence any longer, persistently trailing him around the streets of Jin City.

“Yin Ying is being followed by Yin Qin,” came a respectful voice over Qian Guanshu’s phone.

“Let him follow.”

“Yes.”

Qian Guanshu sneered.

That man Ji Baijian was quite clever, knowing that he would target Yin Ying again.

But…

What good will cleverness do?

Ji Baijian can’t make a big scene.

He grinned coldly.

Ji Baijian was also driving around the streets of Jin City at the moment.

He was sure that Qian Guanshu would take action tonight, since he had exposed himself so blatantly, he would not hesitate any longer.

But…

Could Qian Guanshu be so certain that he could avoid him and flawlessly execute Weng Cheng?!

Ji Baijian picked up the phone and dialed, “Yin Qin, how’s your end?”

“I’ve been following my aunt, now heading out of the city.”

“Anything peculiar happening around you?”

“Nothing for now, it’s peaceful.”

“Stop following her,” Ji Baijian suddenly said.

“What?”

“Find a place to make a U-turn.”

“Why?”

“It’s a trap set by Qian Guanshu.”

“Okay.”

Yin Qin watched his aunt’s sedan in front of him and made a U-turn at an intersection.

Simultaneously, Qian Guanshu’s phone rang.

“Yin Qin suddenly stopped following.”

Qian Guanshu’s expression darkened a bit, “Okay, I got it.”

Qian Guanshu ended the call.

Ji Baijian had anticipated everything.

Indeed, if Yin Qin followed and something unexpected happened, he would be framed.

This man, is complex!

He coldly commanded, “Lose the men who are following us.”

“Yes.”

The sedan suddenly sped up, moving quickly through Jin City.

The sedans following them continued to pursue, repeating this chase in and out of several alleyways.

Finally, they seemed a bit fatigued, blocked by a large truck, and by the time the truck moved, Qian Guanshu’s sedan had already disappeared.

“Sir, we’ve lost them.”

“Huh.” Ji Baijian knew this would happen, it’d be easy for Qian Guanshu to lose them.

Ji Baijian ended the call and dialed Yin Qin.

“I’m on my way back.”

“Just go back home.”

“Huh?” Yin Qin was taken aback.

He was surely toyed with by Ji the Sly tonight.

Ji Baijian ended the call directly.

Yin Qin was really clueless about what Ji Baijian was doing.

Didn’t he say he’d expose Ye Wenhan? Yin Qin failed to see how Ji Baijian would do that!

At this moment, Qian Guanshu sitting in the sedan picked up the phone and asked, “Is anyone following?”

“No.”

“Have another check.”

“Yes.”

Though Qian Guanshu had escaped Ji Baijian’s vigilance, he was still not heading to his destination.

After about ten minutes.

The call came from the other end, “We’ve lost Ji Baijian.”

“Hmm?” Qian Guanshu’s expression darkened.

While Ji Baijian kept an eye on him, he was also surveilling Ji Baijian.

“Just now, it was reported that Ji Baijian found our tracking and shook us off.”

“Worthless!” Qian Guanshu cursed.

“We’ll go find him.”

“Find Yin Qin! See if he’s meeting up with Ji Baijian!”

“Yes.”

“You must find out where Ji Baijian is!”

“Yes.”

Ji Baijian managed to shake off the cars that were tailing him, grinning coldly.

While he was wary of Qian Guanshu, Qian Guanshu was also vigilant of him.

If he’s not under his surveillance, Qian Guanshu would be unsettled.

Half an hour later.

Qian Guanshu took the call, “Still no sign?”

“We’ve searched every inch of Jin City and didn’t find him. He didn’t return home or show up at any location he might possibly be.”

“What about Yin Qin?”

“Yin Qin has gone home.”

“Confirm he wasn’t with Ji Baijian.”

“Confirmed.”

Qian Guanshu’s face darkened further.

He asked, “Is anyone following me?”

“No.”

“Are you sure no one’s following?”

“No,” the other end confirmed.

Qian Guanshu ended the call.

It was very late into the night now.

We cannot afford any more delays.

He ordered, “Proceed to destination.”

“Yes.”

Qian Guanshu’s sedan charged forward.

Ji Baijian drove around the streets after shaking off the pursuers, glancing at the clock in his sedan.

At this time, Qian Guanshu should be able to make his move.

Actually, letting Yin Qin follow Yin Ying all the way, he had already guessed where Yin Ying was heading halfway through because it had to be a port!

A port.

He asked a high level hacker to break into the internal network of Yanshang Country’s maritime organization, and found a vessel crossing the ocean was due to dock at Meishan Port in Jin City tonight. Interestingly, it was in the same direction Yin Ying was going.

If he guessed correctly, Qian Guanshu planned to send Weng Cheng away.

To be more precise, he planned to create an “accident” during the send-off to ensure Weng Cheng’s death.

His complicated plan was clearly aimed to eradicate all threats.

For a perspicacious man like Qian Guanshu, he would worry about whether Weng Cheng had any incriminating evidence. If he killed Weng Cheng directly, it would pose the risk of Weng Cheng’s prearranged evidence exposing their conspiracy.

As for whether Weng Cheng truly had a hold over them… Ji Baijian was skeptical.

If Weng Cheng was smart enough he might have some, but a slight oversight might mean no hold at all, it’s hard for him to tell. What he could not be certain of, naturally, the same went for Qian Guanshu, so the machinations were to test Weng Cheng. Once Yin Ying left her house, Ji Baijian could be sure that Weng Cheng had indeed secured a backup plan.

Qian Guanshu was indeed cunning. If Ye Wenhan was in charge, he would just kill Weng Cheng, consequently exposing the evidences!

Ye Wenhan really needed to be thankful for having such a brilliant father!

Otherwise, he would have died a thousand times over!
