Chapter 297: Chapter 0297: Directing a Play
"So, Ye Xunhuan actually helped Chu Ji before?" Xu Mingzhe said, somewhat surprised.
Ye Xunhuan chuckled, "It was just a coincidence!"
"Tongtong just told me that someone had taken you away, which gave me quite a scare. I thought something had happened, but it turns out it was just this!" Xu Mingzhe’s expression relaxed, "Since you know each other, Chu Ji, why don’t you two chat for now? I will go handle some matters and come back to join you later!"
"Go ahead, go ahead!" Chu Ji said, somewhat impatiently.
Then, Xu Mingzhe gave a sheepish smile and left the place.
"What is it, do you have a grudge with him, or are you afraid he’ll find out something about you?"
"There’s no grudge now, but who can say about the future?"
Xu Mingzhe indeed had designs on Qiu Ruoxi; it was only a matter of time before they came to blows, but for now, Ye Xunhuan just didn’t want to fall out with Xu Mingzhe.
"You’re still the same, always stirring up trouble," Chu Ji glanced at Ye Xunhuan, "Tell me what happened, let’s see if I can help you solve it!"
"This is something you definitely can’t solve!" Ye Xunhuan said very confidently.
Seeing that Ye Xunhuan didn’t want to talk, Chu Ji didn’t press further, "Xu Mingzhe is not easy to deal with. He’s aligned with Mu Tiange, following the Emei sect’s methods. Although their moves are subtle, they can cause internal injuries when they hit!"
"You need to be very careful!"
Ye Xunhuan nodded, "I also follow the softer approach, but not from the Emei sect, I’m from the Wudang sect!"
As he spoke, Ye Xunhuan made a Tai Chi gesture!
Seeing Ye Xunhuan’s gesture, Chu Ji helplessly rolled her eyes at him, "By the way, have you heard about what happened with Mu Tiange?"
"What happened?"
"Colluding with the little devils, betraying the country!"
"I heard!"
"Speaking of, Su Guyan is quite pitiful. After that news broke out, she was taken away for investigation quite a few times," Chu Ji sighed slightly!
But the next moment, as if realizing something, Chu Ji quickly spoke up again, "Ye Xunhuan, I don’t mean anything else by this, don’t misunderstand!"
"I know!"
"However, the Mu family really has some means; they managed to clear such a serious allegation from Mu Tiange," Chu Ji said with a hint of admiration.
"Do you believe that video?"
"Half-believing, half-doubting!" Chu Ji downed a sip of red wine, "Mu Tiange was never a good character; it wouldn’t be out of the question for him to do such things."
"Besides, cooperating with the little devils would definitely bring lots of benefits, as they say, men die for wealth, as birds die for food!"
........
Meanwhile, after leaving the front hall, Xu Mingzhe entered a private room.
Upon entering the room, Xu Mingzhe immediately addressed a crew-cut man with a burly figure sitting on the sofa, "Arrange a meeting with Mu Rulin!"
"Young master, why go to all this trouble? Is it really necessary?" the man said helplessly, "Haven’t you already checked him out?"
"Didn’t you hear Tongtong? He now knows Chu Ji, and they appear to be quite familiar with each other!" Xu Mingzhe coldly glanced at the man.
Previously, Xu Mingzhe had not failed to investigate Ye Xunhuan; he had indeed investigated him!
One could say that for any man who appeared around Qiu Ruoxi, he would investigate thoroughly, adhering to the principle "know your enemy and know yourself, and you will never be defeated."
Even though Ye Xunhuan acted his part well and nailed the expressions, the habits he had developed from a young age were hard to break.
Indeed, it was this habit that had kept Xu Mingzhe the unrivaled young master of Zhonghai Province all this time, and he had never left any leverage for others, except for the video that Ye Xunhuan had shot initially.
Because that was an accident!
Although he had someone investigate, nothing substantial was found in a short time, and it was only the day before yesterday that he received news that Ye Xunhuan had once had a conflict with Mu Rulin and had beaten him up severely, ending up in the police station!
But somehow, it had fizzled out afterward.
Moreover, before this incident, Ye Xunhuan had also had a conflict with Kang Wenyuan and his brothers, and miraculously, the Kang brothers did not seek retribution!
This realization hit Xu Mingzhe on the spot, making him understand that he had been completely played by Ye Xunhuan, filling him with rage.
Fortunately, no connections between him and Qiu Ruoxi were found, but instead, it turned out that he was in a romantic relationship with Tang Yurou.
This gradually calmed down Xu Mingzhe’s fury.
He could allow Ye Xunhuan to fool him once or twice, but he would never allow Ye Xunhuan to fool him using Qiu Ruoxi!
Now, Xu Mingzhe planned to properly test Ye Xunhuan!
To see what this guy’s background really was, although Xu Mingzhe had not given up on an in-depth investigation into Ye Xunhuan, such things required time, didn’t they?
"Young master, if you think he is in the way, just give me a chance and I will take care of him for you!"
"Always resorting to violence! Can’t you think for once!" Xu Mingzhe snorted coldly, "If he really has nothing to do with Qiu Ruoxi, why would I kill him!"
"Keeping him around is much more useful than killing him!"
"Besides, he’s now the only man who can speak up in front of Qiu Ruoxi. If I foster a good relationship with him and he is willing to help me..."
"You’re more likely to get played!" The man retorted with a twisted mouth, "He’s already made a fool out of you two or three times..."
Xu Mingzhe’s face darkened immediately: "Can’t you speak like a human being!"
From the conversation between Xu Mingzhe and this man, it was evident that their relationship was more complex than mere master and servant.
"Young master, I truly don’t understand why you insist on hanging yourself on the Qiu Ruoxi tree," the man asked doubtfully, "Jiang Kaishan brought disgrace upon himself. Do you also want to be humiliated by her and then return shamefacedly?"
Xu Mingzhe took a cigarette out, lit it for himself, and took a light drag, saying: "If you understood everything, then you would be the young master!"
"Also, do not compare me with that loser, Jiang Kaishan."
Upon hearing Xu Mingzhe’s words, the man immediately said, "Right, you’re mighty, dominating the world!"
"I’ll go arrange the task you assigned me right away!"
As he spoke, the man rose to leave.
Just then, Xu Mingzhe suddenly said, "Wait a moment!"
"Young master, do you have any other instructions?"
"Make sure to remind me to show up when the time comes; don’t just stand there stupidly watching the show."
"Understood," the man said nonchalantly, "Networking, right? I get it. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely arrange a proper opportunity for you to show off!"
"By the way, young master, since you love putting on an act, perhaps consider becoming a drag queen in your next life—" Xu Mingzhe’s face darkened immediately, and just at that moment, the man hurriedly scuttled out!
