Chapter 799: Chapter 0799: Be a Little Careful
The Hat Hutong in Yanjing is one of the top ten hutongs today and is hailed as one of the most representative private gardens in the capital city. Located in the northwest of the Dongcheng District in Yanjing, it starts from the south at Nanluoguxiang and extends west to Dianmen Outer Street.
It was once the residence of Wan Rong, the last empress of the Qing Dynasty, but not only her: countless famous individuals like Ming Dynasty general Hong Chengchou and Beiyang warlord Feng Guozhang also lived here!
At this moment, in a siheyuan full of ancient charm in the Hat Hutong, a man sat on a stone bench in the courtyard, holding a cell phone in his hand, his face full of bitterness.
The man looked to be in his early fifties, tall and well-built, with a handsome, chiseled face and neatly combed black hair tied at the back of his head. He exuded the meticulous demeanor of a person in a high position and the proud, frosty temperament reminiscent of the God of Gamblers’ Brother Fat.
The man looked at the cell phone in his hand, and the bitterness on his face grew even more intense.
The next moment, the man couldn’t help but sigh, "You little rascal, you won’t stop until you poke a hole in the sky, will you!!"
Recalling the recent conversation with Ye Xunhuan, the man’s heart was filled with helplessness.
Ye Xunhuan harbored deep, deep resentment towards him, entirely disregarding what he said.
Regardless of whether it was good or bad, Ye Xunhuan wouldn’t listen to anything, acting entirely on his own impulses.
Even within his heart, Ye Xunhuan was filled with a loathing towards him.
But to this, he had no solution, forced to let Ye Xunhuan treat him this way, yet unable to simply ignore it.
Knowing Ye Xunhuan as he did, if he didn’t intervene and left Ye Xunhuan to his own devices, he could indeed poke a hole in the sky, which he would then have to fix!
"Big brother, oh big brother, what on earth did you create, even I can’t believe it!" the man said, somewhat angrily.
Soon after, the man picked up the cell phone he had put down and slowly dialed a number!
He needed to resolve this matter, otherwise, if Ye Xunhuan went on a killing spree and angered those old men from Shu Mountain, then Ye Xunhuan would truly be in danger.
While the situation was still reversible, he had to act as quickly as possible to turn things around.
As for what the man was planning to do, Ye Xunhuan in Jiangzhong City had no idea, but after hanging up the phone, Ye Xunhuan also fell into contemplation!
The people from Shu Mountain had actually come to Jiangzhong City for revenge.
If not for the head of the Hidden Dragon calling him and informing him about this, he would surely have remained oblivious, carrying on as if nothing was amiss.
After pondering for a long time, Ye Xunhuan exhaled a stifled breath through his lips, "Shu Mountain, you’d better not provoke me, or else I’ll show you what a nightmare truly is!"
Once he spoke these words, Ye Xunhuan once again immersed himself wholly in his game.
It was as if the matter of the people from Shu Mountain coming to Jiangzhong City had been completely pushed to the back of his mind!
But was it truly cast aside, forgotten?
The answer is definitive.
No!
It’s just that without the people from Shu Mountain revealing themselves, Ye Xunhuan had no way of finding them.
He didn’t even know who had come, nor could he recognize someone as being from Shu Mountain.
Even if the other person stood right in front of him, he wouldn’t know that they were from Shu Mountain.
And since the other party had come seeking revenge, they would surely come looking for him; all he needed to do was wait for them to show up.
Just as Ye Xunhuan started playing his game, the cell phone still on the table rang again.
After hearing the ringtone once more, an impatient look slowly crept across Ye Xunhuan’s face, God damn it, can’t one just play a game in peace.
Immediately, Ye Xunhuan picked up his phone again and answered without looking.
"I’m telling you one more time, I’m freakin’ busy and don’t have time to bullshit with you..."
"You don’t want to talk to me?"
A voice filled with confusion and pleasantness slowly traveled through the handset into Ye Xunhuan’s ears.
On the other end of the call, Su Guyan’s face was full of confusion and incomprehension, completely clueless about what was going on. 𝒏𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝙗.𝒄𝒐𝒎
Upon hearing Su Guyan’s voice, Ye Xunhuan was momentarily stunned, then quickly said, "No, I thought it was that disgusting old guy just now!"
Su Guyan also knew that Ye Xunhuan definitely wasn’t targeting her just now, but as for who he was actually targeting, she had no interest at the moment!
"Guyan, do you have something to talk about, calling me at this time?"
If it had been some other woman, she might have retorted with a question like, "Can’t I call you if there’s nothing important?"
But Su Guyan wasn’t like other women; she didn’t tease Ye Xunhuan and went straight to the point, "Xunhuan, Mu Yingting came to find me just now!"
After Mu Yingting left, Su Guyan had thought it over and decided it was best to call Ye Xunhuan and let him know.
She truly couldn’t figure out what Mu Yingting wanted to do, especially since Mu Yingting had previously asked her to speak well of him in front of Ye Xunhuan and to mediate with the Qin family, to stop targeting the Mu family.
Startled by Su Guyan’s words, Ye Xunhuan was slightly taken aback, "What did Mu Yingting come to you for?"
At that moment, Ye Xunhuan was also full of doubts.
When Ye Xunhuan took Su Guyan away from the Mu family, it was a significant blow to their pride and caused them considerable loss. So why would Mu Yingting come looking for Su Guyan now?
To trouble Su Guyan?
If it were to trouble her, then Mu Yingting would not have shown up so openly.
"He wanted me to speak to you, to ask the Qin family to stop targeting the Mu family, saying that the Mu family is now struggling to survive," Su Guyan summarized briefly, "He also said he would be staying in Jiangzhong City for the next few days!"
Ye Xunhuan didn’t speak immediately but fell into deep thought.
The Dragon Head had just called him, informing Ye Xunhuan about Shu Mountain’s arrival, and at the same time, Ye Xunhuan wondered if Lin Zhennan had come along.
Now, with Mu Yingting popping up, was there any connection between the two?
Yet, Mu Yingting wasn’t a fool either; if Lin Zhennan and Shu Mountain were joining forces to get back at him, Mu Yingting could just sit back comfortably and watch the show. So, what was Mu Yingting here for?
At this moment, just like Su Guyan, Ye Xunhuan also couldn’t completely understand what Mu Yingting was thinking or what he really wanted to do!
"Did he say anything else?"
"Nothing much else; he just wanted the Qin family to give the Mu family a way to survive."
"I’ll make a call and see what’s really going on," Ye Xunhuan pondered and then said, "But you should be careful, there’s something off about this old guy!"
"I know, don’t worry!"
Ye Xunhuan didn’t continue the conversation with Su Guyan and hung up the phone.
After hanging up, Ye Xunhuan dialed Qin Rumeng’s number.
He needed to ask Qin Rumeng what the current situation with the Mu family was, to see if it was really as Mu Yingting had described.
