Chapter 631: Chapter 630: [Ling Yuyang, This Toxic Man]

[PS: The second update today is here. Requesting for monthly tickets!!!]

When Ye Tianchen entered the villa where Ling Yuyang lived, he found Ling Yuyang holding a plate of pastries, staring at them somewhat absentmindedly. As soon as he saw Ye Tianchen push the door and enter, Ling Yuyang placed the plate with pastries on the coffee table and looked up at Ye Tianchen, saying:

”Has everything been taken care of, Ah Pi?”

”Eldest Young Master, everything has been handled!” Ye Tianchen replied imitating Ah Pi’s voice.

”Hmm, we only have two days left, we must find the seal in the old Immortal’s possession within these two days, otherwise our plan will fail!” Ling Yuyang said with a fierce tone.

”But we have virtually searched the entire Ling family estate, stopping just short of digging three feet into the ground, yet we still haven’t found where the seal is. It seems there’s little chance of finding it in the last two days!” Ye Tianchen feigned a look of deep concern as he spoke.

Ling Yuyang frowned, picked up a cup of tea from the coffee table, took a sip, and his gaze became increasingly terrifying and grim, filled with a venomous intent. He glanced at Ye Tianchen and asked, ”Ah Pi, how long have you been with me?”

Upon hearing Ling Yuyang’s question, Ye Tianchen couldn’t help being startled, although he had used the ”Bone Transformation Skill” to transform into Ah Pi’s appearance and had imitated Ah Pi’s temperament in every aspect, he did not know the specifics of Ah Pi’s relationship with Ling Yuyang, including how long Ah Pi had been with him, so naturally he couldn’t know this. Many things had to be left to vague responses and a bit of luck.

”That... more than ten years, I guess!” Ye Tianchen replied tentatively.

”More than ten years? Or a dozen years?” Ling Yuyang’s eyes were fixed on Ye Tianchen as he asked.

”That... I forget, Eldest Young Master.” Ye Tianchen maintained eye contact with Ling Yuyang as he spoke.

Ling Yuyang glanced at Ye Tianchen and then a cold smile appeared on his lips as he said, ”Seventeen years, Ah Pi. You are the person I, Ling Yuyang, trust the most. This is the moment for us to stake everything on one throw, a time to decide our fate. If we win, the entire Ling family and Ling Group will be mine, and I assure you that you will become the general manager of Ling Group!”

”Is that true, Eldest Young Master?” Ye Tianchen asked, feigning great excitement.

”Is there anything false about it?” Ling Yuyang laughed proudly, as if he had already taken control of the entire Ling Group and become the chairman.

”Thank you, Eldest Young Master, thank you so much.” Ye Tianchen quickly replied with a smile.

”Ah Pi, in these last two days, it would be best if we could find the seal. But if we really can’t find it...” Ling Yuyang left his sentence hanging as he looked at the plate of pastries.

”Eldest Young Master, you mean...” Ye Tianchen asked, surprised.

”Snap!” Ling Yuyang made a throat-slitting gesture, startling Ye Tianchen so much that he took a few steps back and cautiously asked, ”Eldest Young Master, do you mean to deal with the old man...”

”Not just that old Immortal, but also my two younger sisters, including everyone in the Ling family who doesn’t obey me!” Ling Yuyang said with extreme ruthlessness.

Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but sneer inwardly, Ling Shuanghe could be said to have dominated his world for a lifetime, reaching such a pinnacle in life, counted among the world’s top figures. Unfortunately, in his old age, he had three ungrateful and ruthless children who were ready to cruelly plot against their own father; he probably never saw it coming.

”This... Young Master, if we do this, won’t the impact be too great? By then...” Ye Tianchen said, feigning worry and fear.

”What’s there to fear? With the M Country government, those robbers there, no matter how many people die they can settle it. It’ll definitely have nothing to do with me; they still need to use me, after all. They ought to do something for me, right?” Ling Yuyang said impatiently.

It seemed that Ling Yuyang wasn’t a fool; he knew the M Country government wanted to use him to ensure all of the Ling Group’s assets stayed in M Country. Once he gained control of the entire Ling Group, he’d be nothing more than a puppet of the M Country government. Ling Yuyang understood this but he couldn’t accept it; he was filled with rage and couldn’t bear it. For many years, he had been working for the Ling Group; even if there was no credit, there was hard work. Moreover, as the eldest son of the Ling family, both other relatives of the Ling family and the employees of the Ling Group believed that Ling Yuyang would definitely become the next chairman of the Ling Group, taking over the entire Ling family and the Ling Group. Little did they know, Ling Shuanghe silently passed the helm to Ling Yue, which was unexpected to everyone and beyond Ling Yuyang’s predictions and calculations. Ling Yuyang had already earned the respect of being at the helm and had been proud of his achievements over the years, yet he did not expect such an outcome.

Ever since Ling Yuyang lost his position at the helm of the Ling family, he had secretly contacted the M Country government to collude and slowly plotted to take over the assets of the Ling Group. It would not be easy for him to accomplish this on his own.

”But Young Master, even if you kill that old man, I’m afraid the other old guys in the Ling Group won’t follow you. After all, the position at the helm has been given to Ling Yue. I fear that now they are more inclined to side with Ling Yue, right?” Ye Tianchen asked.

”Hmph, don’t worry about that. With the current situation in China, Ling Yue definitely won’t come back. Not coming back is one thing; if he does come back, even better, I can just kill him too. By then, who in the entire Ling family would dare to oppose me, Ling Yuyang? As for those old guys, well, let’s leave them to the M Country government and those robbers. Intimidation and inducement are their usual tricks; it’s what they do best!” Ling Yuyang said with a cold snort.

Ye Tianchen hadn’t expected that Ling Yuyang was so well-prepared. As long as he was willing to do whatever it took to get his hands on the Ling family and the Ling Group, the M Country government would back him up completely. No matter what unexpected problems arose or how many people died, the M Country government would definitely support their puppet. Even though the thought of being a puppet for the M Country government upset Ling Yuyang, the prospect of giving up the Ling family to his younger brother Ling Yue and facing ridicule from others, unable to hold his head up high for the rest of his life, was even more unbearable. Even as a puppet, at least he’d still be the chairman of the Ling Group, living a life without worries about food and clothing. If he let Ling Yue take over the Ling Group’s assets, he’d have nothing. However, Ling Yuyang failed to consider one thing; even if he managed to gain control of the entire Ling Group, were those robbers from the M Country government that easy to get involved with? Were they that easy to satisfy? He feared that the moment he took over the Ling Group would be the moment his life came to an end!

”There are only two days left. If we can’t get the seal, I wonder what the M Country government will do?” Ye Tianchen purposely asked this, wishing to gather more information.

”What would they do? If we still can’t get the seal in these last two days, I’m afraid the M Country government will kill us along with the rest. No one will survive!” Ling Yuyang also showed some concern as he spoke.

”This... Really? But our relationship with the M Country government is that of cooperation, and they still need to use me. How could they...” Ye Tianchen pretended not to believe it.

”Huh? Ah Pi, when did you become so stupid, so timid in your actions?” Ling Yuyang suddenly felt something odd and looked at Ye Tianchen with curiosity.

Ah Pi had been by Ling Yuyang’s side for seventeen years. The reason Ling Yuyang had made Ah Pi his confidant was that not only was he skilled and intelligent, but he also shared Ling Yuyang’s ruthlessness, obeying without question and never hesitating when it came to killing. Today, however, why did he seem so indecisive? It struck Ling Yuyang as strange.

”Ah... Young Master, this time it’s about life and death, not a trivial matter. If we fail, we won’t be able to stay in the Ling family, and even if we succeed, we’ll still face threats from the robbers of the M Country government, so I really don’t know what to do!” Ye Tianchen said, shaking his head as if under great pressure.

Ling Yuyang looked at Ye Tianchen and finally, with a grave expression, said, ”Don’t worry, the M Country government won’t easily do anything to us. The key now is whether we can find the seal. If we can’t find the seal within these two days, we must kill the immortal old man, otherwise, it’s very likely that the M Country government will make a move on us...”

”To kill the old master...” Ye Tianchen said, feigning surprise.

”Yes, and I don’t want to wait any longer. I’m going to do it tonight. Because that immortal old fool doesn’t trust us at all. A small man is not a gentleman, a man without poison is not a husband. Since he won’t pass on the position of helmsman of the Ling family to me, what am I hesitating for!” Ling Yuyang said fiercely.

”Then... What do you plan to do, Young Master?” Ye Tianchen asked.

Ling Yuyang coldly smiled, picked up the plate of pastries on the coffee table, and then said, ”Do you know what this is? This is my favorite Songhua Cake, and it’s also the favorite of that immortal old man. I had the chef in the manor specially make it; it has the taste of Capital City. I’m sure that after the old man eats it, he’ll slowly die in his sleep, satisfied to the end!”

”To... To poison him?” Ye Tianchen asked.

”Of course, poison him. Later, you’ll go and deliver it to that immortal old fool. Make sure you watch him eat it before you come back. Remember, you must see him eat it before returning. I don’t want any mistakes!” Ling Yuyang handed the plate of Songhua Cakes to Ye Tianchen, demanding sternly.
