"How did things go?"
Yu Lingxiao asked Shen Liangping, who was standing beside him. It had been a day, and Yu Shenxing had still not been released, making him impatient.
Shen Liangping respectfully replied, "The Wang Xinrong brothers have already died mysteriously in prison. All that's left is to deal with the families of those few wretched women, and then Chen Jinshao will eat prison meals for life."
"Do it quickly. I'll give you three days," Yu Lingxiao said in a deep voice.
"Please don't worry, Master. There will absolutely be no accidents," Shen Liangping replied, being very careful.
Yu Lingxiao grunted and closed his eyes, thinking for a moment. "Right, do you know who this Chen Jinshao is? Why do I feel like he's no ordinary person? Last night, I asked those bodyguards, and Chen Jinshao alone, with just a three-edged dagger, managed to shatter Shenxing's elbow joint. That's definitely not something an ordinary person can do. And last time, at the wedding banquet incident, I thought it was foolproof, so why did things still go wrong?"
Shen Liangping broke out in a cold sweat.
The last wedding banquet incident involving Ning Fei was actually planned by Shen Liangping. At the time, Yu Lingxiao thought Chen Jinshao would be sentenced, but who would have thought he would be released in less than two days?
What's more, after his release, Ning Pingguo went in instead.
Everything seemed to reveal a trace of strangeness.
"Master, I've already asked someone to investigate Chen Jinshao's background and records. It's indeed as it appears to us. However, Chen Jinshao has good martial arts skills; even among the special forces, he would be a key player."
"If ranked by strength, he should be able to reach B-class!"
Yu Lingxiao's pupils contracted.
In their circle, individuals with powerful combat abilities were divided into strength rankings, from highest to lowest: S, A, B, and C.
For instance, Old Man Ma, who claimed to be protecting Yu Mengzhi under Qin Fengwu's orders, was a C-class expert.
Even though C-class was at the bottom, their strength was not to be underestimated.
C-class experts possessed combat power far exceeding ordinary people and could truly achieve the feat of one against ten in a direct confrontation.
It was no wonder Yu Lingxiao was so surprised.
The Yu family also had an expert secretly protecting them, and that expert was actually B-class. How could he accept the fact that Chen Jinshao was also B-class?
"Are you sure?" Yu Lingxiao frowned.
Shen Liangping took a deep breath, recalling Chen Jinshao's performance on Star Dan Mountain that day, and said with a solemn expression, "I can guarantee that Chen Jinshao is definitely a B-class expert. There's no mistake."
Yu Lingxiao closed his eyes again, as if contemplating something.
Time ticked by, and Shen Liangping maintained his slightly bent posture, already feeling tired.
Finally.
Yu Lingxiao spoke again.
"What a shame..."
"Although a B-class expert is hard to find, he is still slightly inferior to Qin Fengwu."
"Money can make the devil push a millstone; what about power?"
Shen Liangping remained silent, already understanding Yu Lingxiao's choice. Chen Jinshao was indeed far inferior to Qin Fengwu, so this choice was understandable.
At that time.
Xu Nianqing and Xu Yaoyao, upon learning that Chen Jinshao had been imprisoned for that incident, were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
It was already the next day, and there was still no good news. Xu Yaoyao couldn't sit still any longer and immediately took out her phone to call her grandfather. "Old Xu, your treasure has been arrested!"
"What did you do wrong?" Xu Hanchen asked instinctively.
Xu Yaoyao: "..."
"I'm not talking about myself, but your prized disciple—Chen Jinshao."
Xu Hanchen fell into a period of silence.
"Old Xu, you wouldn't just stand by and watch your disciple, would you? You didn't let me join the army, fine. But now, someone is distorting the truth right under your nose, and you're still going to stand by and watch?" Xu Yaoyao was truly indignant.
"I know," Xu Hanchen said.
Xu Yaoyao retorted, "Then what are you going to do, Grandpa? How about I go directly to the Ninghai Bureau and bring Jinshao brother out, saying it's your order?"
Xu Hanchen said with a wry smile, "Girl, I'm really incredibly glad now that I didn't let you join the army, otherwise I'd really be unable to bear to watch. I already knew about Chen Jinshao's situation, but I don't think it's a big problem. He'll be out soon."
"If he can't get out..."
"Then Ninghai truly needs a shake-up."
Xu Yaoyao pouted in anger. How did the conversation turn to her?
"Alright!"
"You said it yourself. If he can't get out, you'll have to answer for it!"
Xu Hanchen hung up the phone with a wry smile.
Xu Hanchen had always refrained from interfering in such matters. One was his adherence to principles and bottom lines, and the other was his belief that Chen Jinshao had the ability to resolve this matter.
If Chen Jinshao couldn't even handle this, how could he become the Eye of the Candle Dragon?
At that time.
Ninghai City Second People's Hospital.
After Xu Yaoyao hung up the phone, she said to Xu Nianqing, "Sister Xu, my grandfather isn't willing to help this time. I'm afraid it's a bit precarious."
The worry on Xu Nianqing's face deepened.
Although she didn't know the background of Xu Yaoyao's grandfather, she could vaguely guess that he was influential and could solve any problem. Xu Nianqing didn't say much more. Forcing herself to calm down, she murmured, "Since this is a legal matter, then let's resolve it with legal means. I'll contact renowned alumni from the Law Department of Ninghai University right now to help me with this lawsuit!"
Xu Yaoyao's eyes lit up. She happened to be a student in the Law Department of Ninghai University.
Previously, whenever she encountered trouble, her first thought was always to find her grandfather to resolve it, or to look for older brothers and sisters in the compound. She rarely considered using her own abilities.
However.
Xu Yaoyao quickly backed down, "Can we really do it?"
"I heard that the Wang Xinrong brothers died mysteriously. Anyone with eyes can see there's something fishy going on. If the Yu family is behind it, can our abilities really take them down?"
Xu Nianqing's gaze gradually firmed. "If we don't try, we will never succeed."
Xu Yaoyao seemed to understand, yet not entirely.
The two immediately began contacting outstanding graduates from previous years. It was important to note that Ninghai University was a top-three university in the country, and its graduates had the ability to become elites in society.
Meanwhile.
Yu Mengzhi was also making arrangements for this matter.
Originally, she thought the Yu family wouldn't dare to extend their reach into the prison. Unexpectedly, the news of the Wang Xinrong brothers' deaths arrived that morning. It was obvious to anyone with a bit of sense that the Yu family was behind it.
But without evidence, the outcome could not be reversed.
After contacting a lawyer, Yu Mengzhi was still uneasy and paced back and forth in her office.
Having a lawyer alone was not enough.
Something was still missing.
Yu Mengzhi suddenly remembered the anonymous email from overseas. To this day, Yu Mengzhi didn't know why the sender had sent that email, so she decided to reply to the anonymous sender, hoping to obtain some useful information through a transaction.
Opening her mailbox, Yu Mengzhi typed two lines on the screen—
"Hello, are you there?"
"I want to make a deal with you."
