Chapter 654 The Opponent Makes a Move
Lin Zhao held up the phone and shook it at me. I said in a deep voice, "Just answer it directly."
Lin Zhao pressed the phone, and Tian Dan's voice came over, "Lin Zhao, what are you doing? Have you gone to Li Po's place? Stop right there if you haven't."
Lin Zhao replied calmly, "I have brought Li Po back as you instructed."
"What?" Tian Dan's voice immediately rose several degrees, "You useless thing. Who told you to act on your own initiative?"
Lin Zhao's face was full of disgust, but his tone was still calm, "I'm doing things according to your and Eldest Sister's arrangements..."
"Bullshit!" Tian Dan cursed, "If I ask you to do something, can't you use your brain a little? Senior Sister even said you have a first-class mind; I think you're just a pig."
After Tian Dan scolded for a while, she said, "Fortunately, this young lady is smart enough; otherwise, everything would be ruined in your hands."
"Now, find a way to stall Li Po and keep creating trouble for him. Just make sure he can't do anything. You don't need to worry about the rest."
Lin Zhao said in a deep voice, "Li Po is a very cunning person..."
Tian Dan said triumphantly, "So what if he's cunning? Without a client, he'll have to admit defeat no matter how capable he is."
"Jie Yueling is handed over to you. Use whatever means you can to make Jie Yueling oppose Li Po in every way. If the client doesn't cooperate, Li Po won't be able to make any waves, no matter how capable he is."
Tian Dan continued before Lin Zhao could speak, "As for winning or losing, you don't need to worry about it. Li Po's client is Jie Sanbao. If the client ends the business, Li Po loses."
I couldn't help but frown.
Lin Zhao asked calmly, "As far as I know, Jie Sanbao is a very honorable person; he shouldn't betray Li Po."
"Haha..." Tian Dan laughed, "Honor is something that has a price. As long as the price is right, there is no one who can't be betrayed."
"To take a step back, honor is something that living people can talk about. How can dead people have honor?"
Tian Dan's voice sank, "Just do your own thing and don't be nosy. I don't like people who ask questions."
Tian Dan ended the call directly.
Feng Ruoxing said in a low voice, "Should we send someone to protect Jie Sanbao?"
I was silent for a moment and said, "Do you think that targeting Jie Sanbao is Tian Dan's idea or is she being guided by someone?"
Feng Ruoxing was also stunned for a moment, "You mean..."
I said in a deep voice, "If it's Tian Dan's own idea, it's easier to solve, because her methods won't be that clever!"
"If she's being guided by a master, then it's a different story. The other party may be trying to disperse our Liangjie Tang's manpower." (Liangjie Tang – Two Realms Hall)
"Jie Sanbao is now a suspect and must be held in solitary confinement; he won't be allowed to contact the outside world. We can't send anyone to his side. The only people in Liangjie Tang who can protect him are Old Liu and Black Night Owl."
"Sending any one of them is weakening Liangjie Tang's strength, and the other party's next move may be coming."
Feng Ruoxing thought for a while and said, "I lean towards the second judgment. The Coffin Gate has many talents, and Tian Dan is likely to bring in outside help. However, Jie Sanbao's side..."
"Jie Sanbao must be saved!" I said in a deep voice, "Send a message to Old Liu and let him arrange manpower to watch over him. We need to speed things up on our side."
I gave Lin Zhao a look, and the latter quickly brought Jie Yueling over. I said seriously, "Miss Jie, I think Lin Zhao has already told you about our current situation."
"The faster we are, the safer your father will be. So, I hope you can fully cooperate with us!"
Jie Yueling said with tears in her eyes, "Can you save my father?"
I hesitated for a moment before saying, "I can't guarantee you that. I can only say that I will do my best."
Martial artists usually don't speak too definitively. They would describe something they are 100% confident in as 70%, leaving themselves 30% leeway.
Jie Yueling panicked, "No, I must save my father, no matter the cost."
Lin Zhao had no choice but to comfort Jie Yueling again. I must say, Lin Zhao's ability to appease Jie Yueling was truly something.
Before long, she calmed down and even apologized to me.
However, Jie Yueling also gave me a problem, "Now that something has happened to my father, his subordinates are probably going to have other thoughts. They will all come to me, what if..."
I thought for a while and said, "Notify Old Liu and let Yun Shang help Jie Yueling manage the company on her behalf, with Butcher Wang cooperating in the operation. I don't want any external factors to interfere with this mission."
My guess seemed to be indirectly confirmed again.
If I didn't send someone to suppress Jie Sanbao's old subordinates, they would create trouble for me everywhere. At that time, even if Jie Yueling didn't cause trouble, those people would be enough to keep me tied up at the Jie family.
Sending Yun Shang and Butcher Wang over was the best choice.
In this way, Liangjie Tang's manpower was weakened again.
I had a feeling that my opponent wouldn't use martial arts methods to make a move, and once they launched an offensive, it would inevitably break out in multiple places, leaving me unable to cope.
I had to find a way to finish the business before the other party, otherwise, I would fall into a passive position.
