Chapter 374: Chapter 373 Temporary Action
After Zhu Tianshou left, Yang Fei called Qin Yanyang to ask where she was.
Qin Yanyang told Yang Fei to go back first as she and Tong Yunshu were going to shop a little longer.
Yang Fei imagined the two of them shopping and chatting together like close girlfriends, and a strange feeling arose in his heart.
Tong Yunshu’s mental fortitude is indeed strong, could she be trying to get on good terms with Qin Yanyang in advance?
Yang Fei simply stopped worrying about it.
Let it be what it may.
He believed that after their ’communication’ earlier, Tong Yunshu wouldn’t blabber.
With a little over a month before the New Year, he and Qin Yanyang would be married, and even if she found out, he would have a better chance of keeping her by his side.
Yang Fei went home, while at a newly opened mall nearby, Qin Yanyang and Tong Yunshu grew more engaged in their conversation, feeling a sense of regret for not having met sooner.
Putting aside their Cultivation Realms, Tong Yunshu was also a bona fide powerful woman. Though she appeared gentle and graceful, with a strong feminine charm, she was inherently quite dominant.
Qin Yanyang, the Heavenly Pride Girl with overwhelming confidence, was a very opinionated person.
Thus, the longer they spent time together, the more they discovered similarities in their personalities and values, and their rapport grew stronger.
"Yang Fei and I have decided to make up our wedding by the end of the year, you must come," Qin Yanyang suddenly said.
Tong Yunshu was visibly taken aback.
Qin Yanyang noticed and glanced at Tong Yunshu sideways, her eyes carrying a hint of suspicion and scrutiny.
Tong Yunshu felt a bit bitter and displeased inside, but realizing Qin Yanyang’s probing gaze, she laughed and said, "Didn’t you two already get married?"
"We’re married, but we haven’t had a wedding ceremony yet. You know, getting married is the most important thing for us women in our lives; I can’t just skip having a wedding, can I?" Qin Yanyang said.
Tong Yunshu nodded and said, "Absolutely, and it should be a lively one too."
Qin Yanyang replied, "Yeah, I’ve told my family, they’ll take care of it."
"Are you holding it in Imperial City?" Tong Yunshu asked curiously.
"Yes, first in Imperial City, and after that, we’ll have another one at his hometown by the end of the year. If you’re free, could you help me be a bridesmaid at his hometown?" Qin Yanyang said.
Tong Yunshu didn’t know if Qin Yanyang was saying this on purpose or if it was a sincere invitation.
It irritated her, and she even felt a gnawing hatred, but then she thought of her relationship with Yang Fei and had a bold idea.
"Sure, just remember to invite me when the time comes; I’ll definitely be there," Tong Yunshu said with a smile.
Showing off in front of me, huh?
I’ll take your man down before you even reach your bridal chamber.
...
When Yang Fei got home, while Qin Yanyang was still out, he called Li Xuanyu to find out if Zhang Yunlong had spoken.
Li Xuanyu said, "He’s pretty tough-mouthed, but after such long torment, he’s started to crack and has spilled some details."
"Oh, let’s hear it," Yang Fei perked up.
"He said he’s only middle-ranking in Sky Net, not the highest echelon, but from what he’s told us, we did learn about several of Sky Net’s hideouts. We’re planning to check them out," Li Xuanyu explained.
Yang Fei frowned and said, "Since he’s a member of Sky Net, as soon as you took him, Sky Net would be on guard against this. So, the hideouts he mentioned have probably been moved long ago, and if not, they might very well be traps."
"You think I’m an idiot? Of course, I’m aware of those possibilities, but Sky Net killed some of our brothers back then; we have to avenge them and at least take a look. We’ll be cautious, don’t worry," Li Xuanyu said.
Yang Fei hastily said, "Listen to me, don’t take any action against Sky Net for now. You guys just need to hide well and try to extract more information from Zhang Yunlong."
"This guy is tough, and I feel like he doesn’t know much. He keeps threatening us, too, saying that if we touch him or the Zhang Family, we’d be messing with that big shot’s interests, telling us we’ve stirred up a massive problem," Li Xuanyu commented.
"Oh, didn’t you ask him who that big shot is?" Yang Fei asked.
Li Xuanyu replied, "I did, but the guy’s not budging. He even said we wouldn’t recognize the name even if he told us."
Yang Fei squinted his eyes, contemplating interrogating Zhang Yunlong himself.
"Everyone’s looking forward to your return. How much longer will it be?" Li Xuanyu asked.
Yang Fei thought for a moment and said, "Soon."
"Alright, we’ll wait for you." "Oh, I have a friend who will come to you guys soon; let him help with the interrogation of Zhang Yunlong," Yang Fei said.
"Who is it?" Li Xuanyu asked, dissatisfaction in his tone: "As you know, our identities are sensitive, and we don’t want more people to know about us."
"Don’t worry, the person is absolutely reliable," Yang Fei reassured: "Tell everyone that I’ll be back soon."
"Alright."
...
After parting with Tong Yunshu, Qin Yanyang returned to the parking lot to fetch her car and head home.
That’s when her phone rang.
Seeing it was an internal confidential call, Qin Yanyang’s expression subtly shifted as she answered, "What’s up?"
"We have a lead."
A woman’s voice came through on the other end of the line, continuing, "Someone has been active in Huangyang County these past few days, secretly investigating the matter of Yang Fei’s father, and our people have followed him."
Qin Yanyang’s expression shifted, "Investigating Yang Fei’s father?"
"Yes. At first, we thought someone was targeting Yang Fei’s uncle’s family, but then we realized they were only discreetly looking into some old affairs. Later, our people tracked him to Jiangbei Danzhou."
Qin Yanyang raised her eyebrows, "How recent?"
"Just now."
"Did they notice anything?"
"They shouldn’t have, otherwise he wouldn’t have returned to that den."
"Are you sure that’s one of their dens?"
"Ninety percent certain."
Qin Yanyang decisively said, "Good, keep an eye on it on your end and remember, don’t spook them."
After hanging up the phone, she immediately dialed another number and issued her orders with utmost efficiency, "Assemble a team of thirty, ready to move at any moment."
"Yes!" A firm and resolute voice came from the other side, without asking for any reason.
Putting down the phone, Qin Yanyang’s mind conjured up the image of Yang Fei.
After a moment of thought, she still decided to call Yang Fei.
Yang Fei picked up quickly, asking, "Has the wife come back?"
Qin Yanyang said, "Yang Fei, I need your help with something."
Yang Fei, noticing her serious tone, couldn’t help but startle, then said, "Why so formal between us, just tell me, what is it?"
"Can’t say right now, wait for me at home, I’ll come to get you," Qin Yanyang said.
Hearing the dial tone of the hung-up call, Yang Fei was somewhat startled.
Qin Yanyang’s tone was quite serious.
She hadn’t called him hubby but used his name directly.
Something was off.
Suddenly, a chill broke out on his back.
Could it be that she had caught on to his affair with Tong Yunshu?
Thinking of this possibility, he grew even more anxious and quickly sent a message to Tong Yunshu to confirm.
Tong Yunshu called him directly, her voice teasing, "What, scared?"
Yang Fei, anxious, said, "Has it been discovered or not?"
"Why are you so nervous? I won’t go back on my word," Tong Yunshu said.
That gave Yang Fei some relief, and he inquired about how their conversation went today. Tong Yunshu mentioned Qin Yanyang inviting her to be a bridesmaid, and how she wanted to sleep with him before he consummated his marriage.
Yang Fei hung up the phone in fright.
This woman is insane!
Why the hell am I still looking forward to it?
Fuck, such a scumbag!
It wasn’t long before Qin Yanyang returned.
Seeing Yang Fei waiting at the front door, she said straightaway, "Get in the car and we’ll talk."
Yang Fei decisively got in the car, and Qin Yanyang drove away from the villa. Yang Fei couldn’t help asking, "What on earth is it, you’re being so secretive."
"It’s a sudden operation, a capture mission. Will you help me?" Qin Yanyang looked at him and asked.
Energized by this, Yang Fei said, "Of course I’ll help. Wifey, who are we going after?"
