The reunion ended in silence, and after leaving the coffee shop, the group went their separate ways home.
Xu Yanshu had just parked the car when she received a call from Jiang Zhengyu.
"You were worried about winning just now, but now you can tell me what happened?"
Nothing can escape Attorney Jiang's sharp eyes!
Xu Yanshu tapped his fingers on the steering wheel meaningfully, and without hiding anything, immediately told them about the text message he had received.
"I'm not sure what approach they'll take, so for now I can only wait passively. I'd like to ask you to help me find two trustworthy bodyguards, just in case anything goes wrong."
There was a moment of silence on the other end, then he agreed, "Okay, I'll contact them right away and let you know when they arrive."
He may have offended many people intentionally or unintentionally, but if we're talking about those who were truly determined to kill him, there were probably only Xie Junyang and Zhou Zehao.
Xu Yanshu nodded thoughtfully, and then realized that it had been a while since he had visited the old fox... Thinking this, he stepped on the gas and drove straight to the Xie residence after leaving the underground parking garage.
Upon arriving at the destination, he was about to go straight inside when he was stopped by Butler Wang.
“Mr. Xu, the master specifically instructed that no shady people should be allowed in, so I went in first to announce my arrival as per the rules.”
The rule is that it takes effect on an impromptu basis, right?
Xu Yanshu nodded with a forced smile, but his expression immediately darkened as he watched Butler Wang walk inside.
He didn't miss the unnaturalness that Butler Wang had shown just now, which was obviously due to his guilty conscience... Some questions were answered instantly.
To avoid alerting the enemy, Xu Yanshu did not leave immediately. He waited in the outer hall for a full half hour before successfully entering the inner hall.
"Yan Shu, what brings you here today?" Xie Junyang asked with a gentle smile, casually teasing, "I figured my place and the Huang residence aren't even in the same direction, so you couldn't have gotten lost, could you?"
Without rushing to reply, Xu Yanshu found a seat that wasn't too far away, then looked up at Xie Junyang.
"Chairman Xie, you can't say that."
"As the saying goes, even if a deal falls through, goodwill remains. After all, I have been fortunate enough to receive your care and guidance for so many years. I can forget anyone but you, otherwise I would be too ungrateful."
So he came all this way just to kick someone when they're down?!
Xie Junyang gradually suppressed his smile, and his gaze towards Xu Yanshu suddenly turned sharp.
"So you deliberately led people to the Xie Group that day, right?"
The idea of acting on a whim is utterly ridiculous. Xu Yanshu had been plotting to sow discord between himself and Huang Dongsheng for a long time, so he had every motive to do so.
Xu Yanshu was taken aback when he heard this, as if he hadn't expected the other party to ask such a question, and then gave Xie Junyang a mysterious smile.
Just then, a servant brought over tea. He reached out, picked up the teacup, took a slow sip, and nodded in satisfaction.
Damn it!
Xie Junyang's face suddenly darkened, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes. This Xu Yanshu was really getting more and more arrogant.
"Chairman Xie, you're wronging me. How could I possibly arrange Uncle Huang's schedule? Besides, I didn't expect you to call and yell at Old Monster Huang!"
He reaps what he sows, so there's no need to produce the recording; Huang Dongsheng's resentment towards this person will only deepen.
Xie Junyang was momentarily speechless with anger. His eyes widened in fury as he glared at Xu Yanshu and spoke through gritted teeth.
So what exactly do you want?
"It's nothing. I just came to see you because we haven't seen each other for several days," Xu Yanshu said casually, shrugging his shoulders.
"Since everything is alright, you can get out of here now."
Xu Yanshu feigned surprise, raising an eyebrow before slowly standing up, as if about to take a step. Then, as if suddenly remembering something, he spoke meaningfully.
"Chairman Xie, if I have done anything wrong, please forgive me and don't take it to heart!"
"After all, it is common knowledge that I have always been a member of the Xie family. If something happens to me, it will inevitably implicate you."
After leaving those words behind, Xu Yanshu strode out.
So did he realize something?
Xie Junyang narrowed his eyes with a deep sense of unease, and only after regaining his senses did he ask Butler Wang to notify Zero One to come over.
"You haven't been near Xu Yanshu these past few days, have you?"
Zero One was somewhat confused. "Master, didn't you tell me to wait for your instructions before taking any official action? I've been training new recruits these past two days and haven't gone out at all."
That would be very strange.
Xie Junyang couldn't help but wonder where Xu Yanshu had slipped up.
"Well, this operation might be a few days late. In any case, all operations must follow my orders."
Better safe than sorry. Xu Yanshu had to be eliminated, but he didn't want to get himself involved in the process.
Zero One immediately nodded in agreement, "Yes, I understand."
Meanwhile, Xie Huanyu also learned about Xu Yanshu's visit to the Xie residence, and couldn't help but feel restless.
Could it be that he didn't see the text message he sent?
His father already harbors murderous intent towards him, so even if he doesn't leave Kyoto immediately, he should absolutely not take the initiative to approach him.
Given the current discord between him and his father, an unpleasant encounter is inevitable.
