Chapter 466: Old Thief
After finishing these, Wang Qiuchen took the initiative to meet with Dou Jun and chatted with him in the guild hall for an afternoon.
Dou Jun looked determined when he went to the appointment, but when the other party left, his brows were full of sorrow.
When the news of Wu Lingyun's success arrived, Wang Qiucheng made several more phone calls to confirm the matter. After the matter was completely settled, Wang Qiucheng left the club.
The lights are coming on.
Returning to the old house in Mingzhu South Lane, Wang Qiuchen just entered the house and saw his grandfather sitting in the living room, holding a rosary in his hand and resting with his eyes closed.
Wang Qiucheng immediately stepped forward and asked, "Grandpa, why aren't you asleep yet?"
Mr. Wang opened his eyes, pointed to the seat next to him and said, "You sit down first."
Wang Qiucheng sat down next to the other person as he was told and took the initiative to ask, "Is it because of what happened today?"
"That's right."
Old Master Wang nodded and said, "Although your plan seems very thorough, it's still a little naive. Do you really think that killing that kid from Heshui will solve all the problems?"
"Grandpa, has something happened?" Wang Qiuchen asked immediately.
He had just confirmed on the phone that there was no problem at all. Although there was noise coming from Heshui, the impact was not great.
"I've already helped you sort it out." Old Master Wang asked slowly, "Don't you want to know how I knew this?"
"How did you know?" Wang Qiuchen asked following the other party's words.
Wang Qiucheng was actually quite curious about this matter. His grandfather had been out of touch with worldly affairs for many years, so his sudden involvement was quite puzzling.
"Someone called me."
When he said this, Mr. Wang seemed to think of something funny, and the wrinkles on his face became deeper.
"Who is it?"
"A few little guys from Yanjing," Old Man Wang replied. "They said Tang Shuo was dead and they wanted us, the Wang family, to stay out of these matters. They also painted a big rosy picture for an old man like me."
Wang Qiucheng understood all this in an instant, and then he asked, "You didn't agree?"
"How can a few undeveloped kids be qualified to work with me?" Old Master Wang suddenly changed the subject and said, "But I promised them."
“…”
Wang Qiucheng was startled. Just as he was about to speak up to persuade the other party to give up the cooperation, he heard Mr. Wang continue, "Now I just want to hear your opinion."
"Well……"
Originally, Wang Qiucheng did want to convince his grandfather, but after hearing the other party's serious question, he seemed a little hesitant.
Because he really had no way to judge the pros and cons of this matter, or he himself didn't know how to deal with it.
If he were to act based on his own likes and dislikes, he would definitely side with Tang Shuo, with whom he was closer. However, considering the family's perspective, it seemed more appropriate to give face to the Yan Jing people.
Seeing Wang Qiucheng's hesitation, Old Man Wang raised his eyebrows in displeasure. "Just say whatever comes to your mind!"
Wang Qiucheng gritted his teeth and said, "I still hope that you can give up this cooperation, Grandpa!"
"Why?" asked Mr. Wang.
"I think choosing Tang Shuo is safer than choosing those people in Yanjing!" Wang Qiuchen replied.
"But Tang Shuo is already dead!"
"Regardless of whether this is true or not, even if Tang Shuo were dead, I'd still be willing to cooperate with him." Wang Qiucheng smiled and continued, "Besides, from what I know about him, he's probably hiding somewhere watching the fun."
If Tang Shuo had heard Wang Qiucheng's remarks, he would have been astonished. His guess was completely correct. He was indeed manipulating events in Yanjing for fun, but only a handful of people knew this.
"Since you've made up your mind, I won't force you." Old Master Wang stood up with a smile and said, "Go eat. I'm going to rest first."
"What about the cooperation?" Wang Qiuchen asked immediately.
Old Master Wang turned around, a sly look in his eyes. He replied, "I only promised them on my behalf. I didn't tell you anything."
“…”
Even though he was his grandfather, Wang Qiucheng still thought of a word that wasn't a compliment, but could accurately describe him... 'old thief'!
…………
Yanjing, red and prosperous.
Ever since Huangfu Yuanzhou absconded with the money, the management rights of Hongyingyan were assigned to Huangfu Yuanzhou's cousin by the person in charge of the Huangfu family.
Perhaps it was a nostalgia for the old days, or perhaps it was to warn himself, Huangfu Yuanzhou had deliberately chosen this place as the meeting place. Of course, he had disguised himself when he came in, so no one could recognize him as the former owner of this place.
"Damn it, this old bastard!" Song Wenchang put down the phone and cursed inwardly.
Although they didn't know the specific progress of the matter, the expressions of Huangfu Yuanzhou and Li Ruiyi who were sitting on the side also changed.
The last time they joined forces and were defeated by Jiang Tiantong and the Song family was forced to go public, Song Wenchang had not lost his composure like this. Now the other party actually started swearing, which really made them both worried about how things would develop.
"What's wrong? Is there any problem?" Huangfu Yuanzhou asked immediately.
Li Ruiyi, who was sitting on the side, also looked at Song Wenchang with a puzzled look, waiting for his answer.
"We were deceived by Wang Laogou. He said the Wang family wouldn't interfere in this matter, but it was Wang Qiuchen who was behind it all," Song Wenchang replied angrily. "And Dou Jun also changed his testimony. This plan has completely failed."
It was indeed their plan to let Dou Jun go to the South Country to cause trouble. They just wanted to test the reaction of the Wang family at that time.
But they didn't expect that Dou Jun actually brought in the guy from Heshui, Huizhou. However, that guy's joining not only had no impact on the matter, but made their plan more perfect, so they did not refuse.
Later, Zheng Xiaowan stabbed the other person, and then the other person died mysteriously, which made the three of them instantly change their original intention. They decided to bring down the Southern Kingdom first and at the same time involve as many people as possible.
So the three of them discussed it and decided not to gamble on the Wang family's reaction, but to promise the Wang family huge benefits and ask them not to interfere in this matter.
Unexpectedly, Old Man Wang agreed on the phone, but turned hostile in the blink of an eye and completely stopped the matter, which caused their plan to fail completely.
"It doesn't matter."
Huangfu Yuanzhou smiled and said comfortingly, "This matter itself won't cause them any great losses, so it doesn't matter if we fail. Besides, we already know the Wang family's attitude now, so we've won anyway. Even if we keep losing, it doesn't matter. As long as we can win once, we can get back everything we lost with interest."
Song Wenchang nodded, poured the glass of red wine in front of him into his mouth, and leaned back on the sofa with a frustrated look on his face.
Huangfu Yuanzhou shook his head and said to Li Ruiyi, "How long will it take for Tan Zhuojun to come over?"
"About twenty minutes left!" Li Ruiyi said, looking at the time.
Hearing Li Ruiyi's answer, Song Wenchang, who had been leaning on the sofa a moment ago, suddenly sat up and stared at Li Ruiyi and asked, "Why do you think the Wang family has such an attitude? Is Tang Shuo okay at all?"
Li Ruiyi pursed his lips and said dissatisfiedly, "I can guarantee that my information is absolutely accurate. Tang Shuo is definitely dead! If you don't believe what I say, then there is no need for us to cooperate!"
Huangfu Yuanzhou glared at Song Wenchang, then smiled and said to Li Ruiyi, "Don't listen to his nonsense. He has been mentally disturbed by this incident recently. Of course we believe what you say."
Li Ruiyi snorted lightly. He did not respond to Huangfu Yuanzhou, but turned his head to look aside.
He had overheard the news from Li Yihe, so he naturally felt it was incredibly accurate. If it weren't for this, he might have reconsidered when Song Wenchang invited him to join the effort.
Although the Li family did not suffer serious damage in the last plan, it is definitely not insignificant.
