"Playing along with their plan?"
Ning Zheyuan was stunned, his eyes filled with confusion.
But as Xia Che explained, Ning Zheyuan's eyes grew brighter and brighter. When he finished, Ning Zheyuan nodded excitedly and said, "Okay, let's do it this way!"
"Doesn't Li Junyang like to be a rat hiding in the sewers and secretly causing trouble? Fine... I'm going to drag you out, you rat, and kill you."
Xia Che narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold smile appearing on his face.
He hadn't forgotten that the gangster who changed his opinion of Li Junyang in the original story was most likely Ning Zheyuan, who was standing right in front of him.
If everything follows the original plot, then according to the storyline, Ning Zheyuan would be surprised by Li Junyang's scheming, and thus gradually change his opinion of Li Junyang.
but……
My arrival disrupted everything.
Perhaps due to the butterfly effect, Li Junyang lost his composure and quietly shifted his initial target from the female lead to himself.
He couldn't have imagined, no matter how hard he tried, that there was a master-servant relationship between Ning Zheyuan and him, and that Ning Zheyuan was extremely loyal.
It can be said that a series of subtle changes and a series of unexpected events have combined to create the current situation.
If Li Junyang weren't so narrow-minded, if Li Junyang were willing to let him off the hook, if Li Junyang could prioritize the bigger picture...
So now the initiative is in his hands.
Ning Zheyuan will gradually change his opinion of Li Junyang because Li Junyang doesn't harm him, but will do so in other ways, and will eventually be changed by Li Junyang and become his subordinate.
As for whether he will betray the Xia family, Xia Che is unsure for now, but if the original plot unfolds as it is, Ning Zheyuan will almost certainly become Li Junyang's subordinate.
But now, because of Li Junyang's narrow-mindedness, all of this has come to naught.
Therefore, Xia Che can breathe a sigh of relief now; the situation that happened in the original work will not be repeated.
From this moment on, the roles of offense and defense have reversed.
...
Seattle restaurant.
It was already quite late, and the diners, having enjoyed their meal, left under the cover of night.
The large restaurant was nearly empty as it was closing time. The only people in the lobby were the cleaning staff, who were busy mopping the floor and clearing away dishes.
Li Junyang rested his chin on his hands, his eyes fixed on the window, unblinking.
On the table in front of him, the plates had been cleared away, leaving only an empty wine bottle and a wine glass with a little less than half left.
Li Junyang is waiting for good news.
However, as time went on, no good news came, which made Li Junyang somewhat anxious.
"What's going on? Shouldn't those bastards from the Yan Yun Gang be quick and efficient in their attacks?"
Li Junyang frowned deeply.
Could it be that the Yan Yun Gang is merely relying on its reputation and its actual business capabilities are simply not up to par?
and……
Li Junyang glanced at the clean table in front of him, and then noticed that the passersby who were paying and leaving seemed to be looking at him, as if wondering why he was sitting there without ordering anything. For a moment, Li Junyang felt that he was being looked down upon, and his brows furrowed even more.
That fat bastard Liu Bing, all that money for running such a big restaurant, and he's so clueless.
Don't you even know how to buy yourself something?
Is this how Seattle hospitality is done, leaving guests sitting there doing nothing?
People like that will never go far!
Li Junyang had already decided that once Qingshan Real Estate became a major player, he would definitely kick Liu Bing out of the game completely.
Do you dare to embarrass yourself here?
From now on, you can forget about living in Jiang City, Liu Bing!
"Young Master Li, these are the snacks and tea that our boss prepared for you."
At this moment, perhaps having overheard Li Junyang's inner grumbling, a waitress carried a tray and placed a plate of delicate pastries and a pot of tea on the table.
Seeing this, Li Junyang's expression softened slightly, but being ignored for so long still annoyed him. He snorted coldly and stopped the waiter who was about to turn and leave: "Do you even know how to do your job? I came here to eat, and you want me to drink tea? Who drinks tea this late at night?"
"This... huh?"
The waiter was somewhat at a loss. These pastries and tea were indeed not arranged by Liu Bing, but rather she was kind-hearted and wanted to give Li Junyang something because she saw him sitting there all alone.
Unexpectedly, this person acted like a dog, even picking and choosing freebies?
If you want to drink, why don't you pay for it?
I've never seen someone pretend to be something they're not paying for.
"What's your name? I've remembered your face. I'll have a good talk with Liu Bing later and tell him to tighten up the quality of his subordinates!"
Li Junyang, not one to back down, channeled the contempt he had felt from those strange stares into a rage, which he unleashed on the waiter.
"This...I..."
The waitress was just a young girl working part-time here; she had never seen anything like this before. In an instant, her eyes reddened, and she stammered, wanting to explain, but seeing Li Junyang's fierce and menacing appearance, she couldn't utter a single word of her defense.
She couldn't understand why Li Junyang, who seemed so gentle and young, about the same age as her, and not at all like those difficult customers, would suddenly change like this.
Li Junyang was still not satisfied and was about to start another attack when his phone started buzzing.
He picked it up and saw it was a text message from Cigarette Scar. It was very short, with only one sentence: "I have successfully taught Xia Che a lesson, but a passerby called the police, so I didn't have time to take his leg."
It was a success?
Li Junyang was stunned for a moment, then a surge of joy welled up inside him.
If the venue hadn't been unsuitable, he would have been laughing hysterically by now.
Let that blond bastard get in your way time and time again, now he's finally getting what he deserves!
However, it's a real pity that Xia Che's leg wasn't broken. A scoundrel like him who doesn't know his place and likes to go against me should be crippled in both legs to make me feel better.
Just as Li Junyang was about to reply, he received another text message from Yanba: "This operation has alerted him. To prevent him from suspecting you, it's not advisable to take action again. Don't worry, you reserved his leg with me, and I will definitely give it to you. I will find another opportunity."
These words were like a reassurance, instantly making Li Junyang, who had been somewhat disappointed, happy again.
"Thanks, Cigarette Scar!"
Li Junyang replied quickly, beaming with joy.
As expected!
It had to be a seasoned veteran like Brother Yanba who was calm and collected, and knew to think of his own interests. He needed to clear his name first. To Li Junyang's surprise, Brother Yanba actually remembered his request and agreed to help him break Xia Che's leg.
"For a big shot like Cigarette Scar to be taking my words so seriously now, it seems... he admires me?"
Li Junyang stroked his chin, indulging in a blissful fantasy.
