Chapter 244 Attacking the Mountain
Duanmu Lin: "Okay, Boss Cheng, you can go ahead and do your work first! Xiao Zhang will take care of me here."
Cheng Wanjin: "You better treat the distinguished guests well. If you neglect me, I'll punish you."
While Cheng Wanjin continued to blame Fan Xi, he wisely closed the door and slipped away.
Fan Xi: "You didn't bring Situ here because you want to talk to me alone?"
Duanmu Lin: "Yang Ning..."
Fanxi: "I'm sorry, I really have tried my best, but as for whether he is alive or dead, I really have no idea."
Duanmu Lin: "I understand."
Fan Xi: "You really don't blame me? I didn't bring Yang Ning back and I killed Situ with my own hands."
Duanmu Lin: "This is none of your business, why should I blame you. But your feelings for Jun Lan..."
Fan Xi: "I'm sorry, I did break my promise to you, but Yang Ning is in such a state that we don't know whether she is dead or alive. Can you bear to let her be alone with those children in the future?"
Duanmu Lin remained silent on this issue.
Fanxi: "Forget it, let's not talk about her. Mingli, did you rescue him?"
Duanmu Lin: "He's been rescued. He'll be here soon."
Fan Xi: "What on earth do you want? If you ever considered me your own, you wouldn't want Cheng Wanjin."
Duanmu Lin: "It seems that he treats you quite well. You are just an employee, but you still protect him so much."
Fan Xi: "Although he can be a bit harsh to us sometimes, he is still a very loyal person. No matter how you look at it, he has done me a favor, so I still hope you won't touch him."
Duanmu Lin: "If one day he and I really end up on opposite sides, and you have to choose between the two, who will you choose?"
Vansh: "Of course I choose your side, but if that day ever comes, it means our relationship is over."
Duanmu Lin: "Don't worry, that day won't come. I promise I won't mess with Cheng Wanjin."
He picked up his phone and made a call: "Situ and Mingli, come to the Sky Blue Casino together. We are going to start a war."
Vansh: “What do you mean?”
Duanmu Lin hung up the phone: "You'll know in a moment."
Soon, Situ brought Mingli to Fanxi's room.
Fan Xi: "You are here too? Master Duanmu, can you tell me about your plan?"
Duanmu Lin: "General Hongtai will be here soon. I guess he has verified the news and is afraid, so he wants to kill Bo Sang as soon as possible. But I'm afraid it will be difficult for Mingli to do so."
Mingli pretended not to care and said, "It's not the first time I've done something like this for the sake of justice. As long as Master remembers what he promised me, that's all."
Situ: "Then do you have any big plans in mind?"
Duanmu Lin: "I want to hear what General Hongtai has to say before I make a decision."
Fan Xi: "Master, can you trust your words? Back then, you swore to Bo Sang that you would take the money, release the man, and settle the old feud. But, in the blink of an eye, you went to find General Hongtai and wanted to kill him, didn't you?"
Everyone fell silent after hearing this.
Duanmu Lin: "Actually, I don't care about the lives of those workers at all. This matter has actually been resolved long ago. This time he has done too many things that have angered the heavens and the people. Can't I find someone to deal with him for the sake of justice?"
Cheng Wanjin knocked on the door and came in and said, "General Hongtai is here."
Duanmu Lin: "Please invite him up!"
Cheng Wanjin walked out without making a sound.
Duanmu Lin: "I don't ask you to get involved in this. If you feel that doing so is unethical, you can withdraw immediately, but you must not leak the news."
"Please come in, please come in, General Hongtai, please come in, Master Duanmu has been waiting for you inside for a long time." Cheng Wanjin's voice came from outside.
Duanmu Lin: "When outsiders are around, we should be more careful with our words. We can't let them think we are a group of scattered people. That would be too embarrassing."
Compared with his cheerful expression in the morning, General Hongtai seemed a little angry in the afternoon.
He said, "You didn't leak anything about what happened this morning, did you?"
Everyone looked at each other and no one said a word.
Duanmu Lin: "Just tell him sensibly, no."
After getting the reply, Hongtai picked up a bottle of wine and started drinking it. Before he had finished half of it, he threw the bottle to the ground.
"You Chinese are dishonest. This isn't foreign liquor, it's iced black tea."
Fanxi suddenly felt a severe pain in his head.
Cheng Wanjin: "Who is it? Which daring guy stole the famous liquor and poured iced black tea? Is it you, Zhang Fanxi?"
Zhang Fanxi sighed: "It's me, it's me, it's all me. What do you want this time? You don't want to blow my head off again to make amends to him, do you?"
Cheng Wanjin pointed at Zhang Fanxi and said, "You are becoming more and more unruly."
He smiled and said to General Hongtai: "He is a child and doesn't understand things. I am his elder brother. I apologize to you." After that, he smashed a bottle of wine on his head with such force that he passed out.
Zhang Fanxi quickly walked over to help him up and said, "You guys continue, I'm going to take my boss to the hospital."
When they reached the door, Zhang Fanxi said to Cheng Wanjin, "Brother Jin, you are stupid. Why are you punishing yourself like this for such a small matter?"
Cheng Wanjin knocked Zhang Fanxi on the head and said, "You're the fool. Judging from their actions just now, they seem to be planning a war against Bosang. As middlemen, the less we know, the better. Otherwise, we'll offend both sides. So we have to find a chance to get out quickly."
Zhang Fanxi: "Then you don't feel any pain?"
Cheng Wanjin: "Oh, it would have been better if you hadn't said anything. Now that you've said it, I'm in so much pain. How else can we get out safely? Stop talking nonsense and take me to the hospital quickly."
Fan Xi thought to himself, "Ginger really gets spicier as it gets older."

General Hongtai said, "It's better that Cheng Wanjin, that old fox, is gone. To prevent any further leaks, I've decided to go up the mountain tonight and capture Bosang and his gang. I'd like to ask for your suggestions."
Duanmu Lin: "We all need to seek sensible advice at this time."
Mingli: "Master, can I really do this?"
Duanmu Lin: "Just tell them!"
Hongtai pointed at Mingli and said, "Aren't you Bosang's nephew? Come and tell me what the situation is like in the mountains."
Mingli took a pen and paper from Fanxi's desk, and started drawing on the paper in front of Hongtai.
"This is the only entrance to the stronghold. There are four 10-meter-high watchtowers at the entrance, but this is the most heavily guarded place, so a forced attack wouldn't be easy. There's a small path about 10 meters to the left that also leads to the stronghold, but it's a trap, designed to confuse uninformed intruders, as the path is densely packed with mines."
General Hongtai thought for a long time before saying, "So we still have to attack violently to take this hill."
Duanmu Lin: "Mingli, don't you have any other way to reduce the damage?"
Mingli: "Actually, there is a mountain road that leads directly to the village, but it's all primeval forest over there, and there are wild animals roaming around, so I guess it won't be easy to walk on it at night!"
