Chapter 2336 - 2309: Wu Qiuyang

Upon hearing that Lin Yafei expressed no blame, the man secretly let out a long sigh of relief, and his heart, which had leaped to his throat, slowly settled back down into his chest.

"Hall Master, I shall take my leave now."

Saying this, the man didn’t linger at all. He bowed slightly to Lin Yafei and then quickly walked toward the exit.

Once the man had left, Lin Yafei’s exquisite face immediately filled with an exceedingly cold expression. Her alluring phoenix eyes half squinted, and a striking smear of red on her cherry lips lent a chilling feeling.

At this moment, the smear of red on Lin Yafei’s cherry lips was as red as blood, exuding a bone-chilling coldness.

After a while, Lin Yafei took her cell phone out of the handbag beside her and directly dialed a number.

The moment she dialed the number, almost instantly, someone answered the call.

"Hall Master."

As soon as the call connected, a voice immediately came through the phone.

Lin Yafei was not in the mood for idle chatter and directly said, "Situ Feng, have you found out who the leader is in this attack on the Yama Palace?"

Lin Yafei’s voice seemed to come from the depths of the Nine Netherworld, devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

On the other end of the phone, upon hearing Ji Hanxiang’s icy voice, Situ Feng shivered instantly, as he felt the piercing intent to kill in Lin Yafei’s words.

Taking a deep breath, Situ Feng replied in a low voice, "Hall Master, we’ve found out that the leader this time is Wu Qiuyang, the Family Head of the Wu Family in Beijing. He gathered some second-rate families to attack us."

Wu Qiuyang!

Upon hearing this name, Lin Yafei’s eyes flashed with a sharp glint. She knew Wu Qiuyang, the only first-tier family of the Qingtian Alliance, and the family that first called this morning, claiming to come to the Yama Palace to apologize. Surprisingly, Wu Qiuyang had rebelled against the Yama Palace by night.

"Do you know who is behind Wu Qiuyang?" Lin Yafei asked sternly. Though the Wu Family is a first-tier family, they don’t have the terrifying backing to send experts out like this. Since the Wu Family cannot achieve this alone, there must be some hidden forces supporting him from behind.

"President, we’ve not been able to investigate that for now. The opposing party conceals themselves deeply; our people can’t find out," Situ Feng said, taking a deep breath.

"I understand."

Lin Yafei said coldly, "Situ Feng, tell me where Wu Qiuyang is right now."

"Hall Master, are you planning to meet Wu Qiuyang...?"

Upon hearing Lin Yafei’s words, Situ Feng immediately guessed Lin Yafei’s plan.

"Exactly."

Lin Yafei replied with a cold smile, "I want to see what kind of bravery Wu Qiuyang has, to pledge allegiance to us first and then betray us later."

"Hall Master, do you need me to arrange people to accompany you?"

"No need, just tell me where Wu Qiuyang resides."

"Wu Qiuyang should be staying at the Wu Family Villa now, he hasn’t left," Situ Feng said in a low voice.

"Understood."

Lin Yafei nodded and, after a moment of silence, said, "Situ Feng, I’ll leave the rest to you. Keep those people at bay but don’t kill them, just wait for my message before taking further action."

As her voice fell, Lin Yafei’s eyes slightly narrowed, a sharp glint flashing in them. Such a multitude of experts besieging the Yama Palace — if not leveraged, that would indeed be a wasted opportunity.

Though somewhat puzzled by Lin Yafei’s instruction, Situ Feng promptly nodded and said, "Yes, Hall Master, I’ll proceed with the arrangements right away."

"Then get on with it!"

With those words, Lin Yafei hung up the phone.

After ending the call, Lin Yafei exhaled deeply, "It seems there are indeed fearless people in this world. This time I want to see what you’re aiming for by instigating Wu Qiuyang. Better hope I don’t discover your identity, or I’ll definitely chop off your head and use it as a chamber pot."

As she spoke, Lin Yafei’s previously cold face became even colder.

After a deep breath, Lin Yafei stood up directly from her chair, intending to head toward the door. She then seemed to remember something, took out her phone, edited a message to Angel, and then turned to walk outside.

Upon stepping out the door, Lin Yafei didn’t hesitate at all and walked straight toward the elevator. She wanted to see Wu Qiuyang, personally ask him whose courage it was that allowed him to pledge allegiance and then play with the Yama Palace.

...

Meanwhile, as Lin Yafei left the Sky Dragon Club, within an independent villa in Beijing, Wu Qiuyang, the Family Head of the Wu Family, was sitting on the sofa in the living room. However, unlike usual, he was not leisurely humming tunes, drinking tea, and letting maids massage his shoulders.

At this moment, Wu Qiuyang sat blankly on the sofa, somewhat lost in thought. The cigarette between his fingers had burned down to the filter, and the glowing red ember had even scorched his hand without him noticing.

Wu Qiuyang was deep in thought about something, his face furrowed deeply, shadows of gloom flickering between his brows.

Time ticked by, and after an unknown duration, Wu Qiuyang’s cell phone, placed not far away, suddenly emitted a crisp ringtone.

"Ring..."

Upon hearing this ringtone, Wu Qiuyang seemed to wake from a nightmare, his body uncontrollably shuddering and jerked back to reality. He then felt a sharp pain at his fingertips, promptly shook his hand, and tossed the cigarette onto the costly carpet.

But right now, Wu Qiuyang was entirely unconcerned about these matters; instead, he grabbed the phone immediately and answered it.

"Hello..."

Though Wu Qiuyang tried to steady his voice, it still trembled unmistakably.

Along with Wu Qiuyang’s voice, a respectful tone slowly relayed through the receiver to Wu Qiuyang’s ears: "Family Head, the Great Hall Master of Yama Palace is here, waiting outside..."

Upon hearing "Yama Palace," Wu Qiuyang trembled even more violently, his face revealing an unmistakable look of fear. He knew it, he knew Lin Yafei would definitely come to the Wu Family, yet at this moment, he had no other choice.
