Chapter 2337 - 2310: Lin Yafei’s Arrival

After a moment of silence, Wu Qiuyang seemed to have figured something out, and a faint smile of relief appeared on his face as he spoke: "Please let Miss Lin in!"

As his words dropped, Wu Qiuyang hung up the phone, and he seemed drained of energy, collapsing directly onto the sofa, with an uncontrollable bitter smile appearing on his face.

He knows that the Yama Palace is powerful. Even after the news spread that Lu Tianxing had killed Tang Qingyun, he called Lin Yafei immediately, intending to bow down to the Yama Palace and ask for forgiveness. But a sudden phone call forced him to change his mind. If he didn’t change, the only thing awaiting him would be utter annihilation, with even his family facing doom.

Opposing the Yama Palace is something he absolutely does not want, but sometimes, certain situations are beyond one’s control, and no matter how you feel, you must proceed because sometimes you’re doing it not for yourself.

As time ticked by, after just a minute, a clear sound of footsteps was transmitted from outside through the closed main door, followed by the sound of knocking.

Upon hearing the knocking, Wu Qiuyang suddenly snapped out of his daze, trembling more violently. He took a deep breath to calm himself, then said: "Come in!"

"Creak!"

Following that was a clear sound accompanying the entry. Soon, a man wearing glasses with golden rims, dressed in a suit, appeared at the office door, accompanied by a woman with an angelic face and a devilish figure.

This woman was none other than Lin Yafei.

"Family Head..."

"You may leave now and bring two cups of tea over."

"Yes!"

The middle-aged man didn’t immediately respond but then bowed and left.

After seeing the middle-aged man leave, Lin Yafei walked into the living room and casually closed the door behind her.

In her mesmerizing face and her enchanting devilish figure, Wu Qiuyang’s expression showed no trace of greed. After calming himself, he stood up from the sofa and spoke to Lin Yafei: "Miss Lin, please have a seat. Please have a seat. I apologize for not welcoming you earlier—I hope you won’t be offended."

Lin Yafei didn’t stand on ceremony with Wu Qiuyang and sat directly on the sofa, her eyes fixating on Wu Qiuyang without immediately launching into an attack. In her investigation, Wu Qiuyang was a cautious man, unlikely to act against the Yama Palace without reason. More importantly, Yama Palace had received a call from Wu Qiuyang at noon today, intending to plead for forgiveness, but suddenly, he reneged tonight, which certainly hid some unknown machinations.

This is one of the reasons Lin Yafei came to find Wu Qiuyang, otherwise, she would directly bring forth an army without saying much and uproot Wu Qiuyang and the Wu Family entirely.

Seeing Lin Yafei take a seat, Wu Qiuyang also sat on the sofa, speaking slowly: "Miss Lin, may I know what brings you here tonight?"

"I came here, Family Head Wu. Don’t you understand why?"

Lin Yafei squinted at Wu Qiuyang: "I must say, Family Head Wu, the way you handled things is indeed impressive. Just a moment ago, you intended to beg us for forgiveness, yet the next second, you are stabbing us in the back secretly. Family Head Wu, do you perhaps think I’m just a weak woman and easy to bully?"

Hearing Lin Yafei’s words, Wu Qiuyang’s face remained unchanged. Given the strength of the Yama Palace, it would be odd if they hadn’t figured this out.

"Knock!" "Knock!"

Right then, the door was knocked once more, and the middle-aged man who left earlier entered carrying two cups of tea. After placing the tea in front of Lin Yafei and Wu Qiuyang, he tactfully once again departed from the office.

"Miss Lin, please have some tea," Wu Qiuyang’s face suddenly became calm as he looked at Lin Yafei.

"Thank you!"

As she spoke, Lin Yafei picked up the teacup in front of her, gently placing the rim near her ruby lips, sipping lightly, showing no concern about possible poisoning.

"Family Head Wu, shouldn’t you now provide me with a reasonable explanation?"

Upon finishing her sentence, Lin Yafei’s almond-shaped eyes narrowed slightly, while her lips curled slightly, outlining a graceful arc.

After hearing Lin Yafei’s words, Wu Qiuyang immediately nodded: "I will indeed provide Miss Lin a reasonable explanation."

Regarding this matter, Wu Qiuyang didn’t conceal anything because Lin Yafei being here already was the best answer. Plus, he was sitting in the living room tonight, awaiting Lin Yafei’s arrival, believing that she would indeed come tonight.

Upon hearing Wu Qiuyang’s response, Lin Yafei’s delicate face gradually blossomed into a broad smile, though this smile carried an unkind undertone, tinged with a cold murder intent.

Wu Qiuyang observed the subtle change on Lin Yafei’s face, and his heart was gradually overwhelmed with bitterness. Tonight, he was destined for death, but he had to strive for something.

Eventually, Lin Yafei slowly spoke, her voice becoming somewhat cold: "Family Head Wu, then please provide me with a reasonable explanation. If you can’t give a reasonable explanation, you should know the consequences the Yama Palace has for dealing with enemies. Of course, you can choose to strike against me and kill me, but then it depends whether you actually have the capability."

"Miss Lin, you’re joking."

Wu Qiuyang shook his head, when receiving outside reports stating Lin Yafei was coming to the Wu Family, he indeed fleetingly entertained the idea of capturing her to threaten Lu Tianxing. But Wu Qiuyang was aware that he couldn’t capture Lin Yafei, who was always a woman who plans meticulously and would never place herself in danger.

Lin Yafei’s appearance here indicates she has planned thoroughly, and if he dared to make a move, he would undoubtedly die.

"Joking?"

Lin Yafei looked at Wu Qiuyang and coldly laughed: "Whether it’s a joke, you’re most aware yourself."

"Tell me, who instructed you to act this time?" Lin Yafei asked again.

When Wu Qiuyang heard Lin Yafei saying this again, his body uncontrollably trembled slightly and said: "Miss Lin, before discussing this matter, could you promise me one thing?"
