Chapter 614: Chapter 429: The Fate of the Two Women
Listening to the young widow speaking in a manner reminiscent of an old-fashioned household drama, Dong Tianyu couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his mouth a few times. After all, he had browsed short videos and had often seen similar articles promoted.
Although both sides knew that Dong Tianyu did not believe the words of the young widow, since Dong Tianyu did not interrupt, she continued to recite her well-prepared lines, putting on an act and carrying on.
However, at this moment, Dong Tianyu, albeit outwardly giving them cursory attention with a touch of seriousness, was in reality using Divine Sense to keep a close watch on the mother and daughter.
It was uncertain whether the girl could sense Dong Tianyu’s Divine Sense. Initially somewhat perfunctory, her fear became increasingly genuine under the scrutiny of Dong Tianyu’s Divine Sense.
The young widow had been weeping for so long, yet Dong Tianyu had always stood not far from them without coming over to comfort them or telling them to leave, always standing in the distance as if watching a performance, which left the young widow feeling somewhat disheartened.
Just when the atmosphere was turning awkward, the courtyard door was suddenly knocked on again. Dong Tianyu swept his Divine Sense over and realized that the knock was from Yara, so he turned around and casually opened the door.
When Yara saw Dong Tianyu personally opening the door and was about to say something, she noticed the mother and daughter standing inside the courtyard.
Looking at the young widow’s tear-stained face inside the courtyard, and the young girl hiding behind her, revealing only her charming face, looking over cautiously like a frightened little rabbit, this scene suddenly touched the softness in Yara’s heart.
But recalling something, Yara immediately cast aside the distractions in her mind and spoke directly to Dong Tianyu, "Who are these two?"
Dong Tianyu didn’t wait for Yara to finish speaking, he interrupted, "I don’t even know who these two are. The Patrol Office was just here to register, and as soon as those people left, they ran in here out of nowhere.
I was just about to kick them out when the older one started complaining nonstop, saying her husband had died and then her mother-in-law and younger brother-in-law took over her family business. I was in the middle of this when you came over."
Hearing Dong Tianyu say this, Yara, for some reason, felt a burst of secret delight, then asked again, "Really?"
In response to Yara’s question, Dong Tianyu replied with some impatience, "Why would I lie to you about this kind of thing? What, you got ideas?"
Regarding Dong Tianyu’s counter-question, Yara didn’t seek to hide anything, simply nodding, "Yeah, I’ve got some thoughts. If you don’t mind..."
Dong Tianyu waved it off, "Mind what? I’m actually getting a headache thinking about how to send them packing. Since you have some thoughts, then you can take them with you later." He said this to Yara.
Then Dong Tianyu directly shouted at the mother and daughter, "You must have heard our conversation just now. This is Yara, someone quite capable here in Kyoto. If you have any issues, seek him out. As long as he’s willing, there’s hardly anything in Kyoto he can’t solve."
Hearing Dong Tianyu’s nearly explicit words, Yara smiled and nodded, while the mother and daughter’s faces showed an extremely ugly smile.
In Pengcheng, the outcome of Butterfly had told them what happens when you provoke someone powerful and influential. When those second-generation guys are willing to have fun with you, you can flit among the flowers.
But once those second-generation individuals decide to take action regardless of the consequences, once they stop playing by the rules, it becomes a calamity for people like them.
What Butterfly looked like when rescued had been witnessed by all of them. Though they later took revenge for Butterfly, the harm she suffered was irreversible.
That’s why the targets they chose afterwards were like Dong Tianyu, someone rich but without a powerful backing.
Dong Tianyu was chosen as their first target in Kyoto simply because, as far as their investigation could tell, Dong Tianyu had lived a decent and dignified life in the first half of his life, though he seemed to have risen after the disaster.
Everyone knows that when you’re in the limelight, you should seize the opportunity to gain as much capital as possible. There’s a saying that even pigs can fly when standing in the wind, but everyone forgets one thing: even pigs caught in the gale and lifted into the sky will eventually fall to the ground.
If they don’t prepare in advance, the landing will certainly be devastating.
The reason they chose Dong Tianyu as their target was that they wanted to be the butcher’s knife when slaughtering the pig, wanting to carve the best meat from Dong Tianyu when he was at his most glorious.
But plans never keep up with changes. Dong Tianyu was different from other targets. They had seen targets who flatly refused, but never like Dong Tianyu, who, without a refusal, directly passed the bait onto someone else. This was a first for them, so at this moment both women felt somewhat stupefied.
However, as stupefied as the mother and daughter were, Yara by Dong Tianyu’s side was not confused. After hearing Dong Tianyu explain everything, Yara patted his chest and assured the mother and daughter, "I never thought that at this time, I would encounter such a case of a family being wronged. Don’t worry, with me here, I will definitely seek justice for you."
Yara had just solemnly made his promise when Dong Tianyu gently pushed his back.
With Dong Tianyu’s reminder, Yara, riding the push from Dong Tianyu, made his way beside the mother and daughter, pulled out some candies that he somehow procured, grabbed two or three, and placed them directly into the hands of the young girl.
