Chapter 126: Chapter 126: Wait Another 3 Days _1
Xu Ling gave another soft moan, her body pressing even tighter against Li Kai.
After resting for a moment, Li Kai felt a burning heat reignite beneath him, Xu Ling was just too skilled; even he, a worldly scion of wealth, was unable to resist.
Five minutes later, Li Kai picked up the cigar from the table again, inhaled and exhaled clouds of smoke before he finally revealed his plan.
"Now is not the best time. Although the Xu Family has just withdrawn their influence from Hai City, I haven’t received certain news. Rash actions would surely cause unnecessary trouble."
"Three days, I will wait three more days at most. When the Xu Family’s influence has waned, when everyone in Hai City knows that Ye Ming has lost the Xu Family’s protection, there will be many who want to move against him. All I need to do is unite this force, and I can use minimal effort for maximum effect!"
Upon hearing Li Kai’s narrative, a more excited expression appeared on Xu Ling’s face.
As long as she could get Li Kai to act against Ye Ming, all her efforts to please Li Kai would not have been in vain. Even if it meant trading her body, what of it?
After leaving the hotel, Xu Ling immediately went home and informed her family of the matter.
Upon hearing this, Xu Daqiang immediately slapped the table, his ambitions already aflame.
"As long as Young Master Li agrees to deal with Ye Ming, Ye Ming’s day of demise isn’t far off. He will definitely be left with no place to be buried!"
Zhang Xueping sighed, "Can it really be done? I feel like that Li Kai isn’t all that reliable. Lingling has paid too high a price. If we still can’t do anything to Ye Ming, wouldn’t we be at a huge loss?"
The idea to let Xu Ling seduce Li Kai and tie him to their own ’pirate ship’ was proposed by Xu Ling’s biological father, Xu Daqiang himself.
Using his own daughter as a bargaining chip was something Zhang Xueping could never agree to. After all, with a ruined reputation, how would she ever marry in the future?
It was only when Xu Daqiang guaranteed it with his own dignity that Zhang Xueping reluctantly agreed. But now, she was having second thoughts.
Xu Daqiang patted his chest with confidence and said, "What does a woman understand? Do you know what the Li Family of Yanjing is like?"
"They are on par with the Xu Family, able to contend with them. Among the six great families of Yanjing, their power is considerable! My sister told me herself."
"Let’s not talk about just using him to kill Ye Ming by proxy, I would love for Lingling to marry into their family, to please him unconditionally!"
"It’s just that we don’t have the means!"
At Xu Daqiang’s words, a displeased expression crossed Xu Ling’s face. Her skills were far from meager, but as for the things she did with Li Kai, she was still too embarrassed to mention them.
She simply said, "Just relax, right now I still need to see how Li Kai performs. If he’s really as powerful as Dad says, wouldn’t it be easy to secure him?"
"Just like when I secured Wang Hai before, ugh! Why did I mention that dead man again?"
The involuntary mention of Wang Hai sparked anger on Xu Ling’s face.
She had schemed with all her might to win over Wang Hai, hoping he would be her safe harbor. But not only had he not been of any use, he had also caused her such distress and fright.
If her thoughts reached Wang Hai under the nine springs, he’d probably be so angry he’d come back to life.
Meanwhile, on the other side, upon learning of Wang Hai’s death, his father immediately unleashed endless vengeance.
He conspired with various forces behind the scenes, seeking to collaborate in a counterattack against Ye Ming.
Unfortunately, until now, no one was willing to stand with him on a united front. Everyone was in a wait-and-see state, with no one willing to be the pioneer to test Ye Ming.
After all, it could very likely cost them their lives.
Left with no choice, he paid the price of half his family’s fortune to hire dozens of assassins to go to Ye Ming’s residence, aiming to kill him in the night.
This expenditure consumed his entire half family’s fortune in just a short half-hour.
After dispatching the assassins, he hid himself on a small hill far away, spying through a telescope. The result was that he saw a girl in pajamas walking out of Ye Ming’s villa.
Then, effortlessly, the girl took care of all the assassins and even seemed somewhat unsatisfied with the ease of it.
Having no choice, he left with his head hung low, his spirit half shattered, yet he still harbored thoughts of revenge against Ye Ming.
Little did he know, his so-called secret resting place had already been detected by Lin Bingqing during the fight, and after dealing with all the assassins, Lin Bingqing had originally planned to dispose of him as well.
It was Ye Ming who stopped her, saying, "There is no need to rush to kill him now. Perhaps, he is a fuse that can help us draw out many enemies lurking in the shadows."
"Although your martial strength has increased greatly, you still need to learn much about cunning. You have lived far from the city, untouched by the multitude of people and events; pay attention to this!"
Lin Bingqing naturally would not disobey Ye Ming’s words and quickly nodded her head, saying with a respectful face, "Yes, Master!"
After dealing with the assassins, Scarface and Qin Tianyu had arrived at Ye Ming’s home.
Seeing the scene littered with corpses, both Scarface and Qin Tianyu were greatly shocked.
In just a few short days, Lin Bingqing’s strength had increased so much that they could hardly fathom it.
Lately, Scarface had received numerous offers of amnesty, with many hoping to persuade him to betray Ye Ming. Some even offered astronomical sums, hoping Scarface would stab Ye Ming in the back.
Scarface was somewhat tempted, but after witnessing Lin Bingqing’s strength firsthand, he instantly extinguished that thought.
He had long forgotten that all he had now had come through Ye Ming; all he remembered was that Lin Bingqing had gained many benefits by following Ye Ming. Thus, as long as he loyally followed Ye Ming, he was sure to reap many more rewards in the future.
At worst, he could turn against him when he grew strong enough.
"Mr. Ye, about the Herbal Pill business you mentioned, all the underground forces leaders in Hai City have placed an order for fifty each with me, all at ease for you to take your time with it," Scarface said.
Scarface pulled out a card from his pocket containing a full two billion.
Of course, some of this money was Scarface’s own.
Ever since Ye Ming made a name for himself with that battle, an eerie calm had settled over Hai City’s underground forces. No one dared to make a move, but everyone began recruiting soldiers and horses while simultaneously spending all they had to purchase Ye Ming’s Herbal Pills.
Some even said that they would take anything made by Ye Ming, no matter the effect.
