Everyone in the Group is a Main Character, Except Me Who's the Villain

162: Qin Xiao admits defeatThe Mu Family had deep roots in Chengdu, making it easy to investigate Wu Mingyuan’s information and whereabouts. Combined with Fang Ming and Vermilion Bird’s personal strength, they launched precise strikes against the Lu Family.

Ma Jiu’s main ability was using gu, and his personal strength was barely at the Initial Hidden Strength stage. Ambushed face-to-face by Fang Ming, who was at the Initial Transformation of Strength stage using the thousand illusions mask, he had no chance to fight back.

In just one encounter, his cultivation and limbs were crippled.

Looking at the information on his phone, Wu Mingyuan took several deep breaths, forcing himself to calm down.

He pulled out a silk handkerchief he carried with him and wiped the cold sweat from his temples. Although his movements still maintained the dignity of a butler, his slightly trembling fingers betrayed the panic in his heart.

The Master behind Mu Qingxue wasn’t just one person, but a mysterious and powerful force? A force that had a Grandmaster as a subordinate.

Such a force, when it moves, strikes with overwhelming force.

Lei Hong and Ma Jiu’s incidents were just a warning. If they remained stubborn, they would die?

”Uncle Wu, what’s wrong?”

Wu Mingyuan composed himself: ”Notify everyone immediately, cancel all subsequent arrangements, book a flight back to Beijing for tomorrow afternoon... no, the earliest flight available!!”

”What about... Young Master’s matter...”

”Young Master’s matter can wait until we return!” Wu Mingyuan interrupted him: ”If we stay in Chengdu any longer, we might not even keep our lives.”

If the opponent were just a Grandmaster expert, Wu Mingyuan might have been able to call in a few more experts from Beijing to surround and eliminate them.

But the opponent had a force with a Grandmaster as a subordinate. As an outsider, how could he contend with that?

If not now, when else would he run?

”Is it done?”

At Jinjiang Courtyard, seeing Fang Ming return and lie on the sofa, Ye Tian walked over and calmly poured him a glass of ice water.

Ye Tian was aware of Fang Ming’s actions; otherwise, Vermilion Bird wouldn’t have cooperated so well.

”Yes, it’s done.”

Fang Ming took the ice water and drank a sip: ”If they still don’t leave after this, we’ll have to find a way to deal with Wu Mingyuan and Lu Zhengnan.”

With the Storage Ring, his disguise speed had improved significantly, making things much more convenient than before.

Capturing the leader first wasn’t difficult for him.

Ye Tian also leisurely poured himself a glass: ”Generally speaking, this level of action is enough, but there are always those in this world who aren’t afraid of death.”

”Overthinking it now is useless; we can only wait for the outcome...”

Fang Ming stretched comfortably and looked around: ”Where’s Xiaoyu? Asleep?”

”She’s been asleep for a while.”

”Should we call Vermilion Bird back and go out for a drink?”

”Call Vermilion Bird? Aren’t you afraid of trouble?” Ye Tian said with a half-smile: ”Let’s order takeout and drink at home.”

Vermilion Bird had incapacitated so many surveillance Bodyguards in the past two days; it was inevitable that some might resort to official channels.

In other words, besides the Qin Family and Lu Family, the police might also be watching Vermilion Bird. If they found Fang Ming drinking with Vermilion Bird, Fang Ming would be in trouble.

”That works too!”

Having left Yunlan, separated from the Qin Family, and with the Lu Family matter waiting for results, Fang Ming now had nothing to do.

Having some barbecue and beer with Ye Tian felt quite pleasant.

However, what Fang Ming hadn’t expected was that his cooperation with Vermilion Bird in dealing with two experts from the Lu Family, originally intended to scare off the Lu Family, instead triggered a chain reaction from Qin Xiao’s side.

The next morning, in the Qin Group president’s office.

Qin Xiao stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the bustling traffic below, his face unusually grave.

He held a brief report that had just been delivered, simply recording last night’s events: Lei Hong being crippled, Ma Jiu being attacked, and Wu Mingyuan’s group hastily booking flights to leave.

”A Grandmaster... at least Grandmaster-level power is protecting the Mu Family,” Qin Xiao muttered to himself.

Although he had encountered some Cultivators due to his family business, and his father even had a few under his command, a Grandmaster... was simply not something an ordinary wealthy family could possess.

The foresight advantage from his rebirth seemed so pale and powerless in the face of absolute strength.

He could scheme against Chu Yao, scheme against Chu Feng, and even use the Zhao Family and Lu Family’s forces to suppress Mu Qingxue’s company... but how could he contend with a force that had a Grandmaster-level expert as a subordinate?

It was like an egg hitting a rock.

This realization made his chest tighten, but more than that, reason overcame hatred and ambition.

”Give up... at least for now.”

Qin Xiao slowly turned and sat back in his large office chair, quickly making a decision: ”Old Ghost, notify everyone to suspend all targeted commercial actions against Yunlan International. Also, prepare two equity transfer agreements: 10% each for Xingcan Media and Lanhai Technology.”

Old Ghost stood before the desk, slightly stunned by this order.

”Young Master Qin, you’re...”

”An apology.”

Qin Xiao coldly spat out two words, his face expressionless: ”Find a suitable intermediary to deliver these to Mu Qingxue. Say there were some misunderstandings before, and the Qin Family is willing to turn hostility into friendship. This gesture is to help Old Master Mu calm his nerves.”

Although it seemed on the surface that he hadn’t done anything against the Mu Family this time, the Mu Family wasn’t foolish.

From his perspective, his previous two actions against Yunlan were normal commercial suppression, so the Master behind the Mu Family hadn’t acted against him.

This time, their move against Old Master Mu clearly crossed a line. If Mu Qingxue pursued the Lu Family relentlessly, the Lu Family would definitely expose him.

Rather than being tracked down and held accountable, it was better to spend money to avoid disaster and take the initiative to show goodwill.

”Yes!”

Old Ghost received the order, didn’t dare say more, and hurried to prepare the contracts.

That afternoon around two o’clock, Wu Mingyuan, along with the severely injured Lei Hong and Ma Jiu, and his other subordinates, hastily flew back to Beijing.

At the same time, in the Yunlan president’s office.

Mu Qingxue looked at the two equity transfer agreements on her desk, still smelling of fresh ink, completely bewildered.

Qin Xiao’s sudden reconciliation and apology made her wary, but more than that, puzzled.

When something abnormal happens, there must be a trick.

”What is Qin Xiao up to now?”

Her first thought was that it was a scheme by Qin Xiao, but after having Yunlan International’s legal team review the contracts line by line countless times and finding no loopholes,

Mu Qingxue was confused.

”Could he really want to reconcile?”

She found it hard to believe, took out her phone, paused her finger over the period avatar for a few seconds, then quickly tapped in.

[Mu Qingxue]: ”Qin Xiao suddenly sent equity from two companies, saying it’s an apology to turn hostility into friendship. Did you do this?”

She sent the message and waited a while.

[.]: ”Don’t talk nonsense. I was sleeping soundly at home last night and didn’t do anything. (nose-picking.jpg)”

Mu Qingxue looked at the nose-picking emoji and couldn’t help but smile.

She hadn’t mentioned last night; this guy was confessing without being asked?

[Mu Qingxue]: ”Alright, I understand. (smirking.jpg) What about these shares... should I send them to you?”

[.]: ”Why send them to me? (surprised.jpg)”

[Mu Qingxue]: ”This is your credit, so of course they should go to you.”

[.]: ”I’m not interested in companies; they’re a bunch of trouble. Keep them for yourself to play with, or cash them out and donate them.”

[Mu Qingxue]: ”As a man, you’re not interested in money? What are you interested in then? (chin-in-hand.jpg)”

This time, the other side was silent a bit longer.

[.]: ”I’m interested in black stockings and beautiful legs. Want to take a few selfies for me to see? (wicked-smile.jpg)”
