My Silly, Sweet Wife

Shi Tou now not only knows Li Ruoxuan’s identity but also knows that Li Ruoxuan is a medical student at a prestigious university. If she pursued a career as a doctor, she would surely have a bright future.

In Shi Tou’s eyes, he greatly admires this kind of person.

However, upon learning that Li Ruoxuan wanted to give up all these honors to protect Li Bao, Shi Tou was deeply impressed.

”Sister Xuan, I’ve been following Brother Leopard since I was a teenager. Brother Leopard has always ensured that I have food to eat and has never let me go hungry. Now that Brother Leopard is in trouble, I would go through fire and water for him without hesitation,” Shi Tou said without a moment’s hesitation. ”Whatever you need, just say the word, and I will risk my life to avenge Brother Leopard!”

Li Ruoxuan, hearing this, revealed a grateful smile. ”Shi Tou, my brother certainly didn’t misjudge you. You should gather ten or so trustworthy people, tomorrow we are going to invite Zhao Wuji for a meal.”

”What? Zhao Wuji, Old Bald Zhao?” Shi Tou’s eyes flashed with a hint of horror. ”Is he involved in this?”

”Whether he’s involved or not, we’ll find out during the meal,” Li Ruoxuan had now calmed down. She knew that simply acting on impulse would not be enough to avenge Li Bao.

Nowadays, many people don’t know if Li Bao is alive or dead, and all his subordinates are in turmoil.

Just relying on herself, it would be hard to convince everyone.

Therefore, Li Ruoxuan wanted to stage a grand banquet.

If Zhao Wuji was indeed behind it, Li Ruoxuan would seek justice for Li Bao right then and there.

...

Zhao Wuji lay on his bed, feeling triumphant, as two beauticians massaged him.

Zhao Wuji had a look of enjoyment on his face.

Now that the threat of Li Bao was eliminated, the next step was finding a way to remind Ye Guichen so that he starts to rely more on him.

This was Zhao Wuji’s plan.

In the massage room, besides Zhao Wuji, there were four or five members from the Ye Alliance.

They were all comfortably lying on the beds getting massaged.

”Old Bald Zhao, you didn’t just call us here to enjoy massages, did you?” It was Li Wenle, nicknamed Mr. Li, who spoke.

Among these people, he was the most educated and also the most intelligent.

After being subdued by Ye Guichen, Li Wenle lost his ambition for power and focused solely on running his transport company.

This sudden call from Zhao Wuji made Li Wenle feel that something was up.

”Yes, Old Bald Zhao, we’re all working under Mr. Ye’s banner now. If there’s something, just say it straight. Don’t mess around with these pointless things,” chimed in Chen Ming, nicknamed Chen Quezi.

He used to operate a tower crane years ago. During an accident, he fell from over ten meters but miraculously survived, though he ended up with a crippled leg.

Despite his crippled leg, he managed to start an engineering project company and eventually opened a mechanical manufacturing plant. Due to Black Panther’s involvement in construction, he often collaborated with Black Panther.

Zhao Wuji didn’t even open his eyes and sighed, ”Have you heard? Black Panther got into a car accident.”

”What’s the big deal about a car accident? As long as he’s alright,” Chen Quezi said indifferently.

Every day, people get into car accidents, most of them only get a few scratches, and it’s rarely serious.

Zhao Wuji’s lips curled into an imperceptible smile, ”I’m afraid something really happened to him.”

”Something happened?” Chen Quezi was startled, ”What do you mean?”

”I heard that this time, Black Panther might not pull through,” Zhao Wuji said slowly.

”Dead?” Chen Quezi was shocked, but he understood Zhao Wuji’s implied meaning.

All things considered, his relationship with Black Panther was pretty good. Now that Black Panther had become Ye Guichen’s favorite, he also rose along with him and his status in Yun City showed hints of elevation.

If Black Panther had an accident at this time, he would gain nothing.

Zhao Wuji sat up, ”Chen Quezi, I know you have a good relationship with Black Panther, but Yun City is a big chessboard, and a single move affects every piece. Since we joined the Ye Alliance, we’re Mr. Ye’s loyal dogs. If we don’t want to be bullied, we need to unite together. You agree, right?”

Chen Quezi instinctively nodded, but then he realized something was wrong and also sat up, looking at Zhao Wuji, ”What exactly are you trying to say?”

Zhao Wuji narrowed his eyes slightly, ”My meaning is simple. I heard this accident is very serious, and Black Panther might have been set up. But Mr. Ye doesn’t care about these things. The urgent matter now is to quickly establish a new representative for Mr. Ye. Do you agree?”

Li Wenle frowned upon hearing this.

He understood Zhao Wuji’s intention to cause trouble.

However, he didn’t say anything, opting to wait quietly for Zhao Wuji to continue.

Chen Quezi, on the other hand, was straightforward, ”Does Mr. Ye know about this?”

Zhao Wuji shook his head, ”He probably doesn’t know yet.”

”Then we must inform Mr. Ye. If Black Panther indeed had an accident, Mr. Ye should decide the consequences,” Chen Quezi insisted.

”Haha, Chen Quezi, why are you getting so worked up?” Zhao Wuji laughed, ”Actually, I called you here today just to discuss matters. Now we are united. If Mr. Ye, who is very busy, later calls us, we’ll present him with a solution, right?”

Chen Quezi slapped his shiny forehead, seemingly realizing something, ”Old Bald Zhao, you want to take Black Panther’s place, right?”

”Haha, haha, Chen Quezi, your legs might not work, but you certainly haven’t lost your mind. Seems it’s still quite sharp,” Zhao Wuji lit a cigarette and glanced at Li Wenle, ”Mr. Li, you haven’t said anything, what’s your opinion?”

Li Wenle forced a laugh.

Since Zhao Wuji’s first words, he had guessed Zhao Wuji’s intentions.

However, he chose to stay out of it.

There was no necessity to stand out at this moment.

Moreover, he knew a fact better than anyone: even if everyone supported Zhao Wuji, if Ye Guichen disagreed, all efforts would be in vain.

Ye Guichen could veto everything with just his power.

Therefore, in Li Wenle’s eyes, Zhao Wuji’s actions were self-destructive.

He might think that by getting everyone on his side, he could stay safe, but if Ye Guichen didn’t want it, all of Zhao Wuji’s efforts would be wasted.

But Li Wenle certainly wouldn’t be foolish enough to say this out loud.

”Haha, Boss Zhao, as long as everyone agrees, I have no opinion.” Li Wenle said, wrapped himself in a bath towel, ”Once you have discussed and come to a conclusion, just let me know. I’m going to take a bath; I’m too tired from my recent shipment run. Ah, I’m getting old, not what I used to be.”

Saying this, Li Wenle walked out.

”Humph, sly old fox!” Watching Li Wenle’s back, Chen Quezi cursed quietly, then turned to Zhao Wuji, ”Old Bald Zhao, let me call Black Panther first. If something really happened, we’ll talk then.”
