661: Chapter 657: Defection 661: Chapter 657: Defection “Chairman Lu?

He and Sister Zhou, being in Cold Water River City, must also be well-known figures!

I couldn’t have imagined it!”

Lin Tian stood in a secluded corner under the eaves of a villa rooftop, surrounded by trees, muttering to himself as he observed the situation inside and outside the villa.

“It’s just that, in seeking to avenge their daughter by killing Zheng Yunqiu, they might be putting themselves in danger!

But it seems for the sake of revenge, they might have already disregarded their own lives!”

Watching the hired thugs lying in ambush around the villa, Lin Tian sighed to himself.

Not only around the villa complex, but on all four sides outside Vajra Mountain, several groups of men in vehicles were parked in concealed spots along the road.

Lin Tian’s Divine Sense spread out, seeing weapons either on them or in their vehicles.

From this situation, it was clear that Vajra Mountain couldn’t avoid a shootout today.

However, the group led by Lv Wenbing stepping inside seemed unaware that they were surrounded and fully armed, ready to strike at any moment!

At that moment.

In the villa’s grand hall, there was a harmonious atmosphere, with continuous sounds of greetings.

“Elder Zheng!”

Everyone in the hall, seeing Zheng Yunqiu walking in, got up to greet him.

And those following him, including Lv Wenbing and others, also started warmly greeting everyone with smiles.

“Mr.

Meng!”

“Chairman Duan!”

“Elder Chen!”

…

In the villa’s grand hall, everyone exchanged pleasantries.

Laughter roared intermittently.

Shortly after.

Guests and hosts settled into their respective places in the hall.

Zheng Yunqiu, sitting in the central seat prepared for him, scanned the people present and laughed heartily, “This gathering was decided by both me and Chairman Lu and others!

The main purpose is for all of us here to sit together, and discuss the major enterprises of River North.

If this endeavor succeeds, we must thank Chairman Lu!”

Hearing this, the crowd exchanged glances and whispered among themselves before many lifted their heads to give many polite words of thanks to Lv Wenbing and others.

“Over these years, our River North, compared to the bustling River South, has seen a gradual decline!”

When everyone quieted down, Zheng Yunqiu spoke loudly again, “So, after a private discussion with Chairman Lu and others, we feel that we, who hold sway in River North, should work together cooperatively in various industries, seek common ground, and jointly develop to revitalize River North!”

“Elder Zheng’s suggestion is excellent, like my transportation business, which requires more cooperation with others for shipments out of the province, or else often times the vehicles run empty…”

“Exactly, if we don’t seek cooperation, we’ll be suppressed by those from River South sooner or later…”

…

Soon, in the grand hall of the villa, everyone discussed and brainstormed ways to cooperate.

But not long after, someone voiced a concern, “Elder Zheng, if Elder Xiang from River South learns about our gathering, wouldn’t that be problematic?

If that old man gets unhappy, Cold Water River City might get shaken up!

I’m afraid he might come after us!”

“Hah, Xiang Tonghe isn’t foolish enough to go that far!

We may not resist him, but if he suppresses us, he’ll also suffer losses; it’ll be tough for him as well!”

Zheng Yunqiu snorted and coldly joked, “But, once we develop, we needn’t worry about that old fox’s mood anymore…”

Hearing this, everyone nodded.

Xiang Tonghe?

That must be Elder Xiang previously mentioned by Lv Wenbing and Zhou Zhiyao?

And his granddaughter’s disappearance is connected to Zheng Yunqiu?

Lin Tian, privy to the behaviors and conversations of everyone in the grand hall, was surprised when people mentioned Xiang Tonghe.

Meanwhile, his Divine Sense scanned the Vajra Mountain villa complex once again, yet detected no abnormalities.

However, quickly, Lin Tian’s Divine Sense noticed in the basement of a house on the western edge of Vajra Mountain, a young girl tied to the head of a bed, her mouth sealed with duct tape.

Her eyes were red, her hair disheveled, and she sat there with a vacant expression and traces of fear still evident on her face.

Clearly, she had struggled before, but it was to no avail, and now she was tired.

Or perhaps, thinking she couldn’t escape, she seemed somewhat resigned, with a dazed look in her eyes.

However, Lin Tian was quietly relieved to see that the girl was unharmed; there were no signs of beating or violation on her body.

“She is probably the granddaughter of Xiang Tonghe…”

Lin Tian muttered to himself quietly but did not move to rescue her.

He wanted to see what Lv Wenbing was planning to do next.

Sure enough, Lv Wenbing suddenly stood up and walked out.

“Elder Zheng, didn’t you say last time that you wanted to get some antiques and raw stones to decorate this villa?” he said to Zheng Yunqiu with a slight bow, smiling.

“Oh?

Bring them in and let’s have a look!”

Zheng Yunqiu’s eyes lit up, and he urged eagerly.

Lv Wenbing was about to turn around and fetch them himself, but at that moment, Qin Deng volunteered, taking two others with him to personally bring in the items.

However.

Since antiques are very precious and easily damaged, Qin Deng and Wuzi personally drove two cars to the villa entrance.

Eventually, after Lv Wenbing arrived in his car, they tinkered with something in the back of the car before unloading several pieces of antique calligraphy and paintings, vases, and some raw stones the size of washbasins with beautiful patterns on them.

They then moved the items into the villa’s main hall before Zheng Yunqiu.

“Ha ha…

Not bad at all!

All genuine!”

Zheng Yunqiu fiddled with the antiques in front of him and caressed the highly ornamental raw stones, laughing loudly, very pleased and nodding in satisfaction.

“He he…

Zheng Yunqiu, as long as you’re happy!

Now, you can die!”

Suddenly, Lv Wenbing let out a cold laugh, stood up, pulled a gun from behind his back, and held a remote control button in his other hand.

At the same time.

Zhou Zhiyao also held a weapon and remote control button, standing to one side, staring icily at Zheng Yunqiu.

Seeing this setup, many people in the villa’s main hall gasped in terror, all retreating toward the corners.

Having a gun was one thing, but both of them holding remote controls made it obvious that somewhere in the villa or nearby, there were installed terrifying explosives!

But.

Zheng Yunqiu showed no signs of panic on his face; instead, he lifted his head and sneered, “What, trying to avenge your daughter?

Everyone knows it.

It was your own interference that harmed your daughter!

Now, if you take away all this stuff, I’ll pretend nothing happened!”

“Die!”

Lv Wenbing’s eyes turned red with anger thinking of his daughter, and with a click, he pulled the trigger of his weapon.

On the side, Zhou Zhiyao also fired her gun.

However.

All that was heard was the crisp clanging of the mechanism, but no bullets flew out.

Empty chamber!

Lv Wenbing and Zhou Zhiyao’s expressions drastically changed.

But they had a backup plan and simultaneously pressed the buttons on their remote controls.

The explosives they had prepared were hidden in both the car and the antiques and raw stones in front of them.

Yet, when they pressed the buttons, still all was silent, no response.

“They’re all fake!

Brother Bing, those who sold us these have a problem!”

Zhou Zhiyao suddenly realized, urgently said, “Let’s just kill him directly!”

“Adeng, Wuzi, take action!”

Lv Wenbing gritted his teeth and yelled at Qin Deng and Wuzi, at the same time drawing a dagger that glinted coldly from his body.

However, Qin Deng and Wuzi, standing aside, did not move, just looked on with cold smirks.

“Hehe, don’t bother, the goods you got were arranged by Qin Deng and Wuzi, and those sellers were arranged by me!”

Zheng Yunqiu turned back around to sit down, smiling as he looked at Lv Wenbing and Zhou Zhiyao, his face gradually filled with a murderous and chilling expression.

“You actually betrayed us!”

Lv Wenbing suddenly turned his head, his gaze falling on Qin Deng and Wuzi, ultimately noticing Geng Jianmian and Lai Zixiong, who had also moved to Zheng Yunqiu’s side.
