Urban Martial Saint

Little Liang said, ”I don’t know much about the matter between Jia Zhengze and Wang Lili. However, when Jia Zhengze used to come to Ye, I vaguely heard some of the conversation.”

At this point, Little Liang paused, looked at Ye Qing, and continued, ”The last time Jia Zhengze came to find Ye, he said that someone offered him a job that would pay him five hundred thousand upon completion. I don’t know what they were planning to do exactly, but after that, Wang Lili was deceived into coming here.

Later, my elder brother had a fall-out with Jia Zhengze over this and they fought, causing a lot of unhappiness.”

”Why did they fight?” Ye Qing asked sharply.

”I don’t know, but I heard Ye say something at that time...” Little Liang continued, ”He said that Fang Tian was not a good and honest person, and that his money wasn’t easy to take. He warned Jia Zhengze to be careful.”

”Fang Tian!” Ye Qing clenched his fists tightly, finally understanding who was behind this whole affair. He originally thought it was a joint effort by several corporations, but it turned out to be Young Master Fang from the school who had caused trouble.

This Young Master Fang, who last time forced Wang Tiezhu to attempt suicide by cutting his wrists, was now using similar tactics against Wang Lili, eventually driving her to commit suicide by jumping off a building. Such actions were truly outrageous!

It all became clear now. Four days ago, after making an enemy of the Lin family, Young Master Fang must have thought he saw an opportunity for revenge, starting with Wang Lili. He used Jia Zhengze to trick her into coming to Da Hong to borrow money, and then pressured her into selling her body here.

After that, Ye Qing struck back from the brink, captured international thief He Ziqiang, reconciled with the Lin family, and returned to Shenchuan City. Then, upon discovering Wang Lili, Young Master Fang feared Ye Qing would trace the clues back to him, so he began trying to destroy the evidence.

Jia Zhengze, Da Hong, Wang Lili – it looked like all three were dealt with by people sent by Young Master Fang. And that Chen He was definitely employed by Fang Tian.

Watching Ye Qing’s expression carefully, Little Liang spoke in a low voice, ”Ye, I know that our elder brother went too far this time. But after all, he is our elder brother, and it’s only right for us to avenge him. But how can a few of us fight against Fang Family’s people with our strength? We were really at our wit’s end, that’s why we thought of this strategy, to pass the information to you.

Originally, we wanted to let you find out about Fang Tian through Chen He gradually, so that Fang Family wouldn’t know we were involved and wouldn’t trouble us. But now that you’ve found me here, we’ll just have to grit our teeth and go through with it. That’s the situation, Ye, what are you going to do?”

Ye Qing didn’t respond to him, remaining silent for a while before standing up slowly and said to Xiao Ke sitting at the door, ”Let’s go.”

Xiao Ke immediately perked up, hurriedly following Ye Qing out.

Watching Ye Qing leave in Xiao Ke’s car from the window, a slow smile finally spread across the faces of Little Liang and the others.

”This Ye is really clever, actually managing to find this place!” Little Liang wiped off his cold sweat and said, ”But no matter how clever he is, he could never guess that all we were doing here was just putting on a show.”

”Quit your yapping, hurry up and tell him the story, and ask him for the money.” Another man said, ”This matter involves too many people; the four of us had better get out of Shenchuan City fast. Damn it, if we stay here any longer, we’ll probably end up getting into trouble like Da Hong!”

Little Liang nodded, took out his cellphone, and sent out a message—All went smoothly!

At the same time, in Qingyu Pavilion, the man under Shangguan Qing received the message and a cold smile crossed his face. He went straight upstairs and reported the matter to Shangguan Qing.

In fact, Little Liang and Xiao Ke were all his machinations. However, to guard against Ye Qing, he had arranged a plan within a plan. Once Ye Qing got the information he wanted from Little Liang, he didn’t delve any further because what he needed to consider next was how to deal with Fang Tian.

Upon hearing the man’s report, Shangguan Qing was delighted, nodding repeatedly, ”Well done, you did very well. Given Ye Qing’s impulsive nature, I think we’ll see a good show tonight. Fang Tian and Ding Shaoyan planned this together. If Ye Qing goes after Fang Tian, Ding Shaoyan won’t be able to avoid getting involved. I want to see how Ye goes up against Ding Family.

If it lures out the old bodyguard from Ding Family, hmph, even if East State Poisonous Mantis wants to protect him, there’s no chance of that happening!”

The man ingratiatingly said, ”Second Gang Leader, that old bodyguard from Ding Family is a legend in Shenchuan City. If he makes a move, even with Ye’s miraculous powers, he won’t escape death. I think we won’t even have to wait until tomorrow; Ye Qing probably won’t survive tonight!”

”That would be perfect!” Shangguan Qing laughed heartily, ”Send someone to keep a close eye on Ye, I want to see exactly what he will do.”

”Yes!” the man nodded, a cold smile on his face matching Shangguan Qing’s. They were certain that Ye Qing would inevitably confront the Ding Family and, by provoking that old bodyguard, his death was all but assured!

Ye Qing left Hongfei Road in Xiao Ke’s car and headed straight back to Tian Sheng, ordering Black Bear to give Xiao Ke five hundred thousand. Out of this amount, three hundred thousand were originally intended for Da Hong. But since Da Hong was killed in a car accident, the money was saved and given to Xiao Ke instead.

Xiao Ke simply could not believe that he was actually able to get his hands on such a large sum of money. Carrying the cash box, he felt as if he was floating, completely forgetting that he had been wrapped up in something serious.

”Take your girlfriend and leave Shenchuan City immediately, don’t come back within a month,” Ye Qing said gravely.

Xiao Ke nodded repeatedly and replied, ”Thank you, Ye, I’ll take her and leave Eastern Province right away. In three to five months, once things have settled down, we’ll come back!”

Ye Qing didn’t say anything else and gestured for him to leave.

Black Bear had just tucked the children into bed when he saw Ye Qing give such a large sum of money to Xiao Ke for no apparent reason. He couldn’t help but be curious and asked, ”Captain, why did you give him so much money?”

Ye Qing sighed and recounted Wang Lili’s story. After hearing it, Black Bear was nearly exploding with rage, punching the table furiously and exclaiming, ”That bastard Fang Tian, he could actually do something so heinous! Fuck his ancestors, is he even human? Captain, leave this to me; I’ll go twist this bastard’s head off!”

”Wait a second!” Ye Qing stopped Black Bear and slowly shook his head, saying sternly, ”We can’t rush into this.”

”Why can’t we rush?” Black Bear asked, puzzled. ”What he did deserves to die a thousand, ten thousand times over. Captain, we can’t let this kind of person off the hook, let me go kill him!”

”Wouldn’t killing him be breaking the law?” Ye Qing retorted. Ever since he was last wanted by the Shenchuan City police, Ye Qing had changed a lot. Many things couldn’t be done on impulse. No matter how strong you are, you can’t beat those families that have been operating in Shenchuan City for many years.

It certainly wouldn’t be difficult to kill Young Master Fang directly, but doing so would also give the Fang Family leverage to use the police force against them.

Black Bear was stunned, and after a while, he grudgingly said, ”So what do we do? Are we just going to let this animal roam free without punishment?”

Ye Qing replied, ”Contact Fang Cailiang and see how the Fang Family is going to handle this first.”

”What if Fang Cailiang denies everything?” Black Bear asked.

A chill flashed in Ye Qing’s eyes as he spoke with a serious tone, ”If he denies it, then we will resolve this matter our way!”

Black Bear looked at Ye Qing, excitement coloring his expression again. He knew that Ye Qing would absolutely not let Fang Tian off the hook. It was just that Ye wanted to first probe the intentions of the Fang Family. If the Fang Family chose justice over kinship and handed over Fang Tian to the police, that would be ideal.

But if Fang Family insisted on protecting Young Master Fang, then Ye Qing was ready to make enemies with the entire Fang Family. This was an approach of ’courtesy before force’.

When Fang Cailiang received the call from Ye Qing, he was surprised. However, after listening to what Ye Qing had to say, Fang Cailiang was utterly stunned. It took him a while to respond with a heavy tone, ”I was not aware of the matter you mentioned. Give me a day to investigate thoroughly and I’ll get back to you.”

After hanging up, Fang Cailiang immediately tried to call Fang Tian’s phone, but no one picked up. Burning with anger, he called his wife, Luo Caiyun, and finally got through.

Not sure if his wife Luo Caiyun was involved in the incident, Fang Cailiang pretended to know nothing and inquired about the Wang Lili’s suicide from Luo Caiyun. She spoke calmly, as if she truly knew nothing about it. However, when Fang Cailiang mentioned Ye Qing’s call, Luo Caiyun’s tone became distinctly anxious.

Fang Cailiang’s heart skipped a beat. Having lived with his wife for so many years, he of course understood her the best. The change in her tone indicated her mood was disturbed. That meant she not only knew about the incident but was also involved. In other words, everything Ye Qing said was true; his wife and son had collaborated on such a horrifying deed!

As he listened to his wife’s flawed defense of their son, Fang Cailiang sighed heavily and gritted his teeth, ”Luo Caiyun, you really have some nerve!”

”What... what’s wrong with me?” Luo Caiyun’s voice trembled. Truth be told, she was quite afraid of her overly stern husband.

”Do I need to remind you of what you’ve done?” Fang Cailiang said through gritted teeth: ”What on earth were you thinking? You’re an adult, don’t you know what you should and shouldn’t do? Forcing someone into prostitution, killing to silence them, driving someone to suicide – how could you commit such acts? Luo Caiyun, Luo Caiyun, you truly are a beast with a human face!”

Upon hearing this, Luo Caiyun got angry as well and retorted, ”What do you mean by that, Fang Cailiang? What’s wrong with what I did? I did all this to save our son, to help the Fang Family keep its only direct descendant. Oh, so everything is my fault, is it? Based on what you are saying, we should just hand your son over to the police to be executed, right?”
