Chapter 278

Chapter 278 Northern Tiger!

 

After dinner, Su Rui and Ye Binglan chatted for a while on the sofa before the latter reluctantly saw Su Rui to the door.

Ye Binglan clearly felt that when Su Rui stepped one foot out the door, the homely atmosphere in the room immediately faded significantly.

“Brother, why don’t you move in here? There are enough rooms, and staying in hotels all the time isn’t convenient,” Ye Binglan said after hesitating, unsure if her suggestion seemed too forward.

Su Rui clearly didn’t catch the deeper meaning in Ye Binglan’s words. He shook his head: “Recently, Lin Aoxue’s danger level has significantly increased. I’m eating and staying at the Lin family villa. As soon as her safety is secured, I’ll immediately move to your place.”

Ye Binglan knew about Su Rui’s mission, so she didn’t say more, though she still felt reluctant to see him go.

Su Rui opened his arms and said, “How about a goodbye hug?”

Ye Binglan was surprised. Usually she was the one to initiate, why had he changed his behavior?

Just as the sweetness began to rise in her heart, before Ye Binglan could react, Su Rui had already pulled her into his embrace.

Being held so tightly, Ye Binglan felt infinite warmth in her heart. However, at that moment, Su Rui lowered his head and whispered something in her ear.

…

Su Rui took the elevator down. Just as he was about to exit the building entrance, his entire person suddenly became a phantom!

From stillness to motion, instant acceleration!

Like a sprinting cheetah, he transformed into a blur, charging with thunderous momentum into the opposite building entrance!

If anyone had been standing nearby, they would have only seen a flash, absolutely unable to make out Su Rui’s figure!

His speed was simply at the extreme!

Li Huazhong was standing on the balcony, using binoculars to watch the building entrance, wanting to see which direction Su Rui would go.

However, after waiting several minutes, he still hadn’t appeared.

“Damn bitch, rejecting me so many times, yet entangling with such a bastard in her room!” Li Huazhong’s handsome face was filled with murderous intent, the man already on the edge of rage!

Though he was capable and shrewd, he was vindictive by nature. As a man, especially one with a petty and jealous disposition, he could never tolerate the woman he desired embracing another man!

When Li Huazhong thought about how Su Rui and Ye Binglan had stayed in the bedroom for two hours without coming out, his face became terrifyingly dark, feeling like he might explode! Anyone could guess what the two had been doing in the bedroom!

“Damn slut, when you fall into my hands, I’ll make you understand the consequences of betraying me!” Imagining Ye Binglan writhing beneath Su Rui, Li Huazhong wanted nothing more than to pull out a gun and blow Su Rui away!

The vicious expression this promising young man now displayed was completely different from his usual shrewd, sunny, and ambitious demeanor!

Ye Binglan had never accepted his pursuit, let alone betrayed him. But this man’s possessiveness was extreme – in his view, any woman he set his sights on must be his! If she didn’t accept him, it was betrayal!

An elderly man wearing an old-fashioned undershirt and loose pants stood behind Li Huazhong, his figure slightly hunched, looking no different from those old men who sit at the village entrance sunbathing.

However, this two-person combination with Li Huazhong seemed very strange.

“Young master, please calm down. Don’t let impulse ruin the big plan,” the old man said from behind, watching Li Huazhong’s rage with a flash of sharpness in his eyes.

This gleam was completely inconsistent with his age and appearance!

“Big plan? I’ve been waiting for this so-called big plan for many years. How much longer must I wait?” Li Huazhong said impatiently. “Master Yu, you’ve been by my side for so long, and when facing such situations, all you do is lecture. Can’t you help me vent my anger? Don’t you get angry seeing my woman in bed with someone else? With your excellent skills, aren’t you worried your bones will rust from disuse!”

The old man called “Master Yu” flashed a look, slightly lowering his head, but said nothing.

“Master Yu, my father placed you beside me to protect me, from when I entered the police academy until now,” Li Huazhong said coldly. “I just don’t understand why you’re so rigid. You won’t even help me teach someone a lesson? It’s just about taking a woman! Not murder!”

Master Yu raised his head and said, “Young master, this old servant has been by your side for so long. If you encounter danger, I will naturally intervene. But the master strictly instructed that everything must give way to the big plan.”

“Big plan, big plan, how many years have I been entangled by these words!” Li Huazhong said angrily. “My father told me to work hard to enter the Ninghai Police Department. I did it, became a deputy captain, worked diligently, got promoted quickly. What more do you want from me? I can’t even have the woman I like!”

By this point, Li Huazhong’s voice had unconsciously risen by several octaves. He laughed coldly: “Don’t think I don’t know how you all lived in your younger days! How many beautiful women did you ruin?”

Despite being scolded like this, Master Yu remained unmoved: “Young master, times have changed. We cannot measure the present by the past. The master has painstakingly planned for years, waiting to complete everything in one stroke recently. If anything goes wrong at this critical juncture, neither you nor I can bear the responsibility.”

“Responsibility, responsibility, always responsibility. I’m really sick of it!” Li Huazhong was already agitated by Ye Binglan’s rejection, and now after this lecture, he completely lost control!

“Master Yu, if you won’t help me, I’ll get Biao and the others to come!”

“Absolutely not.” Master Yu took a step forward, standing directly in front of Li Huazhong!

Just this simple action gave Li Huazhong the feeling of a mountain pressing down on him!

“Master Yu, are you rebelling?” Li Huazhong felt his breathing constricted by this pressure. After adjusting himself, his eyes began to fill with bloodshot.

That damn man had just left Ye Binglan’s room. If they intercepted him now, they could catch him perfectly. But why was Master Yu so stubborn!

“This old servant has always been loyal. How could I rebel?”

“Are you sent by my father to protect me or to monitor me?” Li Huazhong wanted to act but knew he was no match for this old servant, so he forcibly restrained himself!

“Young master, the master and others spent so much money and pulled so many strings to elevate you to your current position. You shouldn’t disappoint their efforts,” Master Yu’s voice remained calm as still water.

“Spent money to elevate me?” Hearing this, Li Huazhong became even more furious: “How high is my case-solving rate? How hard do I work? If they don’t promote me, who should they promote? My current position is entirely the result of my own efforts! It has nothing to do with you all!”

Master Yu was truly immovable: “Young master, whatever you say is right.”

Faced with such an unyielding character, Li Huazhong was completely helpless!

He turned to the refrigerator, took out a bottle of ice water, and gulped it down, not afraid of the cold, only afraid he couldn’t extinguish the flames in his heart!

“Young master, even now, don’t you understand the master’s plan?”

Master Yu said earnestly: “The master and all of us have fought in the underworld for a lifetime. The reason he still hasn’t let you take over gang affairs is because he doesn’t want you tainted by the underworld. He has lived in darkness his whole life; he wants you to live in the light.”

Hearing the words “he wants you to live in the light,” Li Huazhong fell silent, and the flames of his rage seemed to gradually extinguish.

“Young master, perhaps you think living in the underworld is good – free and unrestrained. But now the survival space for the underworld is shrinking. If we don’t transform, it will certainly be a dead end. That’s why the master sent you to the police academy.”

“Transform? A bunch of gangsters talking about transformation?” Li Huazhong sneered coldly: “Don’t think I don’t know that you still control the drug business in the three northern provinces! Eighty percent of the market share there is yours! For our Yuan Wei Gang to talk about transformation is premature!” Li Huazhong continued to sneer: “As for my father sending me to the police academy, it’s completely to control both the underworld and the law! Master Yu, you understand his ambition better than I do! Otherwise, he wouldn’t be dissatisfied with just the three northern provinces! And he wouldn’t have spent years planning to move south and occupy Ninghai!”

Li Huazhong’s words undoubtedly exposed a shocking secret!

The Yuan Wei Gang, which had dominated the three northern provinces, actually had ambitions to move south!

“Young master, you must not speak carelessly!” Master Yu’s previously calm demeanor suddenly showed anxiety when Li Huazhong said these words!

All actions were still in preparation, and now the arrow was on the string. If news leaked, all their efforts might be wasted!

“Why can’t I speak?” Li Huazhong shook his head, his face full of mockery: “Don’t think I don’t know what you’re planning. This time, China’s annual underground life-and-death fighting tournament is being held in Ninghai. As Ninghai’s underworld boss, Li Yang will definitely appear at the scene, and this is your best opportunity to eliminate him!”

Master Yu looked at Li Huazhong, his old face finally showing emotion, filled with shock! Before this, he had never told the young master about the plan, yet Li Huazhong had almost guessed it all!

“As the host, if Li Yang’s subordinates can’t win the championship, it would be like slapping his own face. Therefore, he will send many people to participate. You will arrange a group of experts to eliminate all of Li Yang’s subordinates, and when his strength is greatly reduced, you’ll strike for complete success! Am I right?”

Master Yu could hardly believe it, his voice dry: “Young master… how did you know?”

Li Huazhong laughed coldly: “Perhaps Master Yu will even personally enter the competition?”

At this point, Master Yu was too shocked to speak!

“Don’t forget, I’m the detective with the highest case-solving rate in all of Ninghai! No one has a keener sense than I do!” Li Huazhong sneered!

“Young master, regardless, please keep this secret. The master’s plan has been in preparation for many years, aiming to succeed in one stroke! If news leaks and Li Yang becomes aware, it would be terrible.”

“Would I leak information?” Li Huazhong said coldly: “It’s long past time to move south. My Wanyan clan should be ruling by destiny, yet we’ve been confined to the north for so many years. This time, I will make the name Wanyan Huazhong famous throughout the land!”

Master Yu immediately became anxious: “Young master, don’t speak rashly! Don’t speak rashly!”

Just at that moment, a tremendous noise suddenly came from outside. The heavy security door mysteriously flew up and crashed directly into the living room wall!
