Capítulo 1224: Chapter 1224
Mr. Cheng slumped in his wheelchair, his eyes vacant, muttering that it was impossible.
Seeing the situation turning sour, Lin Haoyu tried to escape, but was kicked down by one of Jin Tuantuan’s n.
Zhang Yang looked at the leader, Maozi, “There’s nothing more for you here. The evidence of the instigator behind the East River Hospital incidents has already been sent to your superiors.”
“If you don’t want to be disciplined, you should leave.”
The Mao team mbers looked at each other incredulously, not quite believing Zhang Yang’s words.
But then the leader, Maozi, suddenly lowered his head, staring at his phone screen, as if receiving so news, and his face instantly showed a hint of nervousness.
He quickly said, “Zhang Yang, it seems we’ve truly misunderstood you.”
“I apologize to you!”
Zhang Yang did not want to bicker with them, so he waved them off. The captain smiled embarrassingly and then ordered his team to withdraw!
Lin Haoyu was left behind, and Mr. Cheng was forcibly pushed back to the villa by Cheng Tianming.
In the Cheng Family villa living room, the atmosphere was as heavy as frozen ice.
Cheng Tianming sat on the sofa with his hands buried deep in his hair, while Cheng Yue silently handed him a cup of warm water, her gaze complex.
Lin Haoyu was tied to a dining chair, a towel stuffed in his mouth, making muffled sounds.
Jin Tuantuan and Xia Xue stood guard at the door.
Cheng Yue finally spoke, “Dad, grandpa he…”
Cheng Tianming lifted his head, eyes bloodshot: “Your grandpa… was deceived by Wang Jiu all his life.”
Back then, when your grandpa was young, he thought he was saving a destitute herb gatherer, not expecting to invite a wolf into the house.
Qingyi Sect’s Wang Jiu lured your grandpa with the Soul Resurrection Grass, claiming it could revive his prematurely deceased wife, later using the Cheng Family crisis to force him to agree to a marriage alliance.”
Zhang Yang frowned, “Does the Soul Resurrection Grass really have such magic?”
Cheng Tianming shook his head, “I don’t know, but Wang Jiu spoke convincingly and even produced supposed experintal data.”
“My father, in his old age, was muddled and believed it.”
Speaking, Cheng Tianming looked at Lin Haoyu again, “Actually, the Lin Family acted the sa way. Mr. Lin, hoping the Soul Resurrection Grass could heal his long-sick mother, agreed to cooperate with Wang Jiu.”
Lin Haoyu was greatly shocked, unable to believe it, yet knowing Cheng Tianming’s character.
He imdiately struggled, eyes filled with fear and regret.
“What do we do now?” Xia Xue asked.
“Xiao Man is still in their hands, and Qingyi Sect could retaliate at any mont.”
Jin Tuantuan played with a dagger, “It’s simple, use the Soul Resurrection Grass to trade for Xiao Man. Isn’t that what they want? Make a deal.”
Zhang Yang nodded, “I think so too, but we need a reliable interdiary.”
At this mont, Jin Tuantuan had a sudden brainwave, “I have soone in mind.”
Zhang Yang also laughed, “I also thought of soone, we probably both thought of the sa person.”
Imdiately, the two said in unison, “Uncle Long!”
Unable to resist, Xia Xue said, “Uncle Long is too cunning, will he help?”
Zhang Yang laughed, “Precisely because he’s shrewd, and he surely wants the Soul Resurrection Grass too, so he’ll definitely help. He might even muddy the waters and grab the item while fleeing.”
Then Zhang Yang imdiately called Uncle Long.
He should have known better than to let that guy go earlier.
The call connected quickly, but this ti Uncle Long sounded much tougher than when he was in their custody.
“Zhang Yang? How co you thought to call again, are you planning on joining to explore that clock factory again?”
Zhang Yang hadn’t expected this guy to still be hanging onto it.
“You an you’re still there?”
“Isn’t that obvious? Since I found this place with difficulty, unlike you who easily give up?” Uncle Long said, agitated.
Zhang Yang couldn’t help but tease, “No worries, this way, if there are benefits, you’ll get them all by yourself. No one to compete with you, right?”
Uncle Long paused on the other end, and then dropped the act, saying directly to Zhang Yang, “If you trust , co over, and we’ll explore together.”
“I’ve already lost ten brothers inside; the danger below is more severe than the East River Hospital.”
Zhang Yang couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh, “Are you trying to send to die for you?”
Uncle Long laughed too, “Zhang Yang, you called , it must be because you want sothing from , right? In that case, we have sothing to discuss.”
Zhang Yang frowned slightly; this guy was really unyielding.
Still, Zhang Yang was disinclined to argue, so he said to Uncle Long, “I want you to be an interdiary, tell Qingyi Sect’s Sect Leader Wang Jiu, that if they want the Soul Resurrection Grass, they should exchange it for Xiao Man.”
Uncle Long heard this and instantly flew into a rage.
“Do you know how precious that thing is? You just say exchange, I won’t agree.”
Laughingly, Zhang Yang replied, “I’m the one holding the item, what right do you have to refuse?”
“Are you helping or not?”
After thinking for a mont, Uncle Long said to Zhang Yang, “I can help, but I have conditions. Let’s explore the clock factory first, maybe there’s a pleasant surprise below, then you won’t have to sacrifice the Soul Resurrection Grass for a trade.”
“I have a feeling that what’s beneath the clock factory will give us a big surprise; otherwise, Qingyi Sect wouldn’t be so anxious to make you leave.”
Truth be told, Zhang Yang was also intrigued by the clock factory.
However, he wouldn’t gamble Xiao Man’s life for safety, knowing that if Qingyi Sect noticed, it would be a great loss.
Thus Zhang Yang refused once again, making Uncle Long genuinely angry.
“Not this way, neither that way, why should I help you?”
Clearly, Uncle Long intended to ignore Zhang Yang’s request.
Smirking, Zhang Yang said, “Because we can cooperate; listen, I don’t want to give Qingyi Sect the item either.”
“But if you cooperate, help save Xiao Man, the item isn’t impossible to give to you.”
Zhang Yang said this as he thought Qingyi Sect would not willingly return Xiao Man.
What Zhang Yang valued was Uncle Long’s knowledge of Qingyi Sect, far surpassing many others.
Zhang Yang even suspected that Uncle Long might have been a key mber of Qingyi Sect in the past.
If so, everything would make sense.
Uncle Long didn’t expect Zhang Yang to propose cooperation.
“Kid, you’ve got guts, like when I was young.”
“For that, I’ll help you; how do you want to do it?” Uncle Long asked.
“Let’s set a ti and place to et for detailed discussion. But if you dare trick again, I won’t be polite anymore,” Zhang Yang warned.
