Chapter 315: Another Smart Conspiracy!
The three day holiday in the outskirts had helped Shanguan Ning relax totally. On the morning of the fourth day, she and Jing Yichen went back to the city.
Compared to the leisurely pace of the countryside, the city was bustling and stressful.
Although Shangguan Ning liked the pure and simple atmosphere of the countryside, she didn’t cower down in front of the stress and compet.i.tion of the city. She was not a woman who bent or bowed down. After years of competing with Shangguan Rouxue, she had always found herself on the losing side. But she never gave up on anything except for Xie Zhuojun.
At that time, she was not very pleased by her defeat. But she had no plan of getting him back to her side anyways.
He was not worth her attention post that.
After tidying herself up, Shangguan Ning changed her clothes and went to the company while Jing Yichen went to the hospital.
“Master Jing, Tang Yun is a very complicated person.”
The moment Jing Yichen entered Mu Qing’s office, Mu Qing said this furiously to him.
Zheng Jing and his sister Zheng Lun were there too. He looked at Zheng Lun. “Lun, go out with Anan.”
Zhao Anan knew that they were going to discuss something important. Although she was very interested in what they were talking about, she still dragged Zheng Lun out of the office.
After Zhao Anan and Zheng Lun left, Jing Yichen said to Mu Qing, “Cure her first. Don’t let her develop any complications.”
He didn’t want Tang Yun to run into any trouble before everything was clarified. He wanted to make sure that she was not injured again.
“Okay. She is fine and will be fully cured after a few days’ rest.”
“Also, don’t let Anan and Zheng Lun get close to her or hurt her, in case they run into danger later.”
Tang Yun was a fierce woman and that hadn’t changed during the past decade. She was getting more and more aggressive. Zhao Anan may have won now but she will run into trouble later.
As they were talking, there was a knock at the door. Tiger walked in and said in a low voice, “Master, Lee Duo has found the missing brothers in America, they are all… dead!”
Jing Yichen’s pupils flared and knuckles turned white. He said in a cold voice, “Check everything out properly. I want to see who it is that dared to touch my men!”
His men had been by his side for years and were his loyal brothers. But now they were all gone.
Jing Yichen was more shocked and angry than he looked!
All of them died had because of Tang Yun.
He hadn’t lost so many men at one go, during so many years.
He pressed down the anger inside his heart and started to ask Zheng Jing and Mu Qing about the information which they had extracted out of Tang Yun.
They discussed and a.n.a.lyzed the information for a long time but Jing Yichen couldn’t stay calm any more.
He was not a man easily swayed by emotions. No matter how big the incident was, he could adjust himself well within a short period of time.
He got up and said softly, “Tiger, release Tang Yun. No more treatment for her. You don’t need to follow her in the following week. We will make our move when the man behind her lowers his guard.”
Tiger knew that his master was going to make Tang Yun the bait.
Jing Yichen strode out of the office and went to the ward where Tang Yun was staying.
In the ward, Tang Yun looked extremely pale. Her long hair was gone and she was now a bald woman with a thick layer of gauze over the head. Mu Qing asked someone to get her head bound up after he noticed her injuries.
She looked a bit messy but there was no remorse in her eyes. Instead, they were twinkling in antic.i.p.ation.
Seeing Jing Yichen coming, she had tears trickling down her cheeks as she said in a wronged tone, “Brother Yichen, finally you are here! I thought that you never wanted to talk with me any more… I am so scared when you are not with me. They all bullied me and Anan shaved off my hair. I am so ugly now. I am not even fed well here, please release me, alright? I will not cause you trouble any more in the future, and I will obey you! Please…”
Before she could finish the word, Jing Yichen said coldly, “Who are you?”
Tang Yun paused and got startled as she started to shed tears again. “What is wrong, Brother Yichen? I am Tang Yun! Please, don’t look at me like this. You know who I am, who else can I be? You know that pretty well.”
“The men I sent with you could prevent you from coming back, but they never restrained your freedom. They were there to protect and obey you. Now they are dead, all 47 of them. You better give me an explanation.”
Jing Yichen got very fierce and intimidating, cornering her with his words.
Tang Yun s.h.i.+vered. She struggled to sit up and leaned against the head of the bed as she cried. “Brother Yichen, I really don’t know about it. Jing Yiran helped me with my return. Oh yes, he must have killed those men. I have nothing to do with it. How could I possibly kill them? They had simply fainted when I left. They were not dead.”
That was what Zheng Jing had gotten out of Tang Yun when she was half-awake.
But Jing Yichen didn’t believe that.
Although Jing Yiran had caused the death of many of his men, yet their years of fight against each other had led to a tacit agreement. Only juniors would be dead in the fight and the leaders always survived. That was also what Jing Zhongxiu demanded, otherwise their forces would have diminished and be bad for Family Jing to fight against the outsiders.
This time, the leader was Li Yong, the third major follower of Jing Yichen and he was dead too.
Jing Yiran was indeed a cruel man and had never followed any principles. He used all methods to do anything but he rarely disobeyed Jing Zhongxiu.
Just like Jing Yichen, he had no strong father and son relations.h.i.+p with Jing Zhongxiu. But he respected him a great deal and regarded him as his role model. Jing Yichen might disobey what Jing Zhongxiu said sometimes, but Jing Yiran always obeyed him.
Jing Yiran was indeed involved in this matter, but he didn’t kill those 47 men. Atleast he didn’t kill them all.
Someone else did it so that he could hate Jing Yiran even more and the two brothers could fight each other fiercely and irrationally.
Jing Yichen was certain that the person behind this incident was the same one behind Zhang Rong’s death. It was the best planned conspiracy Jing Yichen had ever run into so far.
The rival was cautious and discreet. He was taking advantage of all conflicting angles to suit his purpose.
