CHAPTER 286: XIAO FEIYU TAKES ACTION

In a suburban villa, Xiao Feiyu quickly received a call from Xiao Qian.

“Boss, just as you suspected, that woman was protected. We didn’t even make a move before they spotted us, and our men have been taken away.”

Hearing Xiao Qian’s report, Xiao Feiyu wasn’t surprised; this was what he had expected. After all, both Jiang Ruoxi and Li Ziyu were not ordinary people, especially Li Ziyu, who was also Su Lin’s girlfriend.

Su Lin, in his eyes, was the protagonist, and the protagonist’s women would undoubtedly be protected. As for Jiang Ruoxi, it would only be a matter of time before she became Su Lin’s woman too.

Having read plenty of thrilling novels in his previous life, he was well-versed in such plots. In this world, any beautiful woman with a strong family background who came into Su Lin’s orbit, in his view, would inevitably end up with Su Lin. That’s why he had acted on Jiang Ruoxi before Su Lin could.

“Oh? Just as I expected. Did you send martial artists?”

Xiao Qian coughed slightly and then hesitantly said, “Our martial artists hadn’t even gotten out of the car before they were blocked; it looks like it was people from the 751 Bureau.”

Xiao Feiyu’s expression hardened. He had known for some time that Bai Qikun and Su Lin were involved, but he hadn’t expected their cooperation to extend to such lengths.

People from the prestigious 751 Bureau were protecting Su Lin’s women? Unless Su Lin was of significant value to the bureau, Bai Qikun wouldn’t engage in such activities.

But now he was out of time and had to act fast.

“Boss, should we continue the operation?”

“Continue. The arrow has been shot, and now that it’s been fired, we must proceed, Xiao Qian. The future path of the Xiao family hinges on these next few days,” Xiao Feiyu remarked solemnly.

Xiao Qian’s eyes widened in disbelief. Although he knew that the Xiao family was all in on this mission, he didn’t believe that they were gambling the entire family’s future.

After all, the Su family, despite their strength, were relatively new and couldn’t possibly compete head-on with the Xiao family.

“Immediately take the other guest martial artists and kidnap Jiang Ruoxi. If possible, take both women,” Xiao Feiyu commanded sternly.

Now that they had made their move, it had to be decisive. There was no longer any possibility of reconciliation with Su Lin. If there was a chance to also capture Li Ziyu, though it wasn’t ideal, it wouldn’t be a bad outcome.

Li Ziyu’s aloof beauty flashed through Xiao Feiyu’s mind; he had to admit, there were no plain women around Su Lin, each one was exceptional.

“Boss, are you coming in person?”

Xiao Feiyu’s tone carried a hint of mockery, “Otherwise? Are you going to handle it? Just wait, I’m arranging some things and will be right over.”

“Understood, Boss.”

After hanging up, Xiao Feiyu dialed Wang Yannian. Acting now was risky and rushed, but unfortunately, he was out of time.

“Hello, Feiyu, are you making your move now?” Wang Yannian’s voice came through the phone.

Xiao Feiyu chuckled bitterly. Wang Yannian, cunning and old, had already guessed his desperate circumstances. Su Lin’s slow-cooking strategy could smother him alive. He had to strike with full force to seize that slim chance of success.

“Yes, Ols Wang, I’m calling to ask you to handle something. Once it’s done, I can fulfill the promise I made to you.”

Wang Yannian’s breathing quickened. He had disregarded his reputation to help Xiao Feiyu for the sake of the Seven Revolutions Resurrection Pill formula, which was now within his grasp. But he knew this task wouldn’t be easy, as the person they were up against was Su Lin.

“Tell me what it is. If I can help, I definitely will,” Wang Yannian said calmly, having adjusted his mindset.

“I know you’ve brought back several big shots from the capital. I hope you can take them to deal with Su Lin. You know what I mean,” Xiao Feiyu stated flatly.

Wang Yannian did not agree outright but responded, “I’ll have to ask their opinion. They came at my invitation, but two of them are from the Liu family in the capital. Originally, they were willing to help, but now, because of your trip to the capital, you’ve botched things, so I can’t give you a definitive answer.”

Xiao Feiyu felt somewhat embarrassed; at that time, he had been desperate and then got played by Su Lin, forced by the Liu siblings to call off an engagement. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be in such a dire, passive situation now.

“Old Wang, I’ll leave it to you to handle this. If I go down, you won’t get what you want,” Xiao Feiyu stated bluntly. He was now all-in, beyond caring about the consequences.

“Okay, Feiyu, you’re really something. I’ll do my best.”

“Mhm, I’ll leave it to you, Old Wang.”

“Heh!” Wang Yannian scoffed. He was over fifty and hadn’t expected to be threatened by Xiao Feiyu, yet he could only be threatened by him.

Wang Yannian resolved that if this operation ended and Xiao Feiyu didn’t provide the complete pill formula, he would take decisive action against Xiao Feiyu. At that point, whether he got the pill formula or not would be irrelevant.

“Alright, I’ll go ask them.”

After hanging up, Wang Yannian went to the neighboring villa to consult with Zhao Changlin and the Liu brothers, Liu Bingsheng and Liu Kunlun.

Zhao Changlin agreed without hesitation, but as Wang Yannian expected, the Liu brothers immediately refused.

“Old Wang, we agreed to help you on this trip to sort things out, but that doesn’t extend to others.”

“That’s right, my thoughts exactly, Old Wang. We can’t assist with this matter.”

Zhao Changlin chuckled, “I’d actually like to see if this young talent is as incredible as you say.”

Wang Yannian sighed, “Could you two brothers consider it a favor for me?”

Liu Kunlun’s face turned cold: “If it weren’t for that marriage issue, not just one favor, we would be willing to help with ten. But Old Wang, Xiaowen has been nurtured and cherished by our Liu family since she was young, and to be manipulated by Xiao Feiyu like that… Now you want us to help him? We’re truly sorry. We can’t do it.”

Wang Yannian sighed deeply; although he had anticipated this outcome, he had still hoped to try, only to be rejected again.

“Alright then, I’ll make this trip with Changlin.”

“Okay, we’ll wait here at the villa for your news.”
