Chapter Ninety-One: No Discussion Needed (Sixth Update)

Yang Fan and Lin Ruo stood to one side. The rest of the men were kneeling on the ground, too terrified to move. Two bodies lay there as well—one still bleeding, the other already sprawled lifeless on the earth.

As for how to deal with the driver and the secretary, that was Jiang Huai’s family affair.

“Have I not treated you well? Why did you betray me?”

“Mr. Jiang, we...”

Jiang Huai waved a hand. He no longer wanted to hear any explanation. Truly, to be betrayed by the people he trusted most—he did not even have the heart to rage.

That was disappointment.

“You wanted me dead, didn’t you? I’m not as ruthless as you. I’ll give you one chance. Whether you live or die will be up to heaven.”

“Mr. Jiang, please forgive me. You know I’ve always liked you!” The female secretary pleaded at once.

As for the driver, he was utterly dazed, bereft of his soul. The matter was too grave. If it were him, he would not forgive either.

“There’s a cliff ahead. Jump. Live or die—that’s for you to decide.” Jiang Huai ignored the secretary clinging to his leg, unmoved.

This could not be forgiven, because they had wanted his life.

“Mr. Jiang, please spare me. Truly, I’ve always liked—”

Jiang Huai’s expression changed abruptly. He kicked her away and snapped, “Your liking means wanting me dead?”

“Mr. Jiang, I’m begging you!”

“Throw them down!” Yang Fan pointed at the people kneeling on the ground and shouted. What had happened between this female secretary and Jiang Huai hardly needed guessing.

But that so-called liking had actually become an attempt on his life.

None of them dared disobey. They dragged the two of them toward the cliff.

“Mr. Jiang, Mr. Jiang, please spare me!”

“Mr. Jiang...”

Their cries echoed out, then they were hurled into the abyss.

Lin Ruo shot Yang Fan a hard glare, as if to say, See that? Are lovers reliable? Go ahead and be reckless.

A living example indeed.

Even Yang Fan felt a chill run down his back. He walked over and patted Jiang Huai’s shoulder. They were all men burdened by hardship.

“Boss, can we go now?”

“Do you think you can go?” Yang Fan kicked him at once. Were you here to make a joke?

You were trying to take our lives!

“Boss, spare us. We were only following orders. This really has nothing to do with us!”

“You think I’m an idiot, don’t you? Fine, I won’t waste words.”

Lin Ruo directly took out the poison and made them each swallow one pill.

“Take this, then become Mr. Jiang’s bodyguards. If any of you dare betray him, this poison will kill you. So think carefully: do you want to die now, or take the poison?”

“We’ll take it!”

The eight of them no longer hesitated and swallowed it at once.

Anyone with even the faintest chance of living would fight for it. That was human nature.

“Then call your boss and tell him that you’re defecting to Mr. Jiang Huai. Tell him to get lost and stay wherever he’s cool.”

“Yes, yes, we’ll call!”

Yang Fan made him put the phone on speaker. On the other end, Feng Li was raging like a madman, and one could even hear Jiang Bo shouting curses. Jiang Huai was nearly ready to curse as well, but seeing Yang Fan’s hand signal, he held himself back.

After the call ended, fear had been branded deeply into those men’s hearts, especially when they looked at Lin Ruo’s icy eyes.

Yang Fan made them step aside, took out the corpse-dissolving powder, and wiped away the two bodies completely. He then cleaned up the blood, and the three cars began descending the mountain.

“Yang Fan, sister-in-law, thank you both this time. Truly.”

“What nonsense are you saying? We’re brothers. There’s no need to be so polite.” Yang Fan said. In truth, there was a deeper meaning behind his words: an act repays an act. Jiang Huai had given him two beautiful wives; saving his life was only right.

After they came down the mountain, one car returned to bring Jiang Huai’s vehicle over, and Lin Ruo continued on.

“Let Jiang Bo live for now,” Yang Fan said. “Killing him would be easy, but I want to use him to draw out the people behind him. They’re the real threat.”

Jiang Huai nodded. The snake hidden in the dark was truly frightening. If Jiang Bo were removed too early, that lurking serpent might simply retreat into the shadows and strike with a deadly blow at some unknown time.

When cutting weeds, one must uproot the roots.

Meanwhile, after Zhang Chen and the others left the main road, they could not even be bothered to borrow a car. They simply took a passenger coach. Traveling by highway was faster; in another hour, they would reach South Sea City.

Ajiu and Scar were already waiting at South Sea City’s coach station. Once Liu Haoyu and the others got off, they would take them to the resort.

“Hello, Yun’er.”

Yang Fan was video-chatting with Wang Yun. Jiang Huai found it rather speechless. Right in front of your wife, you’re bold enough to video-chat with your lover.

Now he knew just how ruthless Lin Ruo could be when she turned cold, and Yang Fan really did dare to openly keep a lover. Was he not afraid Lin Ruo would deal with him at night?

“With whom? With Lin Ruo! Yes, the one behind me is my brother.”

Jiang Huai gave an awkward smile and waved at Wang Yun, counting it as a greeting.

“When I get to South Sea City, I’ll buy you a present,” Yang Fan said.

“Do you have money?”

“Yes. Lin Ruo is right here; she’s holding the money.”

Jiang Huai smacked his lips. Making your wife buy gifts for your lover—had your brain short-circuited?

Of course, Yang Fan was still chatting with great enthusiasm, and they talked for a full half hour before hanging up.

“Lin Ruo, can I discuss something with you?” Yang Fan asked.

“Say it.”

“When we get to the resort, give me some money. I want to buy Wang Yun a gift,” Yang Fan said.

“Do you think I will?”

“Yes, of course you will. You’re the main wife, and she’s the youngest. Shouldn’t you treat her a little better?”

“Why should I treat her well? That’s your own mess!”

“Then tonight let’s discuss it properly.”

“No discussion!”

Yang Fan was miserable. Ever since Lin Ruo had taken control of the family finances, he was finished.

In the past, he could still get Liu Haoyu to transfer a little over. But since he had rented Lin Ruo a financial management device, transfers were out of the question.

As for cash, with just a thought from Lin Ruo, all the money on his person could be pulled into her ring.

She could also monitor linked finances, and Yang Fan was watched far too closely.

With Lin Ruo refusing to yield, he could not even borrow money. Even if he did, it would be as good as useless.

“Really, I don’t need much. Just buy Yun’er a villa, then a car, and then...”

“Why don’t you just give her all your property?” Lin Ruo said.

“I would love to, but aren’t you the one forbidding it?” Yang Fan muttered under his breath.

“What did you say? Believe it or not, I’ll throw you off!”

Yang Fan immediately fell silent. He realized he really could not talk about these things in the car with Lin Ruo. If she dropped him here, she would genuinely do it.

Jiang Huai sat in the back with his eyes closed, resting. He did not dare take part in Yang Fan’s domestic affairs. The circles of the wealthy were truly a mess.

Yang Fan and the others arrived at the resort at one in the afternoon. Zhang Chen and the others had already arrived. When Jiang Huai saw that Bai Tiantian was safe and sound, he was truly grateful to Yang Fan.

If not for Yang Fan and Lin Ruo, who knew what might have happened to him and Bai Tiantian today.
