Capítulo 2279: Chapter 2279: Schemes from All Sides

As Ling Mingrui sighed with regret, several other people were also discussing matters related to today’s events.

“Unexpectedly, things have suddenly become so complicated,” an older man said to his son standing beside him, “It seems things aren’t as simple as we thought. This time, we may not gain any advantage.”

The middle-aged man next to the older man whispered, “Dad, I’ve been saying all along, that kid from the Luo Family isn’t easy to handle. His attitude towards Yan Shiliang today shows he’s already anticipated how things would develop.”

The older man nodded slightly, “I thought he was formidable before, but I didn’t expect him to be even more formidable than we imagined. He actually dared to use Ling Mingrui to fight for him.”

“Dad, he just wants to drag Ling Mingrui into the mess. Luo Xusheng is Ling Mingrui’s man, and now they want to get rid of Luo Xusheng, Ling Mingrui certainly won’t agree. Yan Shiliang and Wu Jiangshan are just two pigs!”

The older man shook his head, “Things aren’t that simple. These two have big ambitions. Haha, they’re not pigs!”

The middle-aged man opened his mouth, but in the end, didn’t ask.

He knew his father would surely continue speaking.

Sure enough, after sipping his tea, the older man said, “We might have overlooked one of the key figures.”

“Who? Li Haiyang?”

“No!” The older man shook his head, “The leader from Dragon Rise!”

“That woman named Phoenix?” The middle-aged man appeared quite surprised.

“Yes!” The older man nodded, “That woman isn’t a simple character. Her abilities are indeed impressive, but many in Dragon Rise are dissatisfied with her. This time, she’s tied her interests to Luo Xusheng’s.”

The middle-aged man listened, seemingly quite startled, “Are you saying she wants to use someone else’s hands to eliminate her rivals?”

The older man chuckled, “She’s taking a risk. If Ling Mingrui intervenes and shows toughness, those wanting to target her surely won’t meet a good end. In that case, her goal of eliminating dissent would be achieved. Moreover, her and Luo Xusheng’s interests would be completely aligned, and thus she leans on Ling Mingrui. If the outcome is indeed favorable to her, who could shake her position in Dragon Rise in the future?”

“Are you saying that woman named Phoenix is using Luo Ziling to do things?” The middle-aged man was even more astonished.

“You could say that, but Luo Ziling is also using this matter to fight for his own interests; everyone is just using one another.” The older man sneered, “That woman named Phoenix handled things very thoroughly, leaving no loose ends, yet her rivals feel there’s a lot of dirt on her. Haha, just wait and see, there will definitely be even more interesting developments. If I’m not mistaken, tomorrow Luo Ziling and Li Haiyang will certainly go to the inspection department voluntarily to cooperate with the investigation, that Phoenix woman will go too, and Ouyang Feifei will definitely go with them. Think about this, all these capable people coming together and exerting their force, what do you think the outcome will be?”

“If that’s really the case, then things will get lively. They can’t possibly be without a backup plan, moreover, they’ve set quite a few traps for people.” The middle-aged man chuckled, “Looks like Chen Ruchang will face setbacks again, he still hasn’t recognized the situation with his opponents.”

“No!” The older man shook his head, “Chen Ruchang didn’t expect his subordinates to be so ineffective. He also didn’t expect those whom he dismisses to be able to jump around so vividly. Not only did they set traps for him, but they also immediately launched a counterattack. Dragon Rise’s people, no matter what they do, instill fear. We will suffer too!”

At this point, the older man solemnly instructed the middle-aged man, “We can’t wade into this muddy water anymore, otherwise the losses will be greater. Keep your distance from Wu Jiangshan, and incidentally expose some of his dirty secrets. Around noon tomorrow, make some noise to support Ling Mingrui and Dragon Rise. In this battle, even though the Fang Family might not get a big piece of the pie, we should at least sip some broth. This broth is rich! Bringing down those two self-righteous guys who think they can play both sides is a good thing, saves them from causing more chaos.”

“Understood, Father!” The middle-aged man responded and prepared to leave, “Father, I’ll go and make preparations!”

“Go ahead!” The older man waved his hand.

But just when the middle-aged man was about to leave, the older man called him back.

“If there’s a way to marry Qianqian to that Luo person, think carefully about it. If that’s not possible, have Dongxun maintain close contact with him.”

“I understand!” The middle-aged man nodded and left quickly.

==========

Yang Family Old House.

Yang Yunlin was called to the old house by Yang Yuanshan, and the father and son were discussing matters in the study.

“You heard about today’s events, right?” Yang Yuanshan asked Yang Yunlin softly while sipping tea.

“Dad, I’ve heard!” Yang Yunlin couldn’t make out his father’s intentions, so he didn’t say much.

“Were you involved?” Yang Yuanshan looked sternly at Yang Yunlin, “Don’t hide anything, speak honestly.”

“I just returned from out of town, haven’t clarified anything, how could I be involved?” Yang Yunlin looked wronged, seeing his father’s disbelief, he explained further, “I’ve been busy with matters lately, wasn’t I just on a business trip to Binhai yesterday and just returned this afternoon. Besides, I don’t have the capability to plan such large-scale events, dealing with conflicts among several military bigwigs, am I capable of planning that?”

“I didn’t ask if you planned it, I just asked if you were involved!”

“No!” This time, Yang Yunlin denied directly without further explanation.

Yang Yuanshan didn’t inquire further, he believed what Yang Yunlin said.

“Good, if not, otherwise you’ll be making wedding attire for others again!” Yang Yuanshan sighed.

“Dad, what’s the specific situation? Who might be planning it?” Yang Yunlin asked cautiously.

Recently, his father was dissatisfied with him, so Yang Yunlin didn’t dare to appear too arrogant.

After all, his current influence can’t compare to his father’s.

And the fact that some of his own thoughts were seen through by his father further made him lose confidence.

“Someone wants to deal with Luo Xusheng and Luo Ziling, and as a result, they were counterattacked.” Yang Yuanshan chuckled, “If I’m not mistaken, it’s the trick of that old guy Chen Ruchang, and that old immortal Fang Xiang also got involved. Even, Chen Ruchang and Fang Xiang may have held secret discussions. But from the current look of things, those two old guys will suffer, let’s see how they wrap it up.”

Yang Yuanshan’s words shocked Yang Yunlin greatly.
