As long as they have a chance, they will pursue the individual and capture him.
They had Yun Xi to thank for forcing Han Hongbin out of the detention center. If the Han family had not been in flames, Han Hongbin would not have bothered to budge.
The family had been strong as a result of his many years of hard work, as well as his duplicity. If the Han family was removed from the big four wealthiest families, it would be akin to cutting a part of Han Hongbin off, damage that would take a long time to heal.
He was in his 50s, and to rise up in the corporate world was no walk in the park. He had been backed into a corner, and he had to use the most audacious moves in his hands and plan for assassination.
Han Hongbin maintained a low profile in his schemes, and, despite the many layers of investigation that had been conducted, they had failed to find the mastermind. In order to keep his upper hand, Han Hongbin’s first target after his release would be Yun Xi.
If not, his target would be Mu Feichi.
Another layer of complication was added to the situation in Jingdu, and it was also another layer of fun. Yun Xi had offset the balance among the families and even revealed a huge target in the process of it.
Yun Xi’s brows were tied in a knot as she thought. It took a while for her to speak up again. “If we learn that Han Hongbin is the real Crocodile, what do you plan to do then?” she asked.
Mu Feichi raised his brows and his lips sneered as he replied, “Didn’t you want to be responsible for this? My men will help you throughout, but the rest is for you to scheme and plan. I’m just your support, right, so that’s my share of the work.”
Yun Xi rolled her eyes and mumbled, “You’re sharing? Mr. Mu, you are not doing anything.”
The gall of him to say he’s splitting the work, Yun Xi thought.
“Do you know how hard it is to be your support? It’s tiring, babe. I not only have to worry but be paranoid even. If I want to help, you won’t let me. But if I don’t help, I’m so worried I can’t sleep. It would be much faster for me to do it, so if you regret this, I can always take over.”
Yun Xi shook her head in response to Mu Feichi’s serious complaint and did not say another word.
Or rather, she had nothing to respond to. Mu Feichi’s argument was valid, and there was nothing for her to argue with.
However, the game had been set, and it had been basically for the sake of her personal vengeance. Yun Xi preferred it to be done with her hands than anyone else’s.
When Yun Xi brought her attention to the monitor again, she spotted Han Wanling’s vehicle.
Yun Xi turned to Grey Wolf who was sitting beside her. “We should broadcast this. I don’t want to be the only one enjoying this show.”
“There might be some unforeseen updates in a live broadcast. I would recommend posting a slightly edited video. It’s not good if you get involved in this.”
Yun Xi thought about it for a bit and nodded, “Good point.”
As much as she was mentally prepared for the outcome of being wrapped up in this mess, the advice from Grey Wolf was a good reminder. He was a third party, and he would be able to have a more objective picture of the situation. It was best that Yun Xi follow his recommendation.
On the monitor, she could see Han Wanling entering the room. The leader of the kidnapping ring wore a black balaclava and approached Han Wanling with his arms crossed. “Took you a while. I got you your person. Where’s the rest of the money?”
Han Wanling shot him a look and threw the black bag she had brought on the ground. She turned to the kidnapped figure sitting on the chair with a frown, “Take the bag off her head!”
The kidnapper sneered and picked up the black bag. “Do it yourself. I take no part in your personal grudges.”
Walking forward, Han Wanling pulled off the bag on Qiao Ximin’s head. With Yun Xi kidnapped, it would give her a bargaining chip with which to talk to the Young Commander. He needed to help her.
It was necessary for the Young Commander to intervene and offer assistance to the Han family. It would be impossible for them to pull through this crisis without him.
The move was admittedly underhanded, but she had no other option..
