Chapter 25: Yu Mo Yuan is Going to Sea

After breakfast, both Yu Mo Yuan and Zhao Zhiliu received phone calls, and they left one after another.

The two luxury cars turned at the intersection, heading in different directions.

Zhao Zhiliu’s car circled the west side of the city twice, confirming there was no tailing before heading toward the abandoned factory.

Once inside, the factory was empty except for Zhao Zhi Hui.

Zhao Zhi Hui quickly walked over, his face not looking too good. “Sis, someone managed to rescue Wang Tao!”

“What? What are you doing? Who saved him?” Zhao Zhiliu’s face changed, and she became frantic.

Zhao Zhi Hui explained, “Wang Tao is very cautious. After returning to the Frost Kingdom, he didn’t go home immediately. Our people had to follow him for a long time. We waited for him to let down his guard and return home, and we sent people with knives and clubs to deal with him that very night.”

“But unexpectedly, just as we had beaten Wang Tao half to death, a group of people armed with guns suddenly rushed out and rescued him and his family.”

A group of armed people?

The security in the Frost Kingdom is not worse than that of Hua Country, and only those with a gun permit can carry firearms.

The people she sent couldn’t even get their hands on any guns, so who could have such great power?

Not only were they able to reach the Frost Kingdom, but they were also able to acquire firearms?

Zhao Zhiliu’s face turned pale. “Could it be Yu Mo Yuan’s people?”

Zhao Zhi Hui didn’t dare to think further. “Then it’s over… if his people took Wang Tao’s family, the car accident from years ago can’t be hidden anymore!”

“You’re really useless!” Zhao Zhiliu lifted her leg and kicked Zhao Zhi Hui.

Zhao Zhiliu’s heels were sharp and thin, and the kick hurt badly, but Zhao Zhi Hui gritted his teeth and didn’t dare to make a sound.

After Zhao Zhiliu vented her anger, Zhao Zhi Hui weakly spoke up, “So, what should we do? Just wait here?”

Zhao Zhiliu took a few deep breaths. “How could we just wait? Wang Tao can threaten me because he still has the recording from the deal we made all those years ago.”

“As long as we steal the recorder from Yu Mo Yuan’s hands, he’ll have nothing to prove that I had someone do it.”

“Even if he pressures Wang Tao to reveal everything to Old Master, without concrete evidence, Old Master won’t be able to do anything to me!”

Hearing Zhao Zhiliu’s words, Zhao Zhi Hui finally sighed in relief. “So, should we send Lian Er to steal it?”

“With her stupidity, it’d be a miracle if she could even get close to Yu Mo Yuan!” Zhao Zhiliu’s eyes were cold, and she smirked mockingly. “I have my own ways, you don’t need to worry about it.”

Among the entire Yu family, only two people could get close to Yu Mo Yuan.

One was Yu Minchuan, and the other was Tang Liyue.

Yu Minchuan was also one of the victims of the car accident, and under no circumstances could he find out about this.

So, there was only one person left, Tang Liyue.

Zhao Zhiliu was a seasoned old fox, and her rank was not low.

The way Yu Mo Yuan treated Tang Liyue wasn’t obvious to others, but she could see it.

When Tang Liyue first came to the Yu family, during her first breakfast, Zhao Zhiliu deliberately had Aunt Wang inform her late and not tell her the specific location of the dining room.

Logically, Tang Liyue should’ve been late.

But coincidentally, that day, Yu Mo Yuan went out for a smoke, and Tang Liyue arrived just on time, saving her once from a crisis.

Afterward, Yu Mo Yuan even unusually agreed to let Tang Liyue sit next to him.

Zhao Zhiliu always felt that there was a subtle relationship between Yu Mo Yuan, Yu Minchuan, and Tang Liyue.

This subtle relationship made Zhao Zhiliu uneasy, as she couldn’t figure it out.

No matter what, the task of stealing the recorder had to fall on Tang Liyue.

If Tang Liyue could get the recorder, it would prove that Yu Mo Yuan’s feelings for her were indeed special, and she could use that to continue targeting him in the future.

But if she couldn’t get it… then keeping Tang Liyue around would be useless!

The genes for having twins weren’t exclusive to Tang Liyue alone, the Tang family still had Tang Xue Yao.

---

Yu Family Estate.

Inside a room, Tang Liyue suddenly sneezed and then shrank her neck, murmuring softly, “Why is it suddenly so cold…”

She then got up and closed the window.

---

South of the city.

Gun Club.

The gun club was closed to the public today, but the outdoor shooting range was noisy.

Yu Mo Yuan sat in the leisure area, casually assembling a small handgun.

Kneeling beside Yu Mo Yuan were a woman and two children.

The woman and the children kept kowtowing to Yu Mo Yuan, pleading for him to spare Wang Tao.

At this moment, Wang Tao was already tied to a wooden post a hundred meters away.

His eyes were blindfolded, and a target paper was stuck to his head.

Yuan Suo, holding a loudspeaker, spoke loudly, “You still have a chance. Will you hand over the item or not?”

Wang Tao’s body trembled constantly. “The item isn’t on me! Really! Second Master Yu, please spare me! I’m not lying!”

Yuan Suo shrugged. “Well, then there’s nothing I can do. You just pray that Second Master’s aim isn’t too accurate.”

As soon as Yuan Suo finished speaking, Yu Mo Yuan inserted the final magazine into the gun.

He pulled the safety off, and the bullet was chambered.

Wang Tao’s eyes were covered, so he couldn’t see anything. He could only hear the loud crying of his wife and children in the distance.

His body started trembling, and he even felt the urge to urinate as his bladder threatened to burst.

“Second Master! Please spare me! The item isn’t here! My wife hid it! I don’t know where she hid it!”

The response to Wang Tao came in the form of a gunshot.

Bang, The bullet whizzed past Wang Tao’s ear, and he could clearly feel the bullet’s trajectory just under ten centimeters from his head!

The airflow created by the bullet even cut his cheek!

“Ah” Wang Tao screamed in fear, his body twisting in panic.

The woman kneeling at Yu Mo Yuan’s feet finally stopped crying. She hurriedly spoke up, “I’ll give it to you! I’ll give it to you! Please don’t kill my husband!”

Yuan Suo walked over to Wang Tao’s wife. “So the item is with you, huh? If you’d said so earlier, we would’ve tied you to the target instead. Such a waste of time.”

Wang Tao’s wife shuddered, not daring to waste any more time. “Second Master, I hid the item. I can give it to you, we don’t want three million, just one million!”

Wang Tao’s wife’s words made Yuan Suo laugh.

He looked at Yu Mo Yuan, “Second Master, she’s negotiating with you.”

Yu Mo Yuan didn’t say anything, not even sparing a glance for Wang Tao’s wife.

Bang, Another shot, this time grazing Wang Tao’s right cheek.

This time, Wang Tao screamed and urinated in his pants.

Yu Mo Yuan sighed lightly. “He’s too noisy.”

Yuan Suo added, “Anyway, he’s of no use alive, just get rid of him.”

“That makes sense.”

After Yu Mo Yuan finished speaking, he raised the gun again.

Wang Tao’s wife panicked this time and crawled to Yu Mo Yuan’s legs, pleading desperately as she grabbed his pant leg.

“Please! Spare my husband! I don’t want the money anymore! I’ll tell you everything! The item wasn’t on us, it’s hidden in the toilet tank in the house in Ice Frost Country!”

Yu Mo Yuan didn’t speak, but his cold gaze focused on Wang Tao’s wife’s hand clutching his pant leg.

Wang Tao’s wife shivered under his gaze and quickly let go.

Yuan Suo waved his hand, and immediately someone stepped forward to take Wang Tao’s family away.

Then Yuan Suo bent down to smooth out the wrinkles in Yu Mo Yuan’s pants where they’d been grabbed.

“Second Master, you’re not in a good mood today.”

Yu Mo Yuan engaged the safety on his handgun and tossed it on the table. “How can you tell?”

“You’ve got that death god vibe. You’re scaring the life out of everyone.”

Yu Mo Yuan stood up. “I just don’t want to waste time. Anyway, contact our people in Ice Frost Country and get that item back. Also, I’m going out to sea.”

Out to sea?

Yuan Suo straightened up. “Why the sudden sea trip? You usually go only in September, and it’s still May.”

Yu Mo Yuan tugged at his tie. “Old Qin found something.”

Only then did Yuan Suo nod. “Are you taking me?”

Yu Mo Yuan hesitated for a moment. “You stay in A city to keep things in order.”

He expected to be out at sea for ten days or even half a month.

If no one stayed behind to manage the group, there was a risk that Zhao Zhiliu would seize the opportunity to cause some trouble.

“Alright, it’s just that your new assistant starts tomorrow. I’ll use this time to train her properly.”

New assistant?

Yu Mo Yuan’s expression darkened immediately upon hearing that.

“You’d better train her well, at least teach her to use her brain when working.”

Hmm? Hmm? Hmmm?

A strange feeling began to rise.

Just as Yuan Suo was about to ask Yu Mo Yuan if he knew the new assistant, Yu Mo Yuan, as if foreseeing the question, immediately snapped, “Shut up.”

Yuan Suo chuckled, not bothered by it.

If Yu Mo Yuan wouldn’t tell him, he’d ask the new assistant tomorrow.
