A smug look was written all over Wang Yu's face.

After Xu Ke deleted the part of the recording that might have implicated her, she looked down on him even more.

He holds evidence but doesn't dare to use it. A gutless coward, truly nothing to fear!

Seeing how pleased Wang Yu was, Wang Tianlu poured cold water on her enthusiasm. "Since you've said all that, why don't you go deal with him yourself?"

"Don't come to me."

The triumphant look on Wang Yu's face stiffened. "Brother Lu, must you be so ruthless?"

"I said it from the start. We do things by the book. You pay, I make a move." Wang Tianlu sawed off a piece of steak.

Wang Yu took a deep breath and exchanged a glance with Wong Liqing.

Both of them were hesitant. If they really agreed to Wang Tianlu's terms, they would surely have to pay a hefty price. But if they didn't, and instead took matters into their own hands, the risk would be even greater. And if they failed, the losses would undoubtedly be devastating.

Most importantly, if their underhanded actions were brought to light and they openly became enemies with Wong Qifu, they would no longer be able to enjoy the shade provided by Wong Qifu's great tree. They wanted to drive away Xu Ke, who might encroach on their interests, not betray Wong Qifu, who was a constant source of income for them.

With this in mind... Wang Yu clenched her teeth. "Fine. How do you want to negotiate?"

The corners of Wang Tianlu's mouth instantly turned upwards…

At that moment, Huang Sheng's mouth was also curving into a smile. He watched Sun Luo standing on the balcony, finding the man's silhouette somewhat amusing.

"I'm sorry, Lord War God…"

Sun Luo apologized with a humble expression, his back slightly bent as if Wong Ting were standing right in front of him instead of on the other end of the phone line. After finishing his apology, Sun Luo walked back from the balcony, his face dark and sullen.

"Elder Sun, how did it go?" Huang Zhenyang hurried to meet him.

"Get lost!" Sun Luo bellowed, erupting like a volcano.

Having been so harshly rebuked, Huang Zhenyang's face went deathly pale, and he was rendered speechless.

"Elder Sun, please calm down," Huang Sheng said as Sun Luo approached, handing him a cup of tea.

Sun Luo didn't curse at Huang Sheng. "Okay."

After drinking the tea, Sun Luo's expression was extremely grim. It was as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Does Brother Ting have any arrangements?" Huang Sheng asked.

Sun Luo gritted his teeth. "No, he didn't say anything. He just told you all to cooperate with me and capture Xu Ke immediately."

Wong Ting hadn't made any comments about the failed press conference over the phone. But the less Wong Ting says, the clearer it is that I've incurred his displeasure…

The thought made Sun Luo want to drag Yang Qing out and kill her. It's all that bitch's fault!

"'Capture him…'" Huang Sheng stroked his chin, pondering. I'm already thinking about how to help Wong Ting complete this task. Since Wong Ting wants our cooperation, he definitely expects the Huang Family to contribute significantly. I can't have the capture of Xu Ke end in another mishap like the press conference. I only managed to get away clean from the last kidnapping because we had that dimwit Huang Qi to use as a scapegoat. There's no one to take the fall this time. I have to succeed!

But at the moment, Sun Luo was too preoccupied with venting his frustration. "If it weren't for that worthless piece of trash Yang Qing, I wouldn't be in this position… And that Ouyang Zhou, that bastard! Damn it, what does the Ouyang Family even count for? How dare they offend us? The Wang Family is full of trash! Why doesn't that Wang Yu just go die?"

Seeing Sun Luo curse one person after another, Huang Sheng and Huang Zhenyang simply fell silent. Huang Sheng waved his hand, dismissing the servants from the living room, lest Sun Luo decide to take his anger out on them.

***

After Sun Luo had been ranting for nearly five minutes, Huang Sheng finally placed a fresh cup of tea in front of him. "Elder Sun, let's discuss how to capture Xu Ke."

Sun Luo picked up the teacup, glancing at Huang Sheng. "What's your idea?"

Seeing that Sun Luo seemed to have calmed down, Huang Zhenyang hurriedly asked, "Did Lord War God provide us with any support?" Xu Ke is very strong; one Sun Luo might not be enough to capture him. It's also a way to ease the tension.

But it was the wrong question to ask.

The hand holding the teacup suddenly froze. Sun Luo glared at Huang Zhenyang and roared, "What did you say?"

Huang Zhenyang was dumbfounded. "I… I was just asking about reinforcements." What's happening?

Huang Sheng was at a loss for words. Why did Father insist I keep an eye on Fourth Uncle? Asking a man on the verge of exploding a question like that… isn't that just showing contempt for him and asking for a tongue-lashing?

Sun Luo was burning with rage, spewing filth. "Heh, Huang Zhenyang, do you think that I, one of the ten elite battle-generals under Lord War God, can't handle Xu Ke alone? Let me tell you, if Wang Wu hadn't been there last time, I would have dealt with Xu Ke with one hand. Reinforcements? Why the hell don't you just go die? Do you think Lord War God needs to send important reinforcements for a piece of trash I can handle with one hand? Is your head filled with shit, Huang Zhenyang?!"

This tirade turned Huang Zhenyang's face a furious shade of purple. But facing the wrath of an Innate Martial Artist, the sheer intimidation left him too scared to retort. He meekly replied, "I'm… I'm sorry, Elder Sun."

Sun Luo continued to vent. "Lord War God asked you to cooperate with me precisely because he doesn't want to send reinforcements. Do you understand? You don't! Damn it! I don't know how you've lived this long…"

Huang Zhenyang's fists were clenched tightly.

Just then, Huang Sheng spoke indifferently, "Alright, Elder Sun. Out of respect for the Huang family, let's not say any more."

Huang Zhenyang might be a fool, but he was hardly someone Sun Luo could use as a verbal punching bag.

Seeing Huang Sheng intervene, Sun Luo stopped his tirade. "Then tell me, how do you plan to cooperate with me?"

Huang Sheng replied, "It's simple. We need at least four Innate Martial Artists. We can provide two."

"That many?" Sun Luo's expression changed dramatically.

"It's not that many," Huang Sheng said methodically. "To hold off Wang Wu and capture Xu Ke, it will be difficult to guarantee success without that many people."

"But you succeeded last time relying on some lousy Song Zhong and Ouyang Shuang, didn't you?" Sun Luo frowned.

In his heart, he not only looked down on Xu Ke but also despised Wang Wu. What kind of trash just stands by and watches their master get captured?

Upon hearing this, Huang Sheng gave a meaningful smile. "The success of Ye Chen and my brother last time wasn't really because Elder Shuang and Song Zhong held off Wang Wu. It was because Xu Ke was too useless. Had he not foolishly clashed fists with Song Zhong and gotten himself crippled, Wang Wu wouldn't have been stretched so thin, and my brother wouldn't have been able to take him away so easily.

"Besides, to be honest… we still don't know if he let himself be captured as part of some deliberate plan. So, if we arrange our personnel based on what happened last time, I'm afraid our people might not come back. Xu Ke is the man who killed Ouyang Shuang in a life-and-death match."

Huang Sheng stared at Sun Luo with profound meaning.
