Chapter 207: Untitled

Third Young Master Ye, who was pulling his tie, went easy on his tie. He squinted. Louis?

“Is the information reliable?”

“Lin had a dinner meeting with Hua Yun’s CEO last night. He was drunk and accidentally leaked the information. That was why I said it does not make sense for anybody to stop lending to MBS for no rhyme or reason. For him to appear in the picture… Did you have any bad blood with him?” Tang Bilan asked as he tapped the Chinese cedar table consistently. “Weren’t you partners? Isn’t he afraid of screwing up the working relationship?”

“There are still some pieces of information on Louis that I did not manage to completely gather. They seem to be deliberately hidden as I could not locate them despite having pulled all methods off. There seems to be no record of them, and even all-capable computers aren’t able to locate information that is not stored. The only thing I am sure of is that he is on the same side as my old man,” Third Young Master Ye said coldly with a hint of mockery. “The old man sees MBS as something even more precious and important than his life. He’s afraid I would plunder it and went the mile to plant many of his eyes and ears around me. This looks way different, and I expect things to go belly up!”

“Even the Dragon Gate’s systems weren’t able to get a hit?”

“They couldn’t get a hit!” Third Young Master Ye frowned. “Fourth Young Master Tang, what do you think the old man is up to by trying to get rid of a capable lieutenant?”

“Your old man isn’t my old man, but years back, my old man pulled this off so that he could put in place his own attack dog and secretly manipulated me out of the scenes.” Fourth Young Master Tang’s laughter carried some hint of mockery. “Since you said that your old man should just admit his age and know that you will outwit him, why doesn’t he just toe the line and enjoy his retirement!”

His grand laughter was tinged with viciousness!

“A dying fish will flounder for a couple of times before it gives up hope!” Third Young Master Ye coldly mocked in indignation.

Fourth Young Master Tang laughed out loud. Third Young Master Ye’s analogy choice indeed reflected the viciousness in Third Young Master Ye. “That being said, your old man is much more vicious than my old man. At least, my old man didn’t try to institutionalize me in an asylum or was vicious enough to invite outsiders to screw the Tang Enterprise over. Nobody in their sane mind would invite a source of trouble into their own backyard for one’s son, however much disdain for said son, shares the same surname and belongs to the family. If an outsider seizes anything, chances are it’s irrecoverable.”

“Louis…” Third Young Master Ye shook his head. He never treated Fourth Young Master Tang as a business rival, and Lin Yixuan was his best bud. “In the earlier days, the old man wanted to run Yao Hua into the ground and quickly built up his capital… through illegal deals with Louis’ father which he concealed extremely well. I only learned about this relationship after a year in MBS. He had a very good personal relationship with Louis’ old man, and I managed to intercept the old man’s records from then to learn that they were parity trades, which meant that Louis’ old man was the middleman and all profit went to my old man. This is not your typical relationship, and you could consider Louis as his god-nephew!”

“Ah, I see. That explains it!” Fourth Young Master Tang murmured. He was reading insider information from the Dragon Gate as he called Third Young Master Ye. “Somebody has offered two billion for your life!” He suddenly whispered.

Third Young Master Ye kept silent.

This was nothing novel as Fourth Young Master Tang, who helmed the Dragon Gate, already had a few hits put out on him. Couldn’t he choose a fresher topic?

“Hey, why are you so silent? Shocked stiff?” He teased as he checked the records. “That is weird. Which person would have such a bad taste to put a hit on you? Even I do not dare to cross blows with you.” He sounded especially happy.

“Japanese yen?” Third Young Master Ye casually mentioned those two words.

“I’m sorry! British pounds!” Fourth Young Master Tang laughed gently. “Your head is sure worthy!”

Both of them, as though they were not talking about anything life-threatening, sounded relaxed. It seemed as though they were talking about the Mid-Autumn Festival and why the moon wasn’t round.

“Get Black Eagle to accept the job!” Third Young Master Ye laughed. The Dragon Gate, the largest organization of hit men in the world, had five of the top ten killers in the world under their wing. Although they dealt in firearms, researched biological weapons, and smuggled diamonds, assassinations were, however, its signature service.

“Third Young Master Ye, I am sorry to inform you that you are dead meat!” Fourth Young Master Tang suddenly sounded nervous and much less relaxed than earlier. “Black Eagle was one step too late… Somebody had accepted the job…”

“Who?” Third Young Master Ye quickly logged into the Dragon Gate’s systems.

Unless the target was a famous international assassin, the Dragon Gate would typically accept such high-value jobs.

“Ye Wei!” Fourth Young Master Tang said the name seriously. The name was enough to inspire fear throughout the underworld.

Third Young Master Ye’s hand, which was holding the mouse, slightly trembled.

Ye Wei…

On the list of international assassins, two women reigned. One was Eleven, the other Ye Wei. The two were the most feared hit women in recent years. They were the only two women to top the list.

What was most terrifying about them was the fact that they were non-biological sisters who graduated from the same operative training camp. They had not failed any of their previously accepted jobs, and they acted so cleanly that left nary a trace.

Actually, since one of the two accepted the job, it meant that the two were out in force!

Third Young Master Ye was not stunned because of the fear they inspired, but because of Ye Wei’s name!

His lost sister was also called Ye Wei!

He first heard about such a terrifying female assassin called Ye Wei when he was in high school in the United States. Back then, Fourth Young Master Tang, Lin, and he were already making waves in the underworld. The WRT Organization and the Phantom Gate were engaged in a turf war then. Being part of the biggest Chinese triad, Third Young Master Ye and company were waiting to reap the gains from the turf and ingeniously claim their turf.

However, WRT put a hit out on the leaders of the Phantom Gate and over a hundred important figures.

Overnight, all the leaders of the Phantom Gate were killed and the Phantom Gate scuttled.

The killer was Ye Wei!

She became famous after a single battle!

Third Young Master Ye was only eighteen then, and his sister was five years his junior. In Third Young Master Ye’s memory, she was a well-behaved and responsible girl who was as cute as a doll. Third Young Master Ye doted on her and wanted to protect his sister for the rest of his life!

However, she was abducted and lost in a conspiracy!

He was very touched when he heard Ye Wei’s name. However, the lady could not be his sister as they had too large an age gap! If she was indeed his sister when she became famous, she would have only been thirteen! How could that be possible?

Hearsay had it that Ye Wei was in her early twenties when she took on the Phantom Gate!

“Did the person ordering the hit reveal anything?” Third Young Master Ye asked as he tried to recall from his memory.

“Given the value of the hit, how could anyone know who ordered it!” Fourth Young Master Tang said. “If Black Eagle accepted the job, we could still track bank records. That seems impossible now!”

Third Young Master Ye’s heart sank. “How the hell are you encountering so many things recently?” Fourth Young Master Tang teased.

Scandal, child, refusal to marriage, punching somebody before the media, dueling with Yao Hua… Crossing Louis…

The days were undoubtedly interesting!

“It has been a rough year!” Third Young Master Ye hardly sounded at ease. “Correction. This year is my lucky year! Because I acknowledged my son!” He changed his tone.

And got a wife!
