Chapter 88: Killing Intent

Her extended nails gleamed under the light, as alluring as her delicate face: "Top-notch assassins, for self-preservation, are likely to keep records of their employers, whereas a motley crew lacks such seasoned experience. Therefore, if the Qing Gang hires top-notch assassins, Du Tianxiong will take it more seriously and trace the roots." // Welcome to read //

At this point, she added a few more words: "Even if the motley crew is implicated in Zhang Xiaolin's involvement, he can find a dozen reasons to defend himself. At least, it can show that his intent to kill is not strong enough, making it difficult for Du Tianxiong to take him down. You will gradually understand the subtleties."

"Zhang Xiaolin always leaves himself a way out!"

Yan Ruyu seemed to grasp something: "I see!"

Ye Shishi spread her hands and laughed: "So, he is getting old!" She suddenly flashed a cold gleam: "However, he indeed dares not go too far. We are always watching for his mistakes. As long as we find evidence of him killing Zhao Heng, I can have the Du family uphold justice."

Yan Ruyu nodded: "What should we do next?"

Ye Shishi raised her eyebrows, her voice clear and serene: "Actually, with our connections, we could have rescued Zhao Heng last night, but I didn't lend a hand. It's not that I didn't want to save him; I just hoped to use this opportunity to stir up trouble and involve the Ding family and the Qing Gang through Zhao Heng."

"Du Tianxiong may not have evidence to eliminate Zhang Xiaolin, but that doesn't mean he can't see the underlying issues."

Ye Shishi revealed a charming smile, calculating all the events: "As long as he is angry with Zhang Xiaolin's insincerity, the Qing Gang will eventually be suppressed by the Du family, and the Ding family will also suffer. This will shift the balance in our favor, giving us more room to breathe."

"But we need to rescue Zhao Heng!"

Yan Ruyu frowned, pointing out the key issue: "Otherwise, if anything happens to Zhao Heng, it will be a significant loss for us."

In her view, the First Floor had invested a lot of effort in protecting Zhao Heng and even let him and Song Qingguan invest in the First Floor. This was a rare talent investment for the First Floor in recent years. If Zhao Heng were to be cut off before achieving the desired results, it would be a great pity.

Ye Shishi pulled her feet into the sofa and smiled faintly: "We needed Zhao Heng to help us deal with the Qing Gang in the past. If his death could lead to the downfall of the Qing Gang, I wouldn't frown, and it would even be the result I've always wanted. However, it seems difficult to achieve now."

"Zhang Xiaolin's actions have disappointed me. Let's get Zhao Heng out."

Yan Ruyu's breath slightly paused, her eyelids twitched, and she spoke: "Zhao Siqing is very strong now, not giving anyone face. I heard she once spoke to Madam Du, who seemed to disapprove of Zhao Heng's closeness to Du Ziyang, so she let Zhao Siqing handle the matter freely."

At this point, she revealed a bitter smile: "Perhaps the citizens of Huahai don't know much about Madam Du, but we all know she is a formidable figure. The Du family's current status and power owe much to her. With her support for Zhao Siqing, things become complicated."

Madam Du is also a legendary figure in Huahai's top circle. Du Tianxiong is often busy traveling, and the Du family is almost managed by her behind the scenes. Although she hasn't shone as brightly as Ye Shishi, those who have met her know she is not simple. Her low profile and being overshadowed by Du Tianxiong's brilliance are the reasons Yan Ruyu didn't pay much attention to her.

"No need for us to act; I have already made arrangements."

When Ye Shishi heard the name "Madam Du," her eyes brightened slightly. She had no mortal enmity with the latter but also wasn't a close friend. Perhaps it's a woman's nature to feel inexplicable aversion to equally excellent peers. Ye Shishi quickly regained her composure and gave an order: "Find a way to leak the information to Du Ziyang."

A faint smile curved her lips as she played her well-calculated card: "That girl likes Zhao Heng and will definitely go to great lengths to protect him. If Du Ziyang also becomes tough, things will get interesting, making the Qing Gang and the Ding family and Zhao Siqing all feel the pressure."

Yan Ruyu was taken aback, then sighed in admiration: "Understood!"

"Actually, this is a great opportunity for us."

As Yan Ruyu was about to leave, Ye Shishi suddenly felt a tinge of regret: "A great opportunity." In her muttering, the most beautiful and charming woman in Huahai slowly lifted her face, her beautiful face showing immense determination. Yan Ruyu's heart trembled: she sensed a hint of killing intent.

"Go and do it."

Ye Shishi dispelled the killing intent from her face and leaned lazily on the sofa: "Since we can't kill Zhao Heng and nail down the Qing Gang, we will continue to fully cultivate Zhao Heng, making him a future general to oppose the Qing Gang. Additionally, treat the dead horse as a live one and investigate the background of those assassins."

"See if we can find evidence of the Qing Gang hiring them."

Yan Ruyu nodded again: "Understood."

After Yan Ruyu left, Ye Shishi reined in her smile and looked out the window. As a woman, she had climbed step by step in this glittering city, and relying on luck, beauty, forced smiles, and social pretenses was far from enough. Besides extraordinary skills, she had to be prepared for every step.

She gently massaged her head and remained silent for a long time, then sighed.

The Du family's garden, resplendent in the sunlight.

Tokyo Bay in Japan, Repulse Bay in Hong Kong, Swan Lake in New York, Clearwater River in Seattle, and Rose Bay in Sydney are all world-renowned international high-end residential areas. As the Oriental Pearl, Huahai, the pride of Huaguo, naturally has its own high-end residential area.

For example, the Songshan Scenic Area and the riverside luxury residential area in Lujiazui. Currently, Huahai has two truly recognized high-end residential areas: the extremely luxurious Mei Garden and the official-flavored Songshan Scenic Area. The former is the pinnacle of the Pearl's high-end residential areas.

It once set a record with a 200 million yuan villa, far surpassing the wealthiest areas in other places. The latter, however, has risen to prominence, with its strong official background adding to its appeal, making it the epitome of low-key luxury in Huahai. The Du family's garden, with its regal aura, is located here.

However, the usually peaceful Du family was now experiencing a ripple.

"What?"

In the south bedroom on the second floor, Du Ziyang received a call from Song Qingguan. She wasn't surprised how he got her number, as she was shocked by the news: "How could Zhao Heng be arrested by the police? A fight case? Tu Honggang? Zhao Siqing? Ridiculous! Don't worry, I'll rescue her immediately."

After hanging up, Du Ziyang had already stepped off the soft, white bed, the pain in her stomach largely dispelled by the bad news. She hadn't expected the Qing Gang to be involved. In her mind, it was definitely her friend and Tu Honggang working together to target Zhao Heng, aiming to keep him away from her.

A woman's sixth sense can sometimes be astonishingly terrifying. Du Ziyang herself hadn't expected her intuition to bypass layers of conspiracy and complex relationships, directly pointing to the core of the matter and the Ding siblings. She slipped her white, tender feet into slippers, took off her pajamas, and changed into formal attire.

Before long, Du Ziyang had transformed into a fresh and beautiful woman. At the same time, her phone received a text message, informing her that Zhao Heng had been publicly taken away by the police at school, along with a picture of Ding Lingling's sinister smile. Du Ziyang glanced at the number, not recognizing it, and felt a bit surprised:

"Who sent the text message?"
