Chapter 30

As the cart with the cake slowly approached, Liu Xueyao wanted to say something, but seeing the look in Liu Zhengming's eyes, she remained silent, not wanting to go against the old man's wishes at this moment.

Yang Yu carefully observed the situation. Liu Fei looked quite calm, showing no particular surprise, while Liu Xuan was acting abnormally, sitting down directly on a chair without any argument.

"What is this little brat up to?" Yang Yu muttered to himself, but then he was startled by something.

Yu Zeming was gone.

"Where did he go?" Yang Yu felt a sense of unease rising in his heart.

"What's wrong?" Liu Xueyao noticed the change in Yang Yu's expression.

"Yu Zeming is gone. Cover for me, I need to go check." Yang Yu said, slowly walking to the edge of the banquet, then quickly moving out of everyone's sight.

"Damn it, don't let me find you, or I'll make sure you die a horrible death!" Yang Yu cursed in his heart, now convinced that Yu Zeming was definitely up to no good.

In a secluded corner, Yang Yu suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"The plan has changed. The old man has almost given all his assets to Liu Xueyao's family. Now I want you to kill everyone in the Liu family." It was Yu Zeming's voice.

Hearing this, Yang Yu was instantly alarmed. Yu Zeming had clearly been planning this for a long time. He stealthily approached, and with his current martial skills, his slight movements went unnoticed.

Hiding behind a flower bed, Yang Yu listened carefully.

"Kill them all?" A surprised voice came from the phone. "Greedy Wolf, are you crazy? How can you order a massacre? I only agreed to kill Liu Xueyao and that Yang Yu. This sudden change is too much for me."

"Ten billion!" Yu Zeming said a number that Zhang Xiong couldn't refuse.

"How much?" Zhang Xiong thought he had heard wrong.

"Yes, ten billion. After the deed is done, I have a way to make the old man rewrite his will. His wealth is much greater than I thought."

Yu Zeming, thinking about the thirty billion fund, had not expected Liu Zhengming to have this hidden asset. He had thought that Guangtian Technology Group was all Liu Zhengming had, but now it was clear that there was much more.

For the thirty billion, Yu Zeming was willing to offer Zhang Xiong ten billion as a reward. In Jinghai City, Zhang Xiong was the only person he could use. And if his plan succeeded, the reward would be even greater.

"Alright, I'll do it." Zhang Xiong gritted his teeth and replied, "But what should I do now? Should the plan change?"

"Yes, move the ambush to the entrance of the villa complex. I'll find a way to delay Liu Xueyao's family until the end. Then you can snipe them, leaving no survivors." Yu Zeming said calmly, as if everything was already planned out.

"Alright, I'll set it up now." Zhang Xiong responded.

"If possible, leave Liu Xueyao alive. I want her to enjoy it one last time." Yu Zeming added in a low voice after some thought.

"Greedy Wolf, that's not like you, but I'll see how it goes." Zhang Xiong replied, secretly mocking him. At this moment, he was still thinking about women, but if there was a chance, he wouldn't mind enjoying it himself.

Yu Zeming hung up the phone, his face filled with murderous intent: "Hmph, it looks like I'll have to deal with Liu Xuan myself. I didn't want to kill you, but keeping you around might cause problems."

Yu Zeming's final madness was hard for anyone to understand. He believed that by killing everyone around Liu Zhengming, the old man would have no choice but to give him all his assets. However, Yang Yu's intuition told him that even if the Liu family was wiped out, Yu Zeming wouldn't get a single cent.

Liu Zhengming was not a fool, Yang Yu was certain of that.

But now was the time for him to act. He had originally planned to wait until after the banquet to deal with Yu Zeming, but time was running out.

"Damn, if I act now, it will cause too much commotion." Yang Yu frowned, but he was also worried that if the banquet ended, he would lose this opportunity.

Seeing Yu Zeming about to leave, if he entered the banquet, Yang Yu would have even less of a chance. Now he needed to strike with one decisive blow. After killing Yu Zeming, if he didn't show up, it would raise suspicions.

"One decisive blow is too difficult. What should I do?" Yang Yu was in a panic, but perhaps in his desperation, he remembered the Ten Fragrant Soft Bone Powder he had drawn.

Using such a high-level substance on Yu Zeming felt wasteful, but at this moment, Yang Yu didn't care.

Having made up his mind, Yang Yu calmly walked out from behind the flower bed.

"Who's there?"

Yu Zeming was startled, his body slightly bent like a lion ready to pounce. His years in the military had trained him to always be in the best position for an attack.

"Captain Yu, how could you forget me?" Yang Yu smiled and walked up to Yu Zeming.

"Yang Yu!" Yu Zeming said with hatred.

But at this moment, he calmed down, his gathered strength dissipating. He didn't believe Yang Yu would dare to attack him here. If he shouted, the hundred people in the banquet hall would come to his aid, and Yang Yu would be in a hopeless situation.

"Ha, it's me." Yang Yu nodded.

"What do you want?" Yu Zeming asked coldly.

Yang Yu didn't speak, waiting for the right moment. When the entire villa suddenly went dark, his moment had come.

"It's time to blow out the candles, and it's also time for you to die." Yang Yu's voice turned cold, and a packet of white powder flew towards Yu Zeming.

"What did you say?" Yu Zeming thought he had heard wrong, but his momentary hesitation cost him his last chance to fight back.

What was it? Yu Zeming felt the powder on his face, but the sensation lasted only five seconds before he felt his body go limp, unable to stand. He collapsed to the ground.

"Damn!" Yu Zeming was both angry and afraid.

He had dared to act, and he had really acted. Last time it was a hidden weapon, this time it was poison. Yu Zeming's mind was in turmoil. Was he going to die? Just as he was about to shout, he felt a sharp pain in his forehead and lost the strength to speak.

It's over, Yu Zeming thought.

When the lights in the villa came back on, Yang Yu had already dragged Yu Zeming to a dark corner. Yu Zeming's eyes were wide with shock and fear. Who was this person? He had poison and hidden weapons, and he dared to act so recklessly.

"He can't die in the villa. How can I get out?" Yang Yu thought. He could easily jump over the railing alone, but carrying someone else was a different story. He didn't have that kind of strength.

The railing was very sturdy, impossible to break. Should he kill him here and bury him? Yang Yu felt he hadn't thought this through.

As Yang Yu was deep in thought, his phone received a text message, which startled him. He almost smashed the phone, but when he saw the message, he was dumbfounded.

The message read: "There's a small door at the back of the villa, it's unlocked."

Yang Yu was instantly shaken. His first thought was that he had been discovered, but his second thought was that this was impossible. Who had sent him the message? He had never seen this number before.

But there was no time to think about it now. Yang Yu grabbed Yu Zeming and quickly found the small door along the railing.

"It's really unlocked." Yang Yu dragged the pale-faced Yu Zeming out of the villa. When he looked outside, he smiled. Behind the small door was a calm lake.

"You dare!" Yu Zeming's voice was barely audible.

Yang Yu smiled coldly. "From the moment you decided to kill Xueyao, it was decided that only one of us could live, and it's you who will die."

Without hesitation, Yang Yu quickly threw Yu Zeming into the calm lake. A person affected by the Ten Fragrant Soft Bone Powder would die in the water.

Standing by the calm lake for a minute, Yang Yu saw Yu Zeming stop struggling and finally felt relieved. It was then that he noticed the task prompt in his mind.

"D-Class Task: Eliminate the Ambusher. Task Description: Ambusher Zhang Xiong, Yu Zeming's comrade, codename Poison Wolf, average martial skills, excellent marksmanship. Task Reward: One draw chance, 30 exchange points. Accept?"

Yang Yu was extremely surprised by the task prompt in his mind.

A gun, there's actually a gun.

"This Zhang Xiong must be the one Yu Zeming set up." Yang Yu understood, but at this point, whether there was a task or not, he couldn't let someone who wanted to kill the Liu family live.

"Accept." Yang Yu said silently, already forming a plan in his mind.
