Chapter 107 (2/2)
”Young n.o.ble is right, Ling Jian is convinced. Can I ask who the other person is?” Ling Jian asked with sincerity.
”The other person is my grandmother. Grandmother is old and sharp, running the huge operations of our Ling family for decades. Her wisdom and shrewdness is exceptional. She had already seen though Ling Kong’s plan a long time ago. Thus, she took the initiative to keep Ling Zhen by her side. While she says that she is nurturing him, she is actually keeping an eye on him. It was also akin to having a hostage! The more amazing thing is that grandmother would intentionally reveal some fake news to that little thief, thus misleading all of Ling Kong’s plan. She had played a fool of the old fox Ling Kong. The way she was so precise with her actions makes one astounded. The shrewdness of grandmother does not lose out to that old man Yang at all. These two fellows are really old people without…” Knowing that he said something he should not have, he quickly stopped there.
Ling Chen and Ling Jian were both in consideration, mumbling to themselves for a moment. Shortly after, Ling Jian raised his head with viciousness in his eyes, ”Young n.o.ble, since we cannot touch the NanGong family and Yang family, why not we just get rid of Ling Kong and his son!”
”Definitely not!” Ling Tian rejected without hesitation, ”We had already allowed Ling Kong to do what he wants for so many years just for a good opportunity. The opportunity is going to be ripe soon and we must definitely not alert him! The moment we take action, we must do it lightning fast, cleaning up all of his accomplices. Especially all of the spies which the Yang and NanGong family planted into our family, they must all be cleaned up! After this incident, we must make sure that the Ling family is completely clean! There must be no one in the Ling family with any malicious intents! We cannot allow anyone with malicious intents into our very bedside!”
Ling Chen then pouted unhappily, ”We can’t touch the Yang family, can’t touch the NanGong family. We still can’t touch Ling Kong now… young n.o.ble, isn’t this too frustrating?”
”Hahaha, since when did I say that we cannot touch the Yang and NanGong family? These two families must be touched, and they must be greatly touched!” Ling Tian smiled.
Ling Jian and Ling Chen were both puzzled as though they didn’t know what was going on anymore, ”Didn’t young n.o.ble say…”
Ling Tian sighed, ”Two pig heads. I meant that we cannot touch them openly, I did not say that we cannot do so in secret. How can we let them off so easily? Hmph, do they really think it is so easy to take advantage of me? If they want to take advantage of me and retreat fully, it isn’t so easy!”
Ling Jian and Ling Chen lit up, ”Please enlighten us.”
Ling Tian narrowed his eyes with a sinister grin, ”While we cannot move against them on the surface, we must collect some interest. Coincidentally, the young n.o.ble and miss of the NanGong family are here in the Sky Bearing Empire.” Ling Tian thought for a moment before adding on with a cunning smile, ”Ling Jian, if NanGong Le were to suddenly die in the Yang family and the NanGong family receives news that the Yang family was aware of their other plans, what do you think will happen?”
Ling Jian’s eyes lit up as he said, ”The NanGong family will think that their own plots caused the death of their son. Both the families would definitely break out in dispute and may even fight each other. At that time, we can receive the benefits from that.”
Ling Tian replied, ”Mmm, that’s right. While the NanGong and Yang family will not turn against each other and fight immediately, the Yang family will still be responsible for not protecting NanGong Le properly. The doubts between both families would definitely grow. Even if it grows at the slowest rate, it will still delay their alliance! Investigate where NanGong Le and Yang Wei have been hanging around lately. Then, this matter will be handed over to you completely. Remember to do it cleanly and lay the trap nicely. Go and think about it yourself.”
Ling Jian laughed, ”Young n.o.ble’s plan is really flawless and ingenious.”
”Ling Chen, send the medicine to my secret chamber.” After investigating the medicine, Ling Tian nodded his head in satisfaction. Only a few more materials are required.
