Chapter 582 (2/2)

“Tell me! What is it?” Asked Tang Xiu.

“I’m afraid that Yao Qinglong, Du Yanghe, and Qiu Jian are going to attack me tonight. I hope you can kill them for me,” said Yang Le.

“Why do they want to kill you?” Tang Xiu raised his brows. “Also, how come they know that you live here?”

“Yao Qinglong must have sent some people to investigate my whereabouts. I always move covertly in Shanghai, but I’ve been staying here for too long, and investigating it would be easy given their abilities. Anyhow, I also have found out Yao Qinglong’s purpose in seeking me. They want my help in stealing the formulas of the several products belonging to the Magnificent Tang Corporation. I flatly rejected,” said Yang Le.

“I see!” Tang Xiu immediately hung up after saying that.

Originally, he wasn’t in a rush to remove Yao Qinglong. He had never seen Yao Qinglong’s Dao abilities, though the man was a disciple of Thief Branch. Given that he actually wanted to attack the Magnificent Tang Corporation to steal their products’ formulas, that was something that could not be forgiven. Those formulas were the capital he relied on to make money, and his loss would be too great if Yao Qinglong were to steal them.

“You refused the path to heaven, and to the gate of hell shall you be thrown on your own accord!”

Tang Xiu sneered and then contacted Chi Nan. Though his strength was very formidable, some fish may escape if too many people came from the other party. Therefore, he needed the experts from the Everlasting Feast Hall to lay out an inescapable net. Even if the other party sent a lot of masters, they must never be allowed to return!

In the previous café.

Yao Qinglong had not left yet, and sat quietly on the chair while savoring his coffee. He was silently thinking of something. The reason he first straightly headed to Shanghai after returning to China was not that he didn’t care about the present situation the Yao Family was in, but because he didn’t want to expose himself.

The Yao Family was very important. But that was because the previous Yao Family who could bring him some benefits. As of now, the Yao Family was akin to a stray dog, and the entire foundation of the family was likely stolen by others. From the intelligence he gathered, he was aware of the fact that it may not take long before Beijing would no longer have a Yao Family.

All of this was not important to him, however. What was more important was the formulas of those several products belonging to the Magnificent Tang Corporation. His return this time was with this difficult mission at hand.

“Senior Brother! (Senior Brother!)”

Two voices came from a distance, as Du Yanghe and Qiu Jian appeared in front of Yao Qinglong with smiling faces. Though these three martial brothers each had his own ax to grind and had their own schemes in mind, yet they seemingly got along with each other harmoniously on the surface.

Yao Qinglong got up and hugged them both as he motioned for them to sit on the other side of the sofa. Then he laughed and said, “You two came fast.”

“Senior Brother, you summoned us, so it’s natural for us to seize the time and catch up,” said Du Yanghe smilingly. “Anyhow, what about that brat, Yang Le? Didn’t you say that you were going to see him in advance?”

“That brat didn’t want to be associated with us. He simply flung his face away and left.” Yang Le sneered.

“He’s just refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit, I think.” Du Yanghe scornfully murmured. “Senior Brother, I’ll kill him today as long as you command it. Besides, that brat must have taken all the fortunes our Master left behind. We weren’t able to kill him last time, so I haven’t vented out the bottled up anger inside me.”

“Let’s look for him. If he doesn’t take out all the fortunes left by Master, then let’s just kill him.” Qiu Jian echoed. “I refuse to believe that he would rather keep all the wealth and doesn’t give a damn care to his own life, no?”

“Don’t worry. It’s not suitable for us to act in broad daylight now. Besides, I’ve already sent people to find his tracks. I’m sure that he just wants to escape now, and can’t shake off my informers,” said Yao Qinglong with a chuckle. “Anyhow, I’ll tell you the main purpose for your coming here. I need to get the formulas of the products of the Magnificent Tang Corporation. I’ll give each one of you 100 million yuan if you help me get them.”

Du Yanghe and Qiu Jian exchanged looks. Shocked expressions appeared on their faces. What shocked them the most was not because they had to steal the formulas of the Magnificent Tang Corporation’s products, but the compensation promised by Yao Qinglong.

100 million?

Even if they were both disciples of Thief Branch and also possessed good abilities and had their own businesses, the total wealth they had in hands was probably less than 100 million yuan.

“What a big deal, Senior Brother!” Du Yanghe exclaimed.

“A great deal indeed,” said Yao Qinglong with a chuckle. “The buyer is willing to pay 400 million yuan, and I originally intended to divide it equally between the four of us. But that brat, Yang Le, turned out to reject me.”

“It must be because the fortune left by Master is quite a lot!” Du Yanghe scornfully commented. “Else he would never ignore or be moved by this amount of money! Senior Brother, we must kill Yang Le to get the fortune left by Master. 40% will be yours, and we’ll take 30% each at that time.”

Yao Qinglong secretly jeered at him, yet he let out a satisfied smile on the surface, saying, “Well, since you agreed with the share, then welcome aboard. If Yang Le is willing to help me steal those products’ formulas, however, we must not attack him before the operation is over. We’ll only kill him after.”

“No problem!” Du Yanghe and Qiu Jian were as though seeing a huge fortune waving to them as they nodded in contentment.

They had long coveted the wealth left by their Master, but their strength was unfortunately under Yang Le’s. Eventually, they weren’t able to see even the shadow of a dime from that wealth. As long as they were able to kill Yang Le and get that wealth, they were pretty sure that even a 30% share would be equal to the pay promised by Yao Qinglong.
