Chapter 449: Chapter 449: The Show Begins

To Lei Danyun and Wu Ziyue’s surprise, after explaining the situation, Wang Chenning directly asked them for another favor.

"Don’t you want to practice the tricks I taught you in a real-world scenario?" Wang Chenning asked, a smile playing on his lips as he looked at the surprised and indignant faces of Wu Ziyue and Lei Danyun. "You came to find me so early today, so you must not have anything else going on. Since you’re free, let’s go stir up some trouble together. I’ll give you some special drugs in a bit. You can test out their effects so you’re not caught off guard by how they work in a real fight!"

"Fine!" Lei Danyun rolled her eyes at Wang Chenning. "I’ve got nothing planned tonight anyway, so we’ll play along with you. But when we’re done, you have to pay us!"

"The way you say that makes it sound like we’re making some kind of shady deal!" Wang Chenning grinned. "If the vice squad heard you, they’d probably haul us in for questioning!"

"How crude," Lei Danyun snorted irritably, then walked over to sit down, motioning for Wang Chenning to hurry up and lay out the plan.

"You’ll work with me, and we can get a look at each other’s real combat skills. If you feel I still have things worth learning, then by all means, learn a thing or two!" Then he instructed Wu Ziyue, "You’ll take the other two with you."

Wang Chenning had Wu Ziyue take Wang Liqing and Wang Liyu to go cause trouble for Bai Qianxun, while he and Lei Danyun would go and properly deal with Zhang Guoping and Wu Linhan.

Among Yandu’s great families, Zhang Guoping’s Zhang family, Wu Linhan’s Wu family, Zhao Xiao’an’s family, and Bai Qianxun’s Bai family were the most distinguished.

Zhang Guoping and Wang Chenning were already on the verge of open hostility. His relationship with Bai Qianxun was still amicable on the surface, but the two were constantly scheming against each other and making subtle moves. Wang Chenning had no dealings with Wu Linhan for the time being—they hadn’t even met—but Wang Chenning knew this particular playboy, whose capabilities were no less than Bai Qianxun’s, had pulled plenty of strings behind the scenes.

Even if Wu Linhan hadn’t been scheming behind his back, Wang Chenning still wouldn’t have let him off the hook.

’To make the situation in Yandu increasingly complicated, I have to drag everyone into it.’

’I have to incite conflict between these people, pulling all of Yandu’s major families into the game I’m setting up. Then I can watch the tigers fight from my perch on the mountain and reap the fisherman’s profit.’

Wang Liqing and Wang Liyu were truly quite capable. They had previously set up surveillance to monitor the movements of these few playboys. After Wang Chenning gave them their assignment, it only took them about twenty minutes to ascertain everyone’s whereabouts.

Bai Qianxun was going to a private club tonight to meet with friends. They couldn’t figure out the full guest list, but they knew the main attendees.

Lin Yijing was also a top-tier playboy in Yandu. Although the Lin family’s status wasn’t on par with the Bai family’s, as Bai Qianxun’s cousin, he was handsome and capable, with a prominent reputation in Yandu’s circle of scions.

Lin Yijing and Bai Qianxun had always been on good terms. Bai Qianxun didn’t admire many people, but he held his cousin in high regard.

The two of them often hung out and worked on joint projects together.

The purpose of their get-together tonight wasn’t clear yet, but that should become clear in a few hours.

There was another well-known playboy in Yandu named Hu Wencheng. He was Zhang Guoping’s cousin, but his abilities couldn’t compare to Bai Qianxun’s cousin, Lin Yijing.

Hu Wencheng was handsome and tall, and he took full advantage of these assets, living out his youth in a very carefree style.

The number of his girlfriends and female companions was likely approaching the size of a military company.

Coincidentally, Zhang Guoping and Hu Wencheng were having dinner together tonight.

Wu Linhan was with them too. The group probably had something important to discuss.

Whether they had any plans after dinner was currently unknown.

It was after hearing Wang Liqing and Wang Liyu’s report that Wang Chenning decided to make his move, taking advantage of this rare opportunity tonight.

After listening to Wang Chenning, Wu Ziyue seemed to realize something and asked in a low voice, "What about Lin Yongnian? You have such a huge grudge against him. Aren’t you going to deal with him again?"

"He’s not doing anything tonight!" Wang Chenning said, glancing at Wang Liqing and Wang Liyu. "We’ll ignore him for now. If nothing happens to him tonight, a lot of people will probably start suspecting him. I just got back to Yandu last night, entertained Li Fuzhen and Li Yanxian at Li Garden Hall this afternoon, and then saw them off at the airport. I’m sure everyone thinks I’m too busy to be involved in any troublemaking!"

Wu Ziyue nodded and didn’t ask any more questions.

Wang Chenning didn’t give any specific instructions on how to teach these people a lesson, only telling them to act according to the situation.

His only order was for them to succeed; failure was not an option.

"You’re really underestimating us!" Wu Ziyue rolled her eyes at Wang Chenning in dissatisfaction. She said no more, and left with Wang Liqing and Wang Liyu.

***

The intelligence Wang Liqing and Wang Liyu had gathered was indeed accurate. Bai Qianxun was in fact with Lin Yijing tonight.

In the past few days, they had successfully pulled off something quite significant, and tonight the cousins were getting together to celebrate properly.

Bai Qianxun was someone who loved to have fun, especially when it came to thrilling games.

Tonight was no different. To that end, he had even called over a few rather influential celebrities, as well as several beautiful female escorts.

However, Lin Yijing, who was equally particular about these matters, didn’t seem very satisfied with the women arranged for the evening.

Bai Qianxun understood what his cousin meant and had someone go find a few foreign women.

About twenty minutes later, one of his men came to report that three very beautiful foreign women with great figures had arrived: one from Japan, one from South Korea, and another from North Korea...
