Chapter 525 - The Deal (Part Two)

Yang Muyan?

Jing Yichen got slightly startled.

He had been seeking Yang Muyan for a month now and still failed to find anything.

However…

“My men can find this woman. It may take some time, yet we are definitely going to find her. If that is your bargaining chip, you can leave now.”

Jing Yiran knew that Jing Yichen would not have agreed to his proposal so easily.

He stayed silent for a minute before finally saying, “If Yang Muyan is not enough as the bargaining chip. What about Tang Yun’s background?”

Finally, a flash of cold light went across Jing Yichen’s eyes and he looked affected.

Jing Yichen might care nothing about Jing Yiran, and a little bit about Yang Muyan, but he desperately wanted to know about Tang Yun and the forces behind her.

He knew nothing about them, and had fallen into their trap long ago. However, his rival disappeared, leaving no trace behind, ten years ago and now they had reappeared.

It was indeed an unusual strategy of the rival. Jing Yiran and Yang Muyan, compared to this person, were actually quite predictable and familiar.

But he had no clue of who had been behind Tang Yun all this while.

And even Tang Yun, whom he thought that he knew well, had been totally unpredictable. He only knew that despite her recklessness, she had revealed nothing of her secret background.

The rival had been hidden in darkness for ten years and Tang Yun was just one of the tools sent to his side. Now that the tool was gone, they had started to send even more men to pry information out of him.

However, they seemed to be only looking for information. For a very long time, they had done nothing more.

But Jing Yichen did not believe that they only needed information.

The rival was way too calm!

And he had no idea who he was fighting against.

The more unclear the information of the rival was, the bigger pressure Jing Yichen felt about it.

Besides, their previous plan had been so perfect that even he was fooled.

He had gone through inhuman torment and even regarded Tang Yun, the real killer, as his savior!

Jing Yichen went cold whenever he thought of this matter.

What intelligence must that person possess so as to come up with such a plan that had fooled him completely.

Jing Yichen had always been a confident man and sometimes conceited, as well. He believed that he was capable and educated enough to guarantee that he could face all kinds of challenges, including the intentions of his rivals.

But when it came to Tang Yun, he had been trapped like never before.

The people who were involved in this incident years back, were all killed by Jing Yichen. But only now did he realize that those people were of no importance and the real culprit must be watching him all this time like a joke!

He had been investigating them and trying hard to find some clue, but no progress had been made. He had checked Tang Yun out thoroughly and her background. But these people were impenetrable. He had also destroyed the camp of the Tang Family in the USA, but no useful information had been discovered from there, as well. None of them had any idea of what happened eleven years ago!

The Tang Family must have been the culprit, but the real planner remained in the shadow.

He was fooled again.

The rival seemed to know him well and the way he worked. The rival also seemed to have a clear knowledge of what the Jing Family was capable of and was always able to dodge them.

Could Jing Yiran know who that person was?

“You know who is behind Tang Yun?”

Jing Yichen soon regained his usual composure. He had no difficulty in confronting the difficulty, otherwise he would have killed himself eleven years ago without being able to stand the torture. Now, eleven years later, he had grown stronger.

Hearing what he said, Jing Yiran let out a sigh of relief and said, “I know somethings, but not all. What I have found may not be as much as what you have found, but Tang Yun revealed something and I got someone to check it out. I can more or less be certain about who was her backer.”

Seeing Jing Yiran’s expression, Jing Yichen knew that he was not lying. Also, if his information was from Tang Yun, then the information would truly be beyond what he had found.

If he was able to remove the strong rival hidden in the darkness, he could think about protecting Lu.

“Tell your information to Tiger and when I confirm the information, I will make the Jing Family protect Lu again.”

Having said the words, Jing Yichen strode away, leaving no more room for Jing Yiran to do any further negotiation.

Jing Yiran felt wronged when he saw his retreating arrogant figure.

He considered himself to be a conceited man, but now he had to bend down in front of Jing Yichen and that made him feel very uncomfortable!

He kept reminding himself that Lu had almost lost her life for his sake, and it was nothing if he bent down in front of Jing Yichen once.

Whatever the payment was, he must make sure that Lu could live a steady life.

She was a girl who had led a more miserable life than he did. He had never had the feeling of wanting to protect someone so badly as he did right now.

Jing Yiran felt his heart calm down when he thought of the wounds on Lu’s body and the things she had to do during the past month.

He started to tell Tiger about the confidential information he knew.

“Tang Yun’s backer is someone really well established. I don’t have enough capability to find out everything. You can do that. Leave Yang Muyan to me, I will contact you after I find her. Also, I need some money!”

Tiger nodded with an honest look. “I will report it to the Master for approval. I can’t make the decision.”

Jing Yiran needed money to do the work for Jing Yichen. Jing Yichen was definitely going to give him the money except that it would not be a large amount.

He had already reached his purpose of today. The clue he offered would surely be of great help for Jing Yichen. He was not going to break his promise and Lu was certainly going to be safe.

Tiger left after he got the information, leaving Jing Yiran standing alone, facing the vast sea.

A long while later, a supple body took hold of him from behind.
