Standing on the other side of the bathroom door while listening in on the conversation between the two people and the running water in the bathroom, Yan Liqiang's body froze. He didn't expect his father, who had just visited him today in the Pingxi City, to have actually been captured by someone else after parting with him.
Yan Liqiang tightly grasped the Horned Python Bow in his hands as his entire body quivered in anger. He wished so badly to turn around and barge in there to f*ck those two up inside. Yet his rational side was preventing him from taking such reckless actions in the heat of the moment. It would be wiser for him to gather more information from the mouths of these two people before making his decision on the best course of action.
Yan Liqiang's body froze like a statue on the other side of that bathroom door while he motionlessly continued to eavesdrop on the ongoing conversation inside.
"My little idea isn't nothing compared to Young Master Ye's." Wang Haofei chuckled mischievously, "I think if Yan Liqiang has any secrets, his father will most likely know. I heard that Yan Liqiang is a very filial son. He and his father relied upon one another for survival since youth. If Young Master Ye has Yan Dechang in your hands, you don't need to worry about Yan Liqiang refusing to submit obediently. Even if he has no valuable secret manuals on him, you can at least make him obey your orders…"
"That's right. That's why we must lead an ox by the halter. Everyone has their own weaknesses. Since Yan Liqiang isn't easy to deal with, to have his weakness in our hands would be the best way to force him into submission. Wait till I take good care of the Law Enforcement Office tomorrow so they will indict Yan Dechang with a few more criminal charges. In the future, the father and son can't even meet one another without approval from me!"
"I have no idea if that old geezer from Lu Clan is senile already. He actually wholeheartedly wished to pair Lu Beixin up with Yan Liqiang right after meeting him for the first time!" Wang Haofei pointedly said, "As long as Young Master Ye can get Yan Liqiang to submit, there will be no problems if you wish to get Lu Beixin through him…"
"I wasn't that angry until you mentioned Lu Beixin. You're simply useless! You're pretty good when it comes to dealing with other women so why are you acting so slow when it comes to Lu Beixin? You've been with Lu Beixin for so long, yet you cannot even seize an opportunity to get things done! Now, the hen has flown away and the eggs in the coop are broken [1]. Lu Beixin's father has grounded her. It'll be difficult for you to even see her from now on. What am I supposed to do about that?"
"Yes, yes, yes. Young Master Ye is right. I will definitely think of a way to help Young Master Ye get Lu Beixin by your side!" Wang Feihao smiled shamelessly.
Upon hearing the words exchanged between the two, Yan Liqiang found out that there was an ulterior motive behind Wang Haofei's courting of Lu Beixin. Furthermore, the motive actually turned out to be something so filthy, ugly, and simply nauseating. Wang Haofei wasn't in love with Lu Beixin. He only wanted to send Lu Beixin to this so-called Young Master Ye's bed. He wondered what Lu Beixin would think if she found out about this side of Wang Haofei.
"When Lu Beixin came to Pingxi City for the first time, she had a pretty bad impression of me after only meeting me once. I couldn't get close to her so I have to send you out. If that woman wasn't from the Lu Clan without so many people watching her, I would have sent someone to tie her up long ago. That woman has already passed the Horse Stance stage and is a virgin on top of that -- both her appearance and figure are top notch. She will be a good candidate as the cauldron [2] to my cultivation. One Lu Beixin is better than ten ordinary women. As long as I can refine that woman's primordial Yin, I'm sure I will be able to establish my Dantian and thus successfully establish my foundation…"
"That's for sure. With Young Master Ye's aptitude, you will definitely advance as a Martial Warrior in the future!"
"Goddammit, I didn't think that it would be this difficult to pass the Establishing Dantian foundation stage after losing my virginity a long time ago. If I knew things would turn out this way, I wouldn't be banging those maids back home. Even consuming the Foundation Establishment Pill that I obtained with great difficulty after all these years didn't help. In the end, I have to resort to relying on women to establish my foundation. But don't worry, as long as I can advance as a Martial Warrior, my father's position will naturally be passed down to me. When that time comes, I will be holding the Prefectural Governor's title and Huanglong County will naturally be granted to your Wang Clan…"
"Then I shall thank Young Master Ye!"
"No need to thank me. It's only natural for you to receive some benefits for helping me. When those two wake up after a while, I will deflower them. After that, you may pick one to play with a few days. The two women this time are a lot better than the ones that the Shatu people delivered last time…"
"Hehehe. Young Master Ye can grasp Yin Yang with the joyous, seductive technique and be able to use women to establish a foundation. Such enjoyment is yearned by many…"
"Hahaha, the experiences are indeed simply too wonderful for words. Those Shatu people seemed to have really put their utmost effort in doing this. It seems like the favors my clan has given them have not been in vain. Oh yes, speaking of the Shatu people, I suddenly recalled something. When Yan Liqiang first arrived at Pingxi City, he was involved in some drama with those Shatu people and that nearly destroyed the business deals we had with them. Now that his father is in my hands, if he refuses to listen to orders, I will hand his father over to the Shatu or let them find a woman to claim that she was raped by Yan Liqiang's father. Let's see if Yan Liqiang will kneel down when that time comes…"
Listening up to this point, Yan Liqiang felt as if there was a volcano simmering in his chest, about to erupt.
He finally could identify this Young Master Ye. The surname of the Prefectural Governor of Pingxi Prefecture was Ye. This Young Master Ye was undoubtedly the son of Pingxi Prefecture's Prefectural Governor.
While Yan Liqiang was attentively listening by the bathroom door, a man in his forties suddenly came out from somewhere about twenty meters away, in the opposite direction of this bathroom door.
That person walked on the thick carpet, and the sounds of his footsteps were also muffled like Yan Liqiang's just now. He turned around and saw Yan Liqiang standing by the bathroom door in a single glance. Yan Liqiang also spotted him at the same time.
"WHO…" that person shouted. Before he could dash towards the area, an arrow had already flown into his mouth and penetrated the back of his head. The man was sent flying with an arrow before he landed heavily on his back.
Naturally, the commotion outside had alerted those on the inside. Splashing noises could be heard in the bath.
Yan Liqiang barged into the bathroom without a second thought.
A screen faced the entrance. Behind the screen was a steamy, gorgeous, large bath of about forty square meters.
There was steam in the bath, but it wasn't thick enough to affect visibility.
When Yan Liqiang barged in there, he saw two naked men. They had already rushed to the side of the pool, looking for clothes to put on.
Yan Liqiang released an arrow...
"AHHHH!!!" Young Master Ye, who was about to retrieve his clothes, let out a blood-curdling scream. His palm, which had just barely touched his clothes, was nailed to the clothes rack by the arrow that Yan Liqiang released. Fresh blood instantly splattered everywhere. His yell was akin to that of a pig that was about to be butchered.
"DO NOT MOVE!" Yan Liqiang bellowed in rage as the second arrow was knocked onto the bow with lightning speed before he aimed it at Wang Haofei.
Wang Haofei froze butt-naked while he stood by the side of the pool. Either water droplets or beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
"How did you know that my father came to see me today?" Yan Liqiang shouted his question in an icy tone.
"Y-Your father…" Wang Haofei was tongue-tied, he wasn't able to react in time.
Yan Liqiang suddenly remembered that his face was still covered by the scarf around his neck right now. No wonder Wang Haofei couldn't tell who he was. With a finger, he pulled down the scarf that was covering his face and stared at Wang Haofei icily.
"You're Yan Liqiang…!" Wang Haofei exclaimed in shock, as if he had just been electrocuted by high voltage. His entire body trembled.
"You haven't answered my question. I shall count to three. If you refuse to answer, this arrow will claim your life."
"I'll tell, I'll tell…!" At this moment, with Yan Liqiang aiming his bow and arrow while he was naked and seeing how he dared to even shoot Young Master Ye just now, Wang Haofei fostered no doubts towards Yan Liqiang's words. "It was Qi Donglai… Qi Donglai who came to tell me…"
"How do you know Qi Donglai?"
"I knew Qi Donglai when he was still in Qinghe County. His uncle works for our clan, the Wang Clan. I knew that Qi Donglai knew you before, so I have him keep a close watch over you. He has also seen your father. When your father came today, he saw him and informed me…"
So that was the story. Seeing that Wang Haofei was done speaking, Yan Liqiang's hand slacked and the arrow flew out like lightning, embedding itself directly in Wang Haofei's chest...
Wang Haofei's eyes turned bloodshot in an instant. He lowered his head to look at the arrow in his chest, and then looked at Yan Liqiang who was looking at him with a frosty gaze. "B-But you said…"
"I said I would claim your life if you don't tell me. But even if you did tell me, I still want your life!" Yan Liqiang replied icily.
Wang Haofei spurted out a mouthful of blood after hearing his words. Then he fell backward into the piping hot bath, dying the water in the bath crimson.
At this moment, a set of frantic footsteps came from the outside…
