Special Forces Medic-Chapter 784 - 751: Secret Meeting (Part 2)

"Lao Yao, I think you’re living more backward as you age." Wang Zhantian swirled his glass, gazing through the amber-colored alcohol at the small bits of ice melting inside. "If things are really as you say, with Hua Qingyi conducting an arrest in a completely legitimate manner, then why haven’t similar reports been released? You’re more aware than I am about the workings of the government. Isn’t it customary to boast any major accomplishments, to elevate the perceived value of you officials?"

Wang Zhantian’s words hinted at his prejudice against those in power. Yao Zheng didn’t take offense, yet within those words, he indeed caught a glimpse of something unusual. He had handed over evidence sufficient to sentence Yan Juanjuan to death, yet there hadn’t been the slightest response.

Yao Zheng felt extremely conflicted, staring at Wang Zhantian as if silently seeking answers. "Find someone for me."

"What do you intend to do?" Wang Zhantian understood what type of person Yao Zheng was looking for. When Ji Weihua personally called him, he foresaw what Yao Zheng might need; he had plenty of such people, but whether it was worth giving them was another matter. "You need to know these people don’t come cheap. If it’s not absolutely necessary, it’s better not to engage them." It’s not that he’s stingy; it’s just the truth. Dealing with these people is fraught with difficulties and mutual suspicion, akin to living on a razor’s edge.

"Money is not an issue, as long as they can get the job done. Preferably, a fresh face." Seeing Yao Zheng’s resolute expression. Wang Zhantian said nothing more.

"Who’s the target?"

"Hua Muyun!"

"What?" Wang Zhantian slammed the table and stood up abruptly, drawing the attention of the people behind the bar, who cast their glances towards them.

"What are you doing? Making a fuss, sit down." Yao Zheng pulled Wang Zhantian down. "What’s with your reaction?"

"I think you’re out of your mind!" Wang Zhantian sat back down and lit a cigarette. "Hua Muyun? Do you know what you’re about to do? Are you a dog driven to jump over a wall? Are you insane?"

"Before Hua Qingyi takes any action, we’ll deal with his elder. That way, we can eliminate all future threats without any worries." Yao Zheng’s plan was quite simple. "Without Hua Muyun, Hua Qingyi won’t achieve anything in the northern district."

Wang Zhantian squinted. Yao Zheng’s method might work, but... "Killing Hua Muyun isn’t hard, but there’s one person you didn’t consider."

"Who?" From Wang Zhantian’s tone, he didn’t seem to oppose killing Hua Muyun, which was a good sign for him. "Who else would obstruct us? We’ll kill them too; it’s not the first or second time we’ve done such a thing."

Heh, Wang Zhantian chuckled coldly, casting a sidelong glance at Yao Zheng. "If that person were easy to deal with, our Wang Family wouldn’t have ended up in such a sorry state, pushed out of the Four Great Families, and my son wouldn’t have died so tragically."

"Zhantian, I’ve always wanted to ask about your nephew, but I refrained due to your mood. How did the Wang Family, seemingly fine, get targeted like this? I rarely interfere with matters in your area of the northern district. You should have come to me." Yao Zheng grabbed Wang Zhantian’s hand. "Zhanting came to me then, but I found he didn’t have a strong desire or any specific requests. I assumed the matter was settled, but now I sense there’s more to it from your tone. Does it have to do with the person you mentioned?"

"Wang Zhanting came to you?" Wang Zhantian wasn’t aware of this matter. The relationship between Wang Zhanting and Yao Zheng could be described as ambiguous, with unclear interests always being dangerous. Of course, from his perspective, there was no need to interfere.

"He wanted my support for your family’s new heir." Yao Zheng took a sip of his drink. "Do you have a new leader in your Wang Family now?" The Wang Family now is not what it used to be; the person newly in position seems like Wang Zhanting’s puppet. "Oh, back then, Wang Zhanting seemed very haggard. He hoped I could also provide support from my end, hoping to use the northern district’s strength to back the Wang Family. Your son also left many investment projects with me at the time."

"Is that so?" Wang Zhantian retorted. "I have no objections to killing Hua Muyun, but are you sure of your chances? He’s not as easy to kill as you think."

"That depends on what kind of person you’re talking about."

"Xiao Family!" Wang Zhantian unhesitatingly uttered these two words, with Xiao Zhenfeng backing Hua Muyun, naturally allowing him to call the shots.

"The Xiao Family again!" Yao Zheng frowned upon hearing this; he almost forgot his other purpose for coming today.

"What, you know someone from the Xiao Family too?" This was news to him; he hadn’t heard of any interactions between the Xiao Family and Yao Zheng before.

"Speaking of which, there’s another matter I want to confirm with you." Yao Zheng redirected the conversation to the early stages of the Wang Family’s issues. "The investor recommended by the city committee also has a connection with your side."

"Sent someone to your side again?"

"Xia Family! The person coming this time is named Xia Xue, you’re not unfamiliar, are you!"

"Hmph, so it’s that woman, far too familiar." Upon hearing Xia Xue’s name, Wang Zhantian’s face twitched involuntarily.

"So the rumors are true?" Yao Zheng saw Wang Zhantian was so angry, he began to consider whether he should continue with this topic.

"What did you hear?"

"It’s said that at the engagement party of your nephew and Xia Family’s daughter, a mysterious person scammed them, and the amount involved was a billion yuan, which has become quite a tale." Yao Zheng spoke while observing the expression on Wang Zhantian’s face.

"You can’t blame others for this, it’s that useless son of mine who couldn’t catch her eye." Wang Zhantian put down his cup, his face flushed from drinking too much. "No one from the Xiao Family will escape my wrath."

"Zhantian, are you saying the person who snatched your daughter-in-law was someone from the Xiao Family? Wasn’t it supposed to be a young doctor?"

"Humph, a young doctor indeed? Clearly a wolf in sheep’s clothing, using some connections to threaten the Wang Family. I will definitely settle this account."

"Is that guy still in contact with Xia Family’s daughter?"

"Why are you asking so clearly?"

"Today Ji Weihua noticed something strange. The bodyguard with Hua Qingyi is from Dragon Soul, and during the kidnapping, I happened to be discussing the North District renovation case with Xia Xue and Qi Sheng in the office. Initially, I thought the person who came in to rescue us was the head of ’Black Crow’ because he recognized his subordinate. But Ji Wei told me afterward that Xia Xue has significant ties with Hua Qingyi’s bodyguard, so I came looking for you this time with the purpose of confirming a person’s identity."

"Oh? Is there such a thing?"

"Take a look at this person first, do you recognize him?" Yao Zheng pulled out an A4 paper and spread it in front of Wang Zhantian. "This man has always been by Hua Qingyi’s side, and he rushed in back then to subdue the kidnappers. I was puzzled at how someone unexpectedly came in, later to find out that the person he was saving wasn’t us, but Xia Xue. When Ji Weihua raised suspicion, I wondered if it could be the same person."

In the dim light, Wang Zhantian carefully scrutinized the printed face, immediately recognizing the individual. For further verification, he stood up and walked over to where the light was ample, studying the face meticulously.

"How is it?" Seeing him return, Yao Zheng impatiently inquired.

"Lao Yao, are you serious this time?" Yao Zheng was momentarily stunned by Wang Zhantian’s sudden question, before Wang Zhantian shoved the A4 paper back in front of him. "He is the future heir of the Xiao Family."

Wang Zhantian’s revelation left Yao Zheng speechless for several minutes, he had contemplated what Wang Zhantian’s answer might be, but he hadn’t imagined that the person’s identity would indeed be that of the Xiao Family’s heir.

"As an old friend, let me advise you, have you seen the fate of our Wang Family? Don’t engage in direct confrontation with the Xiao Family."

"Are you sure you didn’t make a mistake?" Yao Zheng couldn’t believe this young man who looked to be just in his early twenties could be the one who had challenged the Wang Family as that ’young doctor.’ "Confirm it again for me."

"Lao Yao, my son was killed by him, even if he turns to ashes I would recognize him." Wang Zhantian tapped a finger on the photo of Xiao Lin. "His name is Xiao Lin, the youngest and most pampered son of Xiao Zhenfeng. If you don’t have the strength or assurance, I advise you to find someone else to take responsibility, and forget about that woman you’re concerning yourself with."

"Zhantian, matters have already reached an irreversible stage, frankly I am already a thorn in his side. If it weren’t absolutely necessary, I wouldn’t be asking you for someone." The worst scenario was already apparent, Yao Zheng suddenly felt unprecedented despair, staring with dry eyes. "Just as if to my left is a ruthless BOSS, and to my right is Grim Reaper wielding a scythe, which path should I take?"

"You are racing against time now." Wang Zhantian nodded. "When do you plan to take action?"

"After the press conference, I will arrange for Hua Muyun to come to the North District, just at that time."

"It seems you have planned everything thoroughly." Wang Zhantian didn’t try to dissuade Yao Zheng, perhaps he really could accomplish something. "Then how do you intend to deal with this person, he’s very cunning."

"I will pin this kidnapping case on Yan Juanjuan, give them some clues to chase after, distract them first. My sole aim now is this."

Wang Zhantian glanced at Yao Zheng, about to say more, only to be interrupted by Yao Zheng. "At this point, regardless of which side I choose, the result remains the same, might as well take a gamble, perhaps there is a chance of survival."

"Let me know in advance when you need manpower, concerning the profit-sharing, it’s the usual arrangement."

"Hmm!" (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets, your support is my greatest motivation.)
