But now everything had become clear. The instant Yang Ce heard the words "Boss Yun," he had basically pieced together how it had all happened.
This Yun Guangdu was quite interesting. He had actually devised such an elaborate, interlocking scheme to sow discord between Yang Ce and Sun Jie. Well, of course—the fellow was secretly in love with Sun Jie, but constrained by the relationship between Heng and Sun Jie, so all he could do was find a way to drive a wedge between them from the middle.
"If I'm not mistaken, it was Shuying who sent you, wasn't it?" Yang Hengye asked Lü Silong with a smile.
"Huh?" Lü Silong's mouth fell open. He could not fathom how on earth Yang Ce had guessed it.
"Don't 'huh' me. One look at your face and it's obvious that's how it is," Yang Ce waved a hand at Lü Silong. "You don't need to say anything more. I've basically figured out what's going on. Da Hou, take him away and find somewhere to lock him up for now."
"Yes." Hou Lin grabbed Lü Silong directly by the collar and hauled him up, stool and all, and dragged him out the door.
Yang Ce began to ponder the ins and outs of the matter. And to be fair, this little performance of Yun Guangdu's was really quite ingenious. Earlier, he had deliberately left a flaw for Yang Ce to find, so that Yang Ce would return to the coffee shop to look for Lü Silong.
And Lü Silong had first put on a whole show of suffering, preferring death to submission. Only at the very end did he pretend to be at the end of his endurance and reveal the mastermind behind it all. To anyone else, Lü Silong's words would surely have seemed the truth—but Yang Jiyan could peer into his thoughts and saw straight through his little trick.
And to be fair, if Yang Ce's relationship with Sun Jie had not been as close as it was, or if Yang Shuoxuan had not possessed supernatural abilities, then perhaps he really would have believed Lü Silong's words.
Yun Guangdu. Interesting. It had been a long time since he had seen him stir, and Yang Ce had thought he had given up. Who would have guessed he would play a hand like this?
"Da Hou, ask that Lü Silong for Yun Guangdu's phone number," Yang Ce said, calling Hou Lin and giving the order.
Lü Silong's thoughts had already been guessed by Yang Ce, and with the matter exposed, there was nothing left for him to hide. Whatever Hou Lin asked, he answered.
But Lü Silong was only a minor underling, and he did not know much. Knowing Yun Guangdu's mobile number was already the limit of what he had.
Having obtained Yun Guangdu's mobile number, Yang Ce dialed it directly.
"Hello, who is this?" Yun Guangdu asked, looking at the unfamiliar number.
"Boss Yun? This is Yang Ce," Yang Ce said carelessly.
"Yang—Yang Ce?" Yun Guangdu's tone was plainly startled, though he quickly recovered his composure. "Who are you? I don't know you."
"You don't know me? You've got a subordinate named Lü Silong who says you sent him," Yang Yongjin said unhurriedly.
"..." At Yang Juehuan's words, Yun Guangdu's face turned green on the spot. At first he had clung to a shred of hope, thinking that Yang Ce's call was merely a coincidence, about some other matter. But now, hearing Yang Yanzhou mention Lü Silong, he understood at once: Lü Silong must have spilled everything. Damn it, that Lü Silong—what a spineless piece of trash, good for nothing.
Of course Yun Guangdu could not admit it. "What Lü Silong? I don't know this person."
"Yun Guangdu, I'm telling you—whether you know Lü Silong or not, you have three days to get out of Songjiang. I don't want to see you again," Yang Shuoxuan said, unwilling to waste words with him, and threatened him outright.
