Ouyang Junwei nodded. His father was right. If Liu Jihao spoke of this, it would do him no good whatsoever. First of all, the kidnapping alone was enough to land him in hot water, and besides, Yang Ce would have been lured here by him tomorrow—which made him an accomplice.
After Ouyang Junwei returned to his room, Ouyang Kanqi summoned his capable subordinate, Delay Hero 001, to his room.
"Boss, you wanted to see me?" Delay Hero 001 had been in his room eating lamb skewers and drinking xiaoshao when he got Ouyang Kanqi's call and hurried over.
"Well? Are you confident about tomorrow?" Ouyang Kanqi glanced at Delay Hero 001 and asked.
"Heh, he's just a snot-nosed kid," Delay Hero 001 said carelessly. "Tomorrow I'll finish him off with a single blow, guaranteed."
Ouyang Kanqi frowned at that. "Don't underestimate your opponent. This Yang Ce has some martial skill."
"So what if he does? However good he is, can he compare to an assassin?" Delay Hero 001 curled his lip.
"That's not how you put it." Ouyang Kanqi waved his hand. "This time it's revenge for my youngest son. I don't want any accidents—I don't want the boy slipping away."
"Don't worry, boss. No one has ever escaped from under my hand," Delay Hero 001 said smugly.
"Mm, as long as you know it. Go back and get some rest early." Ouyang Kanqi waved his hand, dismissing Delay Hero 001.
On his way back to his room, Delay Hero 001 thought with some disdain that the boss really was getting old and overly cautious. It was just a little brat—was there any need for such fuss and fanfare? Never mind himself; even if his own apprentice came, he'd still take out that so-called Yang Ce just the same.
With that thought, Delay Hero 001 didn't take Ouyang Kanqi's warning to heart at all. Back in his room, he turned on the TV, went on eating lamb skewers and drinking xiaoshao, and happily watched the model beauty contest on screen.
That night, neither Zhang Bin nor Wang Mei could sleep.
"Zhang Bin, you're so lucky to have a boss like that." After the past two days' events, Wang Mei was filled with gratitude toward Yang Ce. First he'd put up ten million to buy a house for her and Zhang Bin, and now he hadn't hesitated to put up twenty million in ransom to get her parents back from Liu Jihao.
"Heh, what kind of bond do the boss and I have?" Zhang Bin said proudly. "Three years of high school together—we were as close as one person."
"Hah, keep flattering yourself. Then how come you're not as impressive as Brother Yang?" Wang Mei turned over and gave a little huff.
"Impressive or not, you're about to find out right now." Zhang Bin rolled over and lay on top of Wang Mei.
"Oh! What are you doing? You're still in the mood for this now?" Wang Mei gave a soft cry—but soon she began to moan. In the room across the way, by contrast, Yang Jiyan slept soundly. A trip to Macau had settled just about everything that needed settling. Small fry like Liu Jihao weren't worth Yang Ce's worry at all.
Su Ya's matter was resolved; Wang Yanqiu's matter was basically resolved—at the very least, he'd built a certain trust with Wang Yanqiu, and that would help him infiltrate the inner workings of her organization.
Huang Yan, on the other hand, was a rather troublesome problem. A lover—ha, that sounded rather novel. Yang Ce had never imagined that he would end up in that kind of relationship with a girl while being the passive party.
This legendary "reverse conquest" had actually happened to him. And the greatest gain from this trip to Macau was, without a doubt, learning the other secret of his glasses: they allowed him to change his appearance. That ability was nothing short of extraordinary—used properly, it could solve a great many problems.
