I Have 108 Older Sisters-Chapter 67
Chapter 67 – Live And Learn
Chu Yue quickly reached out to stop Yu Tian. She was afraid that he would act impulsively again, so she quickly asked, “Where are you going?â€
Yu Tian grinned at Chu Yue and said indifferently, “To get Du Jiaran here!â€
“You don’t know where he is now so why bother?†Chu Yue said coldly.
“Do you even need to say that?†Yu Tian narrowed his eyes slightly, he said in a deep voice, “Whose dog is Du Jiaran? I can just look for his owner. If it’s not Shao Mingzun or Zong Ming, no one else would dare to do anything to us. You guys wait here. I’ll be right back!â€
No one could stop Yu Tian. Everyone knew that the Chu family wanted Du Jiaran, yet they still dared to kidnap him. It was obvious that they did not put the Chu family in their eyes.
The Phantom Ghost disappeared from everyone’s sight.
Only Sheng Mingjie smiled coldly. Right now, Du Jiaran might have already been killed by his master. ‘Let’s see how capable you are to save his life?’
At the same time, in the basement of Zong Ming’s family manor.
A few men tore off the black cloth on Du Jiaran’s face. He squinted his eyes to adapt to the surrounding light. When he saw the few people who were staring at him covetously, he was instantly scared out of his wits.
“Gentlemen, we don’t have any grudges, right? My master, the head of the Black Gate, Shao Mingzun, is very hospitable. If you have any difficulty, just mention it. I will spare no effort to help you!â€
Du Jiaran’s pleas were not of any use. Instead, he was beaten up.
At this moment, the one-eyed old man, surrounded by his disciples, came to the basement. Fa, who was neither a man nor a woman, grabbed Du Jiaran’s chin and said sarcastically, “Do you think Shao Mingzun is a good guy? Think about how we can kidnap you so easily.â€
Du Jiaran looked at him as if he was a statue. He could not accept the fact that he had been betrayed by Shao Mingzun.
Fa turned around and said to the old man, “Master, kill him. Let that b*stard Yu Tian search for him like a headless fly!â€
The old man looked at Du Jiaran gloomily and said fiercely, “Keep him. This trash will become our bargaining chip. At that time, Zong Ming will have to listen to us!â€
“Understood, Master!â€
Fa agreed and knocked Du Jiaran unconscious with one punch. He asked someone to put him into a bag and carried him away immediately.
Shao family’s manor.
The moment Yu Tian appeared, all the bodyguards hid from him. They stuck their heads out and watched Yu Tian swagger into the villa. No one dared to stop him.
Shao Mingzun knew that Yu Tian would come. He poured a cup of tea with ease and said,
“Come, try my tea!â€
How could he be in the mood to drink tea? This old fool was relaxed even at this moment.
Yu Tian did not waste time with him. He said straightforwardly, “Where’s Du Jiaran? Give him to me. If not, let’s fight. Choose now!â€
Shao Mingzun picked up the teacup and took a sip. Then, he said slowly, “Du Jiaran isn’t with me at all, but I can tell you where he is. The condition is that I can continue to use the port to transfer my goods in the future!â€
Yu Tian had given Shao Mingzun face. It was already good enough that he did not get angry, but the old man still wanted to negotiate with him?
Yu Tian said disdainfully, “1’11 count to two. If you don’t tell me, don’t even think of saying anything else after this!â€
However, Shao Mingzun chuckled and said, “It’s useless to play hardball with me. If no one recognizes that batch of smuggled goods, don’t even think about your port. Even if you have the support of the Chu family, you can’t do it!â€
Yu Tian did not want to listen to his nonsense, so he wanted to make a move. Suddenly, he remembered what Chu Xin said. A tough fist might not be able to solve all problems.
Especially when dealing with an old and cunning person like Shao Mingzun, holding his interests was the most fundamental. Thinking of this, Yu Tian sat down. He picked up his tea and took a sip. Then, he said indifferently, “There’s no issue in letting you use the port. If you really want more benefits, don’t dwell on this issue. Just tell me where Du Jiaran is. If I’m satisfied, we can earn all the money we want in the future. Isn’t that wonderful?â€
Shao Mingzun frowned and was shocked. How did this kid learn to negotiate? What he said made sense. He had always thought that Yu Tian was just a kid. He did not expect that Yu Tian was more than what he seemed to be.
Shao Mingzun released his frown and laughed out loud. He said, “Let’s make money together.
Well said. Du Jiaran is in Zong Ming’s hands. You can go and ask Zong Ming for him!â€
‘This old man is setting up a trap for me again. He’s clearly trying to stir up a conflict between Zong Ming and me so he can sit back and reap the benefits. An old fox is indeed an old fox.’
Yu Tian put down the teacup and smiled indifferently. “You can even betray your own people. You’re indeed the leader of the Black Gate. But be careful. Being too wicked has its consequences!â€
Without waiting for Shao Mingzun to speak, Yu Tian laughed and turned to leave. Shao Mingzun could not say anything either. He was so angry that his face turned red and his neck was stiff.
He would not have been angry if they had really started a fight, but Yu Tian had learned to despise people. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got.
Yu Tian felt very good. It was even better than beating someone up. Soon, Yu Tian arrived at the entrance of Zong Ming’s manor. He happened to see Zong Ming leaving with his bodyguards.
When Zong Ming saw Yu Tian, he sneered and said, “So, it’s you. Have you learned how to walk through the door this time? How about I open the window and let you crawl in?â€
Yu Tian said indifferently, “There’s no need to go through so much trouble. I’m just here to cripple a few people. It’ll be done soon!â€
It went without saying that Zong Ming knew that Yu Tian was here to ask for Du Jiaran. He chuckled and said proudly, “Don’t bother. Du Jiaran is already dead. It’s useless even if I give him to you. No one will recognize that container. On the contrary, you guys just admit defeat. Don’t you want to fight? Come on!â€
Yu Tian was shocked. Dead? Was it real or fake? If Du Jiaran was dead, then the port will encounter a setback. He absolutely could not believe this trash’s words.
Yu Tian said coldly, “I think you’re laughable. Do you know why Shao Mingzun betrayed Du Jiaran? He just wants to stir up conflict between you and me so that he can reap the benefits. You’ve been in society for so long. Can’t you see that?â€
Zong Ming did not care at all and said arrogantly, “So what if I am? Do you think I’ll let Shao Mingzun go? That old fart will die in my hands, just like you. Then, the port will be mine.
“I think your skills aren’t bad. You can cripple Ming Wu. Why don’t you be my bodyguard? I can reward you with anything more than that little girl Chu Qing can. As long as we control the port, which is an important cargo passage for the Chu family, we can earn a lot of money.
“No one is rich without a windfall, and no horse is fat without grass. Follow me, and I’ll make sure you have a good meal every time. What do you think?â€.
