My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 1066: No Way Out
He thought his stratagem was flawless, that Third Young Master Jun had no power to resist or didn’t dare to resist. But he hadn’t expected that this man had already secretly notified his subordinates back home to come and rescue Ye Lu, and he was clueless about how, or even when, the notification had happened.
All night he had his time dragged out by him, played like a fool, while believing he held the winning ticket.
Gu Yan was so frustrated he felt like he could die, angry yet helpless.
In the end, he was not just one level below Third Young Master Jun in terms of strategy and tactics!
He could only watch powerlessly as Feiyu Ilid led a forceful invasion, watch as Ye Lu was taken away, and once again fell into the palms of Third Young Master Jun, with his temples throbbing fiercely.
He stood on the staircase after the chaos, his eyes casting a twisted shadow, and snickered coldly.
"So what if she has left, soon, you’ll experience the pain of being abandoned. When you see Third Young Master Jun wanting to be with Yiren, I wonder if you can avoid turning against each other."
Having lost significant arms and been seriously injured, Third Young Master Jun would have to rely on the Ivan Family for help if he wished to procure a batch of perfect arms in a short period.
Third Young Master Jun had previously rejected Yiren because there were other options available.
But this time, he was utterly out of choices. If he failed to complete this task, he would inevitably die in the Golden Triangle. His death was one thing, but the godfather would not let Ye Lu go; this he could not tolerate.
So, no matter what, he had to win, had to find a replacement for the arms.
Then, when he was out of options, he would have to choose Yiren, swallowing his pride.
He would just watch as they turned against each other.
...
A fierce battle came and went quickly.
In a blink, Ye Lu was back in the villa, taking a breath of relief, her forehead still covered with a thin layer of sweat.
Yet her gaze was deep, thoughtful. From the recent skirmish, it was evident that Gu Yan’s bodyguards were unexpectedly strong, not at all like ordinary bodyguards. Gu Yan, a businessman, how could he have such formidable people at his disposal?
To dare to strike at Old Ling in front of Third Young Master Jun, this was not something one could do simply by holding a gun; it must be supported by a vast background in both the legitimate and the underworld.
Her eyes gleamed.
It seemed then, that Gu Yan was just a puppet on the surface, and the real puppet master behind everything was the ultimate enemy.
Only by finding the true orchestrator could the problem be solved at its root.
When she asked Feiyu, Feiyu simply glared at her, annoyed, scolding her: "You, a pregnant woman, should stop meddling in these dangerous affairs. You nearly got me killed this time. Hmph, when Third Young Master comes back, he’s sure to take it out on me harshly. There goes my year’s salary."
Feiyu was quite depressed. He had just spoken with Third Young Master on the phone, reported the situation, and assured that Ye Lu was now safe and sound, which significantly reduced Third Young Master’s rage.
But he still got a severe scolding and was warned not to tell Ye Lu about what happened tonight. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Feiyu knew, on one hand, it was Third Young Master’s pride at play, not liking to use such sacrificial tactics to move Ye Lu. Third Young Master always had a strangely strong sense of self-respect regarding these matters, insistent that Ye Lu’s love must be due to love for him, and nothing else.
On the other hand, Third Young Master was worried about Ye Lu’s pregnancy. Knowing too much would only bring her worry and anxiety, without being able to do anything about it. So why bother troubling her? Letting her rest easy and stay healthy for the delivery was his greatest wish and his duty as a husband.
