Chapter 1254: Her Trap
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Once the ladies had left, Jiang Chenghuan, who was standing under the huge umbrella, turned serious. The smile on his face was pretty much gone.
Teasing Yun Xi was one thing, but they were all there for a serious discussion.
What had happened in the recent past had forced Jiang Chenghuan to look at Yun Xi in a different light.
Even though she had had a lot of help from Mu Feichi, the way she had set up the chessboard and moved the chess pieces was admirable.
Targeting the Han family first had indeed been the best start they could have asked for. They had always had the urge to bring the Han family down, but they’d never found the right timing.
With Yun Xi taking the lead, the Han family was slowly but steadily walking into her trap, just as she had planned.
If the lady hadn’t taken the reins with her meticulous planning, they would’ve had a hard time trying to topple the balance of power in Jingdu because there was too much that they had to worry about. It would eventually have ended up not happening.
Huo Tingxiao, who had been quiet the whole time, capped his water bottle and turned to look at the two ladies with eyes that were covered by sunglasses. “Chenghuan, can’t you see that the power is going to shift in Jingdu?”
“I do.” Jiang Chenghuan nodded. “I just can’t believe that this day has finally come. Jinzhi has been a good judge of people just as he always has. If we all cooperate, then we will be invincible here.”
Mu Feichi gently smiled. His calm demeanor was starting to change as if a rock had been dropped into a well, causing ripples.
“From what we know about Han Hongbin, he’s not going to abandon the Han Corporation easily, and he will never give up his position as one of the big four wealthiest families,” Huo Tingxiao said and turned to look at the man next to him. “You had better be prepared for anything.”
“It’s natural that Han Hongbin won’t let go of the Han family’s position. But, this is all a part of Yun Xi’s plan,” Mu Feichi explained. “That’s why she has found a way to force the Han family to side with the Prime Minister and push the Qiao family’s position up. The Qiao family had always been supporting the Prime Minister in secret, but they would have soon become open about it. Even if they are on the same side, the Qiao family will take the Han family’s position, and their beef will continue. When that happens, Yun Xi plans to use all that to make the Prime Minister lose both the Han family and the Qiao family.”
Her plan could kill two birds with one stone. She also still had a hidden card that she hadn’t played yet. Things were only going to get even more interesting.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Chenghuan finally understood what Mu Feichi meant and suddenly raised his head. “So, she’s going to use the Han family to become enemies with the Qiao family and use the fight between them to weaken her opponent. This is an amazing plan.”
“Looks like we’ll have something to look forward to.” Huo Tingxiao smiled, finally showing signs of interest in his always disinterested eyes.
The reason the two of them had asked Mu Feichi to meet was that they wanted to see if they could help with anything. However, after hearing what the Young Commander had to say, they understood that all they had to do was patiently wait for the good news.
Yun Xi alone was more than capable of handling this intrigue in the big four wealthiest families.
Mu Feichi smiled and got up, walked toward Yun Xi, who was in a position ready to swing a golf club, and hugged her from behind.
When Yun Xi felt someone touching her from behind, her grip tightened and she turned her head back. She looked at the man standing behind him, and her posture that she had taken a lot of effort to get right became a complete mess.
“A…are you guys done?”
“Yes.” Mu Feichi nodded and gently kicked her ankles to separate her legs. “Here. You are standing the wrong way.”
The man took the lady by her waist with one hand while the other wrapped around her and grabbed her by her wrist.
“Separate your legs, relax your body, lean forward a little, and grip the club tightly…”
As he continued to speak, his deep voice circled around her head while his warm breath hit her ears. She couldn’t help but quiver a little.
Her calm, relaxed manner became anxious in an instant. Even her breath was starting to get too fast.
Yun Xi completely had no idea how the man’s teasing was always able to get into her head and make her imagination go wild at any given time.
