Though I really didn't want to speak, I still hummed in acknowledgment, signaling that I had received the message.
"Sister Shuang mentioned that Wang Yangming's situation is quite serious. It seems he was taken away by someone overnight!"
"It looks like the birthday banquet scheduled for today is likely to be canceled."
"And Liangshan Town... might be in for a change."
As he said this, Leng Meng's tone became exceptionally grave.
Hearing this, I didn't reply but instead mulled over the unspoken implications of Leng Meng's words.
As if accustomed to my silence, Leng Meng suddenly added, "This time, you haven't just stirred up trouble in Liangshan Town, you've also made Sister Shuang taste defeat in the matter of the Huadu Casino!"
"You released the photos and videos in advance, disrupting all of Sister Shuang's previous plans."
"Sister Shuang won't let this matter go so easily."
"You, you... be careful."
After speaking, Leng Meng directly hung up the phone.
After ending the call, and combining it with what Leng Meng had said earlier, I had already formed a rough inference and conclusion in my mind about Wang Yangming's fate.
Being taken away overnight before the birthday banquet meant he most likely wouldn't be coming back...
At this point, the heavy stone that had been pressing down on my heart regarding revenge had, without a sound, turned into a pile of dust and finally dissipated.
Although the vast disparity in strength had forced me to resort to unconventional methods in this matter, and the process had been fraught with difficulties and twists and turns, the outcome was, fortunately, quite satisfactory.
In the end, Wang Yangming received the punishment and retribution he deserved.
As for the insatiably greedy Queen Bee, Yu Shuang...
And the people around her, I no longer wished to have any further contact with them.
From beginning to end, Yu Shuang had been exploiting my hatred for Wang Yangming to further her own personal gain.
If Yu Shuang had chosen to be honest with me from the start, perhaps our cooperation could have continued.
But now, with the premature exposure of the photos and videos, the benefits she valued had all turned into fleeting illusions overnight.
Reaching this point was entirely her own doing.
If she truly resented me because of this and wanted to retaliate... then we would simply have to drop the pretense and fight it out with real swords!
With Wang Yangming's matter settled, there was nothing left that I needed to dwell on.
Hatred was both the driving force on my path forward and my weakness.
And now, my weakness... was gone!
If Yu Shuang still intended to scheme against me, she would have to weigh her options carefully!
...
As the battle downstairs entered its final stages, all I could think about at this moment was to quickly conclude everything here and then rush back to Anhai.
Just as Cheng Minglang and I descended from the rooftop of the unfinished building, I received a call from Su Liuli.
On the phone, Su Liuli said she had dealt with the ghost lurking around her and had successfully rescued Han Jinlun.
Furthermore, Su Liuli asked where I was, saying that Han Jinlun seemed to have something important and was insistent on coming to find me.
Upon hearing this, I felt a surge of speechlessness.
What important matter could he possibly have!? It was nothing more than wanting me to fulfill my promise and help him "liberate his lower half"!
Judging by what had happened tonight, I seriously suspected that Han Jinlun's muscular physique served purely to attract female attention.
And he himself was all show and no substance.
During the few days I spent staking out the casino with him, Han Jinlun was either seen behind scantily clad women or loitering around the entrance of the casino's women's restroom.
Several times, due to this strange and unbelievable behavior, he was stopped and questioned by the security personnel.
In Han Jinlun's eyes, no serious matter was ever more important than women!
Before I knew Han Jinlun, if someone had told me that sexuality could be addictive, I likely wouldn't have believed it.
But now... I believed it.
Even at this moment, Han Jinlun was still thinking with his lower half!
It seemed that this guy wasn't just horny, but like gambling or drug addiction, he had become addicted to the matters between men and women.
No wonder Han Qingmei hadn't brought him along.
If Han Jinlun had been brought along, it's likely that not much money would have been earned, and the few girls around Han Qingmei would have all been corrupted by him!
Someone like Han Jinlun, who couldn't even control his own lower half, was best kept at a distance.
Otherwise, I would eventually be dragged down by him.
Thinking this, I was about to reply to Su Liuli, telling her that I had already left Longxi.
However, just as Cheng Minglang and I were preparing to cut through a small path on the side to leave Fengyang Street...
Suddenly, a long and piercing car horn blared through the entire Fengyang street.
Immediately after, a black Elantra sedan sped towards us like lightning from the side of the road behind us.
This sudden turn of events made both Cheng Minglang and me freeze in surprise.
As the Elantra passed us, I heard a very familiar voice from inside the car.
"Brother Xiang, hurry up and get in! Quick, quick!"
With that, Han Jinlun braked the Elantra and stopped beside us.
Seeing this, I could only find a casual excuse to hang up with Su Liuli and then opened the car door, getting into the car with Cheng Minglang.
Before my butt had even settled, the Elantra was put into reverse.
And under Han Jinlun's control, the car reversed all the way from the end of the street back to the beginning.
Then, after reversing back to the start of the street, Han Jinlun stepped on the accelerator, and the Elantra shot forward.
I have to say here, although Han Jinlun is lustful and lewd, and also unprofessional.
He does possess a tiny bit of shining merit.
For example: his driving skills are very impressive.
From the moment I got into the car, to him maneuvering the steering wheel in reverse back to the street, and then accelerating away just now.
During this process, the car basically didn't sway left or right.
It was very agile, very graceful... and also very fast!
As we drove onto the main road, Han Jinlun burst into laughter, "Hahaha~ Brother Xiang, you're really something!"
"Sister Su told me it was you who asked her to bring people to rescue me."
"Oh right, where are we going now?"
Without even thinking, I knew that everything Han Jinlun had said earlier was irrelevant small talk, and only the last sentence was the main point.
He wanted to confirm with me whether, after wasting so much time tonight, there was still a chance to enjoy the nightlife and "liberate his lower half"...
Hearing this, I didn't answer. Instead, I gestured towards the car and asked with some confusion, "You have a car, yet you still got caught by those people?"
Upon hearing my words, Han Jinlun, while steering with one hand, shook his head slightly and said, "I rented the car specifically for tonight's activities."
"Besides, I wasn't caught by them; I went with them willingly!"
