After Wen Xinya left, Si Yiyan walked towards the bar counter slowly and poured himself a glass of red wine, which glistened under the light.
Gu Yuehan stood beside him, still feeling cold and tense.
“How’s the arrangement going?” Si Yiyan asked, gently swirling the glass of red wine in his hand, the fragrant aroma of the premium wine wafting up to his nose.
Gu Yuehan said coldly, “We’ve already arranged for someone to scare Ning Shuqian and make her frightened out of her wits. She’s only been transferred to the hospital for two days and she’s already requested a change of ward. She’s even begun aggressively hiring bodyguards. She’s already lost her direction and composure. She tried to call a number which cannot be detected by the satellite.”
Si Yiyan swirled the wine glass slowly and asked, “Has there been any news regarding Shen Mengting?”
Gu Yuehan answered, “Strangers entered the asylum yesterday and I’ve already sent people to tail them. I believe there’ll be results very soon.”
Ning Shuqian’s accomplices had always been careful and stringent, for they were afraid of letting the cat out of the bag, especially since they were aware that Wen Xinya had a formidable backer. It was the very factor that would lure them into falling into Si Yiyan’s trap. On top of that, Ning Shuqian’s involvement would greatly catalyze the process. Although it was not an ingenious plan, Si Yiyan was smart with his tricks and he’d definitely gain the upper hand.
“Find out their identity within twelve hours. I don’t want to wait any longer,” Si Yiyan said, tilting the glass to let the crimson wine flow into his mouth.
Ning Shuqian would definitely think that Wen Xinya was the one who planned the assassination. Given how vicious she was, she’d definitely go all out and take action on Wen Xinya. It was just what he wanted to happen. After all, despair gave courage even to a coward.
Shock was written all over Gu Yuehan’s face. He asked, “Ninth Young Master, aren’t we being too eager? I’m afraid we might alarm them...”
Although Si Yiyan was the most patient person ever, he was clearly unable to keep his cool and stay patient when it came to Wen Xinya.
Si Yiyan looked at Gu Yuehan slowly and said, “I’m not afraid of alarming them. Even if we can’t get rid of them completely, we’d at least have to shake them and teach them a lesson.”
Gu Yuehan was greatly taken aback by his words. In his eyes, Si Yiyan had always been straightforward and resolute when making decisions, and scheming yet patient enough as well. As long as they had sufficient time, they could annihilate Ning Shuqian’s accomplices thoroughly. Yet, Si Yiyan was not actually bent on getting rid of them completely. It was not like him at all.
Could it be that he was too desperate and eager to even wait?
Si Yiyan gently raised the glass in his hand and said, “Gu Yuehan, those people have already begun taking action and we must keep our guard up against them. I can’t let Xinya be in danger; not even the slightest bit. I must ensure that she’s safe and be in control of her safety. I’ll do whatever it takes to get rid of anyone or anything that threatens her safety. There are plenty of chances to deal with those people, but I can’t wait any longer.”
The scene of Shen Mengting trying to stab Wen Xinya replayed in his head over and over again. He was terrorized and frightened out of his wits. Just like a childish adolescent, he made sure to get revenge as soon as he could, despite knowing that he might not be able to defeat them at one go. He was just about to avenge the love of his life and teach the culprits a lesson. There was still plenty of time for him to continue dealing with them in the future...
Gu Yuehan still found Si Yiyan’s decision to be a little too hasty. If he were to alarm the culprits, he would not be able to solve the problem at all and Wen Xinya would ultimately be in danger even though her safety was guaranteed for the time being.
Having understood his concerns, Si Yiyan said calmly, “Lately, I’ve been thinking about my parents’ death. My father knew of the existing problems within the Xiasi Group’s management. However, he just could not bring himself to get rid of all of those troublemakers and tolerated them again and again. At last... he did not manage to take action in time and those people managed to harm my mother. My father couldn’t take the regret and grief and ended up killing himself.”
Gu Yuehan could not help but feel terrified, for Si Yiyan had been refraining from bringing up his parents’ death. Hence, no one dared to mention it at all. To his surprise, Si Yiyan mentioned it first, although it reminded him of a traumatic past.
Trying to suppress his anger and grief, Si Yiyan said, “Sometimes, enduring is not the way to solve a problem. Had my father laid his cards on the table and exuded his authority first, those cowards would have thought twice before harming my mother. I won’t hesitate to kill those who try to harm my loved ones. Regardless of what method I may use, I’ll definitely get my revenge.”
Gu Yuehan asked fearfully, “Ninth Young Master, are you just afraid that you might follow in Ninth Master’s footsteps?”
Si Yiyan said coldly, “The greatest difference between me and my father is that my father had lost all of his willpower and allowed love to make his heart go soft. He lost his bravery and his scheming nature. At the end of the day, he ended up harming himself!”
He continued, “Unlike him... love made me become a demon with an iron heart. I’ll resort to every means to get what I want. The more power I possess, the more I can protect myself and the person I love.”
Gu Yuehan was at a sudden loss for words. He understood what Si Yiyan meant. He thought to himself, Ninth Young Master began believing in Buddha after being influenced by Madam, and he believes in karma. Ever since he took over Lucifer, he has been merciful when handling matters. However, ever since he got to know Miss Wen he’s become more and more relentless and everyone labels him as a ruthless, mercenary, cruel, and despicable person.
Si Yiyan said calmly, “People always say that you have to be strong for your mother. Actually... being tough for your loved one is also a quality that men should possess.”
He had to devise a scheming plot in order to earn himself the right to go against destiny.
“Got it, Ninth Young Master.” Hanging his head low, Gu Yuehan thought to himself, It might not be a bad thing if Brother knows that there’s someone in this world whom Ninth Young Master treasures greatly!
