Chapter 189: Chapter 186: Game and Killing Intent

The banquet concluded, and everyone dispersed.

After bidding farewell to Zhao Shiyan and the others, Chu Mengyao drove off with Ye Fan.

"I’ve heard Ye Fan has a cousin named Ye Juanjuan and an uncle and aunt. If I start from there, I’m sure I can impress Ye Fan’s brother," Zhao Shiyan schemed to win over Ye Fan’s family.

In the car, Meng Hao and Ji Tian, who had left the banquet early, revealed their true selves.

Their early exit from the banquet did not stir much attention.

"Damn it, bastard, I want him dead," Meng Hao cursed in anger. Now that he could speak, he was filled with rage at the humiliation Ye Fan had inflicted upon him, vowing to make Ye Fan pay a painful price.

He grumbled, "Have you found out anything about that guy’s identity and background?"

"Despite leveraging all my contacts, we haven’t unearthed his past," Flying Rat responded, unwilling to concede.

"Dig deeper for me. I refuse to believe he just fell out of the sky," Meng Hao ordered.

Since the last time at Zhao Shiyan’s birthday party, when Ye Fan appeared with Chu Mengyao, both Meng Hao and Ji Tian had become curious about Ye Fan’s identity, using their respective means to investigate but with minimal results.

"This time at the banquet, I only intended to make an appearance to establish a good relationship with Miss Shen Tingting, which would be beneficial for future business, especially to secure the Jinluo Bay project. I never expected such a twist of fate, not even getting a chance to meet Mayor Niu or connect with Shen Tingting—a complete fiasco," Meng Hao vented his discontent.

"Young Master Meng, there’s no need to worry about this matter. The Jinluo Bay project will certainly be ours. The Chu Group competing with Young Master Meng is akin to a rock attempting to break an egg," Flying Rat understood this logic. While the Chu Group was substantial, it was not on the same level as the Meng Family.

"That’s for sure," Meng Hao said confidently. "That juicy piece of meat, Jinluo Bay, has many eyes on it. I must secure it and defeat Chu Mengyao. Then, naturally, Chu Mengyao will look up to me."

In business, he had his own plans and would not compromise or back down. If he let Chu Mengyao surpass him, how could he pursue her? He needed to prove himself stronger than Chu Mengyao to deserve her attention. Otherwise, if he couldn’t even secure one project, how could he attract the First Businesswoman’s gaze?

"As soon as Young Master Meng takes action, victory is assured. Winning over President Chu is only a matter of time," Flying Rat flattered.

"I like the sound of that," Meng Hao laughed delightedly, then cautiously said, "But let’s not be careless. Tell the company team to focus all their efforts on the Jinluo Bay project. Additionally, prepare a grand gift; I want to pay a visit to Mayor Niu and Shen Tingting."

"Yes, I’ll arrange it right away," Flying Rat complied.

In another car, Ji Tian and the Military Advisor were also discussing strategies.

"The Chu sisters showing up together at the banquet is a great courtesy to Mayor Niu. In social circles, face is everything. Now, with the Jinluo Bay project, Mayor Niu will definitely consider the Chu Group. More importantly, Shen Tingting, Mayor Niu’s relative, is female and easily connects with the Chu sisters. Considering various factors, emotionally, Mayor Niu is likely biased towards the Chu Group," Ji Tian analyzed softly.

"Young Master Ji, we have two options: one, help the Chu Group to gain President Chu’s favor; two, obstruct the Chu Group, which could also alter President Chu’s attitude towards you," the Military Advisor lightly adjusted his glasses and smiled.

"Oh, let’s hear it," Ji Tian was slightly curious.

"Young Master’s relationship with President Chu hasn’t been great. If you take this opportunity to help the Chu Group secure the project, President Chu’s attitude will naturally soften. No matter what, it’s a good deed. Even if President Chu is unapproachable, she won’t turn a blind eye to those who’ve helped her," the Military Advisor said seriously. "As for obstructing the Chu Group, if done secretly, no one will know it’s us. Given Meng Hao’s nature, he’ll want to defeat President Chu in business to win her affection. We have no business dealings with the Chu Group, so the biggest beneficiary of obstructing them would be Meng Hao. To President Chu, it would surely seem like Meng Hao’s using underhanded tactics. This way, Meng Hao’s image in President Chu’s eyes would take a big hit."

Ji Tian pondered for a while, then chuckled, "Your idea is good, but let’s drop the notion of helping Chu Mengyao. With the talent pool at the Chu Group, they don’t need my assistance. I think openly obstructing the Chu Group and framing it as Meng Hao’s doing would tarnish Meng Hao’s reputation with Chu Mengyao, increasing my opportunities."

After careful consideration, Ji Tian made up his mind.

"Then I’ll start plotting right away, getting some trusted Meng Hao associates to join us," the Military Advisor revealed a thoughtful expression.

"Your plan is good, but it won’t be easy to get Meng Hao’s people to betray him," Ji Tian hesitated. This concern wasn’t unfounded; the Meng Family, as market moguls, wouldn’t raise people who might easily betray them.

"Don’t worry, Young Master Ji. I already have a point of entry," the Military Advisor smiled confidently.

"Oh, let’s hear it," Ji Tian said with interest.

"We can start with the Fierce Tiger Gang. It’s well-known that while the Meng Family’s surface business dealings are legitimate, their shady dealings are managed by the Fierce Tiger Gang," the Military Advisor said confidently. "Getting Meng Hao’s associates to switch sides is nearly impossible and would raise suspicions. But recruiting from the Fierce Tiger Gang should pose no problem, minimizing suspicion so no one knows we’re the orchestrators."

"Let’s do as you plan, but be cautious not to reveal our identities," Ji Tian emphasized.

"Rest assured, Young Master Ji. As a Military Advisor, I’m not just a figurehead," the Military Advisor stated proudly. "I already have a wise strategy to make those involved believe Meng Hao instructed them."

"Good, I’ll sit back and watch a good show," Ji Tian laughed flamboyantly, then mumbled, "I’ve already asked the military district to help investigate Ye Fan’s identity. To know oneself and the enemy is to ensure a hundred victories. I want to find Ye Fan’s weakness before making a move. If he dares to approach the woman I fancy, I’ll make sure he doesn’t even know how he dies."
