Chapter 161: 154 finds unpleasing to the eye

He Xuewen only stayed in Beijing for three days before returning home, having arranged with Yang Wenbin to visit again next month, and then they would visit Mr. Yun. Yang Wenbin did not urge him to stay longer; the day before his departure, Yang Wenbin didn’t go to work and instead took He Xuewen on a shopping spree in the streets.

Liu Jinyi, upon learning that He Xuewen hurriedly left, was puzzled about what trick He Xuewen was playing. Suddenly coming to Beijing and then suddenly rushing back—completely baffling!

Could it be...? A possibility suddenly dawned on Liu Jinyi. Could He Xuewen have offered the He Family Treasure Vault to the Yang Family? Since He Xuewen had lost his wife and child, could he, in a moment of desperation, have offered the He Family Treasure Vault to the Yang Family in exchange for their help against him?

No, impossible. He Xuewen is no fool; he should know that the Yang Family cannot touch Liu Jinyi. With this thought, Liu Jinyi quickly dismissed the idea. He closed his eyes to reflect and, after a long while, he still did not consider the possibility of He Xuewen visiting Mr. Yun.

Although Mr. Yun was Liu Jinyi’s archenemy, even Liu Jinyi himself did not understand why Mr. Yun was against him. He did not recall having offended the Yun surname fellow, nor did he dare to.

Fortunately, for the past years, Mr. Yun had led a reclusive life, rarely involving himself in politics. Otherwise, Liu Jinyi’s life wouldn’t have been so carefree. That’s why Liu Jinyi never even considered the possibility that He Xuewen could establish a connection with Mr. Yun; in his opinion, Mr. Yun surely would not bother with the He Family’s minor issues.

However, man’s calculation is no match for heaven’s. Liu Jinyi could never have imagined that He Xuewen would turn to the very man he most feared, Mr. Yun, and that they would get along rather well.

At this moment, Liu Jinyi’s patience had worn thin. Last night, at the young widow’s place, he found himself underperforming, and although the young widow kept praising him for being vigorous despite his age, he could clearly see the irony on the woman’s lips! No, he could not wait any longer. Even if He Xuewen had the support of some local tycoons, what did it matter?

Recently Mr. Yao had praised him, saying he was efficient in his work. Hmph, as long as Liu Jinyi could connect with those four figures, even if He Xuewen had great abilities, it would be useless against him.

The more he thought about it, the more complacent Liu Jinyi felt. He made a call to two of his underlings, instructing them to set out for Sui City as soon as possible. They had to find He Xuewen, and by any means necessary, they were to uncover the location of the He Family Treasure Vault.

Yun Family

Luo Datou finished his cup of wine in one gulp and praised, "Not bad, this wine is really good. The He Family Wine truly lives up to its reputation; no wonder Liu Gongji is desperate to snatch this treasure."

Liu Gongji is Liu Jinyi, and Luo Datou, who had always disliked Liu Jinyi’s bootlicking, referred to him as Liu Gongji. In Luo Datou’s own words, wasn’t a man dressed in finery just a crowing rooster?

Mr. Yun leisurely savored the wine, watching Luo Datou guzzling his drink with a helpless shake of his head, thinking it was a waste of good wine. However, the young master from the Yang Family was right, this wine was indeed beneficial to one’s health. After only drinking it for two or three days, he began to feel a warmth in his usually cold body.

He had sustained serious injuries in the past, survived by the skin of his teeth, but his body had suffered greatly. Even in the sweltering heat of June, he felt as cold as a corpse, like a dead man. He had thought that for the rest of his life, until death, he would never experience the feeling of boiling blood again. Unexpectedly, the He Family Wine brought him hope.

Well, for the sake of the fine wine sent by the young lad from the He Family, he might as well spare him this once! Liu Jinyi is cruel and vicious; it has been ten years now. Probably he doesn’t have the patience to wait any longer, right?

"Datou, go and send a message to Liu Jinyi for me. Tell him I really like the fine wine from the He Family."

Luo Datou laughed, "Mr. Yun, you’ve finally taken action. Why be so polite? I could’ve knocked that rooster out with one punch."

Mr. Yun gave him a sideways glance, "If I wiped them all out, how am I supposed to enjoy the show? Just leave them be, a little warning will suffice!"

"Sure, whatever you say, Mr. Yun." Luo Datou chuckled, seemingly recalling something, then asked, "Mr. Yun, what did that rooster do to offend you anyway? You pluck his feathers every now and then, causing a huge commotion."

Luo Datou found it quite strange; after all, he had been following Mr. Yun for quite some time now, since he was eighteen, but he had never seen Liu Gongji offend Mr. Yun. (Liu Jinyi cried, I want to know too.)

Could it be something that happened before Luo Datou started following Mr. Yun? But back then, Mr. Yun and Liu Gongji hadn’t even met, so what grudge could there be?

Mr. Yun put down his wine cup gently and looked at him askance, "If he had offended me, would I still let him strut around up to now?"

"That’s true, but then what is it for?" Luo Datou was even more confused. If he hasn’t offended Mr. Yun, why does Mr. Yun always pick on him?

"It’s nothing much, just that I find him irritating, teasing him for fun!" Mr. Yun said nonchalantly, as if talking about something very ordinary. (Liu Jinyi fainted, ancestors, I’m not that bad-looking, why oh why do you just have to find me so displeasing?)

Luo Datou seemed unphased, even concurring, "He really is annoying, with that bootlicker’s face. Alright, I’ll go give that rooster the message now, lest we arrive too late and miss out on the good wine."

When Liu Jinyi received Luo Datou’s verbal message, he had just finished a phone call. Luo Datou stood in front of him pompously and relayed Mr. Yun’s words, then added:

"Liu Gongji, if you dare to act against our wishes and cause Mr. Yun to miss out on good wine, don’t blame me for being ruthless, got it?"

"I got it, Jinyi wouldn’t dare to disobey Mr. Yun’s instructions." Liu Jinyi shivered with fear, oh ancestors, why did you let this Living Yama out? Wasn’t this Living Yama supposed to be accompanying Old Man Yun in chanting and fasting? How is it that the more he fasts, the fiercer he gets?

"Glad you understand. By the way, got any good stuff lately?" Luo Datou was very satisfied with Liu Jinyi’s compliance.

Liu Jinyi inwardly moaned, yet flattered outwardly, "Yes, yes, I’ve been waiting to present them to your honored self. Would you like me to deliver them to you, or will you take them yourself?"

"Are they heavy?" Luo Datou’s glare was menacing, frightening Liu Jinyi into trembling as he hastily replied, "Heavy!"

Luo Datou laughed with satisfaction, heavy was good. He knew this rooster had been skimming the best for himself, "Alright, then you bring them to me. You remember Mr. Yun’s and my preferences, don’t you?"

"I remember, Mr. Yun likes antique things, and General Luo likes shiny things, Jinyi always keeps that in mind!"

Liu Jinyi nodded and grinned obsequiously, but his heart was bleeding. The precious treasures he had gathered over the years were going to waste again. Heavens, why are you so blind! Wasn’t it said that the guy with the surname Yun was in poor health and went to recuperate? But it’s been over a decade, how comes he hasn’t kicked the bucket yet!(To be continued.
