How could Yi Wude have imagined that Shen Yingnian not only sold himself, but also abducted his granddaughter.
At this moment, he is still working diligently for the Feng Shui business.
The next day, he received an invitation from Mr. Huo to attend a birthday banquet at the Huo family compound.
This was just Mr. Huo’s birthday, and Mr. Huo was used to keeping a low profile, so this birthday party was just a home-cooked meal, and a few close relatives were simply notified.
Yi Wude went there early.
This is also what Mr. Huo meant.
Old Master Huo was still worried that Yi Wude and Xiao Chen would have friction when they met, so he simply called the two of them over early so that they could drink tea and have a chat. It would be best if Yi Wude could "enlighten" Xiao Chen.
If persuasion really doesn't work, for the sake of their birthdays, the two of them will definitely try to restrain themselves to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Yi Wude disagreed. He felt that with his superb physiognomy skills, he could definitely subdue that little charlatan.
When he arrived at the Huo family compound, in the huge manor, Huo Mingyu was taking a walk with old man Huo.
After the notification, Yi Wude was led by the servant to the two men.
"Old sir." Yi Wude bowed.
Mr. Huo nodded and smiled, and said to his grandson: "This is the Master Yi I was talking about."
Long before Mr. Huo introduced him, Huo Mingyu had already looked at Yi Wude seriously.
He naturally recognized that Yi Wude was the mastermind behind Shen Yingnian.
In an instant, Huo Mingyu's mind raced and he realized that something was very strange!
He was sure that his grandfather's acquaintance with Yi Wude was no coincidence!
It is very likely that Shen Yingnian instigated this!
What is their purpose in doing this
Make trouble!
Huo Mingyu immediately realized that the acquaintance between Yi Wude and his grandfather contained signs of conspiracy.
But on the surface, he still pretended nothing had happened and greeted Yi Wude.
"Master Yi, I still have to accompany grandpa to the pond to feed the fish. Let me ask someone to take you in to have some tea first." Huo Mingyu suggested.
Yi Wude agreed without much thought.
Looking at Yi Wude's back, Huo Mingyu supported his grandfather as they walked towards the pond, whispering, "Grandpa, do you think this man is reliable?"
Old Master Huo knew that his grandson had deliberately sent Yi Wude away, so he smiled and said, "Are you worried that this person has other intentions in approaching me?"
Huo Mingyu whispered, "I know this Master Yi... According to the news, Shen Yingnian has contacts with this Master Yi. I suspect that Shen Yingnian was able to defeat Xiao Chen several times because of this Master Yi behind the scenes... Now that Master Yi is approaching you, Grandpa, I'm afraid he wants to do something bad!"
As a result, Mr. Huo's reaction was surprisingly indifferent. He sneered and said, "Do you think I would rashly invite someone to my house without even checking these basic details?"
Huo Mingyu was stunned for a moment. It turned out that his grandfather had seen through everything, so why did he still do such a bold move
Mr. Huo didn't answer in a hurry. He walked to the pond, took the feed and started feeding the fish.
When ripples appeared on the surface of the pond, Mr. Huo spoke slowly:
"I'm not old and confused. I can tell at a glance what kind of people are trying to get close to me. This Master Yi is quite capable. How could he, a master, set up a stall in the park early every morning? And I happened to meet him at this special time, as if he was waiting for me to come. It's like a pre-set script."
Huo Mingyu secretly sighed at his grandfather's shrewdness and asked, "Since you can see it, why did you invite him to your home and let him meet Xiao Chen later? Forgive me for being stupid and not understanding."
"I just want to ask one question, how could a young man like Shen Yingnian, who only seeks pleasure, defeat Xiao Chen several times?" Old Master Huo asked in return.
"It should be this Master Yi who is behind this." Huo Mingyu answered with certainty.
"That's right, so strictly speaking, this Master Yi is Xiao Chen's biggest rival at the moment." Old Master Huo said slowly: "Now Xiao Chen is obsessed with revenge and has almost developed a demon in his heart. No one can persuade him, so let's just cut the Gordian knot and let Xiao Chen eliminate this demon himself!"
Huo Mingyu was immediately speechless.
Meeting Mr. Huo's deep gaze, he finally understood his grandfather's thoughts.
That’s right, the current Xiao Chen, after experiencing these storms and blows, seems to have become a different person, with his heart filled with hatred.
Revenge is right, but how to take revenge is the key. If Xiao Chen continues to be impulsive and willful, he may repeat the same mistakes and fall into the enemy's trap.
Xiao Chen’s enemy seems to be Shen Yingnian, but in fact it is the master behind Shen Yingnian, Yi Wude!
Yi Wude's approach to Mr. Huo must be part of his plan to deal with Xiao Chen, such as a strategy of sowing discord.
Old Master Huo knew the truth, but he did not expose it. Instead, he took advantage of the situation and facilitated the meeting between Yi Wude and Xiao Chen in order to create an opportunity for Xiao Chen to kill Yi Wude. In this way, Shen Yingnian would be nothing more than a grasshopper in autumn and would not be a concern.
"Xiao Chen has already lost the conspiracy and scheming. If he continues to take revenge, he will be in great danger. He may even end up in jail. So I simply invited Master Yi here to give Xiao Chen a chance to defeat his opponent fairly. As long as he can defeat Master Yi, Shen Yingnian will no longer have a backer, and Xiao Chen's crisis will be solved." Old Master Huo told his plan.
Huo Mingyu nodded repeatedly.
That’s right, this incident has proved that Xiao Chen is no match for Shen Yingnian when it comes to conspiracy.
If you want to have the best chance of defeating Shen Yingnian, you must first defeat Shen Yingnian’s biggest backer, Yi Wude!
As long as Xiao Chen's absolute strength prevails, no matter what schemes and tricks Shen Yingnian uses, they will be in vain!
But Huo Mingyu still hesitated and asked: "But what if Xiao Chen can't defeat this Master Yi?"
"If he can't beat Master Yi in a fair fight, then it means he is inferior to Master Yi in skills. There is no need to think about revenge."
As Mr. Huo spoke, he threw a handful of feed into the pond, attracting a group of fish in the water to scramble for the food.
"Whoever has the most ability will be able to eat his fill. If Xiao Chen can't make it past this hurdle, then this is the limit of his future. We don't need to worry about it anymore."
Old Master Huo sighed and said, "It's not a good thing for Xiao Chen to be so arrogant at a young age. Now he has been hit hard. What I hope most is that he can learn from his mistakes and improve his character."
“But what if Xiao Chen doesn’t appreciate our kindness and instead thinks we are looking for someone to replace him? This might backfire.” Huo Mingyu said worriedly.
"If he really thinks so, then even if we do nothing, his relationship with us will gradually drift apart. If he causes a bigger disaster later, we may even be implicated." Old Master Huo pondered, "But for the sake of caution, you should first inform Xiao Chen and tell him our plan. Now that the enemy's main general has been lured here, whether he can capture him in one fell swoop depends entirely on his own ability."
As soon as he finished speaking, a servant came running over and reported, "Master, Mr. Xiao Chen is here."
Huo Mingyu's heart suddenly trembled.
The fish in the pond seemed to sense the dangerous aura and swam away in panic.
