I looked at Lu Xiaoying in confusion: "Whether I can beat Sun Xiaomei or not, what does it have to do with whether I understand women or not?"
Lu Xiaoying explained: "There are too many women around Sun Yifan, which is why Sun Xiaomei is bound to fail."
"Women in modern society have not been brainwashed by the Three Obediences and Four Virtues, and will not willingly share their husbands with other women unless there is only interest but no love between them and that man."
Lu Xiaoying said: "Of course, there are infatuated people in this world who are willing to sacrifice their status and protect each other for their whole lives for love. However, it is a great fortune to meet one such woman in a lifetime. How many lifetimes will Sun Yifan have to cultivate to be so blessed if he meets seven?"
"So I say that even if Sun Yifan has all the tricks, he can't make the seven women live in harmony. Even if his seven women don't fight to the death in public, they have to compete with each other secretly. Just like this time when Sun Xiaomei stood up for Jie Jingwen, she might have the intention of competing for favor in front of Sun Yifan."
Lu Xiaoying said: "The harder we beat Sun Yifan, the more points Sun Xiaomei will lose among his many women. At that time, even if Sun Yifan doesn't say anything, Sun Xiaomei will lose her composure and come to negotiate with us on her own initiative."
I couldn't help but frown and said, "But didn't Grandma Dou say that those seven women were all devoted to Sun Yifan? If we act too harshly towards Sun Yifan, will we attract all of them?"
"No!" Lu Xiaoying said, "Although I don't know how to do business, I know that business is different from art. If they use other means, they will be despised by the big business, and Sun Yifan's business will be really difficult in the future. If you don't believe me, you can ask Ye Jin."
Ye Jin nodded and said, "Xiaoying is right. Don't worry, I will tell Yan Luo to be careful. This time, I won't let Sun Yifan kneel down and call me daddy until he loses all his money."
Ye Jin held up two fingers: "Two days, at most two days, I can get that woman to come over and apologize."
"Then we'll wait for two days!" After I lay on my back in the train for two hours, the train finally arrived at the station, and I chose to take Monk Shi off the train.
As I was helping Shi Heshang out of the car, Xie Jingwen's voice came from behind me: "Why don't you sit for a few more stops? Maybe we brothers can get closer."
Before I could even open my mouth, I heard someone grappling with gnashing teeth, "It's better for this liar to leave as soon as possible. If he stays, who knows how many people he will kill!"
Ye Jin finally couldn't help it: "Some things, you'd better not say them too early, who is the liar is still unknown! Don't wait until you are really slapped in the face, and then come crying and begging for help, it will be embarrassing."
"Why are there so many shameless people nowadays..." Before Xie Jingwen could finish his words, Sun Xiaomei interrupted him and said, "Jingwen, there's no need to argue with them. I prefer to see people kneeling down to apologize rather than bickering."
I looked at Sun Xiaomei coldly: "You are right. Someone has to kneel down in this matter. Let's wait and see who will be the one who is half a head shorter in the end!"
"Arrogant!" Sun Xiaomei said coldly, "I'll only give you one day. If you still haven't come to apologize by this time tomorrow, things won't be that simple anymore."
I turned a deaf ear to them and left the station with Shi Heshang. We found a hotel in a nearby county town and stayed there. Unexpectedly, we had just fallen asleep in the middle of the night when the police came to our door. As soon as the police came in, they said to Ye Jin who opened the door: "We have received reports from the public that someone here is taking drugs and engaging in prostitution. Please cooperate with the investigation."
"What did you say?" Ye Jin was immediately furious, and veins bulged on his hands that were gripping the door frame, as if he couldn't control the urge to hit someone.
I quickly walked over and stopped Ye Jin, and let the police into the house. The police looked around the house, and although they did not find any signs of drug use, they turned out all our weapons.
Our weapons are all controlled knives, and the steel tips are extremely good. No matter how you look at them, they are deadly weapons. If you look carefully, you will find that every weapon is stained with human blood. If the police really want to dig deeper into the case, none of us will be able to escape.
The leading policeman looked at me unkindly and said, "Come back to the police station with us!"
Ye Jin clenched his fists, and his fingers suddenly made a crisp sound, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes without any concealment. His action immediately alerted the police on the opposite side: "What are you going to do?"
"Ye Jin, don't move!" I turned around and scolded Ye Jin, "Go with them. If we go in, there will be people who are more anxious than us. Besides, don't we still have Xiao Ying?"
Ye Jin sneered and let go of his fist, letting the police take us back to the police station. I stayed in the police station for the whole night, and the next morning, the police politely invited me into the meeting room.
When I walked in, Lu Xiaoying and the others were already waiting inside. A senior police officer was explaining to Lu Xiaoying: "Captain Lu, we really don't know..."
Lu Xiaoying waved his hand and said, "It's just a misunderstanding. Besides, you are just performing official duties, it's no big deal."
Lu Xiaoying has a national security identity, so if he really pursues the case, it will be difficult to settle it peacefully. The other party was relieved to see that Lu Xiaoying had no intention of pursuing the case. Lu Xiaoying changed the subject and said, "However, bringing me back has affected my mission, so you must cooperate with me to make up for it."
The man said seriously, "Captain Lu, please assign the task. We promise to fully cooperate."
Lu Xiaoying said, "Someone will definitely come to bail us out or visit us in the next few days. You just insist that we are carrying controlled knives and that we assaulted police officers in the police station, and we will not be granted bail. No matter how much pressure there is from above, you cannot release us unless we say 'get out'. Do you understand?"
"No problem!" The man agreed immediately and transferred us all to the detention center.
Soon, all kinds of news came in. Ye Jin held his phone and laughed, "Yan Luo is really awesome. He destroyed half of Sun Yifan's empire in just one day. He lost at least 500 million."
Ye Jin called Ye Yanluo without waiting for me to say anything: "Yanluo, spread the word that we are going to cause trouble for Sun Yifan. Whoever cooperates with Sun Yifan will be bankrupt. Those who are implicated by Sun Yifan will be compensated for any loss. However, if anyone is found to be cooperating with Sun Yifan again, we will immediately strike with all our strength."
Soon after Ye Jin put down the phone, another piece of news came in. Ye Jin grinned and said, "Little guy, I'll kill you. In just half an hour, more than 30 people have cut off their relationship with Sun Yifan."
"Yan Luo, you've done a good job. Now you must focus all your efforts on attacking the families of the seven women who followed Sun Yifan. You must act in an open manner and not do anything that breaks the rules... That's right! Beat them until they are seriously injured before dark... That's right, leave them a breath, don't really beat them to death."
A hint of coldness flashed in Ye Jin's eyes: "Sun Xiaomei? Hehe, if you can't make her whole family go out begging for food, don't call me brother."
After Ye Jin put down the phone, he realized that I was looking at him with a strange expression, and immediately grinned and said, "Excuse me, excuse me! I'm just too familiar with Yan Luo, and we usually talk like this."
I was just about to make a joke when a policeman hurried in: "Captain Lu, the police called and said that someone brought several lawyers to bail you out. Look..."
Lu Xiaoying didn't even raise his eyelids: "Have them hold them back. Tell them not to worry. I have already notified the General Administration, and your bureau will receive the order soon."
After the policeman left, I said, "Let's get ready. We may have guests coming tonight."
I knew Sun Xiaomei would definitely come, but I didn't know how to deal with her. Although my grandfather gave me some antidotes, they could only deal with ordinary poisonous snakes. I was still very afraid of the poison master under Sun Xiaomei.
However, some things that are bound to happen can never be avoided.
Soon after it got dark, I heard three light and two heavy knocks on the door. It was the signal that the gangster was visiting his friends.
I said "Please come in" calmly, and then turned my eyes to the clock in the room: "It's just nine o'clock, and Madam Sun has arrived, an hour earlier than I expected."
Sun Xiaomei, with a gloomy face, walked straight to the chair in front of us and sat down. The two people behind her moved close to the chair and stood behind Sun Xiaomei.
I also looked at the face of the man besides Li Jingwen. He nodded expressionlessly and said nothing, but I saw a stiffness on his face similar to muscle necrosis—the man was either wearing a mask or his muscles were damaged by long-term use of poison.
Sun Xiaomei asked before I could open my mouth, "Wu Zhao, in the battle between the arts and the Dao, you used means other than the arts and the Dao. Do you want to challenge the rules of the arts and the Dao?"
I sneered and said, "Madam Sun, I must remind you of one thing, that is, negotiations must be conducted with a negotiating attitude. If Madam Sun is here to question me, then I can tell you that there are at least two rows of armed police on standby in this building. If you don't want to become a wanted criminal, it's best not to speak in this tone."
Sun Xiaomei said coldly: "Wu Zhao, I also need to remind you that the art of magic has its own rules. Using power to oppress others is a taboo in the art of magic. If you don't want to become the public enemy of the art of magic, you'd better put away those tricks."
Sun Xiaomei looked me straight in the eye and said, "Before we start negotiating, you'd better first confirm your identity. Are you a person of the art of war or a person of the officialdom?"
I have to say that Sun Xiaomei is indeed no ordinary person. Even when we were at a disadvantage, she still posed a difficult problem to me.
If I don't give a good answer, not only will my original advantage be gone, but I will also have no chance of gaining a foothold in the art in the future.
