Chapter 185 Testing Each Other

The moment Huo Tingying and Yun Mu left, Yun Shumo ordered for Si Nanjue to be released as well.

Just then, Yun Shumo's phone rang.

As soon as he answered, Yun Shuiyao's furious voice came through.

"Second Brother, how could you let Si Nanjue go just like that? What are you doing?"

"Yao'er, are you giving orders to your brother?"

When Yun Shuiyao heard Yun Shumo's cold and drawn-out voice, she was taken aback and quickly suppressed her anger. "No, it's just that we had agreed before, right? I offered you five times the price to break one of Si Nanjue's fingers."

"That money was from the land you bought from me, and Si Nanjue's finger was bought by Huo Tingying for three hundred million. Yao'er, your brother can't turn down money..."

Upon hearing this, Yun Shuiyao almost couldn't help but lash out in anger.

Yun Shumo had always been rebellious since childhood, rarely returning to the Yun family home more than once a year. Yun Shuiyao didn't know him very well.

In recent years, he seldom returned to China, but whenever he did, Yun Shuiyao felt that her Second Brother had become much colder towards her.

Therefore, she dared not offend this unpredictable Second Brother rashly.

"Since that's the case, then consider it Si Nanjue's luck this time. We'll have to find another opportunity later."

Yun Shumo paused, then slowly asked, "Yao'er, do you have a grudge against this Si Nanjue? You want to break his finger; I heard he's a doctor. Aren't you trying to ruin his career on purpose?"

Yun Shuiyao explained, "When the old lady of the Si family refused to take me as her disciple, I formed a grudge with the Si family. Asking for one of Si Nanjue's fingers is already lenient."

Since she dared to ask Yun Shumo to help her get Si Nanjue's finger, she wasn't afraid that he would guess her real intentions.

Yes, she wanted to prevent Si Nanjue from performing surgery on Grandpa Yun!

She had already entered the Huo family, and the next step was the wedding.

If she were to kill Grandpa Yun now, there might be complications. So she chose to target Si Nanjue instead.

But now, it seemed she had no choice but to expedite Grandpa Yun's demise.

"I see, I thought there might be some other reason."

Yun Shumo smiled indifferently, then suddenly changed his tone, laced with coldness. "However, your brother still has to remind you. You've caused enough trouble recently. Be careful or you won't be able to clean up the mess."

Though said casually, the words carried an oppressive aura, tinged with a warning.

Yun Shuiyao's eyelids twitched, feeling that Yun Shumo seemed to have guessed what she was about to do.

"Thank you for the reminder, Second Brother. I understand."

Yun Shumo hung up the call, a hint of coldness flashing in his fox-like eyes.

Grandpa is still his grandfather; he hoped Yao'er wouldn't make a foolish mistake in this matter.

...

At the Huo residence, Yun Shuiyao was so angry she wanted to smash her phone on the ground, but immediately realized she was at the Huo residence. She took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed her anger.

She never expected Yun Shumo to change sides for money, ruining her entire plan!

If it weren't for the fact that someone was seen by Yun Mu a few days ago and couldn't show their face again, she wouldn't have entrusted this task to Yun Shumo.

Now, she had no choice but to use the power of the END organization. However, she had recently diverted a large amount of funds from the organization to help Huo Jinzhou rapidly expand the Lanyu Group, which had already alarmed the higher-ups.

If this continued, she feared her fake identity and the jade pendant would be exposed.

Then she would truly be doomed...

But if she allowed Grandpa Yun to wake up and testify against her, she would also be dead. It was better to take a chance.

After much struggle, Yun Shuiyao finally took out her phone from the drawer.

She dialed a strange number.

The call connected.

After a while.

Yun Shuiyao spoke mysteriously, "Transfer to Group 1."

A cold mechanical female voice replied, "Password."

Yun Shuiyao then whispered several numbers into the phone, and the call was immediately connected.

During the call, the other party respectfully greeted Yun Shuiyao.

Yun Shuiyao tightened her grip, giving instructions.

"I need you to handle someone for me, within three days, cleanly and without leaving any traces."

"After arranging the personnel, I will send the information of this person to the organization."

With that, Yun Shuiyao immediately ended the call.

Throughout the conversation, the other party did not utter a single word.

But Yun Shuiyao knew they would definitely help her complete this task.

Yun Shuiyao hurriedly put the phone back in its original place.

At that moment, there was a knock at the door.

Opening it, Huo Jinzhou stood there with one hand in his pocket, his handsome face cold and stern, looming closer.

Yun Shuiyao felt a slight unease, as if she was being watched.

"How did you get here?"

"Can't I come?" Huo Jinzhou countered.

Yun Shuiyao released the doorknob and walked back to her vanity, saying, "This is the Huo family residence; you can come and go as you please. But if you're here to thank me for those projects, there's no need."

She turned her head, flicking her long hair, her eyes glinting, "Because my goal isn't to help you, but to bring down Huo Tingying."

This time, Huo Jinzhou wasn't provoked by her words. Instead, he closed the door behind him and chuckled, "Trying to bring down Huo Tingying with just a few projects is quite naive."

Yun Shuiyao smiled, "This is just a declaration of war against Huo Tingying. He must have realized by now that the masterminds behind the Lanyu Group are you and me. The real game has only just begun."

Huo Jinzhou pondered Yun Shuiyao's words, then probed, "Declaring war on the Emperor Group, it seems your backing is formidable indeed."

Yun Shuiyao spoke candidly, "Crushing Huo Tingying and Yun Mu is inevitable. You should be grateful that you chose the right side, because you're much easier to deal with than they are."

The smile in Huo Jinzhou's eyes gradually faded.

Yun Shuiyao continued, "There's something I think you should know. Have you heard of Si Nanjue, the illegitimate son of the Si family? I hear Yun Mu has been getting close to him lately. Look, she'd rather be intimate with an illegitimate son than come near you!"

Huo Jinzhou's eyes narrowed coldly, about to speak, when Yun Shuiyao interrupted, "But don't lose hope. I had a brush with death recently and saw things clearly. If you really want Yun Mu, I can help you."

She stood up and walked over to Huo Jinzhou.

"Don't you always dream of having Yun Mu? I can make her yours."

Huo Jinzhou's face remained cold, "I, Huo Jinzhou, don't need your help to get a woman."

"What good is stubbornness?" Yun Shuiyao sneered, "Do you really think I'm trying to help you? I just can't stand seeing them lovey-dovey under my nose, wielding power in the Huo family. I just want to cause them some trouble!"

Huo Tingying, "What are you planning? I warn you, don't do anything rash!"

"Relax, it's just a minor trick."
