Chapter 0539: Acting Together with the School Beauty

The private room was shrouded in smoke.

Wang Yunxiong and Luo Yang both fell silent for a while.

Then, it was Luo Yang who broke the silence first.

"Let's get down to it. How much money do you want?" Luo Yang asked straightforwardly.

Wang Yunxiong didn't directly state a sum.

He had loaned Shuang Qiao two million.

Compounded, it would be at least several million by now.

Luo Yang was not going to pay that much.

No money to offer, but a life was available.

Two million two hundred thousand or less was the psychological bottom line Luo Yang could accept.

Past that number, there was no point in further discussion.

Luo Yang would simply drop a "You may never get your money in this lifetime" and then leave.

"I have a condition. If you agree, from here on out, we owe each other nothing," Wang Yunxiong said, half-closing his eyes.

Just by hearing that, one could tell he was ready to make a lion's demand.

But there's no harm in hearing him out.

"What's the condition?" Luo Yang exhaled a puff of smoke.

"My condition is that you give me the formula for Beauty Stream, I produce mine, you produce yours, we each sell our own. The money they owe me, I won't ask for it. The grudges between you and me, I won't hold onto them either. All debts will be wiped clean," Wang Yunxiong articulated clearly, fearing Luo Yang might miss even a single word.

Upon hearing this, Luo Yang burst out laughing.

Wang Yunxiong's face had already darkened by half.

But he was still waiting for Luo Yang's answer.

After finishing his laughter, Luo Yang said, "Old Wang, you're quite ambitious."

Wang Yunxiong replied coldly, "Do you agree or not?"

At that moment, Wang Yunxiong's cell phone rang.

He glanced at the caller ID, then said, "Think it over for a while, I need to take this call."

With that, he answered the call and got up to walk out of the private room.

Luo Yang and Hong Jiaxin looked at each other, wondering if this could be a sign that Wang Yunxiong was getting ready to make a move.

At that time, Wang Yunxiong had answered the phone, but hadn't yet walked out of the room.

Though the speakerphone was not on, Luo Yang's hearing was far superior to ordinary people's.

He heard a familiar voice come through on the other end of the phone: "Third Master, I've got good news..."

Just then, Wang Yunxiong stepped out of the room and closed the door behind him.

However, judging by the sound of footsteps, Wang Yunxiong was standing in the hallway just outside the private room's door, not far off.

Luo Yang was one hundred percent sure that the caller was Big Brother B.

The private room's door was quite good at soundproofing.

Wang Yunxiong also hadn't turned on speakerphone, and considering he was standing outside the room on the phone,

Hong Jiaxin couldn't hear the voice on the other end.

However, Luo Yang could.

His hearing was like a stream that could flow through the crack of the door and gather up every sound in the vicinity outside the door.

That was the marvel of True Qi.

Of course, if Wang Yunxiong walked further away, Luo Yang wouldn't be able to hear the words of the caller.

Unless Luo Yang's True Qi was elevated accordingly.

At this moment, Luo Yang heard Wang Yunxiong chuckle twice.

Then he heard Big Brother B say, "Heh, so tender. A student girl. Should be able to get her tonight, have a blast together, Third Master."

Wang Yunxiong responded, "Okay, waiting for your good news tonight."

From their conversation, Luo Yang guessed that Big Brother B was talking about Shi Yun.

Before heading to the county town, Luo Yang had intimidated Big Brother B.

In fact, Luo Yang had planned to find Big Brother B that afternoon but was delayed by other matters and hadn't gone yet.

Now that he knew Big Brother B was still harboring evil intentions and wanted revenge on Shi Yun, Luo Yang had made his decision to cripple Big Brother B.

Seeing Luo Yang listening intently, Hong Jiaxin felt he could hear the conversation outside.

Just as she was about to ask him, she saw him make a "Please don't ask yet" gesture and had to hold back for the time being.

Soon after, the door of the private room opened, and Wang Yunxiong walked in again.

After sitting down, Wang Yunxiong asked, "How's your consideration?"

Luo Yang responded with a light smile, "Shuang Qiao owes you money, let him pay you back. Hurry up, how much do you want?"

Two million two hundred thousand was Luo Yang's bottom line.

The amount Wang Yunxiong mentioned had far exceeded this psychological threshold.

"If we calculate it carefully, it would exceed ten million," said Wang Yunxiong coldly.

Upon hearing this, Luo Yang laughed again.

Then he picked up another bottle of red wine from the table and drank it all in one go.

"Old Wang, let me be frank. I don't have the money, but I have a life. If you have the guts, come and take it. Squad leader, let's go," Luo Yang said with a hearty laugh.

Luo Yang was probably the first person who dared to be so presumptuous in front of Wang Yunxiong.

His insolence had darkened Wang Yunxiong's face with irritation.

"I have given you enough face. It's your choice whether you want to live or die," Wang Yunxiong said sternly.

In a one-on-one fight, Luo Yang could crush Wang Yunxiong with one hand.

But considering the power Wang Yunxiong wielded in the county, Luo Yang was indeed no match.

Going to talk to Wang Yunxiong, Luo Yang did not harbor much hope.

Therefore, not coming to an agreement did not disappoint him much.

"Old Wang, normally speaking, you should be dying before me," Luo Yang said with a smile.

Wang Yunxiong was aware of Luo Yang's fighting prowess and did not dare to roughen him up on the spot.

"You think you're really something, don't you? Just wait and see!" Wang Yunxiong said, his hands trembling slightly with anger.

After leaving the private room, Hong Jiaxin finally asked Luo Yang what he had overheard on the phone.

Luo Yang then told her.

"So now we're going to find Shi Yun?" asked Hong Jiaxin.

Shi Yun was at the second middle school. Calling her out and taking her away could indeed avert a crisis.

But as long as Big Brother B was still around, Shi Yun's danger could not be eliminated.

In other words, to ensure Shi Yun's true safety, Big Brother B had to be disabled.

"No," Luo Yang replied.

Asking Xia Zi would be the quickest way to find Big Brother B.

As for what to do with Big Brother B, Luo Yang hadn't decided yet.

Merely beating him wouldn't solve the problem.

Killing him—that needed more careful consideration.

Without a fully safe and secure plan, leaving any loose ends would always be disastrous.

Luo Yang first made a phone call to Shi Yun.

After the call connected, he chatted with her for a moment but did not mention the potential danger.

He had initially thought there might be some school event in the evening, but there wasn't.

While on the phone, Shi Yun sounded as though she was a thief, afraid of being overheard, keeping her voice as low as possible.

If not for knowing Shi Yun, one might have thought her cell phone was broken.

Luo Yang had to stick the phone to his ear and muster all his concentration just to hear Shi Yun's voice clearly.

He even worried that her voice might suddenly cut off as if she had run out of breath.

However, one thing he could be certain of was that Shi Yun's voice, as gentle as beauty stream, was filled with excitement.

This was Luo Yang's first official phone call to her, and she cherished it greatly.

Listening to her murmuring voice and picturing her innocent and beautiful face in his mind, Luo Yang felt an even greater fondness for her.

The mere thought of her possibly falling into the clutches of Big Brother B ignited a fury in Luo Yang.

The Shi sisters, Shi Nan and Shi Yun, had just about managed to get their lives back on track, which wasn't easy.

And Big Brother B had become the biggest obstacle on the sisters' path to a happy life.

After ending the call, Luo Yang decided to quietly solve the problem without informing Shi Yun, so as not to frighten her.

Shi Yun was already thin enough; any scare might cause her to fall ill.

"Squad leader, we've got some serious work to do. Are you ready?" Luo Yang said with a smile.

Knowing that Big Brother B was after Shi Yun, Hong Jiaxin was also filled with righteous indignation.

"Let's go. Who am I afraid of?" said Hong Jiaxin, slightly tilting her nostrils.
