Forced to Marry a Female Billionaire CEO-Chapter 656 Their Plan

Ye Yunfeng said, "I never expected this, truly. What a pleasant surprise."

"Indeed!" Shi Hongda said with a grin. "We were originally afraid we couldn't guarantee a victory, worried that we couldn't defeat Wang Wu, Tang Yingchang, and that old man in black. So, we were thinking of asking for Brother Ye's help."

"I never thought our plans would align so perfectly. It's a true meeting of the minds! Hahaha."

Shi Hongda stared at Ye Taiqing, his smile brimming with joy.

The plan is about to succeed! I'm going to be free! As for whether Ye Taiqing gets screwed over, what does it matter to me? In the end, it's the Ye Family that will fall!

While Shi Hongda and the others smiled gleefully, Ye Taiqing alone snorted. "Who said anything about a meeting of minds with you?"

He had been forced into this by Ye Yunfeng, so naturally, he wasn't happy about it.

Shi Hongda's face instantly stiffened. "What kind of attitude is that?" he asked resentfully.

"I think you're all a bunch of scrubs, so I find cooperating with you disgusting. Understand?" Ye Taiqing was quite blunt, firing his shot directly at Shi Hongda.

The Yin and Yang Elders, who had been secretly reveling in their plan's imminent success, became enraged. Their faces flushed as they shouted in unison, "What the hell did you just say?"

"I'm talking about you two. Did you not realize?" Seeing these weaklings dare to challenge him, Ye Taiqing's sneer only deepened.

The last time, the six Innates at Great Perfection had come up empty-handed, only managing to kill Lin Zhongtian to vent their frustration, and Ye Taiqing was still fuming about it. In his view, if it weren't for these incompetent teammates holding him back, he would have single-handedly dismantled Xu Ke's entire base by now. How could things have devolved into such an embarrassing spectacle?

After that failure, Ye Taiqing had even been taunted by Ye Yunfeng upon returning to the Ye Family, and the memory still left a sour taste in his mouth. Now, being forced to cooperate with them again, his cold sarcasm was only natural.

"You motherfucker..."

The Yin and Yang Elders flew into a rage and immediately unleashed a string of profanities. They rose to their feet, ready to verbally assault Ye Taiqing with their sonic arts.

Shi Hongda's face turned ashen, and the last shred of guilt he felt for betraying Ye Taiqing vanished.

Damn it. Has this guy never been humbled by the real world? A foul-mouthed piece of work like him should be served up to Xu Ke. Let Xu Ke teach him a lesson.

Seeing that Ye Taiqing's single remark had made the three men erupt in fury, the others hurriedly tried to smooth things over. "Gentlemen, gentlemen, please calm down."

"There's no need for anger. It was just a joke."

"Yes, yes!" The ones speaking up were Huang Zhendong and Qin Feng.

Ye Yunfeng gestured to Huang Sheng, who was brewing tea, to serve the four old men. Huang Sheng, who had been quietly working, quickly stood up and placed four teacups before them.

Taking the olive branch, the Yin and Yang Elders and Shi Hongda sat back down, their expressions still sour. Ye Taiqing just snorted and said no more.

At that moment, Qin Feng stepped in to change the subject. "By the way, Elder Shi, I have a question for you."

"Go ahead."

"I'd like to know where Han Wang stands on this... You mentioned coming to seek Elder Ye's assistance, which implies you already have a plan. May I ask what you have in mind?" Qin Feng asked with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, all attention shifted to Shi Hongda, their faces alight with interest. It was clear that due to the suddenness of events and lack of time, Ye Yunfeng's group hadn't yet formulated a plan of their own. But from what Shi Hongda had said, it sounded like his side was already prepared. If Shi Hongda's plan was solid, they could simply adopt it!

"So that's what this is about. An excellent question! We do indeed have a plan. After all, when dealing with a tough nut to crack like Xu Ke, we would, of course, formulate a calm and meticulous plan. We wouldn't just lash out and curse people, falling into a powerless rage." Upon hearing the question, Shi Hongda smiled and began speaking with pointed sarcasm.

The moment he finished, Ye Taiqing's eyes narrowed and his voice turned utterly sinister. "Who are you calling powerless and enraged?"

"Who do you think?" Shi Hongda retorted with a humorless smile.

"You..." Ye Taiqing seethed.

"Elder Ye, calm down. Elder Shi, please continue," Qin Feng pleaded with a bitter smile, forced to mediate. At the same time, he glanced at Ye Yunfeng, who was watching coolly from the sidelines. Damn it, can't you control your own troublesome old man? I must have the worst luck in the world to be here today!

"Here's the situation," Shi Hongda said eloquently. "We've already spoken with Fang Caizhe in Sui City several times. We're well aware that his jealousy of Xu Ke has grown into a murderous hatred. Since the Northern Dragon Guard currently has a good relationship with Xu Ke, we can clearly use Fang Caizhe as a mole to make something happen."

He paused, then added, "Everyone here, as long as they aren't prone to temper tantrums, is an intelligent person. I'm sure you all understand, right?"

"Understood, understood!"

The group broke into knowing, excited smiles. Only Ye Taiqing's fists were clenched tight.

Watching Ye Taiqing fuming but unable to lash out, Shi Hongda felt a surge of secret satisfaction. Having laid out their plan, he suddenly recalled Ye Yunfeng's earlier words and asked with curiosity, "By the way, Family Head Ye, what did you mean earlier by a 'guaranteed victory'?"

They had a plan, but Ye Yunfeng's side had a "guaranteed victory." What could that be?

"It's nothing," Ye Yunfeng said with a smile. "Originally, we didn't know Han Wang and Ye Lang were coming, and we had no intention of spending more money to hire them. So, we reached out to Wong Ting and the Martial Saint for help. They both agreed to send reinforcements. When they arrive, our side will have the strength of nearly seven Innates at Great Perfection. I believe killing a single Xu Ke will be an effortless capture!"

At these words, Shi Hongda's smile froze on his face. "Wha-what?!"

"They're both sending people?!"

"That's right. Surprised?" Huang Zhendong roared with laughter. "Wong Ting said on the phone that they would send their number one champion. As for the Martial Saint, even if he didn't say so explicitly, he'll certainly dispatch an exceptionally powerful, first-rate expert. Elder Shi, you can rest assured. This time, our success is truly guaranteed!"

"Yes... yes, indeed!" Shi Hongda laughed dryly, a cold sweat breaking out on his back.

Why would Wong Ting and Yan Xuehai suddenly send people over? he screamed internally. He wasn't worried that Xu Ke would die; with Xu Ke's current protectors, his enemies would be hard-pressed to kill him. His primary concern was that if men from Wong Ting and Yan Xuehai were taken out in Tianhai, the retaliation from the Southern Territory Army and the Long Capital Martial Alliance would be absolutely devastating.

If that happened, the entire nature of the situation would change dramatically. With this thought, Shi Hongda decided he had to inform Xu Ke immediately to see if they could cancel or alter the plan.

Meanwhile, Huang Zhendong was still talking. "Last time, Xu Ke got lucky. He used that mole, Li Lang, to escape the highway ambush. He was also lucky that the Ghost Poison Elders lured Han Wang and the others away."

"Now, we also have a mole and such a formidable lineup. There is simply no way Xu Ke can survive this," Qin Feng added in agreement. "Moreover, our operation this time will be swift and secret. As long as there are no moles on our side, it's impossible for him to find out."

The moment he finished speaking, Shi Hongda and the Yin and Yang Elders leaned back almost imperceptibly, their postures suddenly unnatural.

"However, I believe we still need to be cautious," Ye Yunfeng stated calmly. "My investigation shows that Wang Wu has been staying at the medical center recently. If there's a day he isn't there, we won't make our move. We'll only strike if he is present at the medical center."

He continued, "Based on Xu Ke's usual protection, he only has Tang Yingchang, and at most, that mysterious old man in black. If Wang Wu happens to be there on that day as well, those three fighting to the death might actually give Xu Ke a chance to escape. Therefore, we should reduce their combat strength by one whenever possible!"

The others nodded. "A good idea!"

They all thought Ye Yunfeng's suggestion was excellent, but it made Shi Hongda suddenly feel restless.

Why is this Ye Yunfeng so damn cautious?

Still, he knew he had to pass this information to Xu Ke and convince him to abandon the idea of having Wang Wu act as his protector. Otherwise, if Xu Ke kept Wang Wu with him every day, Ye Yunfeng might just call off the assassination. Then the plan couldn't proceed, and he and the Yin and Yang Elders would never get their antidotes.
