Chapter 957

"Did you hear? The Holy Son agreed with Yin Mei’s decision to use Hua Tianyao to hold his disciple hostage," Old Ma said with a grin.

"Delusional," Silver Fox said. He dried his hands and sat on the sofa nearby. Someone brought a cup of coffee, and Old Ma handed it to him personally.

Silver Fox took a sip. "Do you know who Hua Tianyao is? Do you know who her disciple is? Does Yin Mei really understand nothing? If Hua Tianyao were so easily controlled, she wouldn’t be Hua Tianyao. If her disciple were so easily restrained, she wouldn’t be Hua Tianyao’s disciple. In the end, Yin Mei will likely lose more than she gains." He took another sip. "Old Ma, give the order. All our people go into hiding. No matter what Yin Mei’s group does, pretend we don’t know. Do not participate, do not push. If necessary, sacrifice some people. The bottom line is: we must preserve our elite forces."

"Boss, you think Yin Mei’s actions will bring great disaster?" Old Ma frowned slightly.

Silver Fox smiled faintly. "Zhu Yanyi’s poison techniques are very clever. If she could plant Blue Enchantress on me, why wouldn’t she plant it on Yin Mei?"

"Perhaps because she couldn’t find your trail. She probably guessed you had already neutralized the Blue Enchantress," Old Ma quickly followed Silver Fox’s line of thinking.

"You are quite right. Since that’s the case, she wouldn’t use Blue Enchantress again. She would use a different poison," Silver Fox said calmly. "Like the Wood Spirit Rhyme currently on Yin Mei. But this poison only restrains Yin Mei; it doesn’t achieve the real goal. So I suspect this Wood Spirit Rhyme might combine with a certain medicine to produce another poison that allows tracking."

"Is it really that mysterious?" Old Ma looked at Silver Fox uncertainly. "Does Zhu Yanyi really have that much ability?"

"What did Zero say?" Silver Fox asked.

"Zhu Yanyi just returned to school. Zero couldn’t appear suddenly, so she is looking for an opportunity. She should be executing the mission soon," Old Ma said seriously.

Silver Fox nodded slightly. "Hua Tianyao is in Yin Mei’s hands. Zhu Yanyi will likely attend the International Medical Exchange Conference after the New Year. Have someone prepare for me. I want to go to the scene to see the situation."

"Boss, Zhu Yanyi has seen your face," Old Ma reminded her uncertainly.

"So what if she saw my face? I didn’t harm her then. If she suspects me, and becomes curious about me, won’t our plan go more smoothly?" Silver Fox chuckled, though the smile didn’t reach his eyes. "Old Ma, wealth comes from risk. This principle applies now too."

Old Ma didn’t fully understand, but he knew one thing: once his boss decided, he would do it, and he would consider the consequences. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Boss, should we keep an eye on the Holy Son?"

"No need to worry about him. He won’t last long," Silver Fox smiled mysteriously. "Do you really think this Holy Son is useful? He is just a puppet of the Godfather. He is not worth treating as an opponent. He is not even worthy of being my toy."

Zhu Yanyi returned to the dormitory and distributed fruit to everyone. Zheng Feier bit into a strawberry and said, "Zhu Yanyi, it’s winter. How can your family have strawberries?"

"Yes, you can also eat tomatoes," Zhu Yanyi said seriously. "Didn’t I tell you I’m from Zhejiang Province? My family is in the countryside. My dad contracted some farmland and built greenhouses. There are plenty of seasonal fruits and vegetables inside. Look at this golden melon. Normally, you can only eat it in summer, but now we can eat it."
