Chapter 227 Ye Fox's Method of Using One Tiger to Devour Another

Unable to contact Mu Shiyi, Li Yuanren grew increasingly anxious.

An Litong's clandestine actions made him uneasy, constantly worried that An Litong would bring people to his door to question him.

Li Yuanren even discovered that some of the spies that An Litong had planted in his territory had begun to move around. In order not to affect his secret business, Li Yuanren had to personally oversee the competition to ensure that his business would not be affected.

In addition to the spies starting to operate at the stadium, Li Yuanren's business was also attacked by unknown forces.

The other party had its eyes on his business channels and repeatedly tried to intercept rare metals, which greatly angered Li Yuanren.

However, the other party's methods were extremely sophisticated, and coupled with An Litong's actions during this period, Li Yuanren could only secretly send out a small number of people to investigate the matter, and dared not take any major action.

"Master, we lost another batch of goods and more than a dozen men today." Wang Yuzheng knelt on the ground with a look of trepidation, his head bowed tightly, not daring to look at Li Yuanren's current facial expression.

He knew that Li Yuanren, who valued money above all else, was furious at this moment.

"Oh, here we go again. I know." Li Yuanren's voice was calm, but his facial expression was extremely ferocious.

He was deliberately suppressing his anger. In this special period, in order to protect himself, Li Yuanren had no choice but to make the decision to temporarily suspend his business activities.

"Let's stop for now. Once this storm has passed, we'll take action to drag out those rats hiding in the shadows. I want to do it myself!" Li Yuanren said through gritted teeth.

To take his money is tantamount to killing his beloved right in front of him.

"It is my incompetence! Please punish me, Master!" Wang Yu pressed his head to the ground, beads of sweat the size of beans sticking out of his forehead.

Li Yuanren let out a long sigh of relief and clapped his hands to signal Wang Yu to get up.

Wang Yu quickly scrambled to his feet, bowing his head as he said, "There's one more thing, Master. Mu Shiyi has made contact!"

Upon hearing this, a chilling glint flashed in Li Yuanren's eyes as he asked, "So, what did Mr. Mu say?"

After losing contact for a period of time, Li Yuanren began to suspect that Mu Shiyi had unilaterally broken the cooperation agreement and taken action against his business.

Given his mysterious origins and exceptional skill with the soul tool, Li Yuanren already harbored suspicions about Mu Shiyi.

Wang Yu quickly replied, "Mr. Mu said he's recently uncovered Wu Ye's weaknesses and has started taking action, so we can rest assured!"

Hearing that it was good news, Li Yuanren finally calmed down the restless soul power within him.

The most urgent task is to quickly push Wu Ye, this traitor who has long harbored rebellious intentions, out to attract An Litong's attention.

As soon as Wu Ye's actions are exposed, An Litong's attacks will be focused on Wu Ye.

After all, betrayal is the most serious offense. Only by diverting An Litong's attention can he gain a chance to breathe and transfer the wealth he has secretly accumulated.

Li Yuanren wasn't the only one trying to divert An Litong's attention and secretly shift his forces.

Yu Feng Lou, a famous restaurant in the Ming Dynasty.

Ye Nanxiao, disguised as "Xiao Nanye," found the agreed meeting place with An Litong based on the information given by Xiao Hongchen.

Following An Litong's subordinates into the room, An Litong waved his hand, signaling them to leave.

"President An, how have you been?" Ye Nanxiao flicked his left hand, and a token appeared in his palm.

An Litong glanced at the token, then his gaze immediately settled on it.

My gaze swept directly over the Mingde Hall logo on the token, landing on a special character at the top.

An Litong, who had visited Mingdetang several times, immediately recognized it as Xiao Hongchen's identity token.

His face immediately broke into a smile, and he politely said to Ye Nanxiao, "My lord, I didn't know your identity before. If I have offended you, please forgive me!"

As An Litong spoke, she took out a delicate little box from her bosom, opened it, placed it on the wooden table, and slowly pushed it toward Ye Nanxiao.

A sapphire-encrusted ring is placed on the cotton pad inside.

Ye Nanxiao glanced at the ring. "A star sapphire? An Litong really spared no expense; it's as big as a thumbnail."

Having received no result regarding the starlight sapphire ring, Ye Nanxiao said with a smile, "President An is indeed very sincere!"

An Litong smiled and said, "Cooperating with Mingdetang is an honor for me!"

An Litong said this without the slightest hint of reluctance. He genuinely admired Mingdetang; otherwise, he wouldn't have been constantly seeking opportunities to cooperate with them.

Ye Nanxiao reached out and pushed the box on the table back, shaking his head slightly.

Seeing this, An Litong frowned slightly and asked in a low voice, "Does Your Excellency think it's too little? Is there more in the ring?"

"That's not what I meant, Chairman An." Ye Nanxiao reached out and interrupted An Litong.

"I'm just saying, we don't need that many things." Ye Nanxiao took out the ring set with a star sapphire, closed the small box, and pushed the small box to An Litong.

"You don't need to send that many, one is enough."

An Litong's lips twitched slightly as he looked at the exquisite little box that had been pushed back.

It's true that this little box isn't cheap, but compared to the star sapphire ring, it's just a tiny fraction of the value!

Are delivery people all so subtle these days?

"You're quite humorous, sir, haha." An Litong chuckled dryly, moved the small box to his side, and waited for Ye Nanxiao to speak.

Now that I've accepted the gift, based on past progress, my situation is probably settled.

However, Ye Nanxiao sat there calmly, drinking tea, without saying a word.

An Litong's smile froze instantly. This was the first time he had ever seen a brat who accepted gifts but didn't do anything. Although he had indeed begged Mingdetang for cooperation, he was, after all, one of the three giants of the underworld, in charge of one-third of the underworld of Mingdu!

If it were any other brat from another faction, An Litong would have slapped him to dust long ago.

Suppressing his anger, An Litong asked, "My lord, what do you think of the matter I discussed with Young Master Hongchen before?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Nanxiao looked like he had just realized something and said, "Oh, that's what you meant. You should have said so earlier. I thought I could just have a cup of tea and go home after this."

Upon hearing this, several veins bulged on An Litong's forehead, and his slightly trembling hands indicated the anger that was about to erupt in his heart.

Seeing An Litong's extremely unpleasant expression, as if he had swallowed a fly, Ye Nanxiao couldn't help but laugh a few times.

"Haha, cough cough, Chairman An, this matter of yours may require some effort," Ye Nanxiao said slowly, putting down his teacup.

An Litong glared angrily, and a powerful aura erupted from him, pressing down on Ye Nanxiao.

Ye Nanxiao seemed to feel no pressure at all, and casually picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea, the whole process proceeding smoothly.

An Litong was surprised that Ye Nanxiao could leisurely sip his tea, and immediately unleashed his full aura as a Title Douluo.

"My lord, isn't it inappropriate for you to do things this way?" An Litong said coldly.

Ye Nanxiao's lips curled up slightly. An Litong had been provoked by him, and it was time to prepare for the next step.

She slightly rolled up her sleeves, revealing the storage bracelet on her left hand.

An Litong took out a soul tool from his storage bracelet, which immediately caught his eye.

"This, this is, a full-coverage soul tool?" An Litong instantly dissipated his aura and tried to reach out and take the soul tool from Ye Nanxiao's hand.

Ye Nanxiao brandished the full-coverage soul-guided arm guard in his hand and laughed, "If we're talking about sincerity, what I have here is the greatest sincerity!"

Placing the soul-guided arm guard on the table, Ye Nanxiao slowly said, "President An is also a highly skilled soul master, so he should know what the highest level of research on soul tools is right now."

An Litong's lips moved a few times, but in the end, he didn't say those five words.

He also caught some leaks from the palace, and after secretly studying them for a while, he came to a startling conclusion.

Swallowing hard, An Litong looked at the soul-guided arm guard on the table and seemed to understand what Ye Nanxiao wanted to express.

Seeing An Litong's stunned expression, Ye Nanxiao gently tapped the table with his hand.

The repeated tapping sounds seemed to strike An Litong's heart.

"Can you feel our sincerity, Chairman An?" Ye Nanxiao said with a light laugh.

An Litong snapped out of his daze, coughed, and said, "More than enough! I feel your utmost sincerity! Does this mean that my Aodu Chamber of Commerce can cooperate with Mingde Hall, sir?"

Ye Nanxiao waved his hand to put away the soul-guided arm guard on the table, and shook a finger, saying, "No, no, no."

This time, An Litong felt no anger. He understood that if Ye Nanxiao truly did not want to cooperate, he would not have shown him that soul tool.

An Litong gritted his teeth, pulled out a metal ball about half the size of a fist from his pocket, and placed it on the table. "Please explain in detail, sir!"

Ye Nanxiao raised an eyebrow slightly. He hadn't expected An Litong to take out a piece of refined gold the size of half a fist. This thing was a strategic-grade rare metal. Just this piece of refined gold, the size of half a fist, was enough to be equivalent to an eighth-level fixed-position soul guide cannon.

"I wonder if Chairman An is aware that the Aodu Chamber of Commerce is no longer your sole authority?" Ye Nanxiao said slowly, a faint blue light flashing in his eyes.

An Litong's pupils contracted; he had clearly blocked the Aodu Chamber of Commerce's communication channels and was doing so in secret.

"No, I think you may have misunderstood, sir. I was the one who established the Aodu Chamber of Commerce!" An Litong said, trying to appear calm.

He didn't know how much information Ye Nanxiao had, and when he met Ye Nanxiao's gaze, An Litong felt as if he were being seen through.

"There's no misunderstanding, but President An, you can rest assured. I mentioned this because I wanted to help President An out." Ye Nanxiao tapped the table more frequently.

The sound of banging on the table made An Litong feel irritated, but due to her suspicions about Ye Nanxiao, she could only suppress her anger.

"Please explain, sir!"

Seeing that An Litong was already panicking, Ye Nanxiao knew that the time had come.

"I'll help you remove the biggest obstacle within the Aodu Chamber of Commerce to ensure our transaction goes smoothly. Now, does Chairman An understand?" Ye Nanxiao said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, An Litong remained silent for a moment, struggling with his thoughts.

An Litong quickly nodded in agreement.

Securing a partnership with Mingdetang has been something he has been working hard for all along, and he will not allow this great opportunity to slip through his fingers.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, sir. The biggest obstacle in the Chamber of Commerce right now is Li Yuanren, who has cut off the Chamber's source of income!" An Litong said coldly.

Upon hearing this, Ye Nanxiao smiled inwardly. He had achieved his goal: to use one tiger to devour another.
