Chapter 16: Subduing the Underlings
Black Dog paused for a moment, looking at the large sum of money, and after some consideration, decided to tell them: "Four million seems like a lot, but buying guns through the black market and taking over a shop is a bit of a stretch..."
"If that's not enough, then rent one. Just get me a shop." Xi Yu nodded slightly.
"Contact me after you've finished. Don't try anything funny. I can find you out anytime." She placed a piece of paper with her personal terminal number on it on the table, then stood up and walked out.
After walking a few steps, she suddenly remembered something and turned back to face Fatty Zhang.
Ignoring his terrified gaze, she swiftly grabbed his dislocated arm and gently lifted it. With a 'snap', his arm was miraculously put back in place.
Fatty Zhang didn't even have time to shout!
After Xi Yu left, the three men, including the black dog, stared at each other in an unusual silence, none of them uttering a word.
Fatty Zhang broke the silence first: "Boss... what... what should we do next?"
The black dog snapped irritably, "What else can we do? From today onwards, the boss's position has changed hands."
"Are we really just going to give in to that little girl like this?" Fatty Zhang found it unbelievable.
“That girl… no, the boss isn’t an ordinary person. Haven’t you seen how long we’ve been in the private room, and no one has come in? Not even Xiao Chen has brought in any drinks.” Black Dog’s expression was grave.
The security at Tianshui Bar was excellent; it was impossible to seek revenge or cause trouble there. Yet Xi Yu could freely enter and leave the bar as if it were her own territory. Black Dog thought to himself that her background must be extraordinary!
Black Dog let out a heavy sigh and instructed the other two, "Do a good job. This might be our turning point. Who knows, this might be our chance to get ahead!"
Actually, Black Dog was overthinking it. Xi Yu was able to freely enter and leave Tianshui Bar mainly because she used her mental power to bewitch those who saw her. Xiao Chen was also given a hint by her and thought that the wine had already been delivered, which is why he was so negligent.
Having resolved Meng Yingjie's matter, Xi Yu returned home in a cheerful mood.
She needed manpower to do things for her, especially things that were inconvenient for her to do herself. As for choosing the three Black Dogs, it was a matter of convenience. After all, she had already spent a million of her money, so how could she waste it?
Moreover, she could see that although the three black dogs were ignorant and only bullied the weak, they were loyal and valued their companions very much. This alone was enough for Xi Yu to appreciate them.
However, she didn't think Meng Yingjie's matter ended there. How did Meng Yingjie, a student from another school, know to target the original owner of this body? This matter itself had the smell of conspiracy.
Meng Yingjie had never interacted with the original owner of this body. He couldn't possibly know that the original owner, whose parents divorced when she was young, actually had a powerful biological father. He even knew to encourage her to ask her biological father for money.
There weren't many people who knew about the original owner's background and were hostile towards her. The only people who might do such a thing, besides her half-sister An Ying, were Ling Fenfen.
Leaving An Ying aside for now, she lives far away in the imperial capital, which is very far from this border town, so she can basically be ruled out.
So it's Ling Fenfen...?
Xi Yu suddenly smiled.
Ling Fenfen hasn't come to school since she injured her hand a few days ago. I heard she's currently receiving treatment at the best hospital in the city.
Her injuries were actually just ordinary external wounds, and she would have fully recovered in a day or two. The reason she had stayed in the hospital was mainly because she was still furious. She had actually felt fear towards a girl who usually bullied her at will, something that her pride absolutely could not tolerate!
