She’s Hard to Get - C259 Ouyang Jue and Ling Tian joined hands
Xu Mengyun gently caressed Ling Tian’s arm. The nerves on his hands that were affected by the large amount of skin grafts would often go numb, so Xu Mengyun learned how to massage him like a nurse. As long as she pressed on his arm, Ling Tian would calm down a bit.
“I will talk to that old man again to make him promise to work with Xu Group. However, Mr. Ling has to help me with one thing.”
Of course, Ouyang Jue knew that what Ling Tian said was true. If he wanted to deal with Ouyang Gu, there were plenty of ways, but he knew that Ling Tian would be very cautious when he made a move in the country, especially now, when he and Xu Mengyun’s every move in marriage was related to the Xu’s.
There was no need for him to do it himself. Just like that Chenopan who provided a place for Qin Lang to live, before Ling Tian was even discharged, the people outside had already destroyed all of his business, and beat him up violently, and even took half his life.
Ouyang Jue had seen the follow-up reports before, and heard that Chenopan’s men and family members had spent a lot of effort to save him, but at that time, he was already beaten into a cripple, which was completely useless. This was not Ling Tian’s plan, he just wanted someone to show his loyalty to Ling Tian.
Right now, it was the same for Ouyang Gu. As long as Ling Tian spread the news that he had offended him, that old fellow would definitely be beheaded in less than three days.
Although Ouyang Jue hated him, he wouldn’t let him go just yet. He knew that the only way to save Ouyang Gu was to let Tian Ao continue to fulfill the contract he had with the Xu’s, but he had already resorted to using both the soft and the hard way. That old man was not willing to give in on this matter, so he could only try to force the old man into a corner.
“Say it, if I can help.” Ling Tian’s emotions calmed down a lot, he also wanted to quickly settle the matters of the Xu Group, so he very generously ignored the former disdain in his heart and allowed Ouyang Jue to speak as soon as possible, “Regardless of whether it is a person asking for resources, I can help you with it, even if it is stealing it would be fine.”
“It’s just a small matter. Mr. Ling, is your person already at my mother’s place?”
Ouyang Jue knew that no matter what he did, he had to prioritize his mother’s safety, so he really wanted to ask Ling Tian for a favor right now. That was, during this period of time when he was negotiating with Ouyang Gu, Ling Tian’s subordinate had to take responsibility for taking care of his mother, so as to prevent his father from moving her to a place he did not know about, because the current Ouyang Gu was like a bomb that could explode at any time.
“Didn’t you say that this is your Ouyang Family’s matter and you don’t need us to intervene in it? I thought you wanted to say business?”
Ling Tian unceremoniously pushed him back, and of course his people were waiting there to take action. They had already set up a route to save, but this could only be a sudden action, and not a sustained one, not to mention what benefits did he have, as long as the position of the TiaoAo Group’s CEO was still in Ouyang Gu’s hands, they would not be able to rest in peace. There was no need to waste his resources and manpower on an ungrateful person like Ouyang Jue.
There was a need to account for the cost of helping others. It was not his style to waste so much time on something he did not want to curry favour with.
“It’s just a temporary help. Just wait until the Xu’s’s matters are settled, then Mr. Ling can withdraw.”
Ouyang Jue knew that Ling Tian was only sulking, so he tried his best to look very sincere. This matter was not difficult for Ling Tian, he only needed to leave his there to continue observing for a few more days, and there were currently many people in the hospital observing Madame Ouyang’s movements, so it was absolutely impossible for them to transport her away from the hospital.
Therefore, he reluctantly nodded his head and agreed to Ouyang Jue’s suggestion. She and Ouyang Gu had discussed things over and over again until a few days of time should be enough, and now, he could give him a few days of time as a buffer in consideration of their relationship.
“That’s right. We’re all on the same side. There’s always a way to resolve this issue.”
When Xu Mengyun saw that Ling Tian and Ouyang Jue had given in, she hurriedly tried to reconcile the two of them in the middle so that they wouldn’t have to fight again later. For someone like her who didn’t have high EQ, doing this kind of thing was extremely tiring. Being able to squeeze out a few words at this kind of time was already her limit.
“Ouyang Ziyun, I’ll give you three days. If you can’t come up with a solution within those three days, then I’ll have to use my own methods.”
Ling Tian held Xu Mengyun’s hand and planned to leave. The crowd here became more and more complicated, all sorts of smells were scurrying up the stairs, even their clothes were smeared with the aroma of roast meat. If they stayed any longer, they wouldn’t be able to continue staying here.
“Wait a moment, I have another matter to ask of you, Mr. Ling.”
This kind of tone was exactly the same as when he had asked Xu Mengyun to do something back then. This kind of self-familiarity made Ling Tian want to immediately break off all relations with him, he now felt that Xu Mengyun should continue to act amnesia in front of Ouyang Jue, so that he wouldn’t become familiar with them here and treat their resources as her own.
However, the matter that Ouyang Jue asked of him made him very happy, because he wanted him to destroy that old man, Ouyang Gu, so that he would not dare to rashly make a move on Xu Group.
“You finally said something that made me feel good.” Ling Tian’s expression finally eased up. With how this old man Ouyang Gu was making things difficult for the Xu Group, even if Ouyang Jue did not get rid of him, he would still punish him ruthlessly.
Therefore, he readily promised Ouyang Jue that he would help this old man and let him experience the power of the Ling Family. Although this was not a foreign country, and his power would be greatly reduced, it was already enough.
“I just want to ask Mr. Ling to scare him, and let him understand that it’s enough for Mr. Ling to have the power to take his life, and it’s not that he’s really going to die.”
Ouyang Jue quickly reiterated the standard of request he had made, in case Ling Tian made too much of a move and directly killed him. However, in his heart, he couldn’t help but blame this old fellow. He had already warned him many times that Ling Tian wasn’t someone they could afford to offend, but he still did as he was told, even taking out the matter of Qin Lang as an example. This showed that Ling Tian wasn’t anything special.
There was nothing to be afraid of. However, this old man had forgotten that Qin Lang had already been imprisoned and waiting for death to come, so if he had offended the Mr. Ling, the outcome should be more or less the same.
He naturally did not dare to directly say the words of the old man to Ling Tian. Otherwise, he would not only have scared Ouyang Gu, but would have sent him straight to hell.
It was very easy for Ling Tian to take care of Ouyang Gu, he only needed to move his pinky finger to make the old man feel as if the old man had weakened, anything he did would happen to him. He got in the car to explode and drank water to fill his teeth, by noon, he was already sitting motionlessly in Tian Ao’s CEO’s office, letting a great deity chant the burning talisman around him.
“Dad, what are you doing? “How could a company make something like that?”
Ouyang Jue was called back by the employees of the company. They said that there was something wrong with the old man, he had locked himself in his office and did not see anyone, leaving behind a Daoist and a close subordinate in the room.
He had originally planned to talk to Ouyang Gu about the Xu Group today, but didn’t expect that something bad would happen to him since morning. She simply hadn’t given Ouyang Jue a chance to talk to him at all.
The moment Ouyang Jue walked into the office, he saw a yellow robed man jumping around the room, holding a peach wood sword, he kept thrusting at Ouyang Gu, and there were some times when Ouyang Gu felt that the person was sent by Ling Tian, so he immediately stood beside Ouyang Gu and grabbed onto the cultivator’s wrist.
He had already said that it would not hurt Ouyang Gu’s life, but obviously Ling Tian did not follow their agreement, it was just that when he looked at the peach wood sword, he felt that it was strange, the tip of the peach wood sword was extremely thick, although it had a certain amount of power, but as a killing weapon, it was indeed lacking a little.
“What are you doing? The master is trying to drive away the ghosts right now, why are you stopping him!”
The Taoist had yet to speak, but Ouyang Gu had already started shouting. He had just left her butt and sat back down, as if she was very afraid, and did not dare to take a step out of the safe zone.
At this time, Ouyang Jue finally noticed Ouyang Gu’s situation. His head was covered with a thick layer of gauze, and her elbows and knees were all injured, these injuries could not be considered serious as caused by falling on the road, but he held a stack of yellow talismans in her hands and continuously chanted, as though she was threatened.
“How did the old man get injured? Did you take him to the hospital?” Ouyang Jue immediately looked at the subordinate beside him. This person had been following Ouyang Gu the entire time and definitely wouldn’t lie. He was the one who called Ouyang Jue back, so he knew that something big must have happened today.
“The old man ran into a car accident on his way to the company and hit his head on the front seat. He took two stitches at the hospital.”
Ouyang Jue felt that this was not a big deal. Everyday, when he drove, he would inevitably encounter some small disasters, but since he met with no internal injuries, it could be considered fortunate. Regardless of whether Ling Tian did this or not, it was not something that could be done by a Daoist.
“Of course I wouldn’t have invited people here if I was in a car accident, but I fell on the ground when I was going upstairs, and I got cut by the bottle when I was having a needle shot in the hospital, but I drank my saliva because I took the wrong cup and drank the laxatives from the patient next to me, so I encountered so many things at once. Do you think it’s still a coincidence?”
Just now, when he was eating the rice, he got stuck on a fish bone, and when he was walking out from the garage, he even bumped into the light bulb in the garage. In this kind of situation, there must be someone causing trouble, people definitely would not do such a small thing.
Ouyang Gu sat there and unceasingly chanted an incantation. Right now, he did not dare to eat, drink or even sleep, for fear of encountering a ghost shave.
“Old Mr. Ouyang, Mr. Ouyang, poverty-stricken people already knows what happened.” The yellow robed cultivator finally came to the conclusion after doing a bunch of scriptures. It was that the ghost infant was wrapped around Ouyang Gu’s neck, causing everything to go awry for him.
