"What's going on?" Yun Yang was curious. "I remember … isn't Yun Zuiyue the Cirrus House's elder sister? How … "
"There's something you don't know." Dong Tianleng was smug, looking like he was about to put on a show. "There's a secret in this! Something's not right! "
He looked at Yun Yang with a sideways glance and said, "Do you want to hear it? Come beg me if you do … "
He loved to provoke people by leaving things unsaid.
"I'm so sleepy." Yun Yang looked tired. "I suddenly want to sleep …"
"…"
Dong Tianleng was dumbfounded.
Big brother, why aren't you playing by the rules?
"You should go …" Yun Yang laid down on the chair lazily and closed his eyes. "Remember that I have something to do tomorrow …"
"I'm not going!" Dong Tianleng wanted to cry. Boss, you're too petty, getting angry over such a small matter. "Let me tell you, boss, it's fun …"
"I'm not listening." Yun Yang looked drowsy. "I'm very sleepy … Go, don't come back anymore. I don't know you …"
"Boss!"
Dong Tianleng knelt down with a miserable expression. "I beg you, listen to this gossip …"
He slapped himself regretfully. "Dong Tianleng, why can't you change this cheap habit of yours …"
Yun Yang lifted his eyelids lazily. "You're not letting me beg you anymore?"
"I swear to God!" Dong Tianleng swore solemnly. "I'll never let boss beg me again! If there's one more time, let me become the God of Cheap! "
"Alright, tell me then." Yun Yang sighed.
"This is very strange, hahaha …" Dong Tianleng actually adjusted his emotions in an instant and was beaming with joy. "Speaking of which, it's all because of me … Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter!"
Yun Yang looked at him speechlessly.
"Hahahaha … I won then. I was so happy that I treated these three bastards to Cirrus House for a drink!" Dong Tianleng was excited. "When we got there, I realized that it's a nice place indeed. The girls are pretty and the place is great! Elegance is most suitable for an elegant young master like me … "
"Just as I ordered some appetizers and wine, watching the dance and dance … someone suddenly started croaking … it sounded like a duck's voice …" Dong Tianleng stretched his neck, "When I heard this voice, I thought of the legendary eunuchs. I wanted to rip off his pants to take a look …"
Yun Yang sighed.
Was there any way to listen to this?
"You said someone was calling out? What's that duck's voice? Are you sure it's a male duck's voice? "Yun Yang noted down the characteristic of a male duck's voice.
"I'm absolutely sure. This fellow's name is Ah, isn't this Young Master Qiu?" Dong Tianleng continued, "So he's looking for Qiu Yunsan …"
Yun Yang looked lackadaisical, but all of his attention was focused at once.
He knew that this conspiracy against Cirrus House and Yun Zuiyue had started from this voice.
"This fellow walked over with his legs crossed, your father could smell a whiff of lust … he should be a palace eunuch." Dong Tianleng wrinkled his nose. "There was a middle-aged man beside him, tall and strong, he knew Qiu Yunsan as well. Qiu Yunsan called that fellow … what, Keeper Mi … f * cking hell, there's someone with the surname Mi …"
"Obviously, they were very familiar with each other. They had a separate table beside us. Then, I heard them start a drinking competition. After a while, the one with the surname Mi started sighing, saying that he had been courting Yun Zuiyue for a few years but to no avail, the pain of lovesickness and whatnot … "
Dong Tianleng said, "I was listening from the side and thought … was it so difficult? Then, Qiu Yunsan looked down on him, saying that if he had his eyes on a girl, it would only take half a month at most … "
"That person then said, 'Don't brag … Forget half a month, I'd rather strip naked in Tiantang City and run from the east to the west of the city if you could get her in half a year …"
Yun Yang sighed when he heard this.
This was a trap tailored to the temperament of these young masters of aristocratic families, especially those who were not the elites of aristocratic families!
It had to be said that although it was crude, it was absolutely effective.
To these young masters, their greatest joy was to gamble and play with women. Using this as a wager was exactly what they wanted.
As expected, Dong Tianleng continued, "We saw Qiu Yunsan's eyes light up then, saying, 'Is this true? He's obviously tempted … Forget him, we were tempted too … F * cking hell, courting a woman and then watching her run around Tiantang City naked … This is f * cking exciting … "
"Then, that person said, 'Young Master Qiu, this isn't a joke. I advise you not to provoke that woman. I'm afraid you won't stand a chance if you act like this."
"Qiu Yunsan said on the spot, 'If I can't get her, I'll do whatever you want me to do!' Then, he forced her to clap her hands as a vow … "
Yun Yang sighed, speechless.
Were these young masters bad people? Obviously, they were not. However, the temperament they had been nurtured since they were young made it too easy for them to fall into someone else's trap and become a weapon in someone else's hands!
They used their temperament to achieve some unspeakable goal!
A family, especially one that had been passed down for a thousand years, would definitely have geniuses and elites; there would also be pillars of the family who worked hard in silence. However, there would also be popinjays like Qiu Yunsan and Dong Tianleng.
It was not that they had not been educated well, it was a necessity for the family's development.
When these fellows caused trouble and offended someone they shouldn't have, as long as the matter was not serious, an apology and a punishment would suffice. If the matter was too serious, they could just be thrown out to be killed without feeling the pinch.
However, sometimes, when it was inconvenient for the elites to come out and cause trouble, they could use these popinjays as an excuse to flex their muscles and gain some other benefits.
This was essential as well.
At the end of the day, we should be reasonable when we should be reasonable, and unreasonable when we should be unreasonable … This is a way of survival. (Not much explanation here; water.)
"Then, they started to bet. Qiu Yunsan wanted to win over Yun Zuiyue within a month. Mi's persuasion eventually made it a three-month wager … The three of us were witnesses and the wager was established. The three of us even bet five hundred mystical stones each …"
Dong Tianleng was gloating.
Yun Yang was speechless as well. "You guys still bet on such a thing …"
"Then, Qiu Yunsan started to act. Yun Zuiyue was stubborn indeed … We agreed not to use force. This fellow was like a dog biting a hedgehog, he had nowhere to bite … "
Dong Tianleng chuckled and said, "A few days later, they met at Cirrus House. Not only did they gain nothing, Yun Zuiyue didn't even want to see him now! She couldn't even send a message … Qiu Yunsan was at his wit's end. Mi said that such a girl deserves to be cherished. "
"Even if he married her, it would be fine. Such a pure and self-respecting girl, it would be fine to find someone to be the matchmaker …" Dong Tianleng said, "This Mi fella started looking for someone to be the matchmaker, but Qiu Yunsan was reminded at this point. Hence, this fellow started looking for connections everywhere, wanting to take Yun Zuiyue as his concubine … He actually found quite a number of people …"
"I've never realized that this Qiu Yunsan has such a strong foundation. He actually found so many important people … especially his aunt. If he didn't tell me, I really wouldn't have known that Qiu Yunsan's uncle is actually Marshal Qiu Jianhan …"
Dong Tianleng's expression was one of astonishment. "The Qiu Family's plotting is indeed profound …"
As Yun Yang listened, he had already deduced everything that would happen next.
There was no need to continue talking about this anymore.
The other party had studied Qiu Yunsan thoroughly and had pinpointed him. Step by step, they had first lured Qiu Yunsan into a trap, making it difficult for this fellow to back down. Then, they had pushed through various connections and exerted influence …
From top to bottom, they had pressured Cirrus House from all directions.
Then, under the heavy pressure, Cirrus House would be like a towel that had been soaked in water. The harder it was pressed, the more water would be squeezed out …
There would come a day when all the water would be squeezed out.
This was their ultimate goal!
Although Qiu Yunsan had failed on the verge of success and all the pressure had disappeared, they had actually achieved half of their actual goal!
At the very least, they had successfully dragged their real target, Yun Yang, into this matter and he could not extricate himself from it!
As long as they continued to play tricks on Cirrus House, Yun Yang would not be able to extricate himself. Since he could not extricate himself, there would come a day when he would be dragged out with the organization's strength and secrecy!
This was an inevitable outcome!
He could not watch fifth brother's sweetheart being bullied no matter what. Although the other party did not know this at all …
However, the connection was extremely clear.
From Dong Tianleng's narration, Yun Yang remembered two more people.
One had a croaky voice and walked with his legs crossed; he could be a eunuch while the other had the surname Mi and was known as Keeper Mi.
These two people must be important members of this plan.
As for the assistant of the crown prince's residence, Shui Yuehan, and the keeper of Plethora Gem Tower, Fu Yuanshan … Yun Yang's current targets were at least four people!
Of course, he could ask Dong Tianleng about the croaky voice and the surname Mi, but it would be too deliberate.
Yun Yang rolled his eyes and was immediately displeased. "Say no more, I understand now. Dong Tianleng, you keep calling me boss and second brother … You invite others to Cirrus House but you don't invite me?"
Dong Tianleng was talking excitedly, spittle flying everywhere when he saw Yun Yang's expression suddenly turn sour.
He was taken aback. "Boss, you want to go too?"
Yun Yang rolled his eyes. "I'm not going! Why would I go if they don't invite me? "
"My treat! Please, please! Of course! "Dong Tianleng patted his chest." Shall we go now? "
"It's too late …" Yun Yang said lazily, "You invited others first and I had to ask before you invited me. I can't afford to lose this face … You should go."
This time, Dong Tianleng knelt down with a plop without hesitation. "It's all this young brother's fault. Boss, I beg you, let me treat you to a meal. If you don't go, I won't get up! "
Yun Yang was exasperated. This fellow had actually summed up his experience in dealing with me?
