770: Chapter 759: Framing Ning Fan 770: Chapter 759: Framing Ning Fan Inside the main hall of the Shangguan Family, Shangguan Yunyang was watching Shangguan Tanglong with a cold smirk on his face.
At that moment, he had a strategy in mind capable of pitting the Yunteng Family against Ning Fan, forcing them into a conflict.
“As long as we keep ourselves hidden, once Teng Huayang dies, the Yunteng Family will definitely retaliate against Ning Fan with all their might, and then we can reap the benefits!”
Shangguan Yunyang’s plan was extremely sinister, even calculating against the Yunteng Family.
Upon hearing his words, Shangguan Tanglong immediately pulled Shangguan Yunyang into the back hall, carefully checked the surroundings to ensure no one was eavesdropping, and then scolded Shangguan Yunyang with a darkened face, “You little brat, have you lost your mind?
If there’s even a slight mistake in this plan, our Shangguan Family will be doomed.
Don’t you understand?!”
To Shangguan Tanglong, an old hand in Jianghu, Shangguan Yunyang’s plan was simply not trustworthy.
Although it sounded good, the risk was far too great.
If they sent someone to kill Teng Huayang and succeeded, it might be fine, but if they failed and Ning Fan turned around to deal with their Shangguan Family, and also accused them before Teng Zhuhai, the Yunteng Family would definitely immediately abandon the Shangguan Family as a pawn, and even start by dealing with the Shangguan Family before handling Ning Fan.
After all, the Shangguan Family was nothing more than a guard dog raised by the Yunteng Family.
If this dog were to bite its master, then it would lose its reason to exist, and the Yunteng Family would surely erase the Shangguan Family from the world without mercy.
“This matter is too risky; stop talking about it.
Go back to your room and reflect on this, and you’re not allowed to go anywhere else!”
Shangguan Tanglong felt that Shangguan Yunyang was absolutely mad.
Such thoughts must not be harbored.
Their Shangguan Family could not afford, nor dare to gamble at this time, which was optimal for their recovery.
It was best not to stir up any trouble, they could not afford to muddle these waters any further.
“Uncle!”
“No more talking, get back to your room immediately, don’t mention what was just said ever again, I don’t know anything, and you haven’t said anything, understand?”
Shangguan Tanglong sternly glared at Shangguan Yunyang.
Such matters should merely be thoughts and never acted upon, because if anything were to go wrong, it would only lead the Shangguan Family down a path of destruction.
With Shangguan Tanglong’s warning, Shangguan Yunyang reluctantly withdrew, his head bowed, his eyes filled with dense blood vessels, his expression somewhat fierce, like a malevolent ghost.
Once he returned to his room, Shangguan Yunyang flipped everything inside upside down, in a fit of rage.
“No, I cannot let Ning Fan just walk away so easily, and that kid Teng Huayang he definitely must die!”
At that moment, two figures loomed in Shangguan Yunyang’s mind: one was Ning Fan, who had taken Qiuran away, while the other was Teng Huayang, who had been extremely arrogant upon his arrival at the Shangguan Family; both were people Shangguan Yunyang felt he must eliminate.
Regarding these two, Shangguan Yunyang harbored extraordinary hatred.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have suggested such a risky plan earlier.
“Since you disagree, then I’ll just go myself!”
Shangguan Yunyang turned and quietly left the room.
After learning that Shangguan Tanglong had gone to see Teng Zhuhai, he felt elated and immediately left the house and gathered all his trusted followers around him.
At a teahouse on the ancient street of Jiangcheng, Shangguan Yunyang stood before a dozen young men, all dressed in tight-fitting clothes and holding masks, similar to his own attire.
Seeing that they were all ready, Shangguan Yunyang said in a cold voice, “Ning Fan has not yet left Jiangcheng.
This is our perfect opportunity!”
“But, young master, can we really take down Ning Fan?”
A trusted follower asked uncertainly.
Ning Fan’s power was formidable, and even Shangguan Tanglong had previously failed to deal with him.
Could they really keep Ning Fan in Jiangcheng?
Shangguan Yunyang instinctively frowned.
He wanted to scold them harshly, but he ultimately restrained himself and patiently explained, “Who said we are going to deal with Ning Fan?
Remember, there is only one person you need to kill, and that is Teng Huayang!”
“What?
Young master, are we going to act against someone from the Yunteng Family?”
Everyone looked at Shangguan Yunyang in disbelief, somewhat unable to believe their own ears.
They weren’t supposed to act against Ning Fan, but against Teng Huayang—could it really be that Shangguan Yunyang hadn’t misspoken?
After all, Teng Huayang was a son of the Yunteng Family, and their Shangguan Family was a vassal to the Yunteng Family.
Wasn’t there absolutely no reason to act against Teng Huayang?
Shangguan Yunyang snorted coldly, “Remember, from now on, we are no longer people of the Shangguan Family but enemies of Ning Fan.
In the process of ambushing Ning Fan, the enemy will use Teng Huayang as a human shield.
We will accidentally kill Teng Huayang and then flee.
Do you all understand?”
The group now dared not utter a word, their faces filled with struggle.
Suddenly tasked with such a mission, they were unsure whether they should carry it out.
Yet, no one dared to question Shangguan Yunyang, as they were all his trusted followers and had no reason to doubt his decision.
At that moment, everyone exchanged glances, looking at each other and hesitating.
Noticing their expressions, Shangguan Yunyang’s face stiffened, “You’re not afraid to die, are you?”
If even he wasn’t afraid to die, what reason did these men have to fear death?
Shangguan Yunyang really didn’t understand what they were hesitating about.
If this mission succeeded, Ning Fan would become a sworn enemy of the Yunteng Family, creating a perfect opportunity for their Shangguan Family to “kill with a borrowed knife.”
Currently, their Shangguan Family was unable to confront the formidable Ning Fan, but that didn’t mean the Yunteng Family couldn’t.
Moreover, their Shangguan Family had long been eager to break free from the Yunteng Family’s control.
If they played their cards right like Ning Fan did, then they could profit from the chaos.
In Shangguan Yunyang’s view, this plan was flawless.
He thought of how Shangguan Tanglong had vehemently rejected his idea before, and a part of him felt reluctant to accept that.
Shangguan Tanglong’s expression at that time seemed to treat him like a fool.
And now, the young men standing before Shangguan Yunyang weren’t really worried about dying; rather, they were skeptical of Shangguan Yunyang’s plan, questioning its feasibility and not the fear of death.
“Alright, if anyone of you is unwilling to join, leave now.
But after this, never show your face before me again.
You don’t deserve to be called members of the Shangguan Family!”
“We are willing to lay down our lives for the young master!”
