Chapter 101

Beside them, Gao Changwen said with some heartache, "How truly pitiful."

Gao Yang glanced at him. "I didn't see you stop your hands, though."

Gao Changwen immediately gave a sheepish smile and then said righteously, "Big Brother, that's where you're wrong. The silver of the Duke of the State's mansion doesn't come easily; it was earned by Grandfather with his life. It's all blood and sweat money, so how could I stop?"

"Otherwise, how could I face Grandfather?"

It had to be said, these words made some sense.

But then again, if it weren't for these playboys in Changancheng, how would they live?

Thinking this way, the guilt in Gao Yang's heart instantly lessened.

Although he wouldn't act like Gao Changwen, enjoying having someone pour wine, listening to a little tune, and enjoying the luxurious life of an ancient playboy.

That wasn't bad either.

In this atmosphere, he could better clear his thoughts and completely relax.

After a while, the tune ended, and Zhao Da also came to his side and whispered.

"Eldest Young Master, Chen Sheng has returned. He wants to see you."

Gao Yang raised an eyebrow and then said, "Let him in."

He waved his hand, and the two maids and the zither-playing woman left with great tact.

Chen Sheng walked in quickly.

Outside, retainers stood on both sides.

Gao Yang looked at Chen Sheng. "You figured out Wu Cheng's movements so quickly?"

Chen Sheng nodded. "Eldest Young Master, this Wu Cheng is very cautious. Your subordinate spent all day yesterday inquiring and found that this person's only weakness is that he loves excitement."

"He loves coming to this Rouge Pavilion the most. For the past seven days, he has spent almost every night here. He went out once this morning, but the guards around him doubled, so I fear he is already on guard, making it difficult to make a move."

Gao Yang smiled; he hadn't expected Wu Cheng not to be a fool.

Clearly, he had taken precautions and was not like an ordinary playboy.

"I originally intended to solve this with the identity of a playboy, starting with Wu Cheng and proceeding slowly, but since he isn't giving me the chance, that's forcing me to make a direct move against the Prince of Rong."

Gao Yang's voice carried a chill.

Gao Changwen was stunned, and it took a long time before he widened his eyes. "We're going to make a move against the Prince of Rong's Mansion?"

Gao Yang glanced at Gao Changwen. "Are you afraid?"

Gao Changwen immediately shook his head excitedly. "Big Brother, what are you saying? If we take down this Prince of Rong's Mansion, my Duke of the State's mansion will be able to shake the world with its prestige. What is there to be afraid of?"

Gao Changwen rubbed his hands together.

Playboys were never afraid of causing trouble; on the contrary, face was sometimes more important than anything else.

As for the cost, apart from some consequences that would pierce the heavens, that was almost never within their consideration.

Chen Sheng also asked curiously, "Eldest Young Master, what do you intend to do?"

Gao Yang glanced at Chen Sheng and said, "Wanting to trap the Prince of Rong is not difficult. The Prince of Rong has a noble status and holds great power, and he fears rumors the most. We can create rumors, such as a fox speaking human words, or children singing that the mandate of heaven lies with the Prince, and other such rumors."

"Since ancient times, rumors have been as fierce as tigers. One spreads to ten, ten to a hundred. Once this spreads, the Prince of Rong will surely lose his footing." ===== CHAPTER 103 =====
