Chapter 212: My Background

Seeing my persistence, Chen Feng had no other choice, but he still gave me a special reminder to be careful. If things didn't work out, I should escape in time; nothing was more important than my own life.

I discussed the specific situation with Chen Feng, and afterwards, it was decided that I would be the one to deal with the Li family, find their weaknesses, and then wipe them out in one fell swoop.

After a brief exchange, I bid farewell to Chen Feng. Chen Feng wanted to keep me for a meal at his home, but I declined because I still needed to find Miss Ling and Miss Shuang. Chen Feng provided me with their whereabouts and contact information. If I could obtain the assistance of Miss Shuang and Miss Ling, dealing with the Li family would be much simpler.

After obtaining the contact information for Miss Shuang and Miss Ling, I left Chen Feng's house and dialed Miss Ling's number.

"Who is this?"

"Miss Ling, it's me! Yang Yun!"

"What? Yang Yun, is it really you? I heard before that you didn't die, but I didn't expect it to actually be true. You scared me to death! Where are you now? I'll come find you!"

"Miss Ling, let me come to you. I'm free right now anyway!"

"Alright, then come to this place [XX]!"

After receiving confirmation from Miss Ling, I took Xiao Huan to her location. Because Miss Ling had personally given the word, we didn't encounter much obstruction, but I was still a bit surprised. I hadn't expected Miss Ling to be at the city's largest conglomerate, the Tianyu Group. I just didn't know if Miss Ling was the chairperson of the Tianyu Group, but even if she wasn't the chairperson, she must hold a fairly powerful position.

Arriving at Miss Ling's office, I saw her sitting at her desk, busy with work, though I didn't know what she was busy with. Seeing us arrive, Miss Ling set aside her tasks and said to us, "You're here. Sit down!"

I sat in a chair and said to Miss Ling, "Miss Ling, what exactly is the situation with Xu Hongzhi?"

"Xu Hongzhi? What's wrong with Xu Hongzhi?" Yu Manling clearly didn't understand what I was asking about.

"Xu Hongzhi has now become the boss of Huang Laohu, he has quite a few people under him, and he also has significant assets! How did this happen?" I asked, puzzled.

When Yu Manling heard this, she understood what it was about and said to me, "This was back when I was preparing to deal with the Li family. Huang Laohu recommended him, and since he was your brother and I saw he had ambition, I helped him out a bit and gave him some business. Is there a problem with that?"

"I want to ask you, Miss Ling, if a conflict were to arise between Xu Hongzhi and me, who would you help?" I looked at Yu Manling tentatively as I asked. My main goal was to determine the reason why Miss Ling and Miss Shuang were helping me, and at the same time, to test whether they would actually stand by me.

Hearing my words, Yu Manling was clearly surprised. She looked at me and asked, "Aren't you and Xu Hongzhi brothers? Why are you asking this?"

"We were brothers before, that's true, but we aren't anymore. Miss Ling, I am standing against him. What is your stance?" I looked at her and asked.

Miss Ling smiled, walked over, and patted my shoulder, saying, "Does that even need to be asked? Miss Ling will naturally take care of you!"

"Miss Ling, to be honest, I don't understand why you have always taken such good care of me. What is your reason?" I stared at Miss Ling, wanting to see from her face what her reaction was and whether she was telling the truth.

"This, do you really want to know?" Miss Ling looked at me and said seriously.

Seeing Miss Ling's demeanor, I figured she was likely going to say something significant, which made my heart race. I looked at Miss Ling and said, "Miss Ling, do you know something?"

"Actually, the reason I care about you so much is mainly because of your parents. I was entrusted by your parents. I can't tell you the specific situation yet, but someone will tell you in detail later. You just need to know that I will not harm you!"

Hearing this, I was completely stunned. This was the first time someone had spoken to me about my parents' situation. I asked Miss Ling excitedly, "Miss Ling, do you know my parents? Are my parents still alive? Why don't they come to see me if they are alive? Why did they abandon me while they were still alive! Why!"

"Yang Yun, don't get excited. This matter isn't what you think it is. There are some things I truly cannot tell you, but you will know eventually!" Miss Ling hurriedly comforted me.

Seeing this, I knew there was no point in continuing; Miss Ling clearly wasn't going to tell me, and saying more would be useless.

"Alright, Miss Ling, since you've said that, I can rest easy. I came here this time to tell you about this situation!"

"By the way, what exactly happened back then? I heard you were betrayed. I specifically sent people to investigate for a long time, but found nothing. Fortunately, you are still alive, otherwise your parents would have been heartbroken to death!"

"I have basically cleared up what happened back then, but I am still missing some evidence. However, it is basically confirmed, and I plan to take action in a while!"

"Take action? Are you planning to take action against the person who betrayed you, or against the Li family?"

"Both, I suppose. The Li family definitely has to be dealt with, and the person who betrayed me won't get away either. I have decided to deal with the Li family first. The Li family has such a large influence now that they are not easy to deal with; they are the primary threat, so they must be dealt with first!"

"Fine, if there is anything you need me to cooperate with or any help you need, you can come to me at any time, or contact your Miss Shuang. However, your Miss Shuang is quite busy, so just contact me for anything!"

"Good, hearing you say that, Miss Ling, I can rest easy. This way I can act boldly and confidently!"

"If I'm not mistaken, the one who betrayed you back then was Xu Hongzhi, right?"

"That's not certain yet, but it's most likely him!"

"I didn't expect it to really be him. I thought that guy was reliable back then. I didn't expect him to be such a despicable and shameless villain. Don't worry, if it really is him, I won't let him off either. Besides, that guy's current situation is basically all thanks to us. Since we had the ability to help him rise, we naturally have the ability to make him step down!"

"That won't be necessary. If there is a need later, I will definitely contact you, Miss Ling!"

After exchanging a few more polite words with Miss Ling, I left with Xiao Huan. With the help of Miss Ling and Miss Shuang, I now had sufficient confidence to deal with the Li family. Plus, with the support of the authorities, I felt my backbone was even stiffer.

"Brother Yang Yun, where are we going next?" Xiao Huan looked up at me and asked, puzzled.

I thought about the situation and decided to think about how to take action next, and how to get the Li family to take the bait. But since I was still alive, as long as I spread the news that I was alive and let the Li family know, they would likely take the bait on their own.
