Chapter 226 The Plan Begins
An Litong acted swiftly; after issuing a series of orders, a large number of people secretly began to work.
The entire Aodu Chamber of Commerce began secretly transferring resources.
All of this was being carried out in secret, and only Li Yuanren, through his keen intuition, caught a whiff of it.
Upon learning that An Litong had begun mobilizing a large amount of resources, Li Yuanren's first thought was that An Litong was going to take action against him.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to mobilize resources within the chamber of commerce without going through him.
Inside the luxuriously constructed secret room, Li Yuanren sat on a pure gold chair with a gloomy face. The tiger head on the right armrest had been crushed, scattering gold fragments all over the floor.
Suddenly, the soul-guided light screen in front of them activated, and then Wang Yu, kneeling on one knee, appeared in the light screen.
"Master, the situation here isn't optimistic. Although the number of people in the arena hasn't changed, several groups of the same people come to compete every day. It's very likely they're here for us," Wang Yu said quickly.
Li Yuanren's expression immediately darkened further as he asked, "How are the spies I sent out doing?"
"There's no news yet, all we can confirm is that the scout is still alive," Wang Yu said.
Li Yuanren took a deep breath. Most of the forces he had secretly cultivated had been placed under surveillance, which meant that he might have been exposed to An Litong's surveillance long ago, or that he had been betrayed.
"Could it be that my people have been arrested? Impossible. If An Litong had known about this beforehand, he would never have tolerated me touching his territory!"
"How is Mr. Mu doing?" Li Yuanren asked.
Wang Yu shook his head and said, "We can't get in touch with him, so we don't know Mr. Mu's situation. Maybe he's clashed with Xiao Nanye?"
In fact, Wang Yu wasn't sure if his guess was right. He had tried calling the soul guide communication system so many times that he still couldn't get in touch with Mu Shiyi.
However, the news of Xiao Nanye's reappearance led Wang Yu to speculate that Mu Shiyi might have gone there because of this.
Upon hearing Wang Yu's words, Li Yuanren slowly closed his eyes, and the eight spirit rings behind him shone wildly.
A moment later, Li Yuanren opened his eyes and withdrew his soul ring.
"Since we can't contact Mr. Mu for the time being, we can't just sit and wait. Let's gather all the resources and personnel we have at hand. I want to see what An Litong is up to!"
"I, Li Yuanren, am wholeheartedly devoted to the Chamber of Commerce and live up to my position as Vice President of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce!"
Li Yuanren's roar echoed in the secret room.
He couldn't understand why An Litong would make such a big move. Wasn't he afraid that if pushed too far, he would turn on him? He held nearly half of the resources in the Aodu Chamber of Commerce!
Meanwhile, Mu Shiyi, whom Wang Yu had been longing for, also known as Ye Huli, was currently holed up in Xuan Ziwen's laboratory, engrossed in tinkering with a new soul-guided bomb.
Ju Zi, who stayed in the lab under the pretext of discussing the plan, sat in a chair, her right hand resting on the armrest, her cheek propped up, and her eyebrows raised as she looked at the strange soul tool that Ye Nanxiao had concocted.
"Seeing how much rare metal you usually steal, I thought you were going to make some kind of earth-shattering soul-guided weapon, but all you did was make a ball?" Orange said, staring wide-eyed.
Ye Nanxiao, who was inscribing the core magic array on the "ball", turned his head and glanced at Ju Zi upon hearing this, and then continued with his work.
Orange accurately received Ye Nanxiao's message: "Woman, what do you know?!"
She clenched her little hands into fists and gestured a few times towards the back of Ye Nanxiao's head.
Feeling a gust of wind brushing past the back of his head, Ye Nanxiao immediately turned his head to look.
All that could be seen was that the little fist of the orange was only a few centimeters away from his face.
Gently moving Orange's little fist away, Ye Nanxiao asked with displeasure, "Little Orange, what are you doing?"
Upon hearing this, Ju Zi smiled slightly, a crossroads appearing on her fair forehead, and her little fist slammed down towards Ye Nanxiao's face.
Seeing that Ju Zi had suddenly launched an attack, Ye Nanxiao dodged slightly.
With a burst of energy, Ju Zi suddenly moved closer to Ye Nanxiao.
"Little Orange, did you take the wrong medicine today?" Ye Nanxiao said fiercely.
Seeing Ye Nanxiao's face so close to hers, Ju Zi blushed slightly, let out a soft snort, and quickly moved away, huffing, "Who told you to give me another nickname! And such an awful one at that!"
Ye Nanxiao scratched his head. He thought the name "Ju Xiaohan" sounded pretty good.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Nanxiao received a glare from Ju Zi.
"Then, Orange Hanhan?" Ye Nanxiao asked tentatively.
"You'll lose your fruit supplier if you do that, are you sure, junior?" Orange squinted slightly, opened his hand, and a purple orange immediately appeared in his palm.
A blur flashed by, and the purple-skinned orange in Ju Zi's palm had vanished, now held in Ye Nanxiao's hand.
"Okay, senior, whatever you say goes!" Ye Nanxiao smiled sincerely. For the sake of his meal ticket, he would follow his heart this once.
Orange stood on tiptoe, patted Ye Nanxiao's head, and laughed, "That's a good boy, little junior!"
Looking at the purple-skinned orange in his hand, Ye Nanxiao resisted the urge to swat away the claws that were wreaking havoc on his head.
After finishing the purple-skinned orange, Ye Nanxiao turned around and squatted down in front of the "ball" again, fiddling with the core magic array.
"You still haven't told me what this ball of yours is for?" Orange pulled up a chair and sat down next to Ye Nanxiao, poking his shoulder with her little hand, her voice soft and sweet like a young girl's.
"Bombs! Bombs!" Ye Nanxiao said impatiently.
A bomb? Orange blinked, examined the large sphere Ye Nanxiao had created, and couldn't help but swallow hard. "Are you trying to blow this entire lab up?" she asked.
Ye Nanxiao installed one of the core magic arrays, clapped his hands, looked at the orange with its little mouth open, and reached out to place his hand on the orange's forehead.
"No signs of fever, why is he acting like a fool today? Much more foolish than usual!" Ye Nanxiao muttered.
Orange rolled her eyes and reached out to pull the paw off her forehead.
"Are you sure you want to make such a big commotion?" Orange asked.
Upon hearing this, Ye Nanxiao shook his head. He wasn't Ju Xiaohan; he was still clear-headed. This was Mingdu, and if they made a big commotion, the first thing they would attract was the great shark that smelled blood.
What he wanted was the complete Aodu Chamber of Commerce, not the Aodu Chamber of Commerce that had been fragmented by numerous Great White Sharks.
"I know what I'm doing," Ye Nanxiao said.
After she finished speaking, Ju Zi fell silent, her beautiful eyes fixed on Ye Nanxiao, as if trying to see through his inner thoughts.
A moment later, four silencing beads slowly floated around the orange, creating a silencing barrier.
After setting up the barrier, Orange slowly said, "You need to be careful lately. The bait you threw out has caused turmoil in the entire underworld, and I've been affected a bit as well."
"Moreover, I've always felt that someone has been watching us from the shadows in this turbulent situation, perhaps it's someone secretly planted by the Crown Prince."
After Ju Zi finished speaking, Ye Nanxiao put away the large ball in front of him.
"Don't worry, I understand that. They won't close the net until the job is done. If things don't go well, they can only wait in the shadows," Ye Nanxiao said.
"It didn't work out?" Orange asked, slightly puzzled.
"If they can't take it, they naturally won't intervene. If they don't intervene, then nothing will happen. Besides, they don't know the real progress." Ye Nanxiao twirled a round, white ball on his finger.
"If it's an internal matter of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, they can handle it themselves and regain control of the Chamber. They can also promise Xu Tianran double the resources they'll provide to maintain their position in the underworld. What do you think of this tactic of paying to avoid further trouble?"
After Ye Nanxiao finished speaking, a look of surprise appeared on Ju Zi's pretty face.
She didn't expect that Ye Nanxiao had already discovered the people Xu Tianran had secretly arranged, and was even planning how to use them to turn the tables on her!
According to Ye Nanxiao, as long as the core members of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce are not dismantled, the Aodu Chamber of Commerce will not become a puppet chamber of commerce in Xu Tianran's hands.
Ye Nanxiao clearly intended to target the powerful high-ranking members of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce and bring them under his control.
From the outside, it seemed that the Aodu Chamber of Commerce was just experiencing some internal turmoil. Naturally, someone within the Aodu Chamber of Commerce would step in to suppress this chaos, and at some cost, to please Xu Tianran while protecting themselves.
Even if Xu Tianran was unwilling, he would not truly eliminate the underground forces before he had fully grasped the power of the Sun Moon Empire and ascended the throne.
Ye Nanxiao's scheme made Ju Zi feel a little scared, but also excited.
Their alliance is far from over.
"Great plan! Well then, I'll be waiting for your good news, junior!" Orange smiled brightly and winked at Ye Nanxiao.
"I estimate it'll be close to the time to close the net, and some news will leak out by then, so you need to be careful." Ye Nanxiao tossed the small white ball in his hand to Ju Zi.
"Is this junior brother concerned about his senior sister?" Orange's lips curled up, her beautiful eyes forming a crescent moon. She reached out and caught the small white ball that Ye Nanxiao threw to her, and put it into her storage bracelet without even looking at it.
The junior student is actually caring about the senior student! I'm so touched. He's finally not the bad junior student who only bullies the senior student anymore!
Ju Zi was in a great mood. With her martial spirit possessing her, she actively conjured a bunch of purple-skinned oranges and handed them to Ye Nanxiao.
Watching Ye Nanxiao take out a sack and busily collect the purple-skinned oranges, the corners of Orange's mouth curved upwards even further.
Orange put away the silencing bead, chatted with Ye Nanxiao for a few words, and then got up and left.
After learning Ye Nanxiao's true plan, Ju Zi also needs to make some changes to the plan.
After Ju Zi left, Xue Di's voice echoed in Ye Nanxiao's spiritual sea.
"Based on my years of research into dating guides, this girl seems to have feelings for you!" Xue Di said excitedly, her eyes burning with the urge to watch the drama unfold.
"I wouldn't dare to have such thoughts. 'Little Hazy Orange' is just a nice-sounding nickname. This silly girl is actually quite clever! She could be devoured if you're not careful. After all, she has the potential to become an emperor." Ye Nanxiao's eyes gleamed with a deep, dark light.
He knew very well that Ju Zi's scheming and strategy were comparable to Emperor Wu's!
"Hmm? Isn't this your type?" Xue Di asked in confusion. She remembered that Ye Nanxiao always followed his heart and would go for it directly when he met someone he liked.
"I didn't do it, I didn't do it, don't talk nonsense!" The fox, whose identity had been exposed, hurriedly defended itself.
