Chapter 22\n<hr class="wp-block-separator">\n“A human will always have weaknesses, and with weaknesses, there will be a hole to break through.” Slowly exhaling a cigar, Tang Xiao gently shook the glass of whisky in his right hand.\n

Tang Ka smacked his lips and murmured in his heart, the words of these big bosses are all surface-level. Obviously people have weaknesses, but the problem is that it is difficult to find the breakthrough to those weaknesses.\n

“Old Chen has two sons, with the eldest son being Chen Tianhe. He came back from studying in Europe and now he is helping Old Chen with his business. He is famous in the circle; smart and hardworking. I’ve seen him several times, this guy and his father are just like each other.” Tang Ka analyzed. “The other son is Chen Yu, the ‘yu’ meaning extra. An illegitimate child with no status in the family. He offended the Song family not long ago and was sent there by his own brother.”\n

Tang Ka frowned, “The man from the Song family is famous. Old Chen sure is cruel. Although the young man was born out of wedlock, he’s his own son after all, yet he was sent out to be played with by others.”\n

What’s so fun with men, women are much more comfortable to hold.\n

“What is the cooperation between the Chen family and the Song family?” Tang Xiao glanced at the computer screen in front of his eyes and put down his glass.\n

“Although the Chen family is not very powerful, it has roots in Hong Kong for generations with a wide network of relations. With the Song family, they have a lot of money and great potential though they still lack the support of some ‘locals’. The Chen family wants money and the Song family wants connections. ” After Tang Ka finished, he looked impatiently at the someone who was smoking and drinking. “Hey, why don’t you tell me what to do. I just don’t understand conspiracies and calculations that hurt my brain.”\n

“We can’t let people know that we’re the ones who did it.” Tang Xiao stood up from his seat and walked slowly to the window. He could not let others know it would be Tang Ka, let alone let others know that it was the mercenary organization ‘T’ who intervened. Every territory has its own rules. The leaders usually fight with each other on territorial grounds, but nothing is as taboo as intervention from outsiders.\n

Tang Xiao blinked his eyes. A white car stopped slowly outside the house. Master Su, who just had his hair done along with getting a massage, came back. The Anna who thought Master Su to be mysterious and amazing is tailing behind like a little fangirl. This made Tang Ka furious every time yet he could not do anything about it.\n

The corners of Tang Xiao’s mouth were slightly raised. How could he forget Su Bai, the famous Yama within the mafia circle, who was also a first-class master in terms of conspiracies, calculations and the dark cunning nature of governmental management.\n

After several months without a proper haircut, Master Su asked Anna to take him to a good barber shop to trim his hair, as he felt that men should always be fresh and clean. Occasionally, when he sees a beautiful man’s advertisement hanging in the shopping mall, he could not help but despise it. Drawn to look like a human Yao (succubus of sorts), this kind of baby-faced look is only good to please women.\n

After cutting his hair, Su Bai went to several clothing stores to buy some clothes. After his meal, he also went to enjoy a massage before going back to the villa.\n

When Tang Ka came downstairs, he saw Anna pouring water for Su Bai. He hummed unhappily, “Mr. Su, President Tang asks you to go upstairs.” Well, Tang Xiao asked Tang Ka to invite Su Bai to go up. The word “invite” was promptly ignored by Tang Ka.\n

Su Bai drank two sips and handed the cup back to Anna. As he walked upstairs, he said, “Anna, go and get my clothes back tomorrow. You can hang them in the closet in my room.”\n

“OK.” Anna replied.\n

The corners of Tang Ka’s mouth twitched, and it was not until Mr. Su went upstairs that he came to the living room downstairs. “Anna, if he wants to go shopping let others accompany him.” It would be odd if you were happy that your woman was called around by others.\n

“Ah Ka, look! This is the necklace that Mr. Su bought for me. Is it nice? ” Anna did not seem to have heard what Tang Ka was saying. She showed her spoils to him, all of which were the latest jewelry, clothes, shoes and bags from famous brand stores.\n

How to win over a person? Compared with the experienced Su Bai, Tang Ka is just too young. In this aspect, he was no match for Master Su.\n

Looking at Anna with a pile of shopping bags in her hands, Tang Ka covered his face with his hands in despair. This Su Mo is so powerful that no wonder he has his cousin on a death grip.\n

“Asking me for help for Old Chen?” Su Bai opened the door and walked in, sitting beside Tang Xiao willingly. Ever since he knew that Tang Xiao was his little fan thanks to Tang Ka, Su Bai’s attitude towards Tang Xiao was much more gentle than before.\n

People are always happy to smile at others who appreciate themselves, especially when this “little fan” is not small per say, it greatly satisfies Master Su’s vanity.\n

“Here’s all the information about the Chen family.” Tang Xiao put out his cigar and turned the computer screen to Su Bai. He got up and poured a cup of coffee and carried it to the man in white.\n

Glancing at the dense information about the Chen family on the computer, Su Bai was not interested and pushed the computer to Tang Xiao. He leaned back on the chair and rubbed his left finger, “Tell me the key points.”\n

Tang Xiao laughed and got up again. He took a white jade pipe from the side. After cutting the tobacco, he handed it to Su Bai. He lit the cigar for Su Bai himself, and told him important information of the Chen family accordingly.\n

“Do you have any suggestions?”\n

Su Bai took a puff of smoke, smiling and glancing at the Tang Xiao who was sitting beside him. He opened his mouth and breathed out the white smoke onto his face and praised, “The cut tobacco is good.”\n

“Royal Box, limited edition,” Tang Xiao squinted and breathed at the smoke in the air, which was kind of sour. “It’s said that this tobacco smoke has a plum flavor.”\n

“Interesting.” Master Su held the pipe in his hand and laughed, “Why don’t you say what you think first.”\n

“Old Chen is an aging man. He eats up religion belief and recites the Buddha’s prayer. The white jade Buddha beads were obtained by his valiant efforts. I’m sure that if he were to choose between the Buddha’s beads and his son, he will choose the beads. Successful coercion and inducement will be difficult.”\n

“So?”\n

“The Chen family and the Song family have a cooperation going on, so we can consider starting from inside,” said Tang Xiao.\n

After smoking two puffs of smoke, Su Bai opened his mouth and said with a gentle smile, “Why bother? Let me ask you a question. If you let Old Chen’s son choose between his father and the Buddha’s bead, what would he choose?”\n

“He will choose neither his father or the beads, but will instead go for the highest position of the Chen family.” Tang Xiao knew that, but there was only one problem. “Old Chen has two sons, and Chen Tianhe, the eldest son, has basically secured the position of the boss of Chen family. He has a good relationship with his father and will not help outsiders deal with his father for the sake of interests.”\n

Su Bai laughed and gently spat out a mouthful of white smoke, “Is there not still an illegitimate son?”\n

“Chen Yu was given to the Song family by Chen Tianhe. Are you going to help Chen Yu to the top?”\n

“One, we can get the Buddha beads; two, we can control the Chen family by controlling Chen Yu; third is to whitewash all this as internal struggles within the Chen family. It’s very reasonable for an abandoned illegitimate son to do something to his father and brother. ” Tapping the pipe on his knee, Su Bai’s eyebrows were in high spirits. Compared to the crude fighting of real swords, Master Su preferred to stand behind the scenes and watch others fight each other to the death, while he alone reaped the benefits.\n

Su Bai’s complacent appearance of scheming and exuberance fell into the eyes of Tang Xiao. He stared at such a Su Bai for a while. This may be regarded as a kind of wise expression, and a wise man will always be treated differently.\n

He had to admit that the Master Su who was scheming is really… so damn handsome!\n

Seeing that Tang Xiao had not responded, Su Bai takes up the cigarette gun and knocked on Tang Xiao’s leg. This man asked him to give advice and dare to be distracted.\n

“What’s the matter? Are you crazy about me?” Master Su hummed. No wonder this punk used to look at me in a daze. The idol he worshiped since he was a child stood right in front of him vividly. Now he has seen my resourcefulness yet again, it can’t be that he was too shocked that he has dazed away?\n

Forget it, if that was true, it can be forgiven on occasion. Su Bai looked at Tang Xiao kindly with a elder’s gesture. Although Tang Xiao was not a good man, he could be a good apprentice. At least he would not let him down like the other two.\n

“Yes, Mr. Su, you are so charming that I can’t help falling in love with you.” Tang Xiao laughed lightly.\n

“Get down to business.” It’s just that this guy occasionally acted like a ruffian.\n

“Let Tang Ka hold an auction party. The Song family and Chen family will also be invited. It is not convenient for Tang Ka and I to contact Chen Yu directly, so I will have to trouble you.”\n

Su Bai raised his eyebrows, “How can you make sure that the people of the Song family will bring Chen Yu?”\n

If Chen Yu followed the Song family to the reception, once he met the Chen family it would be very awkward.\n

“Mr. Su, you just need to contact Chen Yu and leave the rest to me.”\n

Three days later, with the help of Tang Ka, a very normal auction party would be held in Hong Kong every once in a while. Nine out of ten of the invited rich businessmen and dignitaries had agreed to attend, including the Chen family, who was short of money and wanted face, and the Song family, who was not short of money but lacked connections.\n

The clothes that Mr. Su ordered two days ago in the ready-made clothes store were of great use now. White trousers, white shirt along with a black coat, expensive wristwatch, and sporting a neat short hair, it was a mature and capable man come alive.\n

Su Bai was very satisfied with his image. If there was one thing that made him uncomfortable, it was that he still had to play as Tang Xiao’s man this time. He hated Tang Xiao’s damned logic; the best way to get close to Chen Yu is to contact him as a “similar person”. Besides, people in the city were well aware that Tang Xiao had Su Mo as his man.\n

The most damned thing was that Master Su thought that his devilish statement was very reasonable.\n
