So Pure, So Flirtatious Chapter 1229 - The Last Chance

Chapter 1229: The Last Chance

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Judging from the familiarity of Xu Peng and Yang Ming, the relationship between the two should be very close. Hence, Tian Donghua could not treat for the meal.
“There will be opportunities in the future.” Yang Ming smiled and said, “He is my brother from junior high school. If you give him money, he will not want it, and it seems distant instead.”
“Yang Ming, I don’t know how to speak to you about certain things, but I have to say it!” Tian Donghua closed the door, looked solemn, and spoke with a complicated expression.
“Old Tian, what’s the matter with you? You have been so mysterious all this while.” Yang Ming was baffled with Tian Donghua’s behavior. He had always been a carefree and fearless character. What happened today?
Since Tian Donghua’s emotions were unstable now, Yang Ming could use his special ability to explore his thoughts, but Yang Ming did not. There was no point in doing this. Since Tian Donghua looked for Yang Ming, he would definitely say it. Yang Ming would wait for him to open up on his own.
“Yang Ming, Wang Xue and I had done something bad to you once.” Tian Donghua’s face was gloomy. “I, Tian Donghua, will not do anything bad to you a second time! You treat me as a brother, then I have to be worthy of my conscience. Yang Ming, my dad wants to act against you!”
“What?!” Originally, when Yang Ming listened to Tian Donghua’s first half of the sentence at the start, he was still inexplicable. After hearing the second half of the sentence, Yang Ming was shocked on the spot. “Old Tian, what did you say? Your father is going to act against me? What do you mean?”
“My dad, he… Ai, this thing has to start from the beginning.” Tian Donghua took out a beer from the wine cabinet behind him, opened it, and drank it in one breath.
Yang Ming did not speak, but sat quietly and watched Tian Donghua finish the beer. What Tian Donghua said made Yang Ming feel very shocked from the inside. Although he didn’t understand why Tian Long was targeting him and why, Tian Donghua had obviously gone through a tremendous psychological struggle to betray his father to speak out.
After calming down his emotions, Tian Donghua described what his father had done during this time. “Yang Ming, you should know about our Tian Family’s position in Donghai, right?”
Yang Ming nodded, indicating that he understood.
Tian Donghua saw Yang Ming understood, so he continued, “My dad is unwilling to succumb to the Sun Family, so he bought the management of the Sun Family under the support of a mysterious behind-the-scenes boss. He put the Sun Family under house arrest and achieved the status of the Sun Family initially in Donghai…”
“What?!” Yang Ming listened to Tian Donghua’s words and suddenly became shocked. He stood up and stared at Tian Donghua. “What are you talking about? The Sun Family people are under house arrest?”
“Yeah!” Tian Donghua was very confused at the moment; he did not notice Yang Ming’s abnormality. He continued, “In exchange, the behind-the-scenes boss had my dad catch you… But after I knew about this, I rejected it on the spot, and I almost had a fall out with him…”
Yang Ming calmed down his emotions and asked, “You mean the mysterious behind-the-scenes boss had Uncle Tian catch me?”
“That’s the case.” Tian Donghua nodded. “But last time, he had promised me that he won’t make a move on you. Who knows this time… Ai, luckily, you called in advance, so then I knew about this and stopped you! Yang Ming, I can’t harm you!”
Yang Ming nodded thoughtfully. Although he did not have much of a clue as he listened to what Tian Donghua said, it seemed to be related to the actions against him previously!
Another mysterious boss… Is this mysterious boss the same as the previous one?
The most important thing is that Tian Donghua has brought an unusual message to me that Tian Long put the Sun Family under house arrest! Does this include Sun Jie? Given that I could not get through Sun Jie’s phone because the phone was turned off and no one in her house answered the phone, then Tian Donghua’s words are quite believable.
Thinking of Sun Jie, Yang Ming’s heart suddenly became tight.
“You said that your father has put the Sun Family under house arrest. He even wants to capture me for the behind-the-scenes boss?” asked Yang Ming.
“That is the case. However, I just called my father for a good scolding.” Tian Donghua said resolutely, “I don’t care what they do with the Sun Family, but he will definitely not make a move on you. I would give up the father and son relationship if he did that!”
Yang Ming didn’t expect Tian Donghua to say such a firm statement; Yang Ming was a little moved at that moment. However, after Yang Ming listened to Tian Donghua’s words, he also knew that his other plan was ruined.
Initially, Yang Ming planned to beat them at their own game to go to Donghai to meet Tian Long. But now it seemed that Tian Long would be alerted. Tian Donghua’s phone call must have made him understand that his plan had been exposed, so he would not easily see him again.
In fact, how would it be easy for Tian Long to capture Yang Ming after all? Yang Ming was the apprentice of the King of Assassins, Fang Tian. If there were no people around to hold him back, Yang Ming could easily escape or fight in the mass crowd.
It was simply an idiotic dream that Tian Long wanted to catch Yang Ming. Even without Tian Donghua’s confession, Tian Long would not succeed. But now, since Tian Long already knew that Yang Ming was aware of his plan, then Yang Ming didn’t need to go to Donghai to see Tian Long.
At the very least, for the open appointment, Tian Long would not attend. Tian Long was also afraid that Yang Ming would do some tricks or even make a police report! As a matter of fact, what Tian Long did was disgraceful. Many things in the underworld were solved internally; no one would call the police. However, when Yang Ming was added to the picture, it was different. Yang Ming’s public identity was a college student. There was nothing wrong with calling the police and saying that Tian Long wanted to kidnap him, so Tian Long no longer dared to take the risk to make a move on Yang Ming.
“Thank you, Old Tian!” Yang Ming patted Tian Donghua’s shoulder, but he was thinking about Tian Donghua’s words. The shock that his words brought to Yang Ming was too great!
Tian Long actually turned against the Sun Family and took over their business in Donghai, which Yang Ming did not expect. This change came so fast that Yang Ming couldn’t digest it.
How come there are so many changes once I came back from another country?* Something horrible happened to Ming Yang Entertainment; Liu Chan and Qu Daming have run away. On Donghai’s side, the Sun Family’s helping hand, the Tian Family, also rebelled against the Sun Family.*
Wait! Yang Ming suddenly came into a realization of a somewhat bold guess in his mind! Are the things with Liu Chan and Qu Daming related to Tian Long?
Since Tian Long wanted to make a move on me, would he make an attack on my own business? The most important thing is that Liu Chan and Qu Daming fled to Donghai, which inevitably explains something.
However, this was also Yang Ming’s general judgment. Whether there was a connection between them, it was not known at present. He could only ask after he caught the two people in the future.
Yang Ming didn’t expect that Tian Long couldn’t hold it. In Yang Ming’s plan, Sun Jie was his woman. Sooner or later, she would go to North Africa together with him. Donghai’s business would be left to Tian Donghua.
In this way, Donghai’s business would fall into the hands of the Tian Family eventually. However, Tian Long actually rebelled at this moment, so that Yang Ming suddenly felt a little troubled. Yang Ming wanted to leave the Sun Family’s business to Tian Long, but now, Tian Long’s rebellion had made this thing go ahead of schedule. However, in this way, Yang Ming really had no way to hand over the Sun Family’s business to him.
Although the results were the same, and it was nothing more than a little ahead of schedule, Yang Ming absolutely could not tolerate Tian Long’s practice! Looking at the distressed Tian Donghua, Yang Ming sighed.
In any case, Tian Donghua was not wrong. His practice made Yang Ming very much appreciative. When Tian Long planned to be unfavorable to him, Tian Donghua stood up bravely. Although it didn’t help the situation, this friendship made Yang Ming grateful.
If I made a move on Tian Long, then what about Tian Donghua? If I kill Tian Long, will my relationship with Tian Donghua be the same as before? Yang Ming shook his head.
The relationship between Tian Donghua and Tian Long is different from that of Wang Xue and Wang Xifan. In the end, Wang Xifan is just a father on paper for Wang Xue. In fact, he had never fulfilled his responsibility as a father. Wang Xue’s feelings for him were not deep.
Even so, Wang Xue did some things that were not good for her under the instigation of her brother, Wang Zhitao. Tian Donghua is very close to Tian Long! If I make a move on Tian Long, then…
Yang Ming felt a little headache thinking of these.
Seeing Yang Ming’s face being a bit gloomy, Tian Donghua didn’t know Yang Ming’s thoughts. He thought that Yang Ming was angry, so he said, “Yang Ming, don’t worry. We are brothers anyways. That’s all I can do! I will do my best to fight against my father.”
Yang Ming heard Tian Donghua’s words, and he was a little moved. Between brotherhood and morality, sometimes it was tough to decide. It was easy to kill Tian Long, but how would he face Tian Donghua in the future?
Thinking of this, Yang Ming decided first to test the thoughts of Tian Donghua. “Old Tian, do you know what your father is doing? It is embezzling others’ property!”
Tian Donghua lowered his head. In fact, he did not agree with his father’s practice, but his father kept saying that he did this for the Tian Family, for Tian Donghua and Tian Dongguang. Besides, Tian Donghua was unable to interfere with what Tian Long did. Tian Donghua’s words did not work in front of Tian Long! Otherwise, Tian Long wouldn’t break his promise after he agreed not to make a move on Yang Ming.
“If he succeeds, then it will be easy.” As Yang Ming said this, he paused and continued, “But you think about it. What if he fails? Will the Sun Family people not counterattack? For those who have a relationship with the Sun Family, will they turn a blind eye to it? At that time, your father is not only dead but will die a bitter end!”
Tian Donghua was shocked. He thought about it, but he didn’t want to be stuck in it. Now, since he was reminded by Yang Ming, Tian Donghua knew that this was not a false alarm, but it was really possible!
Yang Ming said nothing wrong. What did his father do? He took over the company of another, and put their family members under house arrest. If possible, would the other party spare him?
“Even when I speak to him, it doesn’t work… He won’t listen to me.” Tian Donghua shook his head sadly. “I also know that his actions are wrong, but I have no other way.”
Yang Ming knew that Tian Donghua was telling the truth. In Tian Long’s opinion, Tian Donghua was just a child. How could Tian Long listen to Tian Donghua’s suggestion? Moreover, in Tian Long’s opinion, he did this for the Tian Family.
“What would you do if something happens to your father?” Yang Ming raised his head and looked at Tian Donghua.
Tian Donghua was shocked by Yang Ming’s sudden questioning. However, Tian Donghua was not stupid, and he immediately heard the hidden meaning in Yang Ming’s words.
“Yang Ming, you…” Tian Donghua didn’t know what to say, but he could guess something faintly.
“Donghua, there are some things I don’t want to hide from you.” Yang Ming sighed and organized his own thoughts and said, “Do you know why your father wants to capture me?”
“Why?” Tian Donghua looked at Yang Ming, slightly surprised and baffled. Yang Ming’s tone seemed to indicate he already knew the grievance between Tian Long and him.
“Because Sun Jie is my girlfriend.” Yang Ming said word by word.
Yang Ming’s words were like the mines which shocked Tian Donghua for a long while. He dropped his jaws widely, looking at Yang Ming incredulously. Yang Ming did not say anything about the behind-the-scenes boss. That was too ethereal. The reason of him being the son-in-law of Sun Hongjun was enough to explain the abnormal behavior of Tian Long. It also created a reason for him to make a move on Tian Long.
“Sun Jie! Is your girlfriend?” Tian Donghua looked at Yang Ming incredulously. “My dad wants to act against you, not because of the behind-the-scenes boss, but because of your relationship with the Sun Family?”
Yang Ming nodded and said, “As long as he doesn’t eliminate me, he can’t control the Sun Family completely. I will certainly avenge the Sun Family, so your father wants to capture me…”
“Yang Ming, Sun Jie is actually your girlfriend. This is too shocking!” Tian Donghua widened his eyes. “How did I not know before?”
“How can I talk about this kind of thing?” Yang Ming smiled bitterly. “However, you don’t have to doubt the facts I said.”
“That is true. The mysterious boss behind-the-scenes is completely an excuse? In fact, there is no such thing?” Tian Donghua asked quickly.
“I don’t know if there is such a person.” Yang Ming shook his head. “However, one of the reasons he acts against me is definitely because of the Sun Family.”
Yang Ming was slightly apologetic. After all, he deceived Tian Donghua, but this kind of white lie was much better than direct deception. With Yang Ming’s character, he would not let Tian Long go, but now, he had found a reason for Tian Donghua to accept.
“Yang Ming, are you going to fight with my father?” Tian Donghua was slightly surprised.
“Some things must be done.” Yang Ming nodded. “I have to save Sun Jie.”
“But, you are not my father’s opponent!” Tian Donghua exclaimed, “Or, how about I speak to my father and have him release the Sun Family?”
“Donghua, I know that it is difficult for you to be in the middle, but I don’t want you to continue to participate in this matter. It is not good for you.” Yang Ming shook his head. “Tian Long is an ambitious person. If he can listen to your persuasion, he will not go back on his words. Once there is a hatred between him and me, it is not so easy to resolve.”
When Tian Donghua heard that Yang Ming’s address to his father changed from “Uncle Tian” to the current “Tian Long,” Tian Donghua knew that Yang Ming was determined to be his father’s enemy.
In fact, Yang Ming was right. If Tian Donghua’s father listened to his advice, his father would not go back on his words. Tian Donghua’s words were minute in front of his father. There was almost no substantive effect.
Tian Donghua did not want anything to happen on either side, neither Yang Ming’s nor his father’s. Although it was his father’s matter, it was still his father, after all. On one side, it was family while on the other side, it was friendship. Tian Donghua kept silent.
“Yang Ming, anyway, I will talk it out with my father. I hope he can rein in the horse at the edge of the precipice 1 [1].” Tian Donghua took a deep breath and said, “Even if he does not listen to me, I will try to persuade him not to hurt you. In the same way, I also hope that if… I am saying just in case my father is really standing at the opponent side of you; I hope that if you two can reconcile, you will solve this matter peacefully…”
Yang Ming looked at Tian Donghua, who was usually laughing and joking in front of him. As he suddenly said these words, Yang Ming was a little surprised. However, it was not uncommon to experience the sudden growth at the spur of the moment in the face of such an event, so it could only be understood that Tian Donghua had matured.
“I… promise you!” Yang Ming hesitated before he spoke. Tian Donghua’s attitude did not allow Yang Ming to make a ruthless decision. If Tian Long could make it out alive, it would be more or less thanks to Tian Donghua. If it weren’t for Tian Donghua willing to have a fall out with Tian Long because of their friendship, Yang Ming wouldn’t be soft-hearted.
In fact, Yang Ming also knew that Tian Donghua did not understand his true strength. Once he knew about Yang Ming’s true strength, he would not act like this.
What Tian Donghua worried about the most was that Tian Long would harm Yang Ming. From the overall strength, Tian Long’s strength was naturally strong. Yang Ming was just a student. What was his capital to fight against Tian Long?
Tian Donghua didn’t know Yang Ming was an assassin. Moreover, he was still a world-class top assassin. Can someone who was targeted by Yang Ming still be alive?
“I will leave for Donghai in a while. Anyway, I will do my best to persuade my father. I hope he can listen to me,” said Tian Donghua.
“Okay,” Yang Ming nodded. If Tian Long could really change his mind for the better, Yang Ming would let him go this time as if nothing happened.
However, this was the last chance. It depended on Tian Long whether he could grasp and cherish it. If Tian Long was still obsessed, then no one could help him.
