Chapter 51 The Conspiracy

After getting home, Lu Yao went to bed and brushed up the whole thing over and over again.

During the cultivation, Lu Yao had experienced so much that he was no longer the dumb boy who used to right wrongs on impulse.

From the coincidence of coming across Aunt Wang to treat Ma Qingwen at Aunt Wang's home, as well as him trailing Dr. Zhou, who was kidn*pped tonight, Lu Yao found that he might be induced by others.

It seemed the robbery was arranged for him to run into Aunt Wang, but how could they know he would go to treat Aunt Wang's husband? After all, he and Aunt Wang had been nothing more than used-to-be neighbors.

The more Lu Yao analyzed, the more horrified he got, as he found his private life was no secret to those people. He guessed that they also knew he had refused to guarantee for Aunt Wang's son Ma Jingxue.

It started to dawn on Lu Yao that the plot was too huge for a sole g**g of the South. Even though he wasn't sure of it, he still felt that there could be a helper plotting against him behind the scene. And the helper was familiar with Lu Yao enough to know Lu Yao's temper and characteristics. Otherwise, he couldn't be played like a fool in this way.

Thinking of this, Lu Yao thought he must go to discuss with Wang Ping and Li Jiang to make a decision. He would definitely get himself killed if he asked Bao Tianyi for the mummies, which were used to extract Living Dead Water with merely a rocketing pulse.

...

...

On the next morning, Lu Yao woke up early to practice as usual, even harder than before. He didn't stop until all his joints and meridians couldn't bear it.

After finishing the practice, he went to the bathroom to wash away all the black stuff oozing out of the pores. Then he put up his school uniform and went to school.

Lu Yao planned to find Wang Ping in the Tianxin martial arts school and discuss it at noon.

At school, Lin Jiayi told him something troublesome, which made him both happy and a little depressed.

Lin Jiayi handed him a note during the class.

And it read, "See you at Xijing University!"

It was flat-out clear that Lin Jiayi had overheard that Lu Yao wanted to be admitted by Xijing University, so she changed her dream university from Yanjing University into Xijing University.

Nothing had changed ever since the note. Lin Jiayi neither told Lu Yao why she wanted to go to the same university as Lu Yao did nor asked Lu Yao for his opinion.

They didn't talk to each other till they came home from school.

Lu Yao really wondered if he should apologize to the leaders of Yanjing University as his words made Yanjing University lose such a talented student.

However, so far, the priority was to find Wang Ping at Tianxin martial arts school.

...

...

It wasn't Assistant Huang who came to welcome him in the martial arts school. Instead, it was a female intern he had never seen before. She politely allowed him to enter the martial arts school after checking his work card with "Director Assistant" on it.

When Lu Yao showed up at Wang Ping's office, there was a young man he had seen once there. After all this time, Lu Yao had learned that the man was called Wu Dajing who was also sponsored by the martial arts school, whereas the man practiced full-time martial arts. He wasn't like Lu Yao who took part-time practice.

Seeing Lu Yao come in, Wu Dajing respectfully rose to his feet and greeted, "Here you are, Assistant Lu."

"Hey, Brother Wu. I'm here to talk business with Brother Wang." Lu Yao politely called the man Brother Wu as Wu Dajing was two years older than him.

"Well, I'll leave him to you. See you, Coach Wang." Wu Dajing said, then left and closed the door.

After Wu Dajing left, Wang Ping motioned for Lu Yao to sit in the opposite armchair.

"Hope I didn't interrupt you two." Lu Yao guiltily said after sitting down.

"Not at all. I was about to call you here." Wang Ping smiled.

"Me?" Lu Yao was kind of curious.

"Yep. Here is one thing that I need your opinion." After a swig of water, Wang Ping said, "The competition of 'Best Martial Man' in the Northwest Five Provinces will be held at the end of this year. What do you think if I want you and Wu Dajing to take part in as Tianxin martial arts school's representatives?"

"Me?" It was the first time for Lu Yao to hear about the stuff about the martial arts competition in person. He glimpsed at its ads for once when he went to the nearby store. Never would he imagine that Wang Ping intended him to take part in the competition as Tianxin martial arts school's representative.

"Sure. This competition was a bit different from the past as all the competitors should be trained by their own martial arts school all the time, so as to check the real teaching performance of the schools. So, I think you and Wu Dajing are the best options." Wang Ping explained.

"Fine. I'll think about it." Lu Yao continued, "But now I've got something really important to ask you for help."

"Obviously, it can be really tough if you think it's important." Seeing Lu Yao's serious features, Wang Ping joked, "Pray tell me."

Lu Yao told him what had happened yesterday, and he also said his own guesses. However, he didn't tell him that Ma Qingxue had drunk Living Dead Water.

He didn't know how to explain it to Wang Ping as one couldn't even find it in any medical books.

"How could this happened? No wonder there's been something wrong with g**g of the South," Wang Ping said with an epiphany after looking through all the information he had gathered from all kinds of resources.

"Has g**g of the South been acting weird?" Lu Yao realized that Wang Ping must have got some information, or he wouldn't have said so.

Thinking of Wang Ping's military background, Lu Yao felt it all made sense.

Wang Ping told Lu Yao that g**g of the South sprang up five years ago as its boss Bao Tianyi was entitled Brother Yi, busy with his stuff in the South District of Shuangta City, and he was a gangster with a little conscience.

Compared with the previous gangs working on smuggling, d**g trafficking, and collecting protection money, g**g of the South behaved themselves much better as they mainly made profits from running legal nightclubs and collecting the debt for others. Despite the fact that they could have street fights with others, the authorities turned blind eye since they never got anyone killed.

However, it was strange that they suddenly gave up their former trades and took up smuggling, which bothered the authorities. Relevant departments had started to investigate them.

Adding what Lu Yao had said, everything made sense now. It seemed that Bao Tianyi must have been manipulated by others.

"Is he manipulated by people of Sky Tower who don't easily give up?" Lu Yao suddenly thought of Sky Tower repeatedly mentioned by Qian Hu.

"Maybe. I guess Qian Hu who escaped last time could be involved. I'll update my leader on this." Wang Ping didn't have to cover his true identity since Lu Yao had figured it out.

However, like Lu Yao, he also had some untold secrets, which were his real purposes in Shuangta City.

"Well, Bother Wang, I've got to go back to school in the afternoon, and I'll see you this evening." Since Wang Ping needed to report to his boss, they could make an appointment. Looking at the clock in the wall, Lu Yao said.

"Okay. I guess I'll get the instruction in the afternoon." Wang Ping rose to his feet and escorted Lu Yao out.

...

...

After Lu Yao left, Wang Ping updated Elder Huang on the latest information and told him about his own ideas.

Elder Huang consented. However, differing from the past, this time Wang Ping and others would work as Lu Yao's assistants as they had to help Lu Yao deal with some stuff Lu Yao couldn't handle.

Lu Yao came to the martial arts school again in the afternoon. Wang Ping told him about the leader's instructions. Since they both consented to it, the whole plan was settled down.

In the following days, Lu Yao woke up early to practice martial arts in the morning before going to school. As the college entrance examination was around the corner, everyone got anxious.

Ever since they won the last basketball match, Han Dong was so pleased that he hardly went to practice playing basketball, except he occasionally went to watch matches for a couple of minutes as his focus was on his study.

Lu Yiqian got busier, too. Even though Lu Yao had no idea what Lu Yiqian was busy with, he didn't bother to ask as he found his godfather was much happier than before.

What embarrassed Lu Yao was that the frequent interaction between he and Lin Jiayi stopped since he got Lin Jiayi's note. Except the daily routine of greeting each other, it seemed Lin Jiayi became the "Ice Queen" again.

Lu Yao wanted to ask her about it several times, but he just gave up after deliberation.

Since Lu Yao had to look into the pubs in the charge of g**g of the South every night, he couldn't practice for long at the martial arts school.

But he was clever enough to get the hang of the basic combat skills in a period of practice.

Even if Lu Yao didn't use Tuiyun Hand or Poti Fist, he could still beat Buick in the competition by finding good positions and using action techniques.

Given what Wang Ping had gathered these days, Bao Tianyi would take his lackeys to Night Bar and play for over two hours before taking Sister Hua, boss of Night Bar, back to their dwelling.

Lu Yao thought he was capable of handling those gangsters, so he decided to enter Night Bar with Wang Ping and others' help to meet the boss of g**g of the South.
