Shi Lei waved his hands, “Brother Yu, let me recount it. Our relationship is quite messy. You want the Wei family dead. I want to save Wei Xingyue and you don’t want to make it hard for me. Are we all masochists? Honestly speaking, Brother Yu, is power and wealth really that important?”  

Yu Banzhi froze and he suddenly seemed melancholy. He picked up the wine glass silently and finished drinking the wine slowly.  

“Banzhi is unwilling to inherit the family’s traditions, which is already against filial piety. If Banzhi is incapable, fine. However, the opportunity is right before my eyes, so Banzhi will help with all his might.”  

“What about the Wei family? Do they have the ladder for the Yu family’s advancement for no reason?”  

Yu Banzhi shook his head, “The Wei family was only wealthy for half a generation and Wei Changqing should have known it when he picked this path. There are too many things he did that can’t be put out for the public to see. Without me, there will be someone else to drag the Wei family down. I understand this and so does Wei Changqing. I even told him that if he gives up everything and goes overseas, I will keep him safe. But Wei Changqing didn’t agree. He is ambitious and he said he will die while standing. Since he chose to die, I will grant it. It could end with a drama but since he doesn’t allow it, I have to make the drama come true. As soon as we fight, there is no way back.”  

Shi Lei remained silent for a long time and just like Yu Banzhi, he finished drinking the wine in his glass slowly.  

“What if you fail?” Shi Lei paused, “I mean, what if you took Wei Ye’s life and still can’t achieve your goal?”  

“Then my father will accept the fate.”  

The room was silent. Shi Lei and Yu Banzhi seemed to have lost the will to converse.  

After a long time, Yu Banzhi sighed deeply, “No matter what, the wheel is already rolling and it can’t be stopped. Wei Changqing and I are simply a pawn. We cannot leave until we are surrounded, trapped, and killed. Shi Lei, do you want to know why I came here to talk to Bai Yuan?”  

Shi Lei didn’t speak but looked at Yu Banzhi. Of course, he wanted to know. The conversation between Yu Banzhi and Bai Yuan was extremely confusing.  

“You should know that I spoke to Song Miaomiao’s father yesterday in Xixi. Of course, we are joining forces and Secretary Song is quite touched. He didn’t agree immediately but he knows that he’s already at the end. As soon as old sir Song passes away, there is no possibility of advancing further. There is no hope in the next generation and they’ve prepared to change the Song family. Hence, swallowing the Wei and taking away the majority of the benefits are the most appropriate ways for the Song family, so they won’t decline my offer. However, Bai Yuan is the most unstable pawn in the Song family. I came to him to give the Song family an excuse to get rid of him first. Perhaps Bai Yuan now feels like I’m a self-opinionated person who cannot be trusted. He won’t do anything for me. But whether he does anything or not, it’s already a fact that he contacted me privately. What I said must be done. Even if the executor isn’t him, he will be framed for it. When that happens, the Wei family will get rid of him before without needing the Song family to do it. Bai Yuan thought that the Song family won’t know that he had been contacting other forces and that he is truly a frog at the bottom of the well. Hence, although Secretary Song didn’t tell me, I understood what he meant. Hence, I came all the way here to get rid of the potential danger for him. An outsider who grew up outside the Song family eventually grew up to be a potential danger.”  

Shi Lei was astonished. When he was about to open his mouth, he suddenly realised that there were traps within Yu Banzhi’s words, just like how the Scepter tried to dig holes for him.  

Yu Banzhi didn’t specify anything but Shi Lei understood everything because he heard the conversation between him and Bai Yuan.  

Normally speaking, Shi Lei would have acted confused to what Yu Banzhi just said if Shi Lei didn’t know what Yu Banzhi and Bai Yuan talked about.  

Shi Lei pretended to be confused, “Brother Yu, what do you mean? Are you saying that you came to Runzhou for Vice Mayor because the Song family actually decided to give up on politics and change to the business industry? But because Bai Yuan knows the Song family’s secrets too much and he’s an unstable person, they needed to get rid of him first? I can understand this. But what do you mean when you said that Vice Mayor Bai thinks that you are an opinionated person and cannot be trusted in doing anything? Who’s stupid enough to think of you like that? He’s a vice mayor. How can he be so tasteless?”  

Yu Banzhi studied Shi Lei’s manner closely and Shi Lei didn’t know whether he noticed anything or not. Yu Banzhi sighed deeply, “You don’t need to know the details. I came to Runzhou for an act. After the New Year, there were going to be big news in Runzhou. After the New Year’s holiday, we were going to let them have one last good New Year. You’ll know then.”      

“Brother Yu, you said that you aren’t afraid of letting me know, but it makes me curious that you only told me half of the facts,” In fact, Shi Lei already knew what Yu Banzhi meant but he had to pretend to not understand.  

Yu Banzhi’s vision changed slightly and he smiled, “Wei Jingang committed a crime more than ten years ago. He was cruel enough to kill an entire family. What I’m doing is helping Runzhou’s police end this case and have Wei Jingang executed. Wei Changqing gave his son a good name. Wei Jingang, haha, jingang(1), an angry vajra indeed has immense power. However, if a metal’s patina doesn’t cover the small gaps between the lines, it is extremely fragile.”  

“Wei Xingyue’s older brother? More than ten years ago? Wasn’t he in his teenage years?”  

“Eighteen or nineteen. Wei Jingang is almost ten years older than Wei Xingyue,” Yu Banzhi tapped the armrest of the couch lightly, “In order to kill a beast, one must cut off its wings first.”  

Shi Lei sighed. A lawsuit involving lives meant that Wei Jingang had to die. He earned this himself and the family's deep grievance could finally be let go.

“Brother Yu, you told me this. Aren’t you afraid that I will tell Wei Ye so he can prepare for it??  

Yu Banzhi laughed, “This is an overt scheme. There is nothing I can’t tell you. All the schemes I use against the Wei family are overt. Even if Wei Changqing knows, he can only beg the people from above to stop me and not let me continue. No matter how much he prepares, he cannot change this.”  

“So whether you are trying to drag the Song family or other people in or not, it’s only to make sure that the Wei family have no chance of fighting back and to isolate the Wei so that no one would help them?”  

Yu Banzhi nodded, “You realised it.”  

“Realise your ass!” Shi Lei suddenly became agitated, “Then what’s the point of Wei Xingyue been in Dudu?! You are making us staying on opposite sides of the world, unable to contact each other!”  

“I’m only trying to pull people in right now. Nothing is set yet. The Wei family will definitely struggle against it and Wei Xingyue can only go and beg her godfather for help. However, her godfather is also watching me, checking how many people I can gather.”  

“If you don’t contact that many people, it’s not as strong as his worlds. If you gather more, how many people’s portions are the Wei family’s wealth going to be split amongst?” Shi Lei replied with disdain.  

Yu Banzhi laughed loudly and wildly. The gentleness from earlier was completely gone as he was like an unleashed insane person.  

Yu Banzhi’s eyes were filled with tears from laughter, “Who said that there is only the Wei family’s wealth? There’s mine too. Other than the ones under my name, I already ordered Yao Keji to organise all the others. They can be given out whenever needed.”  

Not knowing why, Shi Lei’s heart suddenly sank at Yu Banzhi’s words.

 

Jingang: God Vajra; it can also mean metal.
