Chapter 134: Young Master Yue and Iago
Chapter 134: Brother Ya
Yue Feiya’s bodyguard rushed him to the hospital, where he was put on an intravenous drip for the entire night. By the next day, he had finally recovered quite a bit. During this time, Vice-Governor Yue had called several times. Fumbling with his words, Yue Feiya claimed that he was fine and was just resting outside. Hearing his son say this, Yue Zusong let the matter rest.
Sitting up in his hospital bed, Yue Feiya was consumed by hatred. Dammit! He had clearly taken an anti-hangover pill, yet he still couldn’t outdrink that guy. It seemed that punk was utterly arrogant when it came to alcohol. Once he got the chance, he would definitely crush that bastard ruthlessly! Yue Feiya cursed viciously in his heart. Just at that moment, his cell phone rang.
Seeing that the call was from Wang Jian, Yue Feiya’s heart filled with joy. Wasn’t Wang Jian’s father the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau? He would surely be able to track down that punk's background, and then it would be easy to deal with him. Dammit! "Hey, Xiao Jian, what's up? Are you planning to treat me to dinner?"
"Yes, indeed! Where are you right now, Young Master Yue? I've been meaning to treat you to dinner for the longest time, but you're a man of noble status and busy schedules, so I never got the chance!" Wang Jian immediately fawned over him with a flattering smile. After all, Yue Feiya's father was a vice-governor, and what's more, he was expected to ascend to the position of executive vice-governor this year. If he could firmly grasp this connection, it would not only benefit his father but also play a significant role in his own future development.
"Hehe, what are you talking about? I'm right here in the provincial capital. If you're free, let's grab a casual meal this afternoon. My treat!" Yue Feiya said, putting on a generous front. Dammit, he needed someone's help right now; without bleeding a little money, how could he get someone to serve him heart and soul?
Upon hearing this, Wang Jian was instantly overjoyed. Dammit, his chance to shine had arrived! As long as he firmly grasped this connection, his father would soon receive another promotion. "What are you saying, Young Master Yue? Naturally, I should be the one showing respect to you. How could I let you go to the expense? Here's what we'll do: I'll go book a private room at the Imperial Hotel right away, and we can have a good drink this afternoon!"
"Hehe, Xiao Jian is too polite. Look at me, I've been calling you Xiao Jian—you should just call me Brother Ya directly. Don't keep saying 'Young Master Yue' this and 'Young Master Yue' that; it sounds too distant!" Yue Feiya said with a smile. In order to deal with that punk, he was going all out now. Moreover, when he remembered that the guy had also scammed one million yuan out of him, Yue Feiya felt as though a piece of flesh had been torn right from his heart.
"Ah? Oh, okay! Then Brother Ya, I'll go book the private room right now. Let's have a good chat this afternoon!" Wang Jian could hardly believe his ears. Dammit, he had actually managed to establish a connection with Young Master Yue now! Previously, although he had tried to curry favor with Young Master Yue many times, the latter had always been surrounded like the moon by stars and simply ignored him.
After hanging up the phone, Wang Jian immediately called the Imperial Hotel to reserve a private room while sharing this wonderful news with his father. Wang Jian’s father was no simple man; the moment he heard the news, he knew there must be some fishy business behind it. Otherwise, Yue Feiya wouldn't have so readily agreed to have dinner with his son, let alone propose addressing each other as brothers.
"Dad, don't worry! Brother Ya is a great guy. Once I cement my relationship with him and Brother Ya puts in a good word for you in front of Vice-Governor Yue, it will be immensely helpful for your political career," Wang Jian said proudly, as if Yue Zusong had already agreed to help his father.
"Well, that's true to some extent. Just be careful yourself. If Young Master Yue needs our help with anything, we must lend a hand as well. That way, we can better rope him in," Wang Wei, Wang Jian’s father, was no fool. In the bureau right now, there were three deputy directors; if he didn't find a powerful backer, he wouldn't be able to get anywhere at all.
"Dad, you just have to trust your son's abilities!" *Trust your abilities? I know exactly how much ability you have,* Wang Wei cursed inwardly. How could he not know what his son was like—always aiming too high while achieving nothing? Dammit, all ambition and no competence!
By the afternoon, having rested sufficiently, Yue Feiya arrived at the Imperial Hotel. Wang Jian hurried out personally to welcome him; an onlooker might have mistaken him for some high-ranking superior official. "Brother Ya, long time no see! You're looking more and more handsome by the day!" Wang Jian kept laying on the flattery.
"Hehe, Xiao Jian, your tongue gets smoother by the day, but I like it!" Hearing Wang Jian praise him like this, Yue Feiya felt warm and fuzzy inside. Dammit, just look at who he was—stamping his foot anywhere in the provincial capital could cause a minor earthquake.
Seeing the smile on Yue Feiya's face, Wang Jian knew his words had hit the mark. "Not at all, I'm just speaking the plain truth. With a man like Brother Ya, you only have to wave your hand, and all those beautiful starlets will throw themselves into your arms. Brother Ya's legendary reputation in the provincial capital is deafeningly famous!"
"Haha, that goes without saying! By the way, kid, have you hooked up with some celebrity beauty recently? You look thoroughly lovestruck!" Yue Feiya couldn't help casting a glance at Wang Jian. Dammit, among these young scions, which one didn't have those kinds of vices? Some even liked other men—truly a heavy and disgusting taste!
"Haha, it seems nothing can escape Brother Ya's discerning eyes! Recently, your younger brother here spent a bit of loose cash to open up the thighs of a minor starlet. Dammit, that little b*tch is really something!" Wang Jian said smugly. When he first pursued her, she put on an image of pure and innocent jade, but in the end, hadn't she still been cracked open by his money? Dammit!
"Tsk tsk, not bad at all. Oh right, Brother Ya might need your help with something later!" Yue Feiya said with a faint smile. Hearing him say this, Wang Jian felt a slight jolt in his heart. His old man had been spot-on: "I don't know what kind of situation Brother Ya has run into, but just give the word, and your younger brother is ready to go through fire and water for you!"
"Good, that's a real brother!" Yue Feiya reached out and draped an arm over Wang Jian's shoulder, looking extremely friendly and intimate. "Actually, it's no major crisis. I was just screwed over by some bastard yesterday, and I might need you to help me investigate that fellow. Dammit!"
"Such a minor matter! Brother Ya just has to give the orders. Investigating someone is very simple on my end; all Brother Ya needs to do is describe that bastard's physical features and characteristics," Wang Jian said with a smile. Technology was so advanced nowadays; tracking down a person or asking around was a breeze, taking mere minutes.
"Well, that punk's name is Ye Feng!" Yue Feiya said viciously. *Damn you! A gentleman takes revenge ten years later, but I'm going to crush you to death right now! Dammit, how dare you try to snatch a woman from me? Wang Meiling is a woman I've set my sights on, and nobody is allowed to harbor any ideas about her!* Thinking of what happened last night, Yue Feiya grew even more furious.
