Chapter 155: Pull One Hair, Move The Whole Body
Other methods certainly existed, but no matter what, they couldn't escape the most crucial point.
That was to give Su Tao a new spiritual anchor.
To allow her to forget the pain caused by Chi Xiaocheng's death, by focusing on something new.
For ordinary people, such a spiritual anchor could be family affection, a woman, money, or even fishing – anything they liked.
But for Su Tao, Professor Su believed a targeted approach was necessary.
She thought for a long time before looking at Dongfang Yang. "Young Dongfang," she said, "considering the deep bond between Miss Su and Miss Chi, I believe you would be the best candidate to become her new spiritual anchor."
"Me?"
Dongfang Yang stared blankly at Professor Su.
Their bond was deeper than that of blood sisters, and you want me to be Su Tao's spiritual anchor?
Do you mean I should dress as a woman and become Su Tao's younger sister?
Oh no, perhaps an older sister?
That can't be right. I do have some feelings for Su Tao, but I don't want to be her sister!
Professor Su saw the blank look on Dongfang Yang's face and knew he was misunderstanding.
She reached out and lightly tapped his head, saying exasperatedly, "I mean for you to pursue Su Tao, to become someone she likes."
"This..."
Dongfang Yang hesitated.
Professor Su said, "I know what you're thinking, but I'm doing this for Miss Su's own good. Miss Chi's departure is too great a blow for her. In extreme cases, I truly believe she might refuse treatment."
"She might even consider suicide, to join Miss Chi."
"Don't you like Miss Su? She needs support right now. On the one hand, you are sincere towards her, and on the other, it would be saving her."
Dongfang Yang closed his eyes and sighed. "Professor, I understand your intentions, but I can't take advantage of her vulnerability."
Professor Su was furious. "You brat..."
Just as she raised her hand, she heard Dongfang Yang ask again, "Professor, do you know what a 'white moonlight' is?"
Professor Su suddenly froze, then after a moment of silence, slowly nodded.
Dongfang Yang sighed. "Before, I didn't truly understand what 'white moonlight' meant. I'd only seen the term in novels or comics. But the first time I met Su Tao, I understood clearly."
"She was the 'white moonlight' girl often mentioned in novels."
"Of course, that was for me."
"So, who is Su Tao's 'white moonlight'?"
Dongfang Yang looked towards the operating room. The answer was right there in his sight.
"I understand your meaning, Professor. You want me to pursue Su Tao, to fill the void in her heart during this time and become her new spiritual anchor."
"But have you considered that I've known Su Tao for, at most, half a year? What about Chi Xiaocheng? She and Su Tao grew up together."
Dongfang Yang leaned back in his chair, spreading his hands and sighing. "How can my mere half-year acquaintance ever compare to Chi Xiaocheng's more than a decade of companionship?"
"Besides," Dongfang Yang's tone shifted, becoming confident and resolute. "I am Dongfang Yang. I am myself. I will pursue my affections on my own terms, someday. You want me to be Chi Xiaocheng's replacement?"
"How is that any different from denying Chi Xiaocheng's existence, from erasing her trace in this world!"
With that, Dongfang Yang stood up. "In short, Su Tao just needs a spiritual anchor, right?"
Professor Su nodded blankly. "Time will soften everything."
Dongfang Yang's gaze suddenly turned cold. "Professor, the anchor for living doesn't always have to be love or money. It can also be... hatred!"
This matter isn't over yet!
He took long strides, walking quickly towards the hospital exit, simultaneously picking up his phone. "Hello, Si Chen? Have you found out who did it?"
"We found out."
From the other end of the phone came two cold words.
—Ye Liang.
...
Meanwhile, Ye Liang, who was staying in another hospital, listened to his subordinate's report, and his already ferocious face twisted into a beastly laugh.
"Hahahaha! Good riddance! That little wretch is finally gone!"
Ye Liang truly hated Chi Xiaocheng to death.
If it weren't for that person, he would have long ago captured Su Tao's heart. With the beauty in his arms, he could also gain the power of her formidable backer – it was simply irresistible.
Even if he met a better woman someday, he could use Su Tao and then kick her aside.
But who would have thought that months of effort would be ruined by Chi Xiaocheng, someone he completely looked down on!
Good riddance!
Ye Liang looked at Lin Fangya beside him and gave her a thumbs-up. "You did well! I thought you just suggested Chen Qian's method to poison both of them. I didn't realize you had a backup plan!"
Lin Fangya chuckled. "I just put out a 1-million-yuan bounty on the dark web to test it out. I didn't expect any fool to actually take it, and I was even more surprised it succeeded."
Both of them were very happy, but another person nearby wore a displeased expression.
Xiao Ming, fiddling with his usual deck of poker cards, said unhappily, "We agreed to only kill Chi Xiaocheng, didn't we? Why am I hearing that the bullet almost hit Su Tao? The basis of our cooperation is not to harm Su Tao!"
"You useless trash, do you even have the face to speak? What good are you?" Ye Liang showed Xiao Ming no courtesy, instantly retorting.
Xiao Ming immediately grew irritated. He slapped the table. "I am the Dragon King! Say that again, I dare you?"
Ye Liang coldly spat on the floor. "Useless, if you had contributed even a little to the plan, would I need to resort to this?"
Xiao Ming's eyes suddenly turned cold.
But after thinking of something, he still clenched his fists and stormed out of the ward.
Ye Liang was indifferent to this. He looked at Lin Fangya and said, "What's happening with Chen Qian? And Su Tao, she must be eliminated!"
Killing just one Chi Xiaocheng wasn't enough.
After all, Chi Xiaocheng was just a small nuisance. The one who truly made Ye Liang uneasy was Su Tao.
If she wasn't eliminated and all traces covered up before her father returned, then the troubles afterward would surely be endless.
Lin Fangya said, "Chen Qian says she can't find an opportunity. Su Tao stays with Chi Xiaocheng every day now and doesn't even return to her dorm."
"Chen Qian is also useless!" Ye Liang said. "Tell her to visit the sick Su Tao, and then prepare a poisoned apple or something for Su Tao to eat. If she can't even do something so simple, does she deserve to say she likes me?"
Lin Fangya nodded gently. "However, Si Chen has been investigating us. It will be difficult to make a move against Su Tao next."
Ye Liang fell silent. He truly couldn't spare any men. After the recent escalation, it was hard to operate with just money.
After much hesitation, his eyes hardened. "Cancel all development and entry into Litchi City. Pull all the men from Litchi City back here!"
He had always wanted to open up the underground industry market in Litchi City.
However, he was constantly harassed by local gangs, progress was slow, and there were even signs of retreat at one point.
Since that was the case, he would bring everyone back to Jiuzhou City.
"I want to see how Si Chen will protect Su Tao once my men are back!"
Ye Liang's gaze grew even more vicious, and his decision became firmer.
Unbeknownst to him, during the time he was making his moves, a phone call was also made to Chi Song in Litchi City.
Chi Song, still expanding territory for Brother Long, lit a cigarette, standing in the snow. His thick, strong single arm brushed a snowflake from his shoulder.
He answered the call. "Hello, who's this?"
"Is this Chi Song? This is Si Chen." A rational and cold voice came from the phone. "I'm the one who has been providing you with information on the Ye family, representing the Si family. Now I have another piece of news, and I need you to bring your men back to Jiuzhou City."
Chi Song frowned. "What news?"
Si Chen: "Chi Xiaocheng is dead."
