268: Chapter 268 Kidnapping the Madam

Ouyang Yunzheng felt that this phone call to Arka was probably part of the other party's calculations.

He asked, "Mr. Arka, you mean for me to do it now?"

"That's right, Ouyang Yunzheng. Haven't you always wanted to dominate Shanghai? Now is your chance."

"Take Yezaki Insui with you and go kidnap Shangguan Lingwei immediately!"

Ouyang Yunzheng finally understood the entire process.

It turned out that Arka's contact with him and Yezaki Insui was fundamentally about targeting Shangguan Lingwei.

The explicit photos of him and Shangguan Lingwei had actually been taken secretly by this guy.

Then he deliberately gave the photos to Shangguan Lingwei and Saionji Sawa, invisibly creating a conflict between the two sides.

But Shangguan Lingwei had the Bi Lin Guards by her side, and Saionji Sawa's strength was also considerable.

To trigger a major war, a fuse was needed to make one side anxious.

Thus, Shangguan Lingwei's nephew, Shangguan Fei, became the patsy.

Arka commanded Yezaki Insui to stage an explosion, directly crippling Shangguan Lingwei's strongest combat force, the Bi Lin Guards.

Shangguan Lingwei finally couldn't sit still and decided to adopt Ouyang's plan for a night raid on Saionji Sawa.

Now, Saionji Sawa was left all alone, and the Japanese forces had nearly collapsed.

So, didn't that leave Shangguan Lingwei as the only remaining target?

However, Ouyang Yunzheng hesitated; was he really going to kidnap his godmother?

But Arka didn't care whether he was hesitating or not.

On the other side, Yezaki Insui had already received a secret order.

"Take this opportunity to deal with Shangguan Lingwei."

Yezaki Insui was somewhat dazed. "Me, kidnap Shangguan Lingwei? Are you crazy?"

But quickly, the person on the other end gave him a reason.

"If you're smart, you'll do it immediately. Shouldn't you be avenging your master right now?"

Yezaki Insui understood. To clear himself of the suspicion of being a mole, he indeed had to do something that aligned with common logic.

Yezaki Insui led his men, saying, "Let's go, follow me to intercept Shangguan Lingwei."

Meanwhile, Ouyang Yunzheng had also made his decision.

For now, he couldn't let his godmother fall into danger, even if in his heart, he desperately wanted to possess Shangguan Lingwei and dominate the entire Shanghai Bund.

But not right now.

If Saionji Sawa had died, that would have been fine. That was what Ouyang Yunzheng had originally considered.

But the problem was that Saionji Sawa wasn't dead! If Shangguan Lingwei went missing now, that Arka would inevitably hand the photos over to Lu Jinhong.

When that time came, he would be dead no matter what!

This Arka was simply too detestable! It turned out he was the one who had incited the disputes in Shanghai, making him an enemy of that Japanese woman.

Then the matter of Sato selling the toxic paper became clear as well. Such high-end foreign goods must have been brought in by this Arka.

Ouyang Yunzheng was truly vexed; he had actually been used as a tool.

He also blamed himself for being too eager for advancement, thinking that by teaming up to eliminate the Japanese, he and his godmother could slowly plot their next move.

Ouyang Yunzheng also gathered a few subordinates: "Quick, follow me to find Madam Shangguan!"

Meanwhile, Shangguan Lingwei had no idea she was currently the prize everyone was after.

She was riding in a top-tier business vehicle, traveling along the road.

Suddenly, two burly men blocked the path of Shangguan Lingwei's car, forcing it to a stop.

Shangguan Lingwei had been feeling quite exhausted and was starting to doze off.

Suddenly jolted awake, she cursed at the driver and bodyguards, "What are you doing? You can't even drive a car properly! Don't bother coming in tomorrow!"

"Madam, it's not that. There are people in front."

When Shangguan Lingwei looked, she was absolutely furious! They still had the nerve to come see her?

These two useless wastes!

That Ouyang had praised them as if they were legends, but now it seemed they were nothing more than two charlatans! They couldn't even deal with a single Japanese woman!

If nothing had happened to her Bi Lin Guards, why would it have been their turn to act!

On the opposite side of the car...

Demon Dog chuckled at Knell, "Brother, let me go. I definitely won't make a mistake this time."

Knell was speechless and helpless. "Make it quick! But whatever you do, don't let your lower half take control again! We still have to rely on this woman to provide us with a safe house!"

Demon Dog nodded, put on his Bone-Eating Claw, and charged forward with a howl.

Without the protection of the Bi Lin Guards, these bodyguards were no match for him, even though they could handle ordinary people.

Facing Demon Dog, they were simply like lambs to the slaughter.

Shangguan Lingwei's exquisite face was filled with terror.

"You—what do you want? I'm your employer! I'm a member of the Shangguan Family, the wife of Lu Jinhong!"

Demon Dog didn't care about any of that nonsense.

He only knew that this woman had said before she could protect them. This was crucial for the two assassins who were being chased by the police again.

Demon Dog chuckled and sat in the driver's seat of the business vehicle. Taking Shangguan Lingwei and Knell with him, he floored the accelerator and disappeared into the night.

Knell sat beside Shangguan Lingwei and spoke in as calm a tone as possible, "Madam, we failed tonight. I won't offer any excuses."

"We haven't come for you now because we want to hurt you! We just want you to continue providing us with a place to hide from the police."

Shangguan Lingwei's expression shifted between pale and flushed.

In fact, she really should thank these two assassins. Because at this moment, Yezaki Insui had already arrived at the scene with his men.

Looking at the several corpses on the ground, he thought to himself, "Did Ouyang beat me to it?"

But just then, Ouyang Yunzheng also arrived with a few people.

He roared, "Yezaki Insui! What have you done to Madam Shangguan?"

Yazaki looked completely bewildered. "I just got here too!"

Ouyang Yunzheng thought to himself, "Oh no, did Arka strike first?"

Meanwhile, in Beijing, the expression on Akasor's face was no longer as relaxed as before.

Sitting before him was a man wearing a Mystic Crow mask.

The man's voice was very raspy, which, combined with his outfit, was extremely eerie and sinister.

However, Arka seemed to find it unremarkable.

"Mr. Grim Raven, do you know those two experts in Shanghai?"

Grim Raven shook his head. "Mr. Arka, please forgive me. I do not."

Arka had a somewhat disappointed expression.

But after thinking for a moment, Grim Raven added, "However, based on my judgment, they should be from the Black List. And given the strength they've displayed, their rankings shouldn't be low."

"Especially the one whose characteristic is being skilled at pursuit; it's very likely the one ranked 13th, Demon Dog!"

Arka fell into deep thought.

"In your Black List, does the situation of two members forming an alliance occur?"

"Yes, Mr. Arka, it is very strange. That's why I couldn't give an accurate judgment at first."

"Mr. Grim Raven, has there been some kind of upheaval in the Black List recently?"

"I'm not sure. I'm not like Lucifer; I don't like forming cliques."

Although Grim Raven didn't say it explicitly, Arka could already hear that this guy was suggesting it might be Lucifer's doing.

Arka's phone rang again. It seemed he hadn't had a night like this in a long time, where the ringing almost never stopped.

He said to the No. 2 before him, "Mr. Grim Raven, I will consult you further regarding the Black List in a couple of days. For now, please stay at our embassy. No one will disturb you here."

Grim Raven nodded. "Then I'll leave Ambassador Arka to his business."

Arka picked up the phone. "What is it, Mr. Inshui? Have you still not found Shangguan Lingwei?"

"Mr. Arka, I don't know where that woman went. I suspect Ouyang is acting strangely! It might be his doing."

"It wasn't him; those two mysterious assassins did it. They've kidnapped Shangguan Lingwei."

"Mr. Arka, then what should we do?"

"You're no match for them. Set Shangguan Lingwei aside for now. When necessary, proceed according to the original plan. Give the photos to Lu Jinhong; he will break off with the Shangguan Family!"

"We'll cut off one of the Shangguan Family's arms first."
