Reborn as the spoiled male wife of the mortal enemy

Chapter 201 Provocation



Chapter 201 Provocation

The news of Li Cheng becoming a eunuch spread throughout Yangcheng.

It was even made into a joke and circulated on the streets.

Li Baiwan smoked silently, his anger reaching its peak.

"Jinyang, dispatch troops to Jincheng immediately! I will make the Bai family pay for their blood debt with blood!"

Chen Jinyang knew that the Marshal was angry because of the young master's affairs and the Sheng family's affairs.

But the water in Yangcheng is so deep!

Marshal Li could show off his power in Ancheng, but in Yangcheng, he was completely outnumbered. He was unfamiliar with the place, had no backers, and no thorough plan.

Just mobilize a large number of troops to attack the Bai family?

Isn't this a joke?

Chen Jinyang said, "General, the Bai family is guilty and must be ready to fight the enemy. If we attack them rashly, we will have no chance of winning."

Marshal Li looked at him and asked, "Then what should we do?"

Chen Jinyang said, "Young Master Bai and Young Master Bai are both in Yangcheng now. The defenses of the Bai family's old house are lax right now, so this is a good opportunity to attack! We should hurry back to Ancheng and take our men to attack the Bai Family Stronghold."

Zhu Haitao frowned slightly, "General, the news of the young master's injury has spread like wildfire. People are saying that our Li family's soldiers are weaklings! If we just leave in disgrace like this, how can we save our reputation?"

Li Baiwan crushed the cigar in his hand and said with gritted teeth, "I can't retreat! If I retreat this time, I, Li Baiwan, will never have the face to come to Yangcheng again!"

"Marshal, this..." Chen Jinyang was a little anxious.

"Okay, stop talking. Haibo, you will be fully responsible for the troop deployment!" said Marshal Li.

"Yes, Marshal."

"Jinyang, please go down. I want to talk to Haibo about something."

Chen Jinyang had no choice but to agree and went out.

"How's the investigation going for me?" Li Baiwan asked.

"Marshal, I did find out some things." He saw that Li Baiwan had an ugly face and was hesitant to speak.

Li Baiwan narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Go on."

"Well, I found out that Lieutenant Chen and his wife had visited Baiyuan before."

Li Baiwan suddenly sat up and asked, "When?"

"After we damaged the raw silk in the Sun family's warehouse, the second young master Bai was still in Yangcheng. After Lieutenant Chen and his wife went to Baiyuan, the second young master Bai left Yangcheng and went to Jincheng to meet the fourth master." Zhu Haibo said.

Li Baiwan frowned, "Mrs. Jinyang is a relative of the Bai family, so it's normal for them to visit."

Zhu Haibo continued, "But... when Lieutenant Chen went to Baiyuan, Boss Sun brought some food and wine to the brothers, saying they wanted to reward them for their hard work. Boss Sun also said Lieutenant Chen was attending a party and wouldn't be coming tonight. Even Lieutenant Chen's own people didn't know where he was going, so how did Boss Sun know Lieutenant Chen had gone to Baiyuan so early?"

Li Baiwan's heart sank.

"I was afraid of wrongly accusing Lieutenant Chen, so I bribed a worker in Sun Changfu's factory. The man said that it was indeed the raw silk that was delivered from outside on the night Lieutenant Chen went to Baiyuan." Zhu Haibo said.

Li Baiwan's face looked extremely ugly.

Regarding the Fuyuanji incident, he thought there was a traitor and also suspected Chen Jinyang.

But when the facts were right in front of him, he still couldn't believe it.

Chen Jinyang and he are brothers who have shared life and death together!

"Marshal, regarding the attack on the young master this time, I also suspect it has something to do with Lieutenant Chen." Zhu Haibo said with his eyes rolling.

"What? Explain clearly!"

Zhu Haibo said hurriedly, "According to the young master of the Zhang family, Master Bai rushed to his house with his men while he was still hungover. How could the Bai family get the news so quickly? The only ones who knew the young master's specific plan were Master Zhang and Master Sheng San. There was no way they would reveal it to the Bai family.

I was completely baffled, but after careful investigation, I discovered that Lieutenant Chen, who had lent the young master his men, also knew that he was going to rob someone. And, as luck would have it, the men Lieutenant Chen had lent to the young master had all previously carried out the mission of monitoring the Fuyuanji factory.

If I hadn't been quick-witted and gone to the remaining people to ask about Fuyuanji, they might have died in the next few days! Furthermore, Chen Jinyang's wife, knowing full well that the Bai family had a grudge against you, went to the Bai's Trading Company these past two days. She left the trading company carrying large and small bags. Marshal, I'm not trying to doubt Lieutenant Chen, but these things are just too coincidental!

Marshal Li's eyes were bloodshot and his raging anger almost engulfed him.

"Chen Jinyang! He...he actually dared to do this to me!"

Zhu Haibo was secretly delighted and said hurriedly, "Marshal, Lieutenant Chen was just trying to stop you from sending troops here. It seems he has completely sided with the Bai family! We absolutely cannot keep such a traitor here!"

Marshal Li's chest was heaving violently and his face was ashen.

"Immediately send people to Ancheng to mobilize troops! Let's not mention Chen Jinyang for the time being and don't alert the enemy. Some of his subordinates are very close to him and call him brothers. Without solid evidence in front of them, they will certainly not believe it. Moreover, the war is imminent and we cannot let this shake the morale of the army." Marshal Li said in a deep voice.

Zhu Haibo frowned slightly: "But... if we keep him, he will definitely find ways to ruin our plans."

Marshal Li thought for a moment and said, "Once the troops arrive, let him lead them to attack the Bai family. If he can be ruthless enough to kill the Bai family, I can let bygones be bygones.

If he can't do it or is secretly helping the Bai family, then the fact of his betrayal will be exposed to everyone, and I will be justified in dealing with him."

Having said that, although Zhu Haibo was anxious to get rid of Chen Jinyang, he couldn't say anything more.

Nothing is too much or too little.

After leaving Marshal Li, Zhu Haibo came up with a plan.

In the evening, he took his two brothers to Happy City.

Chen Jinyang comes here almost every day recently. I heard that he is having a hot affair with that socialite Lan Xiaodie.

After three rounds of drinks, Zhu Haibo finally saw Chen Jinyang coming.

After he came in, he looked around and then his eyes fell on them.

Zhu Haibo poured a glass of wine for Lan Xiaodie beside him with a smile on his face.

"Oh, Lieutenant Chen is here! Unfortunately, I have guests now. I will dance with you later." Lan Xiaodie said with a smile.

Chen Jinyang's expression was not very good. He gave Zhu Haibo a fake smile and said, "Didn't Adjutant Zhu dislike this kind of occasion in the past? Why are you in the mood today?"

Zhu Haibo smiled and said, "I often hear the brothers mention Miss Xiaodie, and I have wanted to come and see her for a long time. But the Marshal can't leave me without him, so I have never been able to find time."

"Yes, the person the Marshal trusts the most is you, Adjutant Zhu. Lately, you have been busy following the Marshal around, and it's really hard work." Someone on the side echoed.

Zhu Haibo said proudly, "I've been with the Marshal for almost twenty years. If he doesn't trust me, who can he trust? Lieutenant Chen, if you don't mind, come sit with me! I'm in a good mood today, I'll buy you a couple of drinks."
