Chapter 60: Plans
Wei Jun was worried that Zhao Hui would recognize his car but as it seemed, Zhao Hui was focused on something else entirely which gave Wei Jun enough time to make a paper trail of selling his car overseas.
Right now, Wei Jun faced many difficulties and one of such difficulties was the person behind his assault last night. He wanted to dig deeper but he knew he couldn't be too provocative. His biggest headache was the situation with Lin Ruan.
Upon reading the ridiculous novel last night, Wei Jun filtered the necessary information and the information regarding Lin Ruan was very simple.
The matter of inheritance. In the novel, the original Wei Jun was an inferiority complex scumbag who when noticed that his rightful inheritance was being given to Lin Ruan, an adopted child, Wei Jun ordered an assassination of her.
Of course, the hero somehow just happened to be there and saved her. To express her gratitude, Lin Ruan introduced Run Long to the right people which began their relationship from business to finally lovers when they both figured out who had instigated the attack on Lin Ruan.
Then they would plan revenge and finally, during their revenge, Run Long would end up discovering that Lin Ruan was more than just an ordinary cultivator, and then their spicy adventure would begin.
'I kind of understand why you have those unethical things in the system shop.' Wei Jun commented.
[See?]
[It's the host that is wired]
'I just don't logically see how sleeping with a girl can raise one's power.' Wei Jun argued.
[Dual cultivation is an entire plot and the backbone of cultivation in the Wuxia novels, host]
'I don't know what this 'Wuxia' is and I won't even begin to make an effort to understand.' Wei Jun dismissed the issue once he knew the root of the cause. All he needed to do was to not order an attack on Lin Ruan and to break the connection between Lin Ruan and Run Long, all he needed to do was to pit them against each other.
If in the novel, Lin Ruan was the one who helped Run Long start the business, then in this reality, she would be against him.
When he was planning everything, his cellphone rang and he checked who it was and the caller ID read, "Liu Yu."
"Oh, there's her too." Wei Jun now finally understood what kind of role Liu Yu had in the novel after reading the second volume where Run Long becomes influential; enough to get in contact with Liu Yu.
Wei Jun declined the call as he formulated a plan for her as well. So far she had only proven herself to be a headache but not enough for her to die. Still, Wei Jun had a suspicion about her, there was a chance she was the one to hire his assailants from last night. After all, the Yu family had a good standing in the government sector instead of the business area.
"You called for me, young master?" Lao Chen entered and asked.
"Ready papers for my favorite car to be sold." Wei Jun simply instructed.
"Pardon? I don't understand." Lao Chen expressed his confusion.
"I didn't like it so I sold it but I didn't sell it legally so I need papers for that when the government demands a report for my income for everything." Wei Jun explained his instructions. Lao Chen was taken aback by the ridiculous excuse but he didn't follow up on that.
"Understood, young master." Saying so Lao Chen left the room. Wei Jun called Li Wei Who answered and said, "Boss! I was just about to call you. There's a problem."
"What?" Wei Jun asked.
"The police have applied for a warrant and the D.A. has approved it." Li Wei replied.
"Why?" Wei Jun asked.
"That's because someone from the high seat interfered and impacted the decision." Li Wei replied.
"Who?" Wei Jun asked.
"The Tian family, the mayor and…" She hesitated on the last name because she was unsure of the assumption that it could make her boss angry.
"What is it?" Wei Jun asked, indicating her to continue.
"… Your fiancée. Liu Yu of the Yu family asked her uncle to push forward with the warrant." Li Wei answered finally expecting a shocked statement from her boss but she was shocked herself when she heard a nonchalant, "That's it?"
"Eh…" For a moment she was taken aback and didn't know how to reply to that other than, "…Yes. That's it."
"Good." Wei Jun replied before he added his instructions, "You know what to do with the police. You have their data. As for the D.A., well, if there's nothing, we can simply create it but try to dig because I'm sure there is something we can pin the D.A. with. Focus on the one representing against me." Wei Jun instructed which was noticed by Li Wei who replied with a "Yes, boss."
The call ended and Wei Jun leaned back in his chair. Given that the warrant was just approved by the D.A., a judge also needed to approve it and a judge couldn't do so after five so they would need to do so until the next day after all, Wei Jun wasn't a criminal yet, only under suspicion.
"Enough time to prepare." Wei Jun mumbled and just at the time, the door opened and Lao Chen entered, "Your instructions have been carried out, young master."
Wei Jun nodded and slumped back in his chair while he instructed, "Cancel tomorrow's shooting. Give the actors a day off for outings or whatever they want. Try to stay with them."
"But what about you, young master?" Lao Chen asked. Lao Chen's main task was to be the bodyguard of Wei Jun. He didn't really care about the others. Wei Jun smiled and said, "I will be spending tonight outside."
Saying so, Wei Jun took out his phone and called Li Wei once again, "Geo locate the phones of the following people."
=====
"Hahaha! You don't have to worry about anything, young master Tian. I have everything ready. I will sign the papers tomorrow and he will be arrested." A man with a pot belly said while laughing with a whisky glass in his hand.
Yao Tian nodded with a smile and replied, "I don't doubt your wisdom and judgment, Judge Yong."
"Hahaha! Of course. A cruel man like Wei Jun Ruan should be behind bars and paying for his crimes." Judge Yong said, agreeing with Yao Tian.
"And how is the evidence coming along, Chief Tao?" Yao Tian asked another man in the room.
"It was difficult because the detective who examined the crime scenes was very involved but do not worry, proper evidence has been planted, and even the god won't be able to change the outcome of this case." Chief Tao replied with a smile on his face.
Due to Zhao Hui's involvement, planting evidence was very difficult but it was solved once he was taken off the case.
"That's good. I can trust you, Chief Tao. And remember, the mayor specifically asked for a life sentence so try to get multiple of them. Charge Wei Jun Ruan with whatever you can, even cases that have been closed because of no evidence. Try and plant his involvement in them and make it so that not even the emperor himself can save him." Yao Tian said with a subtle anger in his eyes.
He had lost too much because of Wei Jun but luckily for him, Wei Jun showed up at the party of the Na family, not only offending the Tian family patriarch but many other families along with many officials including the mayor.
Now that Yao Tian had the full support of his father and many resources at his disposal, he was sure there was no way Wei Jun was getting out of this easily even with his status.
"And what about the Yu family? Have their patriarch also agreed?" Chief Tao asked.
"No, the patriarch dismissed the idea because he's a coward. He's worried about Sun Ruan but at least that bi*ch, Liu Yu has some sense and convinced her uncle to help us." Yao Tian replied.
"Hahaha! That arrogant little lass does need to be reminded of her place." Judge Yong said with a strong laugh.
"She does but right now, we need her. One we won't, then we can have our fun with her." Yao Tian agreed with the fat man and replied.
"If you don't mind me asking, young master Tian, have you also prepared a contingency for Sun Ruan?" Chief Tao asked reluctantly. Although they had just called the patriarch of the Yu family a coward for being afraid of Sun Ruan, it was an underlying fact that Sun Ruan was the strongest cultivator in Yuan Yin City.
"Haha… don't you worry, Chief Tao. I have made a new friend whose master is at the peak of {Qi Master}. Sun Ruan won't be able to do anything when we also have a strong person on our side." Yao Tian culled Chief Tao's worries with a smile.
