Chapter 633: 636: Will You Catch, Or Should I?

“You’re too naïve,” said Gu Junzhu lightly, “Can’t you think of something that Ye Tao hasn’t thought of? She is currently making only a very easy demand on Beibei because she is trying to test Beibei’s influence in our eyes.”

“The way you treated Beibei in the past made Ye Tao unsure of Beibei’s importance in your eyes.”

“And me, she doesn’t understand me. She doesn’t know how deep my feelings for Beibei are, so she merely raised a low-hanging fruit.”

“But if we readily agree to her demand, she’ll know that Beibei matters a lot to us. The video she holds is a treasure. She can use it to gain a lot of benefits.”

“If she really does have the video, she’ll hide it even better, making it even harder for us to get our hands on.”

Gu Junzhu glanced at Ye Xingli, finally saying, “Agreeing to Ye Tao’s terms seems like the simplest solution, but it’s actually the most foolish one. Someone like Ye Tao, once she realises that the video can be exchanged for benefits, she won’t just give us the video after her terms are met. Instead, she’ll do everything in her power to hide the video better, in order to ensure her safety and to secure even more benefits in the future.”

“That sounds reasonable,” Ye Xingli scratched the back of his head, “For Ye Tao, the video is like the goose that lays the golden eggs. She certainly isn’t willing to give it back to us.”

He looked at Gu Junzhu, “So Fifth Brother, what’s your alternative plan?”

“Capture Ye Tao,” Gu Junzhu said coldly, “since our analysis seems to be leaning towards Ye Tao not having the video, why not just capture Ye Tao? We fight fire with fire, warning her that if she indeed has the video of Beibei, the moment it appears online, her video will also appear online.”

Ye Xingli: “…I think this is a viable plan! As long as Ye Tao isn’t crazy enough to want to bring Beibei down with her, this method will definitely work.”

He pondered, “From what I know about Ye Tao, she doesn’t have the guts. Even if she does have Beibei’s video, she wouldn’t have the courage to drag Beibei down with her.”

“Then let’s do it that way,” asked Gu Junzhu, “You capture her or should I?”

Without a moment’s hesitation, Ye Xingli said, “I’ll do it!”

Worried about Gu Junzhu beating him to the punch, he immediately ordered Zhen Qi and Zhen Chu to capture her.

Hearing that his arrangements were sound, Gu Junzhu remained silent, trusting in his utmost effort in avoiding startling the snake in the grass.

As soon as Ye Xingli hung up the call, he said, “Arrange a place right away, as soon as Ye Tao is captured, don’t waste a second. Start taping immediately, threaten her while taping, ask her as quickly as possible whether the video exists. If the video exists, ask her how she planned to release it online, then immediately counteract her. If she has accomplices, as long as we are fast enough, we can locate her accomplices before they even have a chance to react, and then solve them altogether!”

“That’s easy, the basement will do,” pausing for a second, Ye Xingli looked at Gu Junzhu, “Fifth Brother, I don’t trust others with this matter. Can we go and watch? If we keep our eyes on it, we will feel more secure.”

Given their status, it is not appropriate for them to be spectators in this kind of situation.

However, if they don’t watch it themselves, they worry there may be unforeseen circumstances that their subordinates can’t handle.
