Dating My Scumbag Ex's Uncle

Chapter 435: Master Three

Translator: Lonelytree

I sent Lin Ran a message, telling him not to come over and wait for us to go back to China. I sat down beside Jing Tian.

“Jing Tian, tell me about Tong Yan. I need to know my enemy to defeat them.” I said with a heavy heart.

Jing Tian turned around and touched my head. “You want to know how I got poisoned?”

I sniffled and didn’t deny it.

Jing Tian put down his computer and leaned against the headboard of the bed with me.

“Nanxing, did you notice something weird?” Jing Tian tapped my hands.

“What is it?” I looked at his handsome profile.

“Of the Seven Brothers, you know six of them.” Jing Tian pointed out.

I widened my eyes and went through the list in my mind. Shi Li, Gu Zhao, Tong Le, Wei Peng, Gu Nian, Jing Tian, so who was Master Three?

Jing Tian nodded. “He has never shown himself before. He is so secluded that many people forget about him. However, his seclusion doesn’t mean that he doesn’t exist. Tong Le and I believe the mastermind behind this is him. It can only be him. They wanted me to take down the government websites of several countries. They are very ambitious.”

I was confused. “Isn’t the Seven Brothers ranked by their strength and not age? That’s why my little uncle has ranked ahead of Master Wei Wu and Master Gu Liu, even though he’s younger. But this mastermind is so much more powerful than Master Gu Er and Shi Li. Why is he only ranked third?”

Jing Tian rubbed my head. “Because when he rose to power, Shi Li and Gu Zhao already took the top two places. He wasn’t that powerful back then. He left behind a legend before he disappeared into seclusion.

“Even though he doesn’t show up, his forces exist in the underworld. They will only show themselves at the most crucial moment. Thankfully, Master Three’s business doesn’t conflict with the rest of us. He is an arms dealer. He travels between war-torn countries and is different from the rest of us.”

So that was why.

Jing Tian continued, “Tong Le had some dealings with him in the past. It’s very complicated. When I founded the Ardent Flame Alliance, Master Three had already left China. I had never dealt with him before.”

“Then, how can you tell the mastermind is Master Three?” I didn’t understand.

Jing Tian shook his head. “I can’t. It was Tong Le who did. The Tong Family had a deep foundation. Tong Le took over the Tong Family at a very young age. The seniors in the underworld gave him face. When he just started, he was a man with nothing to lose. Because of that, many people were afraid of him. But many families also survived because of him.

“One of them was Tong Lin’s family. Since the Yan Family had helped the Tong Family in the past, Tong Le didn’t take revenge on them. Tong Le also didn’t say anything when Tong Yu’s descendants decided to take the Tong surname. However, Tong Le had no idea this was all arranged by Master Three. And Tong Yu’s descendants were all taken in by Master Three.”

Jing Tian sighed.

I was dissatisfied. “This is little uncle’s fault for being so sentimental. He keeps shooting himself in the foot. I get it now. It was Master Three who was backing Tong Lin when he kidnapped me. No wonder he was so fearless.

“After they were captured, little uncle let them go just like that.. Now, this is just perfect. They had found his weakness and sent out this Tong Yan! This is all his fault! I’ll not let him intervene this time! I will eradicate them! They covet my parent’s treasure and my man, so they are unforgivable!”
