"Chen Chong's death is a little strange."
In the study, Ah Si's expression was grave. His gaze fell hesitantly on Ye Shiguan's face.
"Mm." Ye Shiguan was expressionless as he sat quietly in his chair, but a strange light flickered in his eyes.
Yes.
Ah Si was not the only one who found it strange. Even the strategist Ye Shiguan could not understand why Chen Chong would be killed at this time.
Too early.
Too fast.
In the last few days, Ye Shiguan had been coordinating with Li Mubai's plan. Even if everything he had done was just to appease Li Mubai. But he had been doing it. And he had done it so flawlessly that no one doubted his sincerity.
But in just seven days, just as the curtains had begun, the battle had come to an abrupt end —
Who had killed Chen Chong?
Even at this moment, Ye Shiguan could not help but ask this question.
He truly did not believe that Li Mubai had made preparations, nor had he expected that Li Mubai would assassinate Chen Chong at this time.
Then — was it Li Mubai's doing?
He knew that at this moment, there was no answer to this question. Li Mubai had tacitly acknowledged Chen Chong's death, but he had not sent any message to the public that he had done it. Moreover, with Li Mubai's intelligence, there was no need for him to act so early.
Thus, Chen Chong's death was least likely to have been Li Mubai's doing, and it was also most likely. And Chen Chong, as the person involved, would never answer. Thus, for Ye Shiguan, there was no answer to this question, at least not in the short term.
"Li Mubai is too cunning." After Ah Si finished his evaluation, he seemed to feel that this evaluation was not enough to fully evaluate Li Mubai. He added, "And too stupid."
Hearing this, Ye Shiguan raised his head slightly and smiled. "You also think he's stupid?"
Ah Si nodded. "He is indeed very stupid."
"Then do you think Li Mubai is such a stupid person?" Ye Shiguan asked.
Ah Si couldn't help but be stunned when he heard that.
After a moment of silence, he raised his head and looked at Ye Shiguan. "You think … he didn't kill him?"
"Except for Li Mubai, no one can answer this question with 100% certainty." Ye Shiguan lit a cigarette and said slowly. "Perhaps he was worried that I would trip him up in his fight with Chen Chong, so he decided to end the battle quickly. Or perhaps, he really didn't want to wait any longer. In the face of power that was at his fingertips, not everyone had such great willpower and didn't panic. After all, we are just bystanders, and the people involved in the game are always less clear-headed than the bystanders. You think it's stupid, but he might not think so. "
Ah Si nodded lightly. "Indeed, with Chen Chong's death, the Zhao family has no one left. As long as Li Mubai moves fast enough, he will have a chance to stabilize the situation, gain a foothold, and become the new master of the Zhao family. "
Ye Shiguan said lightly, "So only he has the answer."
"But he will never answer," Ah Si said.
Ye Shiguan nodded lightly. "Regardless of whether he will answer or not, tonight is too important to him."
Ah Si's expression turned solemn as he abruptly raised his head and asked, "You mean —"
"He will definitely make a move tonight." Ye Shiguan narrowed his eyes. "Regardless of whether he did it or not, everyone thinks that he did it. So even if he didn't do it, it can only be him. "
"He has already been heartless once, why would he care about a second or third time?" Ye Shiguan muttered. "Tonight, the Zhao family will be in chaos."
"Then we —" Ah Si's pupils contracted. It was extremely cold.
"No hurry." Ye Shiguan shook his head.
Ye Shiguan was not in a hurry, but Ah Si was.
If everything went smoothly, tonight might be the best time for Ye Shiguan to reach the top! Ye Shiguan would be the fisherman in the Zhao family's internal strife. Wasn't this a heaven-sent opportunity?
"Boss. According to your orders, we have pretended to cooperate with Li Mubai's actions. On the other hand, we have completed our plans for the Zhao family. As long as you give the order, we will move in full force. We will completely topple the Zhao family. "Ah Si's eyes lit up. "On that day, Pearl Tower will be your stage alone. No one will be able to compete with you! "
"How tempting." Ye Shiguan's eyes flashed, but his lips curved in a subtle smile.
But in the end, he did not give any orders, only had Ah Si wait. Although Ah Si was confused by this order, Ye Shiguan did not give him any explanation.
Ah Si saw the situation before him, the situation that was laid out in front of everyone. But Ye Shiguan not only saw what was in front of him, but also what was behind him. He saw everything that had happened recently, as well as the strangeness behind it.
Why was it like this?
Why would Zhao Si Ye be assassinated at such a crucial moment? And fall unconscious? And the Zhao family had mobilized all of their forces, including all of Ye Shiguan's forces, but they had not found a single answer, not even a single clue?
Why would Li Mubai choose this time to assassinate Chen Chong? Why didn't he wait? As long as he was willing to wait, he would definitely not put himself in a situation where he had no way out.
Why didn't he wait?
Ye Shiguan could guess why Shen Manjun would give the Zhao family medallion to Li Mubai. He knew that Shen Manjun dared to give the Zhao family medallion, which symbolized the supreme power of the Zhao family, to Li Mubai because of Xiao Zheng's plan.
He did not deny that this move of Xiao Zheng's was very beautiful. While alleviating the enormous pressure on the Zhao family, he had turned their internal conflict into an external one, buying them enough time to recover.
But perhaps Xiao Zheng was the same. He had never expected that Chen Chong would die so quickly, so thoroughly?
Perhaps, at this moment, he was also thinking hard, thinking about why Chen Chong had died, why Li Mubai had killed him?
Chen Chong, Li Mubai, Shen Manjun, Xiao Zheng — these names flashed through Ye Shiguan's mind one by one. Ye Shiguan constantly analyzed each person's motives, and from their point of view, he considered his next move. He meticulously deduced each person's personality, and through their personality, he analyzed their actions. Finally, he lightly patted his head, a smile of sudden enlightenment appearing on his face.
Click.
Ye Shiguan lit the last cigarette in his pack. Even though the tip of his tongue was a little numb from smoking too much, what could be more joyous than figuring out everything?
He took a deep breath, then dialed the number of Ah Si, who had left not long ago.
When the phone was connected, Ye Shiguan gave a sonorous order, "Standby."
There was a long silence on the other side of the phone before Ah Si's spirited reply came, "Yes, Boss!"
After hanging up, Ye Shiguan's eyes shone with excitement. In a competitive tone, he muttered, "Xiao Zheng, have you thought it through?"
