After Xiao Zheng's detailed questioning, Little Ruth finally answered all of Xiao Zheng's doubts and explained the process of the Fox Hunt in detail.
In the end, it was just that the fat meat in Sophia's hands was too fat. Finally, it attracted the attention of the Skeleton Corps' desperadoes.
One was the North American region, and the other was the European region. Sophia controlled the economic lifelines of both regions at the same time. She controlled close to half of the underground operations of the Fox Hunt. Not to mention the Skeleton Corps, even Itō had been eyeing her for a long time.
Otherwise, why would the assassination attempt in Tokyo be so deranged as to kill Sophia?
Wasn't the saying 'an innocent man gets into trouble because of his wealth'?
Sophia used her extraordinary methods and powerful influence to rule the underground world of the Fox Hunt in the entire West. It could be said that she was half the king of the Fox Hunt. But when she was at the peak of her glory, she encountered the most difficult situation in her life. She became a mute who could not speak?
This was like a prince who had just ascended to the throne, but was subjected to castration. Anyone else would be depressed and unable to recover.
"Sir. This time, other than you, I am afraid there is no one else who can help boss, "Little Ruth said pitifully as she made a cup of coffee for Xiao Zheng and sat beside him.
Nika, who was sitting on the other side of Xiao Zheng, also said anxiously, "Sir. This time, we are depending on you. "
Xiao Zheng took a puff of his electronic cigarette and glanced at the two beautiful secretaries. His lips curled into a bitter smile, "Of course, I hope to help you solve your predicament."
Solve?
How to solve it?
Others might not know, but how could Xiao Zheng not know the power of the Skeleton Corps?
In South Africa, the Middle East, and even in countless troubled areas, the Skeleton Corps had tyrannical power. It was not a problem to say that it was an illegal force.
When Xiao Zheng was carrying out his mission, he did not have any direct contact with the Skeleton Corps. But as someone in the same line of work, how could he not know the terror of the Skeleton Corps?
It could even be said that the small team led by Xiao Zheng was not on the same level as the Skeleton Corps!
"What stage are we at now?" Xiao Zheng asked casually. "What is the Skeleton Corps doing?"
"The first batch of troops have already arrived in New York. He has already informed us, "Little Ruth said slowly. "Three days later, I hope to have an internal negotiation with us."
"Negotiate?" Xiao Zheng pursed his lips. "He wants to ask for your territory and share the cake, right?"
"You can understand it that way." Nika nodded and said rather angrily. "Why should we hand over the empire that we fought so hard for to him?"
"Has Sophia accepted the negotiation?" Xiao Zheng asked.
"This is a Hongmen Banquet!" Ruth said angrily. "Who doesn't know that the Skeleton Corps is engaged in the shady business of robbing houses? I'm afraid this so-called negotiation is not a proper conversation, is it? "
"You still haven't answered my question," Xiao Zheng said helplessly.
"We've asked the boss several times not to accept the negotiation," Ruth said with a sad expression. "But in the end, the boss still agreed."
"It's also unreasonable to refuse," Xiao Zheng shook his head and said. "Sophia is the person in charge of the fox hunt. So is the Skeleton Corps. If you refuse this time, it will be difficult to convince the masses, and it will also arouse the suspicion of others. It will affect your position in the fox hunt. "
"But if you go, won't the boss's life be in danger?" Ruth frowned and said. "This is too risky. Moreover, I heard that the big boss of the Skeleton Corps will personally go. This person is a vicious and cruel person. We have to be careful. "
"They really think that Sophia is a pushover." Xiao Zheng's lips curled into a meaningful smile. "They actually sent a large force to negotiate. Aren't they afraid that they won't return? "
"If it was before, we would certainly believe in the boss's ability. However, during this period of time, the boss no longer cared about anything. We are very worried that the boss can't get through this. "Ruth and Nika looked at Xiao Zheng at the same time. Their eyes revealed a pleading look.
Xiao Zheng put away his electronic cigarette, finished the coffee in his cup, and stood up: "I'll go up and see her."
"Right now, only you can persuade the boss — —" The two watched as Xiao Zheng went upstairs, not daring to disturb Xiao Zheng's time alone with Sophia.
Without needing anyone to lead the way, Xiao Zheng was able to easily find Sofia's room. It was also the largest bedroom in the entire villa. It was almost a hundred square meters, ridiculously large, and excessively luxurious.
Going upstairs, he lightly pushed open the door.
The room was pitch black. But there was a faint fragrance. He could smell a familiar fragrance in his nose. It was a smell that belonged exclusively to Sophia.
This smart and powerful woman, from the beginning, Xiao Zheng rejected her, to politely declined her, and now he felt pity and heartache. It was hard to describe the relationship between them. But at least one thing was certain, when Sophia was in trouble, Xiao Zheng would not just stand by and watch.
Putting aside all personal reasons, Xiao Zheng truly owed her his life.
Walking slowly to the bedside, there was a light and slightly disorderly breathing sound on the bed. With the gentle moonlight, Xiao Zheng could clearly see Sophia's exquisite and deep face. She had the elegance of an Asian, and the dignity of a Westerner. She was like a work of art carved by God, flawless.
Her brows were slightly furrowed, and her face had lost its usual confidence and vigor. It should be noted that from the first time Xiao Zheng met her, this woman had gone deep into the tiger's den and controlled every detail of the assassination of Fox Hunting's founder, Jones. She even planned Xiao Zheng's escape route very well. A woman, a woman about the same age as him, who was powerless. But she could put on such a good show and eliminate the greatest enemy in her life. She also profited from this assassination and became the person in charge of Fox Hunting.
In this world, how many women could be as outstanding as she was?
But she was clearly such a powerful and confident woman. But because of an unexpected accident, he completely fell into the trap and became addicted to alcohol.
Xiao Zheng stared at Sophia, who was under the blanket, peacefully. His eyes were filled with gentleness. But he could not help but feel a hint of bitterness at the corner of his lips.
She was already in prison, but there was still a strong enemy coming. Couldn't he let her live a few days in peace? She had lost her family. Who could she rely on, who could she rely on?
Xiao Zheng gently stretched out his palm and covered Sophia's beautiful left cheek. It was smooth and tender, but so cold. It was as if she was suffering even in her dreams. It was as if she could not feel the slightest bit of warmth even in the warm blanket.
What was the difference between this and living in hell?
"Hmm …"
Sophia suddenly opened her eyes. Her beautiful eyes were filled with wariness and unease. She was clearly frightened by the man who suddenly appeared beside her bed.
