Xiao Zheng understood. Shang Yao clearly came prepared!
But until now, Xiao Zheng still didn't know what Shang Yao wanted to do.
Just to disgust him?
To tell him that other than Chang Yishan, Xin Ao still has a powerful enemy, there's still a big shot from Tokyo watching over him?
Xiao Zheng was silent for a moment, his eyes staring deeply at Shang Yao: "Miss Shang, what you said is indeed very helpful to Xin Ao. I am very grateful to you. "
"We are allies." Shang Yao smiled. "There's no need to say such polite words."
After a pause, she continued: "I also heard that Xin Ao is prepared to use ten billion to fight this tough battle?"
Xiao Zheng raised his eyebrows, his face turned cold: "You know about this too?"
"I'm not the only one who knows. Chang Yishan knows too," Shang Yao said with a smile. "This kind of thing is hard to hide from people with ulterior motives."
Xiao Zheng retorted sarcastically: "Miss Shang is someone with ulterior motives?"
"Yes." Shang Yao didn't hide anything and answered honestly. "But people with ulterior motives are also divided into those who want to help you and those who want to harm you. I am the former, Chang Yishan is the latter. "
Xiao Zheng pursed his lips: "Miss Shang has put in a lot of effort, it's very touching."
Shang Yao ignored the sarcasm in Xiao Zheng's words, smiled and said: "Just like how Chang Yishan and Itō can work together, Mr. Xiao and I also have a lot of room for cooperation. As long as Mr. Xiao is willing, Shang Clan can provide you with strong support in this battle. "
"What are the conditions?" Xiao Zheng narrowed his eyes and asked.
He had experienced countless life and death situations, he didn't believe that there would be meat pies falling from the sky for no reason. If one or two of them really fell, they would definitely be poisonous and rotten.
"Must there be conditions?" Shang Yao asked back. "Let's just take it as the first step of our cooperation, okay?"
"You don't even care about your own cousin. Why would you help an outsider like me?" Xiao Zheng shook his head lightly.
These words were rather harsh, and if it was someone with slightly weaker mental fortitude, they would probably fly into a rage out of humiliation. However, Shang Yao had already cultivated a heart of stone. After hearing Xiao Zheng's words, she only smiled indifferently and said, "If Mister Xiao really feels bad, then just treat it as if you owe me a favor. How about it?"
"I can get into debt, or even loan sharks. I just don't like owing favors, "Xiao Zheng said expressionlessly.
Sometimes, a favor must be repaid with one's life.
"Mr Xiao sure is cautious." Shang Yao smiled meaningfully.
How could he be indifferent to a cake that was delivered to his doorstep? This person's mental fortitude was indeed not something an ordinary person could compare to. But this cooperation was extremely important to Shang clan. It could even be the turning point of the situation. Shang Yao had to do this.
And to facilitate this cooperation, what Shang Yao needed to remove the most was Xiao Zheng's wariness. She also needed to show enough sincerity. Otherwise, it would be hard for her to pull a strong ally like Xiao Zheng to Shang clan.
Everyone knew that Lin Chaotian had already formed an alliance with Chang Yishan. No matter what kind of cooperation they had, or what intentions they had. To Shang clan and her father, it was definitely not a good thing.
So Shang clan had to pull in a strong ally. Only then could Shang Jingtian continue to fight against Lin Chaotian.
Then, who was the best choice?
Xiao Zheng.
In fact, in the eyes of Shang Jingtian and Shang Yao, this young man had more potential than Chang Yishan, and had more room to grow.
Because what Chang Yishan had in his hands was only sufficient wealth and a developed brain. Shang clan did not lack the former. The latter — — as long as they had the former, even if they could not find a genius like Chang Yishan, they could easily find a bunch of smelly cobblers.
Only Xiao Zheng's connections and the power behind him made even Shang Jingtian jealous and moved.
Just Ye Yuhua alone was enough for Shang Jingtian to pull Xiao Zheng to his side at all costs!
Before Shang Yao left this time, Shang Jingtian had given her a death order: Only success, no failure!
After a short moment of silence, Shang Yao held the exquisite wine glass in her hand. Her eyes fell on the sparkling and translucent wine as she slowly said, "Mr. Xiao, have you always thought that Yan Shang was executed by my father?
Xiao Zheng's brows twitched as an inexplicable feeling rose in his heart.
They were having a good discussion, so why did they suddenly turn to this irrelevant problem?
Moreover, the moment she spoke, it was a secret shrouded in a layer of mystery!
In fact, this question had once troubled Xiao Zheng. As a result, he did not dare to casually step into Yan Jing. This was because Xiao Zheng had been the best suspect for a long period of time!
Now that the past was brought up again, Xiao Zheng could not help but perk up. He asked curiously, "Isn't that the case?"
Hua Xia did not allow the Fox Hunters to appear, and as one of the people in charge of the Asian region, he was on par with Itō in the Fox Hunters. Shang Jingtian had to get rid of Yan Shang, the root of the problem. Only by abandoning the soldiers to protect the general could he stabilize his own position. He did not want to be held accountable later.
When the news of Yan Shang's death reached Xiao Zheng's ears, his first guess was that the mastermind was Shang Jingtian!
"No." Shang Yao shook her head firmly. "My father was only using him. He treated him as my substitute. But killing him — "
Shang Yao changed the topic and asked with a serious look, "Mr. Xiao, Yan Shang was my grandfather's grandson after all. Even a vicious tiger would not eat its cubs, let alone my father. "
A strange look flashed across Xiao Zheng's eyes. He asked curiously, "If it wasn't your father, who else would have the motive to do this?"
After a short pause, a thought suddenly came to Xiao Zheng's mind. He stared at Shang Yao in disbelief. "Don't tell me that the mastermind is Lin Chaotian?"
Shang Yao's expression changed slightly. She shook her head and said, "Mr. Xiao, you think too lowly of Lin Chaotian's character. Is a mere Yan Shang worth Lin Laoyao's scheming? "
Xiao Zheng said awkwardly, "Looks like I'm two-faced." He paused for a while and looked up. "Then who's the mastermind? If it's not your father, why didn't you do anything even though you knew who the mastermind was? "
"Itō," Shang Yao said meticulously. "It's him. He sent someone to kill Yan Shang!"
Xiao Zheng's expression changed suddenly. He asked in disbelief, "Why would he do that?"
"Because Yan Shang's actions had a huge impact on the Fox Hunter. Itō had a reason to get rid of the person in charge of the Asian sector, "Shang Yao said slowly. "Secondly. He wanted to cut off my father's path of retreat. He wanted to make it impossible for my father to turn back. "
Xiao Zheng's body trembled.
He understood now!
He understood everything!
Did Itō have a motive? Definitely!
Yan Shang was dead. To ordinary people, the biggest suspect was indeed Xiao Zheng. But to the higher-ups, who was the biggest suspect? It was Shang Jingtian!
He was the only one who would be implicated by Yan Shang!
If he didn't die, the Long Formation would definitely get to the bottom of this! Even if Shang Jingtian had the ability to protect himself, there was no need for him to go against the all-pervasive Long Formation!
Therefore, with Yan Shang's death, Shang Jingtian had become the real suspect!
But on the other hand, Itō's move had sealed off Shang Jingtian's path of retreat, forcing him to declare his stance and cut all ties with the Fox Hunter.
From then on, wouldn't Itō be the only person in charge of the Asian sector?
