Xiao Zheng's brain spun rapidly as he tried to figure out every single clue. Then, he raised his eyes slightly and noticed that a trace of anger had inadvertently flashed through Shang Yao's eyes.
It was obvious that this anger was directed at Ito, who was behind all this, and not at him.
He paused and pursed his lips, "Are you trying to tell me that Boss Shang didn't give up on the Fox Hunt? It was Itō who forced him into a corner and left him with no way out?"
Yan Shang was dead.
Everyone believed that this was Shang Jingtian's declaration. It had also completely cut off the investigation of the Long Formation. From today onwards, Shang Jingtian would no longer have anything to do with the Fox Hunt. From a businessman with stains all over his body, he was now clean and flawless.
What a perfect ending!
When Shang Yao heard Xiao Zheng's words, an arrogant smile involuntarily flashed across her face, "Mister Xiao, you underestimate my father too much. The Fox Hunt is indeed a good resource. My father would be like a tiger with wings if he could use it — "
Shang Yao paused and continued, "But so what if he didn't have the Fox Hunt? Did my father rely on the Fox Hunt to get to where he is today? "
Xiao Zheng was confused.
His eyes flickered and he asked curiously, "From your tone, I can tell that you are angry at Itō. Obviously, Shang Shang is not satisfied with Itō's actions. "
"Yan Shang didn't have to die," Shang Yao said firmly. "My father had the ability to protect him."
Xiao Zheng's eyes brightened and he asked, "You mean, even if Boss Shang wanted to cut off his relationship with the Fox Hunt and cut off the investigation of the Long Formation, he didn't have to sacrifice Yan Shang?"
"Yes," Shang Yao said in a low voice. "Yan Shang's death put my father in a real predicament. To be more precise, it put me in a predicament. "
Xiao Zheng suddenly came to his senses and asked with a shocked expression, "Is it because of Lord Yan?"
Shang Yao nodded regretfully. "Yan Shang's death made Old Master very unhappy."
"Did Old Master vent his anger on your father for Yan Shang's death?" Xiao Zheng asked.
"In the process of becoming the head of a wealthy family, you can be ruthless and disregard your own family. Take Li Shimin for example, he killed his brother and forced his father, but he was still a good emperor in the eyes of the people. "Shang Yao compared her father to the Emperor. "After becoming the head of a family, I should protect my family. This is both a responsibility and an obligation."
Yan Shang looked regretful. "Grandpa doesn't think that my father is a good head of the family."
Xiao Zheng marveled at the rich and powerful family's awareness that was different from ordinary people. He also felt that the old man was indeed not ordinary. His requirements for his children were also ridiculously strict.
Not only did they support competition, but they also wanted future generations to have a sense of responsibility and responsibility. Once he became the master, he should ensure the safety of his entire family. To be a true leader.
From the looks of it, Itō's assassination had indeed pushed Shang Jingtian into a dilemma. On one hand, he had to bear the sin of killing his family. On the other hand, he had to bear the wrath of Old Master Yan.
Even so, he still endured it without a word. This alone was enough to prove that Shang Jingtian was indeed an extraordinary person. His breadth of mind was admirable.
"Is it because of this that you, the grandson of the eldest branch, have to compete with Yen Teng-kuei for the position of the first successor?" Xiao Zheng asked curiously.
Shang Yao's eyes flashed. Her lips curled into a thoughtful smile. "It seems that Mr. Xiao has a good grasp of the structure of a wealthy and powerful family."
Xiao Zheng didn't mind Shang Yao's teasing. He asked slowly, "Miss Shang told me such an important matter. It can't be without a reason, right? "
Shang Yao smiled. Her eyes flashed with killing intent. "Mr. Xiao, if Itō died in an accident, wouldn't it be a good thing for us?"
"Accident?" Xiao Zheng raised his eyebrows. "Miss Shang, do you know how much influence Itō has in Tokyo?"
"So what if he has influence?" Shang Yao said resolutely. "With Mr. Xiao's strength as one of the Eight Absolutes, would he care about a mere Itō?"
Xiao Zheng said thought-provoking. "Miss Shang knows quite a lot."
Shang Yao smiled. She happily accepted Xiao Zheng's praise. She slowly sat up straight. Her eyes were sincere. "Mr. Xiao, let's be frank. Many of Itō's methods aren't honorable. I'm sure you've experienced it. This time, he's teaming up with Chang Yishan. Who can guarantee that he won't play dirty tricks? "
Xiao Zheng's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness. His lips were tightly shut. He seemed to be in deep thought.
Seeing that her words were effective, Shang Yao continued to persuade. "As long as Mr. Xiao is willing to make a move, our Shang clan will definitely cooperate."
"Cooperate how?" Xiao Zheng squinted.
"Before Mr. Xiao succeeds, Shang clan will use all their strength to snipe Itō. Don't let him have the chance to make a move on Xin Ao. "Shang Yao said word by word.
"Snipe with all our strength?" Xiao Zheng's lips curled into a strange smile. "Miss Shang, are you serious?"
"I'm honest." Shang Yao said with a serious expression.
"What if I drag it out for a year and a half, wouldn't Miss Shang stomp her feet in anger?" Xiao Zheng said with a nasty expression.
"Then we'll help Mr. Xiao take the lead!" Shang Yao said with a serious expression.
It could be seen that Shang Yao wasn't painting a big picture for Xiao Zheng. Moreover, as long as Shang clan didn't make a move, Xiao Zheng didn't need to make a move. That is to say, Shang Yao's promise was equivalent to forcing herself onto the stage, and then waiting for Xiao Zheng to make a move.
With such a cooperative relationship, Shang clan had already placed themselves in a lowly position. There was no room to bluff Xiao Zheng.
Xiao Zheng heard this and stared at Shang Yao meticulously, smiling: "Looks like Miss Shang hates Itō to the core."
Shang Yao didn't deny it, she pursed her lips and asked: "What do you think, Mr. Xiao?"
"Deal." Xiao Zheng raised his glass.
Shang Yao's tense nerves finally relaxed. She slowly raised her glass and said: "Mr. Xiao, happy cooperation."
After sending Shang Yao away from Xin Ao, Xiao Zheng squatted down at the company building and smoked his electronic cigarette. His eyes were sharp.
Assassinate Itō?
This wasn't something that could be accomplished in one go. According to Xiao Zheng's understanding, Itō's ninja army alone was terrifying. Moreover, he had Youji who he didn't know how powerful he was. To break through all the obstacles and assassinate Itō. Although it wasn't as difficult as ascending to heaven, it was definitely not an easy task.
This matter had to be considered at length.
But whether it was Shang Yao's proposal or Xiao Zheng's personal point of view. This was a necessary assassination.
Firstly, just Chang Yishan alone was enough to cause Xiao Zheng to be badly battered, and it would be difficult for him to move forward. If Chang Yishan had the support of Itō, then Xin Ao might not be able to turn the tide even if he spent ten billion. After all, Xin Ao was just a new company that had only been established for five years. But Chang Yishan and Itō were old hands in Jianghu. They were extremely experienced.
Adding on the new and old grudges, Xiao Zheng had enough reasons to make Itō disappear from this world.
Of course, the most important reason for Xiao Zheng's decision was to establish his authority.
Kill the chicken to warn the monkeys!
He was going to kill them in front of those villains in Yan Jin and let them see it clearly. I, Xiao Zheng, am not only good at talking. If you really piss me off, I'll send you all to hell!
