Obviously, Tao Yinan's words shocked everyone present. Even Zhao Zihu didn't expect Tao Yinan to dare to do this.
This kind of threat was too sudden, and they couldn't figure it out at all. Therefore, they were more shocked than frightened.
Lee Zheng couldn't calm down for a long time because he couldn't believe that Tao Yinan would say such a thing. Such a straightforward threat was too surprising.
"I don't care if you can figure out the current situation or not, but I've made it very clear." Tao Yinan said, "Every one of you who came to the hotel to look for me must have been seen by Zuo Lengyue's people. No one is an exception. Everyone from the six great clans has a part to play in this matter. "
"Miss Tao, you've gone too far." Zhou Xuancheng said, "You've set a trap for us …"
Tao Yinan shook her head. "Don't make it sound so unpleasant. I just hope that the six great clans can share some responsibility. That's all."
Zhao Zihu swallowed a mouthful of saliva. "Miss Tao, you've really fooled us this time."
"We're all gathered together. No matter who does it, the responsibility is shared." Tao Yinan ignored Zhao Zihu. "Just like cleaning up the Jiang clan, the responsibility is shared by everyone. Even Zuo Lengyue won't act rashly."
"Miss Tao, the empress didn't act rashly? The five great war gods all stood up. Our Sun clan suffered a serious loss that day! "Sun Haoming said," Do you know? "
Tao Yinan asked in reply, "Do you know how much our Tao clan lost?"
Everyone fell into silence again. No one had expected that they would be involved in such a quagmire. It was impossible to escape unscathed now.
"I won't stop anyone who wants to leave." Tao Yinan said, "But what I said just now also counts. I believe the others won't object to pouring dirty water on others, right?"
Lee Zheng clenched his teeth. Even though he was gnashing his teeth in hatred, there was no other way to change the current situation.
"I didn't mean to make things difficult for the Li clan." Tao Yinan said, "Please don't mind."
"Then what do you want us to do?" Lee Zheng said, "Why did you ask us to go to Qingdao? Since we've already made things clear, let's not drag this out any longer. "
Tao Yinan raised her wine glass. "Since we've reached an agreement to shoulder this responsibility together, let's have a toast."
This was the first time Tao Yinan had mentioned wine, and this time, no one dared to not raise the wine glass in front of them.
No one wanted to be pushed into a special position, and no one wanted to be isolated.
And now, everyone was well aware that one of them would be "used".
Zhao Zihu didn't mind at all. He knew his own position. Other than Lee Zheng and Zhou Xuancheng, who weren't very compatible with him, he could handle everyone else.
At that time, as long as he convinced Zhou Xuancheng to consider the overall situation, he believed that he would betray Lee Zheng.
In the face of such interests, no one would be stupid enough to do anything stupid. As long as they had the chance, they would definitely get themselves out of this crisis.
"Our Six Great Clans will share this responsibility?" Li Zheng wasn't stupid and could sense the danger he was in. "What if the empress wants us to find a scapegoat?"
Tao Yinan said, "Don't worry, my subordinate is very loyal. He will be our scapegoat."
"Who are you talking about?" Li Zheng didn't believe her.
Tao Yinan clapped her hands, and Tao Tianyi, who had been standing guard at the door, pushed the door open and walked in.
"It's him." Tao Yinan said, "My subordinate will do everything he should do. If you don't believe me, I can make him promise in front of everyone here."
Tao Tianyi took a deep breath. "I will put an end to this matter."
With these words from the Tao Family, Li Zheng felt relieved. This way, if Zuo Lengyue were to blame them, they could push this person out and it wouldn't have anything to do with them.
"With this, all of you can rest assured, right?" Tao Yinan said.
Everyone didn't have any objections and raised their wine glasses one after another.
Zhao Zihu's gaze didn't leave Tao Tianyi. He thought in his heart, If this was the decision, why did Tao Yinan need to gather all of them here?
This was obviously superfluous. If she had asked him to do it, he would have done it. If she gathered all of them and then all of them went together, he would still be the one to do it. In the end, it would still be his Tao Family's matter!
The matter had taken a big turn, but the result was still the same. This was obviously not Tao Yinan's style of doing things.
There must be something fishy about this matter. Zhao Zihu had already come to this conclusion. He had been observing Tao Tianyi all along.
Tao Tianyi's face was ashen. Obviously, this wasn't what he wanted to do. Moreover, his expression clearly showed that he was going to walk the path of death even if he knew it was a dead end.
What was the reason for this? Zhao Zihu pondered for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out.
"He is very clear about Jiang Zixue's situation on Guqin Island." Tao Yinan said, "Moreover, he also knows who is protecting Jiang Zixue. However, the other party isn't so easy to deal with. Therefore, I gathered everyone here for another reason. Each of you has as many experts as there are clouds in the sky. This can also strengthen our strength."
To put it bluntly, everyone had to contribute people.
"I will let him lead everyone to do this." Tao Yinan said, "You all know that I still have one subordinate, but he is injured and is useless."
Zhao Zihu shrugged his shoulders. "Before I came, I thought everything was settled, so I wasn't prepared at all … Phew, I didn't bring anyone."
"Brother Zihu, it doesn't matter if you don't bring anyone. I can participate in this operation with you." Li Zheng suddenly said, "It can't be that the people of the Zhao Family don't show up, right?"
Zhao Zihu's expression changed. He really didn't expect Li Zheng to say such words.
"It's obviously not appropriate for you to do things with your subordinates." Li Zheng said, "So I will accompany you."
Since Li Zheng had already said such words, how could Zhao Zihu have the nerve to say no?
"I think Li Zheng is right. If no one from the Zhao Family participates in this matter, then it will be too disharmonious." Zhou Xuancheng said, "Since we are all going to participate in it, then we should also participate in it. No one should push themselves out."
Tao Yinan smiled slightly. "I agree with this statement."
With these words, what else could Qian Zheng and Sun Haoming say? Stand up and oppose? Was there any meaning?
Out of the six people, four of them agreed. Although Zhao Zihu was against it in his heart, he could only brace himself. Since he was already standing in this position, what else could he do?
"I have no objections. As long as everyone acts together, then there is no problem." Sun Haoming said.
Qian Zheng smiled bitterly. There was no other way but to accept it.
"Then we have decided on this matter." Tao Yinan said, "After drinking this cup of wine, we can't change our minds anymore."
Who could still change their minds? Things had already come to this point!
Zhao Zihu was also dragged into the water, but he really couldn't understand. Although everyone was dragged into the water, Tao Yinan herself couldn't get rid of it!
Tao Yinan herself was also in this quagmire. What was the point of her doing all this?
How could a smart person do such a thing? Zhao Zihu was puzzled. He really wanted to open Tao Yinan's brain and see what was in it.
After drinking this cup of wine, everyone began to think of their own countermeasures with their own ulterior motives. No one wanted to become the passive party in this matter.
If they wanted to seize the initiative, they could only rely on themselves.
