Sun Jiayi finally blinked. "Hint?"
Inside the carriage, Madam Halder's will transformed into a low vibration in the young woman's throat. "You said to everyone, 'Start from the angle of the mask', and that was the basic method to uncover the true value of the information. It was exactly according to your train of thought that Yin Le and I took less than an hour to complete the clues and perfect the logic.
"The two of us can solve the problem. With your ability, can't you do it with a few psychologists? Once it's complete, the value of the information will definitely soar, and the profits will be ten times more than what it is now. Why didn't you do such a good thing? "
Sun Jiayi pressed her forehead and smiled helplessly. "Madam, hearing you say that makes my heart ache! I'm afraid I've lost a lot of money in this business... Hiss! "
"Speak properly. No matter how healthy your cardiovascular function is, if your medulla oblongata is burned through, it will be meaningless. "
Under the powerful pressure of the Yin flames, Sun Jiayi's breathing became chaotic. Her heart beat wildly, and her brain lacked oxygen. She became dizzy and numb. Even so, she forced herself to maintain a smile and looked directly at the flickering flames in the rearview mirror.
"Madam, you think too highly of me."
The burning sensation and pressure at the back of her neck eased. Sun Jiayi seized the opportunity to spit out all the words she had been suppressing in her chest. "You and Deputy Officiant Yin are both top-notch figures in the inner world. How can you force others to do what you can? Besides, I only named you because I saw Mr. Luo's age and dull personality. It doesn't match your great reputation, so I thought of it... "
This time, it was Sun Jiayi's turn to be interrupted. The young woman's original voice rang out, conveying Madam Halder's will. It had nothing to do with Sun Jiayi's defense. "Of course I think highly of you. Our cooperation has been on and off for fifteen years. Perhaps at that time, you were only at the age of your 'goddaughter'. "
"I have many goddaughters. Madam, which one are you talking about?" Sun Jiayi's forehead and back were already drenched in cold sweat. This was a natural reaction of her body, and she couldn't control it. Only the smile on her face was nearly perfect.
Knowing that Sun Jiayi was still spouting nonsense, Madam Halder no longer made meaningless threats. The woman in the front row had already used facts to prove that ordinary interrogation techniques had no significant effect on her.
Madame Harde said, "From what I know, the name 'Multifaceted' has quite a bit of status in the intelligence circles of Xia City, but there aren't many people who know of your true identity. Do you remember how I found out about your identity? "
"This …"
"It's because of an investment."
"Oh." Sun Jiayi's gaze swept over the rearview mirror, and she saw that the eyes behind the lenses were fiery and cold, so piercing that she almost narrowed her eyes. Since the other party had directly pointed it out, it would be too impolite to try to go around it.
"Yes, I remember. At that time, you were expanding your business and needed a large sum of money, and I happened to have a client who was looking for a project with a higher return on investment. Then, I did my job and became the intermediary between the two of you. After a while, you got to know each other. "
The young woman in the backseat laughed. "How broad-minded."
"Oh?"
"In my memory, I contacted that investor very quickly and started a deeper cooperation. I tossed you to the side and saved quite a bit of intermediary fees. But what made people sigh with emotion was that you easily acquiesced, and everyone maintained a cooperative relationship. Nothing went wrong. "
Sun Jiayi lifted the short hair on her forehead, and her smile deepened. "Madam, have you always harbored a guilty conscience?"
"I only remember that when the Order withdrew from Xia City in a panic, I took the initiative to contact you. Of course, I knew very well that you wouldn't be of any help at that time. I just wanted to use you to try and convince that investor to continue to invest. But you disconnected at that time. "
"Oh, I'm sorry. I had too much fun that night …"
"In the following period of time, my cooperation with you was completely severed. This was completely in sync with that investor's attitude."
"Madam, my business is limited to Xia City."
"But why is it that when the 'two thousandths of a miss' incident occurred? More accurately speaking, when the hill of bones where Jin Tong was buried appeared in the outer seas of Xia City, our relationship suddenly became closer?"
Sun Jiayi could only sigh. "Business is business. Madam, why do you have to be so calculative?"
The sports car shuttled back and forth on the high-speed maglev roads of the mountainous region, but the car suddenly sank into a state of silence. The young woman's soul sender in the backseat seemed to have lost her soul once more. She didn't respond. Sun Jiayi couldn't help but have a thought. If she were to jump out of the car right now, what were the chances of her escaping this life-threatening trouble?
This silence lasted for five seconds, or maybe even ten. Only then did Madam Halder's will manifest once more through the voice of the young woman in the backseat. "Every time I hear the words' business is business', I feel a chill in my heart. But when it comes from your own mouth, it feels completely different."
The tone was gloomy and cold. It was vastly different from the overbearing feeling from before. This caused Sun Jiayi to react a bit slower. Before she could figure out how to divert this dangerous topic, she was pierced by the flaming gaze of the car's rearview mirror.
This soul sender was definitely crippled.
An indescribable thought popped up in Sun Jiayi's mind. Then she heard the other party's voice again. "You don't have to explain or hide it anymore. In the short term, my judgment of your identity will not change. I came to find you tonight and spoke to you. There was no element of probing in it. I just wanted to inform you … and vent. "
"Madam!"
"I hope you can convey my attitude and the corresponding judgment to that person. I'm talking about the judgment of her current investment project. "
In the car, only the low voice of the soul sender reverberated. "You didn't give me the complete information. Instead, you acted like a foolish and greedy businessman. You dug out a gold mine but haven't fully explored its reserves yet. You couldn't wait to package it up and sell it off. You even married one woman to another. Do you feel that this gold mine is more effective and that you won't be able to sell it for a good price if you sell it later? Or do you not think highly of the gold mine's reserves, so you don't hesitate to ruin your reputation in order to make money first? Or do you want to deliberately muddy the waters and obtain even greater benefits from a level unknown to others … Out of respect for that investor, I choose the third option. "
Sun Jiayi also fell silent. She no longer tried to "correct" Madam Halder's train of thought.
"The information you gave me seems to be a half-finished product. In reality, although the value of the complete information is high, it is very difficult to sell it for a suitable reason. The half-finished information doesn't have this kind of sensitivity. Instead, it is easier to conceal your intentions. Some people will mistakenly believe that gold has been dug out from the sand, but they will ignore the direction behind it. "
"After all, Luo Nan is quite simple. His personality, strong points, and weak points can be discovered as long as one puts in a bit of thought. And it is because he is simple that there are only a limited number of places that can be used. If one side exerts force, the results will be obvious. If two sides exert force, there will be variables. And if more than three sides exert force together, it will become complete chaos. Under the interference of many sides, the designs and schemes of each side will not be able to achieve the desired results. The struggle surrounding Luo Nan will only become more complicated. "
Madam Halder took the initiative to stop and catch her breath upon speaking to this point. She even extinguished the invisible yin fire on the back of Sun Jiayi's neck. Her attitude seemed to be easing up. Her originally straight back leaned back, making her look more like a passenger hitching a ride. She even asked for some opinions.
"Aren't there too many elements of conjecture?"
Sun Jiayi thought for a moment and said, "There has to be a source of inspiration. A bit of stimulation or something."
"Yeah. There are two sources. The first is Yin Le. She said that the uncertainties need to be reduced to a minimum. I have a very bad feeling about this. The second one …. Do you know that Luo Nan and Tian Bang ran into each other on the streets tonight?
"I haven't received any tip-offs yet. But Madam said that they ran into each other by chance. I think that it really was a coincidence. "
"Perhaps. But with Tian Bang's intelligence, how could he not know that communicating with Luo Nan in a hurry would only irritate him? He wouldn't achieve any results? And with his personality, he would probably rather bump into He Yueyin's cold rebuke than engage in a meaningless entanglement with Luo Nan. So I believe that even if this encounter was a coincidence, he must have made some preparations in his mind. Perhaps he has grasped the principles and techniques of communicating with Luo Nan. Or perhaps he is still a bit lacking and wants to do some verification … … He must have a share of your information. "
"......"
"Now we can make the final inference. I once believed that you were making a fuss about Luo Nan. You used him as bait to draw away the attention of others, making it convenient for you to act. But then I thought of something she once told me … … Investors act sneakily for the sake of controlling costs. But in the end, they always need an enthusiastic response. "
After a brief pause, the young woman in the backseat spat out a clear word from her lips, "The Bloodflame Order has been forcefully stopped before they can obtain an enthusiastic response. But you guys are already reaping the rewards from Luo Nan, right? If this is the case, I can roughly guess the position of that investor … … "
The sports car had already driven onto the ring highway by now. The northern boundary of Xia City was higher in altitude. Looking through the front windshield of the car, most of the city district of Xia City was converged into a sea of lights. It was truly beautiful. And the mountainous region the car drove through became a scene of thick ink. It was connected to the faraway corners of the stars.
The sports car pierced through the barrier of the air, whistling through the air with a humming sound. It was as if it had crossed the boundary between the wilderness and civilization in an instant. It was as if it had traveled from one dimension to another.
Nothing seemed to have changed, but in reality, the endlessly expanding air pressure within the sports car was like an incorporeal bomb. It could explode at any moment.
Sun Jiayi's voice came from the front driver's seat at a certain point before the explosion. It was just that it carried a peculiar tone, "I've always been amazed by your gambling decisiveness. At the same time, I have reservations about your self-destructing inner core. This kind of heart isn't a good place to be. "
In the backseat, the soul sender suddenly raised his head. The eyes reflected in the rearview mirror were truly burning.
