"Chen Chong's death was a bit strange.
In the study, Ah Si's face looked a little solemn, and his eyes hesitantly fell on Ye Shiguan's face behind the desk.
"Yes." Ye Shiguan, who was sitting quietly on the chair, had no expression on his face, but a subtle light danced in his eyes.
Yes.
Not only Ah Si found it strange, but even Ye Shiguan, who was strategizing, couldn't figure out why Chen Chong was killed at this time.
too early.
Too fast.
In recent days, Ye Shiguan has been cooperating with Li Mubai's plan. Even if everything he did was to deal with Li Mubai. But he is doing it. And it was done so flawlessly that no one would doubt his sincerity.
But after just seven days, the battle had just begun and the battle came to an abrupt end. It was over——
Who killed Chen Chong
Even at this moment, Ye Shiguan couldn't help but ask such a question.
He really didn't think Li Mubai was ready, and he really didn't expect that Li Mubai would assassinate Chen Chong at this time.
So - was it Li Mubai who did it
He knew that at this moment, there was no answer to this question. Li Mubai acquiesced in Chen Chong's death, but he did not convey any information to the public that he did it. Moreover, with Li Mubai's wisdom, there was no need for him to take action so early.
Therefore, Chen Chong's death was least likely to be caused by Li Mubai, and most likely done by Li Mubai. As the person involved, Chen Chong will never answer, so for Ye Shiguan, there is no answer to this question, at least not in the short term.
"Li Mubai is so cunning." After Ah Si finished his evaluation, he seemed to feel that this evaluation was not enough to fully evaluate Li Mubai, so he added another sentence. "It's too stupid."
Hearing this, Ye Shiguan raised his head slightly and said with a smile: "You also think he is stupid?"
Ah Si nodded and said, "He is indeed stupid."
"Then do you think Li Mubai is such a stupid person?" Ye Shiguan asked.
Ah Si couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.
After concentrating for a moment, he couldn't help but raise his head and looked at Ye Shiguan: "Do you think - he didn't kill him?"
"Except for Li Mubai, no one can give a 100% positive answer to this question." Ye Shiguan stared at it, lit a cigarette, and said slowly. "Perhaps, he was worried that I would cause a stumbling block in the contest between him and Chen Chong and add insult to injury, so he killed him and ended the battle in a flash. Or maybe, he really didn't want to wait any longer - not everyone is willing to face the power at their fingertips. With such great determination, we don’t get confused. After all, we are just bystanders, and the people involved are always not as clear-headed as the bystanders. If you think you are stupid, he may not think so."
Ah Si nodded lightly and said, "Indeed, once Chen Chong dies, there will be no one left in the Zhao family. As long as Li Mubai moves quickly enough, he has a good chance of stabilizing the situation, establishing a firm foothold, and becoming the new generation master of the Zhao family."
Ye Shiguan said calmly: "So only he has the answer."
"But he will never answer." Ah Si said.
Ye Shiguan nodded lightly: "Whether he answers or not, tonight is too important for him."
Ah Si's face was stern, he raised his head suddenly and asked: "What do you mean-"
"He will definitely take action tonight." Ye Shiguan narrowed his eyes slightly. "Whether he did it or not, everyone thinks he did it. So even if he didn't do it, it can only be him."
"You've been ruthless once, why would you care about the second or third time?" Ye Shiguan murmured. "Tonight, the Zhao family will be in chaos."
"Then let's—" Ah Si's pupils suddenly shrank. Very chilly.
"No rush." Ye Shiguan shook his head lightly.
Ye Shiguan was not in a hurry, but Ah Si was.
If everything goes well, tonight will most likely be the best time for Ye Shiguan to reach the top in one step! The Zhao family is in civil strife, and Ye Shiguan is benefiting from it. Isn't it a God-given opportunity
"Boss, according to your instructions, on the one hand, we pretended to cooperate with Li Mubai's actions. On the other hand, we also started to complete the layout of the Zhao family. As long as you give the order, we can move in full force and completely overthrow the Zhao family. Ah Si said with his eyes shining. "On that day, the Pearl will be your own stage. No one can compete with you anymore!"
"It's so tempting." Ye Shiguan's eyes flashed, but the corners of his lips raised a subtle arc.
But in the end, he didn't issue any orders and just told Ah Si to stand still. Although Ah Si was quite confused about this order, Ye Shiguan did not give any explanation.
Ah Si saw the situation in front of him, the situation before everyone. But Ye Shiguan not only saw what was in front of him, but also what was behind him. See all the recent happenings and the weirdness behind them.
Why is this happening
Why was Mr. Zhao assassinated at such a critical moment? And unconscious? Moreover, all the forces mobilized by the Zhao family, including all the forces mobilized by Ye Shiguan, could not find a specific answer, not even a clue
Why did Li Mubai choose such a time to assassinate Chen Chong? Why didn't he wait? As long as he is willing to wait, he will not put himself in a situation with no way out.
Why didn't he wait
Ye Shiguan could guess why Shen Manjun handed over the Zhao family order to Li Mubai. He knew that Xiao Zai must be the one behind it if Shen Manjun dared to hand over the Zhao family order to Li Mubai, which symbolized the supreme power of the Zhao family.
He did not deny that Xiao Zheng's move was quite beautiful. While alleviating the huge pressure on the Zhao family, the internal fighting was transformed into an external war, gaining enough time for cultivation.
But perhaps Xiao Zheng, like himself, never expected that Chen Chong would die so quickly and completely, right
Perhaps, at this moment, he was also thinking hard like himself, thinking about why Chen Chong died and why Li Mubai killed him
Chen Chong, Li Mubai, Shen Manjun, Xiao Zheng, these names flashed through Ye Shiguan's mind. Ye Shiguan kept analyzing everyone's motives and considering their next move from their perspective. He carefully deduced each person's character and analyzed their behavior through their character. Finally, he patted his forehead gently, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
Snap.
Ye Shiguan lit the last cigarette in the cigarette case. Although the tip of his tongue was slightly numb from excessive smoking, what could be more satisfying than having all the joints figured out
He took a deep breath and then dialed the number of Ah Si who had just left.
When the call was connected, Ye Shiguan gave the order in a sonorous voice: "Stand by."
After a long silence on the other side of the phone, Ah Si's energetic reply came: "Yes, boss!"
After hanging up the phone, Ye Shiguan's eyes flashed excitedly, and he murmured in a competitive tone: "Xiao Zheng, have you figured it out?"
