Chapter 418: The Hands Behind the Curtain (Part Two)
“I was forced! If I didn’t do it at that time, everyone would die!” Shanling Gangben anxiously said, “It was all the scheme of that guy, he was hiding in the dark, and he planned everything! Let me out, I will find him, and I will make him suffer a horrible death!”
Tianjing Tuozai bitterly smiled. “The prime minister already had a talk with my father. He knows that we would be trying to get you out, and he said to not make things difficult for him! If this matter cannot end in the public opinion’s favor, then his government team will be greatly affected, and his chances for being elected again next year will dramatically decrease! He was even suspecting if it was someone actually doing this to target him at this kind of critical time. I can’t help you.”
“He obviously wants me to die, or in other words, wants the whole Shanling Financial Group to die!” Shanling Gangben furiously shouted, “Everyone knows that we don’t support them democrats, so they want to use this chance to completely take out Shanling! I know your Tianjing Group supports them, but let me tell you, if you don’t help me get out, my guys outside will instigate the people and spread a rumor saying that this was a huge conspiracy planned by Tianjing and the government! By then, your financial group will also be in jeopardy for killing my son, Jiubao!”
“You know I wasn’t the one that killed him!” Tianjing Tuozai was furious and he said in a deep voice.
“But the police only know that he died in your presidential suite. That’s your favorite place to go with your sugar babies, and I wonder how the public will react to that too. My request is simple, your father can for sure have a word with the prime minister, whether it’s finding a substitute, or going another way, I’m not going to die in here! What bullsh*t public opinion? That’s just the dumb public following the wind and bucking the trend, and you guys want to use my life to put out a fire that’s going to eventually go out? I have enough people that are willing to die for me, they just need to go to the Han Nation to get plastic surgery and replace me. In fact, I know it’s actually you Tianjing guys and the prime minister that wants me dead, don’t deny it! The people on my side already told me, it was the prime minister that is against letting me out at the conference, he was just using public opinion as an excuse!”
He was right that if Tianjing Tuozai didn’t get involved in this, the two parties that would benefit the most would be the Tianjing Financial Group and the current prime minister. The opposing political party would lose a large portion of their financial support, which was the Shanling Corporation, and Tianjing could also absorb all the assets that originally belonged to the Shanling Financial Group at a dirt-cheap cost!
However, it was completely unexpected that Tianjing Tuozai, the next successor of the Tianjing Group, would be dragged into this and become the first suspect for murder. Those politicians were all holding onto this bargaining chip to pressure the current political party in power and the Tianjing Financial Group. All in all, both sides were trying to reach a deal around Shanling Gangben, and if one side doesn’t compromise, then the other side wouldn’t give up for sure, and in the end, not only would the current prime minister risk not getting reelected, his political party’s biggest sponsor, the Tianjing Group, would also suffer a big hit.
“You know very well that this matter has nothing to do with us, yet you still want to hold it over us?” Tianjing Tuozai said.
“Brat, get your dad to come and see me,” Shanling Gangben faintly said.
Tianjing Tuozai was a bit annoyed, and just then, he didn’t know what kind of monster controlled his hand, as his hand just reached for his pistol by his waist and then fired a shot right at Shanling Gangben’s head!
Tianjing Tuozai’s eyes opened up wide!
Shanling Gangben’s blood splattered all over his face, and he was completely dumbfounded!
Looking around, there was absolutely no one!
