Just as Rong Qi stepped out of the Internet cafe, her phone buzzed with an international call.
“Boss, Rong Holdings’s shares have been acquired. Now, there are three major stakeholders in Rong Holdings, and Rong Tianshi has lost his say. Besides us keeping the company running smoothly, another party seems solely focused on undermining Rong Holdings. What’s more, they’ve even infiltrated our own company, tying our hands. Boss, do you think Rong Tianshi has offended someone, causing us to be implicated as well?”
Rong Qi’s brows furrowed deeply. She said, “It’s not uncommon for him to ruffle some feathers. But there aren’t many people in Leucia who can hinder you. Send me all the information you have; I’ll take a look.”
“Understood.”
Not long after hanging up, Rong Qi received a document. Hailing a taxi, she settled in the back seat, engrossed in her phone. The data was scant, devoid even of a name—or rather, any names discovered were aliases and had no practical meaning. The only tangible lead was a brief five words that sent chills down one’s spine: Ferica’s Seven Sinisters.
Seven Sinisters—a mercenary organization that thrived on commissioned tasks. Rong Qi had her own complicated history with them, and she couldn’t help but smirk.
‘Why such an organization would vie for control of Rong Holdings. Were they acting on someone else’s behalf? But then again, acquiring Rong Holdings shouldn’t require deploying the notorious Seven Sinisters.’ Rong Qi thought.
Rong Qi squinted her eyes and fired off a message to her contact in Merica. It had been a long time since anyone had stirred her competitive spirit. She was intrigued to find out who was pulling the strings behind the formidable Seven Sinisters and whether their target was Rong Holdings or her.
After getting out of the taxi, Rong Qi found herself in a desolate suburban area. Abandoned construction sites and factories surrounded her, overgrown with wild grass. Had it not been for Ye Nanshen’s location, she would never have known such a place existed in the capital city.
Rong Qi pulled out her phone and began walking toward the red dot displayed on her screen.
Meanwhile, inside an abandoned factory, Ye Nanshen and his entourage were surrounded. Standing guarded by Ye Nanshen’s side were Lu Chengzhou and Gu Ziyue. They eyed the encroaching figures with wariness.
“So, Ye Nanshen! The strategic, influential man who wouldn’t bat an eye if the sky fell—didn’t think you’d fall into a trap, did you? Hahaha!”
Ye Nanshen, seated in his wheelchair, remained stoic, as if deaf to the mockery.
The man in question raised his gun and aimed it at Ye Nanshen. The latter didn’t even blink, which only intensified the suspense. The man in question wondered what exactly was Ye Nanshen’s plan. After all, the incredible and influential Mr. Ye couldn’t possibly fall into his trap so easily.
Although the man in question’s plan was perfect, there were still some twists and turns in between. Now that he had surrounded Ye Nanshen, he felt somewhat surreal.
The man’s eyes narrowed, his vigilance heightening. “Ye Nanshen, all you have to do is promise not to interfere in this project, and we can resolve this peacefully. All we want is half of the power in the Southland. What do you say?”
Behind a black mask, the man laid out his terms.
Ye Nanshen’s eyes slit, and he spoke softly yet ominously, “I want the Southland and your life.”
The chilling tone was laden with palpable menace.
Grinding his teeth, the man seemed to make up his mind. “Fine, since you’ve made your choice, don’t blame us for being ruthless. Fire!”
The crowd raised their guns, aiming at Ye Nanshen and his companions. Just then, a commotion at the entrance distracted everyone, making them turn to look..
