427: Chapter 416 Full of Calculations 427: Chapter 416 Full of Calculations “Yeah, the person who has no reason to do this thing is the one most likely to do it,” Song Yun said cryptically.
“I even started to doubt my own idea, but the fact that Lei Ting first refused and then agreed is a bit strange.”
“What’s so strange about that?
It’s human nature.”
“If I ran into trouble on your turf, and the problem was right in front of you for you to help resolve, what would you do?
Wouldn’t you agree to clear yourself of suspicion?” Song Yun asked.
“Yes, after all, it’s easy to handle.
Just find some time to take it to a deserted place.”
“That’s it.
The reason Lei Ting first refused and then agreed would give you two false impressions.
First, I don’t want to get involved in this matter, and second, the matter actually has something to do with me.
Haven’t you noticed that these two points contradict each other?
Not wanting to get involved, but letting people know it’s connected to me – that doesn’t make sense.”
“Besides, if he refused in front of so many people, it would definitely mean he’s involved.
No matter who looks at it, it’d seem like Lei Ting was the one who hired the Assassin.”
“By doing this, you all unknowingly fall into the trap Lei Ting set for you,” Song Yun said, sipping his coffee.
“But if he didn’t do it, why should he take the blame?
You know that Fierce Tiger won’t benefit from your anger,” Long Tiantian said, puzzled.
“And this matter might not even be related to Gulang.”
“Heh, now you realize you’re not smart enough,” Song Yun chuckled, shaking his head.
“Right now, how many people in Sunan can make Lei Ting take the blame?
It’s either you, me, or Gulang, and it’s all about the interest.”
“But when Gulang came out earlier and saw the body, he immediately suggested that Lei Ting might have done it.
Given his intellect, do you think he would say something like that?
Even if Lei Ting were the perpetrator, everyone has their own ideas about it.
So what’s the point of saying it out loud?
It really does invite speculation.”
“That is indeed strange.
Judging by Gulang’s personality and the current situation in Sunan, he would love for you and Lei Ting to fight to the death so he could reap the benefits as the bystander,” Long Tiantian said gravely.
“Even if he didn’t say anything, you would probably know who’s likely behind this.
But now that he’s spoken, it’s different.
It does seem suspicious.”
“Gulang is pushing hard to pin the blame on Lei Ting, but Lei Ting played a trick, leading you to believe from the bottom of your heart that he’s the culprit,” Song Yun sighed.
“Such calculations.”
“So from what you’ve said so far, do you mean to imply that Gulang and Lei Ting have actually teamed up behind the scenes?” Long Tiantian said with a shocked expression.
“Exactly.
I suspect the bait is Gulang wanting to devour the territories of Fierce Tiger,” Song Yun nodded.
“I called you here today not to show off my detective prowess but to warn you to be careful lately.”
“Yeah, I get it,” Long Tiantian said thoughtfully.
“Do you think there could be spies from Gulang around me?”
“It’s hard to say.
There are spies in everyone’s organization,” Song Yun scoffed.
“But what matters is the spy’s rank in your organization.
If used well, that can be a brilliant move; if not, it could drag down the whole organization.”
“Yeah.” Long Tiantian nodded and fell into deep thought again.
After a long while, she finally spoke, “I think I might know who the spy is.
I’ll go back and test her.”
“The waters in Sunan are getting murkier, and even I can only see so much,” Song Yun said indifferently.
“Now, the less I do, the fewer mistakes I make; the more actions I take, the greater the risk of error.”
Meanwhile, at the Xinyue Hotel, the meeting had ended, and Lei Ting, all smiles, escorted all the bosses to the door.
“I hope we can still gather frequently in the future, without growing estranged.”
“Of course, we hope Fierce Tiger will prosper.”
“Heh heh, Fierce Tiger might be a malnourished camel, but it’s still bigger than a horse.
I believe with good integration, it can return to its former glory.”
“Indeed, I believe that under Boss Lei Ting’s leadership, Fierce Tiger will regain its might.”
“Ha-ha, I’ll remember what you’ve all said.
If you ever need anything, I hope you won’t hesitate to ask,” Lei Ting said, laughing heartily.
“It’s getting late; everyone should head back and rest.”
After sending everyone off, Lei Ting’s face darkened as he asked, “Uncle Long, where is that woman now?”
“She’s been placed in a room on the sixth floor,” Da Long cursed openly.
“Damn it, I never would have thought that Song Yun could dodge this assassination.
Lei Ting, you’re sure nobody knows about this thing with Gulang, right?”
“No one knows for sure.
Our plan was seamless.
Plus, I’ve taken all the blame, so who would investigate Gulang’s side?” Lei Ting sneered.
“It’s just that we didn’t kill Song Yun.
Dammit.
Uncle Long, go tell that woman to leave Sunan as soon as possible.
I’m worried Song Yun will grow suspicious when he returns.”
“Okay, I’ll go upstairs then.
You shouldn’t get too worked up.
We’ll have our chance to kill him,” Da Long reassured Lei Ting before taking the elevator away.
Lei Ting sat in the lobby of the hotel, his expression changing as he muttered to himself, “Gulang, oh Gulang, you’re quite the schemer.
But you didn’t see that I’m using the strategy of driving the tiger to devour the wolf.
Once you and Song Yun are both badly hurt, it’ll be my world.”
Da Long went up to the sixth floor and knocked on a door.
The girl who had clearly been dead before was now hopping around, wrapped in just a towel, obviously fresh from a bath.
Da Long, entranced by the girl’s allure, watched as she seemed unashamed and even grew bolder.
He could no longer contain himself, picked her up, tossed her onto the bed, and laughed, “Tonight, you must serve me well.”
“Then you must be gentle with me,” the girl said coyly, looking at Da Long with sultry eyes.
After a tumultuous encounter, Da Long held the girl and asked refreshingly, “How did you manage to fake your death earlier?
I didn’t even notice.”
“Hehe, just a blood pack held in my mouth.
When things got dicey, I just bit it,” she laughed.
“But it only works in chaos.
If that guy had checked just now, it would have been bad.”
