However, before he could unlock the screen for him, Vance spoke with a solemn expression, "Brother Luo, please wait a moment."
Luo Gang looked up at him, his eyes filled with confusion.
Vance didn't play coy, his voice heavy as he said, "Brother Luo, given the current situation, I think you really need to reconsider. You did plan how to deal with the stolen Star Seeker secrets before, but now this video has suddenly appeared, catching you off guard. Let's analyze it first."
Luo Gang frowned, remaining silent. He had lost all appetite for drinking and watched Vance coldly, waiting for him to continue.
Vance ate or drank nothing, placing his hands flat on the table. He looked at Luo Gang and calmly said, "Think about it, in this situation, Star Seeker will definitely release your video. Then He Xia will find a way to clear her name and push all the blame onto you. Your previous rebuttals will be useless against this video, and the final outcome, I believe, will be you being the one pushed out."
Luo Gang's expression darkened further, his eyes even containing a thick layer of anger. What Vance said made a lot of sense.
"Continue," Luo Gang said sternly, saying nothing else.
Vance immediately nodded and continued his analysis, "But conversely, if you cooperate with Mu Yinyin as she suggested, perhaps Mu Yinyin might genuinely give up pursuing you."
Luo Gang let out a cold laugh, "Do you think after what I've done, she can still avoid pursuing me?"
Vance sighed and said, "If you continue to insist on being on He Xia's side, then no matter if He Xia succeeds or not, Star Seeker will never want you again. Then, to put it bluntly, you will have no further value to her. How could she possibly let you remain a shareholder in Mu Corporation?"
Luo Gang's face grew even uglier.
He understood that He Xia would think that if he could betray Star Seeker now, he could betray Mu Corporation later.
He had known this at the time, but he felt that taking down Star Seeker would bring him greater benefits. Even if Mu Corporation had such thoughts, they would still need him, and he could firmly establish himself in Mu Corporation before taking down Star Seeker, making it impossible for them to do anything to him.
But...
He had only taken the first step, hadn't even fully capitalized on the market trend, and hadn't gained much benefit yet, and now he was in this state. He was truly going mad with anger!
"So I think you should find Mu Yinyin now and..."
Before he could finish speaking, Luo Gang gritted his teeth and interrupted, "Are you telling me I still need to go and apologize to her?!"
Vance sighed helplessly, "If you side with He Xia, she will only drag you out to take the blame because she knows you'll have no further value to her. But on the other hand, if you are willing to sincerely repent and help Mu Yinyin take down Star Seeker..."
"Do you think, given her personality, she would do that?!"
"Let me finish first." Vance saw Luo Gang's somber expression and his patient waiting, so he quickly continued, "You can tell Mu Yinyin that you are willing to sincerely help her bring down He Xia this time. You can say you were angered by He Xia's actions and want to bring down Mu Corporation, willing to work with Mu Yinyin from the inside and outside to make Mu Corporation completely collapse. In that case, I think the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and she would definitely be willing to keep you."
Luo Gang pursed his lips, his face grim and silent.
Vance pressed on, "As for losing face at the shareholder meeting today, I think that can also be explained later. You can say you feared there was a real mole, and if you didn't act convincingly at the shareholder meeting, the Mu Corporation side wouldn't believe it. So, the whole 'mole' business was just an act you and Mu Yinyin put on together."
Luo Gang's eyes flickered, "This plan..."
It was indeed feasible.
He didn't voice the last few words, clearly deep in thought, considering any potential flaws.
Seeing his silence, Vance didn't rush to say anything else, as if giving Luo Gang time to digest and consider.
Luo Gang's brow remained tightly furrowed. He hadn't put down the phone in his hand, his expression incredibly complex.
What his assistant said did make sense, but...
His gaze became increasingly conflicted.
Vance, seeing that it was about time, spoke again, "Brother Luo, as you can see from this incident, if you stick with He Xia, you'll lose your chance with both sides. But if you go with Mu Yinyin, at least you still have a chance to fight."
Luo Gang clenched his fists, remaining silent.
But he recalled Mu Yinyin's words during the meeting, that she was still giving him a chance, depending on whether he would cherish it.
Vance sighed lightly, "Before, you decided to cooperate with Mu Corporation because you didn't know Mu Yinyin's current strength. But now look at the situation, Fu Si Ye and Lu Si Nian both chose her, protected her. Do you really think she's much worse than He Cheng Kui and He Xia? Perhaps... following Star Seeker is your hope, Brother Luo."
Luo Gang's eyes grew increasingly complex. Seeing that he no longer intended to call the man, Vance spoke, "Brother Luo, what are your plans now?"
"What plans can I have?" Luo Gang couldn't help but laugh mockingly. "Damn it, I never expected He Xia to do something so stupid! If not for this, we would have surely won this time, but now?! Forget about me, even Mu Corporation is going to be ruined! If this incident becomes true, Mu Corporation's reputation will be completely destroyed, and I'll be finished too!"
Vance immediately nodded, "Exactly. So He Xia is truly unreliable. Regardless of what happens, you can't trust her anymore."
Saying this, Vance also sighed helplessly.
Both of them fell silent.
Vance knew it was time to stop.
The atmosphere in the living room was extremely somber.
Meanwhile.
Mu Yinyin, whom they had been discussing, was in her office, listening to her assistant's report.
"Ms. Mu, everything is going relatively smoothly. Luo Gang has given up the thought of cooperating with He Xia."
Mu Yinyin raised an eyebrow, unsurprised, "Continue to keep an eye on him. If there are any unexpected developments, inform me immediately."
The assistant immediately nodded, "Understood. What are your next arrangements?"
"Has there been any feedback from Mu Corporation?"
"Their clarification should arrive soon," the assistant replied respectfully.
Mu Yinyin nodded, "Then we'll wait for their response. You can call me anytime."
"Okay."
However, just as the assistant thought there was nothing else and was about to leave, his phone suddenly vibrated.
