If Shangguan Zhongtang were to return, there would be nothing much to do, as the information Su Yang had given to the Dragon Association's president was enough to get Shangguan Zhongtang killed.
However, it would be faster to directly capture Shangguan Zhongtang in Sangguo than to have him return.
Moreover, if Shangguan Zhongtang were not in Sangguo, he might resist. One didn't know what abilities he might still possess, and what if he destroyed that information? That would be disastrous.
Upon hearing Su Yang's words, Shangguan Qianji fell silent for a moment, then said, "Alright, I'll ask. But... you know his attitude towards me.
Even though Shangguan Yi is dead now and his attitude towards me has improved slightly, he still doesn't fully consider me his confidant. I'm not sure if he'll truly tell me everything about his next move. You'd best be prepared."
After speaking, Shangguan Qianji was silent for a while, then said again, "Boss Su, Shangguan Zhongtang must die. You promised me that, and my trump cards are all in your hands. The process of this matter can change, but the final outcome absolutely cannot. Do you understand?"
Hearing Shangguan Qianji's words, Su Yang understood what Shangguan Qianji was worried about.
He was worried, and Su Yang was equally worried, but he didn't have the complex emotions that Shangguan Qianji did.
Su Yang chuckled, "Don't worry too much. There will be some variables in the process, but the outcome will definitely not change. Just watch. Let me reveal some information to you. If you still have informants above, you'll know something within two hours."
Hearing Su Yang's words, Shangguan Qianji was stunned. "What situation?"
Su Yang smiled, "You'll know when you wait and see. Hurry up and gather intelligence for me now so I can plan further.
I'm telling you this in advance to give you a shot of confidence. Even if Shangguan Zhongtang doesn't confront me now, he will still die. Don't worry."
After speaking, Su Yang hung up the phone without waiting for Shangguan Qianji to ask further.
Shangguan Qianji, far away in Kyoto, frowned, his face full of confusion.
Then he beckoned, and a person emerged from the darkness.
"Boss."
"Contact the people in the Dragon Association and see what's happening." After thinking for a moment, he added, "Inquire again after two hours."
Although Shangguan Qianji's status was not particularly brilliant, he was, after all, the son of a military commander.
And in situations like Shangguan Qianji's, many people understood that it was unknown who would inherit the military commander's position until the very end.
Shangguan Qianji had also leveraged this point to gain some connections within the higher echelons.
And his connections were not like those of Tang Shanhe in Qingcheng; they were permitted.
The military commander and the Dragon Association were allowed to have contact.
After arranging for his subordinate, Shangguan Qianji took out his mobile phone and called Shangguan Zhongtang.
He called once, but Shangguan Zhongtang didn't answer. Shangguan Qianji relayed this information to Su Yang, who also didn't reply.
Su Yang naturally wouldn't reply to Shangguan Qianji in this situation. Su Yang only needed the result; he wouldn't bother with such uninformative replies.
Su Yang didn't reply, and Shangguan Zhongtang didn't reply. Shangguan Qianji was at a loss for what to do next.
But the arrow was already on the string and had to be shot. After hesitating for a moment, he called Shangguan Zhongtang again.
This time, Shangguan Zhongtang answered.
"Hello?"
The voice was extremely heavy with emotion. Even though Shangguan Qianji had been plotting to kill Shangguan Zhongtang, he couldn't help but feel a little intimidated by Shangguan Zhongtang's tone.
"Father?"
"Are you recovered? Why are you calling instead of resting well?"
Shangguan Qianji pursed his lips, "Your son is a little better. I was worried about your situation, so I wanted to call and ask."
Saying the word "son," Shangguan Qianji felt a bit uncomfortable. He didn't want to be Shangguan Zhongtang's son.
But it was unavoidable; he couldn't choose his blood relations.
Moreover, by calling himself "son" in front of Shangguan Zhongtang, Shangguan Qianji was also trying to remind Shangguan Zhongtang that his legitimate son was now dead.
Although Shangguan Qianji was an illegitimate son, he was now Shangguan Zhongtang's only son.
Shangguan Zhongtang couldn't change this fact.
As expected, after Shangguan Qianji finished speaking, Shangguan Zhongtang's tone softened.
In fact, Shangguan Yi had always been somewhat dissolute and didn't listen to Shangguan Zhongtang much, otherwise, he wouldn't have been captured by Su Yang.
He didn't listen to Shangguan Zhongtang because Shangguan Zhongtang had doted on him since childhood.
Naturally, Shangguan Yi hadn't paid much attention to Shangguan Zhongtang.
Now, facing the concern of his only son, Shangguan Zhongtang felt a warmth in his heart for some reason.
"That brat Su Yang actually dared to provoke me. At this critical juncture, he still dared to travel to Sangguo. We can't find his ship now, and the Yangweihao has mysteriously disappeared.
All we know is that he was going to Sangguo."
"Ah?" Shangguan Qianji didn't know Su Yang's plan, so he just followed Su Yang's instructions.
"Then are you going to Sangguo to chase him, Father? That's Sangguo, not like our Longguo..."
"Of course, I'm going!" Shangguan Zhongtang's voice boomed, "Not going would be letting that brat Su Yang piss on my head! I, Shangguan Zhongtang, have been in Longguo for so many years, who doesn't treat me with respect?! How can I let that scoundrel Su Yang suppress me?!
This time, I will definitely take Su Yang's head back to mourn your brother!"
After speaking, perhaps because Shangguan Zhongtang was enraged, he immediately hung up the phone.
Shangguan Qianji held his mobile phone and smiled.
"Boss Su."
After ending the call with Shangguan Zhongtang, Shangguan Qianji called Su Yang.
Su Yang answered the call and waited for Shangguan Qianji to speak.
"Shangguan Zhongtang is going to hunt you down and wants to take your head to mourn that scoundrel Shangguan Yi."
Hearing this, Su Yang chuckled and said, "Then I'll wait for him to come and take my head. Let's see who gets the last laugh in the end."
After speaking, Su Yang hung up the phone.
The Yangweihao had been submerged and had been diving deeper, not moving forward much.
Su Yang was waiting for Shangguan Qianji's news before taking the next step.
After hanging up the phone, Su Yang said to the control panel in the cockpit, "Yangweihao, full speed towards Sangguo."
