But later I called Sakata Chong, gave him some money, and asked Sakata Chong to help me deal with Shangguan Zhongtang.
Sakata Chong gave me the transaction records with Shangguan Zhongtang. When I saw it, I realized that not only I was a victim, but so many people were victims. This was a very, very serious matter, so I gave you the documents.
This is to explain to you why I have this transaction record and why I gave it to you. First, because I think Shangguan Zhongtang is extremely malicious, and second, because the power I had at the time was not enough to compete with Shangguan Zhongtang. So at that time, I was thinking, if I give you the transaction record, can you take Shangguan Zhongtang down?"
After listening to Su Yang's words, Li Yue fell into thought.
What Su Yang said was indeed reasonable.
It was just that the matter of the assassin falling in love with Su Yang was a bit outrageous.
But then... Li Yue glanced at Su Yang's appearance. With such a face, such a thing was not absolutely impossible.
The matter was reasonable...
"So you came to Sakata Chong to cooperate with him?" Li Yue asked Su Yang.
Su Yang nodded, then shook his head, "Yes and no, President. I am a very vengeful person.
Sakata Chong has sent people to assassinate me more than once. Although it was all under Shangguan Zhongtang's orders, I will not let Sakata Chong go, especially since Sakata Chong is from Sang Country."
"The assassin has become your wife and is going to have children with you, why don't you let Sakata Chong go? Why not? But aren't you still cooperating with Sakata Chong?"
Hearing this, Su Yang pursed his lips, "President, our Long Country stipulates that officials cannot have contact with people from Sang Country, but it does not stipulate that ordinary people cannot cooperate with people from Sang Country, right?
My cooperation is also financial cooperation. Although it is not trade, and I am not genuinely trading with Sakata Chong, I was forced by Shangguan Zhongtang to cooperate with Sakata Chong.
President, you can't just watch ordinary people be forced to death, can you?"
Su Yang spoke with righteous indignation, which inexplicably made Li Yue feel a little guilty.
Compared to Su Yang, Shangguan Zhongtang's power was undoubtedly greater.
Li Yue pursed her lips, "The nature of this is different..."
"What nature, President? If we are still stuck on the nature of the matter at this point, we will really lose our lives."
Hearing Su Yang's words, Li Yue said, "Then what were you thinking before I arrived?"
"I was thinking of cooperating with Sakata Chong to get rid of Shangguan Zhongtang, and then get rid of Sakata Chong."
Li Yue was silent for a moment after hearing this.
Then she looked at Su Yang, a little helplessly, "Even if Shangguan Zhongtang is wicked, he is still an official of Long Country. Can you just get rid of him if you want to?"
Su Yang had actually considered this point. Perhaps Shangguan Zhongtang was making such a big fuss because he thought the same way.
He probably thought that Su Yang was very powerful, but not powerful enough to dare to kill him, after all, Shangguan Zhongtang was one of the military leaders of the nine major departments of Long Country.
High-ranking officials were not to be trifled with.
But Su Yang was even more difficult to deal with.
Su Yang cooperating with people from Sang Country and asking them to leave some alive was also for this reason.
If Shangguan Zhongtang died, it would be the people from Sang Country who killed him. By leaving some alive, Su Yang could take Shangguan Zhongtang back to claim credit.
As for Shangguan Qianji's request for Su Yang to personally kill Shangguan Zhongtang, after returning to Long Country, Shangguan Zhongtang's crimes would be confirmed, and it would not be impossible for Su Yang, as a meritorious official, to be given a chance to execute him.
He could not say these words to Li Yue, as Li Yue's identity was extremely special.
Su Yang remained silent. Li Yue was silent for a moment, and then said, "I will trust you for now, but I will handle the matter of Shangguan Zhongtang. I have brought a lot of power this time. You must not cooperate with Sakata Chong anymore."
"What?"
Su Yang knew that Li Yue had brought a lot of power, but he had not expected Li Yue to say this to him.
He pursed his lips and looked at Li Yue, "President, you don't know the details of this matter. Shangguan Zhongtang has treated me too harshly. Even if Long Country punishes him later, it will be difficult to quell my hatred.
There must be a duel between Shangguan Zhongtang and me.
Besides that, I can cooperate with you on anything."
Looking at the determined light in Su Yang's eyes, Li Yue didn't know what to say for a moment.
In the Long Country of this world, such situations were common. It was not strange for Su Yang to have a duel with Shangguan Zhongtang.
Before, Li Yue had ignored the letters from Qingcheng and let Su Yang do whatever he wanted with the eight great families of Qingcheng, precisely because of this.
The reason why Li Yue now asked Su Yang to stop was because Li Yue had arrived, and this was in Sang Country.
In Sang Country, regardless of whether there was a reason or not, it would carry some negative connotations.
Li Yue pursed her lips, "I will cooperate with you."
Saying that, Li Yue extended her hand to Su Yang.
This sudden agreement to cooperate surprised Su Yang. He tentatively reached out his hand to Li Yue, but Li Yue withdrew her hand.
"But I have one condition."
Su Yang tilted his head and looked at Li Yue, asking, "What condition?"
"You must guarantee that you have absolutely no collusion with Sang Country."
Su Yang thought it was something else.
After hearing Li Yue's words, he immediately extended his hand and swore, "I swear to you, okay? I, Su Yang, will absolutely not have any collusion with Sang Country that violates the interests of Long Country. If I do, may I and all my relatives, including myself, die a horrible death."
Hearing Su Yang's words, Li Yue was relieved.
Although men's words were deceptive, since Su Yang dared to swear on his relatives, he should be trustworthy.
After listening to Su Yang's words, Li Yue extended her hand to Su Yang again, looked at Su Yang, and said, "Pleasure cooperating with you."
This was the nth "Pleasure cooperating with you" Su Yang had heard recently.
He clasped Li Yue's hand and said, "Pleasure cooperating with you."
[Current mission: Conquer Li Yue.]
Su Yang: ...?
Su Yang roared in his heart at the system: "Damn it!!! System, do you want to take a look at who this person is?!!!"
The system's flippant voice echoed in Su Yang's mind: "Don't you want to have her if you can? Look how good the President's figure and appearance are? Don't you want her?"
"...Shouldn't you take a look at who she is first...? The President of Long Country's Dragon Association, the daughter of one of the three great thrones..."
