Inside the banquet hall, Li Bingqing's eyes widened at Song Qiao's words.
"How am I playing dirty?"
"That guy wasn't sent by me."
Before coming, she had no intention of playing dirty this time.
"Then why did you order that guy to make a move?"
Song Qiao's slightly mocking questioning immediately made Li Bingqing choke.
She had indeed misunderstood. When she saw the assassin, she thought it was someone her subordinates had arranged. She wanted to salvage the situation, but she unexpectedly almost died.
"Lost for words?"
"In my opinion, even if that guy wasn't arranged by you, he's still related to you, right?"
Song Qiao's expression turned cold. He had been blinded by anger at the time, thinking the assassin was arranged by Li Bingqing, without considering the logic of the situation.
But Li Bingqing herself also thought it was someone from her side who arranged it, which likely meant there was another force behind this woman that she couldn't control.
At this moment, Mo Ling, who was standing nearby, quickly stepped forward, trying to ease the atmosphere.
"Song Qiao, I think the attacker this time is likely a third party."
"This force should have no connection to either of us. That assassin actually wanted to kill both of us simultaneously, which might be another force wanting to reap the benefits."
She made a guess based on her intuition.
However, Song Qiao smiled slightly, looking at Li Bingqing with some sarcasm.
Because he knew who this third party was.
"I say, Miss Mo, the third party you're guessing might be related to Li Bingqing."
His meaningful words made Li Bingqing's expression falter.
"Related to her?"
Mo Ling was startled.
"Actually, I've already investigated. This third party is the Hai Ning Gang."
"And what you don't know is that Li Bingqing, who is by your side, has already established contact with this Hai Ning Gang."
Before they came, Ye Zhiwei's side had already found out the results and discovered that Li Bingqing had actually contacted the Hai Ning Gang.
Although it seemed no cooperation had been reached yet, this was an extremely dangerous matter.
"What! This... How is this possible?"
Mo Ling's eyes widened in surprise, appearing somewhat flustered.
Song Qiao's expression grew colder.
"How could it not be possible?"
"They've made more than one move. Before, I also suffered a series of chase attacks from them. It was the Hai Ning Gang who made the move."
Speaking of this, he turned to look at Li Bingqing.
"Although Li Bingqing is unlikely to attack you, Mo Ling, she hates anyone who helps the Ye family or helps me. That's why Deng Yihan was attacked before."
Song Qiao had already considered why the other party would target Deng Yihan.
The conclusion was only one: someone couldn't stand seeing the Deng family helping them.
He and Sheng Xiong had no past grievances, so it could only be Li Bingqing.
At this point, all of Li Bingqing's hidden actions were exposed.
She gritted her teeth and glared at Song Qiao, her eyes full of anger, looking as if she could devour him, but she remained silent.
After all, she had nothing to say in this matter.
Song Qiao had analyzed almost everything she had done.
"Li Bingqing, I warn you. The next time we meet will be your death. This time, I'll spare you for Miss Mo's sake."
After exposing Li Bingqing, Song Qiao couldn't be bothered to stay any longer, so he turned and pulled Ye Zhiwei away.
After the two left, Mo Ling clenched her fist and looked at Li Bingqing with a complicated expression.
"Tell me honestly!"
"Was that assassin arranged by you?"
She asked almost every word, previously very sure, but now she dared not believe Li Bingqing in front of her.
"I..."
After Song Qiao left, the angry expression on Li Bingqing's face disappeared.
"I didn't arrange it."
"Really not."
"Okay, I believe you."
Mo Ling nodded, which was considered a satisfactory answer for herself.
But Li Bingqing could only see immense disappointment in her eyes. The trust between them had been completely broken.
"I never thought of attacking you."
She was somewhat helpless.
"I didn't expect Sheng Xiong's people to be so ruthless."
These words made Mo Ling sigh.
"I've dealt with Sheng Xiong before. She's always like this. Standing with her is definitely a wrong decision."
"You will regret it."
However, these words seemed to make Li Bingqing's suppressed emotions erupt!
"Regret?"
"Hahaha, what if I regret it?"
She smiled with a cold expression.
"I'm not reconciled!"
"Mo Ling, I'm not reconciled at all!"
"Why should I lose to Ye Zhiwei, who doesn't understand anything? Why should I lose to a seemingly useless Song Qiao?"
As she spoke, a tear trace slowly flowed down the corner of her eye.
"I... I just don't want to lose, and I'm unwilling to lose..."
Li Bingqing trembled slightly. She had almost never lost in her life, and her previous crushing defeat seemed to have become an obsession.
She would rather die than lose to Song Qiao.
Mo Ling looked at Li Bingqing's agitated expression and ultimately did not say more resolute words.
It seemed that as long as the assassin was not sent by Li Bingqing, there was still room for reconciliation.
But not now.
"Our cooperation will be temporarily suspended starting today. I will no longer get involved in your matters with the Ye family."
"We'll talk about cooperation after you've sorted out your relationship with the Hai Ning Gang."
"Until then, we have no relationship between us."
With that, Mo Ling turned and quickly left the banquet hall.
