Chapter 1270: Chapter 1249: Just Using Connections

"What do you think, the moment Xiao Zhenfeng gets off the plane and heads straight to Murong’s Private Residence, will there be any noise?" Among the few of them, Shao Weihua was the happiest; what he feared most was that Xiao Zhenfeng wouldn’t come. "Two of the Five Conglomerates are dead; who knows who the next unlucky one will be. Murong Lengyue personally went to pick him up—looks like even he has times when he’s scared."

Sitting to the side, Shao Qinyi shot Shao Weihua a cold glance, then fixed his eyes on Wang Zhanting. "The Rose Staff is still in your hands? You think Xiao Zhenfeng would just casually carry the Dharma Seal around with him?"

"I don’t have any particular thoughts about the underworld, but it’s a path we can take. Didn’t Chairman Quan think so too back then? Wasn’t taking Xiao Zhenfeng out in Palermo itself one of the original plans?" Wang Zhanting lifted his wine glass and voiced his doubts. No matter how he looked at it, Shao Qinyi didn’t seem like someone acting in their interest; this feeling of being laid out on someone else’s chopping block had made him uneasy the whole night. "I just think that when Xiao Zhenfeng showed up in Palermo, we should have moved in time to eliminate him. As for the Dharma Seal for the robbery blessing, I can find someone to handle it—provided we can kill or at least pin down Xiao Zhenfeng."

"The person you’re talking about, if I’m not mistaken, is that guy surnamed Gu, isn’t it, heh heh!" That all-knowing expression of Shao Qinyi’s only further stoked Wang Zhanting’s displeasure, but out of consideration for Shao Weihua at his side, he forced it down. After all, right now he was a man without power or influence, a man without status—aside from some money, he was nothing.

The dissatisfaction flared for an instant and then was snuffed out. Wang Zhanting chuckled. "Qin Yi, we can’t be considered strangers anymore; we’ve crossed paths a few times. Even if our positions differ, we’re still people on the same road, all serving Chairman Quan. What matters most now is getting the job done, before a long night breeds too many dreams."

"Yes, Shao Qinyi, Zhan Ting isn’t wrong. I’ve heard him mention that guy surnamed Gu too. They say his skills are extraordinary, and to this day there’s nothing he hasn’t been able to steal. If we can kill two birds with one stone, all the better. I can claw back some face in front of Chairman Quan, and you won’t be put in such a tight spot, right?" Shao Weihua chimed in at this point, looking casual but harboring malicious intent. Someone as sharp and shrewd as Shao Qinyi could hardly fail to see it. So the two of them had come tonight for this purpose? He sneered inwardly and raised his glass.

"It’s rare to see you this serious; of course I’ll assist to the end. I’ll talk to Chairman Quan, but if we can’t deliver on this guarantee, then not even a heavenly immortal could help you. Right now, if you pull back and obediently stay on the sidelines, you can at least keep your life."

"Shao Qinyi!" The three syllables were practically squeezed out through Shao Weihua’s teeth. They weren’t the only ones in this private room; did this man only know how to make him lose face?

"Enough. Since Xiao Zhenfeng is already in Palermo, I’d guess the Black Crow bunch won’t be taking orders from you anymore. At the moment, do you have anyone left in your hands who can stand against them?"

"Has Shao Junwei already come up with some thorough plan?" Thinking of taking out Xiao Zhenfeng by relying on Shao Weihua alone was nothing but a fool’s dream. Wang Zhanting’s slick eyes rolled as he started calculating another account in his heart.

"A scheme to sow discord." Shao Qinyi slowly spat out three words, leaving the two of them rather puzzled. "You girls, out." He shooed away the hostesses and turned down the volume. "Now that two of the Five Conglomerates are dead, it’s no small blow to the Murong Family as well. If the other side keeps striking, the Murong Clan might not be able to spare any attention for us when the time comes. So we need to use this chance to sharpen the conflict between the two families."

Wang Zhanting understood what Shao Qinyi meant, but Shao Weihua at his side was still somewhat hesitant. "Although it’s feasible, Xiao Zhenfeng still favors Xiao Lin. It won’t be that easy." Wang Zhanting pondered for a moment. "Of all people, I know Xiao Lin’s strength best."

"Don’t forget, there’s another key figure in this, someone fatal. As long as Xiao Lin is still interested in that woman, the Murong Family will inevitably bring pressure to bear on the Xiao Family. When that happens, whose side Murong Lengyue stands on is still unknown. You should know that jealousy can change a person."

After hearing this, Wang Zhanting chuckled. "As for Murong Lengyue’s side, I’ll have to trouble Shao Junwei to give us some guidance. Right now, the only person we can use is Mu Rongyun, though Fourth Master’s death has caused a bit of trouble."

"Mu Rongyun?" Shao Qinyi was quite surprised. He had heard rumors back in Yanjing, but after coming to Palermo, this man had seemingly vanished. That Shao Weihua would have dealings with such a person was beyond his expectations. "There’s a question I’ve had for a while—how did you end up in contact with Mu Rongyun?"

"Sigh." Wang Zhanting let out a sigh. "I don’t know if you still remember that case in the northern district of Yanjing. It was then that Fourth Master, under Mu Rongyun, came looking for us. But now that man is dead; I don’t know if Mu Rongyun will carry on. One thing is certain though: his hatred for the Xiao Family is extremely intense, and the Rose Staff is also in his hands. That other man named Hong Lian is with him as well, though he rarely shows his face. Under normal circumstances, it’s that Fourth Master who handled matters."

"Mm, find a time—I want to meet this legendary figure myself. There might still be ways to use him. In any case, this time we must kill Xiao Zhenfeng here. Once he’s dead, everyone else is just clouds drifting by."

"Killing Xiao Zhenfeng is easier said than done. If it were Xiao Lin, at least we’d have some handle on him. But no one knows how strong Xiao Zhenfeng really is. What ability do you have to guarantee killing him? Besides, there are those troublesome Black Crow people, and doesn’t he have some elusive bodyguard at his side?" At this point, Shao Weihua let out a cold snort, clearly trying to use this to press Shao Qinyi down. "You know that if one strike misses, it brings death down on our heads. We’re not exactly the type to be wielding knives and guns."

"Which is why I need you to introduce me to that mysterious figure. We don’t have anyone who can match them, but isn’t there still the Murong Family and this Mu Rongyun?" Shao Qinyi smiled and pressed his palm onto Shao Weihua’s shoulder, then leaned in to whisper a few words in his ear before turning to leave the private room.

"What’s wrong with you?" Seeing the strange expression on Shao Weihua’s face, Wang Zhanting set down the wine he’d been about to drink. "What did he say to shock you like that?"

"N-nothing!" Shao Weihua seemed to wake up from a dream and shook his head.

"Weihua, to be honest, that younger brother of yours doesn’t look all that reliable."

"We’re just using each other. Trash like him isn’t fit to cooperate with me."
