"Unfortunately, no matter how clever you are, you still fell for my conspiracy."
Rong Shaoze’s eyes flickered slightly as he openly admitted:
"That’s right, no matter how clever I am, I still fell for your schemes. From the beginning, the Black Hawk Gang driving up prices and competing with me for business was the Mafia pulling the strings behind the scenes, wasn’t it?
The goal was to have me clash with the Black Hawk Gang, giving them an excuse to try to assassinate me and make everything that followed seem justified.
It turns out that from the beginning, all of this was a plot."
His gaze turned slightly chilling; he paused, then continued:
"When I was attacked in Hainan, I suspected that it was Rong Mingyan who sent someone to assassinate me. I didn’t expect it to be the Black Hawk Gang, so I didn’t take the necessary precautions. This allowed them to take the opportunity to kidnap Xinlan.
Only now do I know that I’ve been misled all along.
I always thought it was Rong Mingyan opposing me, so I focused all my suspicions on him and completely overlooked the Mafia.
If it hadn’t been for Rong Mingyan diverting my attention, just by the Black Hawk Gang’s assassination attempt, I could have quickly figured out it was the Mafia. I wouldn’t have blindly assumed it was Rong Mingyan without investigating anything!
If I had known it was the Mafia, I would have thought about their motives, and your scheme wouldn’t have succeeded!"
The man raised his eyebrows slightly; he hadn’t expected that Rong Shaoze would be this perceptive, even figuring out these details.
"What does it matter if you guessed everything correctly? You’re now like a fish trapped in a net, with only one path left—death!"
Rong Shaoze snorted coldly, his voice deep and terrifying.
"Why did I suspect that it was Rong Mingyan opposing me? Because he framed me twice, so I blamed everything on him! But coincidently, Rong Mingyan was dealing with me while you were secretly plotting against me, and all these events were interconnected and happened to coincide. What does that tell us?"
His sharp gaze fixed on the man in the mask, and his thin lips slowly parted:
"It means that Rong Mingyan is involved with the Mafia. From the start to the end, everything was part of his plan. Rong Mingyan, did you think that by wearing a mask and changing your voice, I wouldn’t recognize you?!"
Lin Xinlan exclaimed, her pupils dilating several times in shock.
She looked at the man beside her, and upon closer inspection, she discovered traces of Rong Mingyan on him.
Even if he was wearing a mask and had changed his voice, he couldn’t change his stature.
He was actually Rong Mingyan!
But wasn’t he Rong Shaoze’s cousin?
Even if the two of them had no affection, they still had family ties.
Why would he want to harm Rong Shaoze?
The man chuckled softly, reaching up to remove the mask, revealing a face that was indeed Rong Mingyan’s.
He stopped altering his voice and spoke in his natural tone, admiringly saying: "Rong Shaoze, I thought at the very least you wouldn’t see through my identity. I didn’t expect you to still figure it out."
Having confirmed his suspicion, Rong Shaoze grew even more resentful.
If he had known, he would have killed him with a single shot back in B City!
Then none of this would have happened!
"Rong Mingyan, it turns out the several times you framed me were just to shift my focus. I really underestimated you!"
He thought that Rong Mingyan was just trying to wrestle for control of Shengjue by framing him repeatedly.
And for his grandfather’s sake, he didn’t take Mingyan’s life, only wanting to teach him a lesson and show him how formidable he was.
How could he have imagined that Rong Mingyan was connected to the Mafia and even meticulously laid out such a grand conspiracy just to kill him?
