“Tell me what you know.”
Zhao Li endured the pain as he received treatment from the medical team.
“I’ve been in the organization for seven years. In these seven years, we’ve only been in charge of one mission. To be honest, we’ve long been tired of it.”
Bo Jinchuan narrowed his eyes and asked coldly, “Just to kill Shen Fanxing?”
Zhao Li immediately shook his head. “Not only Shen Fanxing, but also… her mother.”
Bo Jinchuan’s eyes widened and even Yu Song was shocked.
“So, you were the ones who caused her mother to fall into the sea?”
Zhao Li nodded before shaking his head. “No…”
At this point, he seemed to have thought of something and suddenly laughed.
“Haha… That woman… That woman is too smart! So smart that if she doesn’t die, our boss will be the one to die!
We were very sure that there was no leak back then, but she was already on guard against us. She even found out from our boss who wanted to assassinate her…
She’s really arrogant. She clearly had many ways to get the news from our boss’s subordinates, but she wanted our boss to tell her personally… Boss has lost face. Since she knows who the employer is, we can’t let her stay. That day, we went to the Shen family’s banquet… Ha… She really drove us crazy!”
“Madam Shen died on that ship. If not for you, who would have the chance to touch her?”
At the side, Yu Song couldn’t wait to speak up. He had found out a lot about Madam’s mother back then, so it was impossible for him not to know that something had happened on the cruise.
“It’s her!”
Zhao Li suddenly shouted, “She jumped down herself!”
“Impossible!” Yu Song denied firmly. “Based on her personality, she’s not someone who would commit suicide! Moreover, she clearly knows that your target is not only her but also her daughter! She would want to leave all her assets to her daughter, let alone abandon her!”
Zhao Li sneered at first, then burst into laughter. “Look, look, even you think so, right? That’s why I said that the woman is so smart that it makes one’s hair stand on end! She’s too good at guessing people’s hearts and playing us like fools!”
Yu Song frowned and looked at Bo Jinchuan, only to see him remaining unmoved.
“What exactly happened?”
Zhao Li’s actions had affected the wounds on his body. His expression turned pained and he smiled bitterly.
“You must have investigated everything that happened to Ji Fengmian and Shen Fanxing in the past few years, right? Didn’t you realize that ever since Ji Fengmian jumped into the sea and ‘died’, we didn’t do anything for a few years? Shen Fanxing is Ji Fengmian’s daughter. Other than being bullied by the Chen family, she isn’t in any danger, right?”
Yu Song pursed his lips. He had discovered this matter. Hence, he had always suspected that Ji Fengmian’s death was caused by Shen Defan falling in love with someone else and wanting to support his mistress.
There were rumors in the circle that the Shen family had brought home their mistress and illegitimate daughter…
It seemed reasonable for the Chen family to kill Ji Fengmian.
But there was no evidence.
Hence, he understood why everyone said that it was the Shen family who had killed Ji Fengmian. Only Madam refused to do anything to the Shen family.
So there was really something else mixed in.
Except…
“Since something happened to Madam Shen at that time and her daughter lost her protection, why didn’t you kill her daughter? Instead…”
Before Yu Song could finish his sentence, Bo Jinchuan, who had been silent all this while, suddenly looked up at him. His cold gaze made him shiver uncontrollably. He immediately pursed his lips and stopped talking!
It was also his mistake to suggest that they should kill Madam in front of Master…
Before Yu Song could finish speaking, Zhao Li understood his confusion.
Hence, she took the initiative to say,
“Ji Fengmian’s business involves all walks of life. Most importantly, she helped Jiang Rongrong to support Lan Yun Entertainment in the past two years. It became one of the top entertainment agencies in Ping Cheng City and received the attention of the media both domestically and abroad! The Shen family has also become the focus of attention! She is Mrs. Shen. If such a thing happens, it will definitely cause a huge uproar.”
Back then, everyone had targeted the Shen family. The Shen family was already frightened. If anything happened to Shen Fanxing, this matter would definitely be dug up. If anyone discovered anything amiss, it would be the most foolish thing for the employer to expose his identity.
Therefore, the employer chose not to make a move on Ji Fengmian’s daughter so that she wouldn’t be exposed. In addition, the businesses that Ji Fengmian had left for her daughter were made after she found out who wanted to assassinate them! Think about it, other than her daughter’s confidence in the Shen family and her future after leaving the family, the most important thing was to tell the employer that as long as they knew their place, her daughter’s existence wouldn’t threaten them!
“Ji Fengmian… Every word and every thing she said and did had thousands of meanings. Even if you had guessed one of her intentions back then, after a long time, when everything had been decided, you finally realized that her ultimate goal was actually another or more! And if you want to regret it… Ha, there’s no room for you to regret it. It’s said that a drunkard’s motive is not to drink, and it’s fine if you create a diversion, but she’s a drunkard. She cares about alcohol, and she’s determined to get other things!
Everything had been calculated and done flawlessly. Tell me, is this woman scary or not?!”
Upon hearing Zhao Li’s words, Yu Song was extremely shocked.
Mrs Shen had chosen to jump into the sea. In exchange, her daughter would not fall into a dangerous situation where she would be alone and helpless. Instead, it would open up a safe path for her.
She supported the Shen family and left all her assets to her daughter. All of this was to protect her daughter.
If Zhao Li hadn’t said all these, he probably wouldn’t have thought so deeply.
These were things that Zhao Li and the others had comprehended after seven years.
The plan was so meticulous.
Seven years…
How impressive.
“Since you already know that Shen Fanxing’s existence won’t threaten your employer, why are you suddenly thinking of assassinating her?”
“Why? Ha…”
