The Night Emperor said a few words of kindness and power, and then raised a topic for everyone to speak freely.
Sitting diagonally across from Shang Yu was a somewhat fat, blond, middle-aged man. When someone mentioned the word "cooperation," he immediately made a plan and said in a provocative tone, "There is a Lingwan Island in the waters surrounding Country Y.
You must have heard of it, right?"
Everyone looked at him.
"Lingwan Island has an advantageous geographical location and a large area. I am very interested in this island, but to be honest, it is really difficult for me to take over this island by myself. It is better for us to cooperate..."
He made this plan loudly and everyone understood it.
He took a fancy to the huge profits that the development of Lingwan Island could bring.
"Mr. Bryan, I think we can discuss this matter in further detail."
Next to him, a man about the same age as him said with a smile.
Two more people wanted to participate in this matter, while the rest remained silent. Some of them were simply not interested in this matter, while others felt it was inappropriate.
Rong Lingling and Nan Jinhuai are the latter.
After leaving the central villa and returning to their residence, Rong Lingling, Nan Jinhuai, and Ke Lingye sat in the yard drinking tea.
"Do you think the Lu family will take action this time?"
After taking a sip of tea, he slowly put down the cup and asked Rong Lingling.
Lingwan Island is not something you can move if you want.
"Lingwan Island is the territory of the Lu family of Donglingzhou. Not many people know about this, so it is normal for some people to be careless." Ke Lingye said.
"Since you don't have any sense, let's go explore the way." Nan Jinhuai answered, with a mixture of indifference and calculation in his eyes.
Brian doesn't know, and those people who are also dazzled by interests don't know, but it doesn't mean that the rest of the people don't know either. At the very least, the Lord of the Eternal Night City outside the territory, the Night Emperor, definitely knows, but like them, he doesn't want to
Just saying.
The Lu family will not just watch others covet their own things, and the Lu family has not participated in the overt and secret struggles of the outside world for thirty years. After such a long time, it is time to come out and take a look.
But they don't want to confront the Lu family over the matter of Lingwan Island. They might as well let Brian and the others take the blame for this evil person.
Who makes them unable to let go of their interests?
"Ling Ye, did you discover anything today?"
"Before, people around A Ji risked their lives to send me news, saying that A Ji fell into the hands of people from Yongye City outside the territory and was injured. I ordered people to investigate, and it was not until yesterday that I got the accurate news. Ah Ji
Ji is now trapped in the Song family."
"It's just that the Song family is quite capable." He stroked the white porcelain cup with one hand, his long black hair hanging down, and the expression on his face did not change, but the two people on the side could clearly hear the gloom in Rong Lingling's tone. p>
"I have a piece of gossip about the Song family here." Nan Jinhuai spoke, attracting the attention of the two people.
Nan Jinhuai is not a person who talks nonsense, and the gossip he tells may not be of help to them.
"Some time ago, the eldest young master of the Song family came to me and said that it was the head of the Song family who wanted to cooperate with me."
The Song family and the Nan family are not in conflict with each other, and even the family businesses are very different. The Song family suddenly came to discuss cooperation. Of course, it cannot be for a simple matter.
Having some concerns in his mind, Ke Lingye asked, "Are you targeting the Night Emperor?"
The Song family has some strength, and the Night Emperor has been away from Yongye City for a long time. Under such circumstances, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not become ambitious and covet something that he should not covet.
Nan Jinhuai did not deny it. He met the two people's gazes and said sarcastically, "It's ridiculous for a cricket to shake a big tree."
Being ambitious is a good thing, but being arrogant is not.
Pushing the broken hair aside, Rong Lingling played with it, "Do you think the Night Emperor knows about this?"
Ke Lingye blinked and Nan Jinhuai patted his shoulder.
"That one is a genius."
Although his whereabouts are unpredictable, he has always been feared by others, and there has been no major trouble in the Eternal Night City outside the territory. This is enough to show the skills of the Night Emperor himself.
"Whether he knows it or not, if we take action, it will be beneficial to him without any harm." Ke Lingye raised his eyebrows.
The Song family has been domineering and unjust in recent years, and some of the insults have spread across the sea to his ears. If he can deal with the Song family, it can be regarded as a good deed.
"The Emperor is hosting a banquet tonight. We should divide our troops into two groups. I will go to the banquet, and you and others will go to the Song family and bring Ah Ji out."
Rong Linngling has an idea.
The matter of rescuing Shen Ji and taking revenge on the Song family was left to Ke Lingye. She had her own way to reveal this matter to the Night Emperor.
No one would be willing to carry a threat with them, so she wanted to use this incident to give the Night Emperor a favor.
"I'll make arrangements now." Ke Lingye stood up and walked outside.
And the person they wanted to rescue is currently trapped in the basement of the Song family.
The basement is cold and damp, and the tungsten lamp hangs from the ceiling. There is a layer of stain on the bulb. It may be that it has been used for too long, and the light it emits is not bright.
Shen Ji lowered his head and leaned against the wall. His light-colored suit was in tatters and covered with blood stains.
He coughed, pulled the wound, and frowned. The basement door creaked open and someone walked in.
Without even looking at anyone, Shen Ji thought to himself, "It's not a good thing to be evil."
The face is embarrassed and the smile is sarcastic.
No one in Organization Y knows how to write the word "compromise" in their entire lives.
"Don't say it so harshly. I just want to make a deal with you. I will use your life in exchange for all the deployments made by Organization Y to the Eternal Night City outside the territory. This is a very cost-effective deal."
The Song family member who spoke tried his best to keep his tone gentle, but the greedy look on his face was not concealed at all.
"Are you willing to kill me?"
Without waiting for the person in front of him to speak, he added the last sentence, "If you kill me, there will be nothing left. Then if you keep my life like you are now, even if I bite you to death and won't let go, you can Use me to threaten them. Only my life is valuable. What I said is absolutely correct, right?"
Having guessed what he was thinking, the person in front of him said nothing, and after a while he made a gesture to the bodyguard behind him.
Shen Ji was pulled up vigorously by the bodyguard and received a punch in the abdomen. The pain made him groan and fall down.
He got up, curled his lips and sneered, "Song Zhengchuan, you only have this much ability."
I couldn't get the information I wanted, but in order to use him as a bargaining chip to threaten Organization Y, I couldn't kill him directly, so I could only torture him like venting my hatred.
But this is of no use.
Shen Ji thought to himself.
"Wait until night, and I'll go meet with the codename 'Weiyang' from your Y organization." After saying this, Song Zhengchuan went out with his bodyguards.
The man named Song wants to threaten Lingling with his life?
A dark light flashed across Shen Ji's eyes.
Song Zhengchuan made the wrong calculation this time, but he was not a very smart person to begin with. To be able to take out the locator on him immediately after catching him was to use up all his IQ.
