104 Casting a Net

“Do you think you’re better than me?” Yi Zheng raised his eyebrows and looked at her, his eyes filled with smiles.

He did not know what demon he had encountered recently, but he felt that every time he saw Shi Man, she would be different from before. She was like a swamp, tempting him to go deeper and deeper.

“At least better than you.” Shi Man raised her eyebrows slightly and did not waste any more time with him. The heat in the cup misted her eyes. “If I’m not wrong, those people are simply unknown small characters. You won’t be able to get anything out of them through your interrogation. Of course, if you’re lucky, you’ll find that they’re just a group of middlemen who rely on mediation to earn the difference in price. They can’t even be considered real mercenaries.”

Yi Zheng raised his eyebrows in interest and pretended to be all ears. He smiled and said, “I’m willing to hear the details.”

“The car chase was implemented lousily.”

Yi Zheng was stunned for a moment before he quickly regained his composure. He instantly understood what she meant.

Most of the businesses that circulated on the black market were only taken up by outlaws.

They were not afraid of going to jail. Almost everyone had a few lives on their backs, but almost no one was willing to shoot and chase after a car in public like today.

Because that looked very stupid.

Moreover, their vehicle was an ordinary van without any bulletproof measures. They looked like a group of amateurs with no means and experience.

Yi Zheng was interested and stared at her with a burning gaze. “According to you, they’re a group of middlemen who rely on pulling strings to earn the difference in price. Why would they shoot today?”

“How would you know that those who shot and drove were from the same group?” Shi Man looked out of the door. Through the thick door, she could still clearly sense the aura outside. “Perhaps we can ask Tang Zhe about this? Didn’t your people get involved and seduced the opponent?”

Seduce?

Yi Zheng’s eyebrows twitched slightly as he shook his head in amusement. “That’s the wrong word. I’m beating them at their own game, not seducing them.”

“Admit it?” Shi Man raised her eyebrows without surprise. She lowered her crossed legs and looked at him indifferently. “I’m afraid you won’t be able to take the opportunity to get to the mastermind. Why don’t I teach you a trick? Let them go and wait for them to come and find me again.”

“Aren’t you afraid of danger?” Yi Zheng shook his head and refused without thinking. “I’ll investigate this matter. Don’t worry.”

“There’s no need to investigate at all.” Shi Man pointed out a clear path for him. “If they can’t do it, they definitely won’t be able to get the balance. For this money, they will definitely contact another force and cooperate to kill the Shi family. I’m the simplest target for assassination in their eyes. When the time comes, they will use up all the money in their hands and can only suck the blood of their employer. Why not?”

What Shi Man did not say was that as long as Yi Zheng let them go, Sean would immediately bring people to monitor their whereabouts and wait for an opportunity to interact with them. After deceiving them and gaining their trust, he would accept the mission to assassinate Shi Man. Then, he could wait for the other party to give him money without worry. This was simply easy money.

Yi Zheng knew what she was thinking, and his smile gradually reached his eyes. “It seems that you’ve already made up your mind. Then I’ll listen to you.”

He obediently took out his phone and called Tang Zhe. After giving a few instructions softly, he hung up the phone and asked casually, “Should I sigh that you know too much about me and the Yi family, or should I be shocked that you know too much about the black market?”

Shi Man achieved her goal and stood up without hesitation. She glanced at Yi Zheng with her sparkling eyes. “Then guess for yourself.”

Opening the door, Shi Man bumped into Uncle Liu, who was eavesdropping outside. She stared at him without joy or anger. After a while, she looked away calmly and walked away without looking back under Uncle Liu’s increasingly shocked gaze.

In the study, Yi Zheng gestured for Uncle Liu to walk in front of him with an unfathomable look in his eyes. “She’s very different from before, right?”

“Yes.” Uncle Liu nodded in disbelief and looked out the window at Shi Man’s back as she got into the car. “I’m afraid Miss Shi has reached out too far. I’m afraid it will be disadvantageous to the Yi family in the future. Master, you have to make plans early.”

“Don’t worry about it. Let her do whatever she wants.” Yi Zheng stood up and returned to the table. He looked at the Immaculate List in his hand. “Has the tracker been placed?”

“Yes, we’ve already planted them on those people. Master, don’t worry.”

Uncle Liu was not often around Yi Zheng and was not as powerful as Tang Zhe. On the surface, he was just a small butler in the Yi family who handled family matters. No one knew that he was actually one of the leaders in the black market business under Yi Zheng. His status was not inferior to that of Tang Zhe.

Yi Zheng nodded in satisfaction. A large net was arranged methodically under his plan. He was just waiting for the final prey to be caught.
