The Elite Assassin Becomes a Flat and Ugly Nerd! - Chapter 177

177 The Mastermind

“Take this video to see for yourself. When you can understand the process inside and you can familiarize yourself with it, you can prepare to challenge the people on the rankings.” With that, Shan Yue ignored Sun Ling and turned around to return to her room to close the door.

The matter of Dong Yan being in danger suddenly flashed across her mind and she couldn’t help but frown.

According to her judgment, that assassin should be at the bottom of the hierarchy based on his skills. As for using dual blades, there were many people in the organization who used dual blades. It was really difficult to investigate if it wasn’t some big shot.

Shan Yue raised her hand and turned on the computer. After expertly typing a code, she entered the encrypted communication. However, at this moment, a popular piece of news was automatically pushed to the computer table.

[The chairman of the Zhou Corporation, Zhou Xuan, paid money to assassinate Dong Yan of the Dong Corporation!]

!!
A short line of words flashed across Shan Yue’s cold eyes. Tsk, this matter was getting more and more interesting. After Ye Ying saw that Shan Yue did not speak for a long time, he immediately replied.

[Ling Yue, are you contacting me?]

[That’s right. I want you to help me investigate. Last night, someone tried to assassinate Dong Yan at the Federal Hospital. The killer was someone from the organization. I just saw the news online that Zhou Xuan hired someone to kill him. I don’t think it’s that simple. If he really did it, such news definitely won’t be exposed. I guess there’s someone else behind this.]

Ye Ying looked at the message on the screen. When he saw the word organization, he clenched his fists tightly. His eyes could not help but become sharp, revealing killing intent. It was the organization that betrayed Ling Yue back then. No one who was at the scene that day could escape!

Ye Ying took a deep breath to hide his anger and tried his best to show Shan Yue the good side.

[Okay, I understand. I’ll check now.]

At the same time, in the silent office, only He Sheng stood beside Zhou Xuan and stared at the news on the computer screen.

“How is that possible? President Zhou, I’ll immediately investigate which media outlet dared to release such fake news.”

Zhou Xuan’s expression did not change. He sat quietly and did not speak. The green ring on his hand was especially dazzling under the sunlight. He kept tapping his index finger on the table in a very regular manner, a trace of disdain in his eyes. “There’s no need to investigate.”

“Why? President Zhou, this is framing. It will also deal a blow to our Zhou Corporation’s business.”

“It’s obvious who did this.” There was a hint of coldness in Zhou Xuan’s words. “Recently, we’ve been competing for the Las Vegas project. This news is enough to make the Las Vegas delegation choose the Tang family under the same competitive advantage. Other than them, who else has the ability to send such a message?”

He Sheng understood immediately. “You mean…”

Zhou Xuan narrowed his eyes. “The most important thing now is to see who Dong Peng believes.”

Zhou Xuan thought of the mastermind, and Shan Yue naturally found out. She looked at Ye Ying’s reply on the screen. It was basically the same as what she had guessed.

[Someone from the Tang Corporation pretended to be Zhou Xuan and spent a high price to buy Dong Yan’s life. Someone in the organization accepted this bounty, but unfortunately, the mission failed, making the buyer very angry. Moreover, I found out that this news was sent from the media under the Tang Corporation. Most importantly, I even intercepted a recording of the buyer’s call after the mission failed. I’ve already sent it to you.]

She received the recording of the call and watched the press conference yesterday. In the video, when Zhou Xuan and Tang Li shook hands and decided to compete for a fair price for the Las Vegas project, a bold thought suddenly appeared in Shan Yue’s mind.

She closed the chat interface and slowly narrowed her eyes. “Dong Yan, don’t worry. I won’t let you acknowledge me as your master for nothing.”

In the ward, Dong Yan, who could not take care of himself, looked at his father, who had been by his side for three days, and his heart ached.

He knew that if Dong Peng did not go to the company for three days, the Dong Corporation would incur a lot of losses. He had also learned from Dong Peng that Shan Yue had saved him twice. Dong Yan naturally did not believe the news that Zhou Xuan had hired someone to kill him.
