For the Hawke Palace Hotel, today was a rather special day; tonight, a group of very important individuals from Qingqiu Country would be gathering here.
In order to entertain these guests, an entire floor of the hotel had been cleared out, at the entrance of which tight security measures were deployed, given that each person appearing there today could be of critical importance to Qingqiu!
"President Quan, you've arrived so early?"
"Hahaha, yes, I've just settled a matter that's been weighing on my mind, feeling refreshed, I had to come!"
"Being suppressed by that Huaxia youngster named Zhang Menglong recently has been suffocating; now that he has finally gone back, how could I not come to celebrate properly?"
"How's your bank doing?"
"The situation has basically stabilized, the number of people withdrawing money has been decreasing, and in at most two days, it will return to the previous state of slow growth. But this time, it was indeed a serious blow to our vitality."
"That's true, our Minsheng Bank has suffered substantial losses. I hope we can mitigate some of the damage in the final stretch of the year!"
"I've heard that today's gathering isn't so simple!" one of the bank presidents, who was on very good terms with Su Zhihe, suddenly said with an air of mystery, "Do you think today is just about celebrating Zhang Menglong's return to his country?"
"What else could it mean?" Several other bank presidents gathered closer.
"You need to understand, Zhang Menglong's actions didn't just strike a blow to our economy, but his livestream that night has made us Qingqiu people lose face before the whole world. This is a tremendous insult; if we let him return just like that, where would the dignity of our country stand?" Experience tales at empire
"You mean?" The ears of several bank presidents widened, and one of them even made a throat-slitting gesture with his hand.
"Shh! Keep it down, this matter is top secret! Apart from Representative Su, no more than five people know of it. You must not tell anyone," the president said, "We'll only make our move when Zhang Menglong's plane moves through the airspace of other countries. We definitely won't let his death be traced back to us!"
"If that's the case, then it would definitely be a good thing for our country!"
"Right, where is Representative Su?"
"Yeah, tonight he's supposed to be our star, our hero!"
The time had already reached 6:20 p.m., and even President Quan Zhenggui had made his appearance at the venue, but Su Zhihe was nowhere to be seen.
"Where is Su Zhihe? Could he have forgotten the time?" Quan Zhenggui said displeasedly, "Someone, go ask about him? Contact his secretary."@@@@
"Bro, the people you hired are no good, trying to kill me? At least find someone slightly more impressive. And with an offer of just 200 US Dollars, I almost feel insulted!"
"I don't understand what you're talking about!" Quan Zhenggui couldn't possibly admit that Qingqiu Country had sent people to assassinate Zhang Menglong—he had to pretend to be clueless.
"Looks like you're not going to admit it!" Zhang Menglong said with a laugh, "Why don't you listen to this!"
Zhang Menglong took out a small recording device.
"Did Su Zhihe send you to kill me?"
"How... how could you possibly know?"
...
The voices of Zhang Menglong and Sorens were on the recording.
"Oh, and by the way, there's also the recording of Su Zhihe contacting the Assassin Organization. Wanna listen?" Zhang Menglong said.
With his intelligence network, obtaining such evidence was a piece of cake.
"You..." Everyone in the hall changed color. If what Zhang Menglong claimed was true and he had those pieces of evidence, then the fact that they had sent people to assassinate Zhang Menglong was confirmed. If exposed to the international community, Qingqiu might soon become everyone's target.
"Su Zhihe, it was you who sent people to do it, right?" Quan Zhenggui said.
"Is there a recording device and a video device?" Zhang Menglong communicated telepathically with Ye Yin.
"I can block them all!"
Having received a positive response from Ye Yin, Zhang Menglong's smile twisted practically to the heavens, "It was me who hired someone to do the job, a discount sale, for just 10 bucks. Isn't that cheap?"
Hearing Zhang Menglong's maddening voice, Quan Zhenggui couldn't help clenching his fist.
"What are you looking at, think being the president is so great? Believe it or not, I'll spend 15 bucks to turn you into a corpse just like Su Zhihe," Zhang Menglong taunted, facing those who wanted him dead without the slightest psychological burden.
"Zhang Menglong, are you threatening me? Aren't you afraid this could lead to a dispute?"
"I am threatening you, come at me if you dare!" Zhang Menglong continued brazenly, "Hahaha, do you want to make my crime known to the public? But you guys don't have any evidence!"
