Chapter 939 - Horrifying Conjecture (2/2)

“Wait a sec!”

Knowing that Bai Tao wanted to hang up, Kanaja immediately called out, “Young Master Bai, I see you as my younger brother and we’ve known each other for years. How about… giving me a helping hand? I’m in deep shit now, so please help me. I don’t know about… how is your relationship with him, exactly?”

Bai Tao realized what Kanaja had in mind, but he didn’t want to poke his nose in this turbid issue. However, he remembered the tens of millions of yuan dividends he obtains from Africa annually, and he felt rather reluctant to lose it. More so that he also understood Kanaja’s nature. If he helped this guy to solve this problem, he might secure more benefits from him.

Countless thoughts popped in and out of his mind as he weighed all the pros and cons of every option. But knowing that the situation between Kanaja and Tang Xiu hadn’t yet reached a life-and-death conflict, he concluded that the former definitely had nothing to do with the matter. Even if he were to make Tang Xiu displeased, he was the younger brother of both Kanaja and Tang Xiu’s cousin [1]. Hence, it was very likely that Tang Xiu would drop the matter if he helped clear the issue by pulling their relationship to the table.

After giving it some thought, Bai Tao said, “You must wait for Tang Xiu with prudence, Kanaja. And be sure to lower your head. I’ll call him later, but I don’t dare give you a 100% guarantee that he’s going to drop this matter. After all, it’s Zhang Xinya who holds the key in this matter.”

“Exactly what kind of relationship exists between her and him?” asked Kanaja quickly.

“You see, Tang Xiu kinda has too strong a charm as a man. Combine that with his devilish luck,” said Bai Tao with a wry chuckle. “My guess is that she is his woman. Also, Zhang Xinya’s works in Bangkok are related to the entertainment company she’s affiliated with. This company is founded by some scions who have a powerful background in China, and Tang Xiu is among the shareholders. Your men harbored untoward intention towards Zhang Xinya, so I’m guessing that the scheme against Zhang Xinya that offended Tang Xiu is not just one person.”

“Songzan and Alloway! These two fucking bastards just pushed me to into this deep shit! Had I known earlier about this, I’d never have come to this hotel and would have kept myself out of this fucking shit! I hope you really can help me out of this shit, Young Master Bai. I’ll remember this huge favor later and you can be sure that you’ll have my thanks after this shit is dealt with properly.” Kanaja had a hunch that Tang Xiu was the real mastermind behind the #1319 max-security prison in Israel. That thought made his scalp tingle and sent a chill down his spine.

“I will,” replied Bai Tao.

Inside the Amanda Hotel’s restaurant, Singluen felt like the dishes he ate were tasteless at first. He was aware of how powerful Tang Xiu was, yet he was unsure whether Tang Xiu could overwhelm Kanaja with absolute strength in Bangkok. He still was yet to take control over the Dark Shaman clan, so he was unable to gather enough manpower to help Tang Xiu even if he wanted to.

However, seeing that the man himself seemed to show no fear and even chatted with the belle next to him so leisurely, his slight worry disappeared and he was back to normal again.

“What’s your plan to deal with Kanaja regarding this matter, Mr. Tang? I already chose to cooperate with you, so you can expect that I’ll stand with you no matter the situation. Even if you must fight that man, I’ll charge forward with you,” said Singluen with a serious face. He had already considered it.

Tang Xiu put down his chopsticks and raised his head. He looked at him with a smile and said, “This is nothing but a trivial issue, so you don’t need to involve yourself, though. I can completely cull all the power Kanaja has if I want to. However, this guy has quite an influence in Thailand, regardless. If he’s able to lower his head and also can accept my condition, I can give him some leeway and let him off.”

“What conditions have you thought of to make him accept?” asked Singluen quickly.

“Well, don’t you think that having many more helpers would be good for you when we deal with your big brother later?” asked Tang Xiu smilingly.

Singluen’s eyes turned wide instantly and he replied in surprise, “You mean, you will let him off in order to make him help us? But is this even possible? You see, aside from the fact that he also has a certain friendship with my father, I’m afraid that just his hegemonic nature alone…”

“What are you afraid of, though?” asked Tang Xiu smilingly. “Alright. Put your worry in your belly for now. It’s not like I have already told him my conditions yet, so how would we know whether or not he’d keep that attitude?”

Singluen nodded without a word. Tang Xiu’s idea had piqued his interest regardless. If Kanaja could really stand on his side in the power struggle between him and his brother, becoming the heir of the Dark Shaman clan was a sure shot.

Suddenly, he recalled another issue and hurriedly asked, “But Mr. Tang, are you not afraid any leaks will occur from his side?”

“You mean you’re afraid that he’ll leak our plan to get rid of your big brother in advance?” asked Tang Xiu back with squinted eyes.

“That’s right.” Singluen nodded. “It’s a plan that we must keep confidential. I don’t know if my brother has any friendship with Kanaja. If they are friends, then it will spell big trouble.”

Note:

[1] To make it not confuse readers, I changed Tang Xiu’s younger brother to Tang Xiu’s cousin here since Bai Tao is Chu Yi’s friend (younger brother) and the latter is Tang Xiu’s cousin.
