Chapter 613 - A Rouge Wave in the Calm Sea (1/2)

Xiong Zhi's heart softened.

”Can you tell me the important details in the meeting?”

The couple sat on the couch. Xiong Zhi asked her attending secretary to give Linfeng some tea and snacks.

Linfeng explained to her the necessary information he gathered, such as which people recommended who, and that the faction allies would vote out Ming Zhi Yi from the VVIP list once they win.

Xiong Zhi frowned and immediately saw the problem.

”They did not even talk about what they will do if Ming Zhi Yi wins the position. It seems like the bosses outside of the legendary families cannot be depended on. They will likely turn their backs and switch sides once our faction lost the election.”

”Yes, that is more likely what will happen. However, the heads of the four families stayed back. I think they are going to discuss the measures for worst case scenario.”

”They have to. The four families are the ones who will be most affected once Ming Zhi Yi sits on the head position. They will do everything they can to suppress him.”

After saying these, Xiong Zhi fell silent. Many thoughts ran in her mind.

She looked up at Linfeng's profile of drinking tea and voiced out her worries. ”Do you think they have an idea of Ming Zhi Yi's ability? What kind of movement will they make to suppress him?”

Linfeng put down the cup, put a hand on his chin, and thought. ”Hmm... Head Lu has a deep grudge with Ming Zhi Yi, so more likely, they will make the first move and suppress him from the very beginning. However, it is unlikely that Ming Zhi Yi will be suppressed.”

Silence settled in the office.

Xiong Zhi sighed and leaned her head against the wide shoulders.

”Do you think we should let ourselves be known and help them?”

Linfeng shook his head and wrapped an arm around her shoulders. ”No, not yet. We are still investigating. If we let ourselves be known with our actions and give a helping hand to the faction, then we will likely be discovered. All of our actions will be traced and the ongoing investigation we have will be tracked down. We can't allow any mishap or intervention to happen now. Right now, our investigation is making progress and Ming Zhi Yi has no idea about our movements...” Linfeng halted.

Lu Jin's figure entered his mind.

Right, that man knew that he was being nosy. That man might not be able to confirm it but he would surely be suspicious of them.

Seeing that Linfeng stopped on his words, Xiong Zhi touched his face. ”Linfeng?”

The man recovered and shook the idea off from his mind.

For now, Lu Jin's actions to him were quite mysterious and unreadable. He had suspected him, Linfeng, but he did not take an action.

Why?

Was he really silent or was he harboring evil plans behind?

However, the investigation team was not yet discovered. His instincts were telling him that the enemies still had not discovered them yet.

”Linfeng?”

”Ah, I am sorry. I accidentally fell into deep thoughts. As I was saying, it is better for Ming Zhi Yi to face the legendary families' oppression and be more preoccupied. It will make our investigations run more smoothly. And using the legendary family as bait, we can also take a look in Ming Zhi Yi's true capability.”

Xiong Zhi fell silent. She was considering Linfeng's suggestion and the pros and cons of it.

He was right.

They had to dig deeper about this matter and not alert the enemy. They had to truly see the face of the enemy and the power he was holding before making their move.

”The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind,” Xiong Zhi muttered.

”Yes, we will do that,” Linfeng calmly said.

The oriole whose existence was out of everyone's perception would slowly become bigger while stalking the mantis and the cicada.

Days passed and the world continued to move forward on its own hurried pace.

While schemes were slowly moving on their own under the currents, a huge bomb was suddenly thrown into the sea of the ICT industry, disturbing the calmness and creating waves everywhere.

Prior to this bomb, a creation that stunned everyone and made every businessman want to have a piece of it had shaken the world, the ZD World.
