Chapter 717 - Strategy (1/2)

Xiong Zhi watched the man leave the stage. The host took over the stage and started speaking, but his words were blurred to most of the people in the hall.

Their attention was still filled with the overwhelming impression that Ming Zhi Yi left.

Ming Zhi Yi had left the stage and no one knew where he hid.

Xiong Zhi took a deep breath, took her ċȯċktail glass, and lightly sipped while her eyes darted around.

Her eyes specifically landed on several people nearby.

She observed closely the reactions and expressions of the people tagged as Ming Zhi Yi's hidden people in the list.

The people who were against the legendary families' faction, those who were waiting for their demise, and those who were helping Ming Zhi Yi by letting him borrow their power and money.

Her heart sank.

As expected, they had deep smiles etched on their faces. Some tried to hide their expressions, but the greed in their eyes shone.

Xiong Zhi lowered her eyes.

She finally had to admit, the list given to them was authentic.

****

At that time after getting the flash drive from Lu Jin.

While he checked the things inside the flash drive with his ŀȧptop, Linfeng's eyes widened slightly then narrowed.

Xiong Zhi tore her eyes away from Lu Jin. She asked Linfeng.

”What is it?”

”Unbelievable. These people… I did not realize that all of these people are actually helping Ming Zhi Yi…” Linfeng muttered. Disbelief was written on his face. Soon, it changed into a grave expression. ”They hid really deeply.”

Xiong Zhi could not wait for Linfeng's explanation and inched closer to him.

Her eyes focused on the screen of Linfeng's ŀȧptop.

A moment later, her phoenix eyes turned wider.

!

Now she understood why Linfeng was shocked.

These people!

Some were well-known people who were known as loyal supporters of the legendary families' faction!

Aside from that, there was additional data showing that there were also a lot of clans and groups giving aid to Ming Zhi Yi.

If this was all true...

Then there was no wonder why the man became so powerful yet went unnoticed by the legendary families' faction for so long.

It could precisely be because of these people's help. The existence of traitors in their midst.

However, there was also a possibility that this was a trap of the enemy to sow discord.

”As I said, my father is only one man.”

Lu Jin's voice made the two wake up from their daze.

The other ignored their sharp glares and continued indifferently.

”He was not as powerful before as he is now. He was originally just a leftover member of a destroyed clan. However, his tenacity and hatred were much stronger than anyone else.”

The Qian family's tragedy. So it is indeed revenge, Xiong Zhi thought.
