Qin Su looked at Mo Lan and suddenly curled the corner of her lips, "Should we intercept them?"
Hearing Qin Su's suggestion, Mo Lan glanced at him sideways, "And then what? Support them?"
Killing all three sons at once would have too much of an impact; she'd rather keep them as food than risk them.
"Aren't you afraid they'll drag Jiang Mian into this to deal with us?"
Qin Su watched as Mo Lan rolled her eyes at him, her eyes flickered, but she wasn't angry at all.
Sometimes he was quite puzzled by his own thoughts. Even though the other person was extremely disgusted and he was also very angry, he could always find a lot of reasons for himself.
They still got angry when they met again, and then he tried to convince himself in frustration... one after another, he actually developed a calm attitude and thought that the other person was just being genuine, which was really something else.
"Jiang Mian isn't stupid. At first, the three families were carrying out such a big operation right under his nose without his knowledge. Now that they can't handle it, they're begging him for help. Do you think Jiang Mian will compromise so easily?"
Even if you're willing in your heart, it wouldn't be right to say it on the surface.
Mo Lan blinked. With Jiang Mian's cunning mind, she would definitely put on a high-handed attitude and slap the other person's face hard.
As for whether she would ultimately participate, Mo Lan wasn't quite sure. But subconsciously, she felt that Jiang Mian wouldn't do something that merely copied what others had said.
"So what do we do? Should we wait here or take a trip to Ye County? And while we're at it, deliver a big gift to the three of them? Or watch a big show?" Qin Su said, his eyes flashing with a deep and unfathomable glint, his calculating thoughts making no attempt to hide them.
What's your plan?
Looking at the shrewd eyes gleaming beneath the fox mask, Mo Lan raised an eyebrow.
Without even thinking, Mo Lan knew that there was something wicked going on behind their backs. Few scions of noble families are kind; they only weigh the pros and cons.
“It’s simple. Don’t they want Jiang Mian to join them to increase their chances of winning? We’ll spread the word first that the three major families are short of a mantis. With Jiang Mian’s intelligence, if he cares about his pride, he won’t agree easily.”
Three orioles arrived, leaving only the mantis to scout ahead. Anyone with a brain wouldn't want to be a mantis that could be easily tricked.
Listening to Qin Su's plan, Mo Lan stroked her pointer and almost burst out laughing. Qin Su, that insidious guy, actually compared Jiang Mian to a praying mantis.
Such blatant mockery—not just Jiang Mian, anyone could tell that someone was deliberately spreading rumors.
However, the more obvious it is, the more it serves as a reminder to the person involved that if you have even a little bit of greed or disregard the rumors, you can be drowned by their spittle.
His reputation will also plummet.
Therefore, sometimes, if you want to scheme against someone, you don't need to be too meticulous in your calculations. The simpler and easier it is to understand, the greater the impact.
Thinking of this, Mo Lan raised an eyebrow at him, "You see things very clearly. No wonder you are the successor raised by a noble family."
"Miss Mo Lan is truly remarkable, understanding things instantly. We're on par." Hearing Mo Lan's tone, Qin Su chuckled, taking it as a genuine compliment.
"In that case, do we still need to make a trip to Ye County?"
"Don't you have your own intelligence network? Why not just write a letter and have them do it?" Mo Lan didn't care whether they went or not.
"Don't you want to know the result?" Qin Su was speechless, wondering if this girl was genuinely bold or testing him.
After all, it concerns her interests. Aren't you afraid he might have ulterior motives?
