"Alright, all of you stop trying to persuade me. I have to go this time!" Zheng Ya waved his hand, interrupting Liu Yuan's attempt to agree with Xie Baochai's persuasion.
Liu Yuan was so anxious that tears streamed down his face, and everyone in the conglomerate was restless and anxious.
This caught Xie Baochai's attention. Shocked, she noticed Zheng Ya making a move to leave and said urgently, "Wait! As long as you don't make that trip, I'll tell you about the key..."
"Haha, you only came to fawn over me now because you saw that I am the only one in our family to continue the Xie family line and ensure the continuation of our bloodline. Are you really that sincere?" Zheng Ya stopped and turned around to mock her for being selfish and petty.
"Every man for himself" is a proverb, so you can't say she did anything wrong.
However, she chose this moment to reveal the secret information and manipulate people, making Zheng Ya completely look down on her as a profit-driven woman.
In Zheng Ya's view, Xie Baochai and her brother's only way out is to cooperate with him.
Otherwise, no matter who the siblings cooperate with, even accidentally letting slip a secret could lead to their deaths.
Wu Wei, a scheming person, would never care about the life or death of the siblings just because of information about the key.
Sheng Xiang has now infiltrated the Dark Yuan Dynasty, secretly gathering the entire Dark Yuan Dynasty tribes and using every means to gather the demon beasts' fighting power. If he discovers that the siblings know the key, he will subject them to torture until they die.
As for the fate of the siblings after falling into the hands of the retired emperor and the empress dowager, the common people of the world are not in their eyes, let alone their lives. They may only be left to crush ants.
This situation was presented to the siblings through the virtual screen of the bright moon over the sea, prompting them to discern a way to protect themselves.
Otherwise, the siblings wouldn't have chosen to stand up at this time and persuade people to live a life of mediocrity.
In fact, Zheng Ya had been suppressing his true nature and playing the field to delay the destruction of the world, which could be considered a way of surviving.
However, Zheng Ya disdained Xie Baochai and her brother for clinging to life in order to protect themselves, disregarding the lives of others and delaying the great cause of integrating forces, gathering resources, and creating a new world. For the first time, he harbored murderous intentions towards the siblings.
Xie Baochai met his gaze, trembled inexplicably, and lowered her head to say, "I know perfectly well that you look down on my brother and me."
But how can you possibly understand how my father survived the days when he was tortured to death, and how more than 300 members of the family were imprisoned and forced to work for them, living in constant fear?
You can't possibly know how utterly despairing, even maddening, life-or-death situation it is, having to swallow your pride and do things for your enemies, constantly forcing smiles, living a life worse than death..."
"Enough. No matter how much you say, I only have one thing to say: no amount of suffering in this world is a reason for a twisted mind."
A twisted or corrupted mindset only indicates a lack of willpower.
To stoop to depravity and then try to gain sympathy by claiming to have suffered is utterly worthless to me, even more disgusting and shameful.
Therefore, I offer you siblings a piece of advice: keep your secret information to yourselves and make yourselves rich; I really don't want it." Zheng Ya spoke his true feelings, and then turned and left.
Liu Yuan hurriedly followed, while Xie Baochai and her brother stared dumbfounded, utterly shocked: "No, it's not like that, it's not, it's not..."
"Sister, don't scare me, boohoo!" Xie Dasheng was used to a life of luxury and couldn't distinguish right from wrong. Seeing his sister's grief, he hated Zheng Ya to the bone.
Unfortunately, Zheng Ya had already given up on the siblings, which worried Liu Yuan, who chased after him to his right rear and advised, "Master, why do you have to get angry with them?"
In my humble opinion, the siblings' suggestion has great potential…
"Old Liu, say that again?" Zheng Ya stopped angrily, turned around and scolded him. Liu Yuan smiled brightly: "Master has misunderstood this old servant."
The old servant meant that the master could use a roundabout strategy.
While taking the advice of the siblings, they delayed their trip to the incident sites in the north and south, and obtained the secret information from them.
"While delaying the schemes and plots of certain individuals, we can wait until they become restless and reveal their weaknesses before demonstrating our own abilities. Then, our master can reap the full rewards. Why not do it?"
"Haha, you're quite experienced in handling things. You've come up with a good way to break the deadlock, killing multiple birds with one stone."
But have you considered the question of when the world will expect me to appear? Zheng Ya did not deny that his method was highly feasible.
However, the scenario that the world expected and the timing of winning people's hearts were inappropriate.
Liu Yuan seemed to understand something, and said with a wry smile, "It seems that Master wants to cut the Gordian knot and appear at the scene of the incident in an unexpected way to explain."
That would not only thwart the retired emperor's scheme to tarnish his master's reputation, but also deliver a slap in the face during their most powerful moment, thus better uniting the people's hearts.
While this move has an element of surprise attack on their ambush, it also presents an opportunity to face them at their strongest. Master, are you truly willing to take this risk?
"Old Liu, you should know one thing better than anyone else: under my planning and supernatural abilities, the people of the world have been pretending to be the sixth in the Emperor Emeritus for more than a year. The centripetal force and resentment that have gathered in the hearts and minds of the people are equal."
People are most afraid of being wronged, but most capable of enjoying life.
Under normal circumstances, the fact that the retired emperor and his ilk spread rumors and ruined my reputation will inevitably make people expect me to create miracles, establish an image of creating a new world, and boost morale.
After all, everyone in the world is afraid of death and suffers from the oppression of the retired emperor and his ilk. They have long yearned for a new life and are eager to see the dawn of a new life, rather than my negative image, which would have the opposite effect.
"I must say, the Emperor Emeritus and his group chose the perfect time to cause trouble, leaving me with no way to avoid it!" Zheng Ya also admired the Emperor Emeritus and his group's deep understanding of people's hearts, leaving him no way out.
If we back down, the hearts of the people will be scattered!
Even the wisest person can make a mistake, let alone an ordinary person who makes trouble for himself.
When the retired emperor sets up a psychological warfare tactic, it's a war of attrition that ordinary people simply cannot withstand.
Liu Yuan suddenly realized and slapped his thigh: "Oh dear, this is bad! The more thorough the master's analysis, the more it shows that they are well prepared!"
That old scoundrel, the retired emperor, probably meticulously plotted this scheme to lure our master into their clutches…
"Alright, stop trying to persuade me. Instead of imagining how powerful the enemy is, you should go and clean up the mess for me and reduce the pressure on me as much as possible. I'm leaving..." Zheng Ya disappeared on the reef as soon as he finished speaking, leaving only the echoes reverberating in the space of the reef.
Liu Yuan shook his head anxiously, tears streaming down his face: "Oh, Master, you must be careful!"
"Someone come here, give me a comprehensive analysis of the incident locations in the north and south..."
"Manager, something terrible has happened! The locations of the incident in the north and south have disappeared from the surveillance cameras..." One person reported the news, and everyone was stunned and extremely anxious.
Liu Yuan was shocked and ran towards the virtual screen on the mountaintop with his heart pounding: "No, this is impossible! The science and technology network created by our master, coupled with drones and satellite monitoring of the world, how could it possibly lose the monitoring of the incident location..."
"Manager, that's the truth! We must hurry and support our master..." The entire conglomerate shouted their desire to fight, creating utter chaos...
