Qin Bai stood up and let Liu Tiancheng sit in his seat.
"You can probably guess what happened next, so I don't need to go into details, right?"
"You don't really intend to get what you want by framing someone, do you?"
A hint of disappointment lingered in Liu Tiancheng's eyes; it was like a good movie start being paired with a poorly made domestic ending.
No one could see through Qin Bai's initial strategy, including Liu Tiancheng.
If he hadn't been keeping a close eye on the situation in Kyoto and knowing every single detail, he would never have imagined how vast this intricate web was.
But to everyone's surprise, Qin Bai would use such a childish method to wrap things up at the end.
Liu Tiancheng sighed: "Have you thought about this? Some things are useless to frame. These kinds of things are easy to find out. Even if you succeed, do you really think you have caught those politicians red-handed?"
"I understand why."
"You're really crazy. You don't understand those people's methods at all."
"No, it's that you really don't understand people's hearts."
Qin Bai smiled calmly, casually fiddling with a walnut placed on the table.
"Sometimes the truth isn't important; what matters most is the truth they want to see."
Liu Tiancheng frowned slightly, pondering the deeper meaning of those words.
Qin Bai continued, "Politicians' most common tactic is to smear others, and I used these 27 companies as a price to help them eliminate their opponents."
Who are you referring to by "them"?
"Luo Yuquan and Yin Ning'an, or more accurately, the people behind them."
Liu Tiancheng asked in surprise, "You knew all along that they were helping Luo Qingyan?"
"I don't know, but given Luo Qingyan's personality, the fact that she dared to go to the capital without fear of being caught by the Luo family means she must have something to rely on."
"Alright, alright, you've taken everyone into account. Go on." Liu Tiancheng nodded with some satisfaction.
"It's gone."
"That's it? What happened after you helped those politicians eliminate their political opponents?"
Qin Bai spread his hands: "Success depends on man's will and fate on the plan. I'm not an omnipotent god. It's already quite good that I've planned to this extent."
Liu Tiancheng curled his lip: "It would be strange if I believed you. I'm actually glad you didn't enter politics, otherwise..."
It's no fun if everything is laid bare; everyone has their own little secrets.
So he didn't continue.
It's like asking what role the Yu family played in this business battle.
Why does that little princess from Fukagawa stay in the murky waters of Kyoto and refuse to leave?
Does Yu Shui really have no intention of entering the market?
They had been developing in Shenchuan for too long, and everyone hoped to see a wider world, and Yu Shui was no exception.
Boiling Sheep has not made a move yet. What exactly are the Giles family members hiding in the shadows plotting?
Before Qin Bai even arrived in Kyoto, Liu Tiancheng received news that the Giles family's business elites had already begun operating in secret.
Even a few months ago, Qin Bai had the bar owner come to Kyoto and stay for a long time, making notes every day.
Liu Tiancheng wouldn't ask about these things, nor did he want to get involved.
He was certain that even without those national treasure paintings, Qin Bai would still have found a way to win the bid.
It might be difficult.
It might fail.
But as he said, success depends on human effort, but fate has other plans.
We should at least give it a try.
When it comes to success, the means are insignificant.
Fortunately, Qin Bai was blessed by the heavens and enjoyed the good fortune of Kyoto, which allowed him to successfully win the bid.
Of course, the people who received this favor were not Qin Bai, but the politicians hidden behind the scenes.
If Qin Bai's original plan had been implemented, many people in Kyoto would probably be in downfall by now.
He himself will also be in danger. The people hiding behind the Luo family will not let him go. But this is the consequence of choosing a side. If you want what you want, you have to accept the risks.
Liu Tiancheng stood up and returned to his seat, gesturing for Qin Bai to sit down as well.
"I heard that Luohe is going to abdicate."
"He abdicated but didn't relinquish power; he wants to rule from behind the curtain."
"So what are you planning to do?"
Qin Bai laughed and said, "You don't need to do anything, just watch the show. Anyway, there are people who are more anxious than me."
"You still have pawns in the Luo family?" Liu Tiancheng suddenly stood up, this time he was truly shocked.
If this is true, the people in Kyoto will probably be quite uneasy.
A dark horse that suddenly emerges and gains control over a family that has stood for centuries will inevitably take actions that are detrimental to him.
Qin Bai laughed, "You overestimate me. I merely manipulated people's hearts. Luo Jingyi has wanted that position for a long time, I just..."
A few minutes later, Liu Tiancheng listened to his explanation and then sat back down.
"Well, you've mastered the art of using someone else to do your dirty work and the Thirty-Six Calculations, but I have a feeling things might not go so smoothly. I know a bit about Luo He; he won't just surrender."
“I know he may have already realized something, but these are things that should be a headache for Luo Jingyi, and I don’t plan to get involved for the time being.”
"That's right. For now, we can just watch the infighting within the Luo family. If Luo Jingyi really succeeds, how do you plan to deal with Luo He?"
Qin Bai sighed: "We should nip it in the bud, but given the current situation, that's basically impossible."
Liu Tiancheng said seriously, "I have a suggestion for you: release him."
"Whether from Luo Yuquan's or Luo Qingyan's perspective, or from the politicians behind them."
"Luohe cannot die in Kyoto; it could have a significant impact on your future."
Qin Bai nodded: "I understand that principle, so we still need to come up with a foolproof plan."
"It's good that you understand."
Afterwards, the old man and the young man talked about Qin Bai's future development.
As it gradually got dark, Liu Tiancheng stood up and put on his coat.
"Are you getting ready to drive a tractor around the snow-capped mountains again?"
"No, I'm sending you and Yaoyao out."
Qin Bai was so excited he almost jumped up. He had been away from Kyoto for the past few days, constantly worrying about his little darlings at home, afraid they would cause a huge uproar.
"Grandpa, you are my own grandpa. I will definitely take good care of you from now on."
Liu Tiancheng glared at him: "Get lost! I'm not done living yet. Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and find Yaoyao. If my daughter finds out, you won't be able to leave."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Qin Bai turned and ran out of the study. After finding Feng Yaoyao, he ran outside, abandoning his suitcase.
After getting on the tractor, Liu Tiancheng shouted, "Hold on tight!"
"Don't worry, I have experience."
"Charge!"
"Hurrah!"
Excited voices echoed through the valley.
