Chapter 174 The conspiracy is exposed
At the end of the stairs on the first floor, Ling Shuo was standing with his hands behind his back, waiting respectfully for Cheng Yi.
Seeing Cheng Yi coming down the stairs, he nodded slightly, "Master, everything is ready."
Cheng Yi's eagle eyes narrowed slightly as he glanced at the empty first floor hall. "Where are Qi Huang and Sui Tang?"
"Qi Huang is still interrogating the captured spy. Sui Tang has already gone to the conference room to negotiate with Vanessa."
Cheng Yi raised his hand to twist the knot of his tie, twisted his neck twice, and walked past Ling Shuo with his long legs. "Let's go, find Sui Tang first, and tell Qi Huang to come over after he finishes the interrogation."
Ling Shuo turned half a body in the direction Cheng Yi left and responded respectfully.
"yes."
Under the Berlin sky, the uneven red bricks and green tiles cut the skyline precisely and ruthlessly.
The sunlight is completely blocked by the majestic skyscrapers, and the shadows cast are like a ghost hand, which seems to be able to cut off the vitality of the city.
Two silver-gray Veritas supercars came speeding from a distance, their speed almost cutting through the air.
Inside the car, a man sitting casually was flipping through the documents in his hand, his brows slightly furrowed. His stern expression made his perfect face look even more abstinent.
Sui Tang leaned against the car door with his legs crossed, squinting lazily, and said to Cheng Yi in a disjointed manner, "Here is all the news that Vanessa brought back from the mainland."
Three days ago, Vanessa, who was far away in Italy, received a highly confidential letter from the mainland.
She had received the news that Luo Chuan was recuperating on the mainland a long time ago, so she did not dare to delay for a moment and started the decryption task immediately.
But what she didn't expect was that such a high-level confidential letter only contained three short words: I'm awake.
Vanessa sensed something was wrong at the first moment, so she immediately sent someone to the mainland to negotiate with Luo Chuan in person and bring back the message he wanted to convey.
Sui Tang took a cigarette out of the box, lit it between his teeth, took two puffs and continued, "The information Luo Chuan gave is consistent with the results of our previous investigation. The assassination of the second-in-command of Qianji Lock is related to the Lupinos family, but we still can't find out which branch is responsible.
And their action this time was to pinpoint the point where you were infected with the neurotoxin, without any error.
The second-in-command died on the night you were poisoned. Three days before that, he was invited to a dinner on a cruise ship in English waters.
The dinner was held with such high confidentiality that even the female companions had to have received an invitation.
But after he was assassinated, all the passengers were checked overnight and no suspicious persons were found.
I also heard that the death was extremely tragic, and not even a complete body could be found."
Sui Tang paused slightly when he said this, and pinched the cigarette between his teeth with his fingers.
“That same night, the remnants of his men secretly began their rebellion.
Most of the key personnel of the British Qianji Lock headquarters were controlled at the first moment, and their boss was also locked up. This preparation definitely took more than a day or two to make.
And the timing was perfect, the coincidences were incredible.”
Cheng Yi's brows gradually furrowed. Everything ultimately pointed to him.
Sui Tang crossed his hands, resting his elbows on his knees, the smoke between his fingers slowly floating, making it difficult to make sense of it.
“But this news was released four days late, so the news of the rebellion that Luochuan received was always late.
It was also because of this that when I heard Qu Le say that Luochuan was going back to England to quell the unrest, I was a little suspicious, but I didn't think of it as a conspiracy theory. After all, it was normal for Qianji to lock someone down.
Now it seems that the message was most likely not sent by Qianjisuo, but by Lupinos.
The purpose is to trick Luochuan back and defeat all the forces under your command one by one.
Considering that the Sui family's business in mainland China has also been significantly affected this month, I think my guess is correct."
"Luochuan was rescued this time because Qing Shanyue went out of seclusion to ask the Baiqing Society to send troops.
Because you are in a coma and your life or death is uncertain, the situation in Tavia is in a mess and there is no time to take care of the British side.
If Qianji Lock were to be destroyed, Qingshan Yue's subordinates or himself would be the first to be retaliated by his enemies. If he falls, we would certainly not be better off.
Fortunately, Bai Yao was willing to send troops to rescue us, otherwise the situation would be even worse than the worst-case scenario."
Sui Tang changed his tone to a serious one, raised his hand and nodded at Cheng Yi, took two breaths, and relaxed.
"But they certainly didn't expect that you weren't dead, and because of Qu Le, the Bai Qing Society rescued Luo Chuan and settled the turmoil at Qianji Lock.
Not only did they fail to weaken the power of Luo Chuan's men and kill him, but they also allowed him to accidentally seize the majority of power in Qianji Lock.
Moreover, the arms that the Baiqing Society later returned made Tavia's Central European influence increase instead of decrease.
This group of people's calculations have completely collapsed."
But after hearing these "good news", Cheng Yi's brows did not relax for a moment.
They've gone through so much trouble but gained nothing, so they definitely won't let it go.
Moreover, even he himself was caught off guard by his poisoning. How could the rebels far away in England know about it all of a sudden?
There are so many doubts that it is impossible to sort them out.
Cheng Yi raised his hand and pointed at the last page of the document. "Here, Luo Chuan said there's more news that needs to be reported in person when he returns. What does that mean?"
Sui Tang took a deep breath of the last of his cigarette and shook his head hesitantly, "I don't understand at all."
The reason why Luo Chuan sent such a concise message to Vanessa was because he was afraid that someone would intercept and decipher it. Since this matter was Lupinos's work from beginning to end, those people must not know how much information they have in their hands.
The art of war is the art of deception; therefore, when one is capable, pretend to be incapable; when one is going to use something, pretend not to use it.
It is better to plan more than less, and the outcome will be clear.
But, if Vanessa had already sent someone to the mainland to personally convey the message, why was Luo Chuan still so cautious? What information did he need to wait until he met Cheng Yi in person to reveal it?
Cheng Yi retracted his five fingers slightly, closed the folder with a snap, and said no more nonsense.
"When will he be back?"
Sui Tang scratched his nose and smacked his lips. "Tsk, I heard he's able to walk now, but it'll take a while before he can fly back to Germany. Probably another week."
