Chapter 1128: Chapter 1098: Who Pays for the Loss

"Because of Xiao Ya!" The impulsive words were merely a retort to Xiao Mu’s mocking smile.

"Who? Who did it!" A roar echoed in the vast office as Shao Weihua hurled whatever he could grab in the same direction. His glasses were pushed down to the tip of his nose, making him look quite childish and ridiculous, while the veins on his forehead throbbed as if they might burst from cerebral congestion, prompting people to keep their distance.

"We don’t know who did it. The ship suddenly caught fire, and now the police have intervened. However, the goods on the ship might be delayed by a few days."

With a crash, more items were hurled at the reporter’s head. The poor guy could only use his hands to fend off the pens and folders, luckily there weren’t any sharp objects like scissors in the mix, or else he might have lost his life. Even so, a big bump swelled on his forehead, causing great pain yet he couldn’t avenge the damage and had to swallow his grievances.

At that moment, the office door was pushed open, and Wang Zhanting walked in from outside, holding a folder. He shot a glance at the poor guy, told him to leave first, and started picking up the scattered stationery from the floor, putting them back into the pencil cup.

"What are you doing here? I thought you were ready to spread your wings and fly on your own?" Seeing Wang Zhanting, Shao Weihua’s anger burned hotter than a wildfire.

"I know you’re definitely angry, but shouldn’t you first hear my explanation? Maybe I can give you a satisfactory answer." Wang Zhanting calmly placed the gathered stationery on the slightly disarrayed desk, unfazed by Shao Weihua’s anger, seemingly expecting this ridicule all along.

"Explanation? Can your explanation recover the tens of billions I’ve lost?" The recently gathered stationery was seized by Shao Weihua but not thrown; at least he knew the person standing opposite. Despite not fearing him much, Shao Weihua held back. He pushed his glasses up his nose bridge, his pea-sized eyes fixed on Wang Zhanting’s calm face. "You made me lose tens of billions just for your little cleverness, and I’m about to give those pigs new-style weapons for free!"

"Actually, to secure the drug route in Sicily, we might not need Nicholas!"

"Without Nicholas? What do you mean?"

"I’ve already found out the exact whereabouts of Mr. Su’s batch. If you agree, we can act immediately. As long as we get hold of that batch, you don’t have to worry about Nicholas ignoring you, do you?" Wang Zhanting asked with strong allure. "My brother’s matter was merely to serve as a reminder to Nicholas. But hasn’t Mr. Shao also understood that he’s unreliable? Instead of waiting for someone ready to strike you, why not act first and nominate someone you can control as the Mafia Godfather? Isn’t this more suitable for Chairman Quan’s intentions?"

Unable to deny being captivated by Wang Zhanting’s words, Shao Weihua slowly settled into the leather chair, sinking into contemplation, while Wang Zhanting showed no sign of yielding, continuing his pursuit. "The ship caught fire; doesn’t Mr. Shao find it possible? Captain Renado is quite renowned in the industry as a real good man. After safely sailing for decades, his reputation is particularly high. How could such a careful person be so careless to let the engine room catch fire? The key point is that those goods were pledged on the ship. Setting aside that most of our goods have been transported out, if the rest encounters any mishaps, who benefits the most?"

"The one who benefits is the culprit!" Wang Zhanting nodded, and finally, this foolish person realized what he intended to say.

"Additionally, I can disclose reliable information; when the ship caught fire, Xiao Lin was present and even got into a fight, which the police haven’t disclosed at all."

"Xiao Lin? Why would he be involved?" Shao Weihua eyed Wang Zhanting suspiciously, as mentioning Xiao Lin at this time certainly carried intention.

"Chairman Quan wants to eliminate the Xiao Family here, thus pinning the blame on the Mafia. And what we’re doing now looks somewhat high-profile!" Here, Wang Zhanting deliberately glanced at Shao Weihua, who seemed unaware of what was being discussed, looking puzzled. "However, being high-profile also has its advantages. The current situation forces Nicholas to break his three-month promise and oppose Xiao Lin, thanks to Mr. Shao’s scheme putting Xiao Lin in the police’s sights. So no matter what the two further promise, they can’t escape the police-criminal tie. Traditionally, Sicilian police find dealing with the Mafia exasperating."

Hearing this, Shao Weihua’s puffed-up face eased, and indeed, this was his plan. Unfortunately, those in distant Yanjing couldn’t see it. But looking at Wang Zhanting, Shao Weihua chuckled, unexpectedly finding this person quite perceptive.

"Nicholas and Xiao Lin must become adversaries, making our presence seem small. With the police focusing on Nicholas, our side can act subtly. With Robert around, naturally, the attention will shift to the Mafia. With this cover, what should we fear?" Shao Weihua continued, following Wang Zhanting’s lead, his smiling face expanding until his whole mouth seemed to split to the back of his head. "Come, come, Zhan Ting, sit down. I think you make perfect sense. However, there’s a crucial issue at hand: how to get Xiao Zhenfeng to Sicily, for which I’ve endured significant criticism and scolding from Chairman Quan due to the delay."

"Haha, that’s really not difficult!" Wang Zhanting laughed, mysteriously. "Mr. Shao, is there anywhere in Sicily we haven’t touched yet?"

"Nicholas is already in our control, Sin City now belongs to Xiao Lin, and the remaining is..."

"Exactly! ’Wagangai.’ That’s another force that can restrain the Mafia. Previously, we intended to align with the three eastern provinces precisely for this. Though he fled before, reportedly, he was sighted again in ’Wagangai.’ If we dispatch someone from ’Black Crow’ to invite him for talks, we might seize another route in Sicily back. Thus, the tens of billions you lost will return unchanged to your hands."

Shao Weihua laughed, and Wang Zhanting followed suit. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, feel free to support it at Qidian (qidian.com) with recommendation votes, monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
