Chapter 448 The Predator Trapping Plan (47)
Qin Shao broke out in a cold sweat from the question. He whispered, "The important thing is that I beat Andrei..."
"No!" Yan Zhen said, "It's because you have feelings for the little girl and even gave her a little red flower."
Qin Shao: "..."
-
The next day, the three of them had breakfast at the hotel, and Haier clearly sensed that something was off between Yan Zhen and Qin Shao.
Yan Zhen's expression was indifferent, while Qin Shao looked guilty.
He twice tried to give the small cakes on his plate to Yan Zhen, but Yan Zhen moved them back each time, saying sarcastically, "Give them to the little girl, I don't like them."
Qin Shao: "..."
After finishing breakfast and leaving the hotel, Haier lagged a few steps behind Yan Zhen and secretly asked Qin Shao, "Brother-in-law, what happened? Did you and my sister have a fight?"
Qin Shao: "...Hmm."
"Because of what?"
Qin Shao hesitated for a moment before explaining the whole story to Haier.
Haier was shocked after hearing this: "They can even bring up old grievances from the kindergarten?"
Qin Shao: "I didn't expect her to care about this..."
Yan Zhen, who was in front, suddenly turned around: "What are you two whispering about? Aren't you coming or not?"
"Coming, coming!" Haier responded, then thought for a moment before following Yan Zhen, not forgetting to state his attitude, "If you ask me, brother-in-law, you're really in the wrong. Why are you bringing up little girls and little red flowers in the middle of the night? This is all your fault."
Qin Shao: "..."
The three of them boarded a flying vehicle and left the island. Haier, sitting in the pilot's seat, asked Yan Zhen, who was checking the map in the co-pilot's seat, "Sis, where are we going?"
Yan Zhen didn't even look up: "Isteffen."
Haier was taken aback.
Yan Zhen suddenly remembered something and turned to Qin Shao, who was sitting alone in the back row, and said, "I forgot to tell you, Andrei is dead. This matter will eventually come to us. In order to eliminate future troubles, I plan to strike first and instigate a fight between the three major families. We will then take advantage of the chaos and reap the benefits."
She spoke calmly, as if she were informing Qin Shao rather than discussing it with him.
"Are you going to join?"
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Qin Shao nodded: "Yes."
As soon as Yan Zhen turned away, Qin Shao couldn't help but feel secretly delighted.
Jiang Ti's enemy in A001 is already dead, so she could have ignored all this and just left.
But she risked everything to stay and stir up trouble, all for him.
Although she was angry with him, she still stood up for him.
Over the next few minutes, Yan Zhen briefly explained his plan.
Qin Shao nodded and cooperated throughout, but Haier, who was listening nearby, was terrified: "Is it really that easy to incite them to fight?"
Their small team of only three people was trying to instigate a fight between the three top families on this super planet; it seemed like a pipe dream.
Those who can sit in the top-tier families are not pushovers; how could they be so easily fooled?
"Three cobblers with their wits combined are better than one Zhuge Liang." Yan Zhen patted Haier on the shoulder. "Have some confidence in yourself."
Haier had been following Yan Zhen around these days and had enjoyed many benefits. Seeing her confident demeanor now, he felt reassured, but at the same time, he asked in confusion, "Who is Zhuge Liang?"
Yan Zhen: "..."
Upon returning to Eastfin, Yan Zhen chose to settle in the slums.
This place is a melting pot of all sorts of people, including many undocumented immigrants.
Hiding among these people helps them conceal their identities.
-
The Winston family.
The Winston family made their fortune in the early years through drugs, arms, and training bounty hunters. These three highly profitable businesses allowed the Winston family to quickly amass enormous wealth in just a few decades, securing a place in A001.
But in A001, where there are centuries-old noble families everywhere, the Winston family, with its shallow roots, is often ridiculed as a "nouveau riche".
At this moment, in the Winston mansion, the over-sixty-year-old patriarch Edmund Winston sternly questioned the trembling servant kneeling on the ground: "You don't know? What do you mean you don't know where the young master went? Haven't you been by his side the whole time?"
The servant broke out in a cold sweat: "Three days ago, the young master took a fancy to a woman on Celdora Island. He said he was going on a date with her that night and told me not to come with him..."
"What woman?"
The servant discovered Andrei's disappearance the day after he was killed. Before returning to his master's house to report the news, he had already investigated all the information he could find.
He quickly crawled a few steps on his knees and presented the information he had gathered about "that woman".
"Tourists visiting A001?"
“Yes,” the servant said. “The young master and she had arranged to meet at the manor, but for some reason, after returning to the manor, they drove off again.”
Edmund asked quickly, "Where did they go?"
"...I don't know. As you know, there are signal jammers on Celdora Island. No vehicles on the island are allowed to have GPS trackers or dashcams installed. We still haven't found the young master and the car."
Upon hearing this, Edmund flew into a rage and kicked his servant away.
The servant was kicked and thrown a long way, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Celdora Island is the territory of the Winston family. When the elder Winston, who made his fortune in the drug trade, developed the island, his main selling point was to make it safe and worry-free for his customers.
Edmund never imagined his son would disappear on his own turf.
"What are you all standing there for! Go out and search!" Edmund roared at his servant, who was kneeling on the ground trembling with fear. "Send more men, dig three feet into the ground and find Andrei!"
The servant, who was certain of death, returned to report the news, but luckily escaped with his life. Upon hearing this, he scrambled out of the room.
After the servants left, Edmund repeatedly checked the surveillance footage from the manor on the island of Celdora.
The last shot of the surveillance footage shows Andrei driving the woman away from the manor.
Everything seemed calm on the surface, but Edmund felt a great unease as he watched his son's last moments captured on the surveillance footage.
He had a strong premonition that his son had most likely met with misfortune.
Moreover, his death is very likely related to this woman.
Edmund reviewed the information the woman had left in the Blu-ray scanner—Jiang Xiaomeng, 22 years old, a tourist from planet G319, who entered A001 a week ago…
Edmund had dealt with so many different kinds of people, and he could tell at a glance that the information was fake.
It appears this was a premeditated murder.
Thinking of this, Edmund laughed in exasperation.
To strike on his turf and kill his son—no one else would dare do such a thing, even if they had ten lives.
The only people who would dare to take this risk are the Qin family and the Thorne family.
Edmund pondered for a long time, recalling the grudge between Andrei and Qin Shao, the eldest son of the Qin family, ten years ago.
Could it have been the Qin family?
