The notorious Snake Card Spade K, Lu Daoxing. If Qin Siyang and Zhao Longfei showed any connection to him, people with ulterior motives could make an issue out of it.
So Lu Daoxing came in a hurry and left after killing.
But the three of them had already understood each other without saying anything. Even without any communication, they knew what the others were thinking.
Zhao Longfei looked at the bloodstains on the ground that had already turned dark red before slowly speaking, "I really didn't expect Lu Daoxing to ambush Jiang Hao…"
"Actually, it makes sense. Catching someone off guard. Everyone knows he wants to kill Jiang Yuanrui, so he deliberately went to kill Jiang Hao instead."
"But what if he failed?"
Qin Siyang gave a bitter laugh, "From the way Professor Lu looked, it seems he put revenge above his own life or death a long time ago."
"Ah… I don't know what to say."
Qin Siyang looked at Zhao Longfei, "Principal Zhao, what should we do now?"
Zhao Longfei looked around at the empty surroundings and said, "A top-level Snake Card wanted criminal was just here. It's too dangerous. We should go back to South Glory first."
Qin Siyang nodded solemnly, "Mm, that makes a lot of sense!"
"No time to waste. Let's run for our lives!"
"Okay!"
As they spoke, the two of them jumped into Zhao Longfei's official car one after another and drove away in a cloud of dust.
While arranging for people to clean up the scene, Zhao Longju looked disdainfully at the direction the car had gone, "One old, one young, their acting is equally exaggerated, and their character is equally low... Could they be father and son who were separated many years ago?"
The Zhao family staff responsible for cleaning up the scene likewise looked disdainful and muttered, "Damn it! I hate cleaning up the scene the most. I end up covered in the smell of blood every time! Cleaning up the black market was bad enough before, but today was a meeting where all kinds of big shots were meeting, and I still have to clean up the scene! And I had to do it twice!"
"It's not even as good as working in the black market!"

In the car, Zhao Longfei called Zhao Longteng and told him the news of Jiang Yuanrui, Jiang Yuanfeng, and Jiang Changqing's deaths.
["Huh? I was only gone for an hour to see Secretary-General Gu off, and all three people from the Jiang family who attended today are dead?"]
"Yes. If Jiang Yuanrui hadn't wanted to show off to me and stayed behind alone until the end, I'm afraid Lu Daoxing wouldn't have been able to avoid everyone's eyes and make his move so smoothly."
["That really was beyond my expectations. I didn't expect Jiang Hao not to come to the meeting himself, nor did I expect Lu Daoxing to dare to kill Jiang Hao."]
"Yeah, through a combination of coincidences, things somehow turned out for the better."
["Fine. I'll arrange for the people in charge of the branch offices in each area to pass the news that the three members of the Jiang family were killed to the Jiang family members nearby. Let their Jiang family have a good time making a scene."]
"What does Big Brother mean?"
Zhao Longteng's voice was full of ease and delight, ["Because Jiang Yuanrui provoked Lu Daoxing and caused chaos throughout the Jiang family, many people resent him deeply. Now that Jiang Yuanrui is dead, I wonder how they'll react. At the very least, they definitely won't be united with Jiang Hao."]
["Also, Jiang Yuanfeng is dead. Of Jiang Hao's six brothers, the second, fourth, and sixth have all been killed by Lu Daoxing. Only the eldest, Jiang Hao, the third, Jiang Yuanze, and the fifth, Jiang Yuanzhong, are left. A six-legged grasshopper suddenly had three of its legs broken. I'm afraid it won't be able to hop around as energetically as before."]
["Finally, Jiang Changqing was Jiang Hao's designated heir. Now that Lu Daoxing has killed him, there will definitely be many people getting ideas. A bunch of sons and daughters fighting for the position of heir, wouldn't that be ten times livelier than the Yan family?"]
["Anyway, the heads of these three people were chopped off together. There's no way the Jiang family won't fall into chaos! Ahahahahaha…cough, cough. Oh right, Little Qin is beside you, isn't he? Sorry, I lost control just now."]
Qin Siyang curled his lips, "It's fine, Uncle Zhao. I know you're feeling great inside. Laugh if you want."
["No, how could I gloat over someone else's misfortune? I just happened to think of something happy."]
"…"
———
Qin Siyang returned to the guesthouse.
Hu Chan and the others, who had already left after the dinner, had all heard about Lu Daoxing's sudden appearance and came to ask whether he was all right.
Seeing that Qin Siyang was not only completely unharmed but even seemed somewhat refreshed, they all relaxed.
Listening to Qin Siyang describe what had happened at the time, they were all astonished.
After everyone left, Wen Shu knocked on Qin Siyang's door and asked how the meeting had gone today.
Qin Siyang knew that although Wen Shu was extremely powerful, she ultimately had no channels for gathering information. She cared about his safety, but could only learn about it by asking him.
So Qin Siyang gave Wen Shu a detailed account of what had happened today.
"In short, after this Crystal Coin Issuance Conference, the path ahead for all of us has become much clearer."
Wen Shu smiled, "That's good. It feels like you've been in better and better shape lately."
"Better and better? It's not just better and better. I'm doing great!"
After chatting for a few more moments, the two returned to their rooms to rest. [T/N: Nothing else? It is 763rd chapter for god's sake.]

Jiang Hao, who was staying at Jiang Yuanrui's home in Zone 2, removed his disguise as Jiang Yuanrui.
He looked at the corpse of his son, Jiang Changqing, in front of him without joy or sorrow.
He then put Jiang Changqing's corpse into a storage box and looked coldly out at the night through the window.
But Guo Jiuxiao beside him had his eyes wide open, his expression extremely shocked, "His… his corpse? Could that be…"
Jiang Hao nodded lightly, "That's right. It's exactly what you're thinking. Unfortunately, Changqing hadn't fully matured yet, so its performance was reduced by at least seventy percent. This time, Lu Daoxing killed the three of them, causing me an immeasurable loss."
"But… why experiment on Jiang Changqing?"
"Because I can only experiment on him."
"What?!"
Jiang Hao took a folded piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Guo Jiuxiao, "The method is here."
Guo Jiuxiao did not immediately open the paper. Instead, he looked at Jiang Hao in horror, his gaze shifting uncertainly, as if worried that Jiang Hao might kill him to silence him now that he knew a secret he should not have known.
Jiang Hao, however, said leisurely, "You don't need to be afraid. Since I collected my son's corpse in front of you and told you about this technology, I'm doing so with the intention of sharing it with you."
Guo Jiuxiao remained wary, "Sharing? Can a secret this classified really be shared? President Jiang controls the Haori Chamber of Commerce, and your own strength is formidable. If you wanted to kill me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to defend myself."
"The Haori Chamber of Commerce? Things are different now."
Jiang Hao's aged face was filled with worry, "Three of my five younger brothers are dead, and another one no longer acknowledges me. The Haori Chamber of Commerce can't stand with me alone. I have to find some people to help. Our previous cooperation with Professor Guo was very pleasant, so I hope we can continue working together. What I just shared is the deposit I'm giving you, and it also counts as my sincerity."
Seeing Jiang Hao's sincere words, and thinking that he seemed to have no reason to kill him, Guo Jiuxiao opened the paper and looked at it.
As he read the contents of the paper, Guo Jiuxiao's brows became more and more heavy.
A deep, instinctive disgust gradually appeared on his face.
