"So it really was you who left Horizon Biotechnology Co., Ltd.'s logo in Tailless Monkey's kitchen, guiding me step by step until I traced it to the Cosmos Group. Then, by a stroke of luck, I stopped the assassination of Shen Yuanbao and ultimately uncovered the Blood Alliance lurking within the Nine Super Enterprises—even your grandfather, Lü Zhongqi..."
Meng Chao sank into thought. "Wait. If that was the case, your scheme went far beyond this.
"From the very beginning, when you hired Tailless Monkey to help you find a reporter to interview Shen Yulin, you were planning an intricate game of chess.
"And at that time, I was still deep within the Holy Mountain Temple in Turanze, in a Near-Death State.
"Obviously, you couldn't possibly have guessed that I would return to Dragon City at such a critical moment.
"So, in your original plan, even without me, you were prepared to single-handedly stir up stormy waves. Am I right?"
"That's right."
Lü Siya looked utterly frank and delighted. "Your appearance was an accident. Of course, it was an accident that made me cheer with joy and weep tears of happiness."
"So what exactly are you trying to do?"
Meng Chao stared at Lü Siya.
"The same as you—wipe out the Blood Alliance."
Lü Siya looked as though her conscience was clear, completely open and forthright.
"So you knew about the Blood Alliance long ago?"
Meng Chao's thoughts raced.
"I didn't know that the organization lurking inside the Nine Super Enterprises was the Blood Alliance, risen from the ashes."
Lü Siya said, "But I did sense that beneath Dragon City's post-victory prosperity, dazzling as blooming flowers and sizzling as oil poured onto roaring flames, there was a terrifying undercurrent. And this undercurrent was very likely connected to my grandfather, Lü Zhongqi.
