Ming Disha said, "I'll pay them back. Don't get so worked up! But first, I need to make sure I'm safe. They've already begun secretly organizing people to arrest me. You know, being wanted by the Elder Council—even if they can't catch me—is still a huge hassle. I have to protect you all too."
Lu Chengwen said, "Then settle this matter."
Ming Disha said, "Could Song Sheng Chaoying be the ringleader colluding with Sky Net?"
"No."
Lu Chengwen answered without hesitation. "He's just an idealist. He wants everything done his way and thinks the rules of this world are rotten, that the Elder Council has lost its authority. But he's not talented enough, and he has no control over his temper. He thought wiping out the Jiang Family with a huge group of people would let him reshape the order, but it all went off the rails. He's panicking too."
"Those one hundred and thirty billion..."
"Those one hundred and thirty billion are his most presentable achievement lately, the achievement that can steady people's hearts and consolidate his position. Don't mess with it, seriously. This was the previous Old Dean's mess. The fact that he took it over and wants to resolve it is actually a good thing. I fucking suspect the Old Dean was the real ghost. He was flirting with Sky Net's boss. That's extremely abnormal."
"How much longer are you staying overseas? I can't get used to any of the food here."
"I don't know."
