Manager Wang's face was ashen. After hanging up the phone, several more Huayi staff members came up from the other end of the corridor.
"Keep an eye on Miss Tao here. Call me anytime if anything happens," Manager Wang instructed, his eyes filled with anger. "Li Shan is definitely not clean. I'm going to catch her myself!"
With that, he turned back to look at Li Ruobing and Su Rui and said, "I'm really sorry, but I have to leave for a while."
"If you need any help, call me." Su Rui extended a hand, offering a business card, a meaningful smile on his face. "Li Shan's parents are both deceased, and she has a younger brother in Nanning."
Manager Wang was momentarily stunned, then understood the implication of Su Rui's words.
"Thanks."
With that, Manager Wang strode out, dialing his phone again, his voice growing softer and softer...
"Hello, Ziteng! Have your subordinates go check around Nanning, yes... Li Shan has a younger brother..."
Li Ruobing and Su Rui exchanged glances.
The matter concerning Tao Wanqing's assistant would be handled by the people from Huayi. Su Rui and Li Ruobing had more important things to do.
Sitting in the quiet car, Li Ruobing closed her eyes, slowly massaging her temples with her thumb.
"You said before that you know everyone's secrets," Li Ruobing suddenly asked.
Su Rui expertly held the steering wheel and nodded. "That's right."
"What about Qin Lan's?"
"Since it's everyone, of course that includes her," Su Rui chuckled. "The dirt I have on Qin Lan is enough to be fatal in one blow."
Li Ruobing let out a long breath, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.
"Give it to me. Name your price."
Li Ruobing was very angry.
When she heard Manager Wang recount the events to her in the hospital corridor, her expression didn't change, but she was extremely furious inside.
Qin Lan didn't even try to hide her intentions.
She openly had her subordinate drive a car from the Li Residence to Huayi, and after being refused, she orchestrated this car accident, or rather, attack.
She wanted to tell Li Ruobing that she was behind this, and that she would cut off all the resources Pearl wanted, little by little!
From the previous loan refusal to this car accident involving the spokesperson, Li Ruobing had never felt so angry and stifled since starting her business!
She was a very rational person, but even she had been provoked now.
"No," Su Rui surprisingly shook his head.
"Why?" Li Ruobing gritted her teeth.
"Qin Lan is involved with too many people and forces, and her identity is too sensitive. Even if that information were released, the Li Family and certain officials would do everything they could to protect her," Su Rui explained. "Even if you could bring her down through such means, your Li Family would also be greatly implicated. This is a foolish move that harms the enemy a thousand while damaging yourself eight hundred."
"Furthermore, have you considered whether your father might also be involved in some of the shady things Qin Lan has done?"
"Or perhaps, in certain matters, your father is the principal..."
Su Rui's words were profound and carried another meaning.
Li Ruobing fell silent.
She knew very well that the Li Family had grown from nothing over several decades, and it was impossible for Li Guodong, who started from scratch, not to have touched any dirty business. However, through later embellishments, these matters had been well-covered up, shrouded in a layer of darkness, and those in the upper echelons were well aware of it.
If Qin Lan's dirt were exposed, Li Guodong couldn't remain uninvolved. Tearing off this veil would expose many things to public scrutiny, making it difficult to resolve.
"There are many ways to bring down Qin Lan..." Su Rui said calmly. "I don't want to hear such mutually destructive ideas from your mouth again... It will affect my impression of you."
"What are the methods?" Li Ruobing naturally ignored the latter half of Su Rui's sentence. Anyway, Su Rui had never shown her much reverence.
Moreover, she was not in the mood to play word games with Su Rui right now.
She just wanted to vent the anger in her heart.
"The simplest one... assassination. You know, in the eyes of some assassination organizations, everyone's life can be measured by money. People like Qin Lan aren't worth much." Su Rui hesitated for a moment, still not saying the name of the organization. Compared to the current Li Ruobing, she couldn't yet access that level of existence. "Only five million! One Barrett, one 12.7mm caliber bullet, and she'll be on her way within three days."
"Qin Lan has seven or eight highly skilled bodyguards with her at all times," Li Ruobing said coldly.
"If that organization wants to kill someone, no one can escape. They even successfully assassinated the president of a small African country and escaped from a force of thousands," Su Rui's eyes held a hint of recollection and depth, smiling nostalgically. "Those killers are monsters, the kings of the mercenary world."
Li Ruobing had never seen Su Rui show such an expression. After a moment of silence, she asked, "You... you didn't come from that organization, did you?"
She felt a little uncertain.
She had indeed seen Su Rui's detailed profile, but such information was easily faked.
If what Su Rui said was true, and there was such a terrifying assassination organization in the world, it wouldn't be difficult for its internal members to forge a document.
The more Li Ruobing thought about it, the more she felt Su Rui fit this description.
He was mysterious, cunning, powerful and ruthless in combat, and capable of controlling everything.
Since Li Ruobing and Su Rui met, everything that had happened was almost entirely within his strategic planning.
And the scene where he decisively defeated Lin Jiatao's subordinates – those chilling moves were clearly methods of killing!
"In this life... no," Su Rui smiled and waved his hand. "I just want to tell you that killing Qin Lan is easy, but you need to consider the very serious consequences."
"The sudden death of a high-level family member would trigger intense turmoil and significant changes within the Li Family. That doesn't align with my previous plans."
Li Ruobing calmed down.
She had indeed been very angry, but after hearing Su Rui's words, she had also become composed.
She wanted to vent her frustration, but she didn't want the Li Family to fall into turmoil because of it. After all, Li Family blood flowed through her veins.
However, the anger simmering in her chest was truly difficult to release.
"If you simply want to vent, I don't recommend going after Qin Lan," Su Rui said with a smile. "You have a better option."
A flicker of understanding passed through Li Ruobing's beautiful eyes. In an instant, she knew who Su Rui was referring to.
"Want to go over there?" Su Rui asked with a smile, seeking Li Ruobing's opinion.
Li Ruobing remained expressionless.
"Let's go deal with him."
