Chapter 456 Equivalent Cost
At this hour, Ye Sanqing naturally couldn't possibly start a fight online with the Eighth and Ninth Concubines.
Time was secondary; she had a vague feeling that both of them would be defeated by Ye Wanyin.
If even Ye Wanyin can handle someone, why would she need to deal with them personally?
What's the difference between this and trying to challenge a boss before even leaving the starting area?
Regardless, send them all to Lu Mingye. If Lu Mingye doesn't care, then send them to Lu Wangshen.
Ye Sanqing found the Lu family quite interesting, so after getting off the plane, on the way to the training ground, he and Sheng Hanyu went over everything that had happened the night before, as well as the relationships between the various people involved.
These things were meant to be said, but since there can't be any records, they can only be said face-to-face.
Actually, the two of them had some fragmented information yesterday, but they still needed to sort out the complete sequence of events.
After their discussion, they summarized several points that they were particularly concerned about.
While not the most important thing, it should be placed near the top: the matter of the mysterious person X.
If he is a member of the legendary mysterious force, then this matter is not just between him and Ye Wanyin.
The fact that X approached Song Taotao not only shows that he has a fairly accurate eye for people, but it also suggests that he is quite skilled in this type of matter.
X... what exactly is his goal?
But all he's done so far is send Ye Wanyin a gift and offer her a cooperation proposal.
In other words, before X takes any further action, they want to make more contingency plans, but they don't have enough information to support them.
Then we can only leave it there.
Secondly, there's the relationship between the various factions within the Lu family.
At least on the surface, Lu Mingye's cooperation is now openly discussed, and Lu Wangshen has also expressed a positive attitude, but it's hard to say what the latter's true purpose is.
Lu Wangshen is the kind of person who is good at putting on a good show. At first glance, you might even think he has a mild temper.
But Ye Sanqing wouldn't mistake this feeling.
Lu Wangshen is definitely the kind of person who would stab someone in the back.
She even felt that he had already taken it out, but just wasn't pointing it at her.
If he didn't do something in a situation like yesterday, it wouldn't be him.
In other words, Lu Wangshen's current focus is on Lu Wangqian. After he achieves this goal, it is still unknown whether they can cooperate in the next step.
Sacrificing the online casino right off the bat is indeed a decisive and extravagant move, almost like starting peace talks with a small country and having the other party immediately hand over the mining rights without saying a word.
But the fact that they could hand it over so easily means they still have more mines.
In other words, online casinos in China are illegal and can be regulated, but if someone has the ability to operate one, how could they only operate in the domestic market?
But overseas, it's beyond their jurisdiction, and in some countries, it's not even illegal. Lu Wangshen might even earn more by focusing on overseas business in the future.
He offered Ye Sanqing a very attractive pledge of allegiance that he couldn't refuse, but he would certainly demand an equal price in return.
Consequently, Lu Mingye is also untrustworthy.
His reasons are more complicated. Putting aside everything else, he was greatly influenced by Lu Wangshen.
Ye Sanqing didn't know if he was aware of the matter or not; perhaps he was aware, but he was just putting on a show of obedience to Lu Wangshen.
But there is also the possibility that Lu Wangshen's control over him was so subtle that he didn't even realize it, and he did the things that Lu Wangshen had anticipated, thinking that it was his own decision.
This doesn't have a huge impact on Ye Sanqing, but it still can't be ignored.
The Lu family has many other messy forces, including the poisoning incident a few years ago, the mysterious Edmund, and even Lu Xuening can be considered a force, although it is still very weak.
Ironically, Ye Wanyin now seems to be the only relatively easy-going and understandable person in the Lu family.
Of course, there's also Lu Wangqian, but he doesn't seem important anymore.
He had already fallen into the trap, and Ye Sanqing found it hard to imagine what else could happen.
As for Lu Xuening, Ye Sanqing will spend some time with her for now.
It seems that Lu Xuening is only eager to find a backer and escape from the Lu family. Her purpose is simpler than the others.
Edmund, too, with a name like that, it's obvious he's coming back for revenge. Ye Sanqing is actually quite looking forward to seeing some revenge drama.
It's a pity that the whole thing can't be streamed live. Sigh, could Lu Wangshen make a director's cut or something to watch?
"That's a good suggestion. With his look, he could easily become an art-house film director."
Sheng Hanyu largely agreed with Ye Sanqing's analysis. Based on his observations and all the information he had received, Ye Sanqing's current approach was not problematic.
"How could you make such a joke?"
Ye Sanqing said with a smile.
She wasn't really blaming Sheng Hanyu for joking about disabled people; in fact... Lu Wangshen himself was quite happy to joke about such things.
Lu Wangshen has the ability to create whatever look he wants. If he were to wear a prosthetic limb and walk around one day, Ye Sanqing wouldn't find it strange at all.
But will that depend on Edmund's efforts?
Edmond's company claims to produce medical devices, but it is actually moving towards developing high-tech assistive devices.
"Don't mind it, I don't really have a problem with him."
There are strong opinions.
But it's a bit personal, so I can't say it out loud.
Sheng Hanyu really disliked Lu Wangshen's air of controlling the intelligence network!
In terms of intelligence, if anything could surpass him, it would be Ye Sanqing's own system, not some other human.
For some inexplicable reason, Sheng Hanyu actually took Ye Sanqing's earlier joking remark, "You really are an intelligence chief," to heart.
And who asked him to edit? Is the stuff he edits even watchable? Does he have any aesthetic sense? Is he going to edit cult films?
But Sheng Hanyu knew perfectly well that Ye Sanqing wouldn't truly believe Lu Wangshen, so of course he wouldn't bring himself to ask for trouble.
"Speaking of this, I think Edmund's news is still..."
Ye Sanqing said thoughtfully.
"Okay. I'll check."
Sheng Hanyu quickly agreed to the task.
"Did I not say that? I suspect... he's actually a member of the Lu family too."
It's not appropriate to discuss the game-related aspects directly, but Ye Sanqing believes Sheng Hanyu will understand.
Sheng Hanyu recalled Edmund's appearance.
It looks like it has undergone extensive surgery, so it's completely unreliable.
Ye Sanqing wouldn't make wild guesses, so his analysis must be from a game design perspective.
In other words, is it possible that he was identified as a member of the Lu family because Edmund was also a target of a romance plot?
It's not unreasonable to deduce the cause from the result, but could you please control the age range of the target audience?
"In other words, what I should be investigating is whether the Lu family has any missing persons of similar age to him?"
Sheng Hanyu quickly realized what was happening and said.
As expected, Ye Sanqing wouldn't let Lu Wangshen investigate this matter.
It seems he's quite special!
