"Su... Su Yang, are you telling the truth?" Shangguan Qianji was so shocked that he forgot to call Su Yang 'Boss'.
Su Yang was not angry. He knew that Shangguan Qianji couldn't digest this information immediately. Hearing Shangguan Qianji's words, he smiled faintly and said, "Why would I lie to you? What benefit would it bring me?"
Shangguan Qianji on the other side said nothing more, just thinking in silence.
He wasn't feeling pity for Shangguan Zhongtang's impending tragic fate; he was excited. Finally, this day had arrived.
Shangguan Qianji finally understood why Su Yang was so confident, saying the outcome wouldn't change.
This outcome absolutely would not change.
"What?" Su Yang hadn't heard a sound from the other end for a long time and asked, "You're not feeling sympathetic towards your father, are you?"
After all, Shangguan Qianji was Shangguan Zhongtang's biological son. When Shangguan Zhongtang was truly facing death, Su Yang couldn't help but wonder if Shangguan Qianji might have some other thoughts.
Hearing Su Yang's words, Shangguan Qianji on the phone snorted coldly and said, "Boss Su, you think too little of the hatred in my heart.
For over twenty years, Shangguan Zhongtang hasn't treated me like a person, let alone his son. How could I possibly consider him my father?
I'm just happy that he has finally reached this point."
After hearing Shangguan Qianji's words, Su Yang was completely relieved.
He hadn't known Shangguan Qianji well before, but after having contact with him, Su Yang had gained a slight understanding of him.
Shangguan Qianji's mother was personally killed by Shangguan Zhongtang ten years ago, right in front of Shangguan Qianji.
This piece of information was not something ordinary people could obtain. Even Shangguan Qianji himself wouldn't have told Su Yang at this moment.
But Su Yang hadn't expected that Shangguan Qianji would voluntarily bring this matter up with him.
"Boss Su, do you know how my mother died?"
Su Yang was startled by Shangguan Qianji's words. Instinctively, Su Yang felt that he couldn't reveal that he already knew about Shangguan Qianji's mother.
Shangguan Qianji had never spoken of this matter before. This must have been a huge thorn in Shangguan Qianji's heart.
This thorn was lodged in Shangguan Qianji's heart, and unless he pulled it out himself, no one else could help him.
"How did she die?" Su Yang tried to make his tone sound more natural.
Su Yang still looked out at the underwater world outside the window, not thinking too much, just listening to Shangguan Qianji speak.
Shangguan Qianji was silent for a moment, then said, "Ten years ago, my mother and I were exposed and discovered by Shangguan Zhongtang's main wife.
The main wife made a scene with Shangguan Zhongtang, and Shangguan Zhongtang killed my mother, strangling her to death right in front of me.
Hearing Shangguan Qianji say this, Su Yang didn't know how to comfort him.
"At that time, I thought, why didn't he kill me too? Ten years ago, I was only a teenager. Su Yang, do you know what a huge blow that was to me?"
Su Yang certainly knew. Even if Su Yang couldn't empathize with Shangguan Qianji, he knew that Shangguan Qianji must have been tormented day and night by the scene of his mother's death over the years.
"Shangguan, please accept my condolences. The dead cannot be brought back to life. Your mother wouldn't want to see you suffer. Now Shangguan Zhongtang is finally facing retribution, and your revenge will be served."
After Su Yang finished speaking, there was a moment of silence on the phone.
"Thank you, Su Yang, really thank you. If possible, I still feel that we shouldn't be in a superior-subordinate relationship. I think you're a good person. If you think it's okay, we can be friends.
I, Shangguan Qianji, will be loyal to you for the rest of my life."
Hearing Shangguan Qianji's words, Su Yang said, "Okay."
"There's one more thing, Boss Su," Shangguan Qianji said.
"What is it? Speak, as long as it's something I can do for you, I will do my best to help you."
"My greatest wish for the past ten years has been to personally kill Shangguan Zhongtang. But from the looks of it now, I probably won't be able to fulfill this wish.
I hope that you, as my friend, will personally kill Shangguan Zhongtang."
As he spoke, Shangguan Qianji added, "I know that the people from the Dragon Association will take action, and Li Yue might personally go to Sang Country to apprehend Shangguan Zhongtang. But if there's any hope, I still hope you can personally kill Shangguan Zhongtang."
"Li Yue...?" Su Yang didn't know who the president of the Dragon Association was yet.
"Li Yue is the president of the Dragon Association, one of the three great thrones of Long Country, and the daughter of Li Feng."
"Oh, I see. I know about this situation. I will try my best to kill Shangguan Zhongtang myself, but I can't guarantee it 100%. After all, given his nature, it would be more appropriate for the upper echelons of Long Country to handle it."
"I understand that too, Boss Su. Just do your best. If it doesn't work out, it's fine. As long as Shangguan Zhongtang dies in the end, that's all that matters."
They spoke a few more words, and Su Yang hung up the phone.
Closing his phone and thinking for a moment, Su Yang asked, "How much time is left until Sang Country?"
Jiang Hei opened his laptop and checked. "About a day's journey."
Su Yang nodded, then waved his hand and said, "You're all tired. Go rest first. We'll make plans after meeting Sakata Chon."
"Have you already arranged it with Sakata Chon?" Sakata Cangyue entered with a plate of fruit, and as soon as she came in, she heard Su Yang's words.
Su Yang nodded. "I called him earlier and arranged it. You won't be going on the spy mission anymore. He's already given me the transaction records between Shangguan Zhongtang and him."
"Then what should I do next?"
Su Yang thought for a moment, then said, "From now on, you and your subordinates should stay on the Yangwei and don't go out. Although your strength is great, I'm worried you might get hurt during the fight.
There's nothing that requires your involvement for now. Just stay on the Yangwei and wait for my victorious return.
After things are settled here, I'll take you back to Long Country to reunite with your sister."
Hearing Su Yang's arrangements, Sakata Cangyue was actually quite moved.
Before, in the Assassination Hall, they were the ones who undertook all the missions, and no one ever considered that they might get hurt.
Looking at Su Yang with emotion, Sakata Cangyue nestled into his arms and asked, "Am I really useless?"
"Temporarily," Su Yang thought for a moment.
"Really?"
