Chapter 394

After they reached the second floor and glanced over, Xiao Ming saw that the floor contained exactly four rooms, and it was clear that four people and four rooms matched perfectly—no more, no less.

Seeing this, his mood gradually grew excited; if so, his plan seemed to face no major obstacles, and at the very least it proved that ordinary people could not satisfy all of this under the current situation.

The two peered carefully through the door gaps; he found that all four people were actually awake, and a thin ray of light was already seeping out from beneath each gap.

A worry began to grow in his heart; if so, what were they actually conspiring about in the rooms right now?

Were they each in separate rooms, or were all of them together in one room?

Xiao Ming followed the sound's direction; he discovered that the noise was coming from the innermost room.

But if that were true, it was likely that all four of them were now in the same room, since he heard different voices coming from inside.

After a quick look ahead and arriving at the second floor, they saw the corridor lights were on; although they had said they couldn't see everything from outside, the corridor walkway could still be lit by the lights here.

There was no need for the two to keep walking in darkness, but at this point everyone seemed to feel extremely tense.

Since any disturbance would likely reveal their identities outright, and if that happened, who knows what would become of everything.

There was simply no way to leave this place smoothly.

After seeing all this, he stopped speaking; the two then went straight to the top-floor room, where they crouched again in a dark corner.

Actually, their idea was still quite simple.

Moreover, this spot happened to be a crucial position; under normal circumstances, no one would come out here at this time.

Even if someone emerged during this process, they could only return to their own rooms and would certainly not linger here any longer.

After Xiao Ming realized all this, he moved forward two steps, stretched his body out, and could now basically hear clearly the conversation of the several people inside the room.

"How is it? Have you checked everything clearly now?"

"Don't worry, everything is already under our control; besides, have we not yet greeted the Group?"

"Don't worry, we've already greeted them."

"Good, then we'll truly celebrate all this tomorrow after the matter is finished."

"Wait, we haven't decided yet—who should we start with at this point?"

After he finished speaking, the two merely glanced at each other; they hadn't expected their guess to be right—it turned out this assault targeted not only Zong Long but also another person, whom they intended to take down in one sweep.

"I've already thought about this; if we must deal with it, we can simply follow the Organization's wishes."

"But doing that would be really too risky, wouldn't it?"

"I know it's indeed risky, but we really can't think of any better option; if I can pull this off, I'll have no choice but to proceed this way."

"I still feel that doing so would be somewhat improper; if it's not workable, we should think of another approach—do you think this is feasible?"

"No, we're at a point where we can't take any other route; the only thing we can do now is this: we must first carry out this smearing action, and then we'll figure out how to control Xiao Ming in our hands—because only then can we directly take those two away."

"No, the order given by the Group back then wasn't like that; they wanted us to eliminate Zong Long here, while Xiao Ming must be brought back, because he currently controls too many properties and brands; if we can make use of him, our subsequent affairs should go much more smoothly."

"It seems the Organization has never wanted to give up this market all these years; although he knows entering this market is truly extremely difficult, but if a gap can be opened and entry made smoothly, I believe many domestic resources could be fully exchanged here; worst case, we could later re-enter the domestic market under another identity, for only then would we avoid attracting their attention."

"Regarding this matter, I've already conveyed it to the Organization; they said they would give it careful consideration, but the precondition is that we must submit the request within these two and a half hours—Zong Long, right, how is the situation with Zong Long?"

"Don't worry, the rhythm and progress of everything are actually under our control; moreover, Zong Long is now clueless, truly believing they have successfully kicked me out, so he's sitting here while he goes out busy; however, Xiao Ming also joined in entering this trap afterward, and I believe that even if he now wants to retreat, it won't be as simple as he imagines."

"Heh, haven't we always said those two are formidable? Yet we never expected they'd both fall into our trap; looking at it now, our Organization's move is really overly clever."

"Exactly, it's indeed very clever; therefore I think our next task must be to firmly grasp this rhythm, and only then can we avoid being detected by them."
