Hello, do you need something?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello, George.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simon then looked at George, who plainly pointed at Jiang Cheng and said, \"She is looking for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simon, already accustomed to George’s behavior, looked at Jiang Cheng without bothering about it and asked, \"Miss Jiang, do you need me for something?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, could we find a private place to talk?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng’s directness was much appreciated by Simon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With George seeming to trust Jiang Cheng, he immediately agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three left together, heading to a private corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, the three sat down, and George went back to spacing out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng got straight to the point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Simon, have you reached any agreement with the R side?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relaxed, Simon’s gaze suddenly turned sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jiang, this has nothing to do with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng fearlessly met Simon’s gaze, saying, \"Mr. Simon, I’ll say this only once. Whether you believe it or not is up to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng didn’t give Simon a chance to refuse, directly stating her conjecture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Regardless of what agreement you’ve signed with country R, I feel that they’ll cheat you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Firstly, I didn’t follow you; I just pieced together some fragmentary information and deduced it myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon saying this, Jiang Cheng looked at George.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Simon, Mr. George came to Hua Xia with your help, but to my knowledge, all the pharmaceutical capital in country M is blocking George. Yet you took such a big risk to help George.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Undoubtedly, you’ve offended country M’s capital.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you think they’ll spare you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng’s question made Simon’s gaze withdraw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The answer is singular, no, they won’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Simon didn’t interrupt, Jiang Cheng continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"R side obstructed Mr. George all the way, using low-level methods, but because it’s so low-level, I speculate that someone on the M side who understands Mr. George told the R side about this method.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Meaning, Chi Lang from country R and the M-side are in cahoots.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Today, Matsuboto, who met Chi Lang, asked me to translate, but it turned into a drinking match. They found a loophole and breached the agreement...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng narrated bit by bit, finally concluding, \"Therefore, I speculate that if the M side can manipulate Chi Lang’s group, they can manipulate Matsuboto’s group too.
