The Elite Assassin Becomes a Flat and Ugly Nerd!

179 Fair Competition
Facing Shan Yue, Zhou Xuan put away his usual seriousness and coldness. “Why are you here and sitting in Mu Wei’s seat?”

Shan Yue leaned sideways in her seat. The corners of her lips curled up slightly, and her eyes were filled with mystery. No one could see through her thoughts.

“Why am I here? It’s simple. If I don’t come today, you won’t be able to take down this Las Vegas project.”

A hint of disdain flashed across Zhou Xuan’s eyes. It was obvious that he did not take Shan Yue’s words seriously. He curled his lips. Could Shan Yue, a girl who had just reached adulthood, take what the Zhou family could not? Anyone who heard this would think it was a huge joke.

He tidied his clothes and tilted his head slightly. He draped one leg over the other and looked at Shan Yue. “You help me? What can you help me with? With your superb medical skills? That won’t work well in the business competition.”

Shan Yue’s eyebrows were relaxed. She put on a relaxed posture and casually fiddled with the bow on her gown. “No matter what price you offer today, the Tang family will suppress you with the matter of Dong Yan. No matter what, the probability of the delegation choosing the Tang family is much higher than yours. You should know that very well.”

“Oh? So that’s what you’re talking about.” Zhou Xuan’s tone was very casual. “I don’t care about that kind of trick at all. Cooperation depends on sufficient sincerity.”

“No, you’re wrong.” Shan Yue looked sideways and a smile appeared on her lips. “Sincerity is important, but the delegation has to consider the pressure of public opinion. No one will choose a person suspected of hiring someone to kill.”

Shan Yue deliberately leaned closer. “Do you think I’m right, President Zhou?”

Zhou Xuan’s answer was very casual. He only said “Mm” before covering his lips.

Seeing this, Shan Yue understood what he meant. She interlocked her fingers and placed them in front of her legs. “Since President Zhou doesn’t believe me, let’s wait and see later.”

Suddenly, everyone’s gaze was attracted by the commotion behind them. Dong Peng’s arrival made many people feel incredulous. After all, Dong Peng had already announced that he would withdraw from the competition for this project.

Someone immediately whispered, “Why is President Dong here too? Shouldn’t he be accompanying his child in the hospital at this time?”

“I don’t know.” The others shook their heads and echoed, “It’s fine for him to join the competition now. I’m just afraid that if he joins forces with the Zhou family or the Tang family, he will definitely win this project.”

“We’ll see where he sits later.”

For a moment, everyone had different opinions. More than ten pairs of eyes were focused on Dong Peng. He roughly scanned the venue and locked onto a figure. He ignored the gossip beside him and walked straight towards her. “Miss Shan, is there anyone beside you?”

Seeing this, Shan Yue’s eyes curved into crescents that shone. “No, Uncle Dong, sit.”

After everyone sat down one after another, Dong Peng quietly told Shan Yue about Dong Yan’s situation and his purpose for coming this time.

After Shan Yue learned that Dong Yan had woken up and was fine, she could not help but feel much more relieved. However, she heard Dong Peng sigh. “Although Yan’er is already awake, the killer who hurt him hasn’t been found yet. It’s always worrying.”

“Don’t worry, Uncle.” A cold glint flashed across Shan Yue’s eyes again. She looked at the Tang Corporation on the other side of the hall. “I’ll make the person behind the assassination of Dong Yan pay the corresponding price today.”

“So… Miss Shan knows who the murderer who hurt Yan’er is?”

“I just found some evidence.” As Shan Yue spoke, she handed the recording pen that she had prepared to Dong Peng and smiled. “Uncle Dong, you’ll know when you hear this.”

Dong Peng took it excitedly, but before he could turn it on, the lights in the venue suddenly went out, leaving only the colorful lights on both sides of the hall and the lights on the road. The dark atmosphere of the venue instantly became intriguing.

Shan Yue and Dong Peng were very close. Although the light around them was very dim, she could still accurately capture the change in emotions on his face, so she handed over the earpiece in time. “Uncle Dong, use this.”
