Song Qiao’s face was expressionless as he looked at Alice like a criminal.
“Continue, what exactly happened?”
His voice was cold, devoid of any emotion.
Alice dared not delay. Some color returned to her face, and she slowly began to speak.
“That day, I accidentally—of course, it’s also possible that the Hanardo father and son weren’t wary of me—whatever the reason, I overheard a conversation between them.”
“A conversation that could change the entire world order!”
Song Qiao’s interest was piqued.
“So, what was it they were talking about?”
“It was about a previous battle, a battle against high-level forces. There was a command error by Snow Country’s elite troops, which led to the failure of the operation. We all thought it was just an ordinary battle failure, but unexpectedly, from the Hanardo father and son’s conversation, we learned that this battle failure was actually due to deliberate intentional underperformance on their part!”
“What?”
Shock was evident on Song Qiao’s face.
His first reaction was that such a thing was absolutely impossible!
But he quickly realized that this was Snow Country, not Huaguo.
Well, in Snow Country… such a preposterous operation, while absurd, didn't seem entirely impossible.
After all, the thought processes of Snow Country people were indeed… a bit different from normal people.
Assuming all of this was true.
Then this piece of news could truly be called a shocking scandal.
If this news were to break, provided there was sufficient evidence… No!
Even without evidence, it would shake the entire world!
The elite troops of Snow Country deliberately underperforming in battle?
This… this is truly unimaginable!
“To think such a thing could happen… it’s truly astonishing.”
“Who would have thought?”
A wry smile appeared on Alice’s face.
She continued.
“Actually, according to Hanardo’s plan, he hoped to use this opportunity to capture and eliminate all of Snow Country’s financial magnates!”
“That’s why he adopted a policy of appeasement towards the military brass for the time being.”
“Of course, all this was just a temporary facade. Once he dealt with the magnates, it would naturally be the turn of these military figures.”
“After the new Grand President took office, he didn’t rush to confront these magnates and escalate the conflict. Instead, he chose to bide his time, deliberately lulling them into a false sense of security, making them lower their guard.”
“In fact, the seeds planted this time would eventually erupt, provoking and triggering conflict among the magnates.”
“Using the magnates’ own strength to fight amongst themselves and exhaust each other, ultimately profiting from their demise.”
Alice’s words sent a chill down Song Qiao’s spine.
If this wasn't insidious and cunning, it was at least exceedingly wicked!
As expected of a politician, they really knew how to play dirty tricks!
“Then, if I’m not mistaken, the first among these magnates to be sacrificed should be the richest man in Lunitaque’s father, Lofus. Did I guess correctly?”
Alice remained silent, merely nodding slowly.
Song Qiao suddenly understood!
So that was it!
So, the real reason was actually this!
With this understanding, everything fell into place.
All the questions and doubts were naturally resolved.
To be honest, this news was extremely important.
With proper handling, it could lead to unimaginable benefits!
However, at the same time, the risks involved were also beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
In a word, high risk, high reward.
It all depended on whether someone dared to take this gamble.
“Actually, I stumbled upon these documents unintentionally.”
“And then they became aware of it, which is why I quickly fled when they weren't paying attention.”
Song Qiao, however, showed no reaction.
He was still trying to digest the shock brought by this information.
And figuring out how to leverage the potential room for action that this information might present.
Although the opportunity seemed slim, with skillful handling, it wasn't impossible!
Seeing Song Qiao's delayed reaction, Alice gritted her teeth, stood up, and with seductive eyes, slithered into Song Qiao’s arms like a snake.
Her pair of shapely legs straddled him directly.
Song Qiao snapped back to reality, looking at the beauty in his arms, and a smile bloomed on his face.
He reached out, his hands roaming and caressing Alice’s body.
“Don’t worry, since you’ve told me something so important, I certainly won’t go back on my word. I will protect you well.”
“Really? Song. I have nothing left now. The only one I can rely on is you, Song.”
Alice gazed at Song Qiao affectionately.
“You absolutely must not lie to me…”
Her enchanting voice continued to linger in Song Qiao’s ears.
Alice even gently blew warm air onto his earlobe.
The sound evoked decidedly adult fantasies.
“Of course, my dear Alice. I always keep my word.”
Song Qiao’s hands began to grow increasingly unrestrained.
