Hu Li’s words silenced Dan De. In the end, he said in a rather weak voice, “The president of Camino’s term is about to end soon, and the Nangong family is also overwhelmed. If we kill Nangong Nuannuan, the person sitting at the top of the pyramid in Imperial Phoenix Group will be gone, and the various countries will definitely try to divide the assets under their name. Why would they care about us?”
Hu Li scoffed coldly. “Do you think Feng Shengxuan is dead? The reason Imperial Phoenix becomes what it is today is all thanks to him!”
“Yet, Nangong Nuannuan is the de facto chairman of Imperial Phoenix Group! She managed to make Feng Shengxuan willingly be the vice president; she made Imperial Phoenix Group a dominating existence in various countries. That is enough to show that Nangong Nuannuan is the core member of their conglomerate. As long as Nangong Nuannuan’s dead, Imperial Phoenix will definitely fall into internal strife. When that happens, who’ll have the time to care about Phoenix Pavilion, an insignificant branch under Imperial Phoenix?”
“Utter fool!” Hu Li had no intention of talking to Dan De anymore. He looked at Wei Du and said, “Mr. President, although Nangong Nuannuan is young, you mustn’t underestimate her at all. You mustn’t do anything to hurt her. Otherwise, you’d be going for wool and come home shorn.”
Sitting above them, Wei Du observed the arguments without saying a word.
That was because his heart was wavering along with the people’s words too.
Naboo possessed the most jade mines and gem mines. Five years ago, Imperial Phoenix Group bought up dozens of super large mines and riverbeds in Naboo and excavated a large amount of rare jade, diamonds, and gemstones. It was then that Naboo regretted selling those mines. Naboo finally started to manage its mineral resources and no longer sold them to outsiders. Even so, the number of gemstones sold by Naboo in the past few years just could not compare to the amount mined by Phoenix Pavilion.
He did so much to kick Pang Long down. At this critical juncture, Wei Du needed the support of more people, which meant that he needed a lot of money. Taking all of that from Imperial Phoenix was the most effective method.
However, he also knew that Imperial Phoenix would never give him what he wanted easily. Hence, he thought he wanted to end the bigshot controlling Imperial Phoenix during this banquet.
Even so, he hesitated when he found out that the boss of Imperial Phoenix was the young miss of the Nangong family.
Now, Nangong Nangong had already brought Selina and Dan Qi to Naboo. She would be able to meet him in two hours. However, he had yet to come to a decision…
At this moment, someone knocked on the door and came in. Then, he whispered something into the president’s ears.
President Wei Du stood up and said to his board of cabinet ministers, “Continue your discussion. I’m meeting someone outside and will return with an answer.”
Wei Du followed the guard and entered a reception room.
Inside the guest room, a middle-aged man in a suit was sitting with a smile on his face. The two people beside him were sweeping the room with some sort of detector.
Wei Du’s expression darkened. “Mr. Shi, the conference room we arranged for you is a private one. There won’t be any recordings or videos from inside here.”
Noticing Wei Du’s displeasure, the man did not apologize for his rude behavior. Instead, he waited for the two assistants beside him to finish sweeping the room before saying, “President Wei Du, you might not know this, but a few super hackers appeared in Camino recently.. They can use satellites to intercept the image of the person directly and then, locate their target’s cellphone through the image.”
