Just after leaving the institute and arriving at the parking place, Su An received a call from Wang Zhe. He motioned to Li Anxin to drive and moved to the passenger seat.
"Su An, what happened tonight? Why didn't you come to the negotiation site?" Wang Zhe's mood was filled with anger, but his tone was calm, and he obviously tried his best to restrain himself.
Of course Su An knew why the other party was angry.
He let go of the opponent's dove.
Wang Zhe and Liu Xiong's people must have met for a long time, but they didn't wait for Su An to arrive. Liu Xiong's people should have walked away by now.
The reason why things happened like this was because Su An did not tell Wang Zhe about his attack on the research institute with the Demon Subduing Division. In the last phone call, he asked Wang Zhe to mediate and invite people from the Zhengyang Sect to come out to negotiate.
Of course there are reasons for not informing.
The reason is simple: Su An doesn't trust Wang Zhe.
To be precise, there is not that much trust yet.
Before taking action, Su An thought carefully. If he told Wang Zhe the truth, Wang Zhe might be in cahoots with the people behind the Zhengyang Sect.
Colluding with the demon clan is a big deal. The relevant evidence has not been put in front of Wang Zhe. Even if Zhang Zhenlin endorses it, it is unclear whether the other party will believe it or not.
On the one hand, the Zhengyang Sect is a century-old sect, and on the other hand, Su An and Zhang Zhenlin have a close relationship. It is not impossible for Wang Zhe to think that Su An and Zhang Zhenlin colluded to frame the Zhengyang Sect.
It is not uncommon for various forces in Jizhou City to fight for power and gain in the name of demons and troubles.
In addition, even if Wang Zhe believes it, he may not stand on Su An's side.
Su An was worried that Wang Zhe would sell relevant information to the big shot in the provincial council in order to get closer and strengthen the alliance.
This is not aimless.
There was an obvious doubt in Su An's mind: Could that big shot in the Provincial Council have known for a long time that Zhengyang Sect had dealings with the Monster Clan? Could it be that the Zhengyang Sect's collusion with the demon clan was just the instruction of that big shot?
When Yelu Hongguang was dealing with Huang Yuewen, he hinted that there were more than one or two dignitaries in Jizhou City who had interests in the demon clan.
Su An has no sense of trust in these big figures in Jizhou City.
Even Wang Zhe himself and Su An didn't believe that. The other party fought against the Kuroshio in Guandu City, but this does not mean that he will not collude with the demon clan.
Wang Zhe is a profit-oriented person, otherwise he would not have engaged Su An in doing business, but secretly trading and exchanging goods with the demon clan would bring huge profits.
Putting aside these things, when Anxia Zong and Zhengyang Zong have already had a big conflict, if Wang Zhe judges that it is difficult for the two parties to shake hands and make peace, then in order to continue to promote the business process and not fall out with the big shots in the provincial council, he It is very possible to abandon the Anxia Sect and support other forces.
There is no need to say what is more important between Anxia Zong and the Provincial Council.
The Zhengyang Sect is a behemoth and involves too many interests. Even if the provincial council member and Wang Zhe have nothing to do with the demon clan, in order to prevent their own interests from being damaged, Su An's action tonight may not be successful.
They would rather solve the problem of Zhengyang Sect slowly in the future.
In short, we cannot let Zhengyang Sect be destroyed by the Demon Subduing Division because of its relationship with the demon clan.
"The Zhengyang Sect colluded with the Demon Clan. I just cooperated with the Demon Subduing Division to raid one of their strongholds. The evidence is conclusive."
Su An looked calm, "Wang Zhe, why did you get such a person to participate in our business? Do you know what this means to us?"
"What?" Wang Zhe asked, his voice faltered and his voice changed.
Su An continued in a serious tone: "The Zhengyang Sect has multiple secret bases built in conjunction with the demon clan in Jizhou City. They deceive and kidnap ordinary citizens and cultivate taboo supernatural combat power. We just destroyed one of the strongholds. There are hundreds of demon-like beings inside.
"How much trouble will it cause in the future if we cooperate with such a person?"
Wang Zhe sounded confused: "Such a thing actually happened?"
Su An's tone turned cold: "You are a smart person, you should be able to think that Zhengyang Sect cooperates with us and enters the Dongping District Supermarket Fresh Market, and must have ulterior motives from the beginning.
"If the business is completed, with the strength of the Zhengyang Sect and the taboo combat power they have secretly cultivated, how much damage will be caused once there is a fuss.
"At that time, our Anxia Alliance will certainly bear the brunt, but you will definitely not be able to escape the involvement. Even the chief envoy may not be able to save you, right?"
Wang Zhe's voice had an uncontrollable tremble, and he couldn't recover from the huge shock and cruel blow for a while:
"They, they actually dare to collude with the demon clan? Really, they really don't know how to live or die...
"A five-star sect is secretly doing this with the demon clan. What are they planning?"
Su An continued to put pressure on Wang Zhe: "I believe you don't know anything. The question now is, does the person on the provincial council understand the foundation of Zhengyang Sect?"
Wang Zhe: "This, this should be because I don't know..."
Su An said coldly: "In such a big issue, the word 'should' should not appear. Wang Zhe, if I hadn't had a relationship with the Demon Subduing Division, learned the news in time, and cooperated with the other party to take action, if it was true When the day comes when the deal is concluded, the consequences will be disastrous.”
Wang Zhe finally reacted: "Yes, fortunately you are here, otherwise this matter would be serious!
"Su An, you did the right thing, you did a great job! Where are you now? I want to interview you. Forget it, I will go directly to your base. You wait for me, be sure to wait for me!"
Su An hung up the phone with satisfaction, a faint smile creeping onto her lips.
He was in trouble with Wang Zhe today, no matter what. From the perspective of a friend and a partner, he should have vented his anger with Wang Zhe in advance. It was very unkind to keep the other party in the dark.
But he took the initiative during the call and took advantage of the urgency of the situation to suppress Wang Zhe's momentum. Not only did the other party no longer care about his fault, but he also thanked him greatly in turn.
Last time when Wang Zhe entertained him at "Chunqiu Villa", he gave him a set of combo punches, with the purpose of suppressing his momentum and subduing him. This time, Su An could barely fight back in the other way. Give to him.
Whether it's cooperation or being a friend, Su An doesn't want to be constantly suppressed by anyone and can only be the other person's little brother. What he wants is to take the initiative and be the one who walks the talk.
This is not Su An's temporary ambition, but when people get along with each other, it is difficult to establish an absolutely equal relationship, including between husband and wife and brothers. There are always some who are strong and others who are weak.
The difference is only in the degree of strength.
"Does Wang Zhe really have nothing to do with the demon clan? Does he really not mind what you did tonight? Will he abandon the Zhengyang Sect and the Provincial Council and firmly choose us?"
Li Anxin expressed her thoughts while driving.
Su An smiled nonchalantly: "These questions are actually one question, which is what kind of person Wang Zhe is.
"If he is the right person, then we will go hand in hand; if he is not the right person, then we are destined not to be together.
"It's not our loss that we can't get together. If one business is gone, there will still be another business. If one partner is gone, we will find another partner.
"Although the road of life is long, in the final analysis it is just about running a career that suits you and making friends that suit you. Who needs to be in the same boat?
"I don't have the energy to waste my energy fighting with anyone."
...
When Wang Zhe came to the Anxia Sect base, he only brought two guards with him. Almost as soon as Su An arrived, he entered the base gate with his back foot.
"I really didn't expect that a five-star sect with a century-old history and a reputation in the government would actually collude with the demon clan, and the collusion would be so big!"
As soon as Wang Zhe entered the door of the reception room, he complained to Su An with a face full of annoyance, "I never expected that a powerful figure in the Provincial Council would protect such a sect!"
Su An handed him a bottle of drink, and did not disrupt the rhythm of his conversation because of the other person's excitement. He sat down in an orderly manner, "Have you called the person at the provincial council?"
Wang Zhe sighed repeatedly: "The other party also felt unbelievable, no, he didn't believe it at all!
"Even if I told him that the Demon Subduing Division had the evidence, he still firmly believed that something went wrong and swore to me that at least Liu Xiong is absolutely reliable!"
Su An took out a cigarette and threw it to him, then lit it leisurely: "In my opinion, these are no longer important, what do you think?"
Wang Zhe still had a gloomy look on his face, and said with pain and anxiety: "Why is it not important? Is our business not going to be done? As long as things can be turned around, we should try our best to turn things around."
Su An leaned back on the chair, crossed her legs, and puffed out slowly: "I think we should change our thinking and stop the loss in time. If you don't think so, I can only say I'm sorry."
Wang Zhe stopped talking and looked at Su An intently.
After a while, he suddenly laughed loudly.
After laughing, he picked up the ordinary cigarette on the table and put it into his mouth. He leaned over and took Su An's lighter and lit it for himself. He pointed at Su An, who still looked calm, and said with a dumb smile:
"Su An, Su An, you are really no ordinary person. The more I know you, the more I appreciate you. You are someone who can do great things."
From the moment he walked in, Wang Zhe was testing Su An.
With such a big incident happening and the situation becoming so complicated, he had to further test Su An's quality and then decide on the next path.
To put it simply, it’s just a matter of watching the dishes.
Various expressions such as annoyance, regret, anxiety, and physical pain were all deliberately displayed by Wang Zhe, hoping to see if the other party would be affected by his emotional state.
In fact, he had long since regained his composure, and had made preliminary calculations before entering the Anxia Sect's gate.
What Wang Zhe wants to test is very simple. In a more advanced way, it is whether the mind is tough or not, and in a simple way, it is whether the emotions are stable enough.
The answer sheet Su An handed over could only be described as a perfect score.
When he came in, the other party handed him a can of ordinary drinks. After he sat down, the other party handed him an ordinary cigarette. When he was hesitant and irritable, Su An leaned back on the chair leisurely, and his words and demeanor were consistent from beginning to end. The rhythm is steady.
There is neither embarrassment, inferiority, nor arrogance.
This is very rare.
Last time when Wang Zhe received Su An on his own territory, he ate, drank, listened and looked at rare high-end products. Now it was his first time to come to Anxia Sect, and Su An entertained her with ordinary things. , but did not feel ashamed.
He had mistakenly believed in the Zhengyang Sect before, and he had behaved so badly just now. However, Su An, who saved him and saved their business, was not at all arrogant or arrogant.
Whenever big things happen, you should be calm and not arrogant in victory or discouraged in defeat. This is emotional stability.
In Wang Zhe's view, only with this kind of mind can we overcome many challenges and accomplish great things.
Su An like this is Wang Zhe's ideal partner, which cannot be measured by status and wealth in a moment. He is very willing to strengthen his relationship and go hand in hand with such a friend.
"So you have an idea?" Su An flicked the cigarette ashes and looked more serious.
Wang Zhe said what he just said, which was an open and honest admission of his temptation. This magnanimity suited Su An's appetite.
"As you said, change your thinking and stop losses in time!"
Wang Zhe said loudly, "The plan to enter the supermarket fresh market in Dongping District continues to advance, but there is no longer Zhengyang Sect. You, me, and the Zhang family, the three of us are enough to eat this market!
"Although I really want to become a partner with the man from the provincial council, I can't do it without him. The opportunity is fleeting, and I can't wait for him, at least not for this business.
"As for the Zhengyang Sect, no matter whether the person in the provincial council can save Liu Xiong in the end, or what the final conclusion of this crisis is, I will never touch them again.
"There are many benefits in the world, but getting involved with the demon clan means that once the incident comes to light, everything will stop. I may take advantage of legal loopholes, but I will never be so greedy that I become stupid and go against the simplest and clearest legal provisions!"
There was a smile on Su An's face, and her inner evaluation of Wang Zhe became even higher: "This is very good."
