Tang Xueluan's eyes widened in surprise:
"No, I don't know about this at all."
And she never thought that Xiaoyao would do something to Ma En, who was affiliated with the Federation, but in fact, after she calmed down and thought about it carefully, she found that this was actually very reasonable. Ma En was actually one of the very few Federation members that he could harm.
In this federation, the only one who really cares about his life and death may be themselves. They can't take action against Ma En only due to contractual reasons. If he dies, it will actually be a good thing for most federation members.
After all, Ma En is just an outsider.
Thinking of this, she even felt the terror of people with super-level abilities. In her impression, Ma En was almost an invincible strong man. In fact, Tang Xueluan originally thought that he would definitely take advantage of the opportunity to soar into the sky.
She never thought that he would come to her in such a mess. Even if he met a super ability user, would he be reduced to a situation where he could not control his life, death and destiny...
Tang Xueluan paused, then continued:
"I think the Federation may not know about this. If they knew, they would be bound by the contract. They don't have the ability to push you into the fire pit."
Ma En looked at her and said:
"But the fact is that the proposal they made put me in the current situation, and even if they don't know the specific details, they may have noticed something strange."
The reason why he said this was not that he really felt that the federation had plotted against him, but that he wanted to use this to gain an upper hand in the subsequent dialogue and negotiations between Tang Xueluan and the federation, and also to conceal the true situation.
Tang Xueluan also looked guilty. Even though she felt that the Federation might really know nothing, it was indeed their deal with Xiaoyao that caused Ma En to end up in this situation.
"I'm sorry." She said with a low expression, "I will find a way to get an explanation from the Federation for you, but I think they will be quite gloating after hearing the news.
"What exactly did Xiaoyao do to you? Is there anything we and the Federation can do to help you?"
This was also heavy bad news for her. At the moment, she was not only feeling sad about what happened to Ma En, but she was also happy and worried about the Shu family's views on this cooperation.
And her guilt was not pretended. Strictly speaking, this matter was considered a mistake in her decision-making. Although thanks to the conditions given by Xiaoyao, the Shu family itself did not suffer any losses, and it can be said that it made a lot of money.
But these short-term benefits are not what she values.
After seeing Tang Xueluan receive this information, Ma En's tone became gentler:
"Xiaoyao forced me to kill his other two companions, and also used magic to control me, but he didn't actually want to do anything to me. To be precise, it was an accident.
"Xiaoyao originally hoped that his disciples would kill me, but now he has failed, so he used his interests and power to coerce me into doing things for him. Is there any way you can help me solve this problem?"
Hearing this sentence, Tang Xueluan's guilty look became more obvious:
"I'm sorry, but I think those in the Federation will be happier when they hear this news. In their view, the deal with Xiaoyao has drained all the value out of you, and now you are nothing to them."
Ma En narrowed his eyes and asked:
"Are you saying that I can only work for Xiaoyao from now on?"
Tang Xueluan looked apologetically and said:
"I will help you think of another solution, but..."
She didn't look like she thought it was likely to work.
After all, in this cooperative relationship, she does not have particularly strong power, although the Shu family itself has a lot of energy in the federation, and they had already planned to cooperate with her.
But if they knew about this, they would definitely reconsider Man's value.
In fact, when I heard this
When she received the news, Tang Xueluan was shaken for a moment, but she still did not intend to abandon Ma En, who had contributed great value to them, but wanted to face this problem together with him.
Some of the reasons for doing this may be her deep yearning for Shenxiao, but the more important factor is that she still feels that cooperating with Ma En is a valuable and rewarding choice under this situation.
Her estimate of Marne's worth was higher than that of any politician in her family or the Federation.
And Ma En's next behavior proved her point of view.
"It's not necessary." Ma En sighed slightly, "This is not a good thing for me, but it is not all bad news. In fact, this can be considered good news for you Shu family.
"Because what Xiaoyao wants me to do is trade with the Federation."
Tang Xueluan showed a surprised look:
"You mean he gave you the job of dealing with the Federation."
Ma En's performance just now became a kind of test in her eyes. She was also glad that she didn't have any thoughts of abandoning Ma En just now, otherwise she would probably lose this opportunity.
You know, what they get from Xiaoyao now is just a drop in the bucket.
He also has endless value, and not only the life extension technology that can be used in the Fountain of Youth Project, but the knowledge and secrets he possesses have different uses for various departments of the Federation.
Xiaoyao is a treasure trove waiting to be mined for the Federation.
Ma En nodded:
"And he also gave me some tasks. Since you can't break free from his shackles for me, then I can only do things for him sincerely, but we are still partners, right?"
Faced with the question he did not explain clearly, Tang Xueluan immediately nodded heavily:
"Of course, we've always been in the same boat."
Ma En said:
"Now that we've given it up, I think maybe we can work together for Xiaoyao to work for the federation. To be honest, I'm not very happy about being controlled by him, but I have no other choice.
"All I can do is cooperate with your Shu family and extract as much profit as possible."
Tang Xueluan showed an expression of understanding and nodded towards him.
Although Ma En didn't say it out loud, he made it clear by saying that he would cooperate with the "Shu Family" instead of the Federation. He wanted to join forces with himself to extract benefits not only from Xiaoyao, but also from the Federation.
When Ma En encounters such a thing, it is impossible to truly surrender to Xiaoyao, but he will never work for the federation that is indifferent to his life and death. Therefore, the Shu family, who already had a cooperative relationship with him, took advantage.
This is also an excellent opportunity for the Shu family.
After all, they are members of the Shu family first, and then members of the Federation.
"I understand, if we can find an opportunity in the future." Tang Xueluan immediately promised, "We will definitely find a way to free you, after all, the Federation covets the secret of Xiaoyao.
"We still have a chance."
They can completely use the Federation to help Ma En escape Xiaoyao's control, as long as the Federation can get what they want in the process, but this cannot be known to the Federation itself for the time being.
This is the secret of the Ma En and Shu families.
Ma En nodded in agreement:
"This is also an opportunity for us together."
At the same time, he also sent a message to Xiaoyao using magic.
Everything is as planned.
