Chapter 41 The Whole Case Hinges On This

  Zhang Sen took a deep breath: "Boss, the more you say, the more shocked I am. What's going on in G City these two years? Is it an unlucky year? How did we provoke such an organization? Wait, I have another idea... Let me think for a moment..."

  Lü Jiangnan did not disturb Zhang Sen either and fell into deep thought as well.

  After a long time, both of them almost spoke at the same time: "Could it be..." "There's another possibility..."

  They exchanged a smile, and Lü Jiangnan made a "please" gesture: "You first, maybe we're thinking of the same thing."

  Zhang Sen did not decline, and directly opened his mouth: "I was thinking that if there really is a third force as you said, then this third force, would it be a member of the 'Dark Night Gate' itself?"

  "And he's someone who knows a lot about the 'Dark Night Gate' and is very familiar with this time, Ling Ziwu sisters approaching you!" Before Zhang Sen could finish speaking, Lü Jiangnan hastily interrupted.

  "While Lingziwei sisters' actions were planned by the one who controls the Yangtze River, this person, if not the Yangtze River itself, must have a close relationship with it! In other words, this person is well-versed in everything about the Yangtze River, including the plan he may have made for this action, his thinking mode and direction, and even the connections he has, all are crystal clear!" Zhang Sen continued from Lü Jiangnan's words.

  "It seems that this person should be a friend of Chang Jiang, and a very close one at that; but it's also possible that this person is an enemy of Chang Jiang! As the saying goes, the people who understand you best are not your friends, but your enemies!" Lu Jiangnan said thoughtfully.

  "If it's an enemy, then this enemy is hiding very deeply! At least, Zhang Jiang didn't feel any hostility from him. Otherwise, since I released the news that 'Dark Night' had logged in to G City, judging from Zhang Jiang's series of activities in G City, this person is also someone with a very meticulous mind; he was able to successfully complete all his business deals without once being exposed, and his methods were never the same; he has his own channels for taking on business, and he didn't reveal his identity." Zhang Sen continued from where Lü Jiangnan left off.

  Of course, it is also possible that all of Yangtze's actions were ordered by Dark Night, and he was not the decision-maker, but just an executor! He executed the actions planned by Dark Night. Then his identity in the "Dark Night Gate" is questionable: Dark Night just utilized his loyalty, made all the action plans himself, and carried them out through Yangtze, while those so-called channels were also Dark Night's channels, having nothing to do with Yangtze. Moreover, what Ouyang Feifei said about Yangtze never having seen Dark Night is also questionable. In this "Dark Night Gate", there was someone whom Dark Night trusted, and that person was Yangtze! Lü Jiangnan continued to analyze.

  "If that's the case, then this third force has ruled out the possibility of being Chang Jiang. So, this person who knows Chang Jiang very well is the key to the whole case. But is he really Chang Jiang's enemy? Or does he also know a lot about 'Dark Night Gate', and his goal is 'Dark Night Gate' or Dark Night, rather than Chang Jiang? In that case, the question goes back to what you just said, the second possibility: his purpose is to replace 'Dark Night Gate'! Zhang Sen looked up at Lü Jiangnan."

  Lü Jiangnan rubbed his temples: "I don't know, I just feel that the loophole of Lingziwei sisters is too big. If 'Dark Night Gate' is really all-pervasive, if they can infiltrate your G City Public Security Bureau to grasp your actions, if Dark Night's mind is so meticulous, then there is no reason for this loophole to exist. So I suspect that this loophole, Dark Night or 'Dark Night Gate' doesn't know at all!"

  "But if that's really the case, then this 'Dark Night' is too terrifying. He already has a considerable amount of power in our city B; and that third force is even more terrifying: after 'Dark Night' altered Ling Ziyu's sister's information in city B, he can still change it back, which means he is an existence even more terrifying than 'Dark Night'!"

  "However, considering the connections that 'An Ye Men' has in G City, it's easy to get information about a small and unknown Ling Ziwei from B City, it's not even necessary to go to B City to develop, it can be done with ease."

  After listening to Lü Jiangnan's words, Zhang Sen was also speechless. For a moment, the two fell into silence again.

  Suddenly, Zhang Sen's eyes lit up and he said to Lü Jiangnan: "Speaking of the third force, it seems that another black hand has appeared in G City's business circle recently. However, its methods are quite different from those of 'Dark Night Gate'. Ma Pei, you know about this, I should have told you before."

  "Ah," upon hearing the two words "Black Hand", Lü Jiangnan's eyes lit up like a hunter sensing prey, "A high school classmate of Old White's who shared the same dorm in college, met at Old White's wedding, and afterwards became close friends. The general manager of 'Huáyú Tiānxià', what happened to him?"

  "He recently encountered an incident related to Jiangshi Real Estate Group Co., Ltd., the largest competitor currently participating in the 'Tangwan Square' bidding."

  Then, Zhang Sen told Lü Jiangnan everything Ma Pei had said to him, and finally said: "In addition, after Old Man Jiang found out about General Manager Jiang's affairs, he became suspicious of his son's identity, so he went for a DNA test. The result proved that the 13-year-old boy was not General Manager Jiang's son. Enraged, the old man raised his cane again, and under duress, General Manager Jiang confessed everything.

  It turned out that Mrs. Jiang had a lover before she got married, and the union between the two was entirely a product of a business marriage arrangement. On the day they agreed to get married, they reached an agreement: Jiang would not interfere with Mrs. Jiang's interactions with her boyfriend, and Mrs. Jiang would not interfere with Jiang's private life. They would only go through the motions of being husband and wife, but not actually be one in reality. No matter who Mrs. Jiang had a child with, the child must take the surname Jiang, and she was never allowed to reveal the child's true identity!

  "After hearing Jiang Huai's words, Old Man Jiang was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot and was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment. No one expected that Jiang Huai's son had skipped school to fight with someone that day and returned home just as Jiang Huai revealed the truth about his birth. At around 9 pm that evening, he left a letter behind and ran away from home."
