Di Xihuang continued to advance, his hands in his suit pants pockets, his eyes narrowing beneath long eyelashes.
“Distracting the enemy to make a surprise attack – not a bad strategy,” he said, his breath carrying a dangerous tone.
Ou Xueman was shocked. How could he know she sacrificed a piece to save the whole? She wanted to respond, but faced with his cold presence, she lost the courage to speak.
“Tong Yi Xuan, you’re quite cunning,” Di Xihuang said, trapping her by placing his hands on the wall on either side of her. A cold smile played on his lips.
“Continuing to execute our agreement on the surface while secretly negotiating with the SZ City Government to transfer the land owned by your Tong family’s subsidiary in the Futian District, and funding a public venue on that land to entice the SZ City Government — not a bad, clever strategy.”
Ou Xueman could barely breathe. Everything he said was her plan. He was terrifying. This was something she and Tong Yi Feng had done in secret, known by very few people. How could he possibly know?
“Want to know how I found out?” Di Xihuang’s cold smile grew even more chilling. “Don’t worry, I’ll tell you.”
He gripped her chin, his gaze boring into her. “You’ve sacrificed much to entice the SZ City Government, aiming for them to use governmental power to acquire the surrounding land. This allows you to terminate the contract and stall my investment plan, correct?”
Ou Xueman was shocked. He really knew everything, and with absolute precision.
Di Xihuang seemed to know her thoughts. “Why is it impossible? I must commend you, Tong Yixuan. You’ve done quite well. I don’t even know how to counter this move of yours.”
He whispered close to her ear, “But you lack a comprehensive understanding of the Tong family’s board of directors. For the Tong family to make such a sacrifice is like cutting off their own arm. Such a loss would never be approved, so your defeat was predetermined.”
“Surprised I know so many details?” Di Xihuang said, a thoughtful smile on his lips. “My computer has an email backup function. I’ve preserved all your emails.”
