Movie Variety Show: Starting from a New World

Chapter 1245 Change of Investigation Direction

"Miss, are you sure you didn't sense any murderous intent at the time?" After returning to Wei Hong's room and learning about the situation at the scene, Sovokov asked with a serious expression.

“I really didn’t sense any killing intent at all! I can still tell that, after all, this feeling saved me more than once on the battlefield in the southern border region!” Wei Hong said with a similarly serious expression.

“Then there’s really only one possibility: the killer’s target wasn’t you at all!” Sovokov said.

"Oh? How are you sure?" Wei Hong asked curiously.

“Miss, given the circumstances and your purpose in coming to Seoul, there was absolutely no reason for you to be shot! To put it bluntly, even if the South Korean authorities knew you were in Seoul, they would only try their best to protect your safety and even hope that you would complete your business negotiations as soon as possible and return to the mainland immediately! After all, if something bad happened while you were in Seoul, do you think the boss would turn Seoul into a battlefield in order to find the culprit?” Sovokov said to Wei Hong.

This wasn't just Sovokov's opinion; the South Korean authorities thought the same. Ever since Zhao Cheng took the position of deputy commander-in-chief, and John Bull secretly publicized that Tianqiao Society was a gang that Zhao Cheng had supported and controlled, no one dared to underestimate the man nicknamed "Clean Street Tiger."

Even though Western countries look down on China no matter what, Zhao Cheng is an exception, because if China, as a country, sends troops abroad, it is considered an invasion and cannot be easily stopped.

But Dong Mingzhu's Tianqiao event is the same; after all, those are over 100,000 light infantrymen who, with a little equipment, could be the world's strongest! If they were deployed to any country, that country would immediately become a battlefield!

Even established powers like the U.S. and the United States, knowing about this, couldn't bear such losses, let alone a small country like South Korea. Of course, the Japanese are an exception, since they're a bunch of lunatics.

So Sovokov is now quite certain that South Korea's National Intelligence Service must be in a state of panic, after all, Wei Hong is like a time bomb that could explode at any moment.

Even though the Zhao family's cunning is not well-known among ordinary people, to the high-ranking officials of various countries, this is a family more terrifying than the mainland. The family members are powerful fighters and they also control an armed force that operates independently of the rules. When there is no trouble, they are just an ordinary gang, a quiet and well-behaved child. But if this bomb is detonated, they can easily tear this kid apart. Even a major country can take a bite out of them!

"So you think this assassin was targeting the other people at the time?" Wei Hong asked.

“That’s right, but there were quite a few people at the scene, so we had no way of finding out who the killer was targeting or why he would shoot an ordinary member of the Tianqiao Society in a short time.” Sovokov scratched his head.

"How can I cooperate with you?" Wei Hong actually agreed with Sovokov's deduction, because she thought so herself. So she asked directly.

"How are things going on your end?" Sovokov asked.

“We’ve already contacted the Dayu Group today. Their board of directors voted to sell the shipping company. Now all that’s left is to negotiate the price. Once we reach an agreement on the price, it should be done!” Wei Hong said.

"So, are you still going to negotiate tomorrow?" Sovokov asked.

“Of course, Daisy is still a bit inexperienced when it comes to such large-scale negotiations and can’t handle the situation, so I have to go with her!” Wei Hong said.

“What I mean is that you should bring more bodyguards from the Tianqiao Society when you travel in the future! Actually, there’s a reason why powerful people in South Korea travel with a lot of security personnel. It’s indeed much more dangerous here than in the mainland. The security conditions here are even worse than in Mingzhu. After all, their legal system is really hard to describe!” Sovokov said, shrugging.

"So what are your plans?" Wei Hong asked Sovokov.

“Young Miss, my plan is to start the investigation with the people in the Golden Gate Group. After all, the Golden Gate Group is larger and has offended more people. I strongly suspect that the assassin’s target is likely someone in the Golden Gate Group!” Sovokov said.

“Alright, then you can investigate slowly. I have people from the Tianqiao Society following me when I go out, so there won’t be any problems! Besides, Situ Haonan is also investigating this matter these days. If he has any definite news, I will call you to let you know!” Wei Hong said after thinking for a moment.

“Okay, then I’ll be going now. But for your safety, I think we should send a team of Dark Blades to protect you?” Sovokov suddenly asked.

"Dark Blade? Forget it, let them cooperate with your operation! After all, my situation isn't that serious!" Wei Hong shook her head and refused when she heard that Sovokov wanted to call in Dark Blade.

It wasn't that Wei Hong was arrogant; it was simply because she was, after all, on South Korean soil. If she were to use Dark Blades for protection, it would be too conspicuous. After all, Dark Blades were a group of battlefield killers, and their aura was impossible to conceal. There was no need for Wei Hong to call in Dark Blades for her negotiations.

“Alright then, but if you really encounter any trouble, Miss, you can call Fox directly. He's in Seoul with two squads of Dark Blades!” Sovokov said.

"Okay, I understand!" Wei Hong said helplessly, rubbing her temples.

"Big sister, who is this Russian guy?" After Sovokov left, Daisy finally asked the question that had been on her mind.

“I thought you weren’t going to ask!” Wei Hong said to Daisy with a smile.

"Oh, sister, I'm just curious! Could it be that this Russian was also trained by my father-in-law?" Daisy asked with a puzzled look.

“I can’t tell you too much, after all, these are all confidential! But I can tell you that whether it’s the Skybridge Society or Sovokov, they are all family safeguards arranged in advance by the old man, and also the family’s last trump card! Just know that there is such a thing, and don’t ask about it!” Wei Hong said with a smile, patting Daisy’s head.

“Alright, then I won’t ask anymore! But I’m really curious, shouldn’t powers like this be controlled by the men of the family? Why do they all seem to listen to you?” Daisy asked.

"Haha, it's really nothing. Do you think any of the young masters in our family are suitable to wield such power? Don't forget, most of them are soldiers or officers. Their status is not suitable, so of course I have to be in charge of training them!" Wei Hong said.
