Li Yan mentioned that currently there are six factions very interested in this batch of antiques, then leisurely smoked, waiting to see Sonia’s reaction.

Perhaps Sonia and her team originally really didn’t need him to do anything; as long as he didn’t get involved against them, they could avoid a lot of trouble. But this is just in the plan, and the plan never had six factions mixed in. If there were indeed that many people to deal with, King couldn’t just do nothing.

"Six factions? Not two?" Sonia blurted out, Li Yan’s words had already greatly shocked her, causing her to inadvertently reveal some information they held.

"Two factions? What two factions?" Li Yan feigned ignorance as he looked at her.

Sonia knew that she had already spoken, so there was no need to hide it anymore. After thinking for a moment, within the scope she could continue to speak about, she briefly explained: "Here’s the situation, apart from us, our people discovered that it seems there’s another group eyeing these antiques. But we also can’t figure out who they are, they seem to be more professional and better prepared than us. For us, this isn’t already a good thing. While one side is like this, didn’t you just say a total of six factions are very interested in these antiques? Could you elaborate?"

"Hehe, so that’s to say... the local snake somewhat does have a bit of effect." Li Yan smiled mysteriously but did not continue the conversation.

Sonia quickly grasped his meaning, clearly, he was waiting for her to speak up. If they don’t tell him all the plans and personnel involved, he wouldn’t reveal which other factions are involved. If he truly had such information, it would be critically important for the success of their actions; doing a big job also requires balancing whether it’s worth it.

However, she was still a bit doubtful if King truly had so much information or was just trying to extract answers from her.

From a personal standpoint, she believed King had this capability, because King was not just a person but also the leader of ’their’ organization, so he had a crew working for him. Moreover, he was a Yun Country person, it seemed he had arrived in S City a while ago, there was no reason for him to come here just for vacation, he surely had his channels.

Besides, last time when inviting him, he replied with refusal, but now he came by himself, could it be during this time, he was merely doing surface-level work disguising and hadn’t done anything else? Did he just come to dilly-dally? Or to laze around?

Everything seemed believable, maybe among these six factions, it included himself! But... Yun Country people are very cunning. Eva was so cautious, yet still fell under his gun, if he’s just bluffing...

"Have you found your Eva yet? Recently, she hasn’t come to find me." Li Yan, knowing she was pondering, shifted to another topic, an unrelated topic.

Sonia’s train of thought got interrupted momentarily; she had to respond, "No, it seems her injuries might be severe, still recuperating somewhere. Additionally, she might not even know we came, trying to avoid you, the local snake, so certainly she hid away, dared not call randomly."

"Really?" Li Yan looked at Sonia with a smile, then softly said, "Let me tell you a secret, actually... I’ve been a bit bored these days, thinking perhaps I might find some clues at the funeral home, so as a friend, I went to the funeral home again, hehe..."

He didn’t say anything further, just laughed while looking into Sonia’s eyes.

"What did you find?" Sonia asked once.

"What do you think? Whatever I can discover, I surely did discover, right? Miss Rose!"

Seeing Li Yan’s manner, Sonia felt a bit helpless, just admitted, "Exactly, actually last time when I went to the funeral home, I saw Eva’s corpse. I just didn’t acknowledge it, told the staff there that I didn’t know her, and later told you there were no corpses there. Honestly, my intention was simple, I just didn’t want to create vendetta, with what I said... Do you believe me?"

Li Yan exhaled a smoke ring, with a self-deprecating look said, "Of course I believe, whatever you say, I believe. Last time you said Eva might be fine, escaped from the funeral home, I also believed. Towards beauties, I always have no resistance, totally believe. Even if... you said you kidnapped my friend, I would believe!"

When saying the last sentence, a hint of killing intent flashed through his mind, if Xiaodi left just because of her mother’s reason, that’s fine, but if it gets proved Sonia is involved, then he won’t let any of them go!

Listening to his previous words, Sonia slightly smiled bitterly, certainly feeling Li Yan was mocking her. And the last sentence, inexplicably made her feel a sudden chill. At this moment, made her realize, though since their last conversation, King had shown no hostility towards her, it doesn’t mean she’s stronger than King, or suppressed him!

Her expression immediately turned serious, if it’s only about Eva, then there’s no problem, initially there was no ill intent, and the person is dead. Yet if King misunderstands that she kidnapped his friend, that would be an insolvable big trouble!
