Chapter 700 The Incident Nine Years Ago

I asked an obvious question.

Shawn gave me an answer. "No one is reliable."

"Mr. Briar said that Rudy might leave a slight margin of possibility."

Shawn had seen through Alfred's true nature. "Alfred is more likely to tear people apart."

After we entered the living room, I went to the kitchen to pour a glass of milk for Shawn and heated it up in the microwave. Meanwhile, Shawn stood at the doorway with his arms crossed, and his slender body leaned against the door frame. "Ray, this is not a competition in the business world. No matter how much money you have, it won't help. It all depends on who can outsmart the other. Whether it's me, Alfred, or the person pulling the strings from the shadows, everyone is plotting against each other. While the praying mantis hunts the cicada, the oriole is behind the praying mantis. It all depends on who is the oriole, or who is the hunter with a gun behind the oriole."

I felt anxious when I heard what he said. "Isn't it dangerous?"

Shawn shook his head. "I'm not telling you all this to make you worry about me. I want you to understand the current situation."

He was teaching me…

He was teaching me how to think in his world.

"Are you and Sir Larson the mantis or the cicada now?"

Shawn smirked. "At least we are not the oriole."

Not the oriole, and definitely not the hunter with a gun.

I bit my lip. "Then who do you suspect is the oriole?"

"It's obvious that Alfred and I have the same suspicion."

Alfred was the first to suspect Ezekiel.

And Shawn also suspected Ezekiel.

I wanted to say that it couldn't be him.
