Chapter: 6087

He knew that An Qishan had already left North Union and didn't plan on returning; even if his aviation company burned down again, it wouldn't bring him any trouble. After all, people aren't the ones who burn down buildings, and he himself was willing to let go of these untransferable assets.

But what about me?

He couldn't help but think that An Qishan could leave Flame Country, while he had nowhere to hide.

It's not like we're going to abandon the entire Rosencrantz family just because we're looking for Peter and those Four Treasures.

After thinking it through, he still felt that An Qishan's advice was worth trying.

Just then, An Qishan consoled him with a smile, "Don't worry too much, old brother. As long as you can process the remains cleanly, we're basically in the clear. If something does go awry, this matter will be of greater concern to the Order of the Broken Seal than my own connection."

Howard asked unconsciously, "Why do you say that?"

An Qishan said, "Well, first, I have a grudge with the Order of the Broken Seal; second, Chen Zhiming is supposed to be my son-in-law on the surface; and third, this aviation company is under my family's name. If the Order of the Broken Seal finds out that Chen Zhiming died in this fire, they'll suspect you more than me."

Just then, An Qishan's words let Howard on the other end of the phone suddenly take a deep breath!

He thought to himself: "An Qishan is right! No matter how you look at it, this matter is more related to him. As long as I can process the clues from this big fire and hide everyone involved, who would know that I'm the one who did it?"

Thinking of this, he still felt very embarrassed saying: "An old brother, this matter has nothing to do with you, but I'll let you take on the risk for me. How could I live with myself?"

The reason he was being polite is because Howard knew that even if they could cover up this matter from the Order of the Broken Seal, An Qishan would know everything behind the scenes. If he decides to reveal the truth one day, the Order of the Broken Seal might still hold him accountable.

So, he had to probe An Qishan's intentions, see if he was really willing to help him out.

An Qishan didn't have a clue what Howard was thinking and casually said: "I've been at odds with the Order of the Broken Seal for ages. Taking on this little risk is nothing more than a mosquito bite. They originally wanted to wipe out my entire family, so even if they think I killed Chen Zhiming, they won't be able to do anything to me. It's not like they'll kill my whole family twice."

Crafty as he was, Howard had always been someone who prioritized his own interests. If the world randomly lost one person, he would at least pray to God for a 99.99% population reduction.

Moreover, he wouldn't feel indebted to anyone.

But now, he felt deeply grateful towards An Qishan and said with emotion: "An old brother, I'm truly too grateful!"

An Qishan smiled slightly and opened his mouth: "Old brother, you should be prepared psychologically in case the Order of the Broken Seal finds out that this matter is related to you."

Howard's heart was tight with anxiety, knowing that An Qishan was right; everything could indeed expose some risks, but he had no other choice and had to rush to destroy evidence and cover his tracks at least.

So, he thanked him sincerely: "An old brother, thank you for your reminder and help. I'll take my time to do as you said, and if they still discover it in the end, so be it."

The two of them chatted briefly before hanging up the phone. Howard then began using his connections to try to destroy evidence.

Meanwhile, An Qishan sent a message to Ye Chen telling him that Howard had already been hooked.

Ye Chen scared Old Master into threatening Howard, mainly for his own one-stone-four-birds plan to come to fruition.

The reason it's called "one-stone-four-birds" is because after this matter is settled, the first thing will be to ruthlessly torment Howard and make him sleepless; secondly, it will make Howard think that Zhou Liang has already died and give up searching for his whereabouts; thirdly, it will lure Howard into helping with evidence destruction and making it harder for the Order of the Broken Seal to find clues, and finally, it will pull in the Ross family.

Hank arrived at the navigation company just as the Ross family had already boarded Ye Chen's pirate ship. Once they actively participated in destroying evidence, there would be no way back; from then on, he could only rely on this one thing to tightly grasp Howard. JrNovels.com
