Dragon Raja: Oh no! Lu Mingfei has been diagnosed with depression!

"They've gone out."

Mai Shude took off her headphones, let out a long sigh, and turned to look at Su Enxi, who was lying on the sofa applying a face mask:

"Want to know what I heard?"

"Don't tell me I'm not interested in what they whispered to me. I'm in a good mood right now, don't spoil it by telling me."

Su Enxi rolled over and said nonchalantly, "Aren't you going to follow them and keep an eye on them? They're not exactly well-behaved kids; if no adults are watching them, they might be up to something earth-shattering."

"They weren't planning on doing anything earth-shattering, but they said some shocking things. If anyone else had heard them, we would have seen arrest warrants for Young Master Lu and his two lackeys on TV tomorrow."

Mai stood up and stood in front of Su Enxi, pressing her hands against her head with a solemn expression as if she were about to lean down and kiss her:

"Potato chips, we're in big trouble."

Su Enxi was frightened and struggled a few times, but she couldn't even shake her head or nod in Jiu Demai's slender but strong hand. She could only be forced to meet Jiu Demai's eyes, which were originally charming but now showed signs of unease.

Su Enxi paused for a moment, realized something was wrong, and sat up from the sofa:

"So what exactly did they say?"

"Three days later, Tachibana Masamune, the patriarch of the Snake-Headed Eight Families, will dive down to the bottom of the Japan Trench with them, intending to use a bomb to destroy the embryo hidden in the abyss."

"The Snake-Headed Eight Family must have gone mad!"

Su Enxi was taken aback. She grabbed the notebook on the table, typed a website address into the browser, hesitated for a few seconds, and then dialed a phone number:

"Stop complaining. I know it's the middle of the night where you are, but if you don't answer this call tonight, we might lose tens of billions of dollars in a few days! From now on, for the next three days, I don't care what methods you use, liquidate all our assets and stocks in Japan! You heard me right, all of them! Don't leave a single penny in this godforsaken place!"

Mai Shude stared blankly at the woman who had been so gentle and harmless in her hands, but now transformed into a female tyrant, frantically typing on the keyboard while holding the phone steady with her shoulder and issuing commands to the person on the other end of the line.

"I know this will result in a lot of financial loss, but it's better than losing everything!"

Su Enxi raised an eyebrow, her brows radiating a heroic spirit, like an empress sitting on a throne:

"Stop arguing with me! You asked where you heard this inside information? I'm staying at the Peninsula Hotel in Tokyo right now, and just a few minutes ago some lunatic tried to drag a Japanese yakuza boss to do extreme sports! If you have any friends who happen to be traveling in Japan, buy them tickets to leave now, it's not safe here anymore."

Su Enxi hung up the phone, took a deep breath, and looked up at Jiu De Mai:

"Now you can continue. What else did they discuss in the room? Were they planning how to kidnap Erii after killing Tachibana Masamune?"

"How did you guess they wanted to kill Tachibana Masamune?"

Mai Shude was shocked; Su Enxi had already guessed what would happen next before she could even finish speaking.

"Are they really going to kill Tachibana Masamune?"

Su Enxi was dumbfounded. "I was thinking... given Lu Mingfei's personality, how could he possibly bring a burden like this? It's like when you're crossing the desert, you put a bottle of water in your backpack. The purpose is definitely to drink it at a critical moment, not to carry it with you across the desert like a religion."

"So, either he has a grudge against Tachibana Masamune at this time, or he wants to use the emperor to command the others. But either way, Tachibana Masamune's fate won't be good... But from what you're saying, Lu Mingfei is someone who wants to kill Tachibana Masamune, so he dragged him into this mess?"

"More or less."

Mai Shude covered her forehead, only able to sigh that Su Enxi had stumbled upon something by sheer luck. "In short, he presented a lot of evidence to Caesar and Chu Zihang to prove one thing: the Snake Clan will definitely betray them."

"What's the reason?"

"What's the reason? Didn't I say that Lu Mingfei believes the Snake-Headed Eight Families will definitely betray them, which is why he brought Tachibana Masamune along?"

"No, based on my understanding of Genjiro, he would definitely volunteer to replace Tachibana Masamune. If it were me, I would not hesitate to abandon Tachibana Masamune when Genjiro said such a thing."

Su Enxi paced back and forth in the room. "Although Tachibana Masamune is the patriarch, everyone can see that he's about to retire, and the next patriarch will be Genjiro. So at this moment, Genjiro's value is much higher than Tachibana Masamune's. But under these circumstances, Lu Mingfei still chose Tachibana Masamune, right?"

Mai nodded.

"It seems I have to overturn all my previous guesses."

Su Enxi sighed.

"What do you mean?"

Jiude Mai didn't quite understand the meaning of that sentence.

"It doesn't surprise me that Lu Mingfei could guess the betrayal of the Snake-Headed Eight Families. But if it was to threaten the Snake-Headed Eight Families, Lu Mingfei would definitely choose Genjiro as the hostage. However, he is still determined to have Tachibana Masamune act with them."

Su Enxi paused for a moment, "This only proves that Lu Mingfei's purpose was not to threaten the Snake Clan at all. We were wrong from the beginning."

"But that's exactly what he said to Caesar and Chu Zihang in the room: he said they needed someone of high status to be their bargaining chip..."

"Those words were meant for us. Lu Mingfei probably already knows that we planted listening devices in that room or something."

Su Enxi interrupted Jiu De Mai, "Otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to explain so clearly. Caesar and Chu Zihang are practically his little fans. Even if he said he just likes Tachibana Masamune, Caesar and Chu Zihang would just silently applaud."

"But why would he do that?"

Mai Shude was completely dumbfounded.

"I don't know either, but you're right about one thing: we're in big trouble."

Su Enxi shook her head. "I have a new guess... If we dig up everything Lu Mingfei did after coming into contact with Kassel College, there must be something we haven't noticed!"

"Doctor, do you mean that Lu Mingfei's Word of Power isn't actually the Mirror Eye, but rather some kind of psychological state that we can't understand?"

Angers took a deep breath and stared in disbelief at the psychologist he had paid a high price to bring back from China. He thought to himself, "Doctor, you have a really strong mental fortitude. After learning the truth about this world, you accepted it in just a few days. You even rushed into my office early this morning, excitedly saying that you had made a new discovery."

But isn't this new discovery a bit too astonishing?

Angers looked down at the thick stack of documents in his hand and suddenly felt a little dizzy and lightheaded.
