"What nonsense are you spouting? Where are you from? Why are you in Sang Country? Why have you been in contact with the head of the Assassination Hall? Confess everything! Otherwise, you might never return to Long Country in your life."
Trying to recover something, Li Yue changed the subject.
Upon hearing this, Su Yang pursed his lips and said, "Perhaps Madam President has heard my name. I am from Songhai, and my name is Su Yang."
"Su Yang?" Li Yue immediately connected Su Yang's face with the dozens of complaint letters that had been uploaded earlier.
"You are Su Yang?"
Su Yang nodded, "I am Su Yang. Madam President, it is an honor to finally meet you."
Li Yue looked at Su Yang, finding him reasonably well-mannered, aside from his recent actions.
Looking at the person before her, Li Yue said, "Indeed, it is an honor. I have quite a few letters of complaint against you."
Hearing Li Yue's words, Su Yang gave a wry smile, "Madam President, you can just glance at those. If you want to know the truth, feel free to investigate. Once you do, you'll likely know what's true and what's false."
Li Yue heard Su Yang's words but did not answer immediately.
She sized Su Yang up and said, "Let's not discuss the truth or falsehood of those for now. Tell me why you are here."
"This..." Su Yang gave another wry smile. "It's a long story, Madam President. Do you have time?"
Li Yue did not have much time, as she still needed to find Xie Feng.
Her trip to Sang Country was primarily for Xie Feng.
As for Shangguan Zhongtang, there would be plenty of time to apprehend him.
Pursing her lips, Li Yue said, "If you are willing to cooperate, I will apprehend you first. We can discuss the rest once we return to Long Country, and I will give you an opportunity to explain."
Upon hearing this, Su Yang shook his head, "Madam President, right here, do you have time? I'll be brief, and the answer won't disappoint you.
Given the numerous complaint letters, you must have investigated me before. I, Su Yang, am not what they claim. If you are interested, or rather, if you want to know the truth, please give me some time.
My reason for coming to Sang Country this time is not because of you, nor is it primarily because of Shangguan Zhongtang. I have more important matters to attend to, so time is of the essence..."
Before Li Yue could finish speaking, Su Yang asked, "Not because of me, and not because of Shangguan Zhongtang? Then it's related to Sakata Chon?"
Being interrupted felt extremely unpleasant, but facing Su Yang at this moment, Li Yue could only nod.
"There's some connection. I'm pressed for time now."
"Would you be willing to cooperate with me, Madam President?" Su Yang extended an invitation to Li Yue.
Su Yang had disembarked from the Yang Wei to avoid Li Yue, to prevent her from discovering he was also in Sang Country and had connections with all seven major assassination organizations.
But fate played a cruel trick! He had come out, and Li Yue happened to be right there...
When Su Yang spotted Li Yue, his instinct was to run. If he ran, Li Yue would immediately pursue him, putting Su Yang in a difficult situation.
However, Su Yang had not expected that Li Yue's reason for being here was neither because of him nor Shangguan Zhongtang.
Su Yang had already felt it was unlikely to be about him, but it wasn't about Shangguan Zhongtang either.
Su Yang had no idea why Li Yue was here in Sakata Chon.
After all, it was in Sakata Chon that Su Yang had discovered Li Yue.
He had had no information about Li Yue along the way.
At this moment, Su Yang wanted Li Yue to lower her guard. Knowing that Li Yue had another objective, and that this objective was related to Sakata Chon, Su Yang felt he had a chance.
Hearing Su Yang's words, Li Yue narrowed her eyes and looked at him.
"I still don't know why you are here in Sakata Chon. Do you think I would share such confidential information with you?"
Su Yang spread his hands and said, "Madam President, whether you believe me or not, I want to tell you, I am truly, truly, truly not a spy.
I love Long Country. Long Country is my only homeland. I will never forget the humiliation and suffering endured by the ancestors of Long Country a hundred years ago."
"Anyone can say that," Li Yue was very cautious.
Seeing Li Yue's caution, Su Yang pursed his lips and said, "Madam President should know about my situation with Shangguan Zhongtang.
And why Madam President knows about Shangguan Zhongtang, and why you are here in Sakata Chon this time, should be because of a confidential document, right?"
Su Yang gave a faint smile and said, "This confidential document, without account information, was sent directly to your phone."
"It was you?" Li Yue looked at Su Yang in utter shock.
"Madam President, we established a cooperative relationship two or three days ago. I am here in Sakata Chon for reasons I cannot avoid. If Madam President is willing to trust me, can we cooperate?"
Upon learning that Su Yang had sent her the secret document, Li Yue became somewhat dazed.
She replayed the events in her mind.
At this moment, Li Yue was also lowering her guard against Su Yang.
Because Li Yue felt that if Su Yang had provided her with information about Shangguan Zhongtang, it would indeed mean they had established cooperation earlier.
Li Yue frowned and looked at Su Yang, "First, tell me why you gave me that document."
"If Madam President knows about my situation with Shangguan Zhongtang, then you should know how excessively Shangguan Zhongtang, that old scoundrel, has bullied me. You should also know how desperate I, a mere ordinary citizen of Long Country, have been pushed to by someone holding the rank of Military Commander.
Shangguan Zhongtang first kidnapped my master, and then all the subsequent events occurred. How could my strength possibly compare to Shangguan Zhongtang's?
And before... Shangguan Zhongtang sent people from Sakata Chon to assassinate me. Coincidentally, the assassin sent to kill me fell in love with me."
"What?" Everything had been reasonable until this point, but when Su Yang said this, Li Yue found it somewhat absurd.
Su Yang touched his face and said, "Madam President, you are also a woman. Look at me, would you fall in love with me?"
Hearing Su Yang's words, Li Yue blushed and glared at Su Yang, saying word by word, "No, I wouldn't!"
"Just a joke, Madam President," Su Yang waved his hand with a smile.
"Whether you believe it or not, that's how it is. If you don't believe me, you can investigate. I have people from Sakata Chon at my home who are already carrying my child."
Li Yue looked at Su Yang with disbelief and a look of incomprehension.
Su Yang looked at Li Yue and continued, "I was forced by Shangguan Zhongtang and had no choice but to drift at sea. Originally, I intended for the people of Sakata Chon, who are now my people, to steal the transaction documents between Shangguan Zhongtang and Sakata Chon."
