My beautiful CEO wife

Chapter 1771: Demon Alliance

"Demon?"

"Why, has Mr. Xiao gotten involved with those people?"

Long Qie asked somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "After my trip to Jiangnan Province to eradicate the Lu Family, I unexpectedly found out that the Lu Family was actually supported by a secular force secretly backed by the Flame Demon Sect."

"Since I’ve never interacted with the demon before, I wanted to ask if you know anything about this."

"The Flame Demon Sect huh? I happen to have heard of this sect before," Long Qie said. "The Flame Demon Sect’s influence in the demon isn’t small. And supposedly, they recruited a peerless genius named Cao Xuan a few years ago. Right after Cao Xuan joined, the Sect Master appointed him as the Young Sect Master."

"In any case, this demon sect called Flame Demon Sect, they’re not to be underestimated."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng’s expression instantly became somewhat awkward.

This is ridiculously coincidental!

Xiao Zheng was initially at a loss, then he said, "The genius youth you mentioned, Cao Xuan, died yesterday."

"What? Cao Xuan is dead? Who did it?" Long Qie widened his eyes, looking utterly incredulous.

Xiao Zheng didn’t speak, just pointed to himself with his finger.

Seeing this, Long Qie was suddenly lost for words, "Mr. Xiao, is this news true? Did Cao Xuan really die by your hand? How did he provoke you?"

"Is it possibly because of the Lu Family’s matter?"

Xiao Zheng nodded at this and said, "That’s right. Didn’t I just tell you? The Lu Family was a secular force secretly supported by the Flame Demon Sect. After the Lu Family was annihilated, the Flame Demon Sect sent Cao Xuan out to investigate. Coincidentally, I ran into him, and even more coincidentally, he died by my hand."

Although he spoke casually, Long Qie’s heart was stirred up in turmoil.

"What’s the matter?"

Xiao Zheng saw the odd look on his face and couldn’t help but ask.

Long Qie smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Xiao, this matter is quite troublesome. From what I know, the demon differs somewhat from the Eight Great Sacred Grounds, in that the demon people are actually more united than outsiders imagine."

"They have alliances too, and they definitely pursue an enemy relentlessly. Since you killed the Young Sect Master of the Flame Demon Sect, the Flame Demon Sect absolutely won’t let it go."

"Is that so? What more do you know about the demon?" Xiao Zheng continued to ask.

Long Qie shook his head and said, "That’s all I know for now. The demon usually doesn’t show themselves, like a hibernating viper, very deeply hidden. I’m aware of the demon’s existence because I’ve heard friends talking about it before."

"A hibernating viper? That’s quite an interesting description." Xiao Zheng laughed and said, "Actually, things aren’t as bad as you imagine. No matter how rampant the Demon Alliance gets, it can’t compare to the Eight Great Sacred Grounds, right?"

"A mere Flame Demon Sect can’t stir up much trouble."

Seeing his indifference, Long Qie shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying, "Things aren’t that simple. The Demon Alliance’s strength can’t match the Eight Great Sacred Grounds, but their tactics are much more insidious."

"They have no scruples; morals and laws mean nothing to them. Calling them crazy isn’t wrong at all. It’s not easy being targeted by such a group."

"After all, too many lice do bite, don’t they?"

Xiao Zheng lowered his head, pondered briefly, then said, "What you’re saying makes sense, but it’s also somewhat pointless. Cao Xuan is already dead by my hand, so regardless, we’re certainly already targeted by the Demon Alliance."

"The only way to eliminate future troubles is to take the initiative!"

Upon hearing this, Long Qie’s heart raced, and he asked, "Mr. Xiao, do you intend to deliberately find trouble with the Demon Alliance?"

Xiao Zheng didn’t plan to conceal his intentions, nodding and saying, "That’s right. That’s exactly my plan. They’re not truly madmen; anyone who’s human will feel fear. We just need to strike fear into them, and they’ll naturally dare not make a move against us."

"That’s indeed a good plan..." Long Qie said with a bitter smile, "Then at dawn, I’ll immediately arrange for personnel to investigate information about the Demon Alliance."

"Not only do we need to investigate information about the Demon Alliance, but the main thing is to find the location of the Flame Demon Sect first," Xiao Zheng said. "If we can eliminate the Flame Demon Sect first, our plan will be at least halfway successful."

Long Qie nodded and said, "Rest assured, I’ll take care of this matter. Nowadays, our Sky Net spies can be said to be spread all over the world. Unless the Demon Alliance truly hides underground, I can certainly pull them out!"

"You handle these things according to your discretion," Xiao Zheng laughed and said, "In any case, I’m currently just a hands-off manager. The operations of Sky Net depend on you guys to maintain."

Hearing this, Long Qie couldn’t help but complain, "Stop talking like that. We’re all swamped right now. Even Titan and Evil Eyes, not to mention Catherine, are out carrying out missions. I’m the only one managing affairs, big or small, at headquarters."

"What? Did even they go out on missions? Has something big happened?" Xiao Zheng asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, Long Qie shook his head and said, "That’s not the case. It’s just that the surveillance of the Eight Great Sacred Grounds required them to personally handle it. The spies’ levels aren’t as high as theirs, and it’s easy for people from the Eight Great Sacred Grounds to notice them. Oh, and there’s the Western aliens too."

"Catherine, right now, she’s in Europe."

"I got it. There’s no other way; capable people should do more work." Xiao Zheng laughed and said, "In terms of management and operational ability, you guys are better than me, so I won’t come and add to your troubles."

Hearing his words, Long Qie couldn’t help but roll his eyes at him.

Xiao Zheng didn’t take it to heart, got up, and said with a smile, "That’s settled then. Besides the Eight Great Sacred Grounds and Western aliens, make sure to send people to follow up on the Demon Alliance."

"Especially for the Demon Alliance, gather as much information about them as possible."

Long Qie nodded, almost like he was swearing on it.

Xiao Zheng was relatively confident in Long Qie’s ability to execute tasks, so he reminded him of a few things before leaving Sky Net’s headquarters again. When he returned home, both women were already asleep.

Worried about waking Leng Ruobing, Xiao Zheng went to the guest room to rest.

Just as Xiao Zheng was surprised, as soon as he lay in bed, a warm, soft body snuggled into his embrace...
