Ancestors, I told you to seduce the villains, not to turn evil.

Meng Qihui's wife performed a meritorious service, making up for the mistake that Meng Qihui almost made. This matter can be considered a balance of merit and demerit, so there was neither reward nor punishment.

However, dealing with this matter afterward proved to be somewhat tricky.

Meng Qihui has done a great service, capturing a major drug lord, but also bringing about a crisis.

When the drug lord was being arrested, some of his men got wind of it beforehand and managed to escape.

These people are vindictive and will definitely retaliate against Meng Qihui once they know his identity.

In order to protect Meng Qihui.

His boss made the decision to conceal the truth and shift the blame onto him.

He doesn't mind suffering a little grievance, but he absolutely cannot let Meng Qihui be in danger.

This led to the truth that Meng Mingxuan discovered later.

As for Meng Mingxuan's mother, after being rescued, she underwent compulsory drug rehabilitation, which damaged her physical health. Coupled with her already weak condition, this led to her early death.

This is the truth of the matter.

That's often how things are in the world—a mix of truth and falsehood.

What is true may not be true, and what is false may not be false.

What Meng Mingxuan believes to be the truth is precisely the biggest lie.

These thoughts flashed through Yamamoto's mind as he pondered.

He wasn't foolish enough to reveal the whole truth about his collaboration with Meng Mingxuan.

After all, the so-called truth back then was something that Meng Mingxuan, who knew nothing about, could overlook, while Meng Qihui knew everything about what happened back then.

Thinking of this, he spoke in a deep voice.

“We tried to win over Young Master Meng at the time, offering him many benefits, and he readily agreed to our cooperation.”

“I was surprised at the time, so I had someone investigate the matter. In the end, it turned out that Young Master Meng seemed to be seeking revenge for his mother or something, but I don’t know the specifics.”

“But I have a very good working relationship with Young Master Meng. Over the years, he has helped us a lot. If we had known that he was in danger when he came back this time, we would have taken him away.”

Yamamoto Tsuyoshi spoke those last few words with a serious expression, but how much of it was genuine remains to be seen.

Meng Qihui remained silent for a long time. He never expected that the truth would be like this, that he had actually investigated the cause of his mother's death.

Back then, his superiors took the blame for protecting him and later sacrificed their lives in the line of duty, but he never felt guilty.

But since the person was no longer alive, he didn't reveal what happened back then. Old Master Meng knew about it, but he assumed that the family kept it to themselves.

But he neglected his son, who was young at the time. He said his mother had died of illness, and Meng Mingxuan did not suspect anything at the time.

Later, for a period of time, Meng Mingxuan acted strangely and would ask him questions about his mother.

Meng Qihui thought the child missed his mother, so he told Meng Mingxuan about his youth.

I forgot that the child is already grown up. Perhaps he discovered clues in those words and then investigated on his own.

He tacitly acknowledged that his son knew the truth about what happened back then, while Meng Mingxuan thought that his father felt guilty about the truth and therefore did not bring it up.

Both of them were thinking of the other, but they never expected that they would be blinded by their own limited perspectives, which would instead harm Meng Mingxuan and lead him to commit treason.

If he had known sooner, perhaps Meng Mingxuan wouldn't have ended up like this.

Meng Qihui closed his eyes briefly to hide the deep sorrow in them, and looked at Yamamoto Tsuyoshi.

"Thank you for telling me all this. Don't worry, I will do my best to help you with what you asked me to do. And I'm not doing this just to help you; I'm doing it to avenge my son."

"You probably already know how my son died, so I won't go into details. Now, what do you need me to do?"

Yamamoto offered Meng Qihui a few words of comfort, then placed a business plan on his desk.

“Mr. Meng, I know that your Factory 132 is in dire need of investment right now. I have a billion yuan to invest, but I need Mr. Meng’s help.”

Meng Qihui opened the file on the table, saw its contents, and immediately raised an eyebrow.

"Companies from country F?"

Yamamoto smiled slightly: "Yes, the company is from France, but I hold the controlling stake. As long as you convince them to let my company invest, I want 55% of the shares."

"Once the contract is signed, I will be the largest shareholder of Factory 132 and have absolute control."

"When the time comes, I will only take what I want, and I won't care about anything else."

Holding more than 50% of the shares grants absolute control, allowing the company to unilaterally amend the articles of association, decide on company mergers/divisions/dissolutions, and veto all proposals from other shareholders.

At that time, the fighter jet technology developed by the Xue family will be from their country, Japan.

In other words, as long as China agrees to the investment, the fighter jets will simply be a stepping stone for someone else.

The research on fighter jets involved several years of hard work and an investment of at least several billion dollars, which is why we have achieved what we have today.

Now that the factory needs financing, he only needs to gain absolute control to use 1 billion yuan to take away billions of yuan worth of scientific research achievements from China.

Just thinking about it made Yamamoto feel the pent-up frustration in his chest dissipate.

Meng Qihui knew that persuading the leadership to bring in foreign investment to Factory 132 would be extremely difficult.

Although the country has begun to introduce advanced foreign technologies, Factory 132 is different; it is the country's arsenal.

The consequences of allowing foreign investment in a country's arsenal are entirely predictable.

However, it's worth mentioning that country F is somewhat different.

Country F and China have always maintained friendly relations and have close trade ties. When China was just starting its reforms, Country F was the first to support them, bringing technology and taking the initiative to assist China.

They will always remember the help they received from country F, so persuading the leaders might be difficult, but it's worth a try.

Meng Qihui agreed.

"I can help persuade the leader, but I can't guarantee whether it will be successful."

He simply wanted to know why his son was cooperating with the people from Japan. Now that he knew, it was no longer necessary to discuss whether or not to proceed with the cooperation.

Yamamoto frowned slightly when he saw that Meng Qihui's attitude had changed. He had come here to see Meng Qihui in order to cooperate with him better.

With Meng Qihui's current lack of enthusiasm, his plan is unlikely to proceed.

After all, without Meng Qihui's help, China would definitely not have agreed to allow Factory 132 to introduce foreign investment.

His eyes were deep, and his fingers tapped the table unconsciously. He quickly thought of Meng Mingxuan's death.

Yamamoto's eyes flickered, and he spoke casually.

“Mr. Meng, I heard that the chairman of the Hope Foundation is the one who killed Young Master Meng. If you want revenge, I can help you.”

"Well, Young Master Meng has helped us so much, we should reciprocate in kind."
