Chapter 996: Sis-in-law Is Truly in Defiance
Si Yiyan felt proud of his subordinates’ recognition and concern towards Wen Xinya .
He initially brought Wen Xinya to Russia with the intention of letting her understand more about his background . Having been in a relationship with her for more than three years, he wanted her to know more about him .
However, he did not expect that she would meet with various mishaps and end up having close shaves with death simply because she wanted to bring about more benefits to Lucifer .
Si Yiyan leaned against the seat slowly with his slender and bony spine taut and upright . However, at this moment, it seemed like a knife that had become blunt and he began to lay back sluggishly . “I’ve already spoken to Duke Moville yesterday . He plans to use the rights to the mine as an exchange for the document . ”
Having already guessed his intentions right from the start, Gu Yuehan and his colleagues were not surprised to hear the revelation . Once Si Yiyan set his sights on something, he would be bent on obtaining it .
Si Yiyan continued, “Currently, we’ve secured three ore mines which have just been opened and there’s room for development too . One of them is a rare cobalt ore and the other is a relatively rare magnesium ore . The larger one is a resource for iron . Gu Yuehan shall be in charge of the detailed cooperation . ”
The outcome of the negotiation was better than he had expected . Cobalt could be used to create weapons, machines, aircraft, and explosives, while magnesium was an extremely rare resource .
Unable to hide his astonishment, Gu Yuehan said with a nod, “Rest assured, Ninth Young Master . ”
It was the best outcome they could get, and the benefits were far greater than those offered in the document .
Even Yueze was extremely thrilled . “Duke Moville was actually willing to hand over such important ores . It’s incredible . ”
It wouldn’t be too surprising if Duke Moville only offered to give up his magnesium and iron ores . But cobalt? What is going on? Are Duke Moville’s brains fried? Or did he knock himself silly while negotiating with Ninth Young Master?
Xu Xianghu exclaimed in awe, “Sis-in-law is impressive . ”
Xu Xianghu’s respect towards Wen Xinya was taken to another level! If it weren’t because of the document that she had obtained, they wouldn’t have been able to clinch those essential ores .
Si Yiyan said, “Besides, your Sis-in-law rescued Duke Berveld’s youngest grandson and Duke Berveld called me last night to thank your Sis-in-law and Lucifer . He’s also willing to give us the mining right for niobium . It will last for ten years . ”
He was well aware of what actually happened last night . He was the one who stabbed Mr . Berveld and left him to fend for himself . It was not because he was afraid of Mr . Berveld, but rather, it was because he did not want Wen Xinya to shoulder the burden and consequences of the matter . However… it was never too late to seek revenge . Also, there were plenty of ways to make someone disappear .
After listening to Si Yiyan’s explanation, Gu Yuehan and the other two had a clearer idea of what happened . They were rather impressed by the shrewd and brilliant way he had handled the matter .
Gu Yuehan said, “Duke Berveld is willing to give us the rights to the mine, partly because he wants to thank Lucifer and your Sis-in-law for saving his grandson and also because he wants to initiate a cooperation with Lucifer . Boss, what are your thoughts on it?”
Lucifer and Duke Berveld had always been cooperating with each other, though it was always superficial . This time, Duke Berveld had the intention to work closely with him solely in business, without getting politics involved . That was extremely beneficial to Lucifer .
Si Yiyan answered calmly, “We’ll wait!”

There were various meanings to his words .
As the largest firearms dealer in Russia, Duke Moville was definitely interested in working with Si Yiyan, who owned 60% of the raw materials market . Duke Berveld had once looked him up with the intention of forging a cooperation, too . However, he was afraid that Si Yiyan would find him to be too condescending and turn him down .
This time, Lucifer managed to assert dominance in the aristocratic circle because of Duke Moville, allowing Lucifer to exhibit the tip of the iceberg of their abilities . His grandson’s incident had also made Duke Berveld take Lucifer more seriously . Hence, he decided to forge friendly ties with Lucifer .
Duke Berveld was the most prestigious aristocrat in Russia and hence, he knew more about Lucifer compared to the other aristocratic families . Previously, he had belittled Lucifer because they were laying low . After all, there tends to be a change in the hierarchy over time . However, the tip of the iceberg was already enough to capture Duke Berveld’s attention and make him view Lucifer in a different light . Lucifer had always been known to weigh the pros and cons of everything and remain humble despite being formidable .
Xu Xianghu asked, “Boss, what do you mean?”
Si Yiyan exclaimed smilingly, “It’s not enough!”
Yueze immediately understood what he meant .
A little confused, Xu Xianghu asked, “What’s not enough? Boss, could you not beat around the bush with me? I’m slow-witted . I’ll do a good job if you tell me to commit murder or arson instead . ”
Si Yiyan pursed his lips and remained silent .

Yueze snorted with laughter and teased . “You’re indeed well built but simple-minded . ”
Gu Yuehan explained, “Duke Berveld may have expressed his goodwill, but he’s not sincere enough . Boss wants them to bring the benefits to us themselves . ”
Scratching his head, Xu Xianghu asked, “How could there be such a good thing?”
Yueze smacked his head and chastised . “You’re so silly . You wouldn’t know how to execute this . Just follow Boss’ instructions . ”
Plan A was not purely a plan to eliminate the snitch . In fact, Lucifer had greater intentions . It was also a way of exhibiting Rex’s formidable political status and Lucifer’s power . It also served as a warning to others .
Duke Berveld was enticed by the power that Lucifer had exhibited . He would probably offer them the benefits himself .
That was Si Yiyan’s true intentions .
Some people were well built but simple-minded and enjoyed resorting to violence to solve problems . There were also those who enjoyed using racial discrimination to mock and humiliate others . Yet, none of them could defeat Si Yiyan, who was extremely scheming and shrewd .
Xu Xianghu nodded and exclaimed sincerely, “Oh right! We’ll never go wrong listening to Boss . ”

Xu Xianghu added in his head, And Sis-in-law!
Although Xu Xianghu was rather simple-minded, he had great awareness and knew right from the start, that he had to suck up to Wen Xinya . In fact, that was rather intelligent of him .
How scheming!
