117: Chapter 117 Treasure Pouch

"So what?" Qin Peifeng asked, tilting his head.

"Young Master, think about it. If we were to assassinate him over this matter, wouldn't it be more trouble than it's worth? After all, he has been constantly under attack. If he decides to lay all the blame on us, then we would truly be suffering a loss."

"So, are you taking Robinson's side now?" Qin Peifeng said, sounding somewhat dissatisfied.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Uncle Ning's eyes. However, he believed his Young Master was a person who could listen to reason, so he continued.

"Young Master, I watched you grow up. I know everything you have suffered since you were a child. Therefore, everything I think is for your own good; this is something you cannot question. Even if you feel I am speaking for an outsider now, I must still say it."

Uncle Ning said resolutely.

Qin Peifeng did not speak.

"I feel, Young Master, that you should put aside your prejudice against him. If possible, I hope he can become your partner."

Uncle Ning bit the bullet and finished what he had to say.

"Why should I become partners with him?"

Qin Peifeng knew his words just now were a bit harsh, but they were merely spoken in anger. He also knew that Uncle Ning had watched him grow up and had always been loyal. Although what he said just now wasn't pleasant to hear, it had hurt his feelings. However, Uncle Ning must have had his reasons for saying that, so after calming down, he quickly asked for the reason.

"Young Master, you are currently being suppressed by the Eldest Young Master in Zhili Country to the point where you cannot even lift your head. It is not that you lack strength, but that you lack an ally," Uncle Ning said, enunciating every word clearly.

"An ally? Do you feel he is trustworthy? Or are you suggesting he can help us with something?"

"Based on my understanding, this Robinson is extremely protective of his own. He is also exceptionally good to those around him. However, he cannot stand it when others betray him. Furthermore, he possesses the absolute strength to help you. Also, think about it: the opponents you are facing now are not just limited to Qin Zhiyuan. There are simply too many people who want to eliminate you right now. Without an ally, you might find it impossible to make any progress."

"Then why must it be Robinson?" Qin Peifeng actually somewhat agreed with Uncle Ning's point of view, but he was not at all reconciled to the idea of cooperating with Robinson. After all, the last time he went to discuss cooperation, they had flatly rejected him.

"Young Master, you must realize how formidable Robinson's skills are. Although in the eyes of others, joining forces with him might be like throwing an egg against a rock, what if it achieves unexpected results?"

In Uncle Ning's view, this person, Robinson, hid his true self very deeply. He had been in Zhili Country for so long, yet he had not revealed his true strength. If someone said he was easy to deal with, he would never believe it. Currently, Qin Peifeng's goal was to obtain control of the Qin Family. Cooperating with him would be the best choice. However, his own Young Master's perspective was giving him a headache.

"Then, since you know he is this powerful, others should also know he has formidable skills," Qin Peifeng was still unwilling to accept this reality.

"Very well! Since you say so, Young Master, let me ask you: if you hadn't seen how he dealt with Victor, would you have believed he possessed such formidable skills?" Uncle Ning countered.

Qin Peifeng remained silent. If he hadn't clashed with Robinson several times himself, he would absolutely not have believed that Robinson possessed such formidable skills. It was just that previously, the two of them were the type to loathe the sight of each other. Now, having to cooperate with him, the contrast between before and after was just too great, leaving him somewhat unable to react.

"Young Master, I don't know if you have heard this old saying: 'Those who achieve great things do not fuss over trifles.' Although there are some conflicts between you and him, they are not deep-seated hatreds, so you shouldn't overthink it."

Uncle Ning had watched him grow up. Seeing him with his head lowered, he knew exactly what Qin Peifeng was thinking. Although Qin Peifeng had suffered a lot growing up, he was still a person who cared too much about saving face. He needed someone to guide him.

"But Uncle Ning, a few days ago, Wang Long even suggested an idea to me, telling me to hire someone to kill him," Qin Peifeng said.

"I know Wang Long has your best interests at heart. But Young Master, even with your own strategy, you cannot deal with that man, Robinson. Do you really think that with Wang Long's idea, he would be able to do anything against him? Besides, haven't we not taken action yet? As long as no action has been taken, everything is still salvageable."

Listening to Uncle Ning's words, Qin Peifeng remained silent. Although he knew what Uncle Ning said was the truth, he simply did not want to believe it.

Seeing that Qin Peifeng was still hesitating, Uncle Ning decided to administer a stronger dose of medicine.

"Young Master, do you think becoming the helmsman of the Qin Family is more important, or are the grudges between you and Robinson more important? This time, your return to Zhili Country is already fraught with difficulties. Moreover, it is possible that Qin Zhiyuan has already joined forces with certain powers. If you do not seek an ally, how can you compete with him? Do you still want to live under his shadow?"

Upon hearing this, the wine glass in Qin Peifeng's hand fell to the floor with a crash. If there were other reasons, he might not care. But to become the helmsman of the Qin Family, he absolutely could not fail. He did not want to live under Qin Zhiyuan's shadow any longer. Viewed in this light, the hatred between him and Robinson was nothing at all.

"Young Master! According to the information we gathered, Qin Zhiyuan has now partnered with the Jin Family!" Uncle Ning dropped another piece of news.

"What? How did they cooperate? How is that possible?" Qin Peifeng was greatly shocked.

If Qin Zhiyuan had partnered with the Jin Family, then it would be even harder for him to gain control of the Qin Family. After all, the Jin Family was also one of the top major families in Zhili Country.

"Sigh, Young Master, this matter is basically a foregone conclusion. For some reason, the eldest young lady of the Jin Family has taken a fancy to Qin Zhiyuan. Once the two families intermarry, our chances will be even slimmer."

Uncle Ning glanced at Qin Peifeng and continued.

"Young Master, regardless of whether this news is true or not, you must prepare for this possibility; otherwise, you will be caught off guard when the time comes. You might be driven out of Zhili Country. You wouldn't want to see that happen, would you?"

"So, based on what you're saying, I have no choice but to cooperate with Robinson." Qin Peifeng sighed helplessly.

"It's not necessarily like that. You could also cooperate with other factions. But can you guarantee that they haven't already partnered with Qin Zhiyuan? After all, cooperating with Qin Zhiyuan offers higher and greater benefits than cooperating with you."

Qin Peifeng was stunned after hearing this. That was true. He was currently at a disadvantage. Those people from major families might not so easily cooperate with him.

"Then what should I do? Even if I want to cooperate with him, he might not be willing," Qin Peifeng said, also feeling very helpless.

"Then let us make use of Moriarty. He might be the best opportunity," Uncle Ning said.
