Chapter 816 - 821: Great Minds Think Alike
Every sentence is understandable on its own, but when linked together, the deeper meaning becomes elusive—that’s how Zhang Yong felt right now.
Not just Zhang Yong, everyone else felt the same.
What’s the deal? Justin merely gave away some intelligence for free, and Yang Yi made the leap to Big Ivan showing up—those things are clearly unrelated.
Watching the crowd’s perplexed faces, Yang Yi spread his hands and said in a grave voice, "This matter is somewhat complicated, involving many different aspects. First, let’s talk about the outcome of this battle. No matter who did it, the victor is on Big Ivan’s side, right?"
"Yes, that’s right."
"So, after Big Ivan’s victory, what need does he have to spread this news himself?"
Zhang Yong frowned and said, "Of course it’s necessary. Can’t he be happy about winning?"
Yang Yi helplessly said, "I meant, why would Justin need to spread this news himself?"
Zhang Yong spread his hands and replied, "Fine, you continue, just pretend I didn’t ask."
Yang Yi said solemnly, "Considering Justin’s personality and style, he has no reason to do this. But the fact that he gave me this intelligence voluntarily is abnormal. If we deduce behavior from personality, then Justin’s actions must be profit-driven. So, where does his interest lie?"
After posing the question, Yang Yi immediately went on, "My guess is that Justin needs to rally support for Big Ivan, to let the entire underworld know that Big Ivan has the upper hand in the war with the United States. Big Ivan has gained an advantage; what is this? It’s deterrence! It’s warning everyone not to pick the wrong side. Amidst the conflict between Deyo and Big Ivan, stabilizing the confidence of one’s own people and undermining the enemy’s morale is undoubtedly very important."
