"Yes, Chairman Wang, if you want everyone to believe you, you need to say something convincing. Otherwise, even if we want to trust you, we simply can't."

"Chairman Wang, what exactly is going on? You can't just sit there in silence; you must explain the situation to us so that we can believe you."

The Martial Warriors in the meeting room were outwardly expressing concern, urging Wang Ye to quickly provide a reason for them to believe him.

However, what they verbalized was, in their view, likely to make Wang Ye anxious, which could lead him to slip up in his state of unease.

In the room next to the meeting room.

The woman glanced at Yuan Shuo, relieved to see that he wasn't angered by the group in the meeting room ganging up against Wang Ye and Chai Yan.

She knew Yuan Shuo's intentions and was afraid that out of anger, he might lose his composure and head straight for the meeting room.

In doing so, Yuan Shuo's plans would be disrupted.

"Don't worry, I'm not so easily influenced," Yuan Shuo said languidly. As he spoke, he turned to the woman beside him with some annoyance and said,

"Really, why are you so concerned about me under these circumstances? Do you all think I'm unreliable, to the point where you worry about my state of mind over such a trivial matter, fearing it would affect the plan's progress?"

"Uh... this..."

The woman stuttered, avoiding a direct response to Yuan Shuo's question.

Meanwhile, she couldn't help but complain inwardly, wondering how he could be so oblivious to his own nature.

Many people knew that Yuan Shuo, the Chairman of the Xijiang Province Martial Arts Association, was unreliable. He was careless and hardly ever involved himself in the affairs of the Association. If it weren't for his status as a Third Grade Martial Warrior and his connections with the Association's executives, he wouldn't have been able to hold the position of Chairman.

And this was exactly why the woman was sent here.

Because the higher-ups of the Martial Arts Association were concerned about Yuan Shuo's haphazard ways, which might lead to other mistakes, they dispatched this woman to keep an eye on him.

The woman wondered how Yuan Shuo, knowing the purpose of her presence, could remain so unconcerned...

None of the other provincial-level Martial Arts Association Chairmen had ever received such 'special treatment'.

But Yuan Shuo was the first to enjoy this privilege...

Yuan Shuo remained silent, a faint smile on his face, but his smile was different from Wang Ye's. Whereas Wang Ye's smile was indifferent, Yuan Shuo's gave off a lazy vibe.

Watching the situation in the meeting room through the surveillance, Yuan Shuo was eager to see how Wang Ye would respond to the matter at hand.

However,

What Yuan Shuo didn't anticipate was that Wang Ye would lay out all the evidence in front of everyone in the meeting room. Whether it was the video recordings from Shenglong Martial Arts School or the signed agreements, everything was presented.

This unexpected move brought a grin to Yuan Shuo's face, as he hadn't expected Wang Ye's approach to be so simple and straightforward, bringing forth all the evidence without further elaboration.

Sometimes, the simplest methods can be the most effective.

With evidence in place, what could the others in the meeting room say next?

The evidence was clear; while Wang Ye did indeed use some tactics to hoodwink Yun Hong, all procedures were legitimate and flawless.

As a result, the accusations that had been flying in the meeting room just moments ago fell apart on their own.

With the most straightforward approach, Wang Ye won the battle.

"I thought I'd see some excitement here, but I didn't expect that there would be none at all. I've wasted all my efforts, having called this meeting just to watch the drama unfold between them,"

The woman beside Yuan Shuo froze in surprise upon hearing his words.

No wonder this meeting lacked any substantial content. She was aware of Yuan Shuo's character—unless it was something important, he couldn't be bothered to call a meeting.

The woman had been confused about Yuan Shuo's motives for convening the meeting. Now it appeared that Yuan Shuo's sole purpose was just to give them, and himself, an opportunity to be spectators to the unfolding drama?

For a moment, the woman felt she had a barrage of complaints in her mind but couldn't find the words to express them.

However, just as Yuan Shuo was about to leave, the scene in the meeting room made him sigh. Yet the woman sensed Yuan Shuo's delight from his sigh, a mood uplifted by the 'fruit' of the drama.

"It seems that, at this point, I must go there myself after all."

...

In the meeting room.

Chai Yan, upon seeing that Wang Ye had brought out all the evidence, silencing the room, cast a glance at him.

For a moment, even Chai Yan didn't know whether to admire Wang Ye or to question his own intelligence.

Simply presenting the evidence was effective, but he had not thought of that.

Then, Ma Jin's voice rang out:

"The video clearly shows that you agreed to the terms because Yun Hong was unaware of your true strength. You concealed your strength from the beginning—that's enticement."

"So, this is still deception, and you've tricked the Liu Yun Sect out of their treasured artifact."
